Chapter 273: Forced
Seeing Su Nanzhi leave the office, the secretary standing next to Dongfang Ding could no longer hold back and speak.
"Director, Comrade Su is quite confident in himself."
Although Su Nanzhi has strong sales skills, the college entrance examination is a very difficult one to pass. He still remembers that Su Nanzhi's information only showed a certificate of elementary school graduation.
Dongfang Ding glanced at his secretary who had been with him for many years and said with a smile, "How about we make a bet?"
"What bet?"
"Let's bet on whether Su Nanzhi can get into university."
"OK."
***
Su Nanzhi didn't know that someone was betting on whether she could get into college. If she knew, she would definitely bet big or small.
But Su Nanzhi is very busy now.
Although he received a huge salary, Su Nanzhi did not relax at all.
After leaving the factory director's office, she went to the workshop.
Although she sold a lot of tractors this month, she also encountered many problems related to tractors during the sales process.
Anyway, she has nothing to do now, and there are still a few months before the college entrance examination. She can use this time to learn more about tractors, so that she can sell more tractors.
When Su Nanzhi came out of the workshop, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Although it had only been a month since she last came to the tractor factory, the workers' attitude towards her was completely different.
When they came to the tractor factory, although they didn't mock her, they didn't get close to her either, and mostly ignored her.
This time when she came to the tractor factory, Su Nanzhi felt what it meant to feel at home.
Before she even opened her mouth, the workers came over enthusiastically and asked if there was anything they could do to help.
If it weren't for the fact that it was still working hours, Su Nanzhi would have suspected that they were eager to serve her tea and water.
Fortunately, the workers' overly enthusiastic behavior was stopped by the workshop director. Although it was a change from a group of people to a single workshop director being enthusiastic towards her, it also made Su Nanzhi feel relieved.
When the bell for the end of get off work rang, Su Nanzhi was the first to leave the workshop very quickly and efficiently.
She couldn't stand being surrounded by people asking about her well-being.
Before Su Nanzhi reached the gate, she saw Xue Shuang waiting there.
Half an hour later.
Su Nanzhi sat in the middle of the main hall of the Xue family, accepting the "criticism" from Xue Jiawang and Liang Hongying.
.
"Girl, if the Huang Baogui incident hadn't gotten out of hand, I wouldn't have known you were back."
"I've been so nervous all day, I'm worried something might happen to you."
Xue Jiawang paced back and forth in the main room with his hands behind his back, his face full of annoyance. Seeing Su Nanzhi's smiling face, he finally stopped and glared at Su Nanzhi.
"It's such a big thing, why didn't you tell us in advance? We can also give you some advice."
Su Nanzhi was about to speak when Xue Jiawang waved his hand to interrupt her, his tone full of self-blame.
"You are a promising child. Uncle Xue can't really help you. Just be well now."
Su Nanzhi didn't expect that Xue Jiawang's eyes turned red as he spoke.
"Uncle Xue..." Her throat suddenly tightened.
Ever since she was reborn, she has become accustomed to relying on herself for everything.
I didn't expect that Xue Jiawang, who is usually taciturn, actually cares about me so much.
Liang Hongying came over with hot tea and patted Xue Jiawang on the back: "Okay, the child is fine, isn't he?"
Then he put the teacup into Su Nanzhi's hand, and the warm touch gradually warmed her cold fingers.
"Your Uncle Xue was so anxious he didn't even want to go to work." Liang Hongying lowered her voice, but a smile lingered in her eyes. "If I hadn't stopped him, he would have probably trampled down the gate of your tractor factory."
Xue Jiawang coughed violently, his ears turning red: "How can this be exaggerated!"
Then he turned to Su Nanzhi and said, "Now that you have dealt with Huang Baogui, what are your plans next?"
Su Nanzhi immediately told him that she was planning to take the college entrance examination.
Xue Jiawang slammed the table fiercely, "Okay, your Su family has never had an illiterate person."
