Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1553: Chapter 1270:

"Alright, alright, I won’t say anything more."

After the call ended, Director Song breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Zhou Yaqing would not stay at the institute no matter what. Thinking of this, Director Song picked up the tea mug on his desk, lifted the lid, and took a sip.

When Zhou Yaqing was parachuted into the institute, he didn’t have a good impression of her, especially when he was notified to arrange her into Luo Yanqing’s project research group. At that moment, the microphone in his hand almost got slammed onto the desk.

They aren’t an ordinary unit. If someone with real talents parachuted in, it wouldn’t matter. The problem is, Researcher Zhou’s abilities are indeed quite mediocre among the young researchers at the institute.

If she worked diligently at her position, he wouldn’t mind keeping her in the institute. But Researcher Zhou just had to create trouble, unknowingly ruining her own prospects.

Well, then don’t blame the institute for wanting to exclude her!

"Why should I leave? This is my workplace, and I am definitely going in today!" Zhou Yaqing said with all her might, attempting to break into the lab. Seeing two security personnel reaching out to stop her, she couldn’t help but threaten, "If you dare touch me, I’ll accuse you of harassment!"

At this time, Director Song walked over: "Comrade Zhou Yaqing, what are you doing?"

"... Director!"

Upon hearing Director Song’s voice, Zhou Yaqing almost instantly retracted her unreasonable demeanor. Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned to look at Director Song: "These two comrades said my job relationship has been transferred. Director, can you tell me what’s going on? Since I started working here, I haven’t made any mistakes or applied for transferring my job relationship. Why am I suddenly told I can’t continue working here?"

"Come with me to the office." Director Song didn’t answer but casually said a phrase, then turned and walked away.

Seeing this, Zhou Yaqing stood there momentarily bewildered, glanced at the tightly closed laboratory door, and then started to follow Director Song.

...

"Your job relationship transfer is an arrangement made by the higher-ups."

As Zhou Yaqing appeared after entering the office, Director Song immediately spoke.

"Why?"

Zhou Yaqing’s eyes were blurred by tears.

"Perhaps the new job position suits Comrade Zhou Yaqing better." Director Song’s answer was very formal.

"No, it’s not like that. Director, you’re lying to me!"

Entering this unit was the result of her family’s thorough consideration to make the best job choice for her, and it was her grandma who repeatedly begged her uncle to help squeeze her in.

Now, how could there be another job position more suitable for her?

Zhou Yaqing didn’t believe Director Song’s words. She reflected on the recent happenings in her life, wondering if she had offended someone, causing them to sabotage her, leading to losing her current job.

But thinking it over, except for the quarrel with the old woman Shen Yun at lunch today at the cafeteria, she hadn’t done anything else out of line recently.

Could it be... Could it be that the old woman Shen Yun is playing dirty tricks on her?

As her thoughts swirled to this, Zhou Yaqing asked Director Song: "Director, is my job relationship transfer related to Teacher Shen?"

"Comrade Zhou Yaqing, I have said your job relationship transfer is an arrangement made by the higher-ups. Please do not fabricate assumptions here."

Director Song had a stern face: "All procedures have been completed. You are to bring your documents directly to the HR department of the new unit for reporting. The deadline is by noon tomorrow."

"Xiao Qing, grandma has pleaded, but it was of no use. Can you be obedient?"

Old Lady Zhou felt very distressed hearing her granddaughter’s cries, but she was truly powerless, and couldn’t help but continue advising Zhou Yaqing earnestly: "The job at the research institute is too tough. From the very beginning, grandma didn’t approve of you becoming a researcher, but it was your parents who insisted that the job is good. Now that your job relationship has been transferred, grandma feels there’s nothing wrong with it."

Zhou Yaqing asked through tears, "Grandma, you truly don’t intend to ask uncle for help again?"

"It’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s that your uncle refuses to help with this favor. Xiao Qing, you know, grandma and your uncle aren’t blood-related siblings. If we hadn’t rarely troubled your uncle over these years,

previously when your parents wanted to get you into the research institute, requesting grandma to beg your uncle, your uncle might not have helped with that favor. Now that your job relationship has been transferred, there must be a reason within yourself. I’ve said a lot of good words to your uncle over the phone, asking him to help once more, but your uncle’s attitude was clear, saying he can’t help..."

Before Old Lady Zhou on the other end could finish speaking, the phone was hung up abruptly with a "bang" by Zhou Yaqing.

"Director, since I’m about to leave our institute, can you tell me, is the transfer of my job relationship due to the incident where I fought with Teacher Shen during lunch?"

Zhou Yaqing overturned her previous assumptions, believing that Shen Yun and even the Shen family weren’t capable enough to influence the higher-ups to transfer her job relationship.

Moreover, her transfer is definite, most likely having a connection with the institute itself.

"Comrade Zhou Yaqing, I think you should understand that regarding your inquiry, I have the right to refuse to respond and no obligation to answer you."

Director Song’s face was stern, showing a business-like attitude.

"I understand now, even if you don’t say, I’m quite clear at this moment—the transfer of my job relationship must be related to the incident during lunch."

In a deeper sense, it’s related to her own little intentions.

Luo Yanqing, the institute’s top talent, the youngest Academician, with outstanding appearance and particularly charismatic.

In just one glance, upon entering the research institute, participating in Luo Yanqing’s project team, she fell deeply in love with him with just one look. Even knowing he has a family, she hasn’t given up on harboring secret intentions, and thus she often interacts with him through work.

She must be quite bothersome to him, otherwise, he wouldn’t ignore her in matters beyond work.

At this moment, Zhou Yaqing regretted fighting with Shen Yun at lunch today.

Honestly, without much thought, she knew the negative impact it had.

And the institute likely took this incident to transfer her, to avoid her persistently pestering Luo Yanqing.

Realizing the crux of the whole situation, Zhou Yaqing simply decided to let it all go, facing Director Song: "Academician Luo is your goddaughter’s husband, Director Song. This time I was transferred, your personal interest surely played a part. As for what this personal interest is,

Director Song, you know very well. But I may as well tell you, even if I’ve been transferred, my affection for Luo Yanqing will not change, and I believe sincerity breaks through barriers. Just you wait, someday, Luo Yanqing will no longer be your goddaughter’s husband."

She didn’t immediately report to the new unit after leaving the institute but went straight home instead.

"You didn’t report to the new unit?"

At the moment, only Old Lady Zhou was home, and seeing Zhou Yaqing coming into the living room with her luggage, she asked outright.

"I don’t want to talk right now."

Zhou Yanqing threw her luggage in the living room, then slumped onto the sofa without any image.

"Child, why do you have such a big temper?" Old Lady Zhou was a bit displeased: "I told you over the phone, it’s not that grandma didn’t try to help, it’s that grandma asked your uncle without success, it’s your uncle who doesn’t want to do this favor now, looking at your current demeanor, are you blaming me, this old lady?"
