Chapter 373: What Bargain?

Liu Yating and Hao Lianlian exchanged a glance without speaking, but they held reservations about Zhao Jingmiao. They decided to observe her behavior further before deciding whether to interact with her.

Zhao Jingmiao smiled without saying anything. She used to dislike Gu Juan, especially when she saw how close Gu Lingling was with her.

At that time, she thought Gu Lingling must be a fool. So whenever she visited the Gu Family, she either helped Gu Chunxia with her younger brother or assisted in the kitchen, avoiding playing with those two.

Zhao Jingmiao couldn’t fully guess Wang Meili’s thoughts, but she could see a bit of it.

She really did treat Gu Juan well.

Unfortunately, back then, Gu Lingling didn’t pay her any attention at all. Her mother wasn’t favored by Old Mrs. Gu either, so to avoid troubling her parents, she didn’t bother with it.

Besides, with Gu Lingling being flattered by Wang Meili and her daughter at that time, even if she had said something, they might not have believed her.

Now seeing Gu Lingling like this, Zhao Jingmiao was genuinely happy for her.

She naturally noticed the expressions of Liu Yating and Hao Lianlian, but she didn’t explain.

Explain for what? Before, she held back because of concerns. From now on, they’d see for themselves, and there was no point in saying too much!

In the meantime, Liu Miao was talking to Gu Juan about the exam situation, "I don’t know what kind of tricks she’s using, but those two people are siding with her."

"Don’t worry, Juanzi, I’ll definitely handle her well. I’ll get back today’s humiliation," Liu Miao said angrily.

"I told you to focus on your exams first. We’ll deal with it once you’re in the transformer factory. She’s not easy to handle, and your little schemes won’t work on her."

"Use your brain more in the future. I don’t want to hear about these little squabbles," Gu Juan said impatiently.

Liu Miao was too naive. Did she really think that by cheating, she could stop Gu Lingling from entering the transformer factory? That’s impossible.

"I just came up with this idea on the spot," Liu Miao said awkwardly after being told off.

Even though she was angry, she still depended on Gu Juan.

Knowing she could take the exam for the transformer factory, her mother was walking proudly in the village. Though she didn’t boast to everyone, her joy was unmistakable.

In recent times, her status at home surpassed even that of her pampered younger brother.

If she offended Gu Juan and couldn’t get into the factory, Liu Miao couldn’t imagine what her family would do to her.

So getting into the transformer factory was a must for her.

"Alright, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have made decisions on my own. From now on, I’ll listen to you, okay?" Liu Miao said in a fawning tone.

"It’s not just about that. Do you even know who those two people are?" Gu Juan said disdainfully, "You don’t know anything and just make decisions blindly. This could ruin my big plans."

"Who are those two people?" Liu Miao asked, curious about the prominent figures at the transformer factory.

"The one setting the exam is the chief engineer of the transformer factory, and the other, if I’m not mistaken, should be Wang Shuosheng," Gu Juan replied.

"Wang Shuosheng? Isn’t he the director of the transformer factory?" Gu Lingling’s grandfather’s apprentice.

No wonder he looked so unpleasant at the time.

Fortunately, Secretary Zheng showed up then; otherwise, she truly would have ruined Gu Juan’s big plans, and getting into the transformer factory would have been an impossibility.

"Who did you think they were?" Gu Juan glared at her, "And this isn’t even the worst part. Do you realize how much of an advantage Gu Lingling got because of you?"

"What advantage?" Liu Miao asked foolishly.

Wasn’t it just being noticed by that person? What’s so impressive about that?
