The results of the second mock examination were released very quickly. Since Qiao Mei did not participate, Wu Duo and the other three students took the top four spots among their cohort. Many people were very jealous and wanted to be Qiao Mei’s fifth student.
Every time Qiao Mei came to school, she would be surrounded by a big crowd. Even after school, she would also be surrounded by many people. Everyone wanted to ask one more question, as if asking one more question could improve their scores.
Qiao Mei really did not want to be surrounded by people every day as it was very suffocating. All she could hear was people shouting out questions. After discussing it with the school, she finally got her wish when Yan Xi agreed to give her a one month break. She could rest at home and recuperate in peace.
The college entrance examination had been brought forward. In her other life, the college entrance examination was usually held at the beginning of June, but since this was the first year after resumption, no one really had any idea about what was going on.
The Education Department had informed everyone that the examination would be held in the last week of December over three days and they would be tested on all nine subjects.
It was October now, so there was still some time before the examination. Qiao
Mei was not worried at all. The students in her tuition class also did not feel any pressure at all. They were all full of confidence to face this college entrance examination, especially Wu Duo. He looked as if he was determined to rank second in the city.
Qiao Mei found it very boring to stay at home. Every day, she either took care of the children or pottered around in the courtyard. Suddenly, she remembered that she had a house in Lian City which she had not seen yet!
She immediately packed her things so that she could take advantage of the cool weather and go to Lian City to take a look. She asked Xia Wen for the keys to the house and set off. This time round, she did not go out alone. In order to reward Qian’e for her conscientious work in the factory, Qiao Mei brought her along for a vacation.
“You live a carefree life outside every day and do whatever you want. You’ve completely stopped caring about factory matters. Do you know what kind of life I lead every day! Do you still have a conscience! Has your conscience been eaten by the dogs?” Qian’e said as she looked at Qiao Mei angrily.
“Of course I think about you all the time! Does Manager Qian feel that life is too tough? If it’s too tiring to manage the factory. do von want me to find someone else to manage it?” Qiao Mei looked at Qian’e and asked jokingly.
“Shoo, shoo, shoo. I haven’t earned enough money yet! Let me tell you, I recently bought a courtyard house next to your house. The layout is exactly the same as yours. I want to get Brother Deng Fan to renovate it for me! But he’s really too busy. Can you let me jump the queue so that he can renovate the house for me first. Or give him a break so that he doesn’t have to keep worrying about the experimental field,” Qian’e asked.
Qiao Mei shook her head and said, “It’s not as if you don’t know that this experimental field is funded by the country. If we mess it up, it’s the country that will be embarrassed, not our factory. Haven’t you noticed that our factory’s business has been especially good recently? That’s all because of the experimental field! When everyone sees that we are working with the government, they all want to do business with us because they think that we are about to become a state-owned company.”
“Then do you want the factory to be state-owned? Recently, many people tried to ask me this question, but I didn’t answer them. 1 want to hear your opinion first. It’s not my decision to make,” Qian’e probed.
Qiao Mei said firmly, “That’s impossible. I don’t want it to become a state-owned factory. That would reduce our profit. Although we don’t have to worry about being short of workers anymore, the quality of many things needs to be very high. With our current standard, it’s impossible for us to achieve that. When the time comes, you won’t be the only one who has to work non-stop in the factory all year round. 1 will even have to go back and work!”
“At the end of the day, you’re just saying that it’s too troublesome! You just want to enjoy life at home!” Qian’e said.
“Who doesn’t like to enjoy life? My children are still so young. There’s one more on the way, so I don’t have any energy left for the factory. If there’s nothing important, you can solve it yourself. There’s no need to ask me. I’m now bringing you on a free trip to relax! You have to thank me properly!” Qiao Mei said.
“Oh please. Just drive properly. I totally deserve this vacation! Don’t change your mind! As for what you said, I’ll consider it. I’d better issue a notice in the next two days to stop the people in the factory from letting their imagination run wild,” Qian’e said.
Qiao Mei just smiled. Qian’e had indeed contributed a lot to the factory. Qiao Mei even wanted to give some of her shares to Qian’e..
