Ji Wanmei, naturally beautiful and graceful, was the factory director's daughter. At eighteen, she was admitted to the provincial university. With her braids and floral skirt, her waist swaying...
Chapter 262
Ji Wanmei said, "Wait here for me for a while, I'll go back and get my bag and scarf."
It was quite cold when she woke up in the morning. Ji Wanmei went back to the bungalow and put on her scarf.
A-Qiang turned to Zhu Shuangyan and said, "Am I right? My brother Lei and his wife are really nice people, they're very approachable and easy to get along with."
Zhu Shuangyan smiled and said, "There's a saying in the book that's true: the more outstanding a person is, the more approachable they are. Maybe Brother Lei and Miss Ji are both like that."
Ji Wanmei quickly finished tidying up and came out.
She and A-Qiang found a noodle shop near the construction site and ate something casually.
Sitting in the noodle shop, while waiting for the owner to cook the noodles, Ji Wanmei asked Zhu Shuangyan, "Shuangyan, what did you study in vocational school?"
“I studied market trade,” Zhu Shuangyan said.
In the 1980s and 1990s, vocational schools and junior colleges were three years long, consisting of junior high school and vocational high school, which students could then complete in a combined three-year program.
However, at that time, market trade was not a very popular major.
However, Ji Wanmei's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't realized that Zhu Shuangyan, who looked so quiet and refined, was actually studying trade, a major that required dealing with the market.
"So you're graduating this year, what are your plans for work?" Ji Wanmei asked again.
Zhu Shuangyan glanced at A-Qiang, pursed her lips and said, "My parents are both in Pingquan County, and I have a fourteen-year-old younger brother, so I will probably go back to work in Pingquan County. That way, I can be closer to my family."
"However, I still really want to stay in Pingdong City. After all, there are more opportunities for development in the city."
If we go back to Pingquan County, to be honest, the only decent place to find employment is actually the Dongfang Factory.
Other state-owned shopping malls and restaurants are much smaller in scale, have less institutional structure, and less room for growth compared to those in Pingdong City.
Zhu Shuangyan is a girl with her own pursuits and ideas. She feels that going back to Pingquan County to find a job is not as good as staying in Pingdong City.
However, her parents' expectations forced her to temporarily return to Pingquan County.
Therefore, it seems that the best option is to join the Dongfang Factory.
After all, Dongfang Daily Chemical Factory is a very large factory in the entire prefecture-level city of Pingdong.
The fact that a single factory could drive the economy of Pingquan County, and even several surrounding counties, demonstrates its influence and scale, as well as the importance that the provincial and municipal governments attach to Dongfang Factory.
Many countries choose to make the Dongfang factory the first demonstration site for their new policies.
Of course, Zhu Shuangyan was too embarrassed to say too much in front of Ji Wanmei.
After all, her father was the factory director of Dongfang Factory.
Saying too much makes it seem like she's trying to curry favor with Ji Wanmei.
Zhu Shuangyan didn't want Ji Wanmei and Aqiang to think that way, so she only mentioned it briefly.
But Ji Wanmei took it to heart after hearing this.
She thought, since Zhu Shuangyan studied market trade and planned to return to Pingquan County to work in the future, then...
Why doesn't she introduce her to the Dongfang Factory and let Zhu Shuangyan work under her father?
After thinking for a moment, Ji Wanmei smiled and asked Zhu Shuangyan, "Shuangyan, are you interested in joining the factory?"
Zhu Shuangyan paused for a moment, then said, "Miss Ji, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean that."
Ji Wanmei smiled and said, "What are you thinking? I know you didn't mean it that way, but I did."
Ji Wanmei: "Starting from the second half of last year, my dad received a document from the city leaders requiring state-owned factories to increase their foreign trade cooperation. Since you studied this major and plan to work in Pingquan County, isn't this perfect? With readily available talent, I certainly don't want the opportunity to go to outsiders, so I have to reserve you as soon as possible."
Hearing this, A-Qiang was also very happy: "Yes, Shuangyan, it would be great if you could get a job at Dongfang Factory in the future. It's close to home, so you can take care of your parents. The factory's pay is stable, and I can come back to see you often. My house in my hometown will be finished soon. If we get married in the future, we can bring your parents to live with us!"
Zhu Shuangyan blushed instantly and glared at him: "What are you saying in front of so many people, so unrestrained?"
Ah Qiang quickly stopped talking, scratched his head and chuckled, "Anyway, I think it's a good thing, so just agree to your sister-in-law's request! Others would love to ask for this opportunity but can't get it."
Ji Wanmei looked at the two of them from across the room and said with a smile, "That's not true, Qiang. Don't underestimate Shuangyan. A professional like her is sought after by every factory after graduation. I only got the job because of your connections, I was in a good position and got an advantage. It still depends on whether Shuangyan is willing to come."
Ji Wanmei's words were quite insightful.
The subtle praise for Zhu Shuangyan first affirmed her own abilities and professionalism, then humbly lowered her own stance, gently defusing the awkwardness Zhu Shuangyan felt because of A-Qiang's relationship, and also indirectly affirmed A-Qiang's good taste in choosing a partner.
Both emotional intelligence and intellectual intelligence were revealed in those words.
Ah Qiang was oblivious to the obvious, so of course he didn't understand. He just thought what Ji Wanmei said was very pleasing to the ear, and he was very happy to hear it, so he kept grinning like an idiot.
But Zhu Shuangyan was very observant. She looked up and carefully examined Ji Wanmei, and couldn't help but admire her.
No wonder Ji Wanmei has been famous since childhood.
It turns out that it wasn't just because she had a beautiful appearance, but also because she had a very clever and insightful mind.
