However, with only a few days left before heading to the countryside, Lin Qian needed to find a way to obtain food, food coupons, and money. Her mother had enrolled the original owner in Heihe for the extra 50 yuan subsidy. But with the original owner's frail physique, without sufficient supplies and money, she feared she would struggle to survive the winter. Lin Qian knew the winters there were extremely cold, and the original owner's cotton-padded clothes were utterly inadequate against the harsh weather. Therefore, obtaining money became the most urgent matter.
"How can we manage without raising money?" Lin Qian muttered to herself. She began to carefully plan how to gather enough supplies and funds in just a few days.
In the original owner's memories, a small, easily overlooked detail caught Lin Qian's attention like a glimmer of light. It was valuable information about internal recruitment at the food factory—something not just anyone could know; only those with connections within the factory could obtain it in advance. The original owner learned of this news purely by chance. She overheard two girls whispering in a corner while shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative. According to the original owner's memory, recruitment would begin at noon the next day.
Lin Qian knew how rare this opportunity was, and she secretly resolved to seize it. Although this recruitment was nominally an internal recruitment, it would still be publicly announced, albeit briefly posted in an inconspicuous corner for a few minutes. Lin Qian was determined to go there early the next day to keep watch and make sure she didn't miss this opportunity.
The next day, before dawn, Lin Qian was already up and preparing. She dressed in her neatest clothes and, with a mix of nervousness and anticipation, headed towards the food factory. When she arrived, the sun had just risen, and there were hardly any people at the factory gate. Lin Qian found a secluded spot and waited quietly.
Finally, the person in charge of posting the notice appeared. Lin Qian kept a close eye on their every move, and the moment the notice was posted on the wall, she rushed over. Thanks to the original owner's memories and her own hard work, Lin Qian successfully registered. Next, it was just a matter of waiting for the exam.
While waiting for the exam, Lin Qian didn't sit idle. She began observing the people around her, especially the well-dressed young women. She knew she planned to sell the job opportunity, and these well-off girls were likely potential buyers. She carefully observed their clothing, demeanor, and expressions, trying to determine who was most likely to be interested in the job and have the means to purchase it.
The exam began, and Lin Qian focused intently on answering the questions. Thanks to the original owner's memories and her own diligent preparation, she performed exceptionally well. Her answers were accurate and complete, demonstrating her solid knowledge and problem-solving skills.
After the exam, Lin Qian confidently awaited the results. As expected, she passed the recruitment exam with top marks. This news caused quite a stir in the factory, with many people curious about this unfamiliar face.
At that moment, a round-faced girl approached Lin Qian. This girl was the daughter of a director at the food factory. She had grown up in privileged circumstances and hadn't held out much hope for the job, knowing her own limitations. However, when she heard that Lin Qian had come in first place and was willing to sell the job opportunity, she immediately realized it was a rare chance.
"I heard you got first place and want to sell this job, is that right?" the round-faced girl asked bluntly.
At the entrance of the food factory, a round-faced little girl walked hurriedly towards Lin Qian. Her face was full of expectation, and the eager light in her eyes seemed to ignite a fire within her.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Xiaoyu. My uncle is Zhou Zhiguo, the director of a food factory. I really want this job opportunity. Would you be willing to sell it to me?" Su Yao asked directly, her voice filled with undisguised anticipation.
Lin Qian looked at Zhou Xiaoyu in front of her and nodded slightly: "I do intend to sell this job. Since you are interested, we can talk about it."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyu's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile. She eagerly grabbed Lin Qian's arm and said, "That's great! Come on, I'll take you to see my uncle right now."
Soon, they arrived in front of Zhou Zhiguo. Zhou Zhiguo looked Lin Qian up and down sharply and asked directly, "I heard you want to sell this job. How much are you planning to ask for?"
Lin Qian hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want to sell it for 800 yuan."
Zhou Zhiguo smiled, a shrewd glint in his eyes: "Young lady, your price is a bit low. This job normally sells for 1200. Do you have other ideas?"
Lin Qian's heart tightened. She knew the other party was not easy to deal with, so she decided to tell the truth: "Director, to be honest, I'm about to go to the countryside, and this job is meaningless to me. I'm thinking of selling the job to get some money and coupons to prepare for going to the countryside. Besides money, I also want some national grain coupons, cotton coupons, and industrial coupons."
Zhou Zhiguo nodded slightly after hearing this: "I see. Going to the countryside is indeed not easy. So tell me, how many votes do you want?"
Lin Qian pondered for a moment and said, "I want 200 jin of national grain coupons, 50 jin of cotton coupons, and 10 industrial coupons."
Su Zhiguo frowned: "You've asked for quite a lot."
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoyu chimed in, "Uncle, she's going to the countryside. She's so pitiful. Please help her."
Zhou Zhiguo looked at Su Yao, then at Lin Qian, and thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll agree to your request since Xiaoyu spoke up for you. 1,000 yuan, 200 jin of national grain coupons, 50 jin of cotton coupons, and 10 industrial coupons—this job will be Xiaoyu's."
