As it turned out, the domestic records about Lin Congzhi were roughly the same as what she knew.
Unwilling to give up, she climbed over the wall and continued her search.
There are even fewer, if any, records about Lin Congzhi abroad.
Now she was completely baffled.
"Yiyi, what should we do? Are you still going to look for a job?"
Without hesitation, Jiang Yimei answered without a doubt: "Of course we should look for them. Can spilled water be taken back?"
Yao Yao frowned, her face full of worry, and asked, "But what if you don't find a satisfactory job?"
Without a second thought, Jiang Yimei blurted out firmly, "Then I'll do hard labor."
Yao Yao didn't believe her at all and asked seriously, "Is that really what you think?"
After repeated questioning, Jiang Yimei's high spirits subsided, and she was unsure of what to do. She could only stubbornly and bravely say, "In short, I will never bow down to the 'evil forces'."
In her mind, Lin Congzhi had become an out-and-out "gangster force" that she had to stay far away from.
Yao Yao had no choice but to pray that Yi Yi could break free from the "curse" of rejection as soon as possible.
…
In the days that followed, Jiang Yimei continued to look for work, but she was repeatedly turned down, and no company wanted her.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and even though she ran herself ragged and sweated buckets, she still hadn't found a satisfactory job.
Just as she was exhausted and about to give up and take on a hard job, a phone call came in.
The call was from her mother. A call on a weekday is never a good thing, and she was already mentally prepared.
She swiped to answer the call, and just as she had guessed, it was someone demanding money.
"Yimei! My darling! Please come and save your old mother!"
She immediately starts by feigning grievance and helplessness, playing the emotional card. Jiang Yimei has used this tactic countless times.
After all, she was her own mother. Taking a deep breath, she asked in a gentle tone, "Mom! What's wrong now?"
"I...I've been scammed!"
On the other end of the phone, the person choked up as they spoke, seemingly about to burst into tears.
Jiang Yimei had already guessed that she had been scammed, and she was extremely frustrated: "Who scammed you this time?"
Her mother is incredibly shrewd at taking advantage of her, but when it comes to other people, she's the one who gets taken advantage of.
"I...I was scammed by the bank's financial advisor!"
Jiang's mother continued to sob, her voice filled with deep sorrow and despair.
Upon hearing the words "financial management," Jiang Yimei roughly understood the situation.
She initially wanted to angrily berate him, but after thinking about it, she wondered if he truly had his reasons. So she patiently asked, "How did he lie to you?"
“A few weeks ago, I went to the bank to deposit money and saw a place that was very lively, so I went over and found that the group of people were investing in a financial product.”
"That financial manager was a well-known financial expert in this area. The crowd surrounding him made a fortune from him, some earning tens or hundreds, others tens of thousands. Seeing how easily they profited, I had a crooked idea and invested my money..."
As she spoke, the person on the other end of the phone seemed afraid to continue, as if they were worried that the person answering the phone would launch into a tirade of abuse.
Jiang Yimei certainly wanted to scold her, because her mother hadn't told her a thing about this from beginning to end, and only pitifully begged her for help afterwards.
Knowing only half the story, she was eager to know just how much her mother had lost, so she pressed on in a chilling tone, "And then?"
