But……
"What did you say?!" Liu Xiangqian looked at Wu Xiuyue in disbelief. His hope was shattered, and he couldn't maintain his facade for a moment. His voice cracked.
Wu Xiuyue was startled by Liu Xiangqian's appearance. "Brother Xiangqian, please, please don't be angry. I... I just wanted to ask you, is there some misunderstanding between you and Ye Zhiqing?"
Otherwise, why would Ye, the educated youth, deliberately target Liu Xiangqian?
Liu Xiangqian barely suppressed his anger and said with a wry smile, "I did have some minor conflicts with her before, but I didn't take them seriously at the time. Who knew she would still remember them to this day."
Upon hearing Liu Xiangqian say it was a minor conflict, Wu Xiuyue immediately said, "Since it's not a big deal, you can just explain it to Ye Zhiqing. Ye Zhiqing is a very good person."
She thought it was just a small matter, and it would be fine once it was talked about.
Moreover, Ye Zhiqing was not a petty person.
There might still be hope for these worker-peasant-soldier university spots.
Liu Xiangqian cursed Wu Xiuyue as an idiot in his heart, but the smile on his face became increasingly bitter. "I'm afraid that won't work."
He embellished his account of the conflict with Ye Weiwei, mainly saying that he felt Ye Weiwei was too harsh on her roommates and was undermining unity, which is why he said a few extra words.
Upon hearing that this matter was related to Li Jing, Wu Xiuyue's face showed a hint of sudden realization.
"It's no wonder Ye Zhiqing was angry. That Li Jing was malicious and almost harmed Ye Zhiqing and her family."
Liu Xiangqian: ...
This woman is incredibly stupid!
Is that what he meant?
They completely miss the point.
Wu Xiuyue looked troubled: "This is really difficult."
Li Jing and Ye Zhiqing had a blood feud, and Xiang Qian even spoke up for Li Jing, no wonder Ye Zhiqing disliked her.
It seems this spot is going to fall through.
but……
"Brother Xiangqian, don't worry. Even if you don't get selected this time, you'll have other opportunities in the future. As long as we live our lives well together, I believe everything will be alright."
After Wu Xiuyue finished speaking, her face burned bright red. She was too embarrassed to look at Liu Xiangqian, so she didn't notice the sudden change in Liu Xiangqian's gaze and the sinister look in his eyes.
If it weren't for this woman's father being the village accountant and having influence, and if it weren't for the fact that she was somewhat useful, why would Liu Xiangqian be willing to fawn over such an ordinary country girl?
Thinking about how all the effort he had put into this woman these past few days had gone to waste, Liu Xiangqian felt extremely frustrated.
However, he managed to suppress his anger and didn't lash out on the spot. Instead, he forced a smile and said, "I have something to do, so I'll head back now."
After saying that, Liu Xiangqian walked away.
Wu Xiuyue stared at Liu Xiangqian's retreating figure for a long time before she came to her senses, turned around, and went home.
Aunt Lü went out and inquired around, and indeed brought back a lot of useful information.
This Daqingshan Village is such a small place. Although the educated youth lived in the educated youth settlement and were not with them, they could still find out quite a lot if they wanted to.
When the family had dinner that evening, Accountant Wu said directly, "You should stay away from Liu Xiangqian from now on."
Wu Xiuyue suddenly looked up at her father, bewildered. "Dad, what's wrong?"
Aunt Lü looked at her daughter: "Listen to your father. Would your father and I harm you? I went out to inquire today, and that Liu Xiangqian is really not a good person. The educated youth who live with him are not very sociable. Don't be fooled by his sweet words."
I think he only approached you because he wanted that worker-peasant-soldier student spot.
It wasn't that she was trying to undermine her own people; it was just that her daughter wasn't particularly attractive and was overly shy and timid. If it weren't for her father being an accountant, Liu Xiangqian probably wouldn't have been able to find her.
After all, those educated youth from the city had very high standards and rarely looked up to them, the rural people.
Upon calming down and thinking about it, it's not hard to guess what Liu Xiangqian was thinking.
She and the old man had been too optimistic and blinded by their own ideas.
Fortunately, Ye Zhiqing woke me up; otherwise, I would have really fallen into someone else's trap.
Wu Xiuyue lowered her head and remained silent.
She recalled the image of Liu Xiangqian turning and leaving after learning that the spot was gone, and felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
When Liu Xiangqian returned to the educated youth settlement, he saw Hou Zheng and Wu Yue chatting and laughing. The two of them clearly saw him come in, but they didn't even greet him, which made Liu Xiangqian even angrier.
His speech became even more sarcastic and unpleasant.
"What is our leader Hou talking about? Come, come, let me listen and receive some of his teachings."
Hou Zheng glanced at Liu Xiangqian, then continued talking to Wu Yue and the other man.
The truth is, Liu Xiangqian has been having these crazy tantrums lately, and the people at the educated youth settlement have gotten used to it and just ignore him, treating him like a lunatic.
However, the more Hou Zheng ignored Liu Xiangqian, the more shameless Liu Xiangqian became in his sights.
His words became increasingly harsh.
Finally, even Wu Yue couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but say, "Xiangqian, where did you come from to have such a bad time? Go find whoever upset you, don't take it out on us."
Hou Zheng scoffed, "Where else could he have found her? Judging from his respectable appearance today, he probably went to meet someone he had planned to meet. It's obvious he didn't get any advantage."
Liu Xiangqian squinted and looked coldly at Hou Zheng: "Hou, stop talking nonsense!"
Hou Zheng wasn't afraid of him. "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know in your heart! Do you really think everyone else is a fool and you're the only smart one? Do you think you can fool people with your little tricks? Don't you know your own limitations!"
Liu Xiangqian slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Hou Zheng! I've put up with you for too long! Don't think you're so great just because you've become a person in charge. You're still just Ye Weiwei's lackey!"
Hou Zheng slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "Perfect timing! I've put up with you for too long! Always being sarcastic and sarcastic, do you think we all owe you something? Are you out of your mind!"
Enraged, Liu Xiangqian punched Hou Zheng.
Hou Zheng was no pushover either. He blocked the attack with his hand, then took the opportunity to kick Liu Xiangqian in the stomach, creating distance between them, and then began his counterattack.
Although Liu Xiangqian was strong and healthy, he was far inferior to Hou Zheng, who had grown up in the compound since childhood and had been practicing horse stance since he was five or six years old. He was quickly beaten by Hou Zheng and had no chance to fight back, and could only barely protect his head.
Wu Yue never expected the two to start fighting so suddenly, so he quickly separated them.
