Chapter 1318 This request isn't unreasonable, is it?

Upon hearing Chu Xue's words, Director Chen was incredibly grateful that he had been wise enough to have thought highly of Chu Xue back then.

Thinking that we needed a quiet place to talk, I suggested, "The Dashilan office recently opened a youth teahouse. Why don't we talk there?"

Chu Xue wasn't heartless. Even for the sake of the factory workers, she couldn't just ignore it. But she still had to put on a show and try to get some benefits for herself: "I have no objection."

Fu Yancheng was worried about Chuxue, so he naturally accompanied her throughout the entire process.

The three of them boarded the bus directly across the street and arrived in no time.

The newly opened teahouse is located west of the Qianmen Arrow Tower. It was established by the street office and is collectively owned, unlike state-owned enterprises. It was set up to provide employment for unemployed youth and to help returning educated youth find jobs. The environment inside is quite nice, suitable for discussing business. Chuxue immediately liked it. (It was actually established in June 1979, but we moved in early to use it.)

After ordering a pot of tea, Director Chen said, "Please wait a moment, I'll make a phone call and be right back."

The new factory director, Zheng, had been waiting for news from Director Chen. Upon receiving the call, he immediately stood up from his office chair: "Agree to whatever her conditions are, as long as they're not too unreasonable."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Director Chen on the other end say that they wanted to see their sincerity. He couldn't help but think to himself: What a little fox, so cunning.

She had previously learned about Comrade Xiao's family situation, and after a little thought, she said, "In this way, as long as we help resolve the order issue, we will reward you with a full-time position."

Upon hearing the factory manager's words, Director Chen hesitated for a moment: "Factory manager, what if a single job opening doesn't pique her interest?"

Factory Director Zheng raised his hand and took a puff of his cigarette: "Tell her that this job opening is a token of our sincerity. She can also make a request, and as long as it's not excessive, we'll grant it."

After hanging up the phone, Director Chen hurriedly returned to the teahouse, relayed the factory manager's message, and waited for Chu Xue's next words. His serious expression amused Chu Xue.

She had already decided what she wanted: "Director Chen, I have an affection for the factory, that's for sure. Since the leaders have shown their sincerity, and I'm not one to be pretentious, could you please get me two more tickets for electric fans? That's not an unreasonable request, is it?"

Upon hearing Chu Xue's words, Director Chen immediately made the decision: "Not at all, not at all. Then it's settled."

Chu Xue nodded slightly, glanced at Fu Yancheng beside her, and then continued, "Just let me know what you need to do next."

Director Chen quickly replied, "How about we go there now? We really can't afford to delay any longer."

There will be no problem with the first snowfall.

Fu Yancheng accompanied Chu Xue and got into the car that came to pick up Director Chen. It didn't take long for them to enter the factory.

When they arrived, the newly arrived factory director, Zheng, was already waiting.

Seeing them come in, he quickly stood up: "Comrade Xiao, we've been waiting for you."

Before Director Chen could introduce them, Factory Director Zheng had already come out from behind his desk.

Upon receiving the news, Deputy Factory Director Gu rushed over. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he made a phone call. Fortunately, there was no need to make an international call; they had an office in Shanghai, so he could communicate directly with the staff there.

Even so, the call was transferred several times until Italian was spoken on the other end. Director Chen quickly handed the phone to Chuxue.
