Chapter 12 Selling a job and getting another one
Liu Xinghe had already sensed Director Wu’s strong will, so he didn’t waste any words and went straight to the point.
“Director Wu, I don’t need the job my mother gave me anymore. I’m looking for a suitable candidate. I thought you were a good person, so I came to ask you.”
“Little sister Liu, thank you for thinking about my aunt. I’m not going to hide it from you. I was just thinking about talking to you about this. My aunt’s daughter doesn’t have a job yet, and she’s worried about it. My aunt thanks you on behalf of the whole family!”
Director Wu was overjoyed. He moved the bench to sit next to Liu Xinghe, held Liu Xinghe’s hand, thanked her, and whispered, “Little sister, how much do you expect to change?”
“One thousand.” Liu Xinghe raised her fingers and made a one.
Director Wu frowned and thought when he heard the price.
"Auntie, you know that my job is a cashier in the finance office of a steel plant. It's a decent job, easy work, and the salary and benefits are very good. There is no job more suitable for a girl than this. It is a job that is hard to find. It's hard to find such a good job now. Many people are eyeing my job. If it weren't for the pressure from the public security comrades because I was injured, I don't know how many people would step on my doorstep."
Liu Xinghe's price cannot be changed. This is her minimum requirement. The market for her job is very good, so she doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell it.
"What's more, if your daughter does this job, she can earn back the money in less than three years. It's really a good job that can support the whole family."
Director Wu took all the words to heart, calculated in his heart, gritted his teeth, looked up and nodded firmly at Liu Xinghe.
"Okay, let's make it like this. You wait for me to go back and get the money. Let's get this done today."
Director Wu was about to leave. She felt a sense of crisis after hearing what Liu Xinghe said. In order to avoid any more trouble, she wanted to make it a sure thing as soon as possible.
The more Director Wu thought about it, the more she felt that this job was indeed good. The main reason was that the salary was high and the benefits were good. Jobs are hard to find, and there is a pit for every turnip, not to mention such a popular job. If you miss it, it will be difficult to find it again.
Liu Xinghe grabbed Director Wu and said, "Auntie, don't worry. I have one thing to do. Let's finish this before we trade. Don't worry
, the job is there and you can't run away." But she was anxious. The job was not going to run away, but it was not certain that the girl was not her daughter.
But Liu Xinghe said so, Director Wu was in no hurry, so she had to suppress her anxiety and sat down again: "Little sister, if you have anything else, tell Auntie quickly. Let's finish it early. It's getting late. After finishing the work, go home with Auntie for dinner."
I know Director Wu is anxious, but I don't know she is so anxious. It's only one o'clock in the afternoon and she just had lunch.
However, she was also anxious to get rid of it, but there was still something to do. Liu Xinghe was not in a hurry at this time. She had to finish all the things in the steel plant before she could leave here today.
"I heard that the factory director has returned. I have something to ask him. Director Wu, please take me to see him."
Director Wu knew that the factory director had a good relationship with the Liu family. In addition, Liu Xinghe had a work issue on hand, so he agreed without thinking:
"Little sister, I'll take you there. You've come at the right time. The factory director just returned from a business trip and is now in the office."
Director Wu hurriedly pulled Liu Xinghe to the factory director's office.
When they arrived at the factory director's office, Director Wu first went up to introduce Liu Xinghe's recent events to the factory director who didn't know anything yet. He then said some good words with righteous indignation before closing the door considerately and giving the space to Liu Xinghe and the factory director.
When Director Qian heard this, he was furious, but he suppressed his anger and smiled at Liu Xinghe in a friendly manner. He showed concern for her health, and after a few casual sighs, he turned around and talked about business, asking as if he had expected it:
"You came to see me today for work, right? Tell me what you think."
"Uncle, to be honest, I came here today to deal with my grandfather's work."
Liu Xinghe sat down without being humble or arrogant, took out a receipt from her bag and handed it over, and said calmly:
"Shen Qiang took over the job from my grandfather. At that time, my grandfather and you had agreed that even if Shen Qiang took over the job, it would have to be handed over to the Liu family in the future. The ownership of the job can only belong to us, the Liu family."
She paused, looked at Director Qian's normal expression, took out a newspaper statement, handed it over, and continued:
"Now that Shen Qiang is in trouble, I have published an announcement in the newspaper to dissolve our father-daughter relationship. This job has to return to our Liu family. Now, I am the only descendant left in our Liu family, so this job should belong to me. I came to you today to take back this job quota and collect Shen Qiang's salary for last month."
Director Qian looked at the old document in his hand, touched the words on it, and recalled some things from his youth. He sighed with a distant look in his eyes:
"Thinking back, our steel plant suffered retaliation from the enemy and a fire broke out. Thanks to your grandfather for protecting the important information. Afterwards, we rewarded your grandfather, but he didn't want anything. He just asked me to write this document
for him, stamp it with the official seal, and testify at the meeting. It seems that your grandfather is so far-sighted!" "Back then, Shen Qiang was a recognized good man and a good father. He was very kind to your mother. I even joked that your grandfather thought too much. I didn't expect that I was blind. That bastard is a black-hearted person, really a scum among us men."
Director Qian became angry as he spoke.
"I was only away for a few days, not even a month, and so many things happened. Damn, Shen Qiang is really good. Niece, is the result out? What can Uncle Qian do for you? Just tell me, and Uncle Qian will go and do it. I guarantee that Shen Qiang, that bastard, will not be able to escape from his clutches."
"Uncle, there is a result. It's death penalty. It should be executed in a while." Liu Xinghe looked at the time on her watch and revealed something to Director Qian: "Because they have signed me up to go to the countryside again, I want to finish this matter as soon as possible."
"Okay, this position originally belongs to your Liu family. Uncle will help you. Shen Qiang is the leader of one of the purchasing groups. This position can only be obtained through promotion. Uncle can only give you a quota for an ordinary clerk in the purchasing department. It is up to you to decide how to deal with it after you get the quota. Uncle will not interfere."
Factory Director Qian agreed readily and instructed:
"But you have to go to the countryside and cannot take up the position by yourself. Then many people are watching this job. You have to deal with it as soon as possible. If you want to find a good person, come to uncle to help you. I am afraid that if you get too excited, you will be remembered by others and cause trouble."
"Okay, I understand, uncle, thank you for your help."
Director Qian took out a blank red-headed letterhead and began to write the relevant materials. The general meaning was to strip Shen Qiang of his job title and let Liu Xinghe take over. After writing and stamping, he handed it to Liu Xinghe: "Let's go. I'll take you to the finance office to get the money and then you can handle it." "
Thank you, uncle."
Liu Xinghe took the document and looked at it, bowed gratefully, followed Director Qian to the finance office, and calculated Shen Qiang's wages for the two days he worked last month and this month.
A total of 49.5 yuan and four industrial coupons, a cloth coupon of five feet, a meat coupon of one catty, a tofu coupon of two catties, and a brown sugar coupon of one catty. There was also a benefit this month, one catty of fresh oranges for each person.
Liu Xinghe was envious and jealous when she saw the excellent welfare benefits!
Damn Shen Xi, if she hadn't signed up, she would have been able to work in the steel factory for a long time and worked until the unemployment wave in the 1990s.
Now, she can only look at a good job but not do it, and she has to go to the countryside to do farm work in the wind and rain.
Liu Xinghe signed her name with resentment and took all the benefits.
No, she had to think about this job again and think of ways to maximize its value and maximize the benefits.
After leaving the finance office and saying goodbye to Director Qian, Liu Xinghe was taken home by Director Wu, who had been watching her movements at the door of the office.
