My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 471: Lu Youzhen Passed the Exam for the School in the Imperial Capital

"We sleep late; right now it’s only 9 PM. Very early," Lu Youxi said with a smile, "By the way, aren’t you supposed to be resting at this time?"

"No, not yet. Thanks to you, people in our village are earning more and have bought themselves mobile phones and big color TVs. They watch a lot of TV programs every night. Your uncle and I also bought new phones not long ago; they’re still a novelty to us, and we’ve been tinkering with them these past few evenings."

"Oh, how about I give your new phone a call? Let’s test out the signal strength and call quality," Lu Youxi suggested.

"Sure, sure," Aunt Lin quickly replied.

So Lu Youxi asked Aunt Lin for her mobile number, wrote it down, then made a call to Aunt Lin’s phone.

The phone had only rung twice when Aunt Lin immediately picked it up.

"Youxi, how does it sound?" Aunt Lin eagerly asked.

"Very clear," Lu Youxi replied, "This way, you can talk on the go. Even when you’re doing household chores, you can just place the phone aside and set it on speaker."

"Exactly, exactly," Aunt Lin nodded repeatedly, "I was talking to my relatives a few days ago, and I did just that—I placed the phone beside me while doing laundry. It’s incredibly convenient."

"By the way, my reason for calling you was to tell you that I heard Lu Youzhen got accepted into a school in the Imperial Capital," Aunt Lin mentioned, "Did you know about this?"

"I honestly didn’t know," said Lu Youxi, also seeming intrigued, "I remember Lu Youzhen’s studies weren’t that great. Did she buckled down this past year and make dramatic improvements?"

"Not at all; she’s been flaunting around outside daily, hardly looks like she’s been studying seriously," Aunt Lin snorted, "I haven’t seen her bother much with home duties. She’s always outside gossiping and digging into all sorts of matters, never mind studying or household chores."

"She thinks she’s pretty and knows how to dress up, but I think you are far better than her," Aunt Lin felt that even if Lu Youzhen was meticulously made up, she wasn’t as naturally pretty as Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi, even without much effort on her appearances, had a naturally beautiful foundation.

A true beauty.

Lu Youxi just smiled, affirming Aunt Lin’s compliments.

"She thinks she’s pretty. I heard that quite a few boys from her school are pursuing her, but she isn’t interested in any of them; she’s just waiting to find a wealthy man in the Imperial Capital," Aunt Lin scoffed, "It seems in Lu Youzhen’s eyes, finding relatives is like rain falling from the sky, splashing everywhere and soaking everyone."

Lu Youxi couldn’t help but chuckle at Aunt Lin’s metaphor.

Aunt Lin didn’t yet know Zhou Shuyan’s true identity.

Currently, only the village chief of Hexing Village knew. free𝑤ebnovel.com

After all, the fewer the people who know, the better; otherwise, with those folks from the Lu family, even if they couldn’t really harm her, they could still cause unnecessary troubles.

"Finding a rich man is still not as good as working hard by herself and being competent. What belongs to others will always be inferior to what you earn yourself," Aunt Lin expressed, "Look how nice it is for you—competent on your own, doing business, earning lots of money. If Xiao Zhou ever wrongs you, you can just kick him to the curb. He doesn’t earn as much as you; he has good days only by sticking with you and he better stay honest!"

Out of instinct, Lu Youxi glanced at Zhou Shuyan beside her, thinking, fortunately, she hadn’t put the phone on speaker, so Zhou Shuyan hadn’t heard this conversation.

Little did she know that the phone was leaking sound; even without speaker mode, Zhou Shuyan could hear everything clearly.

"So, which school did Lu Youzhen get into?" Lu Youxi asked again.

"It’s some Civil Aviation College in the Imperial Capital," Aunt Lin said, "Given her grades, she couldn’t get into an undergraduate program."

"She heard from somewhere that being a stewardess offers plenty of opportunities to meet wealthy men," Aunt Lin continued, "Lu Youzhen is dead set on finding a rich man in the Imperial Capital, claiming that it’s full of rich folks, and nowadays those who can afford airplane tickets are well-off, let alone those who fly business class—truly the wealthy among the wealthy."

"By becoming a stewardess, she would meet loads of rich men," Aunt Lin said, "Even her mom got fooled by her and truly believes Lu Youzhen will snag a rich man and live a cushy life."

Lu Youxi was speechless...

She hadn’t realized Lu Youzhen had such a clear life plan, albeit not a very noble one.

"Youxi, having seen much more of the world in the Imperial Capital, tell me, is it really that easy to become a stewardess? I don’t know much, but I suspect it’s not as simple as she makes it sound."

"I’m not very familiar with the stewardess profession either. Other than needing to meet certain standards for height, appearance, and professional skills, of the many students studying aviation services, surely not all can be chosen to become stewardesses."

"Moreover, there aren’t that many civil aviation flights in our country at the moment, so the demand for stewardesses is even lower. That’s why the job is so rare."

"The rarer the job, the greater the competition, and it’s not just about having excellent personal qualities and professional levels; it probably also includes a fair bit of networking," Lu Youxi explained.

"I thought so too. I have a relative not in the Imperial Capital, but still in the city, and I asked her about it; she said pretty much what you’re saying. Over there, to become a stewardess, it’s all about connections."

"They say nowadays you don’t even need an undergraduate degree to study to be a stewardess; a diploma is sufficient. The academic requirements aren’t high, the job is respectable, and it pays well. Plus, with people like Lu Youzhen who are hunting for wealthy partners, even landing a pilot as a husband isn’t bad. So, a lot of people apply to be stewardesses."

"But in their area, even if you studied for the stewardess profession and applied, to actually get in, it all boils down to connections. It’s not just about having connections, but once you secure them, you even have to bribe," Aunt Lin said, "I hear it’s not just about a little bit of money."

"Lu Youzhen, with just a decent face and nothing else—no money, no contacts, no one in her family can help her—still thinks she can become a stewardess?" Aunt Lin made no effort to hide her disdain for Lu Youzhen.

Lu Youxi remained silent, feeling oddly that Lu Youzhen might indeed find a way.

Though surely, Lu Youzhen’s methods wouldn’t be all that honorable.

"But, since Lu Youzhen managed to get into a school in the Imperial Capital, even if it’s just a diploma program, she’s studying in the Imperial Capital," Aunt Lin reminded her, "you’d better watch out."

"I think Lu Youzhen has far more bad ideas than Lu Youbang. Lu Youbang cooks up schemes because he’s educated. But I fear someone like Lu Youzhen, uneducated yet full of nasty tricks."
