Chapter 18 I Bet and Won a Job



Liu Jianguo...

This is it, can you recite it backwards? From the middle?

"Little girl, are you serious?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Jiang Tang was puzzled.

Didn't he make a bet with her to memorize the dictionary? She agreed, but he didn't believe her?

Jiang Tang frowned and looked at Liu Jianguo suspiciously, wondering if he was teasing her.

Liu Jianguo was shocked by Jiang Tang's expression. He had a premonition that if he didn't let her carry him now, he might never be able to get her to do it again.

"Well, you can just follow my back first."

"oh!"

Jiang Tang sat up straight, cleared his throat and began.

"Xinhua Dictionary."

"Revised and re-formatted edition, 1971."

"Published by the Commercial Press, reprinted by the People's Publishing House of **, distributed by the Xinhua Bookstore of ** Province, printed by the People's Printing Plant of ** City, 787x1092 mm 1/64, 11 1/32 printing sheets, 580,000 words, first edition revised in June 1971..."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Seeing that Jiang Tang didn't hesitate or pause at all, Liu Jianguo had to interrupt her.

Looking at Jiang Tang's attitude, he knew that this little girl was serious and not joking.

She can really memorize a dictionary.

He reached out and took the dictionary that was covering the table.

"I tell you the page number and you recite the content? Is that okay?"

"I can only recite up to page 200. I haven't read the rest yet." Jiang Tang didn't try to be boastful.

She can recite everything she has seen.

Liu Jianguo understood what she meant. While he was amazed, he still looked up the dictionary and began to test her.

"Page 48..."

For the next period of time, Liu Jianguo kept testing Jiang Tang.

But no matter how he tested, Jiang Tang always had an answer.

Liu Jianguo became more and more excited and thrilled as he took the exam.

At last he simply closed the dictionary, clapped his hands, and stood up. "Okay, okay, okay, comrade, hello, on behalf of the Agricultural Machinery Station, I welcome you. Welcome to join us."

Jiang Tang blinked. Could this be a job that pays for work?

"You're not going to recite it anymore?"

"No, no thanks."

Liu Jianguo's tone was excited. If the other party was not a lesbian, he would have wanted to grab her hand and shake it hard to express his excitement.

Jiang Tang couldn't relate to Liu Jianguo's excitement at all. "What kind of job are you going to give me? How much will it pay per month?"

"This job is easy to negotiate."

"Our agricultural machinery station is in need of an assistant station manager. The monthly salary is 32 yuan, with 10 kilograms of grain coupons, 2 kilograms of meat coupons, and half a kilogram of oil coupons."

"So little?"

Jiang Tang asked.

Liu Jianguo...

Is this rare?

He coughed and looked at Jiang Tang. "How about this? I'll raise your salary to thirty-five a month. What do you think?"

There is no way for him to increase the bill price, after all, this is a national regulation.

The price can be increased by two or three yuan, the agricultural machinery station has this power.

Jiang Tang said "oh", and Liu Jianguo thought she looked down on the salary, so he immediately continued, "Although the salary and bills are fixed, if we complete the project and overcome difficulties, we will receive rewards."

"award?"

Jiang Tang was more interested in the reward. "What is the reward?"

"Money, tickets, or food, it could be anything."

"No meat?"

Liu Jianguo...

This girl is really good at making demands! How tight are meat tickets now? He thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and raised Jiang Tang's monthly meat ticket to three catties.

Jiang Tang still felt it was not enough.

Liu Jianguo, "Excuse me, do you have many family members?"

“Not much now, but definitely more in the future.”

Liu Jianguo...

Okay, just pretend he didn't ask.

"Salaries at the agricultural machinery station can be increased. As your years of service increase, your salary will increase. Comrade, as long as you work hard, you will definitely have endless meat to eat in the future."

Liu Jianguo made promises to Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang nodded, but still had a question: "Is there a bus that goes to the Agricultural Machinery Station?"

"have."

"Oh, that's fine."

Jiang Tang's tone was indifferent, not at all like the joy of getting a job.

Liu Jianguo was aroused by her curiosity and asked what her parents did.

"Did you come here with your parents to join the army?"

Her accent was that of a southerner, so Liu Jianguo thought she had followed her parents into the army.

Jiang Tang shook his head, "Not my parents."

"I have a partner."

Liu Jianguo...

Well, this girl looks young, but I didn’t expect that she already has a boyfriend.

If she doesn't have a partner, then send her to school and train her well. With her photographic memory, she will definitely be an extraordinary talent in the future.

Liu Jianguo loves talents. In his opinion, talents like Jiang Tang are rare in a century.

Therefore, even though she had no experience, he was willing to take her to the agricultural machinery station and let her become a staff member of the station.

As for technology and so on, we will come to it later.

Let’s dig the person over first.

In this way, Jiang Tang got a job.

Liu Jianguo asked her when she could go to work.

Jiang Tang thought about it seriously and said, "I want to finish reading the books in this library before going."

"Do you want to finish reading all these books?" Liu Jianguo looked around the library. There were at least a thousand books. How long would it take to finish them?

"How about this? You go to work first, and then spend an hour every afternoon reading? What do you think?"
