On the way to the office, Su Yu laid bare the truth about the two men.
The cousin introduced by Secretary Zhou is named Cheng Li. She's only eighteen years old and hasn't even finished high school yet. Her grades are average. Her cousin brought her here, saying, "Isn't the point of studying to find a job? There's no hope for university, so it's better to take a job while you can. It's better than being unemployed after graduation."
The cousin introduced by Secretary Gao is named Gao Ming. He is twenty years old this year and has already graduated from high school. Because he couldn't find a suitable job, he had previously worked as a temporary worker in a transportation company.
In short, one is a workplace newbie, and the other is a half-baked professional.
"Old Zhou and Old Gao are both capable men, and I certainly trust the people they introduce. After all, with their family background in scholarship, you guys are bound to be just as good. However, I have a good relationship with Old Zhou and Old Gao, so I'll definitely give you a few pointers."
The two immediately listened attentively. In this place, Su Yu was the only person they knew. They wanted to hear everything Su Yu had to say.
"Workplaces and schools are different, and classmates and colleagues are different. There is competition between them. You are so young, you can't just think about being a mere clerk for the rest of your lives. That's irresponsible to your own life. You must have the courage to dream and the determination to strive to become leaders in the future."
The two inexperienced young people were somewhat excited by Su Yu's "chicken soup" (a metaphor for encouragement and inspiration).
Do you know how I got promoted?
The two shook their heads.
Su Yu said, “I don’t usually tell this to just the two of you. The reason I gained the leader’s trust is because of two words: diligence. The reason Chairman Sun made me his secretary is because I always made sure his office was clean and tidy and made him tea. I made sure he was in a good mood to do his work. You might think that serving tea and water isn’t very presentable. But the important thing isn’t serving tea and water, but the attitude you show that satisfies people.”
Seeing the two looking thoughtful, Su Yu said earnestly, "As the saying goes, 'No pain, no gain.' For example, if you two were doing the same job, who would the leader notice? Of course, it would be the one who is proactive, right? Put yourself in their shoes, and you'll understand. Lao Zhou and Lao Gao are both my friends, so I can't favor either of you. The only thing that matters is whose performance is better."
"Officer Su, we understand." Both nodded.
Su Yu smiled with satisfaction, "Good that you understand. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you in the union. No one will bully you. If you don't understand anything about your work, you can come and ask me."
Cheng Li and Gao Ming both nodded happily.
It feels good to have someone look after you in an unfamiliar place.
They then glanced at each other, their eyes filled with a hint of competition.
Su Yu first took the two men to see Chairman Sun. Chairman Sun didn't seem to care much about recruitment. After offering a few words of encouragement, he had Su Yu take them to the labor union to complete the formalities.
On the way, Su Yu told them about Chairman Sun's usual habits, including his get off work hours and when he needed to make tea in the morning. However, she didn't specify who should do it.
As for who took notes more or who was more conscientious, Su Yu wasn't worried about that. What she wanted now was for someone to clean the office and serve Chairman Sun tea and water. Chairman Sun didn't want her to do it, but if the office got messy over time, she couldn't really just stop doing it.
Once inside the union compound, Su Yu introduced the two to Committee Member Hu and Committee Member Zhang.
Everyone warmly welcomed the two newlyweds, making them blush with excitement.
After gaining the approval of the union members, Su Yu took the two of them to the factory committee to complete the formalities.
Upon seeing Officer Tian, Su Yu smiled and said, "Officer Tian, I've come to see you."
Officer Tian looked up at Su Yu, then silently took out a loan slip that had been signed by Factory Director Gao from the drawer and handed it to Su Yu.
"It's done."
Su Yu took it and said with a smile, "I'm sure you can handle this. Let's have a meal together instead."
Officer Tian exhaled a breath of stale air, "No need." He was worried he wouldn't be able to bring himself to eat it.
Su Yu smiled and said, "You're so polite. Well, that's true, there's no need for formalities between us. By the way, these are two comrades from our union. Could you please help me with their onboarding documents?"
Officer Tian: "..."
Seeing the two of them looking dumbfounded, Officer Tian silently handed them the forms to fill out.
The two worked quickly and soon filled out their files.
Then, Officer Tian gave them an onboarding supplies list and told them to go to the logistics department to collect their items.
"Go quickly, don't delay," Officer Tian said sternly. She really didn't want to see Su Yu anymore; she had a headache.
Su Yu then greeted them with a smile and led the two to the logistics department to collect their belongings.
After they left, Officer Gao asked curiously, "Tian, when did you and Comrade Su Yu get along so well? Have you finally come to your senses?"
Officer Tian gave him a cold look and uttered a few words, "What...is it... your... business?!"
Su Yu led the two to the warehouse and told them to get their own supplies. She then went to the logistics accountant and collected a 1,000 yuan advance. This money was deducted from Su Zhi's monthly salary.
Once the money was in her pocket, she felt relieved.
After a while, Cheng Li and Gao Ming came out with their work clothes, both looking excited and overjoyed.
From this day forward, the two of them officially became members of the glorious working class.
