Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire-Chapter 56: Teaching He Dan a Lesson

Mechanical Factory Entrance.

He Dan’s nostrils flared, her throat felt like it was burning with flames, and her eyes were fixed on the list posted on the wall.

Fifteenth!

She actually ranked fifteenth!

Dead last!

"This is impossible!"

He Dan’s sharp voice exploded, drawing the attention of everyone around who was looking at the results, who took a step back in unison.

In these days, there are plenty of crazy people!

"What’s impossible."

"Thinks she’s something special."

The candidates whispered as the man who posted the results, with an air of authority, said, "Comrade, our examination process is fair and just, please refrain from groundless speculation and loud noise."

"Zhou Lian, Cao Hong, Li Chunxiang, did you all bring your documents?"

The three people named immediately raised their hands, indicating they had brought their documents, and followed the man into the mechanical factory to complete their onboarding procedures.

The others who didn’t pass felt disappointed but could only accept it and gradually dispersed.

Only He Dan remained.

She stood under the scorching sun, unwilling to accept the results before her.

"I want to find Lin Chengyuan, he’s in your security department!"

He Dan, regaining her senses, shouted for Lin Chengyuan at the entrance of the mechanical factory.

The old guard at the gate felt uneasy as soon as he heard the name, but still found someone to call Lin Chengyuan.

The moment He Dan saw Lin Chengyuan, she burst into tears.

Tears of grievance.

The old guard at the gate pursed his lips as he watched.

No wonder they’re a couple, they’re two of a kind.

Lin Chengyuan was just as surprised to learn that He Dan hadn’t passed.

Even if she didn’t pass, she shouldn’t be ranked last!

"Stop crying, I’ll ask around."

He Dan nodded through her sobs, deciding to go back and wait for news on Lin Chengyuan’s reassurance.

Lin Chengyuan returned to the mechanical factory, ready to inquire about the situation.

The result was getting scolded by the personnel department.

"What do you mean, Lin Chengyuan? You’re saying we engage in backdoor dealings!"

"I’ve worked at the mechanical factory for decades, and this is the first time someone has pointed at my nose to question me!"

"This is your wife’s test paper, eight out of ten questions wrong, and you still have the nerve to question me!"

Lin Chengyuan not only got scolded brutally but was also watched by onlookers.

Jiang Cheng joined in the fun too.

Holding a lunch box, Jiang Cheng found a perfect spot, eating while watching, a great side dish!

Finally, Director Chen from the security department came over, calming the personnel department’s anger.

The onlookers dispersed, and Jiang Cheng remained unsatisfied.

Turns out He Dan also took the exam.

Feels like the Lin Family will be lively tonight, maybe I should leave work early to watch the fun?

Let’s do that!

Jiang Cheng went back to work and clocked out at five in the afternoon.

She still carried a thick stack of documents, took them home to translate.

When Jiang Cheng returned to the courtyard on her bicycle, she happened to catch Lin’s mother and Li Chunxiang’s mother-in-law in a shouting match.

Li Chunxiang’s mother-in-law stood with hands on hips, head held high, like a victorious rooster.

"My Chunxiang graduated high school, why shouldn’t she pass? You can’t pass, so you blame others!"

"Others eat and speak, your family eats and spews crap, a whole family of rotten people from the latrine, stinking two miles in the wind! And you dare to insult my Chunxiang!"

Jiang Cheng tried hard to suppress a smile, but eventually gave up.

Laugh!

She was delighted!

Jiang Cheng pushed her bicycle into the house with Grandma Shen’s help, then Shen Xing handed her a small stool, and Shen Yue sat beside her cracking sunflower seeds.

The four of them found a perfect spot to watch the drama unfold.

Lin’s mother completely lost the argument with Li Chunxiang’s mother-in-law and was shivering with anger.

He Dan just stood with a proud face, tears streaming in the wind, as if her eyes were about to go blind.

Li Chunxiang’s mother-in-law spit on the ground.

"I’ll tell you what, that Dan or whatever, if you dare to drag my Chunxiang into this again, I’ll slap you every time I see you!"

"Acting so high and mighty, desperate to become someone’s wife, shameless like the Lin Family’s crooked nest!"

He Dan got scolded into oblivion, her fake crying turned real.

"What’s going on!"

Lin Chengyuan came back.

He Dan threw herself at him like a little bird seeking shelter.

"Chengyuan!"

Unfortunately, this time Lin Chengyuan didn’t catch He Dan, instead, he stepped back.

"Stop crying! What’s there to cry about, who can you blame for not passing the exam?"

Lin Chengyuan’s cold attitude chilled He Dan’s heart.

She stood awkwardly in the middle, pointed at by neighbors.

Even now, couples weren’t too intimate in public, holding hands had to be done secretly.

He Dan’s action of rushing to hug someone without hesitation was hard for many people to take.

Lin Chengyuan’s face looked extremely unpleasant.

Today, he got scolded by his boss because of He Dan, and in the afternoon, he watched several colleagues get praised for assisting in capturing human traffickers.

The commendations go on record, aiding in future promotions.

But he had nothing, not even knowing about the human trafficking case.

With high aspirations, Lin Chengyuan felt wronged, but having just been reprimanded, he didn’t dare show a displeased face.

This feeling of grievance built up inside him, suffocating him.

Seeing this scene upon returning home, he also held resentment towards He Dan.

Awkward as she was, He Dan quickly noticed Lin Chengyuan’s bad mood. Cleverly, she didn’t make a fuss outside.

"Come inside!"

Mr. Lin, who had been avoiding the outside, stood with his hands behind his back, giving He Dan a cold glance.

He had thought she was smart, but didn’t expect she couldn’t even pass the exam.

The Lin Family wasn’t on solid ground, and now they were the first to yield, Li Chunxiang’s mother-in-law wasn’t a fool, she snorted coldly and stopped scolding.

However, her walking pace showed her good mood!

Who would have thought her daughter could get a job at the mechanical factory?

It felt like a dream come true, yet it was happening in reality.

Satisfying!

So satisfying!

Standing behind, Li Chunxiang secretly winked at Jiang Cheng, silently intending to leave with her mother.

"Is this the right place...."

A strange voice came from outside the gate, causing many who had started back to turn around, observing from the side.

Who were they looking for?

Three people entered the gate, one man and two women, one of whom was an elderly lady.

"Director Chen? Are you looking for me?"

Not yet inside the house, Lin Chengyuan immediately stepped down the stairs, his eyes fleeting over the net bag in Director Chen’s hand.

Milk malt, tin of biscuits, apples?

Such heavy gifts....

Lin Chengyuan’s mind cleared a bit, they must not be for him, he was about to interject.

"Oh dear—this is the Director Chen that Chengyuan often mentions, come in, you didn’t have to bring these things!"

Lin’s mother was already reaching for the gifts, smiling ear to ear.

Nearby people felt puzzled.

Seen people giving gifts to leaders, but leaders giving gifts to subordinates?

Something feels not quite right?

"Mom—"

Lin Chengyuan called out to stop.

Director Chen’s eyes flickered with displeasure, avoiding the hand.

"Ma’am, I’m not here to see Lin Chengyuan, I’m here to see Jiang Cheng, Comrade Jiang!"
