Shen Yanhong was so angry that she dared not make a sound, but the bad feeling in her heart grew deeper and deeper. Ye Zhiguo would not lose his temper for no reason. Could it be that something happened to Lan'er's work?

At this moment, Shen Yanhong hadn't thought about losing her work; she figured it might just be delayed.

During dinner, Ye Zhiguo's anger subsided somewhat. Before Shen Yanhong could ask, Ye Zhiguo brought it up himself, his face dark, and said, "The other spot has already been filled by someone who was parachuted in. Lan'er, you should look for another job!"

Clang!

Ye Lan was scooping soup with a spoon when she was so shocked that she dropped the spoon. The color drained from her face instantly, and she looked at Ye Zhiguo in disbelief.

"He's just a temporary worker, how come someone parachuted in? Who is it?" Shen Yanhong was also anxious.

Everything was going so well, how did it all fall through?

Ye Lan is in poor health and has no diploma. Where can she find a job that is easier than being a clerk?

Ye Zhiguo couldn't figure it out either; he had been depressed all day.

“You all know the person who was parachuted in; it’s Zhao Di from behind our house. Director Huang said that Zhao Di has too much influence, and he doesn’t dare to offend her,” Ye Zhiguo said.

Shen Yanhong and Ye Lan's expressions changed simultaneously. "How could it be Zhao Di? What connection could her impoverished family possibly have? Director Huang must be joking!"

They simply couldn't believe that Zhao Di's family didn't know.

How come he suddenly has a powerful backer that even Director Huang wouldn't dare offend, when he can't even find a relative who is an official in eight lifetimes?

Ye Zhiguo said impatiently, "Zhao Di reported to the factory today and will start work in three days. How could she be joking? I inquired and it seems that the president of the Chamber of Commerce called the factory director, and the factory director personally instructed Director Huang to handle this matter properly. This Zhao Di family really doesn't show off. With such a powerful backer as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Di's mother, who is such a gossipy person, has never mentioned it!"

He couldn't help but glance at the old lady. Zhao Di's mother was also talkative, but she said things clearly and explicitly, whether they should or shouldn't be said. Unlike his mother, who had no sense of propriety and blurted out everything she shouldn't have!

well!

"What about Lan'er's job?" Shen Yanhong asked anxiously.

Ye Zhiguo frowned, his tone somewhat reproachful, "I shouldn't have resigned so quickly yesterday. I should ask the shoe factory owner again later to see if I can go back to work."

"don't want!"

Ye Lan cried out. She had finally managed to escape from the shoe factory, and she was determined not to go back!

"The landlady said yesterday that we don't need to go back!" Ye Lan explained in a low voice, and was slapped on the head by the old lady.

"What boss lady would like a lazy pig like you? She'd rather you get lost. Someone as hardworking as Zhao Di would be sought after by everyone. A little slut like you is hated by everyone!"

The old lady was furious, yelling and hitting him.

Yesterday she said the clerk job was a sure thing, but today it's all gone. She knew she couldn't trust that slutty widow Shen Yanhong; she never tells the truth. Even if she earned very little at the shoe factory, she'd still get over two hundred yuan, which is better than nothing.

Now things are really messed up; the clerk job is gone, and the two hundred-plus yuan from the shoe factory has vanished...

The old lady was so distressed she could hardly breathe, and her attacks became even more ruthless. Ye Lan's old injuries from yesterday hadn't healed, and she suffered many new ones. She cried out in despair, and Shen Yanhong didn't dare to intervene, fearing she might really ruin her hand. She could only stand by anxiously.

Ye Zhiguo was in a bad mood, so he simply ignored it and ate his meal.

Ye Qingqing watched coldly, picked up a piece of meat for Xiaotong, and slowly smiled.

With Ye Lan's crying making her feel better, she was determined to eat half a bowl more!
