Chapter 73 Job Application Form

Machinery Factory

Before Gu Yihan even reached her office, she could hear Tang Jiaojiao crying in the hallway. When she opened the door, she saw that Tang Jiaojiao's eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Gu Yihan walked straight to her seat and sat down. She turned to Sister Li and whispered, "Did the person you like get married again?"

Sister Li suppressed a laugh, looking at Gu Yihan without saying a word. She couldn't be blamed for overthinking; Tang Jiaojiao had only ever cried in the office because of her feelings for Liu Yang.

Tang Jiaojiao was spoiled growing up, and only her love life caused her any trouble.

"Hiccup, ugh... My best friend, whom I grew up with, is talking badly about me behind my back."

Gu Yihan: "..."

Okay, I was being narrow-minded. Is it really worth Tang Jiaojiao crying like this?

Gu Yihan was busy with her own affairs because she wasn't sure how long it would take for Lu Huailin to finish his business.

As the saying goes, "a monk rings the bell for a day, but the work still needs to be completed on time."

Tang Jiaojiao saw that Gu Yihan had entered the room without even asking her anything, and the little girl's stubbornness kicked in again.

With a tearful, aggrieved voice, she said, "Xiao Han, what if someone talks badly about you behind your back?"

Gu Yihan frowned and looked at Tang Jiaojiao, saying, "You're asking me?"

Tang Jiaojiao's eyes were as clear as Silly Spore's: "Yes, we're about the same age, and I think I only know how to get along with them."

Gu Yihan laughed when she heard Tang Jiaojiao's words: "I don't know about your situation. Of course, I'll pretend I don't know when others talk about me behind my back."

"Why? Aren't you sad?" Tang Jiaojiao asked in confusion.

Seeing that everyone in the office was looking at her, Gu Yihan smiled and said, "Because a thousand people hate the blessed, and a thousand people hate the unblessed."

Tang Jiaojiao was shocked by this statement: "There's such a saying?"

While busy with her work, Gu Yihan said, "Who doesn't talk about others behind their backs? As long as they don't say it to your face, why bother?"

"Only those who are inferior to you in every way will resent you. Since you know their temperament, keep your distance."

Tang Jiaojiao looked at Gu Yihan and sobbed, "Then all my crying was for nothing. My eyes are all swollen, boohoo... I feel so bad. I've been so good to her."

Sister Li couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing: "Haha, ha..."

Sister Li couldn't help but laugh, clutching her stomach: "Comrade Tang Jiaojiao, you're just too idle. After you get married, even the best of friends will gradually drift apart."

Sister Zhang nodded without saying anything, clearly agreeing with Sister Li's point of view.

Liu Yang is a gay man, and he simply cannot understand why a woman can be so heartbroken so suddenly.

For several days in a row, Gu Yihan went to work during the day and went home in the evening to pack up her belongings, sending out everything that needed to be sent away.

She puts everything she can't send into her space. She can't bear to kill the old hens at home; they lay eggs very frequently. She'll put them into her space when she leaves.

Gu Yihan stood in the courtyard, looking at the house she had lived in for several years. She was prepared to leave it as it was; she couldn't bear to get rid of it, and it was close to Kuncheng anyway.

Early the next morning

Before leaving, Gu Yihan looked at Mao Mao and said, "Mao Mao, you stay home and watch the house. Don't go to the machine factory today."

Mao Mao was unhappy, turned its back to Gu Yihan, and stopped wagging its tail, letting it droop down.

Gu Yihan stroked Mao Mao's head.

He said, “There are blankets, food, and other things we’ve bought over the years in the house. You have to keep an eye on them, or someone will steal them.”

Watching Mao Mao slowly walk to its nest and lie down, Gu Yihan had no choice but to prepare in advance, not knowing when Lu Huailin would arrive.

Without Mao Mao by her side, Gu Yihan felt that the road to the machinery factory was quite long.

"Little Gu?" Ma Chao from the HR department caught up with Gu Yihan.

Gu Yihan turned her head to look at Ma Chao and said, "Good morning, Ma Chao!"

Ma Chao took Gu Yihan's arm: "Little Gu, I have a cousin who's a technician at our factory, he..."

Gu Yihan quickly interrupted Ma Chao, smiling as she looked at her: "Little Ma, I'm married."

"Married? I've never heard of it," Ma Chao said in surprise.

Gu Yihan took the opportunity to pull her arm away and looked at the other person: "My husband is a soldier."

After hearing this, Ma Chao didn't mention her cousin again. The two remained silent for a while before arriving at the office building.

As soon as Gu Yihan went upstairs, she saw Secretary Su smiling at her from afar.

Secretary Su looked at Gu Yihan with a professional smile and said, "Comrade Gu, Director Luo is looking for you."

Gu Yihan followed Secretary Su directly to Director Luo's office.

Seeing that Director Luo was looking her up and down, Gu Yihan walked straight to his desk and said with a smile, "Director Luo, you wanted to see me?"

Factory Director Luo nodded, took out a piece of paper from the left drawer and handed it to Gu Yihan, saying, "This is the employment form for Kuncheng Textile Factory."

Gu Yihan took the employment form with both hands, glanced at the time, and realized she still had time.

Factory Director Luo looked at Gu Yihan and laughed heartily, saying, "I didn't expect that kid Lu Huailin to get his marriage certificate so quickly. Being a military wife isn't easy; you have to be mentally prepared."

He then added, "As long as Uncle Luo is still at the machine factory, you can come back anytime. Go to the textile factory over there and do a good job. Don't bring shame to our machine factory."

Gu Yihan politely said to Factory Director Luo, "Thank you, Uncle Luo."

Back in her office, Gu Yihan began packing her things into her handbag.

"Sister Zhang, I heard from HR that two accountants will be transferred from the county machinery factory tomorrow. Why is there an extra person?" Sister Li asked in confusion.

"I don't know." Sister Zhang herself was worried; she didn't want some unknown person to put pressure on her.

Gu Yihan looked at everyone and said, "I won't be coming tomorrow."

Tang Jiaojiao looked at Gu Yihan and exclaimed, "Aren't you coming?"

Everyone in the office stared at Gu Yihan, waiting for her to say what she would say next.

Gu Yihan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "I'm married and need to accompany the military."

Tang Jiaojiao immediately got up and ran to Gu Yihan's side, hugging her: "Serving in the army? That's quite a rank."

“I also want to marry a soldier, but my mother disagrees, saying that I can’t stand the hardships of being a military wife.”

Sister Li laughed when she heard Tang Jiaojiao's words. She liked Liu Yang last time, but now she wants to marry a soldier.

Liu Yang: "..."

Gu Yihan took out White Rabbit milk candies that she had prepared in advance from her handbag and gave a few pieces to each person: "To share the joy."

After getting off work, Gu Yihan left quickly, worried about Mao Mao.

As soon as she entered Liushu Hutong, she saw Lu Huailin standing at the door, smiling at her.

Gu Yihan walked quickly towards Lu Huailin: "Why are you back?"

Lu Huailin stared intently at Gu Yihan and said, "I'm not comfortable with you going by yourself."

Over the next two days, Lu Huailin helped Gu Yihan pack up everything that needed to be mailed from home and sent it to the post office to be sent to Kunming.
