Chapter 34: Agree

"Grandma." Gu Lingling whispered something into Grandma Yao’s ear, and Grandma Yao shot her a glance.

This little clever one.

"A permanent position might not be possible," Grandma Yao squinted at Wang Meili, "You know, many people are envious of this job, they’re all eyeing it, and you can’t read."

Can’t read!

Wang Meili cursed inwardly, if she could read, why would she come to you?

But from the sound of it, if a permanent position isn’t possible, does that mean a temporary job is? Wang Meili’s eyes brightened up. Although a temporary job sounds awful and the pay isn’t as high as a permanent one, it’s easier to get a permanent spot. It’s certainly better than working for work points in the village.

As long as she gets in first, she doesn’t believe that with her capabilities she won’t be able to make it permanent.

"Auntie, I know I’m causing you and my uncle trouble." Wang Meili smiled, "Hearing you say this, I understand it’s not easy for someone like me to get a permanent position."

"As long as I can get into the transformer factory, I’m willing to take a temporary job." Wang Meili said nervously, tugging at her clothes.

"You’re willing to take a temporary job?" Gu Chunhai frowned as he looked at Wang Meili, reminding her, "The temporary jobs at the transformer factory aren’t easy."

"Yes, I’m willing." Wang Meili was determined, as long as she could get into the transformer factory.

"Alright, I’ll help you with that," Yao Zhenjiang nodded, "But let me be clear, I can’t guarantee the position, and this is the last time."

"As for how you’ll fare at the transformer factory, that’s none of our concern."

"If you do well, it’s your fortune. If not, you’ll find that our Yao family isn’t easily bullied."

"Gu Chunhai, there won’t be a next time."

The previous words were directed at Wang Meili, but the last sentence was a warning to Gu Chunhai.

"Thank you, Uncle, don’t worry, I’ll work hard and make sure not to bring disgrace to you," Wang Meili said excitedly.

"Your future has nothing to do with us." Yao Zhenjiang said coldly, "By us, I mean the three generations of our Yao family and my granddaughter Gu Lingling."

The meaning couldn’t be clearer.

The smile on Wang Meili’s face froze, and Gu Chunhai felt so ashamed he wanted to find a hole to hide in.

"Well, Uncle and Auntie, you take care, we’ll be heading back now." Wang Meili’s thick skin allowed her to smile as if she didn’t understand Yao Zhenjiang’s meaning, "Lingling, behave yourself here, if you need anything let us know and I’ll get it for you."

After speaking, she signaled to Gu Juan, and the mother and daughter quickly said their goodbyes and left.

Afraid that if they delayed, Yao Zhenjiang might change his mind.

"Oh no..."

Yao Jingsong happened to come back just then, and Gu Juan, hurriedly pulled by Wang Meili, didn’t see and bumped into the door, "Blind..."

Before she could curse, Wang Meili covered her mouth, "Baobao is back, hurry inside."

Only then did Gu Juan see who it was, shivered in fright, and rushed away with Wang Meili.

What are this mother and daughter feeling guilty about?

"Gu Lingling, why were they here? Did you trick grandpa into doing something for them again?" Yao Jingsong asked with a dark face, "I told you their visit isn’t good, and you didn’t believe me."

"Yao Jingsong." Yao Zhenjiang said with a stern face, "Who is Gu Lingling? Apologize to your sister."

"Grandpa, don’t be mad, it’s my stupidity from before." Gu Lingling smiled and said, "Grandpa helped Wang Meili get a temporary job at the transformer factory."

As for whether it’s a good thing? Wang Meili will find out once she starts working!
