A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

When she got home from school and entered the living room, she saw Sha Yanyao sitting there looking at her with a serious face. When he saw Gui'er, he waved at her and asked her to come over.

Gui'er walked forward, and Sha Yanyao took out a piece of paper and handed it to her, saying, "The doorman saw it this morning and told me that I thought you must be broke right now. You did a great job in this matter and helped me a lot, and Jinbao as well, so I went to redeem Jinbao. This is her indenture."

This was completely beyond Gui'er's expectations. She was still very happy and said to Sha Yanyao with a smile, "Thank you, brother."

Sha Yanyao smiled and looked around. Neither his wife nor Song Tingting were around. Then he said to Gui'er, "No one else knows about this. I've noticed too. Jinbao is different from Yulan. Let's not make this public. Let's find a way to place her after this is over."

Gui'er nodded. She now thought that Sha Yanyao was an extremely complicated person. Sometimes he was gentle and polite, sometimes he was cowardly, and sometimes he was cruel and ruthless. Now he even redeemed Jinbao in private. However, she was still very grateful to him for this matter.

Back in the room, Gui'er asked Dingxiang to call Jinbao. After Dingxiang left, she said to her, "The madam of your old brothel came to see me this morning."

When Jinbao heard this, he became very nervous and stammered, "She, what did she say?"

Gui'er said, "If we want to take you back, we have to ask for your redemption. I didn't have that much money at the moment, so I let her go first. But don't worry, my eldest brother was there at the time and happened to know about this. He paid privately to redeem you. This is your indenture, and I'm returning it to you now. Please dispose of it and don't let anyone else find out."

Jin Bao was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He trembled as he took the indenture and said, "I will never forget the great kindness you have shown me."

Gui'er smiled and said, "Jinbao, don't think like that. You weren't born there. You were framed and forced to go there. Don't mention this to anyone from now on, okay?"

Jin Bao nodded, smiling with tears in his eyes, and a little sadly, he said to Gui Er: "Now that I am free, I have to find a job and a job. First, I can support myself, and second, I still have to slowly pay back the redemption money to the young master."

Gui'er was pleased that she thought so, but in those days, there weren't many jobs available for women. So she asked Jinbao, "What are your plans? You're not that old yet, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to find a job."

Jin Bao thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter much. When my father ran a foreign company, I especially liked to go to his office and play. I know everything there, such as typing, accounting, and calculations. I also know a few foreign company owners who had cooperative relationships with my father at the time. It's just that my mother was down and out at the time, but they ignored me when I asked for help from her. Later, I was in a quagmire again. If I asked them for help then, they might not help me. Now they are all big. I think with the help of our family, I can get a job in their foreign company. It shouldn't be difficult. I just need you to ask my eldest brother for help again."

When Gui'er heard this, she felt that Jinbao was quite smart and knew how to take advantage of the situation. Especially in such a dark era, it was a good idea to use the power of others to gain a bigger advantage.

She nodded and said, "Okay, but Director Zhou's matter is not settled yet. You can wait a little longer and keep an eye out for a specific position you want to apply for. Then I can tell my brother. Since he is willing to pay 100 silver dollars to redeem you, he should be happy to do you a small favor."

Jinbao thanked him again and again with great joy before going back.

The lady tried every possible way, and finally ran to the door of the agency to meet Director Tian by chance, and finally invited Director Tian to visit her house.

After it was implemented, my wife attached great importance to it and made a special phone call to tell the Marshal about it. The Marshal was very happy when he heard about it and allocated a sum of money to this side.

She didn't know how much money was given, but Gui'er was extremely surprised to receive her monthly allowance after a long time. She originally thought that even if the lady got the money, it would have nothing to do with her, and the savings she had on hand would be enough for her to live frugally.

In order to welcome Director Tian as a guest, the Sha Mansion held a particularly grand ceremony, even more grand than the Chinese New Year. The wife even bought some flowers to decorate the living room.

Song Tingting sighed and said, "Director Tian looks like a country bumpkin. How can he have any elegant taste? He still wastes money on these things.

Madam said, "Even if he doesn't understand, we can't give up. This is related to whether our case can be dropped. Otherwise, if it drags on like this, what will happen to Yan Yao's future? Do you want your eldest brother to be locked up forever?"

Gui'er was very happy that the lady was so active in pushing this matter forward, because she also wanted Song Xichen to come out quickly, but she felt that it would not be that easy. Since Director Tian had someone with backing, he probably would not let him go just because of a meal.

She said to her wife, "Mother, since we finally managed to invite Director Tian over, we have to seize the opportunity. You've had contact with him before. What kind of person is he? Would he agree to do this just because of a meal? Director Zhou made a big deal about it back then. You've had so much trouble getting him to agree now. I'm worried he might have some ideas."

The wife fell silent when she heard this, so she urgently went to inquire about Director Tian's resume over the years. It turned out that he was indeed a ruthless character, similar to Director Zhou. The only difference was that he seemed to be more ruthless towards the underground party.

After receiving this news, everyone became uneasy, but there was nothing they could do because they had already invited the guest and the time was set.

The wife said anxiously to Sha Yanyao and Gui'er, "What should we do? We're facing a tiger at the front door and a wolf at the back door."

Gui'er said, "I wonder where Mother got this information from? Is it reliable?"

The lady frowned and said, "It should be reliable, because it was your father who asked someone to find out."

Gui'er thought for a moment and said, "Did Father tell us how to entertain Director Tian? Since he's coming to our house for dinner as a good friend of Father's, why not ask Father what we should do?"

The lady was a little hesitant after hearing this. Gui'er felt puzzled. These two people were obviously husband and wife, so why did they seem so unfamiliar with each other? Only then did she remember that she seemed to have never seen the lady and the Marshal being particularly close before.
