He raised his head and looked at Wang Xiaolan, his eyes bright and he said slowly, "So, if I can work as an accountant in the pharmaceutical factory, with my professional knowledge and ability, I can definitely help my sister-in-law manage the factory's finances in an orderly manner. Sister-in-law, what do you think of my idea?"
After saying these words, Zhaodi looked at her sister-in-law with anticipation. Her eyes seemed to express her desire for this job and her expectation of her sister-in-law's trust. She waited quietly for her sister-in-law to respond.
When Wang Xiaolan heard what Zhaodi said, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "How come this sister-in-law has become a completely different person after her systematic study? She never realized before that she had such good ideas. Hey, it's true, knowledge is power. It can make people smarter!"
Thinking of this, she said, "Zhaodi, you have to think carefully. My sister-in-law's factory is collectively owned, not a guaranteed job. If you follow the school's assignment, your household registration will be changed to an urban household registration, and you will have to eat commercial grain. If you work in my pharmaceutical factory, I can't change your household registration to an urban household registration. Besides, aren't you studying hard to change your destiny? If you go back to the village to work as an accountant in a pharmaceutical factory, aren't you afraid of what others will say about you?"
Zhaodi said, "Sister-in-law, I don't care about these things. I only have one wish, to help you manage the factory. I know you are capable of doing big things, and there is no need to spend your energy on these things. With me, you can do what you want to do. So, I will follow you."
Wang Xiaolan listened quietly to Zhaodi's every word, pondering in her heart. Yes, Zhaodi was right! After all, managing all three factories on her own would be a nearly impossible task. Human energy is limited, after all!
Now, if Zhaodi could come and help manage this huge factory, that would be great. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about bothering himself all day and could devote more of his thoughts and energy to other important matters.
Besides, only Wang Xiaolan herself knew clearly that she had experienced two lives! Deep in her memories of her previous life, she clearly remembered that after only twenty years, those stable jobs that were once considered iron rice bowls had gradually begun to lose their former glory.
The iron rice bowl is no longer as solid as a rock, and has even finally shattered. At the same time, most factories run by state-owned enterprises have fallen into the predicament of bankruptcy or difficult transformation.
She thought about this and said, "Since you've made up your mind, then you can go to the factory and be an accountant. Once you're familiar with the business, you can take the position of Chief Financial Officer in the future. It will save me a lot of worry."
The aunt and sister-in-law talked until late at night before falling asleep.
The next day, Wang Xiaolan got up early and made a hearty breakfast. After everyone finished eating, Zhaodi and Laidi packed their luggage to go home. Wang Xiaolan walked out of the room carrying a large suitcase.
She said, "Zhaodi, these are the gifts you brought back to Xiangshui Village. I have written names on each package. Please help me deliver them one by one according to the names on them."
Zhaodi said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry!"
TRAIN STATION
On the bustling train platform, a train slowly pulled up. Sisters Zhaodi and Laidi excitedly boarded the train and quickly found their seats. They eagerly leaned out the window, their eyes searching for Wang Xiaolan, who was standing on the platform to see them off.
Finally, the two saw the familiar figure of Wang Xiaolan. She stood there quietly, smiling and waving goodbye to the two sisters.
Zhaodi excitedly shouted, "Sister-in-law, goodbye! We will miss you! Take care of yourself. And Xia Wei, train hard and try to win a prize."
Wang Xiaolan's eyes sparkled with tears. She nodded vigorously, responding to the sisters' words: "You too, have a safe trip! Remember to write to me when you get there!"
Xia Wei said nothing, just kept waving.
With a long whistle, the train wheels began to turn, and it slowly drove away from the platform. Zhaodi and Laidi still stuck their heads out the window, waving at Wang Xiaolan until her figure gradually disappeared from their sight...
It wasn't until the train pulled out of the station that Wang Xiaolan turned around and said, "Xia Wei, they've all left. I still have some time, so let me take you back to the training base!"
Xia Wei said, "Sister-in-law, no need, I'll go back alone!"
Wang Xiaolan asked, "You really don't need me to send you off?"
They were talking when someone suddenly called out, "Xia Wei, Xia Wei."
Wang Xiaolan and Xia Wei turned around and saw a tall young man running towards them.
Xia Wei said in a low voice: "This person is a member of our basketball team. He also went back to his hometown to get a certificate not long ago. Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now."
As he said that, he quickly walked towards the young man. The two exchanged a few words. Xia Wei turned around and waved to Wang Xiaolan until the two disappeared at the exit.
Wang Xiaolan then walked out of the train station.
She walked briskly back to school. Before she even reached the teaching building, she saw a group of people gathered in front of a bulletin board, seemingly reading some important announcement. Their faces were filled with surprise, excitement, or confusion, and they were talking non-stop.
"Wow, the army actually came to the school to urgently recruit medical students! This is really rare!" A boy said with his eyes wide open.
Someone nearby immediately chimed in, "Yeah, doesn't the military have its own dedicated military medical university? Why would they come to our school to recruit outstanding medical students?"
A female student asked her companion, "Are you going to sign up? But the requirements are very strict."
Her accomplice said, "I want to sign up, but I don't know if I meet the requirements."
Someone else interrupted and said, "Once you've registered, the school will naturally conduct a political review. If you pass, you'll be accepted."
"But there are very few female soldiers recruited, but there are many male soldiers."
"Becoming a female soldier has been my childhood dream. Unfortunately, my grades aren't great."
At this time, Wang Xiaolan was attracted by their discussions and finally squeezed from the back of the crowd to the middle.
She stood on tiptoe, stretched her neck, and looked over the heads of the people in front of her. Her eyes fell on a piece of red paper. She stared closely at the lines of eye-catching large characters, afraid of missing any important information.
The words on the bulletin board were clearly visible, written in powerful fonts: "Due to special circumstances, we are now urgently recruiting outstanding medical students from your school to join the army..." These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard, causing her heartbeat to accelerate instantly.
She clenched her hands tightly together, as if to gather all her strength in these palms. Her fingers turned slightly white from excessive force, and her palms were soaked with sweat. The wet feeling made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn't seem to notice it.
