Chapter 432: Being used as a stepping stone
Zeng He did not feel any apology when facing Huang Ying'er's accusation, but instead laughed out loud.
He scoffed, "You're suggesting this? Do you have any evidence?"
You don't, but I do.
Everyone in the Ministry of Industry knows that I made those improvements bit by bit, working through the night."
"You..." Huang Ying'er laughed angrily. She really couldn't produce any evidence.
When she was first brought to the Ministry of Works by the young leader Yuan, everyone thought she was a relative and came to the Ministry of Works for fun out of boredom.
Zeng He, her immediate superior, also thought so at first and looked down on her, ostracizing and suppressing her at every turn.
Huang Ying'er wanted to have an easier time in the Ministry of Industry, so she helped other craftsmen fix two minor problems with their tools.
Zeng He suddenly acted like someone who valued talent and often asked her questions in private.
Huang Ying'er never expected that her kind help would become his stepping stone.
She made her first glass bottle yesterday, and Leader Yuan said he would take it away and present it to the emperor.
I don’t know if it was successful.
Otherwise, she would be able to take advantage of the power of others, no, she would be able to bully others by relying on their power!
Huang Ying'er looked at the arrogant Zeng He and said with a smile, "Master Zeng, I haven't even used a fraction of my true abilities, so why did you expose yourself?
You could have been promoted to three levels, but because you were too eager for quick success, you could only be promoted to one level.
Do you think it’s a pity or not?”
Zeng He's expression changed again and again: "Do you really have the ability to let me advance three levels in a row? If you have any conditions, just put them forward."
Huang Ying'er covered her mouth and giggled, "Master Zeng, you are so naive.
How could a weak woman like me have such great ability? I was just joking with you.
I will take a five-day rest, Master Zeng, and I will take my leave now."
Huang Ying'er didn't care about those little skills, but she felt very unhappy about being used by others.
She won't let Zeng He go easily.
After all, Zeng He has more than one competitor.
Huang Ying'er hummed "Good Days" and left the Ministry of Works happily.
Zeng He's face turned pale and blue, and he regretted that he had acted too hastily.
But he comforted himself that the longer he delayed, the more things would go wrong, and he might end up with nothing.
It’s better to grab what you can grab first.

Huang Ying'er walked out of the Ministry of Industry.
"Wow, this is the smell of freedom." Huang Ying'er stretched comfortably. She had been locked up in the Ministry of Industry for a month blowing glass bottles and was almost getting moldy. "The air outside is so good, and the sunshine is so hot!"
She took out an umbrella, opened it with a swish, and held it over her head.
I bought a candy man on the roadside and ate it happily while walking.
She first went to "Qingfeng Xiaolou" to find Wen Yan, and then wrote the braised dish recipe to her.
After a big meal, I went to buy some gifts to take back home.
Although the father, mother and brothers here are not biological children.
But they were very nice to her.
She will also take good care of them as if they were her own family!
When she was buying Sushan in a small shop, she heard passers-by talking about the new top scholar.
She remembered that Ying Zhilin would also take part in the imperial examination, so she pricked up her ears and listened.
I heard them say, "I've never seen such a number one scholar. He seems obsessed with money."
"It's a pity for Ying Zhilin's handsome face."
Huang Ying'er nearly spit out a mouthful of crispy noodles: "Who do you think is this year's top scholar?"
"It's Ying Zhilin, a scholar who looks down on people with money." The man said with gritted teeth.
Ying Zhilin actually won the top spot in the imperial examination.
No wonder the original owner refused to let go until his death. It turns out that Ying Zhilin is actually a top scholar!
As Wen Yan's business partner, she should also send a big gift to congratulate him.
After eating the Sushan, she prepared to get down to business.
When passing through an alley, a hand suddenly reached out, covered her mouth and dragged her into the alley.
Huang Yinger widened her eyes: Damn, my life is over!
In a flash, a dagger appeared in her hand.
Just as she was about to wait for her chance, she was pushed in front of an acquaintance.
"Why is it you here!" She quietly put the dagger back into space.
"Miss Ying'er, long time no see." The man opposite was tall and handsome.
It was the man Huang Ying'er picked up in the snow and brought home.
Huang Ying'er's heart was pounding, and she had a bad feeling.
"So it's you!" Huang Ying'er stretched out her hand towards him and said with a smile, "You must be here to give me the silver for saving my life!"
The man paused waving his folding fan, tapped Huang Ying'er's forehead lightly, and said lovingly, "You're really obsessed with money."
Huang Ying'er rolled her eyes secretly, which almost gave him goosebumps.
She frowned in feigned confusion: "So, you want to save your life for free?"
The man's mouth twitched: You dead woman, all you talk about is money, you can't understand the romance at all.
He tried hard for a long time before forcing out a stiff smile: "I heard that you went to work in the Ministry of Industry?
The Ministry of Industry is a mixed bag. Even if you have great abilities, you can only help others.
The credit for Zeng He's achievement originally belonged to you, right? "
"You're quite well-informed!" Huang Ying'er looked him up and down. "Who on earth are you? You're not some prince or noble heir, are you?"
The man coughed lightly and said, "Have you ever thought about cooperating with me?"
"Cooperate with you? How to cooperate?" Huang Ying'er was curious. Could it be that he also was interested in glass making?
"You've made some initial progress in improving glass production at the Ministry of Industry, right?
You are bullied and suppressed there.
You might as well leave the Ministry of Industry and work with me.
I will open a glass workshop for you, and I will give you the most comprehensive support in terms of materials and money.
You just need to focus on making colored glass. No one will try to trip you up or cause you any trouble."
If he had known that Huang Ying'er had such ability, he would have kept her in his hands.
I won’t let her fall into the hands of Leader Yuan.
"But working in the Ministry of Industry means a stable income, no matter the weather. I like this kind of stable job."
"Follow me, not only can you live a stable life, but you can also become the most powerful craftsman in Dayong, and even make you second to none and above everyone else."
He gently lifted Huang Ying'er's chin and looked at her with eyes as affectionate as if she was the woman he loved most.
"I can't believe that you haven't fallen in love with me at all, even though we've been together day and night for so long."
Huang Ying'er looked shocked on the surface, but she was thinking in her heart: My guess was right, the dog man's identity is indeed not simple.
Although she is now working in the Ministry of Industry, her work is kept confidential. Even Zeng He does not know what her job is.
This man knew everything clearly, which shows how powerful he is.
According to known information, the dog man is most likely a prince, and he is ambitious to seize the throne.
According to her twenty years of experience in online writing, a technically skilled time-traveling female writer like her will either meet a love-brained male protagonist, and the two will work together to create a peaceful and prosperous world; or she will become a tool for the male protagonist to achieve his ambitions, and when he achieves success, it will be her turn to die.
