When Zhou Xiongxiong fell to the ground, Zhou Yingjie couldn’t help but feel distressed.
“Hey! 1 The original text used the word “Huān 歡” – happy. But I changed it to “Hey” instead because the author used this word multiple times in the next chapters but the context doesn’t have any connection with the word happy, but more like calling someone out. Who are you? Why do you meddle in my family’s affairs?” He immediately stepped forward and argued with Yan Wei.
Yan Wei was taken aback and looked at him, asking, “Your family’s affairs?”
Yan Wei had a thought in his mind. He turned to Zhou Qiaoqiao and asked, “Who is he?”
“My father,” Zhou Qiaoqiao replied succinctly.
At this point, Zhou Xiongxiong was supported by Zhou Yingjie and stood up. He looked at Yan Wei, his legs still trembling. Yan Wei’s momentum just now was extraordinary! Even his gaze could scare people to death!
Yan Wei first glanced silently at the two people in front of him, then said loudly, “Even if he is your father, he shouldn’t hit you.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao explained, “The one who hit me is my younger brother.”

“What money?” Yan Wei’s frown deepened. If Zhou Qiaoqiao’s uncle lent her 18,000 yuan, she would make sure to repay the full amount. If her own father lent her money, how could she not repay it? Yan Wei still had great trust in Zhou Qiaoqiao’s character, and besides, Zhou Qiaoqiao’s past hardships reflected Zhou Yingjie’s despicable character.
Zhou Yingjie repeated what he had said to Zhou Qiaoqiao earlier. Only then did Yan Wei understand what the debt was about. It was a debt of gratitude! He sneered and said, “Repay the money? It’s already good enough that I didn’t make Zhou Xiongxiong compensate my girlfriend. How dare he come and ask for money?”
Zhou Yingjie was bewildered. “Compensate?”
“The fact that he deceived Qiaoqiao. The whole process, do you think Zhou Xiongxiong bears no responsibility? You better leave now, or I’ll call the police,” Yan Wei chuckled and took out his phone, counter-questioning, “Don’t tell me you think you’re innocent because you’re family members?”
Zhou Yingjie turned to Zhou Xiongxiong and whispered, “Will we really get arrested?”
Zhou Xiongxiong was unsure, but he didn’t want to go to jail, so he urged, “Yes, really. Dad, just repay the money, and it will be over.”
Saying that, the two of them supported each other and fled.
After they had both left, Zhou Qiaoqiao turned to Yan Wei and asked, “Why did you come?”
Yan Wei furrowed his brows and said, “I wanted to discuss our date tomorrow, but you didn’t answer the phone. I got worried and came back.”
Tears of gratitude welled up in Zhou Qiaoqiao’s eyes as she said, “No one else cares about me as much as you do. Thank you, Yan Wei.”
Yan Wei looked at her petite figure, not the brightest or most eloquent person, but still somewhat clever. However, none of that compared to her tearful expression at this moment. He raised his hand and wiped away her tears, saying, “Don’t cry. From now on, follow me, and I won’t let them bully you.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao nodded, and seeing her like that, Yan Wei felt a bit at a loss. Then he heard Zhou Qiaoqiao say, “Well, if your family members bully you in the future, I’ll protect you too.”
Yan Wei was taken aback, his mouth twitched. But then he suddenly looked up and laughed out loud, then he embraced her with both arms and said, “Thank you.”
Mao Liang stood in the distance, smoking a cigarette, gazing absentmindedly at the overlapping figures under the afternoon sun. The cigarette burned to the end, he threw the butt into the nearby trash can, turned around and got into the car. His phone vibrated.
It was Liang Jiamin, she sent a message asking if Mao Liang was free tomorrow. Mao Liang glanced at the two people in the distance and for some reason, he felt a hint of envy in his heart. Finally, he replied to her message saying, “Hmm, I’m free. The boss has a date tomorrow, so I got a day off.”
After Yan Wei left, Zhou Qiaoqiao happily went home.
First, she took a nap, and then she ordered takeout. Yes, she was now a little rich woman, and ordering takeout was something she could do too.
While it was still on its way, she took a shower, and when she came out, the hot takeout had arrived. Then, she happily lay on her bed, holding her phone, scrolling through Weibo.
Just as she was happily scrolling, she received a call from an unknown number.
Zhou Qiaoqiao was puzzled, but she didn’t ponder it for too long. In this technological age, there were plenty of telemarketing calls. She had just browsed some property listings on the internet a couple of days ago, and since then she had been receiving calls from real estate agents.
“Hello?” Zhou Qiaoqiao greeted as she answered the call.
“Zhou Qiaoqiao?” the voice on the other end asked in response.
Zhou Qiaoqiao furrowed her brow, not entirely sure, and asked, “Ruan Xiaojiao?”
“It’s me. I need to talk to you,” Ruan Xiaojiao spoke with an air of entitlement.
Zhou Qiaoqiao sighed and said, “Ah, why are you looking for me? What do you want? Are you still asking me to work for your place?” After speaking, Zhou Qiaoqiao burst into laughter herself, “Hahaha…”
Ruan Xiaojiao lay on her princess bed, the round pink mosquito net hanging on both sides. She heard Zhou Qiaoqiao’s laughter, and veins bulged on her forehead. But thinking of what the director had said, she still took a deep breath and said, “Look at what you’re saying. I’m not willing to use you. Isn’t there another interviewer who took a liking to you?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao furrowed her brow. Indeed, there were several interviewers in that room, and there was indeed one person who spoke to her in a particularly gentle manner.
