These days, a job represents a huge amount of power, and those arranged by the military who receive a salary are definitely permanent employees.

A permanent position is a secure job, one that can be passed down through generations; it's so desirable that people would fight tooth and nail for it anywhere.

Xia Wenhua was visibly excited when Yin Huagang mentioned work.

Yin Hua's eyes flashed with admiration that she could still calmly ask a question under such circumstances.

What is your educational background?

The best reward for catching spies in Heilongjiang Province was that Commander Mo concealed his identity.

In Commander Mo's words, her identity is so confidential that no more than ten people nationwide can currently find out about it.

Without the worry of her identity, Xia Wenhua can openly and honestly showcase all her abilities.

"I've graduated from high school."

Even back when there was still a university to attend, a high school diploma was considered quite good.

Nowadays, you can't get into any university except through recommendations; in a normal factory, a high school diploma is the best you can do.

Yin Hua hesitated for a moment, then asked another question: "How is your writing ability?"

"I personally think my cultural literacy is quite good, and I can handle most written work."

Xia Wenhua was not being modest; she had her own pride.

In her past life, she was a law student from one of the five colleges and four departments. After graduating and passing the civil service exam, she dealt with all kinds of manuscripts every day. Her writing skills were best demonstrated by the manuscripts that appeared on the director's desk.

If she hadn't offended someone, she wouldn't have left the system and worked her way up the ranks.

For a self-made millionaire with no connections, the only way to succeed is through physical prowess. Her later serious illness was an opportunity for advancement in her company, which she had gained by sacrificing her health.

“Great!” Yin Hua’s appreciation was undisguised. “The steel plant gave us a permanent position, and one of the available positions is in the secretariat. Since you’re so confident, I’ll go and ask about this job for you.”

Upon hearing this, Yin Yu looked up and frowned as she looked at Yin Hua.

After catching a glimpse of Pei Ying beside her out of the corner of her eye, she pursed her lips and swallowed all her emotions.

Xia Wenhua didn't notice that something was wrong with Yin Yu. She was overjoyed, never expecting that the army would offer her such a good job!

Even eighty-year-old women knew that steel mills were profitable in the 1960s and 70s.

Even regular permanent jobs are highly sought after, and jobs at steel mills are even more competitive and difficult to secure.

It's quite unexpected that the troops here could have connections with the steel mill and even send people there.

"I am confident, thank you Commander Yin!"

Opportunity always favors the prepared mind. With the leader having said all that, Xia Wenhua immediately gave him a boost of confidence.

Yin Hua had other things to do afterward, so he gave a few brief instructions and left, with Yin Yu following closely behind.

Once outside the office, Yin Yu quickened her pace.

"Dad, should we really give the job at the steel mill to Comrade Xia?"

She was very grateful to Pei Songbai for saving her father, and now that she knew Pei Ying was her aunt, she felt she had to take care of her. However, the job at the steel factory was something they had found for Yin Ning at a great cost.

The army arranged a job for Xia Wenhua, which was nothing like the job at the steel factory.

"It's such a waste of resources for a high school student to work in the cafeteria. The job at the steel factory is good, let Xia do it for now. Your mother and I will look for Ningning, we will make sure she doesn't suffer any injustice."

Yin Hua was used to giving orders, but his mind was not as delicate as Yin Yu's.

Before saying this, he hadn't even thought to ask Yin Ning's opinion.

Yin Yu knew Yin Hua's temper, and seeing his uncompromising attitude, she felt a headache coming on.

"Dad, you tell Mom about this yourself, I'm not telling her!"

Thinking of her own mother's temper, Yin Yu felt as if she could already see a world war.

Ningning's pampered nature, which has persisted for decades, is something her father has spoiled her into. If her mother finds out that her father gave Ningning her job to someone else, things will definitely get tough for the family recently.

She quietly decided to go home less often for the time being, and wait until things calmed down at home before making any further decisions.

In fact, Yin Yu felt that there was no rush to find a job. Even if the job were to be given to Xia Wenhua, Yin Hua should discuss it with her family first.

It means there are no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in their family, otherwise, if his father did this, the family would definitely be in constant turmoil.

She could see how excited Yin Hua was after finding his younger sister, and she was genuinely afraid that he would act recklessly and give her mother a bad impression of her aunt, which would cause problems if they didn't get along in the future.

Yin Hua didn't catch the implication in Yin Yu's words, but when he heard Yin Yu mention his wife, his smile became very bright.

"You don't need to worry about that. If your mom knew about this, she would definitely praise me for doing a good job!"

Not knowing where his confidence came from, Yin Yu shrugged and said, "Good luck."

There was no way to explain it to Yin Hua. Yin Yu still remembered Yin Ning in the ward and wanted to comfort her sister who had lost her job when she got back.

The ward was completely different from what Yin Yu had imagined. Not only was Yin Ning not unhappy at all, but she also held Xia Wenhua's hand and thanked her profusely.

"Sister Xia, you're amazing! You actually dared to become a writer. Luckily you showed up, otherwise my parents would have insisted I go to the steel factory. You're my savior!"

Yin Ning grew up in luxury and never lacked anything. Even finding a job was easy for her. She had no idea what kind of opportunity her father was giving up for her.

Xia Wenhua had always wondered how the military could be connected to a steel factory, but after a few words from Yin Ning, she finally understood.

The job at the steel mill was found by the Yin family themselves. They initially looked for a secretary position, but Yin Ning didn't like sitting and writing all day, so she negotiated with the person in charge for a long time to see if she could change jobs.

Xia Wenhua felt quite troubled upon hearing this.

Yin Ning is immature, but how could the adults in the family be immature?

If the job was arranged by the military, as Pei Songbai's family member, she could apply as long as she met the requirements, and she would definitely do her best to try.

She couldn't accept the job she got through the Yin family's connections just because of Yin Hua's relationship with Pei Ying.

“Ningning, the job at the steel factory is pretty good. Your parents are thinking of you. Even if you don’t like it, you can change jobs after you get the job. You can’t just give up this job.”

Xia Wenhua had her own principles, and Pei Ying was also aware of them. The two of them unanimously decided that they could not accept this job.

Yin Ning thought she was saved, but she didn't expect it to end like this. She immediately grabbed Xia Wenhua's arm and shook it repeatedly.

"Sister Xia, please don't! I finally have a job at the steel factory, and I don't want to go there."

Seeing that Xia Wenhua remained unmoved, she gritted her teeth and revealed her plan, which she hadn't even told her family.

"There's a purchasing position that's opened up at the supply and marketing cooperative. As long as I can find a stable source of the new pastries that the food factory recently started producing, I can get them. I'm trying to figure out a way to get this position!"
