Chapter 381: Independent Women Have a Hard Time and Need to Use Others’ Strengths to Fight Against O

Ye Zhi's words contain a lot of information.

Jiang Baige quickly chewed the charcoal-grilled pork neck in her mouth, took out her cell phone and checked the latest exams.

"Is it the postgraduate examination?"

"Yes, I quit my job and didn't want to look for a job right away. One day, I suddenly had an idea and decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination!"

Jiang Baige made a bold guess: "Didn't you tell your parents about your resignation?"

"Of course!" Ye Zhi lowered her voice, as if she was a little ashamed. "I went to work in another place, and the money I made wasn't much more than at home. I also had to rent a house by myself. I couldn't save much money throughout the year. My parents had urged me to go home a long time ago..."

"Blind date and marriage?"

Ye Zhi smiled and nodded. It seemed like an unspoken code among the girls: if they didn't make something of themselves outside, they would have to go home and get married.

However, if you study for a master's degree, you can delay it for a few more years.

"I'm not really against getting married, but... Senior, you know that I used to only like Lu Tian. Those who came to date me... were all monsters! I would like to date them, but they are ugly and I can't accept them physically. It can't be my fault..."

This tone can be said to be very aggrieved.

"It's really not your fault." Jiang Baige covered her face and laughed wildly.

Lu Tian is good for nothing, but he does have a face.

She understands that it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

"Then did your parents still say that you have too high standards? If you continue like this, you will only be picked by others after you turn 30?"

Ye Zhi nodded rapidly: "How can it be considered as having high standards to like handsome guys? I don't want him to earn a million a month."

At this point, Ye Zhi suddenly leaned her head in front of Jiang Baige and asked in a low voice: "Lu Tian should be able to earn this much in the entertainment industry, right?"

Jiang Baige didn’t dare to say what Lu Tian was like in the past.

But in the future... unless he has big capital, it will be difficult for him to earn this amount.

But Jiang Baige didn't want to talk about this: "What's wrong, do you want to go back to your ex?"

"That's not the case. It's just... isn't it difficult to go from extravagant to frugal? I just have to let my parents know that I used to deal in luxury goods."

"What kind of luxury is a man?" Jiang Baige blinked her eyes. "Freedom, money, ideals, career... Which one is not more valuable than a man?"

"Hey, you're right."

Ye Zhi supported her chin, not knowing what she was thinking.

"I really envy you, senior. You have a decent job with five social insurances and one housing fund, and your writing career is also flourishing... I heard that selling copyrights is very profitable. And not everyone can do it."

Jiang Baige said modestly: "That's not it. As long as you write, there will definitely be a result."

"No, you are awesome. Perhaps, only people like you are qualified to say 'independence'."

Jiang Baige didn't like to hear this.

She remembered what Han Li had said to her before.

"Xiaozhi, what do you think independence is? Is it that I can be self-sufficient in life, or can I escape unscathed from online bullying?

“That’s what you saw. In places you didn’t see, I got a lot of help from many people. Some helped me investigate inside information, some represented me in lawsuits, some hired internet trolls and bought trending searches for me, and some spoke for me for free…

"As for the publishing and adaptation rights of my novels, I didn't negotiate them myself, but many friends helped me to make connections. For example, you know Jingchai, right? She wrote the preface for my book because we are friends in private, not because my novels are really that good...

"Xiaozhi, now you know that I relied on many people to get to this point. Do you think I am not independent?"

"No," Ye Zhi blurted out, "You just relied on various forces, but this does not affect you as an independent person."

"Yes. So it's the same for you, Xiaozhi. You got into college with your own ability, found a job in another place, and when you felt things weren't going well at work, you bravely quit your job, took the postgraduate entrance exam, and chose your own path. Isn't that independent? God, I think you are much more independent than me!"

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

"I'm so happy to hear you say that." Ye Zhi intertwined her hands, indicating her nervousness. "Ever since I decided to quit my job and prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, I've been feeling very nervous. I don't know if I've done the right thing... After the exam yesterday, I was actually a little devastated, so I wanted to come here to relax."

"So how confident are you about this postgraduate entrance examination?"

Ye Zhi shook her head: "I'm not sure actually. Although it's not a very good school, it's in Anjing after all, so the score line shouldn't be very low."

"What would you think if you didn't pass the exam?"

Jiang Baige didn't want to ask, fearing that she would be pressured. But the words came out of her mouth. She couldn't take them back, so she had to bite the bullet and look at Ye Zhi.

Fortunately, Ye Zhi didn't show too much rejection, and shrugged: "Why think so much."

"Have you ever thought about what to do if it doesn't work?" Jiang Baige clapped his hands, "That's great, it means this thing can work!"

Her action made Ye Zhi laugh, and the heavy atmosphere just now dissipated.

Because Ye Zhi would stay in Anjing for a few days, Ye Zhi took the initiative to offer to be Jiang Baige's lunch partner. Jiang Baige was more than happy to accept the offer, and the two hit it off. Jiang Baige tried all the restaurants nearby that he wanted to eat at. During the short lunch time, Ye Zhi listened to Jiang Baige's help in clearing her inner doubts. Jiang Baige was also very happy that someone was willing to listen to her long speeches.

This is what she tries to avoid when writing novels: readers come to read novels for entertainment, not to take classes, and too much preaching will bore readers.

Ye Zhi said, "Really? I feel like it's like listening to heavenly music. This may be because you are not writing a novel, or it may be because I don't take your words as a sermon."

Jiang Baige prayed silently in her heart: Ye Zhi, you must pass the exam and come to Anjing!

The day Ye Zhi left Anjing was a Sunday, and Jiang Baige got up early to see her off.

Looking at Jiang Baige waving at her outside the glass window of the train station, Ye Zhi suddenly felt back to many years ago when she went to Lin University to find Lu Tian for the first time. The two parted unhappily, but Lu Tian knew that she was angry and felt sorry, so he came to see her off. She chose to forgive him, and they reconciled at the train station.

She didn't know that her lover at that time had fallen in love with someone else and was indecisive about her. She just felt that the boy who was gazing at her reluctantly was so precious.

So I quietly treasured that scene in my memory.

But now, Lu Tian's appearance gradually disappeared from her sight, and was replaced by Jiang Baige - to be precise, her voice and the words she said.

She said to her: No matter what others say, I believe in you. You have chosen the life you have now, which means you deserve such freedom and are capable of shouldering this choice.

On the return train, Ye Zhi found the anti-epidemic article that Jiang Baige was serializing and recharged her account.

She seldom read online literature, but she wanted to know how the person who spoke those new words to her would write a novel.
