Chapter 438 Graduation Assignment 4 You got what you wanted, congratulations...
As the saying goes, secrecy leads to success, while disclosure leads to failure.
For such matters with uncertain outcomes, Yao Zhizhi usually chooses to keep silent.
So she subconsciously wanted to find an excuse to get away with it, but when she met Zhu Mingmei's eager eyes, she hesitated.
After four years of studying together, how could she not know who Zhu Mingmei was?
This is not a big mouth, nor is he a mean person who is jealous of others.
This is a frank, trustworthy partner.
Therefore, even if things don't work out in the end, Zhu Mingmei won't laugh at her.
Yao Zhizhi smiled and nodded, "Looking at Teacher He's attitude, it seems like that's what he meant."
Zhu Mingmei was overjoyed. Her nervous expression vanished, and joy filled every inch of her face, as if the brightness of spring had replaced the bleakness of winter. Warmth rippled through the corners of her eyes, a heartfelt sense of relief and excitement. She couldn't help but scream, "Great!"
Yao Zhizhi couldn't help but pinch her cheek: "So happy? If someone didn't know you, they would think you were my sister."
"That doesn't matter. I'm a little older than you, after all." Zhu Mingmei smiled and took Yao Zhizhi's arm, excitedly saying, "I've heard that Teacher He is so protective of his reputation that he's even reluctant to write a letter of recommendation for Ji Dongqi. My intuition tells me this can work, and my head tells me it's a sure thing. But we can't make it public right now. If Lu Yihong finds out, he'll definitely make things difficult for you."
"Yeah." Yao Zhizhi felt relieved. Zhu Mingmei was indeed a clear-headed person. Although Lu Yihong had already caused damage, they still had to remain vigilant until the dust settled.
What she had to do next was to find her father to think of a solution and pass a message to Lu Yihong's uncle. She had been patient and tolerant and had shown mercy to him. If Lu Yihong continued to jump around, she would not mind letting Lu Yihong truly experience the miserable days - she still had the information about the woman from another place in her hand.
Once Zhou Xiaoxiao knew about this, she knew without a doubt that Lu Yihong would lose the job he had gotten.
She didn't say anything now just because she didn't want to break up. Otherwise, if Lu Yihong's uncle found her father, wouldn't it make things difficult for the old man?
After all, he is a member of the army, so we have to give him some face.
When she returned home in the evening, she told Yao Jingzong about what had happened recently, which made him very angry. He went to find Tao Songnian early the next morning.
Tao Songnian also had a bad temper. He directly called the immediate superior of Lu Yihong's uncle Hong Zhenbang. That afternoon, Hong Zhenbang suffered the consequences. He was called over by his superior and was severely scolded. So when Lu Yihong recovered from his serious illness a week later, before he had time to be happy, his uncle came over and kicked him a few times.
In the end, it was his uncle who brought him to Yao Zhizhi's house, personally apologized to her, and promised not to do the same again. Only then did Yao Zhizhi relent and stop interfering in Lu Yihong's affairs.
As they left the alley, Lu Yihong was still unconvinced and shouted, "Uncle, you believe everything they say? Do they have any evidence?"
Hong Zhenbang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and just hit him with his head: "Stop talking nonsense to me, I just want to ask you, did you do it?"
Lu Yihong was timid. He covered his buzzing head, groaned in frustration, and muttered, "Just talk, why are you using your hands? If I get beaten stupid, who's to blame?"
"You dare to talk back, right?" Hong Zhenbang was so angry that he kicked him twice more, making Lu Yihong scream.
Finally, he had to bow his head: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I just don't accept it. If it weren't for Yao's meddling——"
Before he could finish his words, Hong Zhenbang grabbed Lu Yihong's ear and warned him through gritted teeth, "What did I tell you? Huh? Always look for your own problems before you find fault with others! If you hadn't been promiscuous, would they have caught you? If you hadn't had evil intentions and altered someone's application form, would I have been implicated by you and scolded by the boss? You bastard, are you happy to kill me?"
Lu Yihong was depressed: "How would I know about the army? You didn't tell me that your leader knew Tao Songnian."
"You're still trying to quibble, aren't you? Okay, don't go to the radio station!" Hong Zhenbang was so angry that he turned around and left after saying those harsh words.
He really couldn't understand it. They say nephews look like their uncles, but why didn't his nephew look like him? It seems that the acquired environment is really important. Oh, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let his sister marry that bastard named Lu. What good can a family like that raise?
Unfortunately, it was too late to regret now. He could only cut off the source of the problem and let Lu Yihong go back to his hometown.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yihong was such a reckless person. Seeing that his uncle was really angry, he quickly chased after him, hugged his uncle's legs, and knelt down with a plop, crying and begging: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Can't I dare to do it again in the future? Uncle, please don't let me go back. I want to stay in the capital. Besides, if I stay here, my cousins' children can apply to schools here in the future, and I can take care of them. How great."
Hong Zhenbang sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? With your character, you might get fired after just one or two years. Why should I risk my reputation to clean up your mess? Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'll go talk to the radio station and give the opportunity to someone more suitable."
"No, uncle, can't I change? I will change!" Lu Yihong was really scared. His uncle had never been so strict with him. Now he could only lower his posture and bow his head quickly. He didn't want to go back to his hometown. No place could compare to the capital.
Looking at his nephew with tears in his eyes, Hong Zhenbang finally softened his heart. There was nothing he could do. He had to give his nephew another chance.
But if you want to stay in the capital, you must agree to three rules.
