Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 84 - 36: The Protagonist’s Cannon Fodder Younger Sister

Chapter 84: Chapter 36: The Protagonist’s Cannon Fodder Younger Sister

Currently, everyone is highly enthusiastic about this new type of clothing on the market, especially since Cheng Lie’s production of this coat uses a camel color that just recently became popular abroad. Combined with expensive wool and featuring exquisite round-neck designs, the camel color round-neck coat became a sensation in the streets.

Cheng Lie’s development philosophy is high quality and high return. The clothes under the brand he established belong to the consumer goods for a medium to high-end demographic, directly sold in places like Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen.

At the same time, he also collaborated with He Xing to newly establish a factory specifically for cheap clothing. By recruiting a large number of female workers to model their own designs, the costs were lowered, and they sent their clothes to wholesale markets in various cities, making as much money through volume as they did through quality.

The factory had good benefits and earned a lot, so the cafeteria meals were good.

Especially the special meals prepared for the leaders were exceptionally exquisite and delicious.

Ever since Jiang Lai returned the ring to He Xing last time, the two had openly declared themselves friends.

Cheng Lie occasionally brought Jiang Lai over for meals, which also indirectly announced their relationship. Every time they met, He Xing jokingly referred to Jiang Lai as the boss lady.

"Boss lady, take a look at this piece of clothing, how is it?"

He Xing brought the newly designed sample garment to Jiang Lai for her to examine.

Jiang Lai glanced at it, then turned back to continue eating her chicken leg, mumbling.

"Remove the ring of rhinestones around the waist of the clothing and replace it with a small belt to create a cinching effect. Make the neckline bigger; since it’s made for slender women, let their advantages be more evident."

He Xing nodded and directly had someone go to make alterations.

Jiang Lai had good taste and unique insights and ideas about design; the best-selling wide-leg flared jeans currently on the market were modifications she suggested during one of her incidental factory visits.

"Why don’t you directly become a designer for Cheng Lie? It would save him from hiring outsiders; you’re more professional than those who get paid."

"No can do, it’s talent."

Jiang Lai’s straightforward nature made He Xing feel somewhat ashamed. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Previously, he wanted to keep a distance from Jiang Lai because of past events, but he hadn’t expected her not to care about those things at all.

Thinking like this, if he had first met Jiang Lai...

This thought was immediately interrupted as Cheng Lie came over carrying a bag of popsicles.

"What are you chatting about?"

As he spoke, he handed Jiang Lai a milk-flavored ice pop that she liked best.

"We were talking about how lucky you are to have found such an excellent companion."

Cheng Lie smiled.

"Yeah, I tend to have good luck, otherwise I wouldn’t have met Jiang Lai."

Outsiders viewed them as superior and subordinate, but in reality, they were very good friends.

Cheng Lie extended a helping hand when He Xing was on the verge of despair; now He Xing gladly helped him manage the factory, doing what he was most adept at.

The villagers soon heard that the He Xing family had become prosperous and built a factory on the outskirts of the county, hiring over a hundred people inside!

Liu Shuping also heard about it and kept mentioning it to Jiang Qiuhe while feeding pigs.

"What’s up with them, becoming prosperous so suddenly, even building a large factory, I hear they interact daily with the county’s big leaders."

"Their prosperity is their fate, it’s uncertain; why, do you sound regretful?"

Liu Shuping sighed.

"What’s the use of regret? We’re the ones who broke off the engagement."

"Alright, stop doing embarrassing things, Erya doesn’t have that luck."

"Ah... I wonder how Erya is doing in Beijing; but she’s pretty and smart, who knows, she might bring back a Beijing son-in-law."

Jiang Qiuhe smiled without saying a word, continuing his work.

Soon, the college entrance exam results were out.

Another family in the village was already setting off firecrackers to celebrate, everyone in the family was content and glowing, anyone who saw them had to offer congratulations.

Even Jiang Shansheng, being the squad leader, couldn’t avoid being asked about Jiang Qu’s results.

Jiang Shansheng was proud, only responding.

"Can she not get into a university?"

Checking the results was just a matter of asking at the school; while the Jiang Family was waiting for good news from Jiang Qu, one morning Liu Shuping, who got up early to feed the chickens, suddenly saw Jiang Qu, pale-faced and dragging a bag at their doorstep. This scene startled her so much that she dropped the basket in her hand and, after uttering "Oh my God," realized it was truly her daughter who had returned.

"Erya! Why did you come back!"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qu coldly replied.

"This is my home, can’t I come back?"

Liu Shuping hurriedly wiped her hands and went up to help her daughter carry things. Seeing her daughter’s eyes full of bloodshot veins made her worried.

"What’s the matter? Were you bullied outside? Talk to me, tell Mom what’s going on."

However, Jiang Qu directly went back to her room, sat on the bed, and after looking at her worn-out, uneven room, she suddenly couldn’t help but cover her face and cry, her shoulders trembling as she cried, causing Liu Shuping to feel heartbroken and tear up in sympathy.

"Erya, you should tell me, what’s going on?"

"Mom, it’s all my fault, I’m useless, I’m useless!"

At this point, Liu Shuping guessed something, feeling a wave of disappointment, but continued to comfort verbally.

"If the sky falls, Mom will support it; what could be worth crying over like this? Alright, stop crying, are you hungry? Mom will make you some noodles."

"I’m not hungry, Mom, you can leave me alone, let me be quiet."

Soon the whole family knew about Jiang Qu’s college entrance exam failure.

After all, this couldn’t be hidden; the scores were out, even though they didn’t know her exact score, the school hadn’t made any moves until now, so she must have fallen short by quite a few points from the vocational college.

This year’s score lines were released; the vocational line was close to 490, and the bachelor’s line was nearly 530. The school’s college admission rate was incredibly low this year, the vast majority didn’t get into a university.

Yet, the neighbor’s child did, despite usually scoring lower than Jiang Qu, they borrowed a lot of notes from Jiang Lai through the village connection, scored well in English, and directly pulled their overall score up.

On the day of receiving the admission notice, they specially brought candy and fruit to thank Jiang Lai.

The entire summer, Jiang Qu stayed inside and did not come out.

Finally, as the new school year was approaching, she decided to repeat the year, and the family didn’t say anything, happily letting her repeat.

This time, Jiang Qu seemed to have determined to succeed by burning her bridges. She had Jiang Sheng rent her an apartment in the county for commuting, planning to return home once every six months, determined to get into university.

Seeing her suffer from setbacks, Jiang Sheng smoked quite a lot before discussing with Jiang Qiuhe; they dragged the pigs outside to sell them, earned some money, rented a small room closest to the school in the county town, and now Jiang Qu wouldn’t have to stay in dorms, nor return home every weekend.

After school commenced, Jiang Lai moved up to Grade 12, coincidentally ending up in the same grade as Jiang Qu.
