Meng Zihan is also someone who can take things in stride.
They immediately grasped the situation.
Although Gu Yifei lied to her, he made a very good point.
The most urgent task is to implement the program for commissioned trainees.
We can talk about the rest later.
Previously, Meng Zihan was intimidated by Ye Zhenghua, thinking that even he, the deputy director, would lose his job and that his family would have to move out of the cadre compound and into the staff dormitory.
Now that he's kept his deputy director position and is no longer the director, he doesn't have as many things to worry about at work. Of course, he can help her try to secure a place for a sponsored student!
Even if it means entertaining guests and giving gifts, even if it means asking favors, as long as there is hope, we will go bankrupt to make Ye Zhenghua do it.
If they refuse, she'll kill herself in front of them.
Kneeling, jumping off buildings, hunger strikes—do them one by one!
I refuse to believe they're not afraid!
Meng Zihan gritted her teeth and made a decision.
When Meng Zihan got home, Ye Zhenghua had just finished get off work, washed his hands, and sat down at the dinner table.
Meng Xueyun was setting lunch on the table.
Looking up, Meng Xueyun saw that Meng Zihan's eyes were red, and she was startled. She quickly came over to check on her.
"Why are you crying after going to the bookstore? Who bullied you? Did that brat Ye Linchen upset you again?"
Meng Zihan remained silent, only staring at Ye Zhenghua with tears in her eyes.
Ye Zhenghua was baffled.
She cried to herself as soon as she got back. What bad luck!
He called out to the twins who were sitting on the sofa watching TV, "Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei, come and eat, then take a nap."
Seeing that Ye Zhenghua was ignoring her, Meng Zihan cried and questioned him.
"Uncle, you could have helped me get a scholarship, why did you lie to me and say it wasn't possible?"
Ye Zhenghua was annoyed that the topic of sponsored students had come up again.
He frowned unhappily: "Don't you have Director Gu helping you? Why would you need me?"
When Meng Zihan heard Ye Zhenghua say that, she immediately felt extremely wronged.
On the way back, she was still scheming and planning how to talk to Ye Zhenghua, and if he disagreed, she would cry and try to soften his heart. But now she couldn't care less about any of that.
She angrily accused him, "I went to see Director Gu because you said you couldn't help!"
When Meng Zihan realized that she would not be able to continue her university studies and would have to work as a front-line worker in a factory, she felt that her future was bleak and burst into tears.
After becoming deputy director, Ye Zhenghua felt awkward about everything and was very frustrated.
Seeing Meng Zihan crying more and more sadly, he impatiently slammed his hand on the table.
"Crying, crying, crying! All you do all day is cry! You're the one who made my boss die! You've ruined our family with your crying!"
Seeing him acting shamelessly, Meng Xueyun shouted, "What are you doing? Trying to shift the blame onto Xiaohan?"
Ye Zhenghua glared at her: "That's right, what's the use of her crying to me? I'm just a deputy director, I can't do anything about it!"
"Director Gu already told me that you can apply for a training program!" Meng Zihan immediately retorted when she saw that Ye Zhenghua was still lying.
Since it was Factory Director Gu who said it, it must be true.
Meng Xueyun then questioned Ye Zhenghua: "What's going on, Old Ye?"
"Yes, I can try to get it, but look at your grades. Are you really cut out for studying?"
"Given your current situation, even if we managed to secure a spot for you, it would be a complete waste. You'd be better off finding a good man to marry."
Given Ye Zhenghua's connections, if he really wanted to influence this sponsored student, he might very well succeed.
But he refused.
He wanted to leave this opportunity to his two sons.
They both had good grades; although not as outstanding as Ye Linchen, they were still among the top students in the class.
They will be entering their second year of high school this fall, and in another year, they will face the college entrance examination.
If someone doesn't perform well in the college entrance exam, there are still students in the sponsored training program to help them out.
Ye Zhenghua stared at Meng Zihan and said cruelly, "Let me be frank, I intend to save this opportunity for Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei. What will happen to them if you waste it?"
"Since you're not suited for studying, there's no need to force yourself."
"I'm still the deputy director, so I can help you out and arrange a lighter job."
"In a few years, when I retire, I won't have the ability anymore. You'll only be able to go to the front lines and do manual labor!"
Ye Zhenghua felt that he had made himself very clear.
Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei are his biological sons, so of course he has to share good things with them.
Meng Zihan is just a member of Meng Xueyun's family. Her surname is Meng, not Ye. She raised her all these years and doesn't even care about her own daughter. She has done more than enough.
If Meng Zihan is sensible and knows how to be grateful, he will try his best to use his connections to get the factory to arrange an easy office job for Meng Zihan, thus fulfilling his responsibility as an uncle.
But if Meng Zihan is not satisfied and tries to take his son's things, then he will just let it go and see what Meng Zihan can do.
The twins sat on the sofa watching TV, remaining aloof and not wanting to get involved.
They listened attentively to what Ye Zhenghua had to say.
Now he stared intently at Meng Xueyun.
It's not that we want the sponsored student quota. With their grades, if they study hard, they should have no problem getting into a good university on their own.
But they wanted to know Meng Xueyun's attitude.
In her eyes, is her only relative Meng Zihan more important, or are her two sons more important?
Meng Xueyun did not disappoint them and immediately refuted them.
"Old Ye, you can't say that! Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei still have two years until the college entrance exam. Who knows what the policies will be like then? What if the sponsored student program is no longer available? Xiao Han needs it now, so we definitely have to arrange things for her first!"
"Shut up!"
Ye Zhenghua shouted angrily, interrupting Meng Xueyun, and turned to look at Meng Zihan.
"Xiaohan, what do you say? You think so too, that I should plead with everyone to help you get a spot as a sponsored student?"
Meng Zihan bit her lip and remained silent.
Of course, she shared the same idea as Meng Xueyun!
She didn't care whether Ye Linnan and Ye Linbei would be able to go to university in the future.
They're now on Ye Linchen's side, which is really annoying.
She wished they wouldn't be able to study.
But Ye Zhenghua's attitude just now made it very clear.
He was unwilling to help!
But she was unwilling to give up just like that.
She must fight for it!
Meng Zihan went all out.
She bent her knees and knelt down in front of Ye Zhenghua.
"Uncle, I've never asked you for anything."
"Just this once, please help me."
"I just want to study, I want to go to university."
"If you help me apply, I will definitely take good care of you and my aunt in the future."
Ye Zhenghua never expected that Meng Zihan was really so greedy.
Ye Zhenghua snorted coldly: "If I don't help you, will you disown me as your uncle?"
"I've made myself perfectly clear. Kneeling won't help; I can't assist you with this!"
Meng Xueyun immediately screamed, "Old Ye! How could you treat Xiaohan like this! You're trying to drive her to her death!"
