Chapter 108: Investigating the Class

  Thanks 111aaaabbb and bl doll for pink votes, wish you a happy New Year's Day in advance, muah muah.

  Upon hearing these words about Meng Kang, Song Jie thought back to her life in her previous incarnation, a life that was truly austere and difficult, unlike this one where she had space as her backing.

  In her previous life, she grew up in an orphanage from a young age. It's not that all children are like angels; some can be even more cruel than adults.

  For a pen, a notebook, or even a piece of cake, they would fight. Song Jie was young and didn't understand these things at first, often had her things snatched away and didn't dare to speak out, the more she was like this, the more she was forced to grow up.

  After growing up, the orphanage will no longer bear your tuition fees, and you have to go out to work and earn money by yourself. She has also sold stalls and washed dishes for people. This life is looking for business opportunities, that's why she earns so much money.

  In the past, all sorts of goods were on display, even if it was just a one-day stall, not much money could be made. Song Jie could deeply understand the feeling of not being able to make enough money for tuition fees.

  I didn't expect Meng Kang's burden to be so heavy, compared to Song Jie who is almost like a delicate flower.

  Even if these rumors are not true, they may not be far from the truth. Meng Kang is not stupid and seems to have put all his energy into living.

  As for Meng Kang's diligent study, Song Jie has been watching him with admiration and always wants to help him. If Zhang Yang knew about it, he would say that she is too soft-hearted again.

  However, when one is poor, one should cultivate oneself; when one is successful, one should help others. Now that she has a lot of money, her food and clothing are not lacking, all these are the insights from space and the previous life that have brought to her, all these are unexpected blessings, why can't they be used to do a small good deed?

  She believes that heaven won't give her these benefits for no reason, and it's always right to have a kind heart. Besides, it's just a simple effort, but it can change someone's fate. Why not do it?

  It's not like she's pretending to be kind or a saint, if they don't meet then that's it, but since they did meet, they should help out a bit.

  Song Jie also went to Meng Kang's stall and took a look. The mother and son were selling wontons and some breakfast food, but there were very few customers at noon, and it seemed that they wouldn't make much money.

  When something like this happens, I naturally have to find my all-powerful uncle-in-law.

  Zhao Tong started working just a week after the wedding, and it was really too much to handle. He couldn't be careless about it. At that time, there was no mention of a honeymoon trip, so his sister-in-law Yu Qian naturally didn't say anything either.

  It's been a long time since she last strolled around, Song Jie walked slowly along the street, although she now has her own bicycle, but she still loves the feeling of walking alongside the road.

  Watching the pedestrians rushing by, smelling the fresh air, everything is so quiet. It won't be long before this place becomes a fast-paced city too. Every year that passes will become history, and I don't know if there will be another chance to appreciate all of this again.

  Tired from walking, Song Jie got on a bus and headed towards Zhao Tong's company.

  Walking up to a five-story tall building, looking up: the words "Xin Tong Electronics" are engraved on a shiny golden signboard, majestic.

  Since Zhao Tong's business expanded, he bought this building and made it the headquarters of his company. He also hired some high-level talents, making it more formalized.

  As she walked into the building, Song Jie was stopped by the receptionist: "Little girl, you can't go in."

  Song Jie stopped in her tracks and asked, "Why?" This receptionist looked like a newcomer, but she had been here before and knew that she was Zhao's niece. No one stopped her.

  For some reason, Song Jie suddenly had a bit of an evil taste and wanted to tease that little waiter.

  "Our company has a rule, without the company's logo and without an appointment, no guests are allowed in. Who are you looking for? You can wait on the sofa in the hall." Liu Yue said politely to the receptionist.

  "Really? I'm looking for your general manager Zhao Tong, can you ask him for me?"

  "Little girl, do you have an appointment? Otherwise, the manager won't see you."

  Song Jie laughed and said: "You guys are Zhao Manager is my uncle, you call internal line to ask about it! My name is Song Jie."

  Liu Yue was stunned. Was she going to turn away the manager's relatives? She didn't know if she would be fired. With a conflicted heart, Liu Yue dialed Secretary Wu's phone number, and after connecting, it turned out that she was indeed Zhao Tong's niece, and it was Secretary Wu who had come down to pick her up personally.

  Liu Yue's heart was also unsure whether it was regret or fear. This job wasn't easy to find. The pay was high and not tiring, considering her junior college education, she was lucky to have found such a job, so should she just give it up that easily?

  Should I apologize to that little girl? Liu Yue was indecisive, and beside her was another attendant, Xiao Man, who was an old man. He usually looked down on Liu Yue, but this time he didn't even mention it when he saw Song Jie arrive.

  "Who can't afford to offend? Don't you know? What kind of eyes are those, waiting to be cooked into squid balls!" Xiaoman was delighted at the misfortune.

  Liu Yue bit her lip, and suddenly a surge of stubbornness burst out in her heart. She didn't do anything wrong, why should she apologize? She wouldn't apologize, even if it meant losing her job.

  "Hmph!" Xiaoman looked at this sulky gourd again and didn't make a sound, giving a cold laugh.

  Song Jie followed and went up to the fifth floor, turned left and the second room was Zhao Tong's office.

