A former colleague recommended a job to Master Feng, but it was in Guangdong Province, which is far away on the other side of China.
Granny Chen interrupted Tian Dani hastily before she could even finish speaking: "Don't believe him. Jobs are hard to find these days. What kind of relationship do you have with him? And he's from Guangdong Province? You've obviously been scammed. I heard from Zhao Di that the people there are very poor. They used to go hungry. Things have only gotten a little better in the last few years. They look somewhat decent, but they haven't changed at heart. They're ruthless!"
Chen Zhaodi had never said this before; Granny Chen just said whatever came to mind.
Looking back, Granny Chen will definitely be seen as a regional slur.
Tian Dani hesitated: "I'm also very worried, but the salary is high, so I'm tempted again. That's why I came here to ask you for help inquiring about Zhao Di!"
Granny Chen scoffed, "High salary? How much higher? I'm a native of Beijing, no matter how much money they offer, I wouldn't want to leave!"
"At least 800, plus all the commissions, it should be over 1,000!"
"one thousand!"
Granny Chen was so startled that she fell off her chair. When Daya reached out her hand, Granny Chen slapped it away fiercely.
Granny Chen quickly stood up from the ground, stood in front of Tian Dani, and held up a finger.
"There really are a thousand?"
If the salary is that high, maybe her son could also earn that money...
Tian Dani was at a loss: "Is this salary not good enough? Old Feng's former colleagues guaranteed that as long as you go to Guangdong Province, you can get such a high salary!"
Granny Chen quickly sent Daya to call Chen Xiaodi over, but Chen Xiaodi was still lying in bed sleeping and refused to come. Instead, Chen Xiaodi's wife, who liked to join in the fun, came instead.
After hearing this, Chen's sister-in-law shook her head in denial: "With such high salaries, private business owners wouldn't make any money!"
"As one of the older women in my workplace put it, private bosses in the south are the most ruthless, exploiting us workers to the extreme. If the government were to implement policies to eliminate all these people, you'd see if anyone was laid off now..."
Before he could finish speaking, Granny Chen gave him a hard flick on the head.
Granny Chen: "You're so good with words, but I haven't seen you make much money. What did your private boss do to you? Did he kill your parents?!"
The eldest daughter, Chen Zhaodi, is doing better and better by working for a private boss, and she is enjoying the benefits as a result, receiving a living allowance of fifty yuan every month.
With this monthly allowance of fifty yuan, neither her daughter-in-law nor son-in-law dared to speak loudly in front of her.
Old Mrs. Chen: "No matter how much you say, it won't help. Listening to you is worse than not listening at all. I'm going to find Zhao Di! Even if Zhao Di doesn't understand, there's still her sister-in-law!"
Sister-in-law Chen was disgruntled. If Master Feng really had the ability to earn over a thousand a month, then she would have to make some serious plans.
She also wanted to know the outcome of the matter, so she suggested that they go together, and the three of them arrived at the store.
Standing at the shop entrance, Tian Dani was dazzled by the interior decoration, muttering to herself, "Old Chen, your Zhao Di is truly rich now..."
This store looks high-end just by looking at its exterior!
Granny Chen praised, "Although it's not a secure job, Zhaodi in our family earns several hundred yuan a month. Private bosses only look at ability and don't care about seniority. You get paid according to your ability!"
Tian Dani nodded vigorously. She liked this very much. Her husband had worked in the garment factory for most of his life, doing more work than a donkey, but he hadn't enjoyed much happiness and was eventually fired. Just thinking about it made her angry.
Chen's sister-in-law muttered under her breath, "They're so short-sighted. They only see the high salaries and the backbreaking work. Those of us working in collective enterprises earn less but do very little. Of course, we're the ones who are making a huge profit!"
Chen Zhaodi escorted the customer to the shop entrance and was startled to see Granny Chen and the others.
Chen Zhaodi first glanced at Zhou Hongyu, who was diligently calculating the accounts, and then quickly walked over.
"Mom! Didn't we agree not to cause trouble? I'll give you fifty yuan a month for living expenses!"
Pointing at Chen's sister-in-law, he said, "She can't do the work and doesn't meet my boss's hiring requirements. She absolutely cannot come to work at our store!"
Sister-in-law Chen scoffed angrily, her voice booming, "Big sister, I have a secure job. Although I don't earn much, it's still much better than you working for a private boss! Don't be too jealous of me!"
Chen Zhaodi immediately couldn't help but argue, and then they started arguing back and forth.
Zhou Hongyu silently put down the ledger and walked out.
"Enough!" Granny Chen snapped. Their neighbor, Tian Dani, was still there, and these two dared to start a fight—they were showing her no respect at all!
Granny Chen took Tian Dani's hand: "Zhaodi, someone has introduced a job in Guangdong Province to Master Feng from our alley. Master Feng used to work in a clothing factory! Aunt Feng wants to ask you about the situation in Guangdong Province!"
Guangdong Province? Never been there!
After hearing Tian Dani's explanation of the incident, Chen Zhaodi immediately concluded that her old neighbor had been scammed.
Chen Zhaodi: "Don't go! There's a job in Guangzhou that pays over a thousand a month? Do you believe I'm the district head, or do you believe this job is real?"
Zhou Hongyu chuckled and stepped out from behind, tapping Chen Zhaodi on the head.
"I'm the district head! Trust me!"
Zhou Hongyu turned to Chen's neighbor: "Guangdong Province is backed by two special administrative regions, and its economy is developing rapidly. It's not impossible. Explain it more clearly, and I'll give you my assessment."
Zhou Hongyu exuded an aura of reliability, and Tian Dani nodded silently in her heart as she explained the situation in more detail.
"...My husband, Lao Feng, was shocked when he heard that the monthly income was over a thousand yuan. He immediately said he didn't want to go. But luckily I was home at the time. I stopped him and asked him a lot of questions. Lao Feng's former colleagues could answer them fluently. I also know that because of the new job, their family's life is getting better and better. They are going to buy a house and a motorcycle in less than a year!"
“Our family has a heavy burden, so it’s impossible for us not to be tempted. He also explained to us that if Lao Feng went to Guangdong Province, he would be far from home and would only earn three to five hundred yuan a month at most, which is not worth it. But Lao Feng’s previous employer was not ordinary. It was one of the largest garment factories in Beijing, and there are only a handful in the whole of China. They valued Lao Feng’s experience!”
Tian Dani's mouth was dry from talking, so Chen Zhaodi reflexively poured her more tea.
Zhou Hongyu pondered, feeling that although she had said a lot, she still felt that she hadn't gotten to the point.
How's the company?
"It's newly opened! It's called Aiqiao! My colleague Lao Feng said they have offices in Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai, and other places. I've never heard of this brand before, and I always feel it's unreliable!"
Zhou Hongyu excitedly slammed her hand on the table, "Love Bridge!"
If you're not going now, what are you waiting for!
“We absolutely have to go to Aiqiao!” Chen Zhaodi exclaimed. “Aiqiao is one of our store’s suppliers. It’s normal that it’s not well-known. It mainly sells high-end clothing. China has only been well-fed for a few years, and there aren’t many rich people. Of course you wouldn’t know it!”
Tian Dani looked at the store's decor again. It was elegant and luxurious. An ordinary person like her would never think of going in if she passed by the store, because the things inside were obviously unaffordable.
"Then let's go!"