So he kicked Lu Yihong and made three demands:
First, no casual relationships between men and women; second, no harassing Yao Zhizhi anymore, and so on, do not mess with people and things with backgrounds; third, do not make trouble out of nothing in the unit, do not seek credit, but seek to avoid mistakes, this kind of unit all requires seniority, as long as the qualifications are enough, you can let him become a leader smoothly and climb up step by step.
Hong Zhenbang is not a fool. He has deep considerations for doing this. After all, the new generation will always replace the old generation. Once he retires, his descendants will have to have someone to help them.
Although his children are relatively sensible at present, none of them has the ability to get into a top university like Lu Yihong.
Therefore, helping Lu Yihong stay in the capital is for the long-term purpose.
It’s a pity that this kid Lu Yihong is so ignorant that he actually dares to pluck hair from a tiger’s head. It’s really infuriating.
I hope that today's beating will make this kid behave himself.
In the end, the uncle and nephew reached a reconciliation.

The sky was clear on the day the graduates' assignment registration certificates came out.
Yao Zhizhi arrived at school early in the morning, waiting for fate to favor her.
Fortunately, God did not let down the hard-working young person. When she saw the four words "stay in school to teach", all her efforts turned into the most concrete smile at this moment.
Zhu Mingmei came over and saw the expected result. She couldn't help but hug Yao Zhizhi's arm, laughing and jumping, as happy as a three-year-old child who bought candy.
Yao Zhizhi smiled and pinched Zhu Mingmei's cheek, then asked, "What about you?"
"I'll go to the provincial capital with Cheng Che. He'll go to the provincial government, and I'll go to the education department." Zhu Mingmei also got the expected result. Although she was unable to stay in the capital, she was not disappointed.
Yao Zhizhi was also happy for her. The provincial capital's education department was a great starting point, so she encouraged her, "Work hard. Maybe one day we'll run into each other at a meeting."
"That's really possible." Although Zhu Mingmei was still not sure which stage of school she would be in charge of after she went to the unit, no matter what, at least there was a possibility that her work content would overlap with Yao Zhizhi, who stayed at the school to teach.
However, she knew Yao Zhizhi's personality. Although staying in school to teach had fewer restrictions than working in government agencies, she still had to be cautious. So she urged her, "You should also work hard. If you encounter a meeting you don't like, don't miss it even if you are distracted."
"I know, don't worry." Yao Zhizhi smiled and looked at her watch. She didn't know what the result was on Qi Changxiao's side, so she had to go to the Foreign Languages Department to check.
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Qi Changxiao riding his bicycle towards me. When he arrived at the bottom of the teaching building, he leaned his bicycle against the tree next to him without saying a word, and walked over in two steps to show his registration certificate to Yao Zhizhi.
Yao Zhizhi smiled: "I got what I wanted. Congratulations, Teacher Qi!"
"What about you?" Qi Changxiao picked up the registration certificate from his wife's hand. He was completely relieved and couldn't help but want to kiss his wife. Unfortunately, Zhu Mingmei was standing next to him watching, so he had to be conservative and just smiled.
Zhu Mingmei knew that she had spoiled the mood, but she didn't want to be a tactful person. She just wanted to be a light bulb today. After all, she was leaving soon, but Qi Changxiao could always be with Yao Zhizhi. As a good friend of Yao Zhizhi, what was wrong with her taking up some of the young couple's time?
Justified!
Life is not just about love.
So she shamelessly snatched Yao Zhizhi away from Qi Changxiao: "Alright, alright, you two can go back and celebrate. Our class has a graduation party and we'll be late. Xiao Qi, you go back first."
Qi Changxiao reluctantly let go of Yao Zhizhi and said with a smile, "Our class is also having a party, where are you going?"
"Let's go to the newly opened restaurant next to the school." Yao Zhizhi rarely eats out, and she really didn't know that there was a new restaurant nearby. It was Zhu Mingmei who told her when she came here in the morning.
Qi Changxiao knew that because his class schedule was not exactly the same as Yao Zhizhi's, sometimes he would go around in order to wait for her to go back together.
So he smiled and said, "Let's go, it's on the way. Our class is also there."
However, since his wife's friend was also there, he couldn't just take his wife with him and leave Zhu Mingmei behind, so in the end the three of them walked there together.
The hotel is located on the street between two top universities, which gives it a great geographical advantage.
Yao Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh: "This boss must be someone important."
"Yeah, I heard the rent is very expensive. Most people definitely don't have the ability to open a restaurant here." Zhu Mingmei stood downstairs, looking up at the layout of the building. Judging from the windows facing the street, the upstairs should all be those separate private rooms.
She took Yao Zhizhi's arm and said, "Let's go. Our class is on the third floor."
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the door of the private room, I saw a strange girl carrying a suitcase and hesitating whether to knock on the door.
Zhu Mingmei smiled and asked, "Hello, this is the single room reserved for Class 1 of the Chinese Department. Which college are you from? Did you come to the wrong place?"
The girl smiled and smoothed her bangs, then shyly said, "I wish I could get into your school. I'm here to see my boyfriend. His classmates said he was at the graduation party, so I came to see him."
"Oh? Who is your boyfriend?" Zhu Mingmei asked kindly, but in order to avoid making the girl nervous, she did not knock on the door for the time being.
The girl smoothed her bangs again and blushed as she asked, "Lv Yihong, he's your vice-class monitor, right?"
What? Zhu Mingmei was stunned and subconsciously turned around to look at Yao Zhizhi, who had a calm face.
