Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Advancing Talent Reserves

Li Bo looked at Qiao Qingyu without blinking, his voice carrying a sobbing tone, "I know I was wrong, I hate it too, sometimes I just want to destroy those two people."

Qiao Qingyu raised her eyebrows and spoke slowly, "Li Bo, you are now a university student. Our generation of university students are the most precious talents of our country. You should study hard, make progress, and focus on your academics. Your future will be bright and increasingly broad.

If you do well, your mother will also be at ease. If you truly can make a name for yourself in the future, you will have a say in your family. Moreover, never try to foolishly seek revenge. Any action without a clever plan is just a crime. Your mother has endured disgrace to ensure that you could grow up safely and have a happy future. Don’t let her sacrifices be in vain..."

Li Bo gazed blankly at Qiao Qingyu, tears streaming down his face unnoticed.

...

Finally, after the exams were over, Qiao Qingyu could not leave immediately. She had already confirmed twenty internship positions and she needed to send the people over.

All came from families in urgent need of money, and their majors were a perfect match for the West River Chemical Factory. After careful examination and verification, their character, temperament, and talents were all commendable.

Thus, Qiao Qingyu took twenty people to the West River Chemical Factory.

The director of the West River Wulong Chemical Factory, surnamed Tang, was commonly referred to as Director Tang.

He was a man in his forties, who, upon seeing Qiao Qingyu, was all smiles and hurried footsteps.

This Qiao Qingyu was no ordinary person; she was the chairperson’s beloved grandniece.

Her capabilities were not small, Secretary Chang told him privately that Qiao Qingyu might well be Wu Xiucai’s successor.

Naturally, he was more than willing to help, and it also came as an easy favor.

These twenty individuals that Qiao Qingyu had brought, he had reviewed their files - truly excellent in both character and learning. If properly used, they could become great assets in the future.

What is currently scarce? It’s talent. Not just in Huaxia, but overseas too, talent is a treasure everywhere.

If he could retain all these twenty individuals at their factory, Wulong Chemical Factory would be immensely strengthened.

He personally received them, arranged everything himself, took the students on a tour around the entire plant, and then assigned them dormitories. The Wulong Chemical Factory had very good conditions; despite being a privately-owned enterprise, often looked down upon, it still boasted a foreign-funded sign.

Getting in was not so easy either, the internship salary was even higher than a regular staff salary.

During the nearly two-month holiday, these people would earn their entire semester’s living expenses.

Not to mention, they would learn many things not taught in school.

Director Tang was very pleased, as were the factory’s engineering and technical staff, and these twenty vibrant university students were even more delighted.

By this time, Director Tang had great admiration for Qiao Qingyu. Look at that, this was what it meant to be both capable in dealing with people and handling matters.

He thanked Qiao Qingyu for bringing in the talent. These twenty university students were especially grateful to Qiao Qingyu for painstakingly finding this opportunity for them.

While these twenty university students might not all succeed, if even half of them did, they would all be valuable connections for Qiao Qingyu in the future.

Indeed, just as the saying goes, dragons beget dragons and phoenixes, phoenixes; the son of a mouse can only dig holes.

Qiao Qingyu was very satisfied with the spiritual state of these university students and the environment of the factory. She felt relieved and spent several hours wandering around Xichuan. In the afternoon, she hitched a ride back home with two large handbags.

He Xiuyu wasn’t home. The house was toasty warm with Rongrong and Xiao Hu doing their homework and Sister-in-law Li cooking for Qiao Qingyu.

Qiao Qingyu placed the items she bought for Sister-in-law Li on the kang bed. Then, feeling truly famished, she devoured a large bowl of hot noodle soup topped with a poached egg, accompanied by a plate of pickled vegetables.

After finishing her meal, she remarked, "Ah, there’s really nothing like the food at home."

"Now that’s great, with such a long holiday, you can finally rest up and eat well."

"Sister-in-law, Rongrong has been quite a handful for you."

Sister-in-law Li glanced at Qiao Qingyu, pretending to scowl, "Qingyu, I’d be really upset if you say that. Xiao Hu is practically your half-son. Everyone at the base knows that."

Qiao Qingyu burst into laughter, recalling when Xiao Hu had once wanted to be her son just to play with Rongrong.

Of course, it was a secret meant to be kept and not disclosed to Sister-in-law Li.

He Xiuyu was busy with something. No response from his office phone meant he had probably holed up in some workshop, laboratory, or another clandestine location.

Although Rongrong wanted to sleep with Qiao Qingyu, she changed her mind right before bedtime, claiming her resolve to be a disciplined child. Thus, she returned to her room with her pillow and slippers clattering along the floor.

Qiao Qingyu had redecorated the little girl’s room once again, adorning the walls with cartoon wallpapers bought from Nangang City.

However, this wallpaper was not like those found decades later—it was merely a thin sheet with printed patterns, which required a paste made of flour to be applied on its back before it could be affixed to the wall.

Thus, the little girl’s room ended up being the prettiest among all the girls’ rooms in the residential complex.

After Rongrong fell asleep, Qiao Qingyu turned off the light and left her bedroom.

She went around each room, tidied up by He Xiuyu a couple of days ago. He had washed the bed sheets, replaced the pillowcases, and cleaned the curtains and reed mats on the kang bed thoroughly.

He also watered the flowers and the tea plant had grown a bit more. Qiao Qingyu wasn’t sure whether the leaves could be picked and dried for tea.

Yet, they were not short of tea leaves at home, so it stayed as a mere ornamental plant.

The house was warmed daily; otherwise, these plants would have long succumbed to the cold.

The plants were only in her bedroom and He Xuerong’s, never daring to place them elsewhere.

She wondered when the base would implement central heating. Perhaps it could transition directly to geothermal heating.

Qiao Qingyu thought it might just be feasible.

Later, she called her grandpa and parents in Yun City, happy to hear they were all well.

Wu Qianyun told Qiao Qingyu that with winter setting in, Wu Xiucai’s health had deteriorated. He suffered from chronic insomnia and often couldn’t sleep all night, making it impossible for them to visit the Qiao Family Team during the New Year as planned.

Wu Qianyun prioritized Wu Xiucai’s health over his wealth and status. She acknowledged that her father had aged and his health was deteriorating significantly, necessitating her caring attention.

As for her own health, the doctors found nothing serious upon examination, only minor issues that would recover with proper care.

After a long discussion, Qiao Qingyu uncertainly said, "During the winter break, our school has two events, but I’ll schedule them appropriately. If I can make it to Yun City for the New Year, I definitely will."