  Song Jie knocked on the door with a "bang bang bang" sound. "Please come in!" Zhao Tong's voice rang out.

  Pushing open the door crack, Song Jie poked out a small head to look inside, and saw Zhao Tong wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, bending down to review documents. Hearing no movement at the door, he raised his head.

  "What's taking you so long? What are you doing standing outside the door?" Zhao Tong scolded lightly, and anyone could hear the amusement in his voice.

  "Little uncle." Song Jie hastily walked in through the door.

  "How do you have time to come over? Aren't you supposed to be studying with your study group?"

  "I'm not that busy, I'll come and help Auntie take a look if you're hiding a beauty here."

  "Still a little spy!" Zhao Tong smiled lightly, "Speak up, there must be something going on, otherwise you wouldn't have come, do I not know you?"

  Song Jie stuck out her tongue and made a face, telling Meng Kang's story briefly.

  Zhao Tong said after listening: "What should I do? I will investigate this matter. If it's really difficult, helping out is no big deal. I'll take care of it."

  "That little uncle of yours mustn't abuse his power for personal gain, if it can't be done then forget it." Song Jie was considering Zhao Tong's interests again.

  "I know what to do, do I need you to teach me?" Zhao Tong said with a sneer.

  "I'm relieved then, Little Uncle. I was blocked at the door when I came in earlier!" Song Jie said, recalling what had just happened.

  "Oh, so how do you want to punish her?" Zhao Tong thought Song Jie was reporting on someone.

  "Of course... we must reward her." Song Jie drawled, "Where can you find such a good employee? We must reward her to set an example for the future. We can't relax our standards because of personal issues. A big tree rots from within."

  "Ah, you're still so clever and capable, no wonder you're our little genius. Alright, I'll listen to you." Zhao Tong had also thought this was a good idea, and it was an easy decision to make anyway.

  Song Jie rolled her eyes, knowing it was going to be like this.

  "Alright, stop grumbling about me in your heart. Let's have lunch together this afternoon, I just so happen to have an urgent matter to attend to and won't be able to return," said Zhao Tong.

  "Alright, I've got nothing on either." Song Jie sat down on the sofa beside him and began flipping through a magazine.

  Zhao Tong also started working with his head down, and they all became busy with their own tasks.

  "Rumbling" Song Jie's stomach woke up, startling Zhao Tong who was concentrating. Zhao Tong looked up and saw that it was already past 11 o'clock, "It's time, let's go eat."

  Song Jie, who had been starving for a long time, quickly nodded in agreement, and the two of them went downstairs together.

  When she walked into the hall, the receptionist had not yet finished work. Liu Yue saw that the general manager and the little girl were coming down, and her face suddenly turned pale. After all, she was reluctant to give up this job, and the faint hope in her heart was extinguished.

  Song Jie's eyes are really good, she can see that the little girl is scared at a glance. She deliberately walked past Liu Yue and said, "Well done!"

  Liu Yue thought she was hallucinating, staring at Song Jie's back and couldn't withdraw her gaze.

  Xiao Man, who was standing aside, didn't hear clearly what Song Jie said and thought it wasn't anything good. Looking at Liu Yue with even more schadenfreude, she almost pointed her nose at Liu Yue and said: "Why don't you just resign voluntarily!"

  When they went out, the two of them had lunch at a nearby restaurant. The restaurant was not big, but it was very clean and the food tasted good. It's unknown where Zhao Tong heard about this restaurant from.

  Seeing Song Jie eating with a frown, Zhao Tong thought the food was not to her taste and hastily asked: "Aren't these all your favorite dishes? What's wrong with them?"

  "No..." Song Jie expressed her own doubts.

  This made Zhao Tong burst out laughing. Song Jie was always like a little adult, but in the end, she was still young, and he hadn't expected such an interesting question.

  "This isn't easy, with so many employees below me. I'll just ask the secretary and after a few meals, it will be clear." After finishing speaking, she couldn't stop smiling, it was rare to see Song Jie in such an awkward situation.

  "Eat!" Song Jie's face turned red with embarrassment, she had simply never thought of it before, how could she mock someone like that...

  Zhao Tong saw that Song Jie was a bit annoyed, so he quickly lowered his head to eat his rice. In his heart, however, he thought that when he got back tonight, he must tell Yu Qian about it and let her have a good laugh too.

  After finishing lunch, Song Jie also had nothing to do, so she told Zhao Tong that she wanted to go for a walk around, and after Zhao Tong gave her some money, he let her go. Although he knew that Song Jie had her own money, he still wanted to give her more, as Song Jie was someone he had watched grow up, and was no different from his own daughter.

  Zhao Tong returned to the company and went back to work. He remembered what Song Jie had said about the receptionist, so he called over his secretary, Wu Jie, to ask her name and told her to notify HR that she would be getting a raise this month.

  When Liu Yue received the notice in the afternoon, she was almost stunned by this pie. She didn't expect the company's leadership to be so open-minded, which further solidified her confidence in this company.

  No one would have thought that this newcomer Liu Yue would later become a high-ranking executive in the company, and even more so, become Zhao Tong's right-hand man.

  It all started with this small matter, who would have thought of what happened later?
