Chapter Four: Transfer of Ownership
After eating and drinking their fill, Shen Yuzhu rode her bicycle first towards the food processing factory. Zhong Fu and Shen Yuxia rode in the tricycle that had been waiting. Since they entered the Shen family, the mother and daughter had never suffered any hardship, and they were unwilling to do something as strenuous as riding bicycles.
The office director of the non-staple food factory was surnamed Chen. He was the cousin of Shen Yuzhu's maternal grandmother. He was the only member of the Chen family in Haicheng, making him Shen Yuzhu's distant cousin. He usually took good care of her.
Shen Yuzhu hadn't been to work for two days, and he was a little worried. He was just about to send someone over to check on her when he saw her come in carrying a small bag, her face covered in sweat, and she looked very anxious.
"Yuzhu, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Uncle, my family wants me to transfer my job to my stepsister. Could you help me with the transfer procedures, but remember not to hand it over to them?"
She took a shortcut to come here just to let Chen Huatao know.
"What do you mean? This job was arranged for you by your grandmother's old friend. Do you know how difficult it was? How can you just give it to an outsider like this?"
Chen Huatao had just snapped out of his daze after being called "cousin" when he heard this infuriating news, and he almost exploded.
"Uncle, just listen to me. I'll explain this to you later. It's not really going to be transferred to her. Just don't hand it over to your superiors."
"I......."
As the sound of high heels grew closer, Shen Yuzhu quickly lowered her head and stood timidly by the desk. Chen Huatao was furious, and even though he was unhappy, he knew that his niece already had a plan.
When Shen Yuxia came in, she noticed that the two people in the office looked a little off, so she didn't dare to say a word. Zhong Fu, on the other hand, approached her with a smile.
"Director Chen, I think my Yuzhu has already told you about the situation. She has to go to the countryside, and her job can only be transferred to Yuxia. I'm really sorry, but please handle it as soon as possible!"
As she spoke, she took a small box out of her bag and gently pushed it toward Chen Huatao.
"What do you mean? Take your things away. Humph, this is a food processing plant. Don't bring your family's low-class ways here. You've only been working here a short time and you already want to transfer? Do you think this iron rice bowl is child's play? Giving up this person today and that person tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault as the mother, Yuzhu, say something!"
Shen Yuzhu pursed her lips, winked at Chen Huatao, and then said in a wronged tone, "Director Chen, please handle it for me. My departure date for the countryside has already been set, and if the transfer isn't processed, it will be too late."
Chen Huatao received his niece's signal, snorted, and reached out to take the box that Zhong Fu had taken back. He figured he might as well take the things from his aunt.
Zhong Fu sighed and rolled her eyes as she watched Director Chen throw the box into the drawer. "He was just speaking so righteously, but he's still just a cheapskate, a petty bourgeois."
Shen Yuxia filled in her information on the form, signed her name, and Shen Yuzhu pressed her fingerprint. The job transfer was then considered complete.
With excitement in her heart, Shen Yuxia gave Chen Huatao a confident smile.
"Director Chen, when can I start work?"
Come back in a week.
Shen Yuxia's smile froze, and she said with dissatisfaction, "Why is it taking so long?"
With a loud "smack!", Chen Huatao silently moved his hand, which was throbbing with pain, under the desk.
"Are you the director or am I the director? Why don't you become the factory manager of this food processing plant? There are no procedures for the transfer, no need for the factory manager's signature. If you're the factory manager, are you like a mother? You can make him do whatever you're told. Isn't he busy?"
Shen Yuxia's face flushed red from the rebuke. Since entering the Shen family, she hadn't been so publicly humiliated in many years, and she couldn't even lose her temper.
Zhong Fu quickly offered a few words of comfort, then pulled Shen Yuxia out of the office. After they left, Shen Yuzhu gave Chen Huatao a thumbs up.
"Uncle, I'll come to your house to visit you later!"
"good."
At the entrance of the food processing plant, Shen Yuxia leaned on Zhong Fu's shoulder, tears streaming down her face, feeling utterly wronged.
"I just want to ask, why is he so fierce? Waaah... Mom, does he think I'm easy to bully?"
"Alright, sweetheart, stop crying. It breaks my heart to see you crying like that. I'm afraid that Director Chen looks down on Shen Yuzhu and is taking it out on you. Don't be afraid. I'll talk to your father later. He knows people there. Once you have a stable job, we'll deal with that Director Chen..."
"snort!"
Shen Yuxia then sniffed the air and awkwardly wiped away her tears.
When Zhong Fu saw Shen Yuzhu come out, she quickly helped Shen Yuxia straighten her clothes. No matter what, she couldn't let that little bitch from the Shen family make a fool of her daughter.
"Yuzhu, your maternal grandmother has been concerned about your sister's job. Now that it's settled, Mom is going to take your sister there. You can go home by yourself, okay?"
"Okay!"
Zhong Fu's throat tightened. Although Shen Yuzhu agreed readily, she felt a little flustered for some reason!
