Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1207 - 722-724: Three-in-One Jumbo -

No wonder that day when I greeted the old lady with Auntie, as soon as she heard it was the Cultural Troupe, she kept saying what a pity. Wang Mingli’s speech here practically openly tells the two of them that whatever the deputy mine director demands, they cannot refuse.

”Director Wang, I won’t do anything that involves selling myself for advancement.” Luo Ye said coldly.

Wang Mingli’s smile froze instantly: ”Xiao Luo, how can you talk like that? When did I ask you to sell yourself?”

Zhao Qianqian quickly grabbed onto Wang Mingli’s arm, shaking it back and forth: ”Director Wang, don’t be mad. Luo Ye just has that kind of temper. Otherwise, why would she be transferred from Sha City to Yuanzhou?”

Wang Mingli looked Zhao Qianqian up and down: ”Listening to you makes me want to ask more, she was transferred because of her temper, what about you?”

”This...” Zhao Qianqian looked troubled and squirmed, ”Director Wang, please don’t ask about that.”

Luo Ye’s eyes flickered, and she turned her face away.

Thinking she had grasped the core of the issue, Wang Mingli had a sudden realization, warmly hugging Zhao Qianqian: ”Don’t be sad, everything will get better.”

”I hope so. My family’s situation is not good, my parents worked hard to raise me. If I lose this job, they’ll be very upset...” Zhao Qianqian spoke with reddened eyes, ”When I was little, because my family was poor, my parents were not respected by relatives. They can finally stand tall now. I absolutely cannot be knocked back to the original state!

Director Wang, the two of us have come here unfamiliar with the place, relying on your care and assistance. Although Luoluo has a bad temper, she is sincere at heart. Whoever treats her well will find she treats them even better. You’ll understand this over time.”

”This child. You are quite loyal...” Wang Mingli glanced at Luo Ye with her little face tense, sighed softly, ”Xiao Luo, you might find the words I said earlier unacceptable.

However, the situation with small local Cultural Troupes like ours is just like that. If you’re clever and know how to navigate, you can thrive.

If you act haughty, the result... the result is losing your job. What I said earlier wasn’t to gain anything for myself, but I sincerely hope you can stay.

After all, a job like this still holds prestige; being assigned here suggests you have no strong backing, correct? Your parents worked hard to raise you, endure it, and everything can pass.”

”Director Wang, can you speak a bit more clearly?” Luo Ye stared straight at Wang Mingli, ”What do you mean by ’endure it, and everything can pass’?”

”You’re a grown-up, I don’t need to spell it out, right?” Wang Mingli said, expressionless, raising her hand with the ticket, ”Do you want to reimburse the full amount or partially?”

”Of course, the full amount.” Zhao Qianqian quickly said.

”Then...” Wang Mingli glances over Luo Ye’s face, pondering for a moment, ”Xiao Zhao, if you really want the full reimbursement, go by yourself. Given Xiao Luo’s temper, there’s a good chance she’ll mess things up.”

”Alright.”

”No way!”

”You...” Wang Mingli shook her head, glaring at Luo Ye, ”Xiao Luo, if you want to stay well, you need to change your nature. Otherwise, you’ll drag Xiao Zhao down.”

”We came together, and no one can bully her.” Luo Ye was a naive hothead, showing it completely.

”Fine then, I don’t care anymore.” Wang Mingli spread her hands, ”This is what you call good intentions getting no reward. Take the ticket, hold onto it first. Now, I’ll take you to complete the entry procedures, then take you to the dormitory. The rest is up to you.”

”Director Wang, let us discuss this further. Although Luoluo and I have different characters, we get along really well. If she isn’t happy about something, I certainly won’t do it. Please... please don’t be mad.”

”Fine!” Wang Mingli turned and headed outside. Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian exchanged a quiet glance and followed casually.

Along the way, the two naturally attracted countless stares.

The first shot, successfully fired.

...

The dormitory for the Mine Art Troupe is right next to the office building, and Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian’s room is 202.

By the time Wang Mingli had finished showing them their entry procedures, it was already noon. With a gloomy face, she pointed out their room and turned to go, clearly quite upset with Luo Ye.

Two beds, one bedside cabinet, that’s all the property in the dormitory. Zhao Qianqian took a few glances and laughed: ”Luoluo, we’ve returned to the Liberation overnight.”
