Chapter 588: Intimidation - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

There haven't been many changes in the courtyard over the years. Except for the eldest and second sons of the Sui family each having a daughter, and Zhang Mengyun giving birth to a daughter prematurely, no one else has any children.

Bai Xing'er and Qin Xianglian were still having a lot of fun, and Lin Shu and Jiang Li were also compared with each other from time to time.

When Lin Qing returned to the yard, everyone in the yard had already received the news.

As soon as she entered the yard, she was surrounded by people and became the most popular person.

"Lin Qing, your department really wants to recruit people, right?"

Lin Qing nodded, "Yes, we will recruit two people. They must have a high school degree or above and have some basic financial knowledge."

After everyone confirmed the news, they were all extremely excited.

"Are there any other conditions? Or is it the same as before, that only those who are family members of the factory can take the exam?"

"I think so? I'm not sure about this." Lin Qing was really not sure about this.

Lin Qing said everything she needed to say, and the others finally let her go.

Lin Qing broke through the siege and returned home. Lin's mother poured her a glass of water and asked, "Nannan, have you told your section chief?"

"Um."

Lin's mother was both happy and a little worried about her daughter's transfer to the research institute. She was happy that her daughter could do something she liked, but she was also worried that it would be too tiring.

"Mom! Don't worry, I'm in good health now, and I can definitely handle those jobs." Lin Qing knew what her mother was worried about.

"Okay!"

…

The time for this recruitment is very urgent, just two days later.

Lin Qing herself didn't expect that she would be involved in this.

The family of three were chatting after dinner and bathing when they saw Aunt Gu, who had always been indifferent to them, coming to the door with a basket and Jiang Li.

Lin Qing's family of three were all a little confused by this situation. Lin's mother stood up and asked, "Auntie Gu, what are you doing?"

"Haha!" Aunt Gu laughed awkwardly twice, "That..."

Aunt Gu couldn't speak clearly. To be honest, she really didn't want to say it. There had been constant minor frictions between their families over the years, and they had rarely been on good terms with each other. Now if she was asked to ask for help, she would feel embarrassed.

Lin Qing found it a little strange, it was really rare.

Jiang Li saw that Aunt Gu and her mother-in-law didn't know how to start the conversation. She was almost dying of anxiety, so she stepped forward and said, "Aunt Lin, we are here to ask for a favor."

Mother Lin took a step back in fear.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Li looked at Lin Qing with her eyes wide open. Lin Qing was a little confused. No, why was she looking at her?

"Are you looking for me?" Although Lin Qing's question was a question, it contained a hint of certainty.

"Yes! I would like to ask you to help me with tutoring. If I pass the exam, we will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Ah? Let me tutor you?" Lin Qing was unwilling. During the years she had lived in the courtyard, she already knew what kind of person the other person was. It would be good if she could pass the exam, but if not, she would probably be blamed to death.

Lin Qing quickly made an excuse to decline. "I'm a bit busy in the next period of time, so I don't have much free time. Besides, most of the questions in the finance exam are about abacus calculations and some financial knowledge. You can just buy a book on the basics of finance to learn about these financial knowledge. The exam won't be too strict in this aspect. You still need to pass the calculations."

Jiang Li's face looked a little unhappy. She felt that even though she had been so humble, Lin Qing still rejected her so ruthlessly. He was really ungrateful.

After Jiang Li stood up, Aunt Gu stepped aside. She didn't have the face to speak anyway. When Jiang Li said it herself, she was relieved!

She didn't want to come at first, but her son insisted that she come, saying it was more serious and difficult to refuse.

In her opinion, that was shit. If the mother and daughter of the Lin family were really that easy to talk to, they wouldn't be the bullies of the compound on par with them.

Lin's mother also agreed, "Yes, my daughter has been very busy recently, how can she have the free time? Don't look at her chatting here now, she will be busy in the study soon."

Lin Qing nodded. She was indeed very busy and had to go back to the study to read later. However, the most important thing was that she didn't want to get involved.

Since they said so, Aunt Gu felt embarrassed to stay any longer, "Okay! Since they are busy, let's go!"

Jiang Li had a reluctant look on her face. She knew that Lin Qing was very capable and had a great reputation with the head of the Finance Department. She wanted Lin Qing to try his best to coach her and hope that she could pass the exam in one try. She didn't expect Lin Qing to be so ungrateful.

"They've already said they don't want to leave, why are you still not leaving?" Aunt Gu walked out of the main room and found that the person behind her had not caught up with her, so she turned around and said something.

Jiang Li clenched her fists, still unwilling to give up, and bent her legs slightly, wanting to kneel down to her.

Damn it!

Frightened, Lin Qing quickly jumped up from the stool and hid aside. Lin's mother was also quick to catch him.

"What are you doing, girl? Are you trying to force me?" Lin's mother's voice was sharp and high.

Aunt Gu was also shocked by her series of actions. Damn, isn’t this embarrassing enough?

She even knelt down in front of others. She has lost all her face.

Aunt Gu looked extremely unhappy.

Especially the other families in the front yard, who now all came out to watch the excitement, and Aunt Gu's face became even uglier.

She looked annoyed, "Why don't you go back quickly!"

Jiang Li didn't expect that her strength was not as good as her mother's. She couldn't break free from Lin's mother's control, and her plan came to nothing.

Seeing so many people around, Lin's mother took the opportunity to speak up, "Xiao Jiang! My daughter really doesn't have the free time. Even if you kneel down, she won't be free. If you really want someone to tutor you, go find someone else! I remember that night school has teachers who specialize in accounting. They must be more professional. Why don't you go find them?"

Everyone looked meaningful, and they immediately understood Jiang Li's plan. Wasn't it just a plan to intimidate her?

What a good plan!

Who among them didn't know that Lin Qing was a capable person in the Finance Department? With her guidance, wouldn't it be easy to pass the exam?

Wow, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Gu family are really fast!

Facing the stares of others, Jiang Li's face turned pale and blue.

Aunt Gu couldn't stand all the stares anymore, so she just left Jiang Li behind and left.

Jiang Li was too embarrassed to stay any longer. Mother Lin didn't feel the force pulling her down, so she let go of her hand. Jiang Li took the opportunity to turn around and leave.

When they left, the others also went back to their homes.

"Phew~ Fortunately, you reacted quickly, otherwise she would have knelt down in front of me. I was almost scared to death."

"Hmph! She's actually trying to intimidate me. How capable she is." Mother Lin hated people like this the most.

"Her coming this time can be regarded as a warning to others. I guess no one will come to me again in the future." Lin Qing thought so.

"We won't help any of them. If we help this one and not that one, there will definitely be talk about us in the future. We won't get involved in such things." Lin's father also said.

Lin Qing nodded in agreement, "Yeah."
