"That's impossible, you're just talking nonsense."
Wen's father looked incredulous.
Just then, Wen's mother came out carrying the dishes and overheard her saying in an annoyed tone, "You, stop bothering your father. He practically begged for a job at the textile factory for you. Otherwise, according to the rules, you wouldn't even have had the chance to take the exam. Now that you're in, work hard. Everyone says it's a good job there..."
She set out the food, and the family ate together. She couldn't help but grumble, "You have no idea how envious everyone is of you these days, knowing you work in a textile factory."
Wen Minting poked at the rice in her bowl, looking rather unhappy.
"What's there to envy? I just want to work in the technology office."
Wen's mother tapped her chopsticks impatiently, signaling her to eat properly: "Don't talk nonsense. I don't believe any of what you're saying. I've met Director Fang myself; how could he be someone who shows favoritism..."
Wen Minting pouted unhappily and said, "It's probably because that girl has a stronger family background than us, and she's backed by President Xu."
When Wen's father heard this, he was somewhat surprised. He had heard a rumor that someone in the textile factory was related to Director Xu, but he didn't expect his daughter to be talking about her.
"Since you know that, don't make things difficult for me. Just focus on your work."
Wen Minting knew her father had rejected her, and she wasn't very happy.
Wen's mother asked with a hint of gossip, "She really does skip work from time to time and sits in the office all day..."
"Of course, otherwise I would envy her so much. By the way, Mom, you don't know, she doesn't even know what kind of relationship she has with President Xu. Not only did the factory allocate her a separate house, but they also got her a washing machine and put it in the dormitory corridor. I've seen that thing in Beidu."
Wen Minting rattled off all the gossip she knew.
Wen's mother clicked her tongue twice and immediately said, "This girl seems quite capable. You mustn't offend anyone; you need to get along well with people..."
Wen Minting rolled her eyes and refused to speak. Seeing her like this, Wen's mother wanted to say more, but Wen's father had already blown his beard and glared at her, saying, "What else is there to ask? It's obvious that your daughter has already offended everyone."
Wen's mother shook her head.
Wen Minting lowered her head somewhat guiltily. She was just unhappy. At the Wen family gathering in Beidu, she was supposed to play the straight man. In Qingcheng, she had always been pampered by her parents and thought she had everything she wanted...
But now she realizes that there are people who are more capable and live better lives than her. Doesn't that make her feel uncomfortable? She unconsciously tries to put Fan Xiaofan down.
"Alright, what deep-seated hatred could you young ladies possibly harbor? Just try to get along with people properly. Your father and I may not have any greater abilities, but if you get along well with them, they'll surely help you out..."
Knowing that her daughter disliked her current job because it was too hard, Wen's mother offered her some advice.
Wen Minting's eyes darted around nimbly. After thinking for a while, she felt that what her mother said was a good idea. She should just treat Fan Xiaofan as one of those arrogant Wen family members in Beidu.
Speaking of this, Wen Minting suddenly remembered something: "Mom and Dad, now that everyone is going to the countryside, what about Beidu?"
Speaking of this, Wen's father put down his chopsticks and said, "Your cousin Yue Nan has also been sent to the countryside, to a village near Qingcheng. I was originally thinking of helping her out, but the Wen family told us not to get involved and to pretend we didn't know anything. I don't know what they're up to..."
He shook his head helplessly. The Wen family of Beidu had always been strange.
