After eating a steamed bun with a feeling of sadness, Lu Wensheng planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. She had to take care of her work first. No one else could take away what she couldn't get!
I think the original owner was also stupid. If she died by hitting her head against the wall, wouldn't everything she had just go to that family of vampires?
But to some extent, she still expressed her understanding. After all, the original owner was still young and had been bullied by that family for so many years. It would be strange if she didn't become useless, okay...
Lu Wensheng stopped a man wearing a well-tailored suit and carrying a briefcase on the road and asked about the time.
It was just past one o'clock, and she didn't know whether the supply and marketing cooperative had a lunch break. She had nowhere to go anyway, so she decided to try her luck.
There were no cell phones these days, so people had to rely on watches to tell time. After she sold her job, she would go to the black market to see if there were any watches for sale. She didn't want the watches from the supply and marketing cooperative anymore, because no one would sell them to her without a watch ticket.
Lu Wensheng was not in a hurry and walked leisurely towards the supply and marketing cooperative. Just as he passed a fork in the road, he saw a man and a dog running stealthily towards the alley ahead.
The black market should be in front, right? Thinking that she would also go there in a while, she followed behind stealthily, wanting to get to know the entrance first, so as to avoid the trouble of finding it later.
Thinking of this, Lu Wensheng also looked around like the man, and after making sure that there was no one around, she rushed into the alley. After she turned several alleys panting, she saw the man just now trading with someone. It was confirmed that this was the black market!
She has to hurry to the supply and marketing cooperative now, as she has some important business to do.
Following the memory of the way here, I ran all the way, passing through several alleys before standing on the street again. After catching my breath, I wiped the non-existent sweat from my forehead and walked leisurely to the supply and marketing cooperative.
It must be said that the red slogans painted everywhere on the streets of the 1970s, the gray houses, and the big-character posters posted not far away all reminded her of the retro streets she had seen at the film and television base in her previous life. Don't say it, it's really similar!
Lu Wensheng had seen a lot along the way. When she passed a clinic, she went in and changed the gauze that had been wrapped on her head for who knows how long, thinking about leaving a good impression on her former leader whom she had never met.
When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, they were already at work. Lu Wensheng found a girl in the department store who looked easy to talk to. He asked:
"Hello, comrade. I would like to ask how to get to your director's office?"
Tian Fang noticed Lu Wensheng when he entered the room. The girl was fair and clean, with almond eyes, willow eyebrows, peach cheeks and cherry lips, like a porcelain doll, but too thin, as if she could be blown down by a strong wind. When her eyes fell on the gauze wrapped around her head, she couldn't help but have a trace of pity in her eyes. She said softly:
"You are the new colleague, right? See the corridor in front? Go to the end and turn left. It's the first room on the right."
Finally, he added kindly: "The director's surname is Tian."
Lu Wensheng naturally felt the other party's kindness. He thanked him sweetly and walked towards the director's office.
"Knock knock knock!" Lu Wensheng knocked on the door.
"Come in," a deep voice came from inside the door.
Lu Wensheng took a deep breath and pushed the door open. Huh? It turned out to be an acquaintance. This world is really small.
Lu Wensheng was only slightly surprised for a moment, then returned to normal. This man was exactly the man in a suit whom she had stopped on the road half an hour ago.
Director Tian naturally recognized the girl in front of him: So this is... the reason you came here to ask for the time?
Thinking of this, he not only frowned, but also looked down at his watch and said seriously: "It is now 1:45 pm."
Lu Wensheng was a little confused...
No, what does this mean? Do I have to report the time when I enter the office?
Suddenly she thought of something and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Feeling a little rude, she immediately straightened her expression and explained:
"Hello, Director Tian. My name is Lu Wensheng, and I am an unemployed employee of our supply and marketing cooperative. First of all, thank you for telling me the time on the way. Secondly, I came here because I want to ask you for help."
Director Tian felt a little embarrassed when he realized that he had misunderstood. He coughed lightly and said:
"I wonder if Comrade Lu needs my help with anything?"
Lu Wensheng got straight to the point and said:
"Director Tian, this is the case. This job was assigned to me by the Street Office. Due to some personal reasons, I cannot take this job, so I want to ask you if I can transfer this position."
Director Tian was so excited. Now the work is basically one person per job, and when the old ones are no longer able to do their job, the younger ones will take over.
Especially the salespersons in their supply and marketing cooperatives, who were protected from the elements and rain, and who were really hard-working jobs! Now that this young comrade in front of her wanted to give up his position, how could she not be excited!
After he suppressed the agitated emotions in his heart, he asked:
"Are you serious?"
Lu Wensheng naturally nodded in agreement.
"Sit down, sit down, Comrade Lu, sit down and talk."
Director Tian has a daughter who just graduated from high school this year and is worried about not being able to find a job. The neighborhood office has come to her home twice, and tomorrow is the deadline.
If they can't find a job, they will be forced to go to the countryside. Their family has been so worried about not having enough food to eat these days. It seems that there is always a way out.
"I wonder when Comrade Lu can take over?"
"The sooner the better. I'm going to the countryside in the next few days."
Director Tian was puzzled. Why would someone go to the countryside when he had such a good job? He was afraid that this was a trap, so he decided to ask for clarification.
But before he could ask, Lu Wensheng said it herself. She knew what Director Tian was worried about, and she understood that it was human nature. So she pointed to her head and said:
"This is not something to be afraid of. Director Tian, I am not satisfied with what you said..."
Lu Wensheng talked about the family affairs, starting from her father's sacrifice and ending when she committed suicide by banging her head against the wall. She blurted out everything at once. She didn't have any awareness of "family disgrace should not be made public". She even wanted to tell the world, okay?
Director Tian was completely stunned after hearing this. How could one be so shameless...?
Looking at the little girl in front of him, who was the same age as his youngest daughter, he could not help but sigh in his heart:
Oh! He has to live well, he has two daughters. What if he dies one day...
I dare not think about it!
Lu Wensheng had been keeping his head down pretending to be a quail, but when he saw that the person opposite him hadn't spoken for a long time, he couldn't help but look up at him in confusion.
Uh…it seems Director Tian’s thoughts have wandered off to who knows where…
"Um, Director Tian, do you want it?"
"Yes, yes, yes, of course. I wonder how much Comrade Lu wants to sell it for?" Director Tian asked quickly.
