Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1551: Chapter 1270: (Part 2)

Time ticked by, second by second.

With tears in her voice, Zhou Yaqing called home and poured out the whole story of her reassignment; she didn’t know what her family said to her, but her emotions gradually calmed down.

After hanging up, she didn’t speak to Director Song, just quietly sat down on the sofa to wait for her family to call back.

After about seven or eight minutes, the landline rang. Before Director Song could reach for the receiver, Zhou Yaqing stood up like a gust of wind and grabbed it first.

The call was indeed from the Zhou Family, but unfortunately it didn’t bring good news to Zhou Yaqing. Before the person on the other end finished speaking, she burst into tears: ”Grandma, go to Great-Uncle, as long as Great-Uncle says one word, my job placement will definitely be transferred back, Grandma... what? Great-Uncle says he can’t help me... no, I don’t believe it, Grandma, please beg Great-Uncle again...”

”Xiao Qing, Grandma did beg, but it’s no use. Will you just listen, all right?”

Old Lady Zhou’s heart ached when she heard her granddaughter crying, but she was truly powerless, and could only go on painstakingly persuading her: ”Working at the institute is too hard. From the start, Grandma never agreed with you going to be some researcher, it was your parents insisting that job was good. Now your job placement has been moved, and Grandma thinks that’s not necessarily a bad thing.”

With a sob in her voice, Zhou Yaqing asked, ”Grandma, you really don’t plan to ask Great-Uncle again for me?”

”It’s not that I won’t help; it’s that your Great-Uncle refused to do this favor. Xiao Qing, you know this, Grandma and your Great-Uncle aren’t from the same mother. All these years, if our family hadn’t rarely troubled your Great-Uncle,

back when your parents wanted to shove you into the institute, having Grandma go beg your Great-Uncle in person, your Great-Uncle might not have agreed to that favor. Now your job placement’s been moved, there must be reasons on your own side. I said a lot of good things about you on the phone to your Great-Uncle, asking him to help one last time, but his attitude was very clear—he said he couldn’t help...”

Before Old Lady Zhou could finish on the other end of the line, the call was slammed down by Zhou Yaqing with a ”bang”.

”Director, for the sake of the fact that I’m about to leave our institute, can you tell me whether it was because of the fight I had with Teacher Shen at lunch that my job placement ended up being transferred?”

Zhou Yaqing overturned her previous suspicion. She didn’t think Shen Yun, or even the Shen family, had that much pull, enough to get her job moved through higher-level leadership.

And the fact that she was being reassigned was already set in stone; most likely, it had something to do with the institute itself.

”Comrade Zhou Yaqing, I think you should understand that regarding what you’re asking, I have the right to refuse to answer, and I have no obligation to answer you.”

Director Song’s face was as dark as water, all business.

”Got it. Even if you don’t say it, I’m very clear now—my job placement being transferred is definitely related to what happened at noon.”

Dig a little deeper, it was related to her little thoughts.

Luo Yanqing, a top talent at the institute, the youngest Academician, and, on top of that, good-looking, with a particularly compelling personal charisma.

Just one look—after entering the institute, entering Luo Yanqing’s project team—just one look and she fell deeply in love with him. Even after knowing he had a family, she still didn’t give up those hidden thoughts, and under the pretext of work, she made plenty of excuses to get close to him.

He must have been pretty annoyed with her, otherwise he wouldn’t have ignored her outside of work matters.

In this moment, Zhou Yaqing really regretted getting into that fight with Shen Yun at lunch today.

Honestly, she didn’t even need to think about it to know the impact was terrible.

And the institute most likely took advantage of this incident to transfer her out, so she wouldn’t keep pestering Luo Yanqing.

Once she’d figured out the crux of the whole thing, Zhou Yaqing simply let the jar smash once and for all. She looked at Director Song: ”Academician Luo is your godson-in-law, Director. This time I’m being transferred, and there’s no way your personal bias isn’t involved. As for what that bias is,

you know very well, Director Song. But I might as well tell you, even if I get reassigned, my feelings for Luo Yanqing aren’t going to change. And I believe that utmost sincerity can split stone. Just you wait—one day, Luo Yanqing will no longer be your godson-in-law.”

”...”

Director Song was stunned by how shameless she was. After a long silence, he spoke: ”Having confidence is a good thing. I hope your dream comes true.”

He really had never seen a girl this shameless... Well, actually, Shen Yun’s level of shamelessness wasn’t far behind this girl’s. However, ever since Shen Yun remarried, at least on the surface she hadn’t done anything outrageous in the institute.
