As for Du Yimeng, he never dared to set his sights on her, simply because every time that woman looked at him.

She was clearly smiling, but he always felt as if she could see through him.

"As a cultured person, it's a shame for you to be a librarian. I heard that Wan Ping and Du Yimeng in the second laboratory are just technical secondary school students. Yet they can make great achievements time and time again. It's because they are lucky to be able to enter the laboratory." Old Wei said meaningfully.

The pitch-black night just covered the corners of his slightly raised mouth, and there was a wanton gleam in his eyes.

Like a hunter, waiting for his prey to step into his trap.

"Who said it wasn't! I'm also a technical secondary school student, but Director Song and Political Commissar Yang don't agree." Xiao Xie said angrily. At this moment, there was no trace of honesty on his face, only a ferocious jealousy.

When he was assigned work, he was directly assigned to the library.

At first, he didn't care. After all, he graduated from a normal secondary school and worked in a library, which was a suitable job for him.

However, ever since he learned that Wan Ping and Du Yimeng could go to other laboratories to study, his jealousy began to overflow.

He applied to be transferred to the laboratory, saying that his major was not difficult to master, and he accepted it.

If he wants to go to the laboratory and learn from them, why not?

He and Wan Ping came to the research institute at about the same time, but Wan Ping had won military merit twice. If nothing unexpected happened, the one he just applied for some time ago would be another great achievement.

And what about him?

Not to mention military merits, even their salaries haven't increased a penny. We are all human beings, why should we be treated differently?

"What a pity! It's your fault that you don't have anyone to back you up!" Old Wei said with regret.

This made Xiao Xie even angrier. Backer? Where did he get that backer?

He came from a poor family and had a hard time getting into a technical secondary school. In order to be able to go to school, he promised his parents that he would send most of his salary back home, and only then did they agree to let him continue his studies.

His salary was not high to begin with, and after deducting most of it, the remaining money was not enough for him to spend.

He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh. He knew very well what it meant to have no one to lean on in this era.

But he was unwilling to accept this. Was he going to spend his whole life in obscurity in the library just because he had no one to back him up?

No way, he secretly vowed that he must find his own opportunity and change his destiny.

"In fact, you need to find this backer by yourself. You should understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch." Old Wei said meaningfully.

Seeing that Xiao Xie's anger was provoked by him, he nodded with satisfaction. People who are brainless and irritable are easy to use.

"Old Wei, what do you mean by this?" Xiao Xie's eyes suddenly lit up, and then returned to normal.

"Every time you go to ask someone for help, you come with empty hands. Who would want to bother with you?" Old Wei said with contempt in his eyes.

Who would go to someone to ask for help by waving their big arms?

If you don't bring anything, at least you should be able to speak sweetly or something. But you didn't get any of the two, and you still want to find someone to do things for you. You're just asking for trouble.

"Where can I get the money to buy things as gifts?" Xiao Xie sighed helplessly.

"You are on good terms with that Wan Ping, so borrow some money from him to buy some gifts and give them to him. Wait until things are done. By then, your position will have been promoted and your salary will be so high, so are you still worried that you won't have money to pay him back?" Lao Wei said.

"I asked him to borrow money, but he refused." Xiao Xie said angrily. His salary was so high, what's wrong with lending him some money?

"Then you can only wait for the opportunity to fall from the sky! But I think this opportunity will not fall on you easily, so you'd better think about it carefully!" Old Wei said gloatingly.

Xiao Xie's eyes were filled with coldness, and he was secretly calculating in his heart. Although Lao Wei's words were harsh, they were not without reason.

He didn't want to live his life in mediocrity, earning a pitiful salary and being sucked dry by a family.

Sometimes he even wondered, if his whole family was gone, could he finally get rid of the burden?

He just didn't understand. Why did his parents keep having children one after another when their family was so poor?

"Old Wei, do you have any ideas? If I really go up there, I will never forget you." When Xiao Xie's eyes fell on Old Wei, his dull eyes instantly brightened.

Old Wei is uneducated, a pig farmer, old, and hunchbacked. Sometimes he's useful, though, like he's full of clever ideas.

"I don't know what to say to you. You sit on a mountain of gold every day, but you consider yourself a poor person." Old Wei said while shaking his head regretfully.

"Gold Mountain, where does the Gold Mountain come from? I'm just a librarian." Xiao Xie thought he was a smart man, but at this time he couldn't think straight.

He didn't understand what the so-called Gold Mountain that Lao Wei mentioned was.

"Wherever you stay every day, there is Jinshan." Lao Wei said meaningfully. Although he said so, he sneered in his heart.

What kind of treasures are those junks?

"You mean the materials in the library are useless. Who would want them if we take them out? Even if someone wants them, we can't take them out." After Xiao Xie realized what was going on, he immediately shook his head and refused.

The fact that the information can be obtained means that it is not valuable.

Furthermore, the institute was heavily guarded, so even if a fly flew out, the security personnel would have to check to see if it was male or female, let alone get the information out.

As for whether it will be discovered if the information is missing, this is not a problem at all.

He has the final say over the entire library, and there is room for maneuver.

For example, when borrowing books and materials, many people forget to cross out their names when returning them.

Then he will say that the books and materials have not been returned, but who can prove that they have been returned?

If things really get out of hand, he can indeed clear his name, but those people will definitely not forgive him, so he will not do this.

"Give me your things and I'll help you sell them, but I want half of the proceeds. You know my situation. I don't have much hope in this life. I just want to save some money for my retirement, so that I won't die on the roadside and be eaten by wild dogs one day." Old Wei said at the end, his tone full of sadness.

By devaluing himself like this, he was telling Xiao Xie that he was a worthless person. If he dared to tell anyone about this, they would all go to hell together.

As for why he asked for such a high price, it was because he wanted Xiao Xie to think that he was after money, and money-grubbing people are easier to control.

Xiao Xie was surprised when he heard what Lao Wei said. How could a person whose life was worthless dare to say such a thing?

Money is really a good thing. People like Lao Wei can even come up with this method for money.

"Old Wei, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. It's getting late and I have to go back." Xiao Xie said this and left without looking back.

Old Wei looked into the darkness, his eyes full of coldness.

Xiao Xie seems to be conceited, but in fact he has accomplished nothing and is as cowardly as a mouse.

The bait has been thrown out, just waiting for the fish to bite.
