Jiang Jinyao led the people to the second floor. When Shen Qiaoyue saw them come in, she quickly put down what she was doing.
"I've brought the person here."
Jiang Jinyao looked at the list; there were four people on it.
Shen Qiaoyue looked at the four people, and there was a moment of silence, just like when she first met Jiang Jinyao.
"Please introduce yourself."
"Um, teacher, my name is Wang Tiantian." Wang Tiantian introduced herself first. "I came from Hai City. I heard there was a recruitment exam here, so I was introduced by a former teacher. I'm currently living in the staff dormitory."
"Teacher, my name is Su Zhiyang. I also come from Haishi. I am a classmate of Comrade Wang Tiantian. I am twenty years old this year and also live in the staff dormitory."
Su Zhiyang then introduced himself.
When it was Bai Jinghao's turn, she said, "Teacher, I am one of the older ones here. My name is Bai Jinghao, and I am twenty-two years old. I used to do my internship at a normal middle school in Beijing. I currently live in the family compound in front. I came to apply after seeing the job posting."
Bai Jinghao was unemployed. There was a job posting at the bus stop ahead. It seemed to be for female factory workers, but it turned out to be for an assistant. She had loved studying art since she was a child and had some knowledge of clothing design. Her grandfather's family had always run a clothing store.
Everyone looked at Xia Xiaoli, waiting for her to introduce herself.
"Hello teacher, hello everyone, my name is Xia Xiaoli, I'm nineteen years old, and I also live in the front." Xia Xiaoli spoke very gently and softly.
Shen Qiaoyue had heard Xiang Shulan say that because of her leg injury, she had become self-conscious and always spoke with her head down, not daring to look directly at others.
Shen Qiaoyue and Jiang Jinyao exchanged a glance.
"My name is Jiang Jinyao, I'm twenty-three years old. Please don't call me 'teacher,' just call me 'sister' if you don't mind." Jiang Jinyao introduced herself modestly.
"My name is Shen Qiaoyue, and I am also twenty-three years old. I am only a few years younger than everyone else. I really can't be called a teacher. Just call me sister."
Shen Qiaoyue is the same age as Jiang Jinyao. They have both been working here for half a year and are also self-taught. They really can't be teachers.
"The internship period is three months, and the monthly salary is about twenty yuan. After three months, two people will be eliminated based on their performance and daily work." Although Shen Qiaoyue said this, she wanted them to have a certain level of effort and understanding of the job.
According to the director, there might not only be two spots available; all four could potentially be filled.
"Since I've been paired with Yao Yao, I'll be taking care of Xiao Li and Wang Tiantian, while Yao Yao will be taking care of Jing Hao and Zhi Yang. Please look after me from now on."
After Shen Qiaoyue finished explaining the division of labor, no one objected.
Take your assigned office seat.
Xia Xiaoli sat opposite Shen Qiaoyue. She hadn't been assigned any work yet, so she stared at Shen Qiaoyue.
Shen Qiaoyue was going to the morning meeting. She picked up her notebook and pen and stood up, just in time to meet Xia Xiaoli's gaze.
Xia Xiaoli lowered her head in fear.
Shen Qiaoyue didn't really understand what kind of person Xia Xiaoli was, but keeping her by her side meant she could take good care of her.
"Tian Tian, Xiao Li, the workshop director will come over later to show you around the workshop. You'll have three days of rotational training, which will involve learning how to make clothes, how to identify fabrics, and how to control the dyeing quality. After the rotation, you'll need to write a detailed report, preferably including market sales, prices, and profits."
She went through the same process, learning techniques and quality control from Jiang Jinyao, and designing styles that everyone liked, which took her a long time to figure out.
They're new here, so they need to familiarize themselves with the workshop first, so that the designed clothes can better coordinate with each department.
To put it simply, it's about observing the interpersonal relationships among the four of them and their ability to learn and cope with situations.
“Okay, Sister Qiaoyue, Xiaoli and I will definitely study hard.” Wang Tiantian stood up and said to Shen Qiaoyue.
Shen Qiaoyue smiled and nodded. "Yaoyao, let's go."
"Please have a seat. After the workshop meeting, someone will come to take you there for training." Jiang Jinyao took her notebook, gave the instructions, and left.
The teacher who was leading the class left, and the office fell silent.
Xia Xiaoli looked up at them, unsure of what to say.
"Jinghao, Xiaoli, do your family members work in the military region up ahead?" Wang Tiantian had passed by on the bus last time and saw a military hospital in front of her. When she moved to the staff dormitory yesterday, she learned that there were troops stationed there.
Bai Jinghao pursed her lips and glanced at Xia Xiaoli.
“My cousin is here, and my cousin’s wife is pregnant. I originally planned to come and take care of her during her postpartum period, but then I heard that they were hiring here, so I came.” Xia Xiaoli glanced at Bai Jinghao and, seeing that she was trying to hide something, Xia Xiaoli spoke first.
Bai Jinghao nodded and said, "Yes, I'm about the same."
Xia Xiaoli isn't stupid; the person who would get a battalion commander to help her with transportation must be the daughter of the new leader.
Otherwise, who would ride a bicycle to work on their first day? Having a bicycle before even starting work costs over two hundred yuan, not to mention that it's very difficult to get an industrial ticket.
Wang Tiantian nodded and looked at Xia Xiaoli and Bai Jing with high regard. The level of living in the family compound was not low.
Moreover, she greatly admires soldiers.
"So you two knew each other a long time ago?" Wang Tiantian asked Bai Jinghao again.
Bai Jing glanced at Xia Xiaoli and said, "We only met on the day of the exam, and later found out that we lived in the same place."
Wang Tiantian nodded.
Bai Jinghao didn't want this topic to continue.
"Did you come here together?" Bai Jinghao asked, changing the subject.
“Yes, we’re neighbors. We grew up together and went to the same school.” Wang Tiantian nodded in response, then looked at Su Zhiyang, who remained silent.
Bai Jinghao glanced at the two people and could tell at a glance that something was going on.
He didn't say anything more after that.
It had become a habit for Shen Qiaoyue to go to meetings with Jiang Jinyao.
We hold meetings twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays.
Meetings last for more than an hour, and Shen Qiaoyue and Jiang Jinyao dislike meetings, feeling that they are a waste of time.
Problems that can't be solved won't be solved in a meeting.
When they returned to the office after the meeting, they found that the workers from the workshop had already taken them away.
I'll just vent a little, then get back to work.
At noon, when they went to the canteen for lunch, Shen Qiaoyue watched Bai Jinghao and Xia Xiaoli eat together.
Jiang Jinyao and Shen Qiaoyue, and Ye Hualan and Zhang Hongying, eat together; it seems to have become a habit.
We sat down at a large round table and ate together.
"Hongying, how are they doing with their studies?" Jiang Jinyao asked, taking a sip of vegetable soup and munching on a steamed bun.
Zhang Hongying just happened to bring over the food.
As she sat down, she responded to Jiang Jinyao's words: "It's quite good. Xiaoli is sitting next to Huang Yingzi to learn. After she gets the hang of it, I will take her to learn quality inspection and packaging. She doesn't talk while she's working and is immersed in her own world. This afternoon, I plan to teach her how to use the spinning machine."
“That Comrade Wang Tiantian, she’s a bit slow to get the hang of things,” Zhang Hongying said, taking a sip of soup. “But she’s quite fast at using the machine.”
