She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 924: Chapter 970: Earning More Money

However, Sheng An’s recent memory recall has gone beyond mere cleverness; she’s practically a genius when it comes to memory. If she were to analyze or engage in precise work, her contribution would far exceed the efforts of many others.

”Oh! I hadn’t noticed that.” Sheng An scratched her head, embarrassed. ”Back in the rural hometown, after I stopped going to school, I sold bean sprouts.” Thinking back now, it seems that’s really how it was.

Selling bean sprouts, sometimes business was so good that she couldn’t handle it alone. Every time, she would wait until packing up at noon to do the accounts: who bought how much, paid how much, and the change given. She could remember it all clearly, without a single cent off.

”You sold bean sprouts back at home?” President Zhu was not just surprised, but amazed. If he had such a smart and clever daughter, he’d surely cradle her in his hands, let her receive the best education and attend the best schools!

”Yes! The family was poor and couldn’t afford school. My older sister dropped out even earlier than me and went to the General Union. I stayed at home and took the chance to learn bean sprout selling with my sister when she came back on break.” Sheng An said, thinking about earning money every day with a bright smile, ”I sold bean sprouts and made money every day, business was great.”

President Zhu felt a bit sad; despite coming to investigate matters, he ended up chatting about family.

”How old are you this year?”

”Eighteen, by traditional age.”

”Are you planning to return to school?” President Zhu was determined; if her family wasn’t willing to support her education, he would. Consider it aiding a needy student, a talent like hers shouldn’t be wasted.

An’an nodded, ”My sister said I should go to college. Only by going to college can I stand out and earn more money in the future.”

”Uh... An’an, we’re revolutionaries, meant to contribute to the nation’s current construction. You can’t always focus on earning money; your future belongs in the General Union, engaging in more advanced and precise work.”

”Will it make a lot of money?”

”Uh... contributing to the nation can’t be measured by money.”

”If there’s no money, forget it. I want to go to college because my sister told me I could earn more money, and that’s the only reason I’m willing. Only by earning more money can I better support my parents and avoid being bullied in the future.”

President Zhu instantly had nothing more to say, and after a brief silence, he sighed: ”An’an, rest assured, no matter what you do, you’ll definitely excel.” Ah! This girl is too simple. It seems he’ll have to discuss the future with Sheng Ning.

Earlier at the union, it was clear Sheng Ning cherished her younger sister very much and surely wouldn’t neglect her.

”Really?” Since coming to the city, An’an has always lacked confidence, and deep down she’s constantly insecure, desperately seeking affirmation. President Zhu’s words instantly made her beam with joy.

”No doubt about it, you’re smart, hardworking, ambitious, and can endure hardships; you’ll definitely be successful in the future.” President Zhu didn’t care if the topic went off on a tangent; after prior inquiries, he was sure Sheng An wasn’t a suspect. Including that weapon, it was certainly someone else’s deliberate framing.

”Thank you.” An’an stood up, grabbed President Zhu’s hand, and happily said, ”Fatty Zhu, I’m the kind of person who’s loyal to friends. If someone respects me a little, I respect them a lot. Since you believe in me so much, you’ll be my friend from now on.”
