Chapter 53 Is your arm as hard as this piece of wood?
When Director Li looked at the list of exam results brought over by the head of the personnel department, and saw that his sister-in-law's daughter, who was also his niece, hadn't even made it into the top three, he felt a buzzing headache and cursed her inwardly for being so disappointing.
But you can't just ignore it, otherwise when your sister-in-law comes to your house looking for your wife, you'll have to listen to her nagging for a long time.
However, he was also worried because there were exactly three vacancies in the office. So this time, the recruitment was conducted openly and formally, but in reality, it was an internal recruitment. Only the veteran employees who had made great contributions to the factory had received the news.
Moreover, he had already thoughtfully revealed the exam scope to his niece, yet she still didn't get first place. That's really disappointing.
Although he is the factory director, he can't go too far. People who did so well on the exam shouldn't be pushed out of the top three.
After thinking it over, Director Li decided to send his niece to the packaging department first. Although it was a workshop and not as good as sitting in an office, the packaging work in their food factory was easy and not dirty. Many people would fight tooth and nail to get in.
This is a rare opportunity. Let her get into the factory first, and we can discuss transferring her to another position later if the opportunity arises.
Jiang Xiaohong was thus successfully admitted and assigned to the publicity department as a publicity officer.
Then, before the morning shift ended, Jiang Xiaohong took the factory's offer letter and quickly ran back to the community to get a certificate.
In the afternoon, she successfully completed her onboarding process with her household registration book and related documents, and even applied for a single employee dormitory.
Everything went incredibly smoothly, but the excitement suddenly cooled down when we got to our doorstep.
.
While Jiang Xiaohong hesitated near the family compound, Ning Xuan was impatiently shooing her away.
Ning Xuan was exasperated. She had just chased away an arrogant rich girl in the morning, and now an ordinary guy had come in the afternoon.
The person Ning Xuan chased away was Tan Chengrui. Tan Chengrui had stayed in the dormitory for two days and felt that life in the countryside was very hard. He also thought of Ning Lan's instructions and thought that although Ning Xuan was not good-looking, she was now living in a single room.
If I could coax her into letting me have her single room and helping me with chores in the future, my life would be much easier.
Of course, he only wanted to date Ning Xuan, but marriage was out of the question.
It can only be said that Tan Chengrui was overconfident in himself.
Because Ning Xuan and Xu Jiajia didn't like to go out for walks, Tan Chengrui knocked on the door of Ning Xuan's courtyard.
Ning Xuan happened to be closest to the door at the time, so she went to open it. Unexpectedly, she saw Tan Chengrui, who thought he looked very cool, as soon as she opened the door.
Upon seeing Ning Xuan open the door, Tan Chengrui immediately flashed his signature smile. He often practiced this angle and the upward curve of his lips in front of the mirror, confident that this brat would soon be captivated by him.
As it turned out, he was overthinking it; Ning Xuan almost wanted to punch him for that greasy smile.
Seeing that the other person was still only focused on posing and leaking oil, Ning Xuan could only speak first in an annoyed tone, "What do you want? If not, I'm closing the door."
Tan Chengrui then snapped out of his reverie.
"Xuanxuan, right? I know you're Xiaolan's older sister. She was worried you weren't doing well in the countryside, so she specifically asked me to take good care of you." Tan Chengrui deliberately lowered his voice.
Ning Xuan felt like throwing up again; she really wanted to hit someone for that overly deliberate deep voice.
"Please call me Ning Zhiqing or Comrade Ning. We're not familiar with each other, so don't call me that. Besides, the reason I was sent to the countryside is thanks to your sister Lan, didn't you know?"
Tan Chengrui was unaware of the truth about Ning Xuan's assignment to the countryside, but he felt it was unimportant.
"You must have misunderstood Xiaolan. Xiaolan is such a kind person..."
Ning Xuan didn't want to listen to his nonsense. "If you say so, then so be it. If there's nothing else, I'll close the door."
Seeing that Tan Chengrui was trying to reach out and pull her, Ning Xuan casually picked up a piece of wood, as thick as an adult man's arm, from the woodpile next to her against the wall.
Then, right in front of Tan Chengrui, he easily broke the wood in two, just like breaking a banana.
"I don't care what Ning Lan said or what your purpose is in coming to me. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Stay away from me in the future. If you dare to mess with me, you'd better consider whether your arm is harder than this piece of wood."
After saying that, Ning Xuan ignored Tan Chengrui, who was still stunned, and closed the door directly.
Turning around, she found Lu Xun watching from behind. It turned out that Lu Xun had come out to check on Ning Xuan since she hadn't gone back home after a while. He happened to see Ning Xuan breaking wood.
Lu Xun couldn't help but touch his own arm, and it seemed that his arm was neither as thick nor as hard as that piece of wood.
He was once again impressed by Ning Xuan, who always managed to redefine his understanding of her.
When Ning Xuan saw Lu Xun, she felt a little embarrassed for a moment, wondering if she had scared him too. But it was only for a moment, since she had already told them that she was very strong.
Tan Chengrui was genuinely frightened. Ning Lan hadn't said her sister was that scary. She wasn't pretty to begin with, and she was incredibly strong. Being with her, it was hard to tell who would be in charge.
Tan Chengrui didn't care about getting a free meal anymore. He thought he had just smelled them stir-frying meat, and the aroma was really enticing. Right now, all he wanted to do was get away from Ning Xuan as quickly as possible.
He hurriedly ran towards the educated youth compound dormitory, but because he was thinking about something, he didn't notice that someone else was walking by, and the two bumped into each other at the entrance of the educated youth compound.
"Ouch!" a woman's voice rang out.
"Oh, I'm sorry, are you alright?" This was Tan Chengrui's message.
He Yuting looked at the boy who had bumped into her. He was quite good-looking, much better looking than Zhou Weimin. He Yuting regretted marrying Zhou Weimin even more. If only she had waited a little longer, she would have been better off. She had heard that two good male educated youths had arrived in this batch.
Seeing that the other party seemed to have come from Ning Xuan's courtyard, He Yuting began to probe for information.
"It's nothing. You must be one of the new educated youths. Are you going to find Xuanxuan or Jiajia?"
Seeing how intimately He Yuting addressed Ning Xuan and the others, Tan Chengrui assumed they were close friends. Thinking of Xu Jiajia, that fair-skinned beauty, Tan Chengrui hatched another plan.
"I'm also from Anshi, I'm from the same hometown as Xiaoxuan. My name is Tan Chengrui, I'm a new educated youth, and you are?"
He Yuting tossed her hair. "My name is He Yuting. I'm also an educated youth, but I arrived earlier than you."
"I didn't see you before. Don't you live in the educated youth dormitory either?"
For some reason, He Yuting didn't want the new educated youth to know that she had married into the village. She nodded ambiguously and said that she had moved out.
Tan Chengrui didn't think that far ahead; he genuinely believed that she had simply moved out like Ning Xuan and the others.
However, he had no interest in He Yuting. As I said before, he didn't think much of her. His current target was Xu Jiajia. He didn't even like Ning Xuan, so he dared not provoke her now.
Ning Xuan had no idea that He Yuting, whom she hadn't heard from in a long time, was actually preparing to cause trouble again.
