Chapter 23 This gave him hope, but also made him despair



Chen Zhou didn't know why he asked that, but seeing that he had no ill intentions, he nodded: "Yeah."

Chen Ji broke the good news: "In ten days, the machinery factory will be recruiting internally. Do you want to come?"

Chen Zhou didn't expect there would be such a surprise. He excitedly said, "Can I, can I?"

At the same time, Chen Zhou was confused.

He has such resources, why doesn't he go himself!

Chen Ji's accomplice cleared up his doubts for him: "If we had studied harder, we wouldn't have failed the exam."

State-owned factories like this usually recruit internally.

Most of those who can take the exam are children of employees.

Even if they are not children of employees, they still have relatives in the factory.

Chen Zhou couldn't understand why these people, who were from such a well-off family, would hang out on the street?

Xu Jiajia heard their conversation and heard a business opportunity: "Can I sign up?"

Chen Ji thought Xu Jiajia wanted to go to work, his eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "Yes, of course.

However, it is difficult to take the test.

If you want to work, I can ask my dad to find you a job."

Chen Ji's accomplices looked at this amazing development and didn't know what to say for a moment!

Xu Jiajia looked at Chen Ji with a puzzled look: "Do you have a job?"

Chen Ji shook his head: "No, I don't like being constrained. My family are all workers, and I'm the only one who eats for free. They can support me."

Shen Zhou: “…”

Can you afford it, but still let him hang out on the street?

What is this operation?

Xu Jiajia understood. This was a bratty kid who hadn't experienced the harshness of society. "I still want to take the exam on my own. I appreciate your kindness."

Chen Ji scratched his hair shyly: "No, no need to be so polite."

Xu Jiajia smiled gently: "I want the information about the machinery factory and the previous exam papers. Can you get them?"

Chen Ji is the youngest in the family. When his mother became pregnant with him, good things happened one after another in the family. On the day he was born, his father became the deputy director of the machinery factory.

Everyone in the family says he brings good luck to the family. Even though he can't do anything well, everyone still dotes on him, but he always feels uncomfortable.

But Xu Jiajia's words filled him with energy: "Yes, I must be able to. My father is the deputy director of the machinery factory. Getting the information is easy for me."

Chen Zhou was stunned: "With such a strong backing, why are you still hanging around on the streets? Isn't it better to be a master at home?"

Chen Ji looked sad: "You don't understand, I actually want to do private business, but the country doesn't allow it, hey..."

Xu Jiajia didn't expect that this boy was so intuitive: "Just because you don't allow it now doesn't mean you can allow it in the future."

Chen Ji seemed to have found his organization, and spoke incoherently with excitement: "You, you think so too?"

Xu Jiajia didn't give a direct answer: "Our country is just gathering strength. When the time comes, it will shock the world sooner or later."

Chen Ji nodded his head like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, I also think that day will come.

I was wondering why we get along so well?

It turns out we have the same idea!"

Xu Jiajia and Chen Ji agreed on a meeting time for tomorrow and then returned to the guesthouse.

She was lying in bed.

Thinking about what happened in the past few days.

I fell asleep while thinking about it.

She didn't wake up until there was a knock on the door.

Open the door.

Seeing that it was Shen Yuebai, she pulled him in and shared the good news with him: “In ten days, there will also be an exam at the machinery factory.”

As soon as Shen Yuebai saw her excitement, he knew what she was planning: "Do you want to take the exam?"

Xu Jiajia nodded: "Yeah."

Shen Yuebai heard from his comrades that it was difficult to get into a state-owned factory. The employees who got in were either taking over their parents' jobs or buying their jobs. Some of them got in through exams, and the majority of those who got in were children of employees.

There are very few people like Xu Jiajia who can get in.

Unless smoke comes out of the ancestral grave.

Shen Yuebai was afraid that Xu Jiajia would feel psychological pressure, so he comforted her, "Don't feel any psychological burden, just try it."

Xu Jiajia hugged Shen Yuebai’s neck and kissed him on the face: “It’s great to have you.”

After being with Xu Jiajia for a long time, Shen Yuebai was used to her boldness. He took out two bath tickets: "Take your clothes and go take a bath."

Xu Jiajia exclaimed, "You're amazing! You can borrow anything."

Shen Yuebai: “…”

The bathhouse is not far from the guesthouse, only a five-minute walk away.

The bathhouse is on the second floor.

There are men's and women's bathrooms.

It was Xu Jiajia’s first time in the bathhouse, and everything she saw was curious.

She lifted the thick cotton curtain of the women's bathroom, and a wave of hot air hit her face.

Standing at the door, the first thing you see is a large mirror with a red great man's profile portrait hanging on the east wall.

A handwritten plaque with the words "Serve the People" hangs above the mirror, looking solemn and imposing.

After passing through the changing room and pushing open a red spring wooden door, you will see the bathhouse. The sound of running water and steam are everywhere, and one large and two small baths are vaguely visible inside.

There aren't many people at this point.

Xu Jiajia hung her clothes aside, took off her outer military uniform, and entered the pool wearing only her underwear.

She leaned against the pool tiles, cupping her hands with streams of water and placing them over her body.

The heat seeped into the skin, and beads of sweat seeped out of the face.

Wash halfway.

Xu Jiajia saw something and suddenly screamed: "Ahhhh..."
