Chapter 9: Attempt

Zhao Shucheng was eventually assigned to work in a magazine with Qi Weimin and started his nine-to-five life.

Magazines of this era are relatively relaxed. At least they don’t have to find celebrities to shoot covers like later generations. They don’t have to consider the current trends. Instead, they are the people who lead fashion.

Moreover, in this era, there were many people writing literature, and the magazines mainly selected some people to contribute. Of course, due to the environment, literary writing, literary evaluation, and literary reading are much more serious. Everyone's articles are also very standardized, and all articles speak by their strength, so they are also the best time for the magazines.

Qiao Yicheng also insisted on his idea of ​​taking the postgraduate entrance examination, so he reviewed at home. Occasionally, he wrote letters to Wen Juan, so that Sanli could see it and knew that his elder brother had someone he liked.

She smiled and said to Qiao Yicheng: "Brother, my second brother is very similar to yours recently, and there must be someone he likes."

Qiao Yicheng didn't believe it or worry, and said, "If Erqiang was in love, he would definitely tell me. By the way, Sanli, do you have any people you like?"

Qiao Sanli became nervous when she heard this and said, "No, I don't want to fall in love."

At first, Qiao Yicheng was a little worried. Did that incident leave any psychological shadow on Qiao Sanli, so Qiao Sanli was so reluctant to fall in love and didn’t like to contact boys.

But when Sanli suddenly blushed, she said, "Sanli, you can't think so. Actually, when you should go to date, you should go to have a chat. There are many good boys, and there are many good kids in your class, right?"

Qiao Sanli blurted out and said, "I don't like them, they are not mature and steady at all."

Qiao Yicheng immediately smiled and said, "Oh, I understand. It turns out that you like mature and steady people, but Sanli, I want to remind you that even if you like people like this, you can't have an age gap with you. Do you know?"

"Oh, brother, I won't tell you anymore, I still need to do laundry."

Qiao Yicheng looked at Qiao Sanli running out, but she became even more worried. Qiao Sanli likes mature and steady people, but it seems that there is no such person around them. Could it be...

Qiao Sanli met Qiao Simei, who was hiding aside outside. She wanted Qiao Sanli to help her. She failed her make-up exam and did not dare to let Qiao Yicheng know, so she wanted Qiao Sanli to help lie.

But when Qiao Sanli faced Qiao Yicheng, a man who was as good as a brother and father, she didn't have the courage to lie, so she told me that Qiao Simei failed the exam.

This made Qiao Yicheng very angry. There was already a Qiao Erqiang at home who was not good at studying, and now Qiao Simei is not worry-free.

"Qiao Simei! Come here."

Seeing Qiao Simei hiding in the room, he said, "Qiao Simei, I'm not angry. It's because she is not good at it. It's because she deserves it! Erqiang dropped out of school, but the old man did it privately without my consent. Do you want to learn from him, right?"

"I tell you, it's fine this time. If you fail the junior high school graduation exam, your education will be after elementary school. Good, you will be a primary school student forever! Very good, Qiao Simei, go wherever you come out."

Qiao Simei was frightened by Qiao Yicheng and said, "Brother, don't be angry. I promise to study hard in the future. There will definitely be no problem with the graduation exam. Moreover, I will also go to high school and college."

Qiao Yicheng was so angry that he laughed when he heard this. He didn't expect Qiao Simei to be admitted to high school or even to go to college. As long as he could get a junior high school diploma, it would be considered a burning fragrance.

"I don't have the confidence that you have. If you can graduate from junior high school, you will burn incense."

Qiao Simei said unconvincedly: "I will definitely go to high school, and I don't need your money."

Qiao Yicheng became even more angry when he heard this and said, "You dare to say that you don't need the family's money. Where do you get the tuition? Tell me clearly."

Qiao Simei suddenly realized that she had just been anxious and said, "Brother Zhao said that as long as my sister and I can get into high school, he will lend us money to school."

Hearing Qiao Simei's words, Qiao Yicheng was stunned for a moment. Looking at Qiao Sanli in front of him who wanted to not be angry, he asked, "Sanli, is what Simei said true?"

Qiao Sanli lowered her head and said, "Brother Zhao has indeed said that."

Qiao Yicheng couldn't help but frown. He didn't understand why Zhao Shucheng did this. Was it really an intention to his sister?

This made Qiao Yicheng nervous. His sister is still a minor girl. If Zhao Shucheng really had any bad intentions, wouldn’t it ruin their whole life?

