Chapter 86 Hatred of Jin Ruolan
“You, you, you…”
When Jin Ruolan saw that Su Li was sitting in the seat of the workshop owner, she stammered for a long time and laughed wildly,
“Su Li! Lecturer Gong decided to give you the position of the special-cla.s.s lecturer. She has made the biggest mistake in her life! It seems that you are proud because of the sudden reputation. You even want to get the position of the workshop owner. Do you think you are the workshop owner?”
Su Li ignored the administrators who were stunned. She knocked at the table with her slender fingers and slowly said, “It is really unfortunate. I just take over the position of the workshop owner. You are the embroidery artificer. Don’t you know the last workshop owner?”
Cackle!
After Jin Ruolan heard the words, her laugh suddenly stopped as if a duck’s throat was locked by something. She really did not know who the last workshop owner was.
Although she enjoyed the t.i.tle of senior embroidery artificer in the embroidery workshop, she had never embroidered a piece of cloth here. Every time the workshop owner came here, she was not here. Since she didn’t have a close relations.h.i.+p with other embroidery artificers, they had never mentioned the name of the workshop owner deliberately. How could she know it?
“Gao Dahai, call the chief administrator here.” Su Li changed her sight and said, ignoring Jin Ruolan.
Gao Dahai slightly trembled and rushed out of the central hall without saying anything.
After less than two-and-a-half minutes, Su Li saw a white-haired old man coming in a hurry. When he saw Su Li, he immediately gave his salute without hesitation, “I am Jia An, the chief administrator of the embroidery workshop. I am here to salute the new workshop owner. You came from afar but I didn’t welcome you early. I am so sorry!”
As the chief administrator, Jia An knew more than the general administrator. He knew that the new workshop owner was a girl who was only fifteen years old, but her embroidery skills were even better than the old Workshop Owner Gong. It was even possible for her to create a new school to be pa.s.sed on!
Jia An would like to try his best to please such a character in the status, because he wanted to leave his name in the history books.
Su Li quickly asked Jia An to stand up and said, “Grandpa Jia, forget the rites. I belong to the younger generation and should not accept the great salute. But since Senior Gong asked me to take charge of the embroidery workshop, I should do what I am supposed to do.”
Seeing Su Li was skillful to treat people at such a young age, Jia An was relieved and said with a smile, “You are really kind. Please be bothered about the matters of the embroidery workshop later.”
Jin Ruolan was listening to the conversation between them. It seemed that she had become a statue. Was… Su Li the workshop owner? And she wanted to have her arrested and sent to the government just now.
d.a.m.ned!
Jin Ruolan only felt that everything in front of her went black and she could not wait to faint.
“Workshop owner, how did this happen?” When Jia An saw that Jin Ruolan and Yan Hongxiu were both in the central hall, he immediately felt something unusual, “It is scheduled to a.s.sess whether Embroidery Artificer Jin can become a top embroidery artificer or not today. Can we start now, workshop owner?” he said.
Su Li slightly shook her head and said, “I’m not only the workshop owner, but also the lecturer of the Qinghe Girls’ School. Jin Ruolan is my student and I know her skills in the embroidery. Compared with a top embroidery artificer, she is short of a little spirituality. Jin Ruolan, you are impulsive and treat others unjustly today. You are so impetuous. How can you embroider delicate works? Examine your thoughts for three months. You can take part in the examination when you get some repentance. Jin Ruolan, any objection?”
Jin Ruolan lowered her head and her lips were close to bleeding by biting. In the end, she relaxed suddenly and completely and said with a low voice, “It depends on the workshop owner’s decision.”
She mused for a moment and nodded slightly. She picked up the veil of the bamboo hat and said to Jia An, “Lead me to the embroidery room. Since I am here, I can’t come in vain.”
Jia An understood that Su Li would guide the embroidery artificers. He had some expectations. He ignored Jin Roulan and left the central hall with Su Li.
“My bamboo hat…”
Yan Hongxiu stood up and watched Su Li go away. She sadly whispered. Su Li really did not take herself as an outsider. It was Yan Hongxiu that took the bamboo hat and the veil here.
However, Yan Hongxiu did not detest Su Li for what she had done at all. She also felt surprised. If other people had done it, she would have scolded them.
Did she only get angry with those who were worse than her?
She wouldn’t get angry with those who were better than her, would she?
“That’s not right. The third brother is more outstanding than me, but I still scold him every day…”
Yan Hongxiu couldn’t understand. She couldn’t help but knock on her skull and left. Since nothing could be seen, she went back to her house to continue practicing the bow skills.
In a blink of an eye, only Jin Ruolan was left in the central hall.
Looking at the empty room, Jin Ruolan took out the nameplate of the senior embroiderer. She stared it for a moment and suddenly pinched it hard. Her knuckles turned white.
“Su Li, this can’t end in this way! How could such a person be the workshop owner? Really ridiculous, huh…”
Jin Ruolan chuckled, and the sound grew louder and louder and then went crazy.
In the last two days, the humiliations she had suffered from Su Li was even more than those of her life in the past ten-plus years. If she didn’t retaliate against Su Li, she wouldn’t be the daughter of the Jin Family!
In the embroidery workshop, embroidery skills were the best pa.s.s. Su Li covered her face and guided the top embroidery artificers with Jia An. Then she went to the other embroidery rooms to look around. All embroidery artificers had accepted the new workshop owner in only one afternoon. Although everyone knew she was young from her appearance, Su Li’s embroidery skills were excellent, and no one dared to talk about her behind her back.
That night, Su Li was back to school. Everything seemed to be very calm. The news that a common girl without any background became the workshop owner of the embroidery workshop was known to others through various channels.
