    Chapter 90: Lifeless Eyes - The Daily Life of a Frail Young Woman in the Compound

    Yes, yes, you can't have such double standards!

    Seeing Lin Shu's almost defeated expression, the leader couldn't help but sneer inwardly: The papers were revised as you asked, and the results are out, just as you wanted. How come you're not satisfied now that the results are out?

    Lin Shu's face turned pale; she couldn't believe her grades were much worse than those on the posted score sheet.

    "No, this can't be right!" Lin Shu murmured.

    "Comrade, you can't act like this. The papers were revised as you asked, and now the scores are out. Your scores are fine; the top scores still belong to those four!"

    This statement hit Lin Shu like a ton of bricks!

    The investigation results are out, and there's no falsification in the scores, but Lin Shu still refuses to believe it!

    She stood there dumbfounded, still in disbelief!

    "Comrade, the results are out, and there's no issue. You should go home now. If there are more recruitment opportunities in the future, come back and take the exam again. Prepare well, and maybe next time you'll pass!" The leader advised Lin Shu to go back and not make a scene here.

    Lin Shu looked at the leader blankly, and when the leader met her gaze, he noticed her lifeless eyes. Damn, has this comrade been knocked senseless?

    No way?

    "Who is this woman's family?" What if she has a breakdown here? Better call her family to take her back quickly!

    Wang Jiaojiao glanced at Lin Qing, who looked back and asked, "What's wrong?"

    Lin Qing saw her hesitating, "You don't think Lin Shu got in because of my husband, do you?"

    "Ah, isn't that the case?" Wang Jiaojiao really thought so.

    "You're mistaken, she really didn't get in because of my husband. Lin Shu's husband also works at our machinery factory!"

    "Oh, I see!" Wang Jiaojiao finally breathed a sigh of relief!

    "Then you..." Should you go and say something?

    Before Wang Jiaojiao could finish her sentence, someone announced Lin Shu's family member.

    It turned out that since no one around answered, and the next door was the personnel office, the cadre who was watching the scene pulled out the registered files.

    "Lin Shu's family member is Jiang Yang, a fourth-grade fitter from Workshop Five."

    As soon as Jiang Yang's name was mentioned, it caused a buzz in the crowd.

    "Jiang Yang? Isn't that the..." The last few words were left unsaid in front of Lin Shu.

    "Ah, you know about it too!" Although the person next to him had also heard about it.

    "Yes, yes, so you know about it too!"

    "Of course I know, it's all over the neighborhood, okay?"

    "Hehe, didn't expect this girl to be that... tsk tsk tsk... hehe..." The speaker's expression was a bit suggestive.

    ...

    "Jiang Yang? I know him," Wang Jiaojiao suddenly said.

    Lin Qing said in surprise, "You know about it too?"

    "Of course, who in the machinery factory doesn’t know about Zhou Qin’s affair with the widow or Jiang Yang’s situation? It was the talk of the town back then!" She had heard all this from her father, as gossiping was their favorite pastime.

    "Oh, I see!" Lin Qing thought it made sense. With several aunties involved, how could Jiang Yang's matter be easily forgotten?

    The supervisor also didn’t expect that the person they identified was someone he had heard about before!

    Indeed, which employee in the factory didn’t know about Jiang Yang’s affairs? Even the supervisor had heard a bit about it!

    However, it seemed that all this was said behind his back, and Jiang Yang himself was not aware of the rumors.

    Now, seeing Lin Shu's frantic state, he breathed a sigh of relief. After the incident where a security guard’s comment unintentionally misled Zhou Qin, the factory had rarely passed on gossip to the person involved, thinking it was a good practice!

    Who could guarantee that Jiang Yang, Lin Shu’s husband, wouldn’t go just as crazy as her after hearing the gossip?

    "Someone, go get Jiang Yang from the workshop and have him take his wife home."

    The supervisor moved quickly, and so did the staff. They didn’t want to stay with a hysterical woman any longer; it was better to have her taken away quickly!

    Ten minutes later, Jiang Yang was brought before the supervisor who had issued the order.

    "Supervisor Liu, what's going on here?" Jiang Yang asked, seeing Lin Shu standing alone in an open space, looking pale.

    "Jiang Yang, it's like this. Your wife, after seeing her results this morning, kept insisting her score couldn’t be that low and that the results had been tampered with!

    As supervisors, we have to ensure fairness, so I had someone bring out the sealed test papers from the union, and I rechecked the scores of the five of them in front of everyone!

    In the end, your wife’s score was still the lowest of the five." He didn't need to say more; Jiang Yang should understand.

    Jiang Yang’s eyes narrowed. What did this mean? Did she fail?

    But Lin Shu had said she was very confident about passing?

    And this was the result?

    Seeing Jiang Yang stunned, the supervisor couldn’t help but curse inwardly: Damn, is another one losing it?

    "Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang?" The supervisor's voice was softer, afraid of accidentally provoking him.

    If another one went crazy, his heart couldn’t take it!

    "Supervisor Liu—" Jiang Yang suddenly spoke.

    "What’s wrong? What’s wrong?" There was an inexplicable sense of humility in the supervisor's tone.

    Wang Jiaojiao, since the scene was quiet, could hear the supervisor’s voice from outside and whispered to Lin Qing, "Hahaha! This supervisor is so pitiful!"

    "Yeah, yeah." Lin Qing felt the same way!

    This supervisor has it tough; Lin Shu is volatile, seemingly ready to go crazy at any moment if displeased.

    After finally piecing everything together in his mind, Jiang Yang realized that the situation wasn’t good. Lin Shu’s recent behavior must have left a bad impression on the supervisor, so he absolutely couldn’t do anything to provoke further dislike now.

    "Supervisor Liu, I understand. My wife has caused you trouble. I’ll take her home now. Thanks for your patience." Jiang Yang smiled apologetically and nodded apologetically.

    He then intended to take Lin Shu's hand and leave. With Lin Shu looking pale and dazed, and the supervisor having called him over, it was clear they wanted him to take her away!

    Once Jiang Yang and Lin Shu were gone, the supervisor and everyone in the office finally breathed a sigh of relief!