He didn't care about teaching Qiao Simei a lesson and said to Qiao Sanli: "You two will reflect on me at home. If you let me know that after I leave, you will go out, carefully your skin."

Then he hurried to the magazine where Zhao Shucheng worked and said to the old man who was guarding the door: "Uncle, I'll find Zhao Shucheng!"

The old man looked at Qiao Yicheng and said, "Okay, wait!"

As he said that, he slowly picked up the phone and called the magazine. After saying that, he put down the phone and continued to read the newspaper.

Qiao Yicheng was a little anxious while going there, and he wanted to rush to the magazine now and ask Zhao Shucheng what it means.

Zhao Shucheng was chatting with the old staff of the magazine. When he heard someone looking for him outside, he stood up and walked out.

When he saw Qiao Yicheng waiting outside the gate, he smiled and said, "Yicheng, why are you here?"

Qiao Yicheng saw the guardian looking here curiously, and didn't want this incident to be known to everyone, and said, "I have something to look for you, let's go out and talk."

"OK!"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and agreed, fortunately, it was a magazine here, and in addition to daily work, time was relatively free. After all, you can make excuses to say that you were going out to find materials or meet contributors.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! When the two of them came to a more secluded place, Qiao Yicheng could no longer help and said, "Zhao Shucheng, have you told my sister that if they were in high school, you could support them to go to school?"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Yes, you are here for this?"

"Of course it's for this matter, what do you mean?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "This was not what happened to Sanli when she met her high school this year. She said that your father asked her to learn technology after graduating from junior high school. I think girls can't come out to work so early, so I wanted to support Sanli in completing her studies. After all, education is really important. If you can't go to high school or university, you can only be the most ordinary worker. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with workers, but since you can have a better choice, you naturally have to try it. What's more, we are all college students. You should know that after you have a higher education, there is more room for choice."

Although workers today can be said to be a strong job, Zhao Shucheng knows very well that this matter will not last for many years. In the past, they were planned economy, so factories kept earnings in drought and flood, and they didn’t have to worry about product sales. However, with the development of the economy, the planned economy has gradually transformed into a market economy, while those factories that are already accustomed to the planned economy cannot change their thinking and will be gradually eliminated by the market.

Although there is a technology that can definitely find a way out, since there is a better choice at the beginning, why not choose the hard mode instead?

Qiao Yicheng also knew that learning is important, but he was still worried that Zhao Shucheng would have other plans and said, "But even so, we can solve our family's affairs ourselves."

Zhao Shucheng said: "Of course I know this is your business, but you are going to take the postgraduate entrance examination now. In the next three years, you will not have a proper salary income. You can only do odd jobs like when you were in college. Your father should be very clear about what it looks like. He will definitely not pay Sanli's tuition, and may even have a living expenses cut off. So what do you want to do? Do you really give up the postgraduate entrance examination and accept your fate like this?"

"Actually, this money was not something I gave to Sanli or Simi, but was lent to them. After they graduated from work, they would have to pay it back to me."

Qiao Yicheng was still a little worried, but Zhao Shucheng had reached this point and he still kept chasing him. Wouldn't he judge a gentleman by his villain's heart?

"Zhao Shucheng, I don't care what you think, but my sister is still young, you can't have any other thoughts."

Zhao Shucheng laughed when he heard this and said, "Don't worry, although I am not a good person, I will not do anything to the little girl. At least I will not have any ideas before Sanli and the others graduated from university. As for the future, I will talk about it later."

Qiao Yicheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "What, I apologize to you. I was indeed a little irrational just now."

"No, you are also worried about Sanli and the others, and I can understand."

"Sanli is my sister, and I will try my best to help her, so you..."

"Needless to say, you can take care of yourself first. I know you seem to be in love recently, but why haven't you heard you mention it?"

Qiao Yicheng smiled awkwardly and said, "She is not in Jinling now. She followed her mother to the capital. We can only be considered pen pals now."

"This is not bad. Long-distance relationships are all beautiful. But you can't always convey your feelings through words. If you have the chance, you still have to go and see them. Otherwise, if you don't meet for a long time, you will forget what each other looks like. At that time, no matter how deep the relationship is, you can't stand the barrier of distance."

Qiao Yicheng punched Zhao Shucheng and said, "What are you talking about? We have a very simple relationship, so we won't be like what you said."

"I hope so!"
