Chapter 76: Resigning will not bring any benefits
The next morning, Gu Wanxing said goodbye to Old Gu, rode his bicycle to the town, and spent the whole morning looking for a house. Finally, he rented a street-facing room in the old staff dormitory not far from the garment factory.
The house is some distance away from the supply and marketing cooperative and the main road with the heaviest traffic, but she has a bicycle.
Fortunately, bringing goods is not a problem.
Ten yuan a month, but because she was also an employee of the garment factory, they gave her a two yuan discount.
The people who can be allocated houses in the factory are those who work in offices.
This aunt is the former union chairman of the factory.
In his sixties, retired.
She rented it for three months at eight dollars a month.
There was a single iron bed in the room, and a table with three bricks resting on one leg, nothing else.
There are two windows in the room, one faces the street and the other opens onto someone else's yard.
So I just sealed the window with wooden boards.
After getting the key, she left. Not long after, she used her bicycle to carry two loads of goods, so that she could make up the bed without arousing suspicion from others.
The space contained the mattress and quilt she bought. A double mattress could be folded and laid on top of it, and the sheets and other things were also ready.
She simply made a bed, since she was sleeping in the space anyway.
In the evening, around seven o'clock, Gu Wanxing took his things and went to the landlord's aunt's house.
Although her room had a small door that led directly to the yard, it was not a good idea, so she simply added a bolt inside and did not ask for the key to the door.
In this case, she would have to go to the bathroom by herself. There was a toilet in her space, just behind the left side of the second floor. There was a small house. At first, she thought it was a small storage room, but after going in, she found out that it was a toilet.
But it was very clean and there was no smell at all. When she tried to use the toilet there for the first time, she even planned to buy herself a pair of big rain boots so that she could dig out feces in the future.
But when she went to class for the second time, she miraculously discovered that the class she had taken the day before was gone.
The toilet was as clean as before, and she even thought that there was someone else there, but when she threw a piece of toilet paper down, something shocking happened.
The paper quickly disappeared into thin air, and even the water stains she had flushed away were gone.
This shows that there is no filth in this space, or it has its own cleaning function. She guessed the former is more likely. After all, the garbage left by her cooking will disappear after a few minutes.
"Aunt, this is a small token of my appreciation. Thank you for renting the house to me. Otherwise, I would have nowhere to stay."
Gu Wanxing was invited into the house and the landlord Li Fang entertained her warmly.
Looking at the things on the coffee table, the old lady smiled with wrinkles on her face: "Whatever you have, it's my duty to help you when you are in trouble. Besides, you have contributed so much to our factory for so many years and are also our factory's model worker. What I do is really nothing. It's mutually beneficial."
Gu Wanxing: ...
She thought to herself that this guy really deserved to be the union chairman. Even after retirement, he still kept talking about brainwashing.
"Aunt, I'm here to ask for your help."
Of course, Gu Wanxing didn't buy her two cans of malted milk and roast chicken for no reason. She was still thinking about her job.
It doesn't feel good at all to be pressured by the workshop director to apply for resignation for a long time.
Li Fang paused, and the smile on her face faded a little: "I'm already this old, how can I help you?"
Gu Wanxing didn't care about the aunt's expression at all. She was sure she could have a say. After all, she was the chairman of the union. A word would be enough.
"I'm resigning. Our workshop director has been holding back my resignation application and won't process it. Could you please say something for me..."
Her voice got lower and lower as she spoke, and the way she rubbed her hands made her look extremely nervous.
His submissive look is very sympathetic.
Li Fang's frown relaxed immediately after hearing this. So this was the case. The factory had been wanting to lay off employees because of poor performance and delayed salary payments. In this situation, they should agree immediately.
If she has been pressuring me not to resign, then this period of time would be considered as absenteeism. No wonder she is anxious.
"Have you really thought it through? If you resign, you'll lose all the benefits."
"I've thought it through." Gu Wanxing nodded seriously.
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow. Who's your workshop director?" She didn't understand why people like that existed. She understood the intrigues for the slightest bit of profit in the past, but now she wasn't starving, and there was no conflict of interest between them.
How can there be such people?
"Zou Huijuan."
"Okay, I'll go to the Labor and Personnel Department tomorrow. I don't really know the person you're talking about."
"Thank you very much."
Gu Wanxing stood up gratefully and bowed to the other party to express his gratitude.
Li Fang initially thought that she was going to make some unreasonable request, but she didn't expect it to be such a small matter.
Gu Wanxing said goodbye to the landlord and left.
She only had to walk two steps east and turn the corner to reach the destination, so Li Fang wanted to open the door for her and let her enter through the yard.
Gu Wanxing politely declined her proposal, which made Li Fang feel very favorable towards her. Not everyone has a sense of boundaries.
At night, in the study in the space, she wrote down all her recent plans.
Tomorrow she will go to the road where the supply and marketing cooperative is and set up a stall. There is a free market over there. Although it is not big, it has a large flow of people.
Their Shahe Town is quite large. There are two large factories alone, with thousands of workers.
There are people from other places and locals. Whenever they pass by here on their way home, they will buy something to take back.
Her target was the female workers in the garment factories.
The next morning.
Gu Wanxing was awakened by the noise on the street. At around ten o'clock last night, the landlady knocked on her door.
I was given half a roast chicken.
It was the one she bought, so she had no choice but to sleep outside.
She made the small bed quite soft and sprayed it with insecticide in advance, so there were no mosquitoes and I slept quite soundly.
But it is really noisy in the morning. The disadvantage of living in a street-facing house is that it is noisy.
She cooked a bowl of tomato and egg noodles in the morning, specially beating an egg and making a poached egg, and drank up all the tomato and egg noodles without leaving any soup.
After eating and drinking, Gu Wanxing put on flared jeans. To match the jeans, she also wore a pair of white square-toed half-high heels.
She wore a knitted hollow bat-wing top that was waist-length and hung loosely on her body, making her look tall and straight-legged.
She is 1.65 meters tall, and when she puts on five-centimeter high heels, her temperament instantly improves a lot.
She used a colorful silk scarf to braid her hair into a low three-strand braid, which hung on the left side of her chest.
Then I sorted out the goods to be sold today and packed them individually in woven bags.
Bring all the hangers you asked the proprietress for in Guangzhou City.
After finding space, I pushed the bike out the door and took a lot of effort to pack it onto the back seat.
She tied a wide wooden board to the back seat to expand the space, otherwise the bicycle couldn't carry much.
"Xiao Gu, what are you doing?"
When Gu Wanxing was locking the door, Li Fang just came out of the house. Looking at the large and small packages tied to her bicycle, she felt a little suspicious.
Didn’t we just move in yesterday afternoon? Why are we moving again?
Li Fang seemed to be lost in thought.
