Chapter 951: Chapter 939: Qiao Jing Resolves to Find Out Who She Really Is
A week later was the assessment date set by Xu Hongzu. To successfully enter the institute and work there, it depended on whether I could pass the assessment.
So, in the following days, Qiao Jing carried around books on agriculture no matter where she went, studying them anytime and anywhere.
At first, Qiao Jing felt that this field’s knowledge was quite unfamiliar.
But after flipping through one or two books, it was like she suddenly had an epiphany; she found the books very easy to understand, as if dusty memories had suddenly been awakened. There was no need to deliberately memorize them; they naturally became integrated.
At this moment, Qiao Jing was sitting at the desk in her room, with books she had read over the past few days stacked on the table—more than thirty to forty volumes.
She picked up one casually, flipping through it thoughtfully.
Why was she so knowledgeable about agriculture?
Could it be that before she lost her memory, she was engaged in agriculture?
If so, how was her medical skill explained?
She had actually been investigating the events before her amnesia, but because the Qiao Family’s resources were limited, it was difficult to find any useful clues in a short time...
"Knock knock—"
A knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Qiao Jing’s thoughts.
Soon after, the door opened, and Qiao Hong entered the room with a cup of warm milk.
"Xiao Jing, you’re working too hard. It’s already quite late. Drink this cup of milk first and get some rest. Staying up late is bad for your health, especially since you just recovered from a serious illness. Without proper rest, you could easily get sick."
As she spoke, Qiao Hong handed the milk to Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing took it, a slight smile on her lips, and said, "Thank you for your concern, eldest sister. I’ll take good care of myself and won’t let myself get sick."
Qiao Hong glanced at the pile of agricultural books on the desk and couldn’t help but gasp.
So many books—just looking at them is enough to make her head spin, let alone reading and studying them!
She asked with some doubt, "Xiao Jing, you’ve got only one week for all these books. Are you sure you can manage it?"
Qiao Jing took a sip of milk and said slowly, "I’ll do my best to try and pass the assessment."
Back then, Elder Xu mentioned that some basic agricultural knowledge would be tested, but she had already finished with the basics, taking less than fifteen minutes in total.
What she was reading now were more in-depth subjects.
The deeper she delved, the more she discovered a genuine love for agriculture!
Qiao Hong could also see her inexplicable passion for agriculture, prompting her to ask, "Isn’t Master Zhou taking you as his disciple on your mind?"
Qiao Jing didn’t directly answer but spoke truthfully, "My true passion is for agriculture; as for medical skills, I’m not so interested."
Hearing her response, Qiao Hong naturally understood her choice.
"Then I’ll leave you be, finish the milk and get to bed early."
With that, Qiao Hong intended to turn and leave.
Suddenly, Qiao Jing thought of something and called out, "Eldest sister, wait a moment!"
"What is it?" Qiao Hong paused, a look of confusion on her face.
Qiao Jing pursed her lips slightly and then inquired, "Do you know any organization that can help investigate certain matters?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Hong was momentarily stunned but quickly guessed what it might be about.
She looked at Qiao Jing and asked in return, "Are you looking to investigate your past life?"
Qiao Jing nodded, implying affirmation.
She then raised her hand to touch her abdomen and said in a tone not easily interpreted, "I know I was pregnant and gave birth to a child at the time. That’s also the main reason for my previous poor health. That’s why I want to find out what exactly happened back then."
Though surprised to learn that Qiao Jing had discovered her past pregnancy, Qiao Hong was not entirely shocked.
Although they had never spoken of it, their Xiao Jing, being chosen by Master Zhou as a potential disciple with excellent medical skills, could have easily discovered it while self-diagnosing. It wasn’t surprising at all.
After a moment of silence, Qiao Hong asked, "What will you do once you find out?"
Qiao Jing shook her head faintly, "I don’t know yet. I’m not thinking that far ahead. I just want to know if my child is still alive."
After she finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence.
A moment later, Qiao Hong said, "I happen to know of an organization called SURV. You can post missions on their website, and it’s said that they have a very high completion rate."
Hearing this, Qiao Jing became quite eager.
At this point, Qiao Hong added, "However, if you want to post a mission with SURV, you’ll need a considerable commission..."
Pausing here, Qiao Hong patted Qiao Jing’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, just tell me how much you need, and I’ll figure out a way to help you."
These words warmed Qiao Jing’s heart, and she said with a light smile, "Thank you, eldest sister. Let me check first; if needed, I’ll reach out to you."
"No need for thanks; there’s no such need between us sisters."
Qiao Hong waved it off with her hand, smiling, "Alright, I’m heading back to my room now. Remember not to stay up too late!"
"Okay," Qiao Jing responded.
After Qiao Hong left, she immediately turned on her computer and logged onto the SURV organization’s website.
Indeed, as Qiao Hong said, the commission for posting missions was exceptionally high.
Moreover, the missions are classified into five levels: A, B, C, D, and S.
The higher the level, the higher the required commission, but correspondingly, the time to completion would be shorter, and the success rate greater.
The S level is the highest level, requiring a commission of fifty million!
Qiao Jing stared at the computer screen, contemplating a myriad of thoughts.
Fifty million—Qiao Family could come up with it, but that would be all the liquidity on Qiao Family Company’s books. Once this money was used, if it couldn’t be recovered in time, it might lead to cash flow problems for the company.
Though she knew that as long as she asked, Qiao Family members would agree without hesitation, she couldn’t just disregard the Qiao Family Company’s survival and spend the money to post a mission. That was something she couldn’t do...
However, was there a way to quickly earn a substantial amount of money?
Qiao Jing searched online and concluded that the best way was—stock market investment!
So, she casually researched the current stock market and surprisingly found trading stocks surprisingly simple, with a sort of intuition guiding her!
Resolving firmly, Qiao Jing went to find Qiao Hong the next morning.
"Eldest sister, can I borrow some money?"
Instead of asking if she could, Qiao Hong asked directly, "How much do you need?"
Qiao Jing thought for a moment, then held up a slender finger, "One million."
Qiao Hong froze for a moment, a hint of doubt on her face, "One million? Isn’t that not enough?"
Having talked about it yesterday, Qiao Hong instinctively thought Qiao Jing needed the money to post a mission with the SURV organization.
But to post a mission, one million was far from enough!
