NOVEL NEXT Chapter 39
Chapter 39: Changes in the Diary:
“Lan Yuxi, you wouldn’t want everyone to know about your cheating, would you?”
As soon as Qi Lin said this, Qi Xueyao’s diary was rewarded to him.
Late at night, Qi Lin lay on his bed and opened Qi Xueyao’s diary.
The diary still recorded events that had yet to happen.
[September 29, 2002.]
[Qi Lin, that scumbag, doesn’t respect me at all as his cousin. The way he looks at me is completely different from before.]
[I just took a box of ice cream from the fridge, and he actually scolded me! He even said that if I wanted to eat it, I should trade myself for it.]
[If I had the money to rent an apartment, I would’ve moved out already. I wouldn’t have to put up with his attitude anymore.]
After reading this passage, Qi Lin was momentarily stunned.
Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have even appeared in Qi Xueyao’s diary. After all, in his past life, his presence had been so weak that she probably never mentioned him at all.
“Could it be that the diary’s records change with reality? Because I bullied Qi Xueyao just now, she ended up writing about me in tomorrow’s diary entry?”
Suddenly, Qi Lin understood something, and a thoughtful look flickered in his dark eyes.
“Heh, getting mentioned in Qi Xueyao’s diary is actually a good start.”
“As expected, whether it’s a devoted simp or a warm-hearted nice guy, they never leave a deep impression on girls. Only those who bully them have that privilege.”
At this moment, Qi Lin felt more confident than ever that his chosen strategy was correct.
Smiling, he continued reading.
[Today, I secretly resigned from my teaching job without telling my parents. I’ve decided to start a business with Jiang Lei and carve out a new future for myself.]
[The landscape in Huaxia has changed dramatically. Material goods alone can no longer satisfy consumers. More people are studying abroad and traveling overseas.]
[Jiang Lei and I both believe that this is the perfect time to open a training institute—an English language academy. If we succeed, we might escape the small city we grew up in and step into the ranks of the upper middle class, becoming part of Huaxia’s elite.]
[But my parents must never find out.]
[They’ve lived in a small city their entire lives, always valuing stability. They want me to be a good teacher, marry someone with a stable job, and live a peaceful and uneventful life.]
[If they find out I’ve already quit, they’ll definitely be furious. They might even come to Jianghan City to drag me back home.]
[This is my one chance to change my fate. If I succeed, I can become a billionaire like Qi Lin’s family. Then, I’ll never have to put up with his arrogance again.]
[And when he finally falls from grace, I’ll make sure to humiliate him properly.]
At this point, the diary entry ended.
Qi Lin: “…”
“Damn, I never bullied you in my past life! You were the one freeloading off my family, eating our food every day. Just because my dad refused to lend you money once, you suddenly started holding a grudge against us? Your morals aren’t exactly top-tier, are they?”
Qi Lin raised his middle finger in disdain toward Qi Xueyao.
Closing the diary, a sharp glint flashed in his dark eyes.
“So she quit her teaching job behind her parents’ backs… bold move.”
Back in 2002, the older generation still held onto the idea that government jobs were the safest bet.
The last wave of mass layoffs had just passed, and nearly all parents wanted their children to secure stable employment after graduation.
Teachers, civil servants, and state-owned enterprise jobs were the most sought-after careers.
Qi Xueyao had worked hard to land a teaching position, and not just any position—she had secured a job as a public elementary school teacher in Jianghan City, a provincial capital. Yet, she had gone ahead and resigned without telling her parents.
If her parents ever found out, wouldn’t they break her legs?
“Then again, fortune favors the bold. It was precisely because she had the courage to quit her job and dive into entrepreneurship that she managed to become the queen of the education industry in my past life.”
Qi Lin’s lips curled into a smirk.
“But that was in the past. In this life, Qi Xueyao is destined to be nothing more than a plaything in my hands. I won’t give her the chance to rise.”
After finishing the diary, a plan to deal with Qi Xueyao had already begun to take shape in Qi Lin’s mind.
