"I contacted Aunt Zhang; she knows people around here. She came over this morning and suggested a few candidates." Thinking of this, Xu Mei hurriedly went back inside to get the list.
Perhaps influenced by the wave of layoffs in state-owned enterprises, Aunt Zhang found five candidates for her in one go.
The paper also briefly introduced their family background and their previous jobs.
"Mom, whether this matter succeeds or not, we should thank Aunt Zhang later. This list is clearly the result of careful consideration."
If Aunt Zhang were a little younger, Liu Zi would have liked to hire her as the human resources director.
"I know, I'll buy two packs of Inamura pastries, two pieces of delicious braised pork, and two bottles of wine. That will be a generous gift." Xu Mei isn't a child; how could she not see Aunt Zhang's good intentions?
"I'll do as you say."
After agreeing on the terms, Liu Zi went to the bank to withdraw the money and then went straight to the wholesale market.
She had already arrived and scouted the area beforehand, finding two large shops and going in to buy a lot of things.
The shops all promised to deliver to her door, but Liu Zi only rode her motorcycle back with a few small items.
Liu Daqiang hadn't returned by the afternoon, but the furniture delivery person had already arrived.
Two wooden beds, a tatami mat, a table, chairs, and a small cabinet were all chosen by Liu Zi at the furniture store last time.
Liu Zi decisively directed the workers to put things away properly; the wooden bed and tatami mats were moved upstairs, and the tables, chairs, and cabinets were carried into the house.
Liu's mother kindly poured water and gave sugar to the two workers who were drenched in sweat, and the two workers left with smiles.
Today is destined to be a busy day.
Wang Jian just boarded the train home; he hasn't been home for two years.
During his senior year of college, he was busy with internships and job hunting, and spent the Spring Festival alone in his dormitory. This year, after starting work, he was arranged by his manager's assistant to be on duty during the Spring Festival two months earlier.
I thought I wouldn't be able to go back this year, but unexpectedly he changed jobs and got a new boss.
The new boss is great. Before the new year, he not only paid him a full month's salary, but also gave him a 20-day holiday after hearing that his home was in the mountainous area of Shaanxi and Gansu, which is a long way to and from.
Before leaving, she gave him a 500 yuan red envelope. Wang Jian rubbed his slightly moist eyes. As long as the boss didn't fire him, he would work for her for the rest of his life.
He walked to his carriage, put his backpack and the New Year's goods he had bought on the storage rack, and sat down with a small bag slung across his shoulder.
The frequent trips between Beijing and his hometown during his four years of university made Wang Jian extremely alert as soon as he got on the bus.
The period before the Lunar New Year is when thieves are rampant. Most of the passengers on the train are people returning home, and they are all carrying money, making them easy targets.
Wang Jian had to take more than 20 hours on this train, and he disguised himself before boarding.
She replaced her backpack with an old schoolbag, and wore an old cotton-padded jacket that was almost leaking cotton when she was in school, with a plaid shirt that was popular among students underneath.
Not long after he sat down, someone struck up a conversation with him, and Wang Jian, wary, began to talk to the person.
"Hey bro, where are you headed?" the other person asked casually.
Wang Jian looked up at him but didn't say anything.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just bored and want to find someone to chat with. I'm an engineer from Jinshi Power Company, and I'm visiting relatives in Xinjiang. Let's just chat casually to pass the time," the man said enthusiastically.
Wang Jian noticed that everyone around him was looking in his direction, and knowing he couldn't avoid it, he had no choice but to speak.
“I’m going home. I went to university in Beijing, but my hometown is Tianshui.” Wang Jian smiled shyly.
The other person exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, a college student! Which university? What's your major?"
Wang Jian noticed that the other person's interest had waned considerably, but he still insisted on continuing the conversation.
"School of Media and Communication, Integrated Management of Cultural Industry Development"
Wang Jian mentioned a professional term.
"Ah! What a great school, what a great program!"
The other party was taken aback, not expecting Wang Jian to speak so professionally, and could only praise Wang Jian's skill for a moment.
Wang Jian wasn't about to let the matter rest. He continued, "Our profession refers to the process of organically integrating different cultural industry sectors, resources, and technologies to achieve coordinated development and innovative management. This includes cross-sector integration, technological innovation, brand building, intellectual property protection, and optimal resource allocation..."
The man's eyes started darting around as he listened. He couldn't understand a word Wang Jian was saying; he hadn't even finished elementary school, and listening to this was really taking his time.
"Okay, brother, you sit down first. I'm going to the restroom. I'll come back and we'll talk later." The man jumped up, turned around and left without looking back, never to return.
Then all the thieves on this train found out that there was a poor bookworm in carriage five who loved to spout off his knowledge, so everyone avoided him.
Wang Jian'an safely completed the more than 20-hour drive and successfully arrived at his hometown, Tianshui.
As soon as he got out of the car, the familiar scent of loess soil filled the air, making him feel especially nostalgic.
He took out his watch from his bag and glanced at the time. There was still an hour before the bus was scheduled to depart, so he needed to grab a bite to eat first.
To avoid giving himself away, he kept eating dry steamed buns with pickled vegetables on the bus, and now every burp he makes smells like pickled vegetables.
Tianshui is a national-level poverty-stricken county, and there isn't even a decent building in the county seat.
Wang Jian went into a low-rise house by the roadside and ordered a bowl of beef noodles from the owner.
Prices in the county town are much lower than in Beijing; a bowl of noodles with extra beef only costs 3 yuan.
Wang Jian poured on some chili sauce and ate with great relish. It was still that familiar taste, unchanged at all.
At 2 p.m., Wang Jian boarded the car to go home.
He was extremely excited. He hadn't been home for two years, and he didn't know how his parents, siblings, and other relatives were doing.
What Wang Jian didn't know was that his family was going through a major upheaval at that time.
The story begins this morning when Wang's second aunt went to find Wang Jian's second sister, Juanzi.
Early in the morning, Aunt Wang came to the door with a smile, begging her elder brother and sister-in-law to let Juanzi come over and help.
Although Wang's parents were not very happy, Wang's grandparents were all with their second brother's family, and their granddaughter was going to help with the work, so no one could find fault with it.
Not long after, her daughter Juanzi came running back, staggering. She had injuries on her face, and her hair and clothes were a mess.
The king's parents were shocked and quickly asked what had happened.
But Juanzi kept saying in a daze, "I killed someone, I killed someone."
Not long after, Aunt Wang came to the door with a group of people, saying that Juanzi had stabbed her brother and that she wanted to call the police to send him to the police station.
Mr. and Mrs. Wang were honest, simple farmers. When they heard Aunt Wang's threats, they immediately begged for mercy.
After Wang Ershen had had enough of the other party's subservience, she came up with another solution.
The idea was to have Juanzi marry her younger brother and take care of him for the rest of his life.
