This is the way Chen Qiangwei cooperates with a man named Brother Bao. There are three forces in the largest black market in Nan City, and the force led by Brother Bao has the best reputation.

Half a year ago, Chen Qiangwei took the initiative to find him, proved herself with her strength, and then won this unique way of cooperation.

When they appeared again, Chen Qiangwei and her family came to the family compound of the Beicheng District Public Security Bureau. The basket had become a backpack, which contained the things she gave to Li Xianghong's family.

Because they visit each other frequently, Xu Qianjin and Li Xianghong now treat Chen Qiangwei as their own sister, and their relationship has become much closer.

The two of them often inquired about recruitment information and jobs for Chen Qiangwei, but unfortunately, every position is now too crowded. There are too many people in the city, but there is a shortage of jobs. Many young people who graduated from high school and couldn't find jobs have gone to the countryside. Even if some factories and units are recruiting, they only recruit internally and don't want outsiders at all.

With the abilities of the two, it is easy to find temporary jobs, but not only is the work of temporary workers hard, they are also bullied and exploited by regular workers. It is not as easy as Chen Qiangwei's job as a teacher in Huaihua Brigade.

Chen Qiangwei left mercilessly in everyone's eager eyes, and came to Xu Qianjin and Li Xianghong's house as if she was familiar with the place.

"Sister-in-law, I haven't been to your place for a long time. I brought you something."

"Come in, come in, drink a bowl of water to quench your thirst, and then eat some watermelon to cool down."

Chen Qiangwei: ...Sister Xiang Hong and Aunt Li are indeed mother and daughter.

Chen Qiangwei touched her round belly and said, "Sister-in-law, please forgive me. I just drank a lot of sugar water at my aunt's house, and now my stomach is shaking when I walk."

Li Xianghong smiled, "Okay, I won't be polite with you. There are snacks on the table, please help yourself.

I've told you so many times that coming to my sister-in-law's place is like going home, you don't need to bring anything, why do you always bring so many bags?"

Chen Qiangwei shrugged. "These things of mine are not for you and Brother Qianjin. They are for my niece and nephew."

Li Xianghong pulled Chen Qiangwei down to the sofa and said, "You came just in time. If you hadn't come, your brother Qianjin would have come to look for you after work."

Chen Qiangwei, "What's the matter?"

Li Xianghong was a little excited, "Great news!" Li Xianghong opened the door and stuck his head out to look, but when he found no one was there, he retracted his head and locked the door.

"Aren't your elder brother and I helping you keep an eye out for work? Finally, there's some progress to be made."

Chen Qiangwei felt something in her heart. Today was really her lucky day. Everyone was looking for a job for her.

Chen Qiangwei said gratefully, "Thank you, sister-in-law. May I know what kind of job it is?"

Li Xianghong looked at Chen Qiangwei a little embarrassedly. "It's a formal job, but the location isn't very fancy. It's our city's scrap recycling station. I went there once, and the smell was a bit unpleasant. The job pays 800 yuan."

This is not difficult to understand. The scrap collection station is full of unwanted waste, and the smell is not very pleasant. Moreover, those who work there have to sort and organize the collected waste.

It took their boss a lot of effort to find such a job. The old man at the purchasing station was of retirement age. It just so happened that his son and Xu Qianjin were former comrades-in-arms, and both his son and daughter-in-law had jobs, so he wanted to sell this job.

Chen Qiangwei thought for a moment and thanked Li Xianghong before saying, "Sister-in-law, can you let me think about it?"

Li Xianghong said cheerfully, "What's wrong with that? It's not forced buying or selling. Don't worry, go back and think about it slowly. Your eldest brother asked them to stay for a week. Come back next week after you've thought it over."

After chatting with Li Xianghong for a while, the two of them pushed the things Chen Qiangwei brought back and forth. In the end, they had a tug-of-war over whether Chen Qiangwei should stay for dinner. Only when they learned that Chen Qiangwei really had something to do did Li Xianghong give up.

Li Xianghong accepted the things and packed two large green-skinned watermelons for Chen Qiangwei. They were really big watermelons, each weighing 12-13 kilograms, and the backpack could hardly hold them.

This is a specialty from another county under Nanshi. Xu Qianjin went there on a business trip a few days ago and bought a sack of it.

It was already 11:30 when Chen Qiangwei left the Public Security Bureau's family compound and headed towards the State-owned Hotel. From a distance, she saw Shi Hanquan walking back and forth in front of the hotel.

Seeing her, Shi Hanquan hurried over to greet her.

"Comrade Chen Qiangwei, you're here."

Chen Qiangwei apologized, "Master Shi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Shi Hanquan waved his hand and said, "I'm here early. No need to be so polite. Just call me uncle. Please feel free to order whatever you want. It's my treat today."

Chen Qiangwei also said readily, "Okay, then uncle, just call me niece, and I won't be polite. As the younger generation, I should be the one to treat you to this meal today."

Of course Shi Hanquan refused to agree. Such a great favor of saving his life could not be erased by a little money or things.

After a debate between the two, Chen Qiangwei finally lost to Shi Hanquan, and Shi Hanquan had to treat them all in the end.

Chen Qiangwei glanced at the small blackboard. It said, "Today's Sale":

Staple foods: white rice, steamed buns, meat buns, and meat dumplings.

Dishes: Osmanthus fish, fried pork liver, fried pork slices, spinach and egg soup, twice-cooked pork, fried chicken with fungus, braised pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and fried cabbage.

The dishes in the city's state-owned restaurant are much more abundant than those in the commune's restaurant. Chen Qiangwei ordered stir-fried pork liver and stir-fried pork slices.

Shi Hanquan took a look and ordered some osmanthus fish and spinach and egg soup, and white rice as the main course.

Shi Hanquan was about to continue, but Chen Qiangwei quickly interrupted him, "Uncle, that's enough, that's enough. We can't finish any more."

Although the service attitude of the waiters in state-owned restaurants needs to be improved, the meals are famous for being affordable. The main feature is the large portions. The fried pork slices are a real big plate of fried pork slices without a single green leaf.

Although she has a big appetite and Shi Hanquan seems to be able to eat as much as she can, he may not be able to finish what he ordered now.

In the end, both of them were full, and after the meal, Shi Hanquan wanted to send Chen Qiangwei home.

"Let's go. This isn't the place to talk. I'll take you to the intersection and we can talk while we walk."

Chen Qiangwei swallowed her refusal. The state-owned restaurant was crowded with people and gossips, and it was indeed not a place to talk.

It turned out that Shi Hanquan had really found her a formal job, which was as a waitress in the state-owned restaurant where they had just eaten. There were four state-owned restaurants in Nanshi, just like the Public Security Bureau branch. The state-owned restaurant they had just visited was the one in Beicheng District.

The waitress who wanted to sell her job was named Zhang, also known as Sister Zhang. Sister Zhang's husband received a transfer order last month to work in a textile factory in the next city. He has now established himself there and has found a job for her.

The couple's older child is in junior high school, and the younger one has just started elementary school. The children cannot survive without a father. Sister Zhang doesn't want the couple to be separated, so she wants to sell her job for 1,000 yuan and then take her children to the next city to reunite with her husband.
