The signals transmitted back from Northern Ridge were clearly received in the telegraph room of Tang Mo's factory. The rolling paper was punctured by the tapping needles, creating one clear hole after another.
Flipping open the codebook in her hand, the young apprentice who had just become the person in charge of the telegraph room was checking the page corresponding to each number.
She was serious and meticulous, pointing at the words with her finger, and after double-checking, she finally wrote down a beautiful character on the telegram paper, "You..."
"What..." Then, she continued to search through her codebook, looking for the second word.
Truth be told, her job was a bit too monotonous, but the salary was surprisingly high. Her own salary had already surpassed that of her parents, which was almost dreamlike.
A year ago, if someone had told her that there was a job where she could sit inside a house, drink hot tea every day, casually flip through a book, and copy the words inside to earn money, she would have thought the person was crazy.
But now, she was doing just that, translating the knocking patterns on a strip of paper into text...
The job was so easy that she could even read and study there, and the room Tang Mo had prepared for her was more like a study with many books, piled high with all sorts of exquisite volumes.
When the telegraph wasn't operating, she could comfortably brew herself a strong cup of tea and then quietly read any book she plucked from the shelf, feeling that it might be the best job in the world.
However, ever since that Northern Ridge countess acquired a telegraph, her workload had increased, with dozens of telegrams being sent from Northern Ridge to Brunas every day.
She was confident she could outdo over ninety percent of the girls at school, but when faced with Yulin, she couldn't help feeling a bit inferior.
There was no helping it; considering height, she was only 1.6 meters, while Yulin had reached 1.63 meters. Yulin had a typical oval face with beautiful eyes filled with brightness...
In her opinion, Yulin was, in a sense, even more beautiful than Countess Alice, because Yulin had learned Tang Mo's knowledge and surpassed the era as a genius. Since enrolling, she had never scored below 90, acknowledged as a top student by the whole school.
She also understood Tang Mo's ideas better and was very intelligent, knowledgeable, and had an exceptional memory, truly a natural-born gifted woman. If not for being born into a commoner's family, she might have become a socialite in the nobility circles.
Yulin was also very attentive at school, caring for her classmates' health and psychology, enjoyed making friends, and was nice to all the younger students... Thus, she was nicknamed "Queen" at the school.
The most crucial point... when it came to figure, she also fell short of Yulin, who might be the dream girl of half the male students in the school.
And most frustratingly, she could tell, or rather many girls could tell, that Yulin liked Tang Mo.
A girl's heart is always poetic; with a somewhat resigned sigh, the young lady in the telegraph room felt as if she heard her own heart breaking. Clenching the pen in resignation, she continued to compare, finding a new word, "See..."
"I..." Finally, when she found that word, the sentence on the paper was complete, "When will you come to see me?"
Fight on! A countess, a top student, go ahead and fight it out! In the end, I'll be the one who wins... Hehehe... Hahaha!
