Chapter 511 Commune Feed Factory Recruitment

Chapter 511 Commune Feed Factory Recruitment

You know, in this era of material scarcity and scarce job opportunities, a stable job is like the dawn that penetrates the haze, bringing infinite hope to people.

When the news that the commune feed factory was preparing to recruit workers spread to the surrounding villages like a spring breeze, the entire area was instantly ignited with enthusiasm.

The news first spread in nearby villages such as Zhoujiazhuang, Shangshui Village, and Shuangtian Village.

However, the reactions in each village were different. The villagers in Zhoujiazhuang had no intention of taking part in this recruitment opportunity. After all, the old branch secretary had specially convened a village meeting last time just to see how many people would sign up.

Who knew that no one from Zhoujiazhuang signed up, otherwise how could ten feed factory job vacancies be given to Shangshui Village.

When the villagers of Shuangtian Village learned about this, they were so excited that they couldn't express it in words.

For them, they rely on work points to make a living in the countryside, but they work hard but live in poverty.

The feed factory's recruitment is undoubtedly a golden opportunity to change your destiny.

The young men working in the fields, wielding hoes, had heated discussions with their companions, their eyes sparkling with anticipation for the future.

"I heard that the work in the feed factory is not tiring and you can get paid monthly. It's much better than digging for food in the soil here!"

The young man Zhang Dali wiped the sweat from his forehead and said excitedly to Zhao Qiang beside him.

After hearing this, Zhao Qiang's eyes were full of longing, and he nodded in agreement: "Yes, if we can get in, our family's life will definitely get better, and our parents will be relieved."

The women who were doing housework also stopped what they were doing and gathered together to talk, hoping that their men could get jobs in the feed factory so that they could live a better life.

Aunt Qian from Mentou Village held Aunt Sun's hand and whispered, "Aunt, your husband is strong and healthy, he will definitely be selected. When you enter the factory, don't forget to help other people in our village."

Mrs. Sun smiled and waved her hands: "Aunt Qian, please don't flatter my husband. Everyone is eagerly watching this opportunity, and we don't know what will happen. But if that day really comes, I will definitely not forget everyone."

However, the villagers of Shangshui Village were divided into two extremes. Those who did not get a place were very happy. They did not expect that they would have another chance. Even if they did not sign up this time, they did not lose out.

At most it's just a waste of time, but those who get the spots don't think so. If they had known there were free ones, they wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to draw, and they have to pay 500 yuan if they win.

After seeing this situation, Village Chief Wang also understood what the villagers were thinking.

"If you feel you are losing money, you can transfer the quota to someone from the same village, but you can't charge any fees."

If I didn't say this, I guess these ten places would definitely be sold to people from the same village, and not necessarily to people from the same village.

After hearing what the village chief said, the people who drew the quota started to have some small thoughts, but they didn't expect it to end just as soon as it began.

At this time, Wang Jianguo walked to the side of Li Guohua and said, "Guohua, do you still want your place?"

Li Guohua was quite confident in himself and felt that it would not be difficult to apply for the job: "Uncle Jianguo, do you want it?"

Wang Jianguo is not confident about his luck, and he thinks this kind of 100% chance of success is safer.

Li Guohua didn't want to pay the 500 yuan, so he said directly: "Uncle Jianguo, since you want it, I'll give it to you!"

Having said that, he prepared to leave.

But at this time, Wang Jianguo stopped him and said, "Guohua, can you go to the village chief to notarize it?"

Li Guohua was a little unhappy: "Uncle Jianguo, we are so familiar with each other, do you think I will regret it?"

He felt his dignity was insulted.

Wang Jianguo also knew that what he was doing was a very bad thing, but if he didn't do it, he would not be able to feel at ease.

"Guohua, I know you won't regret it, just think of it as Uncle Jianguo being stingy and go for it."

"After the notarization, I'll treat you to a meal!"

Li Guohua had no choice. After all, Wang Jianguo said so, so he could only go find Village Chief Wang.

After hearing what they were up to, Village Chief Wang said, "Guohua, think it over carefully. After the notarization, you can't go back on your word!"

Li Guohua still didn't care: "Village Chief, I know, hurry up, I'm waiting to go to Uncle Jianguo's house for dinner!"

