"What are you talking about?" Chen Yang's tone was very stiff. "He called me about something, and where did you hear that?"
He was already feeling bad about his reputation being ruined online, and when Shi Nianzhi called to ask about it, Chen Yang was furious. "Don't believe everything you hear all the time. I've called so many times, who can remember what I called last October?"
Shi Nianzhi took a deep breath and pressed the record button. "Dad, I'm not calling you to question you. Some netizens have already speculated about this conspiracy theory. I am now the company's signboard. The company said they will help me run the business, but I need to know the truth of the matter."
"Your company..." Chen Yang seemed hesitant.
"Our company is located in Jincheng. Jincheng is a big city and considered a powerful company in the industry. That's why I called you. If my second uncle really called you, tell me everything you said so I can talk to my agent about how to control public opinion. It's hard for me to see you being scolded online every day."
The agent drove over and stopped next to Shi Nianzhi in a blink of an eye.
Shi Nianzhi gestured to her, indicating that she should wait a moment.
Chen Yang didn't think much of what Shi Nianzhi said. "Oh, that Qin Changping is crazy. He sends me text messages and WeChat messages all day long to scold me. I gave him money. The last payment was transferred to him at the beginning of last year. But in October, he called me again and said that 80,000 yuan was not enough. I supported you for fifteen years. I got angry and said he was the most incompetent. He couldn't even protect his wife. His wife was pissed to death. Now he is like a dog, biting whoever he catches. Be careful, he will be pissed to death too."
"Who knew he'd actually die? When you're arguing, you're bound to say anything. It's not my fault, right? Nianzhi, you should just get your company to sort out these online issues. If you keep on swearing..."
Chen Yang was also very annoyed. If he continued to curse like this, his position would be demoted.
There are results, but the punishment within the system is sometimes not made explicit. In order to avoid being scolded, the superiors say it is a lateral transfer, and the person may be transferred to a more backward place with lower wages. It seems that the rank is still the same, but there are too many differences between "Beijing officials" and "local officials".
Chen Yang was still cursing on the phone, but Shi Nianzhi could no longer bear it.
Her head was buzzing, and her agent, noticing that she was not in good condition, quickly came down and helped her into the car.
The recording has been saved. Shi Nianzhi's face was pale. She didn't know whether to send this recording to Qin Yuhuan.
Posted...
Will Qin Yuhuan forgive her, or hate her even more?
"Nianzhi, I think you should stop provoking Qin Yuhuan. Your family is in this situation..." The agent was speechless.
I thought I had found a cash cow, and I thought I could indirectly rely on the big tree of Ziyi through Qin Yuhuan, but who knew that Shi Nianzhi's parents were like this.
"Sister Sun, you also think... my family is hopeless, right?" Shi Nianzhi stared at him with a hawk-like gaze, sending chills down the agent's spine.
She was surprised when she received Fang Jinyao's call, but after thinking about it, she realized that the other person was not concerned about their old friendship, but just didn't want to get into trouble.
"Nianzhi, your life is your own. You have no say in what your parents think. Just work hard. If you feel bad, then..."
"More compensation? How?" Shi Nianzhi buried her face in her knees, tears streaming through her fingers. "The person I should compensate the most is dead. They're all dead. Why weren't my parents the ones to die? My sister must hate me to death. We've been close since we were young. When she came home from college, she would pick me up from school, hold my hand, and take me to buy food."
"If I couldn't do my homework, she would teach me step by step. She was a good student. When I was in junior high school, the teachers heard that I was her younger sister and they all favored me. We...we slept in the same bed since we were young. She would hold me and sing to me, and teach me how to draw. My classmates all envied me for having a sister who was so good at studying and so beautiful...why...why did it turn out like this?"
Shi Nianzhi once thought that she and her sister would always be the best of sisters, even though they were not related by blood.
When I was young, when I went to my mother's store, the adults would say that adopted children would probably need to look for their biological parents when they grew up, and they would want them to be taken back.
"I always quarrel with those aunts, saying that I will always have only one pair of parents and only one sister."
The agent listened to Shi Nianzhi talking about all the happy times of their family in the past. She patted Shi Nianzhi on the back and sighed.
"Then may I ask why you went to the police station and reported your father as a human trafficker?"
"My dad was already crazy at that time," Shi Nianzhi cried even harder. "He was thinking about revenge all day long and wanted to transfer me to another school. You... you don't know the pain of living under the same roof with the two of them. Without Mom to take care of me, the place they lived in was worse than a garbage dump. The stench was everywhere. The two men did nothing at home but lay around. The house was piled high with stuff. I was so scared. I was afraid that my sister wouldn't keep her promise and leave me alone to take care of Dad and brother. I was also afraid... Dad wouldn't listen to my sister."
There were too many things. Fifteen-year-old Shi Nianzhi was afraid of her future life living with her father and brother. She went from being a little princess with her own clean bedroom to having to sleep on a simple sofa in the living room, with no convenience in anything.
As soon as her brother woke up, he would go to the living room to watch TV, completely ignoring the fact that she was there.
Such a life is like a dark hell.
