The old lady's expression remained unchanged, not taking it seriously at all. "There's no need to trouble your uncle with such a small matter. Let your aunt handle it. Your aunt is the president of the Pingjiang City Chamber of Commerce and has connections with several leaders of the machinery factory."
Ye Qingqing was overjoyed, she hadn't expected Sun Qiuyun to have such a powerful background!
Oh dear, she's latched onto a super powerful figure!
"Auntie is amazing, such a strong woman!" Ye Qingqing praised sincerely. She admired strong women like Sun Qiuyun the most, who were capable in both social settings and domestic life, managing both family and career without neglecting either.
The old lady smiled and nodded in agreement, "Your aunt is quite capable, but our Qing'er is capable too!"
Ye Qingqing chuckled and proudly raised her chin, "Absolutely! My grandma and aunt are both strong women. If I were too timid, wouldn't I be making you look bad?"
The old lady laughed heartily, looking lovingly at the pretty girl in front of her. With this girl around, she could be happy all day long, and even without taking medicine, she felt great!
Now she is even more reluctant to die. She must live well and not let anyone bully this girl, especially Ye Zhiguo and his family of heartless beasts!
A cold glint flashed in the old lady's eyes, but she hid it well, and Ye Qingqing didn't sense it at all.
The major issues that were giving Ye Qingqing a headache were utterly insignificant in the eyes of the old lady and Sun Qiuyun.
On the phone, Sun Qiuyun readily agreed, saying she would personally call the factory manager later, but—
"I need to think about who should fill in for that clerk position. I'll call them once I've decided," Sun Qiuyun said, taking a more thorough approach.
Her idea was to take that spot, so that Ye Lan wouldn't be able to get in, and it wouldn't arouse Ye Zhiguo's suspicion.
Ye Qingqing glanced at Xiao Li but didn't say anything. In fact, she thought that Xiao Li would have a better future working as a clerk in the machinery factory than as a nanny, but if Xiao Li left, the old lady would have no one to take care of her.
However, the old lady had the same idea as her.
"Why don't we let Xiao Li go? Qianjin Machinery Factory is doing quite well, and the benefits are good too. It will be even better once she becomes a full-time employee. It's better than being a nanny."
The old lady had advised Xiao Li several times before that she should either go home and continue her studies or go to work at a company to learn a trade. She said that a young girl like her should not waste her time being a nanny.
Now that such a good opportunity has come up, the old lady thinks it's quite suitable for Xiao Li.
Xiao Li was startled and hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no, I didn't even finish high school, how can I be a clerk? I'll only embarrass you if I go."
The old lady told Sun Qiuyun not to make the call yet, and that she would try to persuade Xiao Li again.
Ye Qingqing and the old lady explained all the benefits of working at the machinery factory, but Xiao Li remained unmoved.
“I know you mean well, but I’m really not suited for it. My mom always says I’m like a monkey’s bottom, I can’t sit still. She wants me to go to the factory and drink tea and read newspapers all day. I’d rather be a nanny!”
Xiao Li, who was quite opinionated, said, "If I work in a machine factory, I can basically see the end of my life. Although I will have no worries about food and clothing and my life will be smooth sailing, I am not willing to accept it. I have finally been born to be a human being, so I have to take a chance. Even if I hit my head and break it, I will not regret it. At least I will not have lived in vain."
If it were just for good food and drink, she could stay at home. Her village is quite well-off, and her parents are carpenters, so they live a comfortable life.
Ye Qingqing was not only impressed, but also filled with respect.
Even the nanny is more successful than her; you really can't judge a book by its cover!
She underestimated Xiao Li!
