After hearing her words, Director Cheng didn't even look at her. Seeing that this method wasn't working, Jiang Tang could only leave in frustration. After leaving the teahouse, he looked at the three-story teahouse behind him, crossed his arms, and sighed.
Elsewhere, Meng Si Ning had already been taken to the train by Xia Guoxing's car. The siblings were seated in a sleeper car, two lower berths in a compartment. A couple occupied the upper berths. The journey was relatively quiet. Lin Xiaodi's mind had been preoccupied with Ponyo and Xiaobai all morning, worried that Aunt Liu wouldn't be able to take good care of them. Aunt Liu had visited her home the previous night. Meng Si Ning had mentioned cat food and rabbit straw. A little after ten o'clock, Comrade Liu Xiulan, concerned, came over to take a look.
Looking at how much space a little rabbit has taken up, I sighed, "Without adults at home, there's really no one to say anything I want to do. Two kids are so busy raising a rabbit. They even made so many nests and put cotton mats underneath. My God, this is really an eye-opener. People who come back from abroad can't change their wasteful habits no matter what they do."
That being said, the Meng family is wealthy, and now they have a daughter, so they're spoiling her. Besides, Miss Meng can earn her own money. Look at that cat, the cat bed even has a glass door. Tsk tsk, it doesn't even feel like glass to the touch. Good aesthetics, really. How did she come up with this cat bed? The cat even has a toilet. How awful would that smell in the house? Why not just let it poop outside?
Liu Xiulan muttered to herself as she walked around. She found the cat sleeping and the rabbit eating grass, and since there was nothing for her to do, she locked the door and went back.
After coming out of the teahouse, Jiang Tang stayed in a nearby guesthouse.
[Si Ning, are you in the car?] Jiang Tang sent a message to Meng Si Ning.
[Yeah. How about you? Have you made any arrangements?] Meng Sining replied.
"I've run into this stubborn old man. He's not going to be easy to deal with. I might have to stay here for two days." Jiang Tang said helplessly.
[Be careful.] Meng Sining warned.
【The same to you. 】
At noon, Meng Si Ning took Lin Xiao Di to the train restaurant for lunch. Jiang Tang rode her bike to a nearby state-owned restaurant. Rice was the staple food here, along with various stir-fries and soup pots. Jiang Tang loved the soup pot with crispy pork. She ordered three pots in a row and packed two into her space. She also packed three servings of hot dry noodles. Jiang Tang loved the food. After packing up at this state-owned restaurant, she went to another one and packed up different dishes. But she didn't pack much, as she didn't have much money.
In the afternoon, she also went shopping at the department store. As work was about to end, she began to stake out Director Cheng Suozi at the teahouse. Around 5:30, the bald Director Cheng emerged from the building and rode home on a half-worn bicycle. Jiang Tang disguised herself, got on the bike, and followed him to his residence, a residential building not far from the teahouse.
The place wasn't big. Jiang Tang took a look from outside and saw that there were three children in the family. The eldest was about seventeen or eighteen, about her own age. Jiang Tang quietly asked passersby about their situation. She learned that the family had an elderly mother who was paralyzed in bed and that his wife also worked at the supply and marketing cooperative. The eldest was a boy, and the second and third were girls. The eldest had just graduated and was looking for a job, otherwise she would have to move to the countryside. This was something that her family was worried about recently.
"Looking for a job." Jiang Tang muttered to himself.
"His parents haven't been able to find him a job, so it seems it will be difficult to find one," Jiang Tang analyzed.
"There's nothing his parents can't arrange, but Old Cheng is so stubborn that he thinks he can get a job by himself through recruitment and exams based on his own abilities. His wife had a job that he could buy with money, and they had already negotiated it, but Old Cheng just didn't want to do it, saying it was a crooked way of doing things. His wife was so angry that now his son is also having a conflict with him," said a passerby.
This old stubborn guy must have been petrified. What's the point of taking an exam based on ability? How many people get in based on exams? Getting a job based on ability, that's ability. Alas, no wonder no salesperson has been successful in the teahouse in recent years. Even with such an unyielding leader, the teahouse is still thriving. It's all because of public ownership.
The leader wasn't easy to deal with, but she had to get him. Jiang Tang thought about many options in her space that night and decided she had to start with her family. Yes, she had to start with her son. The problem was, she was new to the area and had no idea where to find a job. The most sought-after and hardest-to-get job right now was the transport team, but it was also the one with the most staff shortages.
[Is Si Ning here?] Jiang Tang sent a message to Meng Si Ning.
[What's wrong?] Meng Sining replied.
[Can I help you sell those oranges?]
[It's not the right time now. Will it arouse suspicion?]
[It's a small amount, that's okay, you can also give me some noodles.]
[Okay, you wait.]
Although Meng Si Ning and Lin Xiao Di had two beds, they were still worried about the child, so they shared one bed at night. At this moment, the two people on the upper bunk were asleep. Meng Si Ning closed his eyes and bought 50 kilograms of noodles for Jiang Tang at the mall.
Jiang Tang, who was waiting in the space, suddenly appeared on the coffee table with a pile of noodles.
That's too much.
【If you can't finish it, keep it for later use, and you can eat it yourself. 】
【Oh, that’s right.】
The next morning, Jiang Tang asked the staff at the guesthouse for the transport team's address. After wandering around the entrance, she saw someone walking in. She hurried over and handed him a pack of cigarettes. "Hey, big brother, can I ask you something?"
The man took the cigarette and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Are we hiring here?" he said, taking out an orange from the basket and handing it over.
The man glanced at her and asked, "Can you drive?"
"I can."
Jiang Tang's straightforward words made the comrade laugh: "Little comrade, that's not how you joke."
"Brother, I really can."
There are very few women who can drive these days, let alone such a young one. She was in high spirits and walked proudly while waving to Jiang Tang: "Come on, follow me."
Although he hadn't finished speaking, Jiang Tang still followed him in.
"Pa pa, everyone, stop what you are doing. I just met this guy at the door. He said he can drive and is here to apply for a job." The big brother was introducing Jiang Tang to the people in the compound.
When everyone saw that it was a little girl, they all seemed bored. One of the older brothers pointed to a truck nearby and said, "Little comrade, drive it and let us see it."
Jiang Tang didn't hesitate and said, "No problem." Then he got into the car.
Although he was there to laugh at her, he was still afraid that she would do something reckless, so he started the car. The big brother who had brought her in at first followed her and sat in the passenger seat. As soon as he sat down, Jiang Tang had already started the car.
"Oh, you really can do it."
"How can this be false? What do you call me, big brother?"
The older man finished his cigarette and flicked the butt out of the car window: "My last name is Chen, and I'm the team leader here."
Jiang Tang unexpectedly met a certain person: "Team Leader Chen, I'm so lucky to have met you."
"You are quite good at talking, young comrade, but we are not hiring here."
"Ah, you're not hiring? Why did you let me in if you're not hiring?"
"I'm doing this for the sake of an orange. I want to see if you can drive."
