It wasn't that she wanted to meddle in other people's business, it was just that the female voice sounded familiar.
Shao Jingque stood on tiptoe to look back, and sure enough, he saw a familiar face in the bustling crowd - Ding Ling!
Seeing Ding Ling's thin body carrying a large luggage bag and walking into the alley with a man in a striped shirt, Shao Jingque shouted anxiously:
"Ding Ling——"
Although there was a lot of noise outside the train station, the singer's strong point was her penetrating voice. As soon as she opened her mouth, Ding Ling, who was a few meters away in the crowd, turned her head with a puzzled look, obviously hearing someone calling her name.
Shao Jingque waved at her hurriedly. Ding Ling took a closer look and was immediately overjoyed. She jumped up and waved at her, saying:
"Sister Jingque! Sister Jingque!"
Shao Jingque squeezed towards her, and Ding Ling also wanted to get closer to her, but was grabbed by the man next to her:
"Where are you going? Hurry up and meet up with everyone else so we can head to Zhancheng together. Don't leave so many people waiting for you!"
Ding Ling pointed at Shao Jingque who was not far away, turned around and said with a smile:
"Boss, I met an acquaintance. I'll be leaving soon after a quick chat!"
The man looked in the direction of her finger, and his two green bean-sized eyes immediately lit up.
Compared with the woman in front of him who made his eyes light up, Ding Ling could only be considered a girl next door. This beautiful woman could be called the best in the world!
He rubbed his hands together in excitement. If he could get this woman to Zhancheng with him, wouldn't that be like finding a treasure trove that could make him rich?!
There is no need to worry about lack of business for goods like hers. She is just afraid that she will be too busy to handle all the customers every day. The price she charges is not comparable to that of ordinary goods like Ding Ling.
The more I thought about the "striped shirt," the more beautiful it became. Looking at Shao Jingque was like seeing a walking unity, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning from ear to ear:
"No hurry, no hurry, just chat. It's fate that we can meet so many people at the train station!"
It would be even better if I could talk about going to Zhancheng to "work" with them!
At present, job opportunities in all walks of life are almost all limited. When the young people in the family finish their studies and reach working age, the parents will retire and give their jobs to their children.
But at that time, the country had not yet implemented family planning, and every family had many children. A couple could only spare two jobs at most, so the employment prospects of other children in the family became a problem.
People who are brave and quick-witted heard that there are more opportunities in coastal cities, so they went there early to make money.
More people, based on the pioneers of their predecessors, embarked on the road to work in the coastal areas. Many job seekers also came to the inland areas. For convenience, they often gathered near the train station to recruit workers.
But the coastal cities are thousands of miles away, and not only do people feel uneasy about being away from their hometowns, but they also have to face various tests of human nature.
There are all kinds of people among those who come to the mainland to recruit workers. No one can guarantee that they will get the job agreed upon during the recruitment process after traveling thousands of miles to the coast. Whether the salary can be paid on time also depends entirely on the boss's character.
But this is not the worst case scenario. One of the worst cases nowadays is to lure decent women into "going to the sea" -
After using sweet words to trick people into coming to the coast, they tell them that they have to do the work of "serving" others. If they refuse, starving for three days and three nights is the least they can do.
If they still refuse to obey after being starved, the next step will be violence. Except for their faces, their entire bodies will be beaten until they are covered with bruises. They will not even apply medicine and will be left to cry out in pain.
If you encounter a stubborn person who would rather die than obey, you can destroy her mentally, force her to have sex with you, or inject her with addictive substances...
The various dirty means used are beyond ordinary people's imagination, and the ultimate goal is to make people fall into their trap and become tools to make money, completely losing their human dignity and freedom.
Shao Jingque noticed the "Striped Shirt" man looking at her and immediately frowned.
Just now, when she heard the conversation between the two, she felt something was wrong. The uncouth tone of voice coupled with the uncouth dress of the man was a red danger warning in Shao Jingque's eyes. Only a young girl like Ding Ling, who was not well-versed in the world, would not notice it.
"Ding Ling, I didn't expect to see you here. How's your dad?"
When Shao Jingque asked about her father, Ding Ling smiled somewhat reluctantly:
"Thank you for your concern, Sister Jingque. My dad just had surgery. It was a success and he is now recovering in the hospital."
Shao Jingque carefully observed Ding Ling's expression and saw that there seemed to be some worry between her brows. He then asked:
"Then where are you going if you're not staying in the hospital with your dad?"
Ding Ling was carrying a large luggage bag, and it was obvious that she was going on a long journey.
She twitched the corners of her mouth, and her large, distinct black and white eyes showed signs of fatigue.
"Sister Jingque, my dad's surgery used up all the money I borrowed from relatives and friends. He still owes the hospital bills. I heard there are more job opportunities and higher salaries in the coastal areas, so I want to give it a try."
Shao Jingque nodded. There was nothing wrong with Ding Ling's idea. Whether she wanted to earn money to treat her father's illness or to improve her life, there was nothing wrong with it.
But the job she found didn't seem very reliable. Which respectable company would send someone who looked so unreliable to recruit workers?
"So what kind of job did you find, and where is it?"
When talking about her new job, Ding Ling's eyes lit up and she said excitedly:
"Sister Jingque, I'm so lucky this time that even I can't believe it."
"I just got here today on my first day and I saw that the Zhancheng Textile Factory was recruiting female workers. The salary was 30 yuan a month, and it also included food and accommodation!"
"I can go to Zhancheng and work for half a year to pay back the money owed to my relatives and friends, and I can even send the extra money back to my dad."
Zhancheng Textile Factory?
Organizations with such names are generally state-owned enterprises. How could they possibly come across provinces to a commercial city thousands of miles away to recruit people?
Shao Jingque expressed the doubts in his mind, but Ding Ling looked confused. It was obvious that she had never thought about this problem at all. She didn't even have any understanding of the employment structure of state-owned units. Before Shao Jingque raised the question, she didn't realize there was any problem at all.
"No, it's the Zhancheng Textile Factory, not the Zhancheng Textile Factory!"
The man's expression changed when he saw this, and he immediately interrupted and said:
"Our Zhancheng is different from your inland areas. There are many private enterprises and more than one textile factory. Ours is also owned by a private owner. But don't worry, your salary will not be reduced by a penny!"
Ding Ling nodded in confusion. She had heard about this from her brother Hu Zi, who had made a lot of money and came back to the village to show off. There were many private bosses in coastal cities, and some large factories hired more workers than the people in their village.
But Shao Jingque still felt something was wrong, so she asked Ding Ling:
"Textile factories usually only hire experienced workers. Can you do textile factory work?"
Ding Ling shook her head and replied:
"I told my boss I had no experience working in a textile factory, but he said he could teach me as long as I was willing to learn."