Upon seeing this, Village Chief Wang stopped persuading them and took out a piece of paper, wrote something on it, and then asked Li Guohua and Wang Jianguo to sign their names and put their fingerprints on them.

Soon, the agreed recruitment time arrived.

The sun had not yet risen completely and the sky had just begun to turn pale, but the entrance of the feed factory was already crowded with people.

Wang Guowei and Lin Guohuai, as the persons in charge of the job fair, arrived at the scene early.

Looking at the bustling crowd in front of them, they were pleased with everyone's enthusiasm, but they were also aware of the heavy responsibility on their shoulders.

The recruitment site was packed with people, and the people who came to apply for the jobs blocked the gate of the feed factory tightly.

Many people set out from their homes before dawn and walked several miles to get here, for fear of missing this rare opportunity.

In the crowd, some were wearing coarse cloth clothes that had been washed so much that they looked bleached, and some had mud on their shoes, which were the marks left by their hurried journey.

Everyone has a vision for the future, with determination and desire in their eyes.

At first, people lined up in an orderly manner.

But as time went on, the line got longer and longer, and the crowd began to get restless. Some restless people, looking at the long line, wanted to cut in line and get their turn earlier.

A young man in a black coarse shirt with a cunning look in his eyes.

While people around him were not paying attention, he crouched, looked left and right, and quietly moved forward from the end of the team like a thief.

Every time he squeezed past someone, he felt proud of himself, thinking he was one step closer to work. However, his little tricks did not escape the eyes of the commune staff.

A burly, serious-looking staff member had already noticed his behavior, strode over, and shouted, "You! What are you doing? Are you cutting in line? Get back to the end of the line!"

The young man was frightened by the sudden scolding, his face turned red and white, and his eyes were panicked.

He wanted to quibble, but when he saw the stern look of the staff, he had to lower his head and return to the end of the line in shame.

As soon as this young man returned to his position, a few impatient people were ready to make a move.

They whispered, "There are so many people, how long will the line end? Let's cut in line."

As they spoke, they winked at each other and pretended nothing had happened as they squeezed to the front of the line.

For a moment, there was a small commotion in the team and the people behind started complaining.

Uncle Li from Mentou Village shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't cut in line, everyone is queuing! If everyone does this, the line will be in chaos!"

Uncle Wang next to him also echoed: "That's right, we must compete fairly! Everyone has come a long way, it's not easy for them."

Wang Guowei and Lin Guohuai saw this scene and rushed over to maintain order.

Wang Guowei shouted loudly: "Everyone, be quiet! Keep order. Cutting in line is not allowed! Anyone who cuts in line again will be disqualified from applying!"

Lin Guohuai also patiently advised: "Don't worry, everyone, as long as you meet the requirements, you will have a chance. Cutting in line is not only unfair, but will also affect the recruitment process."

Under their persuasion and warnings, those who tried to cut in line had no choice but to give up and return to the line obediently.

At this time, the recruitment site was attended not only by villagers from nearby villages, but also by many young people who had come from all over the city.

Most of them do odd jobs in the city and their lives are not stable.

When they heard that the commune feed factory was recruiting workers, they thought this might be a good opportunity to change the status quo, so they rushed there.

These young people are dressed relatively simply, but their eyes reveal the shrewdness and competence of city dwellers.

They asked the crowd about recruitment requirements and procedures and exchanged ideas with the surrounding villagers.

In the crowd, there was a young man wearing glasses named Li Hua.

He came from an ordinary family in the old city and had been doing odd jobs in the city with a meager and unstable income. When he learned that the feed factory was recruiting workers, he felt that this was a rare opportunity.

While watching the lively recruitment scene, he talked to the villagers next to him: "Brother, do you think it's difficult to apply for a job at the feed factory?"

The villager smiled naively and said, "I don't know either, but I heard that as long as you can endure hardships and work hard, you should have a chance."

Li Hua nodded and made up his mind: "I must seize this opportunity to change my life."

As time passed, the sun rose higher and the weather became hotter.

People lined up under the scorching sun, their clothes soaked with sweat, but no one left.

The staff were also busy, maintaining order and answering people's questions about recruitment.

At this moment, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and raindrops as big as beans fell without warning.

The crowd suddenly became chaotic and everyone looked for shelter.

