Lin Miaomiao was taken aback for a moment. Seeing it was Liu Hang, she rolled her eyes inwardly.
What rotten luck!
“What I wear is none of your damn business. Who do you think you are, trying to control me?” Lin Miaomiao sneered.
“You!” Liu Hang’s face turned pale with anger. “Of course it’s my business! You’re going to marry me in the future! Dressing so indecently, have you no shame at all?”
“What?” Lin Miaomiao thought she had misheard and dug at her ear. “Are you out of your mind?”
Liu Hang snorted coldly. “Hmph, if it weren’t for my sister persuading me, do you think I’d even look at you? I used to be a teacher, and I’m a high school student now with a bright future. You’re simply not worthy of me!”
“My sister sent me all the way here just to help us develop feelings for each other!”
Lin Miaomiao could hardly believe her ears. Liu Huihui had sent her brother over to develop feelings with her.
What a load of crap!
Lin Miaomiao wished she could spit right in his face. “Keys are a dime a dozen—ten for a dollar. Do you think you’re worth even that?”
“Lin Miaomiao!” Liu Hang’s face turned livid. “Don’t you dare disrespect me! Your eldest brother and sister-in-law entrusted you to me so I could discipline you!”
“Come back with me!”
He wanted to reach out and grab Lin Miaomiao, but remembering how she had reported him to the police last time, he withdrew his hand and simply glared at her fiercely.
“Miaomiao, who is this?” Yu Meijing came out after changing her clothes and, seeing a man staring at Lin Miaomiao, asked in confusion.
Lin Miaomiao wore an expression as if she had stepped in dog poop. She glared coldly at Liu Hang. “Get lost, or I’ll call the police!”
Liu Hang glared back at her, his voice dark and threatening. “You just wait.”
Though his words were harsh, he ran away faster than anyone.
“What the hell? What kind of trash is he, daring to threaten you? Who does he think he is?” Yu Meijing cursed angrily.
Running into this guy was even more disgusting than swallowing a fly. Thinking about the things Liu Hang had said and how Liu Huihui actually had such intentions, Lin Miaomiao finally understood why Liu Hang had stared at her like that when she moved out.
Well, she had originally thought Liu Huihui simply wanted to force her out, and Lin Miaomiao had let it go.
But she never expected such a disgusting scheme.
Lin Miaomiao had had enough!
Thinking about this, Lin Miaomiao lost all interest in shopping.
She briefly explained the situation to Yu Meijing, who exploded after hearing it. “What kind of bullshit is this? That guy looks like a piece of stinking dog poop, and he actually wants to marry you?”
“No wonder you moved out so suddenly. It was because of him.”
“That’s so disgusting. And he calls himself a high school student? I’m a college student!”
“This is absolutely outrageous!”
After some thought, Lin Miaomiao went home and wrote letters, sending them out separately.
Because of this incident, Yu Meijing lost her appetite and left after eating only two bowls of rice.
Before leaving, she stuffed a few notebooks into Lin Miaomiao’s hands.
Lin Miaomiao opened them and saw they were all filled with key knowledge points Yu Meijing had summarized, likely written over a long period.
Her eyes grew warm with emotion.
For this alone, she couldn’t let Yu Meijing down.
…
“What? You ran into Lin Miaomiao? You didn’t say anything, did you?” Liu Huihui tensed up immediately when her brother mentioned Lin Miaomiao.
She was afraid her brother might impulsively provoke Lin Miaomiao and get reported again.
“Of course I didn’t say anything. Hmph, that shameless woman! She dresses so provocatively outside. If it weren’t for her pretty face, I wouldn’t even look at her!”
“Sis, didn’t you say she’d agree to marry me? Now she’s moved out, how am I supposed to build a relationship with her?”
“We need to get her back quickly, otherwise how can I discipline her?”
“A disobedient woman deserves a beating! Once we’re married, I’ll show that slut how it’s done!”
Thinking about how Lin Miaomiao looked in her dress today, although furious, he had to admit she was truly stunning. In his twenty-five years, he’d never seen such a beautiful woman—even big celebrities couldn’t compare.
What a shame there was also a child.
If it were just a girl, fine—she could be married off later for some bride price.
But it was a son.
Liu Hang’s eyes turned cold at the thought of the child.
“Don’t worry, your brother-in-law will definitely persuade her to come back. She listens to her eldest brother the most…”
“Don’t go too far either. Once you’re married, everything will be fine. For now, just coax her along. How could she not want to be with you? You’re the most educated man in our village!”
“If it weren’t for her becoming some accountant, earning about fifty yuan a month, I wouldn’t have introduced her to you.”
Liu Hang snorted coldly. “At least she has some ability.”
“Once we’re married, I’ll definitely control the money tightly—won’t let her spend an extra cent!”
…
“Miaomiao, here’s the form for this assessment. Fill it out and submit it. There are many applicants this time, but we only need two accountants. Be prepared.”
“Submit it before you leave work. I have to go out this afternoon, and today’s the deadline.”
The manager brought the form for Lin Miaomiao to fill out her information. Although she was a long-time employee at the factory, she had indeed started working without going through an interview or assessment.
The manager thought it was fine, but the new factory director’s regulations were in place, and there was nothing she could do.
Lin Miaomiao acknowledged and, after filling out the form, went to look for the manager but couldn’t find her.
A colleague reminded her, “The manager went out for a meeting. She said the factory director called a meeting and is taking the leaders to inspect and learn from other factories. She told you to fill it out quickly and go find her there.”
Lin Miaomiao: “…”
She rushed out with her completed personal information and found she wasn’t the only one at the door. Several other employees were also standing there, holding their forms and looking at each other in confusion.
This wasn’t just targeting her—people from other departments were affected too. Many had been promoted without interviews, and some had even gotten in entirely through connections but didn’t want to leave.
If they didn’t want to leave, fine—they could participate in this interview. If they passed, they could stay.
These people were in the same boat as her.
Lin Miaomiao felt a subtle sense of balance.
“The managers have been called to a meeting by the factory director. Wait outside for a bit,” the factory director’s new assistant said.
No one dared to speak, only nodding in response.
Lin Miaomiao stood with the others as the surroundings fell quiet again. She reviewed the information she’d filled out while patiently waiting for the manager to emerge. The others did the same.
So when someone entered, everyone looked over, accompanied by a clear, crisp female voice. “Is Director Lu here?”
Lin Miaomiao looked up and saw a young woman dressed very elegantly, with an exceptional presence. She bore a striking resemblance to the child Lu Yanzhou had been holding that day. Lin Miaomiao was startled.
Could this be the female lead?
Although she had awakened and knew the events from the novel, her impression of the female lead was entirely based on descriptions—she only knew that she was very beautiful, cultured, skilled in singing, dancing, and painting, and was a female lead with a strong artistic aura.
Speaking of which, Lin Miaomiao could also paint, and she was quite good at it. She and the female lead seemed to share a subtle resemblance.
The assistant seemed somewhat surprised to see her and replied, “Comrade Lin, are you here to see the factory director too? But the director is currently in a meeting.”
“Oh, then go tell him I’m here.” Lin Miaoyu’s voice rose, light and playful with a hint of coquettishness. “I’ll wait for him in his office!”
With that, she walked into Lu Yanzhou’s office in her high heels. Lin Miaomiao watched as she sat down in the boss chair where Lu Yanzhou usually sat.
