Chapter 606: Chapter 606: Fear of What’s Coming (Monthly ticket 200+ update)

This photograph, it was Shen Liangyin on it.

That time when Shen Liangyin was the factory director, she was playing basketball. Suizi took this shot.

In the picture, Shen Liangyin was full of spirits, her eyes were bright and resolute, her style and demeanor unmatched. She looked exceptionally beautiful.

On the back of the photo, you could see Suizi’s vigorous and beautiful handwriting:

If you live to be what others want you to be, you will never truly be yourself.

The real you is confident, independent, striving, and shining brilliantly.

This sentence made Shen Liangyin cry.

It turned out that the person who truly acknowledged her value as a woman was her competitor, Suizi, the thorn in her side.

She refused to become anyone’s dependent, but worked hard and shone brightly.

She didn’t need recognition from her parents, she didn’t have to listen to those sayings about a woman being worthless. She could break free from the influence of her original family and live a life of her own color.

Besides the photo, there was also a letter in the envelope. To be precise, it was a transfer order.

Shen Liangyin was being transferred from the brewery to H City to serve as the director of the Food Factory. That factory was very large in terms of provincial scale, about twice as large as the combined scale of the Ice Cream Factory where she had previously worked and the present brewery.

To be precise, this was a promotion.

Before leaving, Suizi made use of Fan Huang’s connections and recommended Shen Liangyin.

Shen Liangyin held the transfer order tightly, tears dropping onto the back of her hand.

Chen Hansui, what a worthy opponent.

"When you’re done with your studies and come back, I won’t lose to you... Next time, I’ll beat you fair and square." Shen Liangyin blinked away her tears and straightened her back.

On the train, Suizi was brewing tea. She had bought a sleeping berth; everyone was together, which made it convenient to take care of each other.

It was the children’s first train ride, and they were eagerly looking around in excitement. The in-laws were helping her take care of the children. She took a little leisure from her busy schedule to drink tea and enjoy the scenery outside the window.

"Aren’t you tired of seeing the same black soil for so long?" Yu Jingting squeezed next to her, wrapping his arm around her as they looked out together.

"When people are in their hometown, they always feel tired of the scenery. After leaving home, it doesn’t take long before they start to miss it madly. Eventually, the missing turns into reminiscing, losing oneself in the reminiscences, and the cycle continues."

"Speak human language!"

"The essence of human life is suffering. Once you attain what you want, you feel empty. If you don’t achieve it, you suffer."

"Isn’t this what that Uncle Dumbass said?" Yu Jingting remembered this phrase. Suizi had quoted this in a preparatory essay for his exam.

Liberal arts rely on gradual accumulation, and it’s impossible to prepare for it with a few months of cramming. Therefore, Suizi prepared a few essays for him to memorize before the exam, ensuring that he didn’t lose points.

This trick could fool the examiners, but it was easy to reveal one’s lack of sophistication in everyday conversation, just like now.

"... After graduation, no matter what, don’t mention the name of our alma mater. Our alma mater can’t stand having such a student. That’s Schopenhauer! Uncle Dumbass? I think you’re the ’Dumbass’! I bet the points you lost were because of the weird nicknames you made up!"

"If you find me dumb, I still got accepted. Look how beautiful the admission notice is." Yu Jingting pulled out his admission notice from his pocket.

Suizi was completely speechless.

He actually carries this thing with him?

Before moving, Wang Cuihua brought Yu Jingting back to their hometown and held a big feast.

They bought three pigs, slaughtered two sheep, served a grand array of dishes, and invited their friends and relatives over for a meal (and to show off) without accepting any money.

Yu Jingting, who used to be the local bully kids were afraid of, had become a promising young man. The village chief specifically asked him to share his thoughts on the Broadcasting Station to encourage the young people in the village to work hard, study, and serve the country.

He had entered the Broadcasting Room before, either sneaking in or grabbing the microphone.

