After a while, he slowly raised his head, his gaze falling back on Xia Wan. After a moment of contemplation, he finally nodded slightly: "Alright, let's decide on this then! Have someone give Comrade Xia the treatment of a regular employee, but Comrade Xia must work at the factory five days a month, how about that?"

Xia Wan frowned and thought for a moment. Actually, her main concern was the points system. She originally wanted another job in the supply and marketing cooperative, but she hadn't taken the exam for that job yet. Besides, she would be taking Old Xia to get his leg treated in a few days, so she probably didn't have much of a chance for that job.

As for the food factory, it's not impossible to work there for five days each month.

Xia Wan thought a lot, but in the eyes of Director Niu and the other person, she only hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Factory Director Niu beamed with joy: "Comrade Xia, from now on, you will not only receive your normal salary and benefits, but also, for every food recipe you provide that passes inspection, our factory will give you a bonus based on its value."

Upon hearing Director Niu's words, Xia Wan's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile. She quickly expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much for your trust, leader! Please rest assured, I will work even harder and do my best to create more benefits and make greater contributions to our food factory!"

With a kind smile on his face and his eyes slightly narrowed, Director Niu looked at Xia Wan with admiration and approval in his eyes and said slowly, "Young man, as long as you are willing to work hard and conscientiously, our factory will never treat any outstanding and motivated worker unfairly!"

After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly, indicating his affirmation of what he had said.

However, at this moment, Director Niu was secretly pondering to himself. Because in a little while, he would have to bite the bullet and go to that stubborn old leader for a fierce "verbal battle".

But the thought of being able to retain such a rare talent as Xia Wan made him willing to endure the scolding, even if it meant being severely reprimanded or verbally abused by his former boss.

Just then, people around them cast envious and congratulatory glances at Director Niu and Xia Wan.

After exchanging pleasantries and a few more words, Xia Wan turned and headed towards the Human Resources Department to complete her formal onboarding procedures.

Surprisingly, Zheng Yawen, who loves to join in the fun, didn't leave and was still waiting in the personnel department.

When she saw Xia Wan return, she immediately rushed forward, her face full of anxiety, and asked in rapid succession, "Oh dear, what happened? Did something go wrong at work? Why were you gone for so long? I was so worried about you!"

Looking at her anxious friend, Xia Wan felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

She was genuinely surprised that Zheng Yawen had waited here for so long, and she could tell that the girl wasn't just there to watch the excitement, but that she truly cared about her.

So she reached out and gently patted the other person's shoulder, softly comforting them, "It is indeed about work, but it's not a bad situation. Don't worry, we'll still be good colleagues working side by side in the same factory!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yawen's eyes widened and her mouth formed a large "O" shape, showing great surprise.

It should be noted that she knew more or less about Xia Wan's family situation, including an elderly father who needed careful care.

So she was really surprised that Xia Wan finally chose to work at the factory.

Xia Wan gently shook her head, her gaze falling on Director Bai, who was talking with a colleague from the HR department. Then she parted her lips and said, "This matter is a little complicated. I'll explain it to you in detail later. I need to complete the onboarding procedures first."

Although Zheng Yawen was full of curiosity, seeing Xia Wan's serious and focused expression, she sensibly refrained from asking any further questions and simply replied, "Oh, okay, then I'll wait for you here."

After receiving Zheng Yawen's affirmative reply, Xia Wan nodded and turned to walk towards Director Bai to begin the onboarding process.

Due to the unique circumstances of her situation, Director Bai had to personally communicate and coordinate with the human resources department to ensure the smooth completion of all procedures.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yawen quietly waited in the personnel department office, and also heard clearly what Director Bai had just said.

When she looked at Xia Wan again, her eyes were filled with admiration and worship.

You know, that job in the branch factory was a highly coveted position that many people would fight tooth and nail for. However, what was unexpected was that Xia Wan not only got the job, but also enjoyed such generous benefits.

No wonder she took a liking to this friend at first sight! Xia Wan is truly amazing!

Thinking of this, Zheng Yawen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Xia Wan, you're really amazing! No wonder you said you were selling a job when I asked you to..."

"Wenwen! Don't disturb the staff's work, come sit over here for a while."

Just as Zheng Yawen was about to blurt out the whole story about selling jobs that afternoon, her words came to an abrupt halt.

Her quick-witted mother interrupted her in time, forcing her to swallow back the words she was about to say.

At that moment, Zheng Yawen was startled, realizing that she had almost made a terrible mistake.

She quickly came to her senses, realized her slip of the tongue, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

She glanced cautiously at Director Bai, afraid of seeing a reproachful or strange look in his eyes.

Fortunately, Director Bai didn't seem to notice her lapse in composure, and didn't even glance at her. Seeing this, Zheng Yawen breathed a sigh of relief.

From then on, Zheng Yawen remained silent, never daring to utter another word. She sat obediently in her mother's office, like a frightened quail, so quiet that her presence was almost imperceptible.

Meanwhile, Director Bai had already heard about this matter.

When he last visited the personnel department, he learned that Xia Wan had actually sold the job she had worked so hard to get.

Initially, he had guessed that Xia Wan might be so confident in her work at the branch factory that she looked down on the ordinary worker position here and simply sold it off.

To his utter surprise, Xia Wan made this decision because she had a father at home who needed care.

Therefore, when he overheard the few words that Zheng Yawen had inadvertently revealed, he remained unusually calm, showing no dissatisfaction or accusation whatsoever.
