Liu Quanshan felt a little embarrassed, since he wasn't dressed very well today.
Before he could answer, the woman behind him spoke up.
She said in an unfriendly tone, "Liu Quanshan, are you leaving or not? Are you still coming to my house? I took the day off today!"
Before Liu Quanshan could even speak, the woman's retort left him speechless, his face flushed red, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
Xu Xiangyang said, "Brother Shan, since you have something to do, you should go first. We can talk another day."
His attitude towards this person is so-so now, but that's only because of Liu Hai.
They are father and son, and no matter what, Liu Hai has shielded him from a lot of trouble.
You can't be sarcastic or mean to someone's son, can you?
Liu Quanshan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with a smile, and then slunk away after the woman.
Xu Xiangyang guessed that this person was probably his new girlfriend. It was a pity about the woman from last time; she was actually better than this one.
No matter what, she would never yell at people in public; she has no basic manners whatsoever.
He shook his head. He couldn't control other people's business; he had a whole bunch of messy things to deal with himself.
Xu Xiangyang didn't go home for lunch until noon.
Now that I'm used to eating three meals a day, I get hungry very early if I skip a meal.
It seems that habits really can change a person.
Xu Xiangyang didn't go out again until after 4 p.m.
This time he's really going to great lengths to find someone; if it really doesn't work out, he'll try to find another job.
He can't just stay like this forever. Even if it costs a lot of money to pull strings, he can afford it.
Standing at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, watching the people coming and going after get off work, this is when there are the most people.
"Comrade Xu, have you been waiting long?" Cao Yajun walked over and said to him, "I just saw the leader back, I'm sorry."
Xu Xiangyang smiled and waved his hand, replying nonchalantly, "No, I haven't been here long. Your work is important. Shall we go get something to eat?"
It's lunchtime now, we can't just stay here forever, can we?
Besides, he needed someone's help today; he needed their assistance with his work.
Cao Yajun did not refuse and nodded, "You go first, I'll go say hello to Shen Fangjun."
Xu Xiangyang actually knew why he had arranged to meet here. The two of them had always had a good relationship and might even be getting married soon.
“Okay, then I’ll wait for you at the restaurant across the street.” He pointed to the restaurant across the street and then went there.
When Cao Yajun arrived, Xu Xiangyang had already ordered the food.
"Comrade Xu," he said, sitting down, "you've come to see me because of work, haven't you?"
The two of you should be frank and direct about this; neither of you should beat around the bush.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and said, "You probably know why I was fired. It's okay if I can't handle the job."
He wasn't begging or shamelessly clinging to anyone. It's a favor if someone helps you, it's their right not to. Going against the mayor—that takes guts, after all.
Cao Yajun laughed when he heard this and said, "Comrade Xu, it's not a matter of whether I help you or not. Your education is sufficient, and I have the quota. As long as you pass the unit's assessment, there will be no problem with getting the job."
Actually, there were many things he didn't say; sometimes things don't need to be said too explicitly.
Moreover, there are many people around here, and it would be bad if someone with ulterior motives overheard it.
Xu Xiangyang understood what he meant and nodded, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble Secretary Cao."
As long as he passes the assessment, he can start working, and Cao Yajun will take care of everything else for him.
That's fine, I feel much more at ease now.
After the two had dinner, Xu Xiangyang and Cao Yajun arranged a time to meet.
I'll go there for the assessment at the beginning of next month. As for the quota, Cao Yajun will take care of it and send it to him then.
Xu Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief; the work issue was resolved.
There's not much else to do. Once I get to my new job, I'll need to maintain relationships with my colleagues.
This is a necessary task; there's no other way.
When Xu Xiangyang got home, he heard laughter coming from the main room.
He walked over out of curiosity and found that Qian Wenqing had arrived at some point.
"Brother Xu, you're back." Qian Wenqing saw the person standing outside the window, then got up and went out.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at him and asked, "Why did you come here?"
They haven't met or had any contact during this period.
Qian Wenqing sighed, "I've been busy, haven't I? I went out on a trip a couple of days ago, but I've found you a job, I don't know if you'd like to take it."
He has been busy these past few days trying to help Xu Xiangyang, because Xu Xiangyang has taken good care of him over the past six months. Although finding a job is a bit troublesome, it's not impossible.
Xu Xiangyang was stunned when he found him a job.
Qian Wenqing said to himself, "The work isn't tiring. It's just driving in a department store, but I can only start as a temporary worker. I'll get the quota in a couple of days."
He pulled a lot of strings to get this job, and once he got the quota, he still had to give gifts to people.
If Xu Xiangyang hadn't saved him back then, he wouldn't have suffered such a massive hemorrhage.
Xu Xiangyang blinked, surprised that this kid would still remember him. It was really something.
"No need," he said. "Work isn't urgent, and besides, I don't want to drive anymore, it's too tiring."
Driving is too hard on his back; he really doesn't want to do it anymore.
Qian Wenqing was stunned. "Don't want to drive? Brother, you can't just find a job whenever you want. You want to keep working and not think about it?"
In his eyes, the whole family was counting on Xu Xiangyang; without his job, their family would definitely live in poverty.
Therefore, finding a proper job as soon as possible is the most important thing.
What do you mean you don't want to do it anymore? Is this something you don't want to do?
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "Alright, brother, I know you mean well. Don't worry about it, I'll definitely find a job. But I still want to thank you."
Well, all that feeding him over the long term wasn't for nothing. It's good that he still thinks about him.
No one will let the tea grow cold once they leave.
Qian Wenqing really couldn't understand his thinking. If the working class didn't go to work, how would they eat?
Basic food rations? Enough for what?
He sighed, looking anxious, and wanted to try to persuade Xu Xiangyang again.
Xu Xiangyang patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to say anything. I've already made up my mind about the job. You don't need to worry about it."
I appreciate the good intentions, but this time he has to work for a government agency. As for why I didn't explain things clearly to Qian Wenqing, it's because things haven't been finalized yet.
What if I fail the assessment, or someone causes trouble and I can't get in? If I say this now, wouldn't it become a joke?
It's not too late to talk about it after we get the results over there.
