The man rolled his eyes and muttered, "Do you really think building a factory is a small matter? You are just bragging and you think I am a big shot."

Because they were not caught at the beginning, but their tail was wiped out, they were resented by the brigade members like the other person. Even the branch secretary assigned the most tiring and difficult work to the two of them, which led to their current resentment and now they are openly challenging them.

"This is the document approved by the county government. The funds have also been received. There is no need to doubt that the factory cannot be built..."

After some conversation at the sundry field, everyone went home with their own thoughts.

The village chief and the party secretary gave them time to think and prepare, and then raised funds three days later.

Qiao Yu waited for a whole day before taking the initiative to go to the Youth League Home.

Because of the factory construction problem, the guys have been working inefficiently these days and are discussing this matter. However, it is almost the New Year and there is not much work to do anyway, so let's not delay.

The educated youths in the Youth House are all here and have just prepared lunch.

When the educated youth saw Qiao Yu coming, they were all stunned.

The polite ones spoke up immediately: "Are you Comrade Qiao? Who are you looking for? Have you eaten yet? How about joining us for a meal?"

Qiao Yu was about to say something when a sharp voice interrupted: "If you want to be generous, don't bring me with you! Food is so scarce these days. If you want to treat people to a meal, share your share!"

The polite man's face instantly turned red, and he sneered: "Jiang Ping! If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!!"

After saying that, the polite man turned around and said to Qiao Yu: "I'm sorry, Comrade Qiao, I made you laugh. My name is Ji De. Please sit inside and I'll find you some dishes and chopsticks..."

"No, I came here after eating. I chose this spot because I thought everyone in the Youth House would be together, so I came here to talk. It's not that I'm being rude and come here to eat everyone's food for nothing."

Jiang Ping snorted, "You are quite good at recognizing appearances."

"Jiang Ping!" After scolding, Ji De looked at Qiao Yu apologetically.

Qiao Yu waved his hand nonchalantly, "You are the head of the Youth Institute, right? Hello, don't worry about me, I'm just here to talk about things, you guys eat yours, I'll talk about mine."

"Did you really come here after eating?"

"Really, Comrade Jide, you should eat first."

"All right."

Seeing that everyone had started to concentrate on eating, and even the small dish of salted vegetables was being snatched away, Qiao Yu coughed twice and started talking about the business.

"I think everyone knows what the village chief and the secretary said in the sunbathing field. But there is one more thing that the village chief and the secretary kept secret.

If the funds raised for building the factory are insufficient, my wife and I are willing to use our savings to cover the cost. So everyone does not have to worry about not being able to build the factory.

I know that you are educated youth from the city and you want to go back to the city, but there is a shortage of jobs and housing in the city. Rather than going back without a job and having to depend on your family, especially female educated youth...it is better to join this big group.

How expensive is it to buy a job in the city? But it’s different here. It’s half the price, and housing is not a problem. There are so many benefits and opportunities…”

Jiang Ping snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Why don't you tell the members of the brigade about your guarantee? Why do you come to us outsiders to talk about it?"

Qiao Yu thought this girl was brainless.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Comrade Jiang, the last piece of salted vegetable is gone."

Jiang Ping: !!!

Damn it! Her food is so salty!!!

Seeing the other party's face change slightly, Qiao Yu continued, "You city people are too proud to work in the fields, and I'm afraid you can't do any heavy work, right?"

I don't know who it was, but he followed her words and said, "That's right. They say we're going to support construction in the countryside, but for us intellectuals and farmers...it's a waste of our talents." The man paused after meeting Jide's cautious gaze.

"If you join the brigade members in the factory, you will also do basic work. I am sure you all feel that you are not being used to your full potential. So I came here this time to explain all this, which is equivalent to opening a back door for you guys. I also consider that you are intellectuals, high school graduates, and highly educated.

Who doesn’t love sitting in an office? Don’t you think so? ”

The educated youth had almost finished eating, and some of the chopsticks were not held firmly and rolled to the ground.

Sitting in the office in the factory...

Qiao Yu saw that several people's faces changed slightly, and his smile widened. "However, in addition to academic qualifications, the office also looks at the amount of donations. Otherwise, if the members find out later, won't the credibility of the branch secretary be questioned?"

Jiang Ping sneered: "Isn't this your main point?"

Qiao Yu thought that he came here today to raise more money, and if he could be patient for a while, everything would be fine...

"I know that you are not the only child in your family, but your parents should be very affectionate to you. In addition to the resettlement funds, they also provide monthly or annual subsidies. They should not care about this small amount of money, right?"

"How much do I need to donate to get a job?"

The most difficult person to deal with in the Youth League Institute, apart from Ji De, is probably Jiang Ping.

The person who asked this question was Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping started to think, and the other silent educated youth had their own balance scales in their hearts, so they naturally knew what to choose.

Qiao Yu: "Half as usual, five hundred."

Jiang Ping gasped, "Why don't you just go and grab it?!"

"Robbery? I don't want to be caught and put in a fenced yard."

"..." Jiang Ping was speechless for a moment.

Is that what she meant?!

Qiao Yu smiled and said without missing a word, "Not everyone can donate 500 yuan, and you have to graduate from high school. This has already eliminated most people."

Speaking is an art.

Obviously, it was these educated youth who should pay the money, but her tone made it seem that the qualification of donating 500 yuan was to raise their status.

"Five hundred is too much."

"Okay. Those with less than 500 employees will be hired as ordinary employees."

"..." Is that what she meant!

Jiang Ping was so annoyed by this weird tone that she didn't know how to respond.

This is Qiao Yu's brilliance. When facing the best, she can be even better than the best. When facing these intellectuals, she can also be shady and veiled without using any dirty words, successfully making the other party lose face.

The stalemate continues.

Finally, it was Jide who stepped forward and said, "Comrade Qiao, we can both take a step back, right?"

"Oh? Comrade Ji De wants to make concessions?" Qiao Yu raised the last syllable of his voice.

"Five hundred is too much. Even if we have money, one person can't come up with that much. How about four hundred?"

Qiao Yu chuckled.

Ji De frowned, not knowing what was so funny about what he said.

"This way, all of us in the Youth Institute can..."

Qiao Yu: "Why do I want all the educated youth in the Youth Institute to work in the factory? Didn't Comrade Jiang Ping call herself an outsider? Since you haven't integrated into this collective, if I let you all work in the office, wouldn't that be undermining the entire factory?

I believe you all know my background. I am the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, so naturally I will support the interests of the Zhou family and the Red Flag Brigade.

I will not relax the conditions and let you all sit firmly in the high positions, but let the members of the Red Flag Brigade work on the assembly line below. What is the difference between this and inviting a wolf into the house?

Okay, let’s get back to the topic.

Comrade Ji De, are you speaking for yourself or for the entire Youth Institute? I need an exact answer so that I can judge whether my trip today was in vain.

With just a few words, the image of the Educated Youth Institute that Ji De had worked hard to build over the years was destroyed, and his power was also shaken.
