Chapter 49 Asking the Factory Director to Put on a Show
Aunt Wang's eyes lit up: "Xiao Shen, are you going to sell your job?"
Shen Zhixia nodded: "Yes, I'm going to be with the military anyway, so this job isn't very meaningful to me. If you want to buy it, I'll sell it. If you don't want to buy it, you can help me find someone else, and I'll sell it to someone else."
"No, no, no, I'll buy it, I'll buy it!" Aunt Wang quickly said, "How much do you want for it?"
Jobs are extremely scarce these days, let alone the job that Shen Zhixia has—a permanent position at a textile factory, which is truly an excellent job.
Her nephew has been unable to find work recently, and it seems that if he doesn't find work soon, he will have to go to the countryside. Isn't this a case of someone bringing a pillow when you're sleepy?
No matter how much money Shen Zhixia offered, she was prepared to buy it.
Anyway, she knew that there were quite a few people in the factory who wanted to buy jobs.
Shen Zhixia said, "800."
"Oh? So low, Xiao Shen. Your job could sell for over a thousand now. You're selling it so cheaply. That's such a loss," Aunt Wang said.
Shen Zhixia said, "Aunt Wang, I'll sell it to you cheaply for 800 yuan. But I have a condition: you have to give me 800 yuan right away, and then we can go and hand over the work now."
"Furthermore, I have another request. I know you and the factory manager are related. After I sell the job to you, I hope the factory manager can keep this a secret for now."
Actually, 800 is not a small amount. Many people cannot afford to come up with that much money at once. She sold the job to Aunt Wang cheaply, which shows she was a very discerning person.
Aunt Wang is straightforward and reliable. Moreover, she has a family relationship with the factory manager, so she can quickly transfer to a good job. Most importantly, she can also deceive Shen Jinxiu and Zhang Mei without them finding out.
For Shen Zhixia, the latter was clearly more important.
Aunt Wang didn't ask too many questions, and nodded: "Ah Hong, I still have 800 yuan in cash. You can do whatever you want with this transaction."
She felt a surge of excitement. Although Shen Zhixia had made a request, it was also beneficial to her, and she wanted to transfer the job as soon as possible.
She then said to Shen Zhixia, "Xiao Shen, have you thought it through? I'm actually afraid you'll regret it. It's getting harder and harder to find a job these days. My nephew has been looking for a job recently, but he hasn't found a good one yet. If possible, I plan to buy this job for him."
“Otherwise, if he can’t find a job after a while, then he will be assigned a job directly, and he will most likely be sent to the countryside. The conditions in the countryside are so harsh now, who would want to go?”
"Your job is great, it's a permanent position. If you wanted to sell it, a lot of people would be vying for it."
She wanted to buy the job, but she was also afraid that Shen Zhixia would regret it. Shen Zhixia's job would pay 25 yuan a month, and the work was easy and not tiring at all. Moreover, the benefits for regular employees were good, and they could get cloth coupons and meat coupons during holidays.
The factory would occasionally give them some fruit, so it was a very desirable thing.
Shen Zhixia certainly knew this job was good. If it weren't, would Shen Jinxiu have kept thinking about it?
"I've already decided to sell. No matter how good the job is, it's useless to me anyway."
She then told Aunt Wang the truth, since she was going to have them put on a show anyway: "It's like this, Aunt, my sister really wants this job of mine. I don't want to sell it to her, but she's said it many times and even tried to force me to transfer the job to her."
Aunt Wang was stunned: "Then, what should we do? Are you going to transfer the job to her?"
She was completely stunned. Shen Zhixia had just said she would sell the job to her, so why was she talking about her sister now?
No matter what, Shen Zhixia and her younger sister must have a very good relationship, so she would definitely prioritize selling her work to her sister.
Shen Zhixia sighed and said sadly, "Auntie, you know my sister is my stepsister. She always bullies me at home. She has a very domineering personality. This time she even tried to forcibly take my job. Of course I wouldn't allow it, but everyone in the family sides with her. I..."
"Here's what I'm thinking: I'll sell you the job. After that, it'll be a done deal. But I'm worried my sister will make a scene if she finds out, so I hope you can keep it a secret for now."
"Also, if my sister comes to the factory again, you should also inform the factory manager about the acting. My sister has always been someone who gets what she wants, but as long as we can keep it a secret for a while, she will definitely accept her fate."
Shen Zhixia will be staying at the Shen family's house for a while longer, and she can't afford to offend Shen Jinxiu and Zhang Mei, so she has to keep these things a secret.
"Okay, I understand. I'll help keep it a secret," Aunt Wang said.
Shen Zhixia's younger sister is so domineering! She even wants to steal her job. Once she sells the job to Shen Zhixia, she will definitely not let Shen Jinxiu continue to cause trouble!
Keeping this matter a secret would reduce conflict and benefit Aunt Wang, so of course she would agree.
"Okay, it's settled then," Shen Zhixia said.
Aunt Wang said happily, "Wait a moment, I'll go get the money right away."
Her home wasn't far from the factory. Shen Zhixia watched as she hurriedly rode away on a bicycle. Ten minutes later, Aunt Wang came over with a small cloth bag.
She said happily, "Let's go to the factory manager's office."
“Okay.” Shen Zhixia nodded.
After entering the office, Aunt Wang closed the door and then carefully opened the cloth bag. Inside was 800 yuan, all of it being ten-thousand-yuan notes.
These days, 800 yuan is a lot of money, which is why Aunt Wang is so careful.
"Xiao Shen, please click it."
Shen Zhixia counted the money and smiled, "Yes, it's 800 yuan."
The factory manager sat in his chair and said to Shen Zhixia, "Have you thought it through? If the job is transferred, then it can't be changed."
Shen Zhixia accepted the money and nodded, saying, "I've made up my mind."
The factory manager then produced an agreement. Shen Zhixia glanced at it, and after confirming there were no problems, she signed it. Aunt Wang also signed it, and the two of them pressed their fingerprints on it, thus making it effective.
After Shen Zhixia finished doing all this, she told the factory manager what Shen Jinxiu had said: "Factory manager, Shen Jinxiu and I will come over again tomorrow. In order to avoid conflict, you will have to act out a scene with me then."
Aunt Wang told the factory manager about the whole thing. The factory manager nodded and said he would cooperate. After all, he didn't want anyone to cause trouble. The job had already been successfully transferred, so even if Shen Jinxiu wanted to take the job, it was impossible.
Shen Zhixia was satisfied and left.
