Chapter 58 Explanation
Ye Qian was surprised to find out that the factory director lived next door to Li Yue.
Li Yue continued, "My mother passed away when I was very young, and I grew up with my father and grandmother. My father worked in the mine workshop and died in an accident a few years ago. So, my grandmother and I have been dependent on each other ever since. I didn't live in the dormitory often before because of my grandmother. She's old and can't leave anyone alone, but occasionally she's busy and works late, so it's more convenient to live in the dormitory, so the factory director still approved a room for me."
"Why are there those rumors in the factory?" Ye Qian asked.
"I got into the grain factory through an exam. I didn't want people to say I relied on connections, so no one knew that my family and the factory director's family had always lived next door to each other. I also didn't want the factory director to take special care of me. But I have a soft personality. When I was in the union, I was bullied by another colleague. Later, the factory director transferred me to his office as a clerk, and that colleague also resigned."
Ye Qian nodded: "No wonder, when I went there, there were only those few old people, and when the union needed help, it was Du Xiaoli who went."
Li Yue agreed: "Yes, if Du Xiaoli had been assigned to the union, she would definitely not have been bullied by that colleague."
Ye Qian was afraid that she would overthink it, so she explained, "I don't mean anything else. I just think it's better for the union to have people with more lively personalities working there."
Li Yue smiled and said, "I know what you mean. I'm just too soft-hearted and can't build good relationships with those elders. When something goes wrong, no one helps me out. I see that you get along quite well with them. I'm quite envious."
Ye Qian explained to Li Yue, "At first, they ignored me. I was also quite scared when I first started working, and I had never worked before. I didn't dare to say a word in this office. Later, I was bullied by Pan Huiyu, and no one helped me either. It was only after I didn't want to be bullied that I fought back that things got better. Then, as time went by, they started to take care of me because I was younger."
That was because after being bullied by Pan Huiyu, he fought back. They saw that he was not easy to bully, and later on, he could also be of use to them by buying supplies for them.
You see, when a person has value, everyone who sees it will be polite to him, but you can't say that there is no emotion at all for so long.
But in the face of interests, feelings are nothing. Everyone should maintain a good appearance. Don’t ever think that any colleague can become a close friend. That would be too naive.
Ye Qian did not tell Li Yue this. Li Yue was just soft-hearted, not stupid. What if Li Yue thought she was cunning after she said this? Just let her continue to misunderstand.
It is true that Li Yue has a gentle personality and speaks and acts in a gentle manner. Du Xiaoli is different. She has an impetuous personality. Du Xiaoli's personality is more suitable for working in a trade union, so she will be called upon to help when there is a shortage of people. If the assignment had not been made in this way, Li Yue would have gone to the accounting office and Du Xiaoli would have stayed in the trade union, and maybe there would not have been those rumors.
However, Li Yue didn't want to explain this matter. Some things became more confusing the more she explained. After all, there were many people in the factory, and everyone was talking at once. Who knew what the situation would become after all the explanations.
After saying this, Li Yue started crying again: "Ye Qian, I don't have a grandma anymore. I will be alone from now on."
Ye Qian comforted him, "It's okay, it will be fine after a while. I'm not alone, and I'm still living a good life now."
Li Yue's tears stopped when she heard Ye Qian's words. Yes, she knew about Ye Qian's situation. She had been alone since she was very young, and she was still living a good life now. "Yes, I know."
The two chatted for a while and then went to bed. The next day, after having breakfast, they returned to the factory.
She also brought a lot of things with her. Li Yue planned to live in the accommodation while working and go home after resting. Now that her grandmother is gone, there is no need for her to travel back and forth.
Today is also the last day of rest, and Ye Qian stayed in the dormitory to help Li Yue clean up. It’s actually nothing, people nowadays can only carry a few things.
Li Yue only took a bag when she left, but Ye Qian had nothing to do, so helping Li Yue could help her kill some time.
After doing all this, Li Yue insisted on going to the state-owned restaurant for dinner, saying that it was to thank Ye Qian.
Ye Qian couldn't resist her, so she went.
The two of them ordered a plate of braised pork, a bowl of egg soup, and four steamed buns.
These dishes were already very good for that era, and the two of them enjoyed their meals very much.
After going back and washing up quickly, I lay down to rest.
Ye Qian is still a little uncomfortable. She has to go to work tomorrow and she can’t sleep today. What should she do?
Ye Qian tossed and turned until the clock struck zero, and then she fell asleep.
I couldn't get up in the morning.
But it’s okay, it’s just cleaning on the first day, and there’s no need for formal work.
Ye Qian ran madly again and arrived at the office at the last minute.
After Ye Qian went in, Chen Xiaoling and Jiang Xia had already arrived. Ye Qian wished them a happy new year, and the three of them started cleaning.
Wang Juan was also cleaning next door. After everything was cleaned up, this year's meeting began.
Wang Juan’s annual meeting follows the same format as Chairman Feng’s.
First, I greeted everyone, and then asked everyone to concentrate and start work officially tomorrow.
The morning passed in a flash. Ye Qian did not return to the dormitory, but went to the tailor shop and asked the tailor to make her the tweed cloth she bought in Han City.
The tailor always has a smile on his face when he looks at Ye Qian. Ye Qian makes the most clothes around here. If he makes one more piece of clothing, he can earn more. Isn't it natural that he is very happy to see Ye Qian!
Ye Qian returned to the dormitory after finishing dinner.
Not long after Ye Qian returned to the dormitory, Li Yue also came back.
The two chatted for a while and then went to sleep.
Have a good night's sleep.
After going to work the next day, Wang Juan told herself a surprise, that is, her position was promoted and her salary increased.
Currently, jobs are divided into temporary and regular jobs.
But formal workers are also divided into levels, the longer you work, the higher the level.
For example, Ye Qian just became a regular first-level employee and earned more than 25 yuan and some tickets.
The second-level formal worker earns 36 yuan and some tickets.
There are also third and fourth level formal workers, and the higher the level, the harder it is to get promoted.
It usually takes two years to be promoted from level one to level two. If some comrades perform well, they can be promoted earlier.
Needless to say, Ye Qian’s performance is excellent, and this salary increase will take effect directly next month. There are only a few days left in this month, how can she not be happy!
According to Wang Juan, this was a notice issued personally by the factory director, so she had to consider the relationship between Wang Hui and Li Yue.
After returning to the dormitory that night, Ye Qian asked Li Yue: "My rank and salary have been raised. The factory director issued a notice. I wonder if it's because of you."
Li Yue laughed and said, "You don't know the factory director yet. He hates these kinds of nonsense. You are already very good and your performance is excellent. Everyone can see this. Isn't it normal to give him a raise?"
Ye Qian still felt a little strange, but she didn't dwell on it. She felt more relaxed and less worried. "That's true."
Li Yue looked at Ye Qian. What she said was true, but the factory director did get promoted because Ye Qian was nice to her. But she herself was also very outstanding and honest, so she was promoted so quickly. Seeing Ye Qian so happy, she didn't say anything.
