A group of people set off in high spirits to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Upon arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Xu Weiguo noticed a large number of people inside. He guessed that most of them had heard inside information and were taking advantage of their day off to come.
Although they were told that only a few spots would be reserved initially, and even then, a high school diploma was required, they were also instructed not to spread the word.
But which family doesn't have a few people who meet the requirements but are currently unemployed?
There were so many people inside the supply and marketing cooperative that they couldn't even squeeze in.
Chen Zhaodi and Zhang Yumei took the lead, discussing how to work together to squeeze in and take a look.
Xu Weiguo quickly stopped them, saying, "Don't squeeze in and join the fun. I reckon someone will come out to maintain order soon. Let's just wait outside."
However, Xu Weiguo did not say it aloud, believing that there would be no more pre-selected spots this time.
After all, this kind of pre-selection happens everywhere, but as long as only a few people know about it, there's no problem, and it can even be considered a favor.
But now that so many people have come, how many pre-selected spots does he still have?
There are only a few pre-selected spots, and no matter who gets them, the rest of the people will be dissatisfied and might even report it.
Under such circumstances, having pre-selected spots would make the favor you receive seem like a hot potato.
If he's not mistaken, someone should come out to inform us soon.
Sure enough, not long after, the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative came out.
Because there were too many people and it was so noisy, he had to bring out a stool, grab a megaphone, stand on it, and shout, "Quiet down, everyone! Everyone, please be quiet! Listen to me!"
"There are no job openings here right now. As for the department store's recruitment, the job requirements will be announced in a month. Those who meet the requirements should fill out the application form, and then we will arrange an exam and select the best candidates!"
"Don't worry, everyone. We will definitely be fair, just, and transparent. Now you can all leave. We will be recruiting at the department store in a month!"
After he finished speaking, the manager finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the people from the supply and marketing cooperative slowly disperse.
He felt helpless. He had been hoping to get a spot from his superiors, but now that things had turned out this way, it was hopeless.
Although it is said that there will be a unified exam and that anyone who has graduated from high school can participate, many high school graduates actually don't learn anything at all, otherwise so many people wouldn't be using connections to get in.
The supply and marketing cooperative manager shook his head and sighed, then took the stool and loudspeaker and went back.
When Zhang Yumei heard that it would be a month before they could take the exam together, her heart sank.
She was afraid that Huang Qinqin would be disappointed. After all, when she was at home just now, although she didn't say it explicitly, her words implied that she could secure a pre-selected spot.
Zhang Yumei carefully observed Huang Qinqin and was surprised to find that not only was she not sad, but she was also excited. If she wasn't mistaken, Huang Qinqin even seemed eager to try!
Seeing Zhang Yumei looking at Huang Qinqin with some confusion, Chen Zhaodi explained to her, "In-law, don't worry. If it's a standardized test, she should be fine. She's always been incredibly lucky with exams since she was little!"
"You don't know this, do you? My sons Jianguo and Jianjun got their jobs by giving them to Qinqin after she passed the exam."
When Chen Zhaodi said this, you could tell from her eyes and expression that she was very proud and satisfied to have Huang Qinqin as her daughter.
Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianjun, who were following behind, also didn't think there was anything wrong with others knowing that their jobs were obtained through their younger sister.
After all, that's the truth. Although they felt that their younger sister had been wronged, they weren't afraid for others to know; in fact, they wanted more people to know.
That way, everyone will know how outstanding their little sister is!
Chen Zhaodi continued, "And she's really lucky. The steel factory hasn't publicly recruited for many years, but this year they actually recruited twice!"
"She was lucky the first time; she was the last one to be accepted. The second time, they were recruiting five people in total, and because of her experience from the first exam, she passed again!"
"Don't you think she's lucky?"
Not only was Zhang Yumei shocked when she heard about this, but even Xu Weiguo was surprised.
However, after her initial shock, Zhang Yumei was happy for Huang Qinqin. After all, since Huang Qinqin had passed the steel factory's recruitment exam twice, she should have a good chance of succeeding in the department store's recruitment next month as well.
Zhang Yumei genuinely hoped that Huang Qinqin could have a job, not that the family was short of money.
Furthermore, she believes that, if possible, women should have their own income so that they are not so vulnerable in their relationships and don't have to depend on others for everything they want to buy. This gives them more confidence and self-assurance.
Having your own money and having to ask others for money are completely different feelings.
Although Xu Junhui is her son, she doesn't think he would look down on his wife for not having an income, but what if he does?
Now that they are truly in love, Xu Junhui naturally grants her every request, and even feels that he is not doing enough.
Sincerity is the most precious thing, but it is also the most fickle.
You can't really put all your hopes on sincerity. What if the feelings fade later?
Take Xu Weiguo, for example. After his discharge from the military, all his wages were to be handed over. But in reality, he would only receive a portion of his salary before his discharge.
It was because he gave his demobilization pay to Grandma Xu that he learned that she and her two children had not lived well during his years in the army.
Out of guilt, I later handed over all my salary to her.
So, even though she has no income over the years, she has lived quite comfortably because Xu Weiguo's salary is all in her hands.
But no matter how much she liked Huang Qinqin, she couldn't interfere in their affairs. Whether Xu Junhui would hand over his salary to Huang Qinqin or not, she didn't intend to care.
Therefore, the best outcome would be for Huang Qinqin to have a job. That would make everyone happy.
Zhang Yumei genuinely likes Qinqin and sincerely hopes she can be happy in the future.
In Zhang Yumei's mind, having money gives her confidence.
Xu Weiguo was shocked by Huang Qinqin's abilities and generosity towards her family. He did not believe that luck alone could pass the recruitment exam.
While luck certainly played a part in her being able to pass two job recruitments in a row, the most important factor was her own ability.
After all, she wasn't the only one who took the first exam. On the contrary, he thought the competition would be even fiercer the second time.