Some people hurriedly opened the tattered umbrellas they had prepared long ago, while others hid under the eaves in front of the feed factory.

The order on the scene was impacted again. The staff shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the situation: "Don't panic, everyone, hide in the warehouse next door in an orderly manner!"

Wang Guowei gave orders in a loud voice, but the rain was so loud that his voice was soon drowned out by the noise.

Seeing this, Lin Guohuai immediately ran to a nearby radio station and reassured everyone through the broadcast: "Fellow villagers, don't panic. Follow the instructions of the staff and slowly move towards the warehouse. Pay attention to safety!"

Thanks to the efforts of the staff, the crowd gradually moved towards the warehouse in an orderly manner.

But at this moment, a little child got separated from his family and stood in the rain crying.

An enthusiastic middle-aged woman ran over, held the child in her arms, and while comforting the child, she looked around for the child's family.

After everyone finally settled down in the warehouse, the rain showed no sign of abating.

In the recruitment office, the roof started to leak due to the sudden rainfall, and several documents were soaked. Wang Guowei and Lin Guohuai quickly found a basin to collect the water, and carefully moved the important documents to a safe place.

"This is really a bad start." Lin Guohuai said with a frown.

Wang Guowei sighed helplessly: "There is no other way. We must deal with the current situation first. The recruitment work cannot stop."

The rain lasted for a long time before it gradually stopped.

When everyone returned to the recruitment site, new problems arose.

The mimeograph machine used for recruitment suddenly broke down and could not print the application forms normally.

The staff responsible for equipment maintenance hurried forward to check, and fiddled with it for a long time, sweating profusely in a hurry.

"What should we do? Without the form, the next applicant won't be able to fill in their information." A staff member said anxiously.

Wang Guowei thought for a moment and said decisively: "Let's write the form by hand first and have everyone fill in the basic information first, and then we'll find a way to enter the information later."

So the staff quickly found paper and pen and started writing the form by hand.

Just when everyone was busy, a quarrel was heard in the team again.

It turned out that two applicants had a conflict over a front position and almost came to blows. The staff quickly stepped forward to separate the two and severely criticized them.

After a series of twists and turns, the recruitment work finally continued.

Wang Guowei and Lin Guohuai sat in the recruitment office, reviewing the information of each applicant with a focused look.

The first applicant walked into the office. He was a young man. He was so nervous that he unconsciously tugged at the corners of his clothes with his hands and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Seeing this, Wang Guowei smiled gently and said, "Don't be nervous, young man. Let me briefly introduce myself first."

The young man took a deep breath and began to narrate his experience stutteringly, his voice trembling slightly.

While listening, Lin Guohuai took notes in a notebook, asked questions from time to time, and guided the young man to explain in more detail.

Some of the following applicants were nervous and stuttered when answering questions, while others were confident and introduced their strengths in a clear and organized manner.

One applicant was so illiterate that he was sweating profusely while filling out the application form. When the staff member found out, they immediately walked over and patiently helped him fill out the form.

The applicant was very grateful and kept thanking the teacher.

In the process of reviewing the materials, Wang Guowei and Lin Guohuai also encountered some difficult situations.

One candidate's profile looked a bit vague, and the description of his work experience was not very clear.

Wang Guowei frowned and asked the applicant for relevant details again. After careful verification, he confirmed the authenticity of his information.

Another candidate showed hesitation when answering the question about whether he could adapt to high-intensity work.

Lin Guohuai keenly captured this point and further asked him about his thoughts. The applicant admitted that he was not in good health and was worried that he would not be able to do the job.

Wang Guowei and Lin Guohuai looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and could only regretfully inform the other party that they might not meet the job requirements.

As time went by, the interviews proceeded in an orderly manner.

Although Wang Guowei and Lin Guohuai were exhausted after a busy day, they felt very happy to see so many people passionate about their work.

By the afternoon, most of the applicants had completed their interviews, with only a few still waiting in line.

Finally, the last applicant walked out of the office and the recruitment process came to an end.

Wang Guowei and Lin Guohuai looked at the mountains of application materials and felt deeply moved.

They know very well that behind these materials are the hopes and dreams of each family.

Next, they will carefully screen the most suitable candidates to inject new vitality into the commune feed factory.
