Aunt Ji looked at Director Sun with a cold smile. She always felt that Director Sun's respect for her was somewhat fake. He was only showing it out of fear of her younger brother.
See, he's showing his true colors now. That's not what he said beforehand. He wanted to control Song Yan, both to humiliate himself and to gain benefits.
Director Sun was also very unhappy. "Aunt Ji, look at them! They clearly want to rely on us, but they're giving me attitude!"
"They wanted to leave, it's not that I disagreed with them hanging it on our street!"
"Chang Xiaohu has come here more than once."
When he came yesterday, people on the street asked him what he did for a living.
What did you say at the time?
Sigh! Quite a few former educated youth have returned to our neighborhood, and some even want to come back. I heard they'll be thrilled to find us any work, even temporary jobs!
They've all been eagerly awaiting your news today. Go tell them later that the deal's off!
"Alright, I'm tired, I'm going home!" Aunt Ji slammed the door and left.
There were two street office workers inside, and knowing that things were not going well, they quickly left.
Aunt Ji didn't go home.
She chose to handle this matter in her own neighborhood because she worked there. If she were to connect with other neighborhoods to handle it, it wouldn't make sense since the educated youth from other neighborhoods had already been placed, while the children of her old neighbors were still at home.
Director Sun might even accuse her of being a traitor.
She's really wasting her good intentions.
Gao Guohua, the street director of Sandao Street, even asked Aunt Ji if there were any other good opportunities like this and if she could help him make some connections.
Director Sun felt he had a lot of influence, so he told the higher-ups about his difficulties and asked to use the abandoned factory buildings and grounds of the rubber factory. The rubber factory leaders agreed.
He never thought about why he agreed to such a large site and factory.
It was all thanks to Aunt Ji telling her brother in advance so he could give her a heads-up.
The site and factory buildings aren't given to individuals for free; they're rented. They also generate revenue for the government.
So many educated youth were idle at home. If there was somewhere they could go, his younger brother would certainly support them.
There were also many children of educated youth who had returned to the rubber factory, and they were eagerly hoping to get a few positions.
This matter is beneficial in almost every aspect.
Director Sun actually dared to say that he had the final say in personnel decisions.
Aunt Ji went straight to find Gao Guohua.
Isn't Director Sun capable? All the educated youth who couldn't find work on the streets went to him. Let's see what he did then.
Director Sun only realized after sitting down in the room that he had ruined the whole thing.
This person has been gone for so long and hasn't come back.
They're not just putting on an act.
If this deal falls through, those educated youths who are desperately looking for work will definitely come looking for him.
Director Sun just wanted to prove today that he still calls the shots in this street office, and that Grandma Sun is just an assistant and doesn't even earn the salary of a regular employee.
Besides, if the profits don't go to the neighborhood committee and the staffing isn't under their jurisdiction, what benefits does the neighborhood committee gain?
But they just didn't want you to profit from their scheme. Director Sun was seething with resentment. Arranging personnel wasn't his responsibility; what else could he possibly gain?
But we can't just let this go like this.
We still need to go to Aunt Ji. At worst, she can back down, and we can discuss it when we need people in the future.
When Director Sun arrived at Aunt Ji's house, he unexpectedly encountered a lock.
Grandpa Ding had a delicate task to complete today: the drawing his daughter had made. Not wanting to be disturbed, Grandma Ji locked him inside when she left.
...
Gao Guohua was quite worried. Not to mention the people on the street, four people from his own family had also come back; his second son had found a wife in the countryside.
The son took over his wife's job. The daughter-in-law is staying at home doing nothing.
It's not good for someone so young to just sit around doing nothing. And where are all those cardboard boxes to make?!
Many educated youths, after returning to the city, abandoned their wives or husbands in the countryside, and even more so, their children. His family would never do such a thing.
Besides, my daughter-in-law is a really good person.
However, there is a real problem: only one person in a family of four earns money, making life difficult.
He sighed. Why didn't Old Madam Ji live in the area he was in charge of? But Old Madam Ji was a very kind person. He wondered if he could ask her to arrange someone for him.
Gao Guohua was pondering when he heard a knock on the door. He opened it and was surprised to see it was Old Mrs. Ji.
"Aunt Ji, I was just thinking about you! It's so late, why are you coming over?" Gao Guohua looked at his watch; it was almost time to get off work.
"Xiao Gao, what do you want from me? It can't be anything good, can it?" Gao Guohua's mother had a good relationship with Aunt Ji when she was alive, so she called her "Auntie." The two of them spoke to each other in a friendly and casual manner.
"Isn't it like biting all ten fingers and they all hurt?"
Of course I'm thinking about both of them, especially the one who just came back.
Many families have sent their children back to the city, abandoning their wives and children in the countryside. My family would never do such a thing!
But to be honest, it's hard for a rural wife to make a living, so I was thinking that you in the neighborhood could give me a spot sometime!" Gao Guohua looked at Aunt Ji earnestly.
Look at the difference between people. Gao Guohua knew just how beneficial it was to run a factory.
"Didn't you say last time that you'd think of me when something good happened? Well, here it is."
"As for the quota, you can decide for yourself. You can stay if you want," said Aunt Ji.
"What do you mean?" Gao Guohua seemed a little confused.
Aunt Ji then gave a brief account of what had happened.
