CHAPTER 298: CHAPTER 169-170: ACCIDENT / CONFRONTATION 4

Li Qing put down the mirror, seriously looking at Xing Nong: "Go ahead, I won’t be annoyed."

"Based on my understanding, there are indeed some rural areas in our country that are quite impoverished, but the fact you had the opportunity to attend high school and take the university entrance exam means your area doesn’t fall into this category. Why... are you so frail?" Seeing Li Qing’s expression darken, Xing Nong quickly explained: "I didn’t mean any harm, I am just worried you might not be able to handle the training later on."

Li Qing gave a wry smile: "You’re right, my hometown is poor, but not to the point of starvation. However, our village is more than ten miles from both the junior and senior high schools. To save time, I would only go home once a week, and to save money, I would bring steamed buns and pickles from home. Plus, I often stayed up late, and that’s why I never gained weight."

"I see, I understand now." Xing Nong sighed, "I know about GF University’s recruitment plan in Chuansi Province, and for a province to only have a few dozen spots, it’s quite admirable that you managed to stand out."

A grateful look appeared on Li Qing’s face: "I could report here all thanks to Mayor Ding of our city. If it wasn’t for him, I might have had to go back home to farm and spend my entire life in the countryside."

Xing Nonghao moved in closer with curiosity: "Was there almost an impersonation incident?"

"It had already happened, but Mayor Ding discovered it and removed that official and the head of the education bureau from their positions. He personally delivered the admission notice to my house and even gave our family a subsidy of 2000 yuan."

"How could that be?" Yao Juanjuan looked incredulous: "Based on what you’re saying, it’s like someone else tried to register using your admission notice, which is impossible, right?"

"It used to happen often in our area. The imposters were always connected, they had ways to change the photo on the documents. The household registration still used my name, it’s as if there were two of me in the world, except one moved out and the other stayed in the original place.

My deskmate’s sister was replaced by someone else. She was admitted to a vocational school, and at that time, vocational schools would arrange jobs, so her admission notice was intercepted and replaced with the daughter of the Mayor.

It wasn’t until the Mayor stepped down that someone exposed the matter. My deskmate’s sister filed a lawsuit, but in the end, the Mayor’s daughter lost her job and the sister got nothing.

Having seen it happen before, others who encounter this kind of thing choose to settle it privately. Of course, the powerful ones handle it very secretly and it’ll never be discovered, which means most people will never know they’ve been replaced."

Xing Nong pursed his lips: "The leader who tried to replace you is quite uneducated too. It’s one thing to replace someone for other schools, but GF University has rigorous checks, and eventually, the truth will come out, and the admission notice will find its way back to you."

"Really?" Li Qing looked astonished.

"Yes, the admissions process at GF University is taken very seriously by both provincial and city leaders, who pay extra attention. Otherwise, how do you think that Mayor could have found out?"

"So that’s it?" Li Qing nodded again: "Even so, I am especially grateful to Mayor Ding."

Luo Ye nodded in agreement: "That’s right, your city’s Mayor is indeed not bad."

"Li Qing, that Mayor you’re talking about is my uncle," Yu Na, who had been standing at the door for a while, said with a smile as she stepped in.

"Really?" Li Qing’s face brightened with joy: "Yu Na, if you write to your uncle, make sure to tell him that our whole family is especially, especially grateful to him. Also, I will study hard and behave well, so as not to disappoint him!"

Yao Juanjuan rolled her eyes: "Li Qing, aren’t you a bit outdated? Everyone contacts through phone calls these days, who still writes letters?"

"It’s fine, writing a letter occasionally has its charm."

"Monitor, is your family also a family of high-ranking officials?" Yao Juanjuan asked Yu Na with interest.

"What high-ranking officials, we all get together because of fate, don’t bother with those superficial things. When I brought up my uncle earlier, it was just a reflex, not to show off, everyone please don’t misunderstand!"

"Of course we won’t..."

Yu Na’s attitude was now completely different from before, and Xing Nong hooked a corner of his mouth and whispered to Luo Ye: "Someone has reflected and changed their strategy, the trumpet for struggle has officially sounded!"

"Cut it out, who’s going to fight with her?" Luo Ye poked Xing Nong’s forehead: "If we really start fighting, our class III will definitely be at the bottom of everything!"

"Well, that’s true, but we can’t just go cozy up to her, can we? Oh, here she comes..."

"Luo Ye, I’d like to speak with you alone, may I?" Yu Na smiled invitingly at Luo Ye.

"Sure!" Luo Ye agreed readily, she came to GF University to realize her dreams, not to compete with Yu Na, nor to be at the bottom.

After finding a quiet spot on the West Playground and sitting down, Yu Na smiled slightly: "First of all, I should apologize to you."

"Oh?" Luo Ye smiled faintly.

"Your Little Aunt is my aunt, so you must also be clear about the matters of the Yu Family. Having seen enough of my aunts’ marriages, I particularly despise arranged marriages. So, when my Grandpa suggested an alliance with the Ye Family, I was very upset. Hearing that you were with Ye Xuan, actually, I was secretly pleased.

But human nature is such that we all have a sense of inherent vanity. The Ye Family rejected the Yu Family’s marriage proposal and chose the Luo Family, that’s why I subconsciously wanted to compete with you, I am truly sorry!"

"It’s fine!" Luo Ye’s smile grew brighter; a smart girl indeed. Of course, she preferred fair competition, which seemed to be the best solution.

"Since that’s the case, from today onwards we are good classmates, good comrades-in-arms. Whether we can become friends in the end, we’ll have to wait and see.

I also want to add that I won’t give up competing with you. Among the few of us from our dormitory, only you and I have similar skills, in the days to come I won’t make it easy for you.

I don’t like Ye Xuan, but still, I want to show him which one of us is better. You don’t mind, right?"

"There’s nothing to mind." Luo Ye chuckled: "It seems you are aware you could win over others, but you could never win over Xing Nong and Yaoguang, hence you chose honesty, forcing us to cooperate with your work. Actually, this approach of yours - I quite admire it. Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back."

Exposed by Luo Ye, a slight embarrassment flashed across Yu Na’s face, then she smiled and stood up: "I’ll go back with you!"

Nuajin updates twice today, whew, finally updated a bit earlier. My arm swelled up with a red bump the size of an egg from the test shot the doctor gave me, it’s itchy and painful. They say it’ll take five or six days to go down, it’s torturous, doctors aren’t always nice.

A special thanks to our family’s He Shi Bi from ’ぐ戀貓﹏ ’ for the generous gift, Cat, is this a consolation prize? Thanks to Pink for Nuan and those who subscribe to the official release, love you all.
