Lu Mo saw through Ye Qingqing's thoughts and reminded her, "You need to set your sights higher and not limit yourself to a machine factory. Focus on your studies and try to get into medical school on your first try."

This girl has excellent talent. Even if her foundation is poor, she can still catch up if she is willing to study hard. Although the work in the machine factory is comfortable, it is only suitable for people who are content with the status quo, not for Ye Qingqing.

"I would never work in a machine factory, no matter how much money you offer me. I just feel it's a bit of a shame that the quota was withdrawn."

Ye Qingqing pouted; she had no intention of associating with Ye Zhiguo's family!

She has to make her own way in the world!

"Do you have any relatives who are unemployed at home?" Ye Qingqing asked.

Lu Mo shook his head, "I don't have any relatives on my side of the family."

Neither Grandpa Lu nor Lin Shufang were natives of Pingjiang City. Grandpa Lu's ancestral home was in a northern province. During the war, all his relatives were killed by the Japanese, leaving only him and a cousin, who then joined the revolution.

Unfortunately, the old man's cousin died not long after, before he could even get married. The Lu family was left with only the old man. The others were all distant relatives who lived in the old village. However, the old man would always return to his old village every two years to sweep the graves of his relatives and catch up with the villagers.

As for Lin Shufang, her hometown is not far from Pingjiang City. It is just a small county town now, but in ten years or so, because of its proximity to Pingjiang City, the small county town will develop rapidly, and the houses and land in Lin Shufang's hometown will become more valuable than gold.

Ye Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, and she slapped her forehead hard. She had almost forgotten something extremely important.

She silently calculated in her mind and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was only 1995, there was still a long way to go, no need to rush.

"Your hand is cramping?"

Lu Mo looked helplessly at the bright red handprint on Ye Qingqing's forehead. He had actually thought that it was crazy, but suddenly hitting his own forehead was what else could it be but crazy.

"Swatting mosquitoes...hehe..."

Ye Qingqing smiled ingratiatingly. Lu Mo's lips twitched. She was lying through her teeth in broad daylight. Lin Shufang hated insects the most. She had covered all the doors and windows with thick screens and lit mosquito coils every day. The house was also surrounded by mosquito-repelling flowers. Where would mosquitoes come from?

Not even a single cockroach could be found.

"You're already stupid enough, if you keep hitting me, you really won't pass the exam!"

Lu Mo couldn't help but reach out and rub Ye Qingqing's forehead, making a sarcastic remark under his breath.

Ye Qingqing was initially quite pleased with this guy's initiative, and closed her eyes to enjoy Lu Mo's not-so-gentle massage. But upon hearing this, Ye Qingqing angrily slapped Lu Mo's hand away and glared at him irritably.

"You jinx! If I fail the exam, it'll definitely be your fault, hmph!"

A smile flashed in Lu Mo's eyes. This girl was so open about being a scoundrel. If she couldn't solve the problem, it was because the teacher who set the question was brain-dead. Now that she couldn't get into university, it was because he cursed her!

"Then I wish you all the best in passing the exam!" Lu Mo thought mischievously and deliberately changed his words.

Ye Qingqing gave a satisfied hum. Even a blockhead like him could be trained, but—

Lu Mo added, "I've already wished you well. If you don't pass the exam, it's definitely because you didn't study hard enough!"

Ye Qingqing stared wide-eyed in astonishment, not understanding what it meant for a long time. It wasn't until she saw the mischievous glint in Lu Mo's eyes that she realized what was going on—

She actually got flirted with by that big blockhead?

Holy crap!

Was it because she trained him too successfully?