The first time he was officially invited, he stared at the microphone for a while, then left a simple message: Eat well, drink well.

This transformation of identity was still a bit sudden for him.

Even someone as eloquent as him could run out of words at times.

Thereafter, it was Suizi who took over the microphone and spoke for five minutes, all about striving for better and seeking higher. Any sentence from her speech could easily be used as a famous quote in an essay.

She also saw him twice, waking up in the middle of the night to foolishly smile at their admission notices, and even to show off in front of their sleeping children.

Suizi pretended not to see all this. Men should have some secrets, right? Everyone has been a little juvenile.

Despite all his achievements, he was still a young man in his twenties, behaving with the vanity typical for his age. It might not necessarily be a bad thing.

"If mum knew, you used Uncle Fan’s connections to arrange work for Shen Liangyin, she would probably lose her mind."

Chen Lijun had brought Shen Liangyin over to toughen up Suizi, and wanted her to learn to be ruthless. Instead, Suizi bonded with Shen Liangyin and even sent her a big parting gift.

Shen Liangyin’s transfer was directly approved by the top, bypassing the city level. Even Shen Liangyin’s father didn’t know about it.

"Promoting the worthy without partiality, if the person I recommended performs well, that also reflects well on Uncle Fan."

"Are you so confident that she can perform well?"

"You’ve seen her work under you. You should also know her capabilities. If that factory is given to her, she can manage it well."

"Uncle Fan really indulges you. If you two secretly arrange things without mum knowing, she’s going to raise hell."

Thinking of her mother’s vitriolic tongue, Suizi’s head started to throb and her confidence dropped by half.

"By the time she knows, we’ll be off to school. She can’t blame us, she can only rant at Uncle Fan. It’s better to let him be the scapegoat...cough... Anyway, Uncle Fan is already used to it."

To outsiders, Fan Huang was quite formidable. However, in the hearts of Suizi and her husband, he was merely a big victim.

The green train was slow and the journey was long.

The scenery outside the window became boring after a while.

After the excitement of exploring the train had worn off, the three kids started to become restless and disobedient.

Suizi and her husband took over looking after the kids from the in-laws, playing with them. Suizi had anticipated this and had brought a lot of snacks and toys to entertain the kids in case they became disgruntled.

While pacifying the kids, there was a voice inside her.

This was the journey her mother had to take every time she came to see her.

Once there, maybe try not to quarrel with her mother so much? Even if she was harsh with her words, it would all pass if she just tolerated it, right?

Looking out at the clouds outside, Suizi felt hopeful about the future. Time seemed calm and peaceful.

However, this tranquility was broken as soon as they reached the station.

Suizi had assumed she would see her mother as soon as they disembarked, but only her younger uncle, Chen Ziyao, and Fan Huang’s driver were there.

"Your mom is pretty busy with work, I’ll take you guys to your new home." Chen Ziyao smiled awkwardly.

"Uncle, you’re really bad at lying. She’s probably just afraid of the sun making her skin dark, isn’t she?" Suizi’s imagined motherly love ruthlessly vanished during the journey.

Chen Ziyao’s laughter became even more awkward.

He really was not good at lying.

He honestly didn’t understand what was going on in Chen Lijun’s head. When Suizi wasn’t there, she would miss her. But when Suizi was there, she acted pretentious and didn’t come to pick her up at the station.

What if Suizi’s in-laws thought they were being slighted? Wasn’t this just looking for trouble?

Chen Ziyao tried to discreetly observe Suizi’s in-laws. Seeing them greeting him with smiles on their faces, not seeming to pick a fight, he breathed a sigh of relief.

All the furniture and such was handled by Fan Huang’s people. Chen Ziyao led Suizi’s family out of the station, thinking about how he could help his niece save face. However, whatever he feared the most came to mind.

As soon as they left the station, they ran into two people. Chen Ziyao’s brain buzzed as though it was about to explode.

This... this was a disaster right?!