"Back then, Minglang and Jingyi both had college educations. If not..."
"Old Xue." Xue Jiawang was halfway through his words when Liang Hongying suddenly interrupted him. "Did you not sleep well last night? Your mind is confused."
Compared to her somewhat vague memory of Su Minglang, Su Nanzhi's memory of Miao Jingyi was even more vague. When she heard Xue Jiawang talking about Miao Jingyi, she couldn't help but look curious.
"Uncle Xue, my mom and dad were college classmates?"
Xue Jiawang regretted it the moment he blurted out Miao Jingyi's name. When he heard Su Nanzhi's words again, a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
Su Nanzhi put down the teacup and looked at him with burning eyes.
"Uncle Xue, Aunt Liang, how much do you know about my mother?"
Su Nanzhi didn't know much about Miao Jingyi. She only knew that she was not from Zhoushan County and her family had passed away.
Xue Jiawang and Liang Hongying looked at each other, both with hesitation on their faces.
"Uncle Xue, Aunt Liang, I can hardly even remember what my mother looks like." Su Nanzhi's voice was very soft, but it made Xue Jiawang and Liang Hongying determined. "Just tell me."
Liang Hongying looked at her three sons sitting beside her.
"You three go to the kitchen and see how the soup is cooking."
The three Xue brothers knew that they couldn't listen to what was coming next. Although they were curious, they got up and left the room without saying anything else.
Xue Jiawang sighed deeply, then took out an iron box from the inner room and took out a letter from the bottom of the box.
"This is the letter your father sent me when he was in college." He handed the letter to Su Nanzhi, "Inside the letter, there is also a photo of your father and your mother."
Su Nanzhi opened the envelope, and what appeared in front of her was a photo of a young man and woman standing side by side under a big tree.
The man was wearing a neat Mao suit, with gentle eyes and brows, exactly like her father Su Minglang in her vague memory; and the young woman holding his arm was wearing a simple cheongsam, with fair skin and smiling almond eyes, and she looked 70% like the woman.
"This is..." Su Nanzhi thought she had no memory of her mother Miao Jingyi anymore.
But when I saw the photo at this moment, the scene of my mother smiling at me gently emerged in my mind.
"Uncle Xue, why don't I have a photo of my parents at home?" Su Nanzhi used to think that her parents didn't like taking photos, but from the fact that Su Minglang could send photos to Uncle Xue, it can be seen that not liking taking photos so there are no photos is not a reasonable excuse.
Xue Jiawang sighed deeply, "Xiao Su, don't blame your father. This is all because of your mother's identity."
Su Nanzhi was full of confusion. Wasn’t her mother an orphan?
But on second thought, in this day and age, it is difficult even for an ordinary family to support a college student, and it is even more difficult for her mother, an orphan, to go to college.
Liang Hongying patted Xue Jiawang's shoulder and said unhappily, "Don't scare Nanzhi." Then she looked at Su Nanzhi and said, "Your mother's family is very wealthy, even richer than your Su family's ancestors."
Speaking of this, Liang Hongying's mind unconsciously emerged the scene when she first met Miao Jingyi. Miao Jingyi was wearing a light blue cheongsam with dark patterns and an exquisite jade brooch on her collar. She was holding a small calfskin suitcase in her right hand and holding an umbrella in her left hand. A face as white as porcelain jade was faintly visible under the umbrella. A female comrade like her felt ashamed at the sight of her.
"I knew then," Liang Hongying chuckled, "that your mother was a daughter of a wealthy family."
Su Nanzhi never expected that the mother of the girl she thought was an orphan actually came from a wealthy family.
So there seemed to be a reason why Uncle Xue and his father remained silent.
And the reason why her mother committed suicide, which had always troubled her, was finally revealed.
It is definitely not an easy task for a rich lady to raise a child alone while her husband is away serving in the army.
But... it is an indisputable fact that I left her behind.
At this moment, Xue Jiawang spoke up, "Actually, your mother had no choice but to leave..."
