Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Then let’s go and see, just like you…

When Xia Li got the news from Uncle Wu, she was really shocked and speechless. She wondered how could a person do such a stupid thing?

We had explained everything clearly at the beginning, and persuaded them to prepare everything in advance, but they were still locked out. Why bother signing up now? I could just take the train home.

Uncle Wu didn't tell her the specific names of the people who were stopped outside, and Xia Li didn't know who they were. When she rushed over, she found out that it was Zhao Qingqing and another girl.

She had originally planned to just take a look and leave without getting involved. But when she saw Zhao Qingqing there, she was surprised. Xia Li thought, this shouldn't be possible. Could she possibly have forgotten what she'd told her? Zhao Qingqing wasn't the reckless type.

There was no choice but for her to show up and walk over.

Zhao Qingqing only noticed Xia Li as she approached. She glanced at her for a moment before lowering her head in guilt, not daring to look again. For her, while it wasn't her fault that things had reached this point, she certainly wasn't able to register and was turned away. That was the result, and everyone only cared about the outcome, not the cause.

She was so hopeful before, but now she is filled with shame.

How embarrassing!

"Sister Xia Li, I'm sorry." Zhao Qingqing held back her emotions and tried not to cry.

Charlie patted her shoulder, offering some comfort, and then asked her what was wrong. She wanted to know what was going on.

Xia Li noticed that when she asked Zhao Qingqing what was going on, the other girl seemed panicked and guilty. Xia Li glanced at her, but the girl didn't dare meet her gaze, quickly looking away.

As for Zhao Qingqing, although she had long since resented Li Jia in her heart, she was not in the habit of criticizing others in front of others. In this situation, any explanation would be pale, she just knew that there was no way to change the result.

"Li Jia was not feeling well at the time, so I accompanied her to find a toilet, and came back late. Sister Xia Li, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble." Zhao Qingqing didn't say much in her explanation, but Xia Li knew there must be something else going on.

She didn't ask any more questions at this moment. After getting to the bottom of it, she couldn't help but sigh, "How much trouble can I have? It's just your luck!"

With so many people going in, the number of applicants must be far more than the actual number required. If you register early and attend the interview early, you can stay if they think you are good. Once there are enough people, who will care about the people behind you?

Xia Li was unsure at this moment. Because she knew the whole process too well, she couldn't say anything to comfort Zhao Qingqing.

Let's try our best to save the situation.

"Uncle Wu, can you please let someone in first? Even if it's really over then, we'll accept it." Xia Li went to Uncle Wu to discuss the matter.

Uncle Wu and Xia Li had a good relationship, so he naturally wouldn't be unwilling to help. It was just a matter of opening the door, not a big deal. "Okay, I'll open the door right away."

Xia Li thanked Uncle Wu and said, "I'll bring you some braised food tomorrow. Please wait!"

After thanking Uncle Wu, she took Zhao Qingqing inside, and the other girl followed behind. Xia Li was truly certain that something must have happened between the two of them, otherwise Zhao Qingqing wouldn't be so cold to others simply because she was late.

The interview was held on the first floor of the office building, and who knows how far it has progressed.

As she walked with the two of them, she told them the truth, "Don't hold out any hope. Good food is always better when it's late."

She didn't understand the other girl, but she was a little worried about Zhao Qingqing. She had always been a big sister, but if all these "younger brothers and sisters" came in, and she didn't have a good outcome, she would be so heartbroken.

What hope could Zhao Qingqing have at this point? When Sister Xia Li had sent them out to explore the situation, she had gotten a good idea of ​​the factory's current hiring situation. It was difficult everywhere. She had originally thought that relying on her own qualifications, coupled with Sister Xia Li's introduction, she was pretty sure-fire.

Who would have thought that accidents would make people bow their heads! After hearing what Sister Xia Li said, Zhao Qingqing quickly adjusted herself and pretended to be fine: "It's okay, Sister Xia Li, even if this doesn't work, I'll go out and look for it more often, and I'll always find it." She even smiled to show that she was fine.

Charlie turned her head and saw her forced smile, which was so bleak. She nodded and said, "I will."

The office building wasn't too far away, but after the two of them finished talking and walked a few steps, Charlie had to stop.

She looked ahead, as if in a state of combat readiness. Her relaxed state vanished, for there seemed to be someone waiting for her on the path ahead.

Charlie smiled faintly and straightened up a little. With a smile on her face, she walked forward, lazily tucking her hair behind her ears.

"Ms. Chen, are you standing here just to wait for me?"

In front of Charlie was a woman whose figure and appearance were equally beautiful as Charlie's, standing there, looking relaxed.

