The next day, Jia Yue got up very early and took a serving of mung bean cake to the staff quarters of the daily chemical factory.

She went to Wang Qin's place first. Because she arrived early, Wang Qin hadn't started work yet. When she saw her coming, Wang Qin hurriedly welcomed her in: "Comrade Xu Jiayue, what brings you here?"

"Sister Wang, just call me Jiayue. My father's funeral arrangements are almost done, and I've come today to thank you, Sister Wang."

As she spoke, Jia Yue took out two jin of packaged mung bean cakes: "These mung bean cakes are made by me personally. Sister Wang, please try them."

These days, pastries are hard to buy, and homemade ones aren't considered bribes. Wang Qin said, "You're too kind, child."

Seeing that she accepted the mung bean cake, Jia Yue continued, "Sister Wang, I came here today to ask if you know where the director of the Organization Department lives?"

Wang Qin was a smart woman. She accepted two jin of mung bean cakes and, without asking Jia Yue what she wanted to see the head of the Organization Department, quickly gave her the address.

"Thank you, Sister Wang. I have something to do today, but I'll come to work tomorrow. Is that alright?"

"Sure, of course it's possible."

For the sake of two pounds of mung bean cakes, I have to do it.

"Thank you, Sister Wang. Ever since my dad passed away, I've only met kind people!" Jia Yue said, her eyes reddening slightly.

After leaving Wang Qin's house, Jia Yue went directly to the home of Xiao Jiandang, the director of the Organization Department.

Is anyone home?

"Who is it? Come in."

After Jia Yue entered, she asked, "Is this Director Xiao's house?"

"Yes, who are you?" It was Li Shu, Xiao Jiandang's wife, who spoke.

"I'm a new employee in the soap workshop of the daily chemical factory. My name is Xu Jiayue. I need to see Director Xiao."

Seeing that she wasn't carrying anything, Li Shu let her in. It's no wonder she was scared; the deputy director had just gone in, and she was scared too!

As soon as she entered, she saw a girl about the same age as her, slightly chubby, who looked very pleasing, but there was a hint of sorrow in her eyes.

Jia Yue was now more certain about the purpose of her visit today.

"Comrade Xu Jiayue, what brings you here to see my husband, Lao Xiao?"

"I have a job, a job at a machine factory..."

Li Shu and her daughter both looked at her upon hearing this: "Wait here, I'll go call Lao Xiao out."

She only has one son and one daughter. In principle, in urban families with multiple children, at least one child should be sent to the countryside to work as an educated youth. But that's just the principle.

Her son had already secured a job, taking her place. Later, Xiao Jiandang was promoted, and there shouldn't have been any problem arranging a job for his daughter. However, unfortunately, the deputy director was too willful and was investigated for accepting too many bribes. The factory was in a period of strict crackdown, so he dared not arrange a job for her.

There were plenty of people watching him at that moment!

Unfortunately, their daughter is about to graduate, and they are afraid that once she graduates, someone will report that their child is not working and is not going to work in the countryside.

His family is doing well, and many people are envious; it's not impossible.

The atmosphere at home has been quite tense and depressing lately because of this incident.

Jia Yue said she had a job, which truly solved her family's urgent problem.

Li Shu quickly called Xiao Jiandang out. He had learned what Jia Yue wanted to say while he was inside, and his attitude towards Jia Yue was good.

"Comrade Xu Jiayue, right? I remember you, I even signed off on your personnel file! You just said you have a job, what do you mean by that?"

“My dad passed away, and I'm all alone now. I have a job, but no one can replace him at the machine factory, so…”

A machine factory!

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Xiao family of three lit up.

Xiao Jiandang knew that Jia Yue's ability to find his home was remarkable, and he also knew about Jiang Lan's situation. The fact that she was able to take over Jiang Lan's job showed that she was a strong-willed girl.

Faced with such a girl, Xiao Jiandang got straight to the point: "Comrade Xu, tell me your conditions!"

"Work in the machinery factory is in high demand. Even if you sell, you can definitely make eight or nine hundred. However, selling jobs isn't very good. I heard that many departments in the daily chemical factory are short-staffed recently. I graduated from high school this year and I like to write things in my spare time. I wonder what the factory is planning to do?"

Xiao Jiandang understood her plan. The work in the workshop was indeed hard, and her goal was to find an office job.

"I would suggest recruiting from the workshop, giving preference to those with higher education, and we will arrange an exam."

"Thank you very much, Director Xiao. However, a promotion of one rank might..."

Not worth a job.

Xiao Jiandang immediately said, "I'll give you another four hundred yuan as a thank you fee privately. You saved my daughter who fainted, so you should be thanked."

Jia Yue said, "Four hundred is too much, three hundred will do. I also want to make friends with Xiao."

For Xiao Jiandang, given his position, promoting a female worker with an education in the workshop would be simple and easy.

A thank-you fee of three hundred yuan, in exchange for a job in a machine factory, is worth it no matter what.

The two sides quickly reached a deal.

In this deal, neither of them loses out.

Xiao Jiandang: "Delay will only lead to complications, you see..."

"The day after tomorrow, just say you're a distant relative of my dad's. I'll take you there to hand over your work. I'll visit you often afterward. Xiao, you don't mind having another friend, do you?"

Xiao Xiaohong said, "Of course I don't mind."

Xiao Jiandang: "The factory's propaganda department is short two people, so you should prepare well."

"Then I'll have to trouble Director Xiao."

After saying that, Jia Yue left without lingering.

The next day, Jia Yue officially started work and explained to Team Leader Wang, "Xiao Xiaohong and I are friends. She helped me before, and I was thinking of going to her house to thank her."

"I see!"

It was just a casual explanation; she and Xiao Xiaohong were friends.