Then there were waves of conjectures in everyone’s heart and it was uncertain that what would happen later after Su Li visited the embroidery workshop.
When Su Li was back to the school, she saw that Mei Ruohan stood in front of the gate. It seemed that she was waiting for someone.
When Mei Ruohan saw Su Li, her eyes immediately s.h.i.+ned and she quickly ran to her. She said, “Li, you finally come back. After cla.s.s, I’ve been waiting for you here. I really did not expect that I can meet you.”
Su Li hadn’t seen Mei Ruohan for a few days, so she felt warm. She said with a smile, “Why are you waiting me? Where is Guo?”
“Guo… “Mei Ruohan hesitated for a moment and finally confessed, “In order to relieve the burden on me, she did odd jobs outside the school.”
Su Li raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “Are you short of silver?”
She heard that the Mei Family was also a big family. They would not limit the spending of Mei Ruohan in the Qinghe Girls’ School.
“The silver should have been enough. “Mei Ruohan shook Su Li’s arms with a red face. She said in a spoiled manner, “Ah, do not ask me so many questions. Can you help me find an odd job?”
Su Li laughed. Maybe the girl did something impulsive and was embarra.s.sed to tell her.
However, the Linli Building was short of helpers. She had known Mei Ruohan was a clever girl in the Muyang Girls’ School. Since there was an opportunity, she had no reason to not employ her.
Pondering this, Su Li nodded and smiled, “I do know a job which is suitable for you.”
“Really? Where?”
Mei Ruohan was delighted. She just attempted to get a job from Su Li. She didn’t know other people in the Qinghe Town. It was not suitable for her to find Ning Qing. Although Su Li was the special-cla.s.s lecturer, she was young. Mei Ruohan still felt that it was more acceptable to ask Su Li for help.
“It’s a winery, but it’s not ordinary. “Su Li smiled and said, “To be a bookworm doesn’t work. If you want to be an extraordinary girl with unparalleled wisdom, you should understand the ways of the world and even the treacherousness Jianghu. Would you like to have a try?”
“An extraordinary girl with unparalleled wisdom…” Mei Ruohan’s eyes were s.h.i.+ning. She nodded and said, “If there is such an opportunity, I will have a try.”
“You won’t regret until you die, will you?”
Su Li said coldly and looked serious. Mei Ruohan was scared and her face was slightly pale. There was a kind of pa.s.sion in her eyes which was different from the fear.
“I will not regret until I die!”
Hearing the callow answer from Mei Ruohan, Su Li smiled slightly and replied gently, “Go back and wait for the news. It may take one month for me to take you there.”
Mei Ruohan nodded and then looked bitter. She said, “Li, can you lend me some silver? After I earn money from the winery, I will repay it to you.”
Su Li couldn’t help laughing and took out all her 1,000 taels of silver to Mei Ruohan without any question.
After Su Li left, Mei Ruohan’s heart was beating fast. She knew that Su Li was not an aimless person. Since she had told her, it must be something important for her to partic.i.p.ate. She had never met any danger, and she was very excited somehow.
Then Su Li’s life in the school was peaceful. She went to the book building early in the morning and until the book building was closed, she came back. At night, Su Li sat in meditation instead of sleeping. She practiced self-torture every day. Finally, she broke the bottleneck and broke into the inborn second hurdle after two weeks.
It was so fast, but Su Li was not satisfied. If the 400,000 taels had not been cost to build the winery, her cultivation would have been quadrupled in speed.
However, Su Li found that being slow also had its benefits. She read lots of books in the book building. Although they had nothing to do with the Ghost Valley Meditation Direction, they could be comprehended by a.n.a.logy and inspired her. Then she would have more inspiration about the Ghost Valley Meditation Direction.
It was worth mentioning that she had created another star one night by chance with her secret methods. The star was different from those Qi Xianqing had mentioned. Su Li could only temporarily put it aside and know it later.
“Qi Xianqing said that the potentiality of the Jupiter Star was not enough. It could not attain to a higher realm and could not be compared with many other killing star force.”
Su Li’s fingertip of the right hand created a soybean-sized green star. “But I had practiced the poison for many years in my previous life. The wood could be used for both medicines and poison. It can be used not only to save people but also kill people. But this…”
Su Li’s fingertip of the left hand shook slightly and some fluorescence appeared. Because Su Li’s sight had improved a lot after she reached the inborn realm, she could see it clearly.
“The ever-changing shapes inside are like knives, swords and all kinds of weapons in the world. The star… What on earth is it?”
Su Li was puzzled. Besides, she remembered that Qi Xianqing said one person could only comprehend one star. Why did she have two?
Was it… because of the rebirth?
Then Su Li denied the conjecture. Her practice of the Ghost Valley Meditation Direction was in a complete mess. She didn’t coordinate with secret methods, not to mention the horrible star force over the inborn.
“It seems that it is the change brought by the lower half of the Ghost Valley Meditation Direction. It is true that the practice method is more precious than I have imagined before.”
Su Li was contemplating. The realm over the inborn was simply a legend in the martial arts circle and even n.o.body saw it.
It could be said that no one in the Dahan Country was clearer about it than her. In her previous life, her practice reached to the peak of the inborn, but no matter how she had struggled, it was impossible to break through. In the end, she made a decision impulsively. It almost made her go into a dead end, but it also let her see things higher and farther.
If she practiced to the peak of the inborn and then was stimulated by the star force… Su Li was a little excited. She thought a lot at this moment but soon denied all the ideas.
To be over-ambitious was a big taboo in the practice.
