Chapter 435: Graduation Assignment 1 But I can stay in the capital, you...

Zhu Mingmei is most annoyed by Lu Yihong. Not only does he have problems with his personal conduct, he is also always jealous of others and thinks the worst of them.

Choosing him as the deputy monitor was the biggest mistake.

Her face darkened as she glared at Lu Yihong: "Why are you pretending? Don't you have relatives in the army? I don't believe you didn't ask them to find a solution."

Lu Yihong curled his lips and said sarcastically, "How can they be the same? One is powerful because of his father, and the other is powerful because of his uncle. They are one level apart, okay?"

"You also know that your father is not as capable as other people's fathers, so why don't you go back and complain to your father? Why are you complaining here?" Zhu Mingmei rolled her eyes, picked up the application form in her hand, and prepared to go to the cafeteria with Cheng Che to discuss it slowly.

They were the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. They were guaranteed jobs after graduation, and once they started working, they would automatically obtain cadre status.

However, although they are both cadres, there is still a big difference.

There are many influencing factors, mainly concentrated in the following points:

First, the student's place of origin. For example, if they're both seeking employment in the capital, employers will prioritize students with local hukou. Students from provincial capitals and other large cities will be considered next. Students from smaller cities or suburban counties have little hope, unless they've performed exceptionally well in school and have influential individuals willing to recommend them. As for those from remote rural areas, well... well, let's not even talk about them.

Society is so realistic and no one can change it.

Second, political background. For example, whether one has joined the Communist Party, whether there are party members or military members in the family, etc. If there is a family member in prison, then one will probably have to go to some difficult areas and do some thankless work.

Third, students can leverage their social connections. This is easy to understand; after all, the notion that one person's success brings prosperity to everyone is universally acknowledged. Even in modern times, many individuals leverage their connections to gain benefits beyond their capabilities and avoid the punishment they should face for their mistakes. This phenomenon is commonplace even decades later, in the new century. Human nature dictates that it cannot be eradicated; one can only assume that each individual has his or her own unique skills. As for how future rules and regulations can prevent nepotism, that is not a concern for these students.

Fourth, personal achievements. Because most of the candidates in this year are from the society, many of them have been working for many years, so many of them have a length of service or cadre status, which is also an important reference factor when allocating jobs.

Fifth, personal conduct. Most students don't have this problem, but if someone engages in promiscuous relationships, it can be a serious problem.

Sixth, marital status. Generally speaking, those who are married with children will be given priority to be assigned back to their place of origin, while those who are unmarried and without children have more freedom and can be assigned anywhere.

Seventh, it is the student’s academic performance in school. After all, if one can get into a top university, no matter how bad his or her academic performance is, it won’t be that bad. As long as he or she can get a diploma, the impact of specific academic performance will be minimal.

In addition, there are very few special cases. For example, students from certain ethnic minority areas and special policy areas need to follow the principle of "coming from commune to commune" and return to their original commune to work. However, even if they return to the commune, they are still cadres and generally hold decent jobs such as commune cadres or school teachers.

Lu Yihong is not a local student, and his political background has been affected by his love affairs, which has ruined his chance to become a party member. Although he has an uncle in the army, he is not considered a direct relative, so the only thing he can use is the third option, that is, social relations.

As long as his uncle steps in and can resolve some issues, then it will be no problem to arrange for Lu Yihong to go to a better unit.

However, as I said before, his personal style has too much influence, so he cannot go to good units such as the central government, ministries and commissions.

Although Yao Zhizhi is not from the capital, has not joined the party, and is married with children, she is very suitable to return to her hometown or the provincial capital to work. However, Yao Zhizhi has a major plus point, which is a good political background.

Her father, Yao Jingzong, was an old soldier who participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and made outstanding military achievements. All the medals in the family were stuffed in Lu Yihong's arms. He probably couldn't bear the heavy weight.

What's more, Yao Zhizhi's father-in-law is a martyr and her mother-in-law is the director of the Public Security Bureau. This political background is really enviable.

In addition, Yao Zhizhi herself has a very dazzling plus point - she is a well-known writer and the famous editor-in-chief Yao of Yicheng Publishing House. Now, the movie adapted from her first novel is also being released. Her name can be seen everywhere in the cinema. She is an absolute celebrity.

Therefore, as long as Yao Zhizhi is willing and Yao Jingzong also wants it, the father and daughter can strive for the best job - to go to the central government or to a ministry.

For example, the Central Propaganda Department, the Central Literature Research Office, the Central Party History Research Office, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Press and Publication Administration, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, etc.

These were all good jobs that Lu Yihong had fought hard for, and he had no choice but to feel jealous.

But Zhu Mingmei still felt that he was not worthy.

She came out from the back of the classroom, squinted at Lu Yihong, and sneered, "Be content with yourself. You're lucky to be able to work at Xinhua News Agency or People's Daily. Don't you see how big of a scandal you caused back then?"

Lu Yihong was so angry that he almost died. What he said was true. These were the best units in the first tier, second only to the central government and ministries and commissions - national core media and research institutions.

But the one he wanted to go to the most was obviously the best one. Unfortunately, not only did he and Zhou Xiaoxiao break up and get back together again and again, but other people were also involved, causing a lot of trouble. Now his uncle has to use all his tricks to get him into the radio station as an announcer. He felt really frustrated.

