Chapter 393 Yin Mingzhu’s Thoughts [Request for Full Order]

Yin Mingzhu turned sideways and looked at her best sister’s sad face. She couldn’t imagine that the other party was once a talented woman from Yan University who was as famous as herself. This seemingly complicated but actually simple problem, was there any need to worry about it?
“Hey, sister, do you think too highly of yourself?”

“Your mother needs you to be her mouthpiece, not to make the decision or reject her on behalf of someone else. Now that we are clear about our positions, why are you still struggling?”

Xu Siqi looked a little confused and said: “Yes, why am I still struggling?”

Yin Mingzhu knew that her good sister only vaguely understood what she was saying, so she patiently said, “Think about it carefully. This whole thing is actually very easy to resolve, because you can just tell that guy exactly what you said and let him decide for himself.”

“If he needs advertising, he will naturally contact your mother. If he doesn’t need it, then you don’t need to speak for your mother and be humble in front of that guy to please him. Just treat him as an ordinary customer, and as his secretary, you have fulfilled your secretary’s responsibilities, isn’t that enough?”

As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly. The qualities displayed by Yin Mingzhu at this moment seem to make her even more suitable for the job of secretary than her good sister.

Xu Siqi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and said bitterly: “It seems that I was really a little confused because of anger. Thank you Sister Mingzhu, I know what to do now.”

She actually had some things on her mind, but she didn’t say them all out loud.

Of course, this is also her little secret.

Moreover, this secret concerns her boss. When she found out that her third uncle might have been deceived, and that there was a conspiracy against her third uncle in the contract, five years might not be the road to her third uncle’s success, but might also be the road to the end of his career.

But she couldn’t say.

Once it is said, it will definitely have a very bad impact on the boss.

Moreover, my third uncle might not appreciate it, and might even suspect that I was in cahoots with the boss and was deliberately trying to trick him in the contract.

Believe it or not, in the end, you will be the one who suffers. Your angry and humiliated third uncle will definitely bring up the old matter again and persuade your mother to capture you and arrange a political marriage that will be beneficial to both the Du and Xu families.

Is she really that stupid?

While having dinner in the evening, Xu Siqi had been thinking about this problem all the time, until her mother came to her and asked her to use her current identity to bring benefits to her mother so that her mother could gain a foothold in the provincial TV station, she finally came to her senses.

It turns out that the family affection that I have always cared about is actually just like that.

Even my mother took advantage of me.

But I am still hesitating, feeling guilty, and struggling over whether I should sacrifice my own interests to remind my third uncle. Isn’t that ridiculous?
However, no matter what, if my third uncle was cheated, I could pretend that I knew nothing, but what if my mother was also cheated?
Although my mother broke my heart, how could I help outsiders and harm my mother?

She can’t.

Although what her best friend said just now was correct, she was still very conflicted about whether or not to help her mother convey this message, because she had no idea what kind of person her boss was. What if her boss didn’t care about her feelings at all, and just after cheating her third uncle, he turned around and cheated her mother? At that time, she would be caught in the middle. What should she do?
I am afraid that when that time comes, I will be the most helpless in my life.

So she didn’t want to see that day at all. The best way was to not introduce the advertisement for her mother’s company to any TV station except the provincial TV station where her mother worked. She sternly rejected this “backdoor” deal.

“Sister, what kind of person do you think my boss, no, Lu Yang, is he?”

Calling that guy “boss” in front of her sisters would make her look particularly guilty, so after thinking it over, Xu Siqi decided to just call him by his name.

She turned sideways and looked at this person with sharp eyes. She came from afar and took a train for two days and two nights to see her best friend.

Although her best friend kept reiterating that she was just passing by, she was still very grateful, because if it weren’t for her best friend’s comfort, she might still be blowing in the cold wind by the river, and might not be able to get out of the depressed mood of being despised by her mother in the middle of the night.

Yin Mingzhu also had a lot to say to her best friend. When she heard that her best friend was finally willing to talk to her, she blinked and said, “You want to know about him?”

Xu Siqi turned her head away guiltily: “Don’t get me wrong, I just want to know more about my boss, I have no other ideas.”

The job of a secretary can be said to be the boss’s right-hand man, just like chopsticks for eating, and it really requires a deep understanding of the boss.

Seeing that her best friend didn’t even dare to look at her, Yin Mingzhu showed a look of “as expected” on her face and asked playfully, “Really?”

Xu Siqi’s breathing suddenly became rapid, and she turned her head suddenly, almost kissing her best friend mouth to mouth.

At this moment, she pouted angrily, her eyes were red, and she didn’t say a word. She just stared at her best friend’s eyes.

Yin Mingzhu burst out laughing, “I was just kidding, don’t take it seriously.”

Xu Siqi turned her head away quickly, trying hard to hold back the tears in her eyes and said, “I, I was just kidding.”

Yin Ming sighed softly, looking at her best friend’s back as she turned her head away, her shoulders swaying slightly, and her voice gradually softened, “Do you still want to listen?”

There was no response from my best friend for a long time.

Could it be that Xu Siqi fell asleep?

Not really. On the contrary, my ears are already perked up and fully open, trying their best to receive information from the outside world.

Yin Mingzhu thought about it and laughed, but in the end, she still told the story with her silver teeth: “Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a pair of twin sisters. Not only were they very beautiful, but they were also very smart and studious. The elder sister was a well-known academic master in several nearby villages, and the younger sister’s grades were not bad either. After all, they have the same blood and genes flowing in their bodies.”

“Unfortunately, God is unfair. He gave the two sisters the same appearance and the same smart brain, but he did not give them the same voice.”

