Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 179 - 9: The Real and Fake Heiress (Part 9)

Chapter 179: Chapter 9: The Real and Fake Heiress (Part 9)

Upon graduating high school, finding a job was naturally difficult; even for positions like clerical work, a university degree was required.

She went job hunting again the next day but still couldn’t find anything decent.

In desperation, Li Qinglan had to lower her expectations.

She found a job in a restaurant located in the middle of a cluster of office buildings, becoming the restaurant’s cashier.

Meanwhile, Li Yu also found a place to live. She told Li Qinglan that she saw how hard it was for her, and returning to Li Family meant no public transport at night, which would leave her stranded. Even if there were buses, it would take over an hour with transfers, making it unsafe, especially since she was a young woman.

Li Qinglan felt a bit touched; regardless, it was thoughtful of her mother to consider this, right?

Even though the rental place was still a thirty-minute bus ride from Li Qinglan’s workplace, it was much closer than going to Li Family and had more convenient transportation.

Li Yu had to wake up even earlier to visit Li Family, working tirelessly from dawn until dusk. When she wanted to stay longer in the evening, she would return home quite late.

Li Qinglan barely encountered Li Yu.

At the restaurant, however, Li Qinglan ran into Zeng Bin, the chairman from the plot.

Zeng Bin, accomplished and ambitious in youth, often visited the restaurant for meals due to his busy schedule.

That restaurant, situated in an office building area, had its unique appeal.

Each time Zeng Bin settled the bill, Li Qinglan’s heart skipped a beat, making her feel nervous and flushed.

Especially when occasionally touching Zeng Bin’s hand while taking the money, it felt electrifying to her.

However, Zeng Bin never looked at her differently, unaware that a woman in this small restaurant secretly admired him.

When work overwhelmed them occasionally, the company would have food deliveries ordered.

One busy day at the restaurant, even the owner had come out to help, as Zeng Group ordered a large quantity of food that one person couldn’t possibly deliver.

The owner asked Li Qinglan to help with the delivery.

Seeing Zeng Bin’s busy and earnest demeanor, Li Qinglan found that a serious man possessed a unique charm. She realized there was no hope for her; she had already fallen in love with this man.

Yet seeing those women surrounding Zeng Bin saddened her somewhat; this man was exceptionally outstanding, those women in their sleek suits accentuating their figures, each prettier than her.

For the first time, Li Qinglan regretted not studying hard; if she had a better education, couldn’t she also work here?

Yet there was no cure for regret.

After meeting Zeng Bin, Zeng Bin also had to visit Li Family.

Before Zeng Bin’s visit, Zhang Minrong asked Li Shuning.

"Niuniu, someone will visit us shortly, your uncle’s child. You’ll see if you like them."

In the dream, their child and Zeng Bin were clearly infatuated yet were broken up. Although disappointed Zeng Bin hadn’t sought Li Shuning, he remained outstanding.

Li Zhongguo had already told Li Shuning about everything in the dream.

Of course, Li Shuning had to pretend she knew nothing, while she was the orchestrator of the dream.

"Mom, I won’t like that person. If everything you and dad dreamed about is true, then this man is foolish. Clearly in love, when his beloved went missing, did he even search? No, he just thought he was abandoned, never considering she might be in deep trouble."

"Li Qinglan schemed against him, and he accepted it gladly; such a man I don’t like."

Zhang Minrong wanted to say more but merely sighed.

This child is too smart; recalling what she might have experienced in the dream made Zhang Minrong feel a bit of pity.

"Alright, our Niuniu is beautiful and poised, with many suitors. Zeng Bin isn’t worth it, if we don’t like him, we simply don’t."

When Zeng Bin arrived at Li Family, Li Yu welcomed him inside.

Li Yu already knew that this young man had a huge company and came from a remarkable background.

Of course, all this was not so accidentally told to her by Zhang Minrong.

Li Yu suddenly remembered, their young lady isn’t too young anymore, finding a golden husband like him would be pretty good.

Hence Li Yu showed even more enthusiasm toward Zeng Bin.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Zhang, this is a gift from my father for Uncle Li."

Zeng Bin took out a box of tea, it was of an uncommon variety, and Zeng Weisheng had gone to great lengths to acquire it.

Zeng Weisheng considered that Li Qiong was climbing the ladder and that interaction between Zeng Family and Li Family had been gradually dwindling over the years.

Moreover, knowing that Li Family had a young lady, naturally compatible with their lad.

So he wanted Zeng Bin to visit, essentially having him meet Li Niuniu, akin to a matchmaking arrangement.

Zeng Bin, upon understanding his father’s intentions, was somewhat reluctant to come.

But Li Family wasn’t ordinary folks, and since his dad already agreed with them, he couldn’t simply not show up.

Yet knowing the Li Family girl was named Li Niuniu, he found the name quite off-putting.

Thinking about recently being stared at intensely by a cashier, he found it rather irritating.

He decided not to dine at that restaurant anymore, and a few days ago, even the ordered delivery was brought by that cashier, so he wouldn’t order from the restaurant anymore.

Women were just troublesome.

But when Zeng Bin saw Li Shuning, he couldn’t help but be amazed; this lady was truly beautiful.

As the two conversed, Zeng Bin increasingly couldn’t underestimate Li Niuniu.

This young woman at just over twenty knew so much; recalling his earlier thoughts about her name, Zeng Bin felt a bit ashamed.

Zeng Bin stayed for lunch, intended to invite Li Niuniu out afterward but unexpectedly got rejected.

Zeng Bin couldn’t help but reflect, was his performance inadequate? He was rejected?

Laughing and shaking his head, oh well, there’s plenty of time ahead; he wasn’t a heartthrob able to make a girl fall for him at first sight.

If he truly wanted to pursue her, there would be plenty of opportunities.

After Zeng Bin left, Li Shuning took a book and went to the garden, sitting on a chair to read.

Li Yu quietly approached her.

"Miss, your tea."

Li Shuning glanced at Li Yu, took the rose tea, and placed it on the small table beside her without drinking it immediately.

Li Yu couldn’t hold it any longer.

"Miss, that person just now, I heard he’s the chairman of Zeng Group, so young yet achieving so much, truly remarkable. Look at his appearance; he’s also quite handsome, very suitable for our young lady."