Ruan Xiaojiao looked at her newly done nails and said, “Hey 4 the author used “Huan” again. I asked my Chinese friend in Zhuhai and in Hong Kong, but they also didn’t know the origin of the “Huan” here , you have to think it through. Zhongtai is one of the top companies in the country right now. I overheard about your job. They’re offering you a salary of 5,600 yuan, weekends off, and holidays off. Working hours are from 9 to 5, with some reimbursement for transportation and accommodation expenses. Where else can you find such a good job?”
The more Zhou Qiaoqiao listened, the more absurd it sounded, and she said, “Are you lying to me?”
Ruan Xiaojiao had deceived her before, and she always fell for it. So, were these really the conditions set specifically for Zhou Qiaoqiao? Something seemed fishy!
Ruan Xiaojiao almost spat out blood, but she held it back with great effort and said, “Why would I lie to you?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao immediately retorted, “How would I know why you would lie to me? You already deceived me back in college…”
You’re so naive. If I don’t deceive you, who else will I deceive?
“That was just playing around with you!” Ruan Xiaojiao could only say that, as now the company had given her a task to bring Zhou Qiaoqiao into the company.
Yes, bring her into the company, specifically to the accounting department of Zhongtai.
Zhou Qiaoqiao immediately exclaimed, “So you’re playing around with me this time too? Oh, sorry! Mommy is not interested!” After speaking, she hung up the phone.
Ruan Xiaojiao: “…”. What did that woman just say? Mommy?
That shameless woman!!! F^ck f^ck f^ck…
Ruan Xiaojiao opened WeChat and entered a group chat with the managers, saying, “She’s so vulgar, so so vulgar.”
Zhang Jie: Don’t say she’s vulgar. Even if she picks her nose in front of you, you still have to bring her in.
Manager He: You can kneel down if it means getting her in.
General Manager Lin: This project is worth 13.4 billion yuan in total. What do you mean she’s vulgar?
Ruan Xiaojiao tearfully replied, “General Manager Lin, don’t worry. I was just venting. I’ll definitely get her in.”
General Manager Lin looked at the message and felt a bit puzzled. Weren’t they supposed to have a bad relationship? Why are they asking this person to recruit others?
After Ruan Xiaojiao finished speaking, she called Zhou Qiaoqiao again.
Impatiently, Zhou Qiaoqiao answered the call and said, “What’s up, daughter?”
Ruan Xiaojiao’s lower lip was almost bitten to the point of bleeding. She humiliated herself and said, “I want to ask, are you coming to work or not?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao was startled by the sudden question and sat up straight. She didn’t always resort to foul language, and most of the time, if she did, it was just as an exclamation. Today, she was really angry because Ruan Xiaojiao had bullied her in college.
Back in their junior year, Ruan Xiaojiao even posted about her on the campus website weekly, and d@mn it, Zhou Qiaoqiao was insulted.
Insulting her back a little would relieve some of the resentment from back then, but now she actually came rushing to acknowledge her as her mother?
Oh my goodness!!!
And she said she hadn’t fallen into the trap? Hahaha…
Zhou Qiaoqiao shouted into the phone, “Just give up! I won’t be fooled. Hahaha… You’re a fool! Did you think I was so easily deceived? Hmph!”
After speaking, Zhou Qiaoqiao hung up the phone.
Ruan Xiaojiao: “…”
Looking at the disconnected call, Ruan Xiaojiao muttered to herself weakly, “This is why I hate her so much, she’s a fool!”
After half an hour, Zhou Qiaoqiao’s phone rang again. This time it was an older woman, and she spoke politely. She said, “Miss Zhou, hello. I am Zhang Lingling from Zhongtai Limited Company’s accounting department, where you had an interview yesterday. I’m here to inform you that you passed the interview.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao was initially stunned and asked in disbelief, “Really?”
Zhang Lingling had a pleasant voice and said, “Yes, we reviewed your resume. Your academic performance was quite good at the time and well-liked by the teachers in various subjects. Even your class advisor strongly recommended you for graduate school. Also, your work experience is very rich. Being a cashier is a position that tests one’s abilities. In a small company, one person doing all the work is enough to demonstrate your skills and adaptability to various situations. We need someone like you at Zhongtai. Our company welcomes you!”
Zhou Qiaoqiao listened earnestly, her eyes brimming with tears of warmth.
Zhang Lingling breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to say something more when she heard Zhou Qiaoqiao say affectionately, “I never expected that you would go to such shameless lengths to deceive me. But…”
Zhou Qiaoqiao interrupted with determination, “But… I won’t be fooled! Hahaha… 886 5 Chinese slang for goodbye .”
Then, without hesitation, she hung up the phone…
Zhang Lingling: “…”
In the WeChat group:
Zhang Jie: General Manager Lin, are you sure you want her in our company?
General Manager Lin: ????
Zhou Qiaoqiao was in a great mood!
She took out her phone and messaged Liang Jiamin: “Minbao, Ruan Xiaojiao called me just now.”
The mention of Ruan Xiaojiao’s name immediately caught Liang Jiamin’s attention. As soon as she saw Zhou Qiaoqiao’s message, Liang Jiamin immediately called her back and asked, “She called you? Does she have the audacity to call you? Why did she call you?”
So, with a sense of pride, Zhou Qiaoqiao vividly described the whole process to Liang Jiamin, full of excitement and pride.
After listening, Liang Jiamin remained silent for a long time and asked Zhou Qiaoqiao, “Have you ever considered why even if Ruan Xiaojiao deceived you, why would their manager deceive you? What I mean is, can that manager be influenced by that despicable person, Ruan Xiaojiao?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao: “…”

…. I’m dying inside… I’m really dying. So embarrassing.
Ugh, but it’s true I wouldn’t want her to work with them when the reason they just want her atm is nepotism. It doesn’t seem like a good idea to form a good work relationship, but then again, it’s an income when she doesn’t really have any…. urgh. Adulting hard.
