Director Bi looked at Chu Qiao with a smile. This honest child finally revolted. She also has He Jihong’s shortcomings.

“Chu Qiao ah, Aunt Bi supports you to work in a garment factory, we women have to be independent, earn and spend our own money. Don’t worry about getting married. Later, Aunt Bi will introduce you to a better one. You are so beautiful and still young. You can work hard first. Only after you have a good career that you can marry a better young man!”

Although Director Bi was the opposite of He Jihong, and was not a very decent person, she has a good conscience. And what she said was what Chu Qiao was truly from the bottom of her heart.

A lot of people said that no matter how well a woman did, it was not as good as marrying well. If she looked beautiful, she could marry a good man. Chu Qiao used to think this way, but now she has become sober.

There were only two kinds of women who could marry into a wealthy family. One was the daughter of a wealthy family, whose families were well-matched in social status.

The second was that the woman herself was very excellent. Even if she did not have a prominent family background, her shining points were enough for her to gain a foothold in the wealthy family.

In the previous life, Chu Qiao liked to watch the gossip news in the entertainment industry, and found that many wealthy families would not marry female stars, at most they would play as lovers. The real madam was either a wealthy family daughter, or an outstanding woman who had impressive achievements in her career. For example, a certain Olympic champion whose family was just an ordinary family, but she herself was really excellent and married into a top wealthy family. The media even described her as marrying down1.

1Marrying down : (of a woman) to marry a man of lower social status.

After marriage, the couple also loved each other very much. This Olympic champion was highly respected in her husband’s family, naturally because of her charisma and aura, which completely matched the rich and powerful young master.

It was then that Chu Qiao understood that no matter how beautiful a woman was, if she was not good enough, she would not even have the chance to know elite men, and she would not be able to enter that circle at all. So what Director Bi said was right.

“Aunt Bi, I think so too. I’m only 21 years old. I’m not in a hurry to get married. I just want to work hard and improve myself now.” Chu Qiao also told her truth. The contradictions between Director Bi and He Jihong were beneficial to her.

She wanted to take advantage of the pressure of public opinion to force He Jihong to pester her again for the time being. She would go to work in the dance hall a week later. She asked Mr. Tang to take her to see the staff dormitory. If the conditions were good, she would move out and live there. If not, she would rent a house. She would ask Mr. Tang to pay her salary in advance. Although Mr. Tang looked fierce, he was still quite nice to talk to.

After listening to these words, everyone could not help but admire Chu Qiao. This child was really honest, and she was still quite opinionated. Director Bi was particularly satisfied. She really liked Chu Qiao for being firm and for standing up for herself.

Chu Qiao’s strong-willedness meant that He Jihong couldn’t live a comfortable life. She couldn’t wait for the chaos in the Chu family everyday. Then she would come over to watch the drama and tease He Jihong a few words. She would definitely be able to eat an extra bowl of rice tonight.  

“Chu Qiao, you finally woke up. That’s it! Aunt Bi will support you, you just have to work hard. After two years, Aunt Bi will introduce you to college students!” Director Bi praised her with a thumbs up, and promised her such a good man like college students.

He Jihong in the room was going to faint. Damn it, the old bitch and the little bitch had ganged up together. The most annoying thing was the husband’s family of this surnamed Bi’s family was also in the compound. If this old bitch went back and said something bad about her, her father would definitely call her to go back for a lecture.
