Chapter 14 Director Zhou of the grocery store, I am Xiaomei’s classmate

The two salesmen were so engrossed in their conversation that they had no idea that Liu Xinghe was eavesdropping. They just thought that the two of them were talking quietly and only they could hear them.

See, Salesman No. 2 also echoed with envy:

“She is living a very comfortable life. I have never seen any educated youth living such a good life. Last year during the Spring Festival, the girl next door to my house who went to the countryside came back to visit her relatives. She used to be so fair and beautiful, but now she has become pale and frighteningly thin. She looks older than her mother.”

“That’s not true. She works in the fields every day, doing dirty and tiring work. It’s normal for her to get old.”

Salesman No. 1 brought the topic back to where it had strayed a little, tapped her chin, and spoke in a sour tone:

"However, this does not include Director Zhou's daughter. I heard that she has been asking around recently to find out which factory is hiring and which has jobs to sell. She is looking for a job for her daughter and wants her to return to the city."

Salesperson No. 2 shook his head and sighed:

"It's not that easy to find a job in our city. There are hundreds or thousands of people eyeing a public recruitment vacancy, and for those internal recruitments, the job is filled before the news is even released. It's difficult. Her daughter may have to stay in the countryside for a long time."

Liu Xinghe thought to herself, she didn't know whether other people had the same situation, but she, Liu Xinghe, happened to have a job vacancy.

Salesperson No. 1 had a look on his face that said, "You are too young.

" "What's the big deal? If you really can't find a job, there is a way. I heard that Director Zhou's wife is ready to go through the retirement procedures in advance and let her daughter take over the job. Now she has a ready-made job and her daughter can return to the city."

Hearing this, Liu Xinghe next to her became more thoughtful and had a plan in mind.

The job quota in her hand can be of great use, and the benefits can be maximized. It works!

At this time, the two salespeople talked about other topics, and she didn't want to continue listening to the two salespeople's gossip. She chose a piece of blue-bottomed cotton cloth, paid the money and the ticket, and saw that it was getting late for them to get off work, so she hurriedly left the department store.

Well, of course, Liu Xinghe found a deserted place to put the things in the space, and then turned his feet and walked towards the grocery store next door mentioned by the two salesmen.

There were also two salesmen in the grocery store, but they were a bit cold, one looked at people with his chin raised, and the other ignored people.

So when she walked into the grocery store, she didn't rush to do anything, but bought some canned food, cakes and snacks that were characteristic of this era. When she was checking out, she looked around and asked in confusion:

"Huh? Why didn't I see Uncle Zhou today? Comrade, is your Director Zhou still in the store? Can you call him for me?"

"Do you know our Director Zhou?" The salesperson finally raised her arrogant and stinky face, lowered her "noble" chin, and looked Liu Xinghe up and down with a suspicious look.

"Yes, I am Xiaomei's classmate. Xiaomei asked me to help her find out about her job. She wants to talk to Uncle Zhou about it."

Liu Xinghe said without blushing. They were indeed classmates, and classmates from the same school are also called classmates.

After hearing what she said, the salesperson completely believed Liu Xinghe. His cold face and high chin disappeared. Instead, he opened his mouth wide in surprise and said,

"What? You have news about a job? Where is it?"

"Comrade, I'm sorry, I can only tell Uncle Zhou about this matter. It's about Xiaomei's important matter. I can't tell you for the time being."

Liu Xinghe shook his head apologetically and stopped talking after that.

The salesperson didn't say anything with any expression.

"Director Zhou is taking inventory in the warehouse. I'll call him for you."

The middle-aged salesperson who was standing next to the shelf and counting the melon seeds slowly stopped what he was doing and finally responded to him. He nodded to Liu Xinghe with understanding.

He turned around and told another salesperson:

"Xiao Liu, pour a cup of tea for this girl after she settles the bill, and wait for me in the lounge next to her."

After that, the middle-aged salesperson trotted towards the employee passage behind.

Although the comrade named Xiao Liu wanted to know what kind of job news it was, she also knew that the female comrade in front of her would not tell her, not to mention that it was related to the family affairs of her superiors, so she could only follow her thoughts in her patience and listen to the instructions of the salesperson who just left.

Director Zhou from the grocery store came very quickly. As soon as Liu Xinghe sat down, he hurried over and excitedly pulled Liu Xinghe to ask: "Little comrade, do you really have news about the job?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhou, and it can be confirmed immediately." Liu Xinghe smiled and nodded firmly: "Let's find a place to discuss in detail."

"Great."

Director Zhou had tears in his eyes and shook his fists excitedly.

Then he glanced at the salesperson behind him and the crowded place, and said to Liu Xinghe: "My dear, wait for your uncle. I will go and tell you a few things. We will go home and let your aunt cook a table of delicious dishes. Sit down and talk slowly." "Okay

, uncle, go and do your work. I'll wait for you here. There's no hurry." Liu Xinghe agreed immediately and picked up the tea on the table and drank it, showing that there was no hurry with his actions.

Director Zhou quickly turned around to tell the staff in the store what to do next, and asked the salesperson to send a plate of red bean cakes and a plate of melon seeds to Liu Xinghe at his own expense.

Ten minutes later, Director Zhou rushed back with his briefcase, packed up the unfinished cakes and melon seeds on the table for Liu Xinghe, and took her to call his daughter-in-law, Aunt Zhang Hong, who worked in the textile factory, to go home to discuss things.

The enthusiastic Director Zhou also went to the state-owned hotel to pack a few hard dishes, and Aunt Zhang Hong went to the textile factory cafeteria to pack dumplings and rice, and went back to fry eggs and boiled bacon. .

Liu Xinghe didn't say anything yet, but she ate a lot of meat and rice. Both of them put vegetables into her bowl, not worrying at all that she was a liar who came to eat and drink for free.

After eating and drinking, Aunt Zhang Hong came over with a plate of chopped apples. The couple finally became nervous and sat next to Liu Xinghe to ask about work.
