Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!

After all, the male protagonist needs to go through a storm to grow up.

The current Zhang Shuci is nothing compared to Lin Gao, who has struggled alone in society for more than a decade after being murdered in his early years. Zhang Shuci is like a little prince living in a castle.

Moreover, after Director Zhang had his child in his old age and passed away, Zhang Shuci was immersed in the pain of losing his closest relative and lost all his fighting spirit.

"Later, it’s the protagonist’s aura that shines bright, plus the female lead catches the villain’s handle, reports his early crimes of selling coal resources, and then, when Lin Gao’s own people betray him, he is completely defeated under both internal and external pressure."

Jiang Lai could roughly guess the plot direction.

Lin Gao is a totally tragic character in this book. If you erase the protagonist’s aura and step into the female lead’s first-person perspective to look closely at Lin Gao’s story, he’s actually another Jiang Lai.

After his mother married his father, who was then a cadre at the steel plant, Lin Gao was born.

During this time, Lin Gao’s grandfather was already the deputy director of the steel plant and later naturally ascended to the position of director.

With the superior living conditions, Lin’s mother immediately thought of supporting her own family, with the best candidate being her own brother.

Thus, the current Director Zhang successfully entered the steel plant as a minor leader.

Later, with Lin’s mother’s support, Director Zhang continuously expanded his power.

Until finally, when the old director passed away and Lin Gao’s father was about to replace him as director, an accident happened.

A fire broke out in the Lin Family, burning the couple to death in their sleep.

The surviving young Lin Gao was choked mute.

He was too young, so naturally, his uncle became his closest family member and naturally took over the position of director of the steel plant.

After that, Lin Gao escaped from that home.

Grandpa Lin’s former glory gradually faded with time, leaving only sighs and regrets among those who remembered these events.

Lin Gao should have had a carefree life but instead became a street rogue, with a sharp face and a rebellious streak, wandering around the city’s corners with a group of similarly orphaned children.

Looking at Zhang Shuci, his father already held a major position in the plant when he was born. He later grew up under the aura of a director’s son, receiving the highest education and enjoying the finest life.

"The most ridiculous thing is, the house the Zhang Family is living in now used to belong to the Lin Family. Lin Gao’s ancestors were high-ranking officials; as the times developed, Lin Gao’s great-grandfather bought that mansion in the best location, and now that house is under national protection."

Lin Gao wanders outside, while his uncle’s family helps him enjoy it.

So it’s said he is another Jiang Lai.

His mother, prone to supporting her brother unjustly, escalated him to a position threatening the entire family.

Now the brother has completely replaced the generations of effort from the Lin Family, and as for Lin Gao, he is not stupid; of course, he knows there’s something fishy about his parents’ death.

So he has been lying low, pretending to be deaf and dumb for so long.

Jiang Lai sees Lin Gao’s life as if reading another novel.

She has a slightly rebellious nature, enjoying stories where villains make a comeback, so she’s very willing to lend a helping hand to Lin Gao.

In the original plot, didn’t he rely on leveraging Zhang’s Director’s weaknesses, forcing him into a frenzy that led to his death?

This progression could be pushed a bit further.

"Jiang Lai, why do you look so creepy when you smile?"

"Because there are too many good shows to watch next."

——

The grade of food at the state-owned restaurant keeps rising, not only updating the ordinary dishes in the hall, but also the high-end dishes specifically for entertaining distinguished guests.

Because of this, more and more people come to the state-owned restaurant’s private rooms to eat, and occasionally you can see some familiar faces.

From the director’s mouth, Jiang Lai learned that those were leaders from nearby coal and steel factories.

After all, the food at the steel plant’s restaurant is known to turn even dragon meat into a pot of innards.

"Hey! These people have picky mouths. The food at the steel plant’s restaurant isn’t good, so they sneak over to our restaurant to eat. But guests are guests, there’s no reason not to serve them. They even booked a table for the afternoon, the deputy director of the coal plant is coming, show them what you got and let them see something new."

Jiang Lai nodded.

In the evening, a group came in through the back door, and Jiang Lai stood by the window, noticing a familiar figure behind the deputy director of the coal plant.

After everyone inside finished eating, Jiang Lai left after work, and sure enough, Lin Gao was standing outside again.

"Did you come to our restaurant for dinner today?"

Lin Gao nodded, not avoiding it at all.

"I didn’t expect it; you seem to have some skills. No wonder you can get so much coal, turns out you have good relations with the coal plant leaders."

Lin Gao lowered his head, hesitated a bit but still made a gesture.

[He’s a relative, I’m helping him now]

Jiang Lai nodded without asking further.

Lin Gao is capable, able to use every available network and resource, and in a few months, he’s already very different from the first time they met.

He’s grown taller, his physique is more robust than before, and his once gaunt cheeks have filled out, reducing the coldness and adding warmth.

At that time, other people came out from the restaurant, assistants who helped out, and upon seeing Jiang Lai and Lin Gao, they immediately turned as if not seeing them and walked away.

Seeing this, Lin Gao cautiously looked at Jiang Lai.

Seeing no displeasure on her face, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

[I’ll walk you home]

When they arrived at the doorstep, Jiang Lai didn’t go in directly but stood on the threshold looking at him.

"Why do you keep walking me home?"

Lin Gao hung his head, remaining silent.

"You never speak, just follow me. As a young girl, I dare not say much, but have you considered that following me like this could affect my chances of finding someone?"

Lin Gao looked up, his fingers unconsciously clenching the hem of his clothing.

He stared at Jiang Lai, as if surprised by her words.

[If you don’t like it, I won’t follow you next time]

Jiang Lai was nearly amused by him.

"Alright, then don’t follow me next time. When it got dark after work, I wasn’t used to walking alone, but now I am. I can go home alone now.

Fine, go back. Don’t come tomorrow, do what you should do."

With that, Jiang Lai took a tin box from her pocket and handed it to him.

"This is a return gift for the scarf you gave me last time, go back."

In the darkness, Lin Gao’s slouched silhouette looked like a wounded big dog.

But his hand tightly clutched the tin box Jiang Lai gave, afraid of losing it, and at a corner, he tucked it into his pocket.