She was not wearing work clothes, but fashionable clothes. Her hair was wavy and she crossed her arms over her chest. She looked a little smug, as if she was watching a fun event. "Xia Li, what are you going to do with these two people?" She asked instead of answering.

Xia Li didn't want to cause trouble today, but trouble kept coming to her. She didn't know where this Miss Chen had gotten the information, but she was able to block her in front of her. Her expression made it clear she was asking questions knowing the answer.

"What does it have to do with you what I do?"

"It's none of my business, but this concerns the entire factory. Since I'm a member of the factory, I have the responsibility and obligation to supervise."

What kind of thing was this? She hadn't done anything, so how could it harm the interests of the factory? Xia Li was a little confused. But at this moment, she was too lazy to argue with her. Time waited for no one.

"If you think I've done anything wrong, just go to the director and report me. But please get out of the way now. We have something urgent to do."

After saying that, Xia Li walked straight forward. She now felt that she and Miss Chen had really torn their relationship apart, and neither of them was willing to even pretend anymore.

Well, after all, it's for the position of director, everything is worth it.

Miss Chen watched Xia Li walk around her, but she wasn't unhappy at all. She had just heard the commotion and came over to cause trouble. "Then go ahead. Everything is over now anyway. If you want to show favoritism to your fellow villager, don't blame me later."

Charlie paused and continued walking forward.

…………

Ultimately, things didn't get done.

The final result was this: those who signed up were lucky enough to stay. When these people talked about their future as electronics factory workers, their excitement was palpable. It was only when they saw Zhao Qingqing's dejected expression that they began to restrain themselves.

Although the bad thing did not fall on them in the end, everyone still has complaints about the culprit Li Jia.

As for the real victim, Zhao Qingqing, these people were very sympathetic, and one by one they came to comfort her, saying things like it was okay and that she could find a better factory. But in Xia Li's opinion, their comfort was really not on point, and it made her even sadder.

When she sent these people away from the factory, she spoke to Zhao Qingqing alone, telling her not to be discouraged, that as long as she didn't give up, there would be opportunities, and she would always help and keep an eye out.

When Charlie returned home, she told her aunt what happened that morning. Her aunt also sighed and asked Charlie to pay more attention and help, telling people that good things take time for children.

Jiang Zai was listening on the side and wanted to participate, so he asked who it was.

Xia Li told him that the little shoes she had brought him back were brought by the aunt. Zhao Qingqing also came over to help Jiang Dong's mother bring a pair of little shoes for Jiang Zai. They must have picked them out at the mall. Jiang Zai liked them very much and wanted to wear them immediately. Xia Li stopped him, saying it was too hot and that he should wear them in a month or two.

"Then what should that aunt do?" asked Jiang Zai.

When Xia Li heard this, she smiled and said to her aunt, "Look, our Jiang Cub can actually understand it too."

Xia Pingzhi also smiled, thinking that the child was changing day by day and growing up slowly.

"By the way, aunt, I went to inquire about that kindergarten this afternoon, the Sunshine Kindergarten, and it seems pretty good." Xia Li thought of the Jiangzai Kindergarten that her aunt was very concerned about.

After she said that, Xia Pingzhi became excited and asked Xia Li to tell her what was so good about it.

"The kindergarten is located in the alley across from the department store we often go to. It's quite reputable. I heard that each class is small, with less than 20 students. This is different from other kindergartens. There are three teachers per class, which allows for better care of the children. Oh, and I heard that there are foreigners teaching foreign languages. This is what I value most. Foreign languages ​​are really important these days. I wonder how many times more our translators earn in our factory."

Xia Li touched Jiangzai's head and smoothed his soft hair, obviously wanting Jiangzai to go here.

Xia Pingzhi was confused after hearing this, "How much will it cost?" After hearing what Xia Li said, the price should not be low.

"1500 per semester isn't cheap, but it includes meals, childcare, and care. I heard the kindergarten is having an open day soon, and we can bring our kids there to try it out. We'll go check it out that day, and if it seems like a good fit, we'll book this place. I've also spoken to the parents who picked up their children, and they're all quite satisfied. They say their children are well cared for and learning."

The price is not cheap, but Xia Li feels that as long as she can teach the child well and provide the child with a good environment, this money is worth it. She can afford it with the money she earns from working for a few years.

Xia Pingzhi looked at Jiang Zai, then at Xia Li, and nodded, "Then let's go and take a look, just like you said, 'experience it', but Xia Li, don't forget it again."

Upon hearing this, Xia Li leaned back on the sofa, looking up and crying out in grievance, "Aunt, why do you always remember this?"
