Chapter 523 Longevity Lock

The two went outside and searched for a while before finding a shady and secluded place.

Wei Jianping adopted a superior's demeanor and began to talk to Lei Songyue about work-related matters.

Chatting and chatting.

He discovered that Lei Songyue could not understand human speech.

So he could only try to steer the conversation toward family, making Lei Songyue understand that he wanted to give the job opening to his family.

Lei Songyue was a frank and straightforward person. She said directly, "You've already put someone like your son in here. I don't believe there are any smart people in your family. I have to take care of recruiting more than 900 people. I'll stop talking now."

Wei Jianping's face darkened: "Comrade Lei, you should think carefully before you speak."

The factory committee's direct superior is the secretary.

Lei Songyue thought it through clearly: "I've thought it through clearly. Also, I have to go now."

Wei Jianping was furious when he didn't get the answer he wanted. What's wrong with the women here? They're all so fierce!

It's all Chen Qing's fault.

She set a bad precedent.

This led to so many people following suit.

As Wei Jianping thought about it, he couldn't help but feel worried again.

With so many people in the family, and our son and daughter approaching marriageable age, plus children in the countryside who are still hungry, this hundred-odd yuan seems like a lot, but it's actually not enough to cover our expenses at all.

Wei Jianping is under immense pressure.

Chen Qing, on the other hand, was free from all worries. The advantage of having a leadership team was that she didn't have to personally manage everything.

So Chen Qing went home and started writing her manual again.

Part One of the manual is complete.

Now, let's begin the second part.

For several days in a row, Chen Qing was busy at home, and her days were quite regular. She was even thinking that she could take Xiao Yu out for a trip this weekend.

knock knock --

Chen Qing suddenly looked up at the doorway.

The front door of the house is always open, except when sleeping or when there is something to do.

Therefore, Chen Qing spotted the person who had arrived at a glance.

—Lin Chongping!

"How did you come?"

"Chen Qing, I really have something to talk to you about."

Lin Chongping walked in.

"I'll make you some tea."

“We’re so close, let’s not get into these things. Today I mainly want to talk about He Yuxiang’s issues.”

Lin Chongping's expression was serious.

Chen Qing also became nervous: "Teacher Lin, please speak."

“He Yuxiang hasn’t been attending classes properly these past few days. You could say he’s not paying attention at all. He’s either taking on freelance work, writing internship reports for others, or studying that Xinhua Dictionary. Also, he’s skipped class twice in the last two days.”

"Skipping class!!"

Chen Qing was incredulous.

Lin Chongping: "That's right. If Dwarf Tiger skips class, Dwarf Tiger's father won't care, and I won't come to talk to him. But since Yu Xiang skips get out of class, I think we should take it seriously. I'm afraid that if I come to you after class, He Yu Xiang will be unhappy when he finds out. So I came to tell you during a break when I don't have class."

Do you know exactly why you skipped class?

“I specifically asked him, and he just gave me two words, ‘Something’s up.’”

Lin Chongping was speechless and choked with emotion.

Chen Qing frowned slightly: "Then I'll ask him properly."

"Okay, I'm going back to class too. Don't yell at him, and use your words more gently."

"Okay, I see."

Chen Qing pondered that He Yuxiang's truancy was probably related to the typewriter.

When He Yuxiang returned from school, Chen Qing completely forgot about Teacher Lin's instructions and asked He Yuxiang directly, "Why did you skip class?"

Xiaoyu immediately informed on him: "My brother lost ten yuan on his way to school, and he's investigating who picked up his money."

Chen Qing: "..."

Startled her.

She had just been thinking about how to persuade He Yuxiang to continue his studies if he became obsessed with making money and chose to give up his education.

Unexpectedly, it was because He Yuxiang's money was missing. Chen Qing asked, "Are there any leads now?"

He Yuxiang shook his head.

Chen Qing comforted him, "The money is gone, so be it. Just be more careful in the future."

"Actually, I didn't lose any money."

"Then what are you doing skipping class?"

“A new black market has started up around here. I went there a few times and found some jewelry. I bought it all. Half for Xiaoyu and half for the baby in your belly.”

"Jewelry! Where did you get the money? No... do you even know what jewelry is? You're just buying it. What if you lose money? What if it's fake?"

“It should be real.” He Yuxiang took out a small box of jewelry: “I spent three hundred yuan on these. There’s a longevity lock, a jade bracelet necklace, and some other things that I think are quite pretty.”

Chen Qing looked at the small box full of gems. She was sorry, but she couldn't tell the real ones from the fakes. This matter still needed to be handled by He Yuan.

"Don't you like to be frugal? Why are you suddenly spending so much money? Don't you feel bad about it?"

He Yuxiang: "Money is meant to be spent."

Chen Qing's pupils contracted slightly.

Has his ideological awareness become so high?!

Why did you suddenly decide to buy these things?

"Because I want to spend money."

This is the reason.

Chen Qing was speechless: "You spent three hundred yuan at once, you're really extravagant."

"It's my money, I'm in charge."

He Yuxiang spoke with righteous indignation.

He certainly didn't suddenly decide to spend money, especially not three hundred yuan.

He had heard from others when he went out with his grandfather that many wealthy families in ancient times liked to give their children longevity locks so that the children could grow up healthy and safe.

He doesn't know whether it's true or not.

But I want to buy it.

Two longevity locks.

One of them is for my younger sister.

One of them is for my aunt's unborn child.

As for the remaining jewelry necklaces, they were from the black market. When asked if he wanted jewelry, he tentatively nodded, and the other party led him directly to a small dark room to choose them.

He doesn't have much money.

I just picked some randomly.

But just a little bit.

It cost 300.

He Yuxiang didn't feel any remorse despite spending so much money, because the longevity lock was worth it.

Chen Qing sighed, "Spending so much money on a little kid like you is very risky, do you know that?"

"I know, but that person knows my uncle, which is why I dared to buy it."

"Your uncle knows him!"

"Yes, I remember he came to see my uncle, but I forgot what he wanted to do. He knows me, so he probably wouldn't dare to lie to me. Even if he did, it doesn't matter. When my uncle comes back, I can ask him to seek justice for me."

He Yuxiang closed the box, took his three-hundred-yuan treasure back to his house.

Chen Qing: "Wait, you're not allowed to skip class anymore."

"I see."

"Don't keep doing other things during class. What will the teacher think of you?"

"I already understand it, why do I need to listen again? Let the teacher talk to me when I fail."

He Yuxiang has no expectations for his grades.

As long as the grades are passing, that's fine.

As long as you pass, you're not considered a bad student, and if you're not a bad student, the teacher has no right to contact your parents.

He Yuxiang returned to his room and carefully put the small wooden box away.

I sincerely pray that the longevity lock will be effective.

He Yuxiang actually wanted Xiaoyu to wear a longevity lock directly.

But Xiaoyu is too mischievous; people will definitely know what she's wearing around her neck.

Wearing gold now isn't appropriate, so we'll just have to save this longevity lock for her for now.
