After finding out that Tong Xuelu would not be helping her with an introduction, Tan Xiaoyan returned to her normal haughty self where she would look down at others with her nose up in the air.
Tong Xuelu couldn’t be bothered by her. She was fine with getting along amicably as long as Tan Xiaoyan didn’t try things.
In addition to her own responsibilities, Tong Xuelu would also help Chef Meng rinse vegetables. In return, Chef Meng would always give Tong Xuelu a full scoop of meat during mealtimes.
When it came to Tan Xiaoyan, however, Chef Meng would have an epileptic seizure and shake so much that there were only 2 – 3 slices of meat left.
Tan Xiaoyan was infuriated every time, but this was Chef Meng they were talking about. Nevermind that Liu Dongchang was no longer backing her. Even in the past, there was nothing that Liu Dongchang could do when it came to Chef Meng.
All Tan Xiaoyan had wanted and expected that day was to teach Tong Xuelu a lesson. However, Tong Xuelu had turned the tables, and things had ended the way that they did.
Now Liu Dongchang ignored her, and all the others at the government-operated restaurant also ignored her. She felt like she was being ostracized.
The government-operated restaurant quieted down again after lunch.
Tong Xuelu pulled out the junior high school textbooks to read.
She had taken the University Entrance Examination prior to her transmigration, but the content between then and now was all different. Not to mention that it had been a few years already, and she had already returned all of her knowledge to her teachers.
Once the University Entrance Examination returns next year, it would, similarly, be divided into art and science categories. Mandatory subjects were literature, mathematics, and political science.
For the art category, there were additions of history and geography, while physics and chemistry were included in the science category.
Tong Xuelu was aiming for the science category.
She was better at the science category between the two divisions, and that was also what she had picked in her previous life.
She opened up the mathematics textbook for junior high school and glanced through the chapters quickly.
The questions were not difficult. In fact, they were extremely simple compared to what they were like in the future. Mathematics, in particular, had a lot of convoluted traps that were difficult to avoid.
Nevertheless, it had been a long time already since she studied, so Tong Xuelu had forgotten a lot about how to solve the problems. Luckily, she had the background, and the things that she learned before returned slowly as she looked through the questions.
As the saying goes, worn-out pens work better than good memories. She pulled out her notebook and pen and started writing down some important formulas.
Both the notebook and pen were from Wen Rugui. He had given them to her along with the textbooks.
She only noticed them when she was organizing the textbooks the other day.
She felt that she owed Wen Rugui more and more. She would need to think about what to give him to repay some of them.
Waving her head, she put her attention back on her studies.
It was very quiet in the dining hall, and occasional vegetable chopping sounds could be heard. That was from Guo Weiping practicing cutting carrots.
Tong Xuelu studied the formulas seriously. Beams of the sun coming in through the window shone on her warmly and turned her hair into a golden color.
That was what Fang Wenyuan saw when he walked in with a group of colleagues.
The light came in at an angle, and specks of dust could be seen dancing in the air. Sitting at the table with her head resting on her palm, half of Tong Xuelu’s body was basking in the sun, while the other half was hidden in the shadow.
It was quiet and lovely.
Fang Wenyuan almost didn’t recognize that it was her.
From his memory, Tong Xuelu had always been a loud person. She was even aggressive and sharp-tongued at the hospital cafeteria the other day and thoroughly embarrassed him.
He had never seen the calm side of her.
But what was she doing here?
Didn’t she go and become a garment factory worker in Yuanqing Province?
Noticing that Fang Wenyuan was dazed, a coworker of his looked over and said, “Hey. Is that what’s-her-name from the other day?”
Another coworker also looked over. “I know her. She is Fang Wenyuan’s fiancée!”