With her back to her good sister, Xu Siqi couldn’t help but move her body. At this time, she almost understood what was said. It turned out that the character in the story was talking about Sister Mingzhu herself. What about the younger sister in the story?
Yin Mingzhu continued, “You may have guessed it. Yes, the younger sister is a stutterer. Even though she has the same appearance and smart brain as her elder sister, she can’t even speak clearly, so the children in the village are unwilling to play with her. They all want to play with her elder sister. In school, the situation is even worse. Without her parents around, her classmates will bully her. Although the elder sister can help her, she has no choice but to stay by her side. Over time, the younger sister began to dislike going to school, and even her grades began to decline.”

“I remember that year, my sister, who had just finished primary school, didn’t want to continue to study in the town’s middle school. She was afraid that she would be bullied even more severely in an unfamiliar environment. In fact, it was true. Her primary school classmates were just childhood playmates in the village, and everyone bullied her within a limit. But when she went to the middle school in the city…”

“After only one day, my sister said she didn’t want to go again. No matter how my parents asked her, she would just cry and cry desperately, shrinking into the corner, as if she had suffered countless grievances.”

“That year, they had just turned 12 and were in the prime of their teenage years, like budding girls.”

“That year, a boy who was a year older than them came into their lives.”

“This boy is a big brother from the same village. He is very tall and strong. Because his father died and his mother left, he had nowhere to go for food. The father of the two sisters felt sorry for him and was ready to take him in as an apprentice to teach him the carpentry skills inherited from his ancestors. During the meal, he said to the two sisters, “Girls, he has no right to pick you. Whoever is willing, please stand up. When you grow up, I will make the decision and let you get married. I will invite him to be our Yin family’s live-in man to continue the incense of our Yin family. What do you think?”

“The two sisters were still ignorant at that time. They didn’t know what a son-in-law was or what a live-in husband was. They only knew that when they grew up, one of them would be arranged by their father to marry this older brother.”

“So they were all very shy, especially the younger sister, who was timid. Plus, she had just been expelled from school and hadn’t recovered yet. She didn’t even dare to look up at the older brother.”

“And the elder sister didn’t think too much about it at the time, because she was very brave, and seeing that her younger sister was timid and didn’t dare to speak up, she volunteered to stand up…”

As Yin Mingzhu spoke, she began to laugh at herself.

After a pause of about half a minute, he finally said quietly, “No one knew at the time that this would be a bad fate.”

“After my elder brother came, this family began to undergo earth-shaking changes.”

“My little sister is going to school again.”

“Because she has the big brother backing her up, if anyone dares to laugh at her or bully her, the big brother will beat them up or block them. Even if he can’t beat them, he will beat them up even if they get bruised and swollen. Over time, no one dares to laugh at her anymore.”

“And what about my sister?”

“Of course the elder sister was very happy for her younger sister, but she later discovered that her younger sister seemed to be very close to this older brother, almost like a follower of this older brother.”

“At first, my sister didn’t think much about it, even though this big brother was actually her nominal fiancé.”

“She put all her energy into studying. Not only did she study hard herself, but she also advised the older brother to stop fighting with others and spend more time studying so that he could go to college in the future and realize his ideal value in life. Otherwise, he would have to stay in this small village all his life. What future would he have?”

“Unfortunately, the other party didn’t understand her at all and even laughed at her at one point.”

“You think I’m you?”

“You don’t have to worry about anything else. Just focus all your attention on studying.”

“and I?”

“First of all, I am just an apprentice carpenter. I eat your rice and sleep on your wooden bed. If I don’t learn carpentry and want to go to college like you, the first person who won’t agree is your father. Do you know that?”

“you do not know.”

“Also, your sister was bullied and laughed at by others. As her biological sister, you actually advised me to stop fighting with others. Are you asking me to ignore her? I’m telling you, I can’t do that. I’m not as cold-blooded as you.”

“The conversation ended in an unpleasant way, and the two young people began to go their separate ways from that moment on.”

“After my sister went back home, she cried all night. The next day, she started to study harder and told herself that everything was not worth it and no one could understand her, so she just needed to be herself.”

“It’s a pity that she had a lot more to say to that big brother during those few days, but she never had the chance to say it again.”

“The eldest brother said that they were different. He was her father’s carpenter apprentice. In addition to studying, he also had to learn from his father how to be a good carpenter. She set her goal on going to college, but he couldn’t.”

“What she actually meant was that she could ask her father for help. As long as she asked him for help, he would definitely agree. As long as she could study hard and have a promising future, she didn’t necessarily have to inherit the family’s carpentry skills. She believed that as long as they were all well and fulfilled her father’s wish, and gave birth to a child with the surname Yin, then whether or not to inherit her father’s carpentry skills was important?”

“Unfortunately, she no longer has the chance to say these words.”

“When the older brother rejected her and brought up the younger sister, accusing her of being cold-blooded and preventing him from teaching a lesson to those who dared to laugh at the younger sister, she knew there was no chance for them anymore.”

“From then on, she hid a secret in her heart. She decided to help them and help her grow up with this big brother. This would prevent her from always missing him and him from always feeling that if she left him, she would be bullied.”

“Okay, that’s the end of the story.”

Yin Mingzhu’s eyes were already moist, and tears could be vaguely seen in them.

Xu Siqi was very touched. With a tearful face, she turned her back to her best friend and said, “And then, do you regret it?”

Yin Mingzhu shifted her gaze to the incandescent light on the ceiling. The stimulating light made it difficult for her to open her eyes. For a moment, the tears in her eyes escaped from the corners of her eyes.

It flowed down her cheeks and specks of it fell onto the sheets.

Yin Mingzhu wiped it away and said, “How is that possible? Of course my sister doesn’t regret it. She once aspired to go out and see the different world and mountains and seas outside. She has succeeded now, hasn’t she?”
