Chapter 379 Significance
Lin Jidong said, "I'm currently working as a temporary worker in the cafeteria, but I don't really like this job. I hope you can help me find a better one."
A better... job.
Sun Baojun was speechless after hearing this.
Lin Jidong really dares to speak his mind.
He felt that Lin Jidong should be grateful to Huo Chunyan for helping him find this job, but he wasn't grateful at all, and even complained about the job.
In his opinion, Lin Jidong is so old, what is he being picky about? There are many people who want to work in this canteen, and it is only because Huo Chunyan has connections that Lin Jidong was able to take the job. Yet Lin Jidong doesn't even want to do it.
Even if this job is temporary, it's still at the clinic, and because Huo Chunyan spoke up, Lin Jidong won't be fired. If he does well, he might even be promoted to a permanent position in the future.
He has very high standards.
He wanted a better job.
What kind of good job does Lin Jidong want? Most jobs probably wouldn't even meet his standards.
Sun Baojun then refused: "I'm just an ordinary soldier. I don't have any connections to find you a good job. Your current job was found for you by my wife Chunyan. If you want to do it, then continue doing it. If you don't want to do it, then resign. Anyway, no one is forcing you to do it."
Lin Jidong said, "How could you not have connections? Your wife's brother is Deputy Division Commander Huo. With just one word from him, he can arrange a job for me. He can easily give me a permanent position. Who would disobey him?"
Sun Baojun stared at him coldly, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
Lin Jidong clenched his fist and said, "My request isn't actually that high. I just want to be able to work in the factory as a manager. That shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
Sun Baojun was so angry he almost laughed.
Shen Zhixia got her job as an ordinary employee at the factory through connections, but she also paid for it. Lin Jidong, on the other hand, had a much more ambitious plan. He didn't want to spend a single penny, and he even wanted to be in management.
The management positions in the factory are built up over time, step by step, not just through connections. Lin Jidong's idea was too idealistic.
Sun Baojun said expressionlessly, "Do you think being in the factory's management is so easy? It's been full for a long time now, there are no vacancies."
He was telling the truth. The management positions in the factory are full. If you really want to be a manager, you have to start from the bottom. If you have the ability, you can even squeeze out the previous managers.
How can someone expect to directly become a manager, do nothing, and enjoy the best treatment?
He wouldn't even dare to do that in his wildest dreams. Lin Jidong is no good person, but he has very beautiful ideas.
Lin Jidong's face immediately turned cold: "Comrade Sun, I think you just don't want to help. If you don't want to help, fine, but why are you saying such rude things?"
Sun Baojun asked, bewildered, "I'm just telling the truth, how is that unpleasant to hear?"
Lin Jidong's eyes were cold, as if Sun Baojun owed him something.
Chun Ya listened to the gist of it and understood it pretty well. She then said, "Is it possible that what he said was the truth, but the truth just sounds so unpleasant? If you want to hear nicer things, that's fine too, but the fact is, it's really hard to find a job, let alone if you don't have any skills and still want to be in factory management. That's simply impossible."
If she can see things clearly, why can't Lin Jidong see them? Perhaps Lin Jidong can see them too, but he simply refuses to face reality.
Chun Ya said, "You're getting old, you shouldn't compete with young people for jobs."
These words were very hurtful; Lin Jidong's face immediately darkened. He hated it most when people mentioned his age.
Even though he is really old, he doesn't want anyone to laugh at him like that.
Just as he was about to say something, Sun Baojun said, "Take the biscuits and go."
Anyway, he couldn't help Lin Jidong with his business, so he wouldn't accept the cookies Lin Jidong brought.
Lin Jidong was displeased: "You're being incredibly rude."
Sun Baojun said, "I need to rest now and don't have time to entertain you. You can leave now and leave the biscuits behind."
Lin Jidong ultimately decided to take the cookies, even though they were expensive, he couldn't bear to give them to Sun Baojun.
Sun Baojun watched his departing figure, his eyes turning cold.
I hope I never see this person again.
Sun Xiangyang didn't like him, and he didn't really like this person either.
Lin Jidong slunk back home, but on the way, he actually saw Zhang Junying chatting and laughing with an old man. Before leaving, the old man even touched Zhang Junying's face, and Zhang Junying even smiled at him.
Immediately, Lin Jidong rushed forward and angrily asked, "Who is that wild man?"
Seeing Lin Jidong about to chase after the man, Zhang Junying grabbed him and said calmly, "He's just a colleague, you don't need to get so worked up."
"Colleague? Your colleague would touch you like that? I don't think your relationship is proper."
Lin Jidong said, "No wonder you didn't come with me to talk to Huo Chunyan's family about work today. So you wanted to meet other men here. Comrade Zhang Junying, what did you promise me before? How could you betray me again?"
The reason for using "again" is that Zhang Junying had previously been involved with other men. When Lin Jidong found out, he was furious, but Zhang Junying later promised him that she would break up with that man, so their relationship was restored.
It was because Lin Jidong was unemployed and had been supported by Zhang Junying that he had no choice but to compromise. As a result, only a few years later, Zhang Junying actually reverted to her old ways.
Zhang Junying said coldly, "Why did you bring the cookies back? Didn't you get things sorted out?"
Lin Jidong immediately felt guilty and said, "It's their fault. They look down on me and are unwilling to help me, so I simply took the cookies back. I can't let them take advantage of me."
Zhang Junying said disdainfully, "Even if they don't agree to help you find a job, you can't take the cookies back. That would be too embarrassing."
Lin Jijun dared not speak.
But after a while, he felt something was wrong: "Let's not talk about this. Who exactly is that man? If you don't explain clearly, then we'll get a divorce right away."
Zhang Junying sneered, "Fine, then let's get a divorce."
Lin Jijun was stunned.
Zhang Junying said, "We've been married for so long, and you haven't taken a single penny from me. What's the point of me marrying you?"
