In a blink of an eye, it was time to report to the Jingshi Food Factory.

Huo Qiqi got up very early that day. After washing up, she simply ate two big meat buns and drank a cup of soy milk, then rode her bicycle to the food factory.

When Huo Qiqi arrived at the factory gate, she saw Tang Lili at the gate. There was a brand new bicycle parked next to Tang Lili. Huo Qiqi thought about it and then understood.

Tang Lili's family is well off. Before going to the countryside this time, Tang Lili was able to find a job in a food factory, which made the Tang family very proud.

It is very hard for girls to go to the countryside. Tang Lili's parents knew this from their daughter's letters. Now that Tang Lili no longer has to go to the countryside, the old couple are also happy for her.

After Tang Lili became an employee of the food factory, the Tang family had one more worker.

After Tang Lili got a job at the food factory, she wanted her parents to help her with some money to buy a bicycle, and she promised to pay her back with her salary in the future.

Tang's parents are also straightforward people. They know that their daughter's work is a big deal. In addition, Tang's father and mother also have jobs. Although their salaries are not very high, the combined monthly salary for the two of them is more than 70 yuan. A bicycle plus a bicycle ticket costs 200 yuan. Tang's father and mother can still buy it if they grit their teeth.

On the one hand, buying a bicycle can help Tang Lili work properly, and on the other hand, it can also be regarded as an additional item for the family. You know, in 1975, bicycles were still very valuable.

"Qiqi, I'm here." Tang Lili was still very happy when she saw Huo Qiqi.

The two arrived early and the door was not open yet. They found a place sheltered from the wind and chatted casually.

As the two sisters continued to talk, the factory gate finally opened slowly. After waiting for all the workers to enter the factory, the two sisters came to the guard post and were let in after a simple registration at the security department.

Although the two sisters worked in the same factory, they were in different departments. Huo Qiqi worked in the personnel department and Tang Lili worked in the materials department, so when they entered the factory, they reported to their respective departments.

"Hey, Xiao Wu, tell me, are the people who came to our personnel department this time easy to get along with? I wonder if there are more men or women," Lao Wan said to Xiao Wu while holding a teacup.

"Either there are more men or more women. Who knows if they're easy to get along with? These days, it's hard to predict a person's personality. But there are only two possibilities for someone to be able to enter a food factory like ours with over a thousand employees: either they have connections or they have the ability."

Lao Wan, after hearing Xiao Wu's analysis, couldn't help but nodded. Lao Wan has been working in the food factory for almost 10 years, and Xiao Wu has only been here for about 2 years. As an old man in the food factory, there are some things that don't need to be said too clearly.

Since Huo Qiqi was a new clerk in the Personnel Department, she saved herself some trouble and quickly went to the Personnel Department to report in with her documents.

"Hey, who are you? What do you do? Why are you in our personnel department?" A noisy, elderly woman's voice interrupted the conversation between Xiao Wu and Lao Wan with cursing.

"Xiao Wu, what's going on with Xue Wanli? Why is she so angry? Did she eat garlic yesterday? That's why she's so angry."

"Who knows? You know that Xue Wanli is a troublemaker. If she hadn't had that slight connection with the deputy director's wife, she would have been kicked out of the personnel department long ago."

"Hello, comrade. I'm the new personnel officer. My name is Huo Qiqi."

Huo Qiqi, as she was new here, tried to be patient and explained to Xue Wanli patiently.

"I don't care who you are. As long as I'm here today, you can forget about reporting." Xue Wanli looked as if she was unhappy and didn't want to bother with him.

Seeing Xue Wanli acting like a scoundrel, Huo Qiqi didn't understand why this old woman was targeting her. Could it be that she was in menopause?

"Xue Wanli, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid of being punished? How many times have you quarreled with your colleagues?" A familiar voice sounded in her ears. Before she finished speaking, Director Chen, the chief examiner of the interview, appeared at the door.

Director Chen was very happy to see Huo Qiqi. She liked this smart and talented girl very much. After the recruitment day, she also heard that Deputy Director Xu wanted to buy Huo Qiqi's job. She was very worried that Huo Qiqi would sell her job. Unexpectedly, this girl actually showed up on time to report.

Director Chen said to Huo Qiqi happily, "Comrade Huo Qiqi, I'm glad you're here. Welcome!"

Seeing Director Chen's reaction, both new and old employees in the office were surprised. Could it be that Huo Qiqi was a relative? Director Chen and this beautiful girl seemed very familiar with each other.

In the office, everyone knows that although Director Chen is very good to his subordinates and often takes care of them, he has very high demands at work. Therefore, the office employees both love and fear Director Chen. They never thought that it would be so rare to see Director Chen's smiling face in the office.

"Comrade, I, Huo Qiqi, come here to work, contributing to the development of the factory out of love. I don't cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either. If you target me next time, don't blame me for fighting back."

Huo Qiqi originally intended to make money in harmony and keep a low profile, but if she kept giving in, it would encourage the arrogance of some people, so she had to stand up when it was time to be tough.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, the eyes of several colleagues towards Huo Qiqi changed, and they became more wary.

When Xue Wanli saw the pair of sharp eyes on Huo Qiqi's pretty face, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. There were two reasons why she made things difficult for Huo Qiqi. On the one hand, she knew that Huo Qiqi had offended Deputy Director Xu, and suppressing Huo Qiqi was just to make Deputy Director Xu look at her in a higher regard, so that she could get an approval from Deputy Director Xu and have an extra backer. On the other hand, Huo Qiqi was too beautiful. Originally, she was the only female comrade in the Personnel Department, and her appearance was not bad, but it was different when Huo Qiqi came. Huo Qiqi was young, beautiful and energetic. Although Huo Qiqi dressed up and made herself ugly before going out, she was still very attractive.

"Xiao Wu, please complete Huo Qiqi's employment paperwork. Xue Wanli, your attitude towards your colleagues is seriously flawed. Write a 5,000-word self-criticism before leaving get off work."

After arranging Xiao Wu to help Huo Qiqi with the entry procedures, he loudly scolded Xue Wanli. Xue Wanli was the deputy factory director's wife, and she herself had connections and relationships.

After completing the onboarding process and Xiao Wu's brief introduction, Huo Qiqi learned about the personnel department's makeup. It consisted of 10 people: Director Chen, Deputy Director Xu, and eight staff members. Among the veteran staff members, Xue Wanli was a relative, and some of the new staff members had purchased their jobs. While the department might appear small, it was bound to be filled with intrigue and strife.
