Zhou Yi asked where Zhou De and his family were currently staying and immediately got up, preparing to question Zhou De.
“Uncle, I’ll go with you,” said Zhou Cha.
Zhou Yi was in a fit of anger. He didn’t reply and turned to leave. Zhou Cha promptly followed.
Meanwhile, in the Bay Area, Zhou De’s family was both excited and happy, but also worried.
This was because Chen Yuan had just received a recommendation letter from Professor Zhao Hong from the Imperial Conservatory of Music. This was the highest institution that many music students dreamed of.
However, when she thought of that year’s 200,000 yuan tuition fee, Chen Yuan could not be happy no matter what.
If it had been any other major, it would be fine. However, music was too expensive. There were also some self-funded performances, costumes, and so on, which would burn even more money.
Chen Shu took Chen Yuan’s recommendation letter with guilt in her eyes. Then, she raised her hand and was about to tear it up. Chen Yuan knew what her mother was trying to do and had no intention of stopping her.
In her opinion, if Zhou Yun had not used her connections, she would not have received this recommendation letter, so she could not be selfish.
Zhou Yun was dumbfounded when she saw Chen Shu’s actions. She quickly went forward and snatched the recommendation letter. This could not be torn up. If it was torn up, and they had to wait for another recommendation letter to be sent over, they would have to wait another three days. Chen Yuan would nag at her for three more days.
“Yun, don’t stop Mum. We can’t afford to attend this school,” Chen Yuan said.
Zhou Yun looked at her worried family and said, “It’s not that time yet. Chen Yuan, apply first and confirm the time of the examination. It will still take about ten days before the examination. We’ll think of a solution in these ten days. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”
Zhou Yun thought to herself that, if things still didn’t work out when the time came, she would personally go down and straighten it out. She would send Chen Yuan to Jin City and restore peace for herself.
“Yes, my wife,” Zhou De said, hurrying forward. “There’s still about ten days left. Maybe by then, the two of us will have found a good job.”
Chen Shu could only hope. She nodded and said, “Alright, let’s wait a little longer.”
At once, Zhou Yun put away the recommendation letter and said to Chen Yuan, “Hurry up and find a time to apply for the entrance exam. No matter what happens later, we should prepare first. Even if you can’t go later on, at least you can go and test your strength.”
Chen Yuan thought about it and felt that it made sense. She nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll do it. I’ll apply for the entrance examination in a while.”
Zhou Yun let out a sigh of relief.
Then, the next moment, Chen Yuan pestered Zhou Yun again. “Yun, come. I’ll help you review the readings for the third year of high school. Although my results aren’t very good, I can be considered to have gone through the university entrance exams…”
“I need to go to the washroom first.” Zhou Yun quickly hid in the toilet and picked up her phone to find a job for her dad and stepmother.
Previously, Zhou De’s annual salary was about 150,000 yuan. This could not even pay for Chen Yuan’s potential tuition fees. Thinking about it, it was better to set it at more than 500,000 yuan.
Zhou Yun instantly sent a message to Zhao Shi. “Junior, help me find a job with an annual salary of about 500,000 yuan. The location is in Deer City. With better benefits; most importantly, a company that is stronger.”
“Little Senior, are you looking for a job? 500,000 yuan is too low. Your starting price is at least two million yuan. A few companies have been asking me about you some time ago, and those seniors who have already left the mountains want to hire you. No, this salary isn’t even worth the money you get from selling a pill. Little Senior, what are you planning?”
“I’m looking for one for my dad. Record the contact details. Zhou De, XXXXXXXXXXX. Don’t mention me when you contact him. Follow the normal recruitment process.”
“Understood. I’ll get it done immediately.”
“Oh right, my dad’s new wife used to make breakfast. See if there’s a suitable job and arrange one for her.”
“Little Senior’s dad’s new wife. Is the word ‘stepmother’ too difficult for you to spit out?”
Zhou Yun couldn’t be bothered with Zhao Shi. Ever since she came back, she hadn’t even formally called Zhou De ‘dad’. Naturally, ‘stepmother’ was also very hard to get out.
Zhou Yun had just put down her phone when Chen Yuan’s voice came from outside the door. “Yun, are you done? You’ve been in there for 20 minutes. Come out quickly. We have to revise.”
Zhou Yun felt that she had nothing to live for. She could not beat her to death or poison her; she didn’t get angry when scolded. Gosh, someone should take Chen Yuan away.
Zhou Yun sighed and flushed the originally clean toilet before leaving.
Zhou Yun had just read with Chen Yuan for a while when suddenly, cheers erupted in the living room.