It’s all Yao Zhizhi’s fault for being nosy. If it weren’t for her, would his cheating have become such a big deal?

If it weren't for her, Chang Suchan wouldn't have said bad things about him everywhere, making him a beastly scum like a rat crossing the street.

If he hadn't been surrounded by public opinion, he wouldn't have had to bite the bullet and get back together with Zhou Xiaoxiao.

In short, everything that happened today was caused by Yao Zhizhi, and he hated Yao Zhizhi to death.

He just can't stand seeing her doing well!

He always wanted to do something and would not stop until he ruined Yao Zhizhi's good fortune.

So he rolled his eyes and sneered, "What are you so proud of? Yao Zhizhi has a powerful father, why are you so proud of it? Could it be that you are also her father's daughter?"

These words were extremely insulting. Not only did they insult the elders of both families, they also affected the dignity and honor of a soldier.

Zhu Mingmei couldn't stand it anymore. She grabbed Lv Yihong by the collar and shouted, "Ji Dongqi, you're the League Secretary. Did you hear what Lv Yihong said? Come on, let's go to the Education Department and ask for an explanation!"

Lu Yihong panicked. He was just angry and wanted to find someone to vent his anger on. If he were to say that in front of Yao Zhizhi, he would never dare to say that.

Now that Zhu Mingmei is going to make trouble at the Education Department, she can no longer make a big deal out of a small matter.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and make amends: "Is it okay if I slipped up? I was trying to say, could it be that your father is also an officer?"

Unfortunately, Zhu Mingmei refused to listen and insisted on going to the teacher. Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was inside, heard the noise and got anxious. She quickly came out to defend her. She grabbed Zhu Mingmei's hand and burst into tears: "What are you doing? We're classmates, are you really going to force him to death? Fine, then I'll die first!"

As she spoke, she forcefully pulled Zhu Mingmei away from Lu Yihong, using all her might to drag Zhu Mingmei to the stairs, whispering, "Zhu Mingmei, what are you doing? I'm pregnant. If you push me too far, I'll jump off the building. It'll be a double death, and the school leaders won't let you go! Think about your child, and don't meddle in other people's business!"

Zhu Mingmei was so angry that she almost exploded. What a fool!

She was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Zhou Xiaoxiao in the face, cursing, "You rotten person, just find a stinky ditch to rot and stink, don't come out and disgust others, get out!"

Zhou Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and endured it again and again without getting angry.

She had no choice. She had lost her virginity to Lu Yihong, and her neighbors knew about it. Gossip was everywhere, and she had no choice but to marry Lu Yihong.

Therefore, Lu Yihong's affairs are her affairs, and she will never allow anyone to influence Lu Yihong's work assignments.

She released her hand from covering her mouth, straightened her hair, held her head high, and said, "Zhu Mingmei, who can predict the future? You might even ask me to do something for you someday. Don't forget, you and Cheng Che are both married with children, and you're educated youth sent to the countryside. Your household registration isn't back in the city, so you'll probably be going back and forth from where you came from. And I can stay in the capital with Lu Yihong. You can be envious!"

Zhu Mingmei sneered, "Would I envy you? Are you kidding? Even if Cheng Che and I were to return to our hometown, we would be intercepted by the provincial government and assigned to work in the provincial capital. And you, on the other hand, are nothing more than a parasite tied to Lu Yihong's belt. How pathetic! Pah!"

After scolding, Zhu Mingmei returned to the classroom door, dragged Cheng Che, and left without looking back.

As the couple walked along the campus road, Zhu Mingmei sighed with emotion: "Tell me, how are we supposed to fill out our application form? Should we try to get in?"

"It's impossible. Let's not join the rush and go to the provincial capital." Cheng Che has always been more rational. He knows that although he has joined the party and his performance in school is pretty good, he is not from the capital and has no political background other than party members.

Going to the provincial level is the most suitable. If you are lucky, you can work as a secretary in the Propaganda Department or the Provincial Government Office. Slightly lower-level jobs are the provincial cultural and educational departments, publishing bureaus, radio and television stations, etc. The next level is the provincial social science academy, provincial key universities, provincial party newspapers, literary federations, writers' associations, and other institutions.

These are relatively certain. With his conditions, if he is more proactive and positive, he has a chance to get a job in some of the best units in the province.

Therefore, he would rather go back, at least he wouldn't have to look at people's faces in the capital.

Zhu Mingmei thought the same thing, but she felt a pity: "But if this happens, I won't be able to see Xiao Yao anymore, which is quite sad."

"No rush. I guess with her personality, she won't have the patience to work as an errand boy in an office. She might stay in school as a teacher, or simply go back to Yicheng Publishing House to do her old job. Either way is better than staying in the capital." After all, her father has retired. The new generation pushes the old generation forward, and the new force is far stronger than the retired force.

It’s better to go back to your hometown and be your own master.

It would be quite easy for Zhu Mingmei to meet Yao Zhizhi at that time, after all, they were not far from Yicheng.

Zhu Mingmei thought about it and felt relieved, but she was still full of anticipation: "Although I'm reluctant to leave her, I still hope that she and Xiaoqi can stay in school, so that they can spend more time with their children."

After all, university teachers are not like elementary and middle school teachers who are so busy every day.

Anyway, let’s ask when we meet tomorrow.

The author has something to say: The name of an organization can also be changed to "口口". If I hadn't seen the stage in front of me, I wouldn't have known it. I am really impressed.
