Chapter 5

Zhou Mei’s husband died when she was young, and she had been working hard to raise her only daughter all these years.

She had devoted her whole life to her daughter.

She had lived a simple life for so long, and now she was willing to go on a blind date with the Director, it was actually for Zhou Shuang’s job.

The next batch of down-to-the-country policies had already been issued.

If Zhou Shuang didn’t have a job, she would be sent to the countryside.

Zhou Mei couldn’t sit still.

Even if it meant losing face in her old age, she had to get a job for her daughter.

However, the Directorwas smitten with the beauty, but he didn’t have the guts to pull strings for Zhou Mei.

After all, he was about to retire, if he made a mistake at the last minute…

The consequences were not something he could bear.

But now Lu Yunxiang was taking the initiative to sell the job to Zhou Shuang.

It was the best of both worlds.

He could curry favor with Zhou Mei.

Maybe he could even make a match.

The Directorpretended to be deep in thought and said, “If it’s Zhou Shuang, the second-place scorer, she does meet the standards. In that case, I’ll have someone call Zhou Mei over, you can talk face-to-face.”

Soon, Zhou Mei arrived.

Zhou Mei was wearing a faded white dress, simple and clean.

Although time had left its mark on her, her face was still beautiful.

There were faint crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes, they were the composure and calmness after weathering storms.

Lu Yunxiang walked directly in front of Zhou Mei.

“Aunt Zhou, I want to sell my job to Zhou Shuang, do you want it?”

Zhou Mei’s eyes lit up.

She answered without hesitation!

“Yes!”

Then she asked cautiously, “How much do you want to sell it for?”

Zhou Mei was a widow, she raised her child alone, the Women’s Federation found her a temporary job at the factory, her monthly salary was only eighteen yuan.

Eighteen yuan, she also had to support her daughter, their lives were very tight.

She had already made up her mind.

She had a gold necklace, a relic from her mother.

This time, even if she had to sell the gold necklace, she had to secure her daughter’s job.

“Five hundred.”

Zhou Mei was stunned.

Zhou Jianguo was also stunned.

Lu Yunxiang’s job was worth eight hundred to one thousand on the market.

Zhou Mei thought she had misheard, so she asked again.

“How much did you say?”

Lu Yunxiang smiled gently.

“Five hundred, but I want to be paid in full, let the Directorbe a witness, as long as you pay this money, the job is yours.”

Zhou Mei was almost moved to tears.

“Okay, okay, okay! I’ll pay! But give me some time, I’ll go get the money.”

Five hundred yuan was much less than she expected.

But she couldn’t afford that much money at once.

She had to hurry back and sell her gold.

At this moment, the Directorcoughed.

“Cough! Comrade Zhou Mei, it takes time for you to get the money, I’ll pay for you first, you can pay me back when you get the money!”

Zhou Mei felt that the reason Lu Yunxiang was willing to sell the job to Zhou Shuang, and at such a low price, must be because the Directorhad done something.

She had told the Directorthat as long as he secured Zhou Shuang’s job, she would be willing to be with him.

Now, Zhou Shuang’s job was secured.

She didn’t need to be coy anymore.

“Thank you, Director, I’ll pay you back slowly after Zhou Shuang starts working.”

The Directorfelt Zhou Mei’s attitude soften, he was overjoyed.

You see, Zhou Mei was beautiful, many men had thoughts about her.

But she was aloof and independent, she didn’t give a second thought to those who flattered and fawned over her.

Now, Zhou Mei was willing to accept his help.

[Ding! Changed Zhou Jianguo’s fate, merit +50]

[Ding! Changed Zhou Mei’s fate, merit +50]

[Ding! Changed Zhou Shuang’s fate, merit +200]

Lu Yunxiang was puzzled, how did she get unexpected merit?

The system gave her an explanation.

[Zhou Jianguo and Zhou Mei’s fates have been changed, the merit is yours.]

Lu Yunxiang understood.

In her previous life, Su Wenyuan became the Director, he used his power to help Yang Qingxue, unintentionally causing the death of a child.

The child’s father was a fanatic.

At that time, Su Wenyuan was on a business trip, he couldn’t find Su Wenyuan.

So he went to Zhou Jianguo, why did he give the Directorposition to the young Su Wenyuan?

So on the way home, he stabbed Zhou Jianguo.

Zhou Jianguo miraculously survived, but he was paralyzed for life.

Did this mean that Su Wenyuan wouldn’t become the Director?

Lu Yunxiang was very happy.

This was her goal.

She not only wanted Su Wenyuan to not become the Director, she also wanted to destroy Su Wenyuan’s job.

The source of Zhou Mei’s merit was also a change of fate.

In her previous life, Zhou Shuang went to the countryside, she was forced to marry a farmer, and died in childbirth.

Zhou Mei had only one daughter, Zhou Shuang, to save her daughter from the abyss, she sold everything she could, but Zhou Shuang still died.

In the end, Zhou Mei also went insane and disappeared from people’s sight.

Lu Yunxiang asked the system.

“If changing someone’s fate is fifty merit points, why is Zhou Shuang two hundred?”

[Because Zhou Shuang will become an excellent people’s teacher, she will teach and educate people, she will bring out many outstanding people, and contribute to the country.]

Lu Yunxiang understood.

Zhou Jianguo and Zhou Mei’s fates were changed, they would live ordinary lives, so their merit points were 50.

But Zhou Shuang not only had her fate changed, she also made contributions in her later life, so her merit points were 200.

This was the merit derived from Zhou Shuang as a person.

“According to what you said, I also saved the little girl who was killed by Su Wenyuan, why doesn’t it count as merit?”

[Host, the system is connected to your brain. It calculates merit based on what your brain recognizes.]

Lu Yunxiang understood, the previous [Spy] and [Good Person], because she didn’t know them, so those were their labels.

So when she got the merit in the end, it was for catching spies and saving important people…

But Zhou Shuang and the others were because she knew them, so it directly recognized their names.

Lu Yunxiang, with five hundred yuan in her pocket, was happily preparing to leave.

But as she reached the factory gate, a figure rushed towards her and grabbed her arm.

“Lu Yunxiang, come on, let’s go do the job handover!”

It was Yang Lili.
