Meng Zihan sat up, wiped away her tears, and choked out, "Auntie, I remember that the factory has a quota for sponsored trainees every year. Could you ask Uncle to help me get one?"
Meng Xueyun thought it was a good idea.
She immediately turned her head and shouted outside.
"Old Ye, come in here for a moment! I need to discuss something with you."
Ye Zhenghua reluctantly came over, stood at the door without going inside, and asked impatiently, "What is it?"
"Old Ye, that trainee in your factory..."
Upon hearing this opening, Ye Zhenghua knew what the two aunt and niece were up to.
He refused without hesitation.
"Impossible. I can't even keep my position as workshop director this time. If I'm really elected, the best outcome will be that I become the deputy director in charge of safety."
"How sought-after are these sponsored trainees? They're hard to find. Who would want to work with a worthless deputy director like me?"
"You have only your own faults. If you hadn't caused trouble back then and made it impossible for Xiao Chen to stay, none of this would have happened."
"I think you should stop causing trouble. If you're not cut out for it, don't force yourself. Just focus on your graduation exams. If you can't even pass them, your family won't have the money for you to retake the exams. In the end, you'll only be able to work as a temporary worker in a production line!"
Ye Zhenghua finished speaking and turned to leave.
Meng Zihan felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and she slumped onto the bed, unable to even cry.
Meng Xueyun was so angry that she jumped up and down, pointing at Ye Zhenghua's back and cursing loudly.
"Ye Zhenghua! Are you even human?!"
"Who was it that cried and begged me to marry you back then? And what did you say in return?"
"He swore he would treat me well and my family well!"
"And now?"
"ah?"
"Put your hand on your heart and tell me, what have you done now!"
"Auntie!" Meng Zihan grabbed her and hissed in a low voice, "Can't you be quiet for a moment! What's the point of making a scene like this? It'll only make things worse!"
This aunt is utterly foolish.
They rely entirely on Ye Zhenghua now, eating his food, drinking his drinks, and using his services. If they really fall out and completely offend him, what if he kicks them out?
Meng Xueyun was taken aback by her shout.
Her expression changed, and she seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything and just sighed heavily.
Seeing her useless appearance, Meng Zihan felt even more annoyed.
What's the point of bringing up old grievances with Ye Zhenghua?
Can we take what was said more than ten years ago seriously?
Meng Xueyun still thought Ye Zhenghua was the same naive young man he used to be, someone who could be easily appeased by throwing a tantrum or acting cute?
That's so stupid!
She ruined my life!
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She could already picture herself wearing baggy, dirty work clothes and a heavy safety helmet, working hard on a noisy production line.
The work clothes were so dirty that their colors were indistinguishable, their faces were always covered in dust that could never be washed off, and their nostrils were filled with the pungent smell of furnace ash.
The worst part is that they have to work three shifts!
She works while others rest, and she can only catch up on sleep while others work.
Like a rat in a sewer that can't stand the light!
Just thinking about that kind of life makes her feel suffocated!
She doesn't want to! She absolutely refuses to live like that!
Why can Ye Linchen go to university, but Meng Zihan can't?
She absolutely must go to university!
Even if she can't get on, she'll make sure Ye Linchen can't get on either!
Oh, right, Ye Linchen!
A brilliant idea flashed in Meng Zihan's mind.
Ye Linchen ranked second in the class in this exam, even better than Gu Yifei.
She is also exceptionally strong in science, ranking first in the entire class.
If Ye Linchen is willing to tutor her, her grades will definitely improve a lot!
Thinking of this, Meng Zihan's despair was rekindled with hope.
"Auntie," Meng Zihan looked pitifully at Meng Xueyun, her face streaked with tears, "My cousin is a good student. She got second place in the class this time, and she even got a perfect score in math. Could you go talk to her and ask her to tutor me..."
Although Meng Xueyun felt sorry for her, she was in a difficult position when she heard this request.
"It's not that your aunt is unwilling, it's just that that brat won't listen to me, and it's no use talking to her. You mentioned this before, didn't she say she would never study with you?"
“We were too assertive before, so my cousin ignored us. This time, when you go, bring some food and talk to her nicely.”
"You are her mother after all. What mother and daughter would hold a grudge overnight? She will definitely agree."
Meng Xueyun still refused.
Should we make her bow down to that brat?
On what grounds?
That unfilial brat should come and kowtow to her to admit her mistake!
Moreover, she didn't dare tell Ye Zhenghua about the time she ran into Ye Linchen at the restaurant and inexplicably paid over a hundred yuan for the meal.
She didn't dare cut back on the family's food, and she was racking her brains trying to figure out where to make up for the deficit.
Now she has to pay for cooking for that brat?
Where can we get the money?
Meng Zihan noticed Meng Xueyun's concerns and offered her some advice.
"Uncle is having a headache over the election right now, all because my cousin refuses to come back to live with him. Now that you're willing to humble yourself to my cousin for his election, Uncle will be very happy to hear that. He'll even give you money to cook more delicious food and send it to my cousin!"
Meng Xueyun laughed: "That's a good idea. You're really quick-witted."
It's a pity that such a smart child can't seem to improve in his studies.
Meng Xueyun sighed and went out to discuss it with Ye Zhenghua.
Meng Zihan felt that this method would definitely work.
Ye Linchen has never received parental love, so he must yearn for it deeply.
With Meng Xueyun's visit, Ye Linchen must have been incredibly moved and eagerly returned.
Once she gets along well with Ye Linchen, she'll have the opportunity to sabotage her and prevent her from taking the college entrance exam.
What's the use of Ye Linchen having excellent grades?
I can only watch helplessly as I get into university!
We need to get her salary back to buy her some new clothes.
That wool coat I saw last time was pretty nice...
Meng Zihan was so engrossed in her own fantasy that she forgot about today's homework and also forgot that a big problem was waiting for her.
A few days later, Ye Linchen and Shen Yanlin cornered Meng Zihan and Gu Yifei in their seats during a break between classes.
Without a second thought, Gu Yifei shielded Meng Zihan behind him, looking at them warily.
"What are you trying to do now! Is bullying Meng Zihan after school not enough for you?"
Ye Linchen rolled her eyes, completely ignoring Gu Yifei, and only looked at Meng Zihan, who was pretending to be pitiful behind him.
"Meng Zihan, while everyone's here, explain why you called Shen Yanlin's father to falsely accuse us, causing a misunderstanding between them?"
Meng Zihan's face paled. It's been several days already, why are these two still arguing about this issue!
But she made the call from a public phone, so how could the investigation have traced it back to her?
right!
As long as she doesn't admit it, you can't find her!
