Lin Lu came back from Shanghai, and she didn't see Han Jialan and her sister until the cram school officially started.

It didn't matter that she saw Han Jiali, she was pregnant after not seeing her for a long time!

The belly is quite big.

She had been married to Li Jian for less than half a year, but her belly looked like it was five or six months old.

Not to mention Lin Lu's surprise, Han Jialan wasn't much better when she first found out.

Apart from a slightly fatter belly, Han Jiali doesn't seem to have changed much elsewhere, so it's probably not because she ate too much.

Han Jialan asked, and she said that they got married after they knew she was pregnant.

After all, this kind of thing was shameful, so the two of them kept it secret and got married quickly.

Lin Lu was skeptical about this statement.

Han Jiali had been with Qin Taoji for such a long time and had never done such a thing. She had only known Li Jian for a short time, so how could she do such an outrageous thing?

However, she didn't ask too much. Although they were friends, they still had to be careful about some things. Only with a sense of boundaries could the friendship be maintained.

Ever since Qin Yuan came to visit Han Jiali at her wedding, I haven't seen him since then. I don't know what happened to the child or his uncle.

Han Jiali has become more taciturn than before. Although she often has a smile on her face, the fatigue behind that smile is visible to the naked eye.

Sometimes after class, Li Jian would come here to pick her up.

So far, he seems to be a nice guy, and Han Jiali has never complained about family matters. The only thing is that Li Jian seems to want her to go back to school to teach, as she still feels that the job here is unstable.

However, Han Jiali was more opinionated than before and rejected him righteously.

Lin Lu's cram school was originally short of people. It was Lin Lu who helped her and accepted her when she was down and out. Now that she needs her, she must not abandon Lin Lu.

Moreover, the cram school is now well-known and has a good student source. With Lin Lu here, there is no worry about not being able to recruit people.

The money she earned in the past year working here is more than she earned in the previous three years.

The rift in the relationship between Han Jialan and Xiao Xu is getting bigger and bigger, and now they quarrel almost every day.

Although Xiao Xu always gives in to her and coaxes her.

During the Chinese New Year, Xiao Xu returned to his home in the city and found out that his parents had held an engagement ceremony with his childhood sweetheart without telling him.

Xiao Xu usually looked gentle and harmless, but if he got angry, he could be quite frightening. Aside from a single meal at home on New Year's Eve, he spent the rest of the day contacting old friends and various factories, ultimately completing the assembly of several vehicles.

Except for the two that were shipped back to Qingshui Town, the others were given to friends. He has a childhood friend who said that he would quit his job after the New Year and come here to work with him.

Although Xiao Xu had asked her parents to cancel the engagement, the girl somehow found out Han Jialan's contact information and scolded her. So, when Xiao Xu came back, she didn't get a good look from her.

As time goes by, he will feel that he is wronged and that everything that happens is not what he wants. After he knows it, he has tried his best to solve the problem.

No one on either side could understand him.

Han Jialan always had a knot in her heart, and she also knew that Xiao Xu had sacrificed a lot for her.

She was such a free and easy person at first, but she changed as they got to know each other better. She was clearly aware that she was sinking into Xiao Xu's gentleness.

She lost her temper because she felt that Xiao Xu seemed to be getting further and further away from her. She wanted to give up this relationship, but she couldn't bear to.

She had become unrecognizable to herself.

So, we can only live like this, but everyone knows that the groove on the glass can never be glued together.

With the hard work of Yang Xinyu and his team day and night, the car factory was officially completed a month later.

After Song Chen arranged for people to do some simple renovations, the machines ordered by Xu Yichang and the parts and materials ordered from various factories also arrived one after another.

The next step is to recruit people.

During the more than one month from the start to the completion of the factory, people came to ask about recruiting workers every now and then.

Now we can finally begin.

Everyone is really eager and wants to get this job. They missed it last time, so they are putting in their best effort this time.

Song Chen did not have any strict requirements for the car factory's recruitment conditions - 18-60 years old, both men and women are welcome.

Country people are used to doing farm work. Even those in their fifties are still good hands in the fields. They are strong and motivated. So as long as they are under sixty years old, Song Chen will take them.

Locals are given priority. Song Chen certainly wants to recruit his own people first to boost the local economy so that everyone can live a good life. As for people from other places, what does it have to do with him?

The car repair shop is quite large and requires a lot of people. The process is not difficult, but it is a bit complicated and requires a lot of miscellaneous work.

A week before the recruitment, Song Chen wrote the notice and posted it at the factory door. As for the specific type of people to be selected, Song Chen arranged for Xiao Xu to select them personally.

One advantage is that Xiao Xu is a foreigner and doesn't have to worry about so many human relationships.

Otherwise, just the people he knew would be enough to blow Song Chen's mind apart.

Unexpectedly, on the day of recruitment, Xiao Xu suffered unprecedented harm.

Many people didn't know him. Everyone thought that this factory belonged to Song Chen. Suddenly, the factory director became this young man, which was hard for everyone to understand.

He was asked the same question to each person in each interview. No matter how good Xiao Xu's patience was, it was worn out. In the end, his face was dull and he was indifferent to those noisy people throughout the whole process.

Song Chen should have figured this out, and later sent Song Zidong to check the situation. He was also worried that as a foreigner, he might not be able to control these people.

After the notice was released, the news spread to the neighboring town, and even people in the county heard about it. Many people were waiting for this day to come and try their luck. After all, everyone knew how difficult it was to get a stable job.

Except for Li Jinwu's family, all of Lin Lu's grandmother's cousins came, including her aunts and uncles. Not only that, those cousins also came with their whole families, and the families of her two aunts also came.

They were relieved that Song Chen didn't come to meet them in person. That person was not easy to talk to, and it was easier to scare a young man from outside the area like Xiao Xu. Once he could reveal his identity, he would definitely be admitted.

Sure enough, when Xu Weichang heard that they were Lin Lu's cousins and sisters, he wondered whether to add them.

However, he has too many relatives, and most of them have names and surnames.

Xiao Xu hesitated. Although Zong Chen had told him to make his own decision and choose the ones he liked, these people were special after all, and he felt embarrassed to refuse. He had no choice but to write down the names of these people on the back of the notebook and the names of the people he had chosen on the front. When the time came, he would show them all to Zong Chen and let him make the final decision.
