After giving the things to Tiedan early this morning, Zhou Lian felt restless at home.
She knew that after this experience, there was no turning back.
She couldn't believe she had done such a thing.
"Comrade Zhou Lian, I know you really want to work in the textile factory, but I regret to say that you didn't pass the exam after looking at the list."
Since their last meeting, the two hadn't actually met alone for quite some time. Wei Lan felt that Zhou Lian had no use for her and didn't want to waste her time.
But now she feels that this person is still useful.
"How is that possible? I..."
Zhou Lian was completely stunned. Although she was unsure whether she could pass the exam, she still couldn't believe it when Wei Lan told her the result.
Why didn't she pass the exam? She studied so hard.
Aside from eating and drinking, Zhou Lian spent most of her time with the basic textbooks from the literacy class, and she also spent all her time in the class during the day.
Even the teachers in the literacy class were impressed by her.
Not to brag, but there aren't many people who can reach her level.
But she didn't pass the exam? She still didn't pass? Zhou Lian refused to believe it.
Wei Lan knew she couldn't accept it, so she kindly comforted her.
"Comrade Zhou Lian, don't be too discouraged. There will be other opportunities in the future."
Zhou Lian's eyes were red. She knew that this opportunity was extremely rare. Who knew when the next recruitment would be? Every year, family members would come, and would it be her turn again?
If Wei Lan wanted to, she was very good at exploiting people's psychological weaknesses.
"I'm also very sorry. I had high hopes for you, but I didn't expect you to fall just a few places short."
Wei Lan expressed her deep regret, as if Zhou Lian was the confidante she had chosen.
"Director Wei, you know my family situation. My eldest son will be of marriageable age in a few years, but we also had a younger son who is in poor health."
The doctor told us to feed him formula properly, and he'll probably need medication later, which the man of the house can't possibly support on his salary alone.
Zhou Lian became more and more heartbroken as she spoke, saying that the pressure on her family was too great, and she hadn't bought meat in so long.
She cried so bitterly that Wei Lan seemed to be moved as well, and her eyes also reddened.
"I know your family's situation. There are ways out, but..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Lian, as if seizing an opportunity, immediately grabbed Wei Lan's sleeve and begged her.
"Really? Director Wei, please help me?"
Wei Lan hesitated for a long time, and Zhou Lian could only keep pleading with her. Finally, she sighed, as if she had finally made up her mind.
“I know a way to get you in, but it’s not easy. I don’t know if you’re willing to take that risk for your job.”
Zhou Lian was willing, of course; she was willing to do anything as long as she could get a job at the textile factory.
"You know that admission is based on the scores of the test papers. You were just a few points short. Just take out your test paper, change it, and raise your score."
Zhou Lian paused, even though she desperately wanted to get into the textile factory, she knew this method was too dangerous.
If caught, not only will he lose his job, but he might lose his job altogether.
Seeing her hesitation, Wei Lan expressed her understanding.
"It's all my fault for giving such an unreliable idea. Don't take it to heart. It's your business, you make the decision yourself. After all, it has nothing to do with me."
She seemed to regret her offhand remark and tried to leave after explaining herself.
After hesitating for a few moments, Zhou Lian quickly stopped her.
"Director Wei..."
