Qiu Mao is a restless person. He said that, but after returning home, he hadn't even had a chance to sit down before he put on his coat and went out again.
"Son, where are you going again?" Qiu's mother asked, seeing Qiu Mao coming and going.
"Mom, I'm going to find a job. With a job, what kind of daughter-in-law can't I have? You never liked Xu Yue anyway. In the future, I'll find a girl you like!"
"Jobs aren't so easy to find. If they were, you could find one for your mother too!" Qiu's mother thought Qiu Mao was joking, but Qiu Mao replied:
"Mom, you're right. I need to get them to take over both your and Dad's jobs!"
What was said in jest was taken seriously by Qiu Mao, who decided to ask for an exorbitant sum.
Hengxin Factory was a large factory. Qiu Mao went there according to the address given by Bai Jiaojiao, and after asking around, he arrived at the main gate.
Standing at the factory gate, seeing the scale of the factory, he immediately felt that his family's future was promising.
The security guard stopped him and asked, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
Qiu Mao looked unfamiliar and wasn't wearing work clothes, so the security guard assumed he was a worker's family member.
"I'm here to see the factory manager. My name is Qiu Mao, and I've already spoken to him."
"Wait a minute, I need to make a phone call."
Looking at the setup in the guardhouse, Qiu Mao couldn't help but feel that he had made the right choice coming here.
It's such a comfortable job, sheltered from the wind and rain. Wouldn't it be better if his dad did it?
The security guard called Shen Heng, who said, "Tell him to wait. I'll have someone bring him in later."
Shen Heng hadn't expected Qiu Mao to arrive so quickly.
"Xiao Liang, go to the door and bring the person in."
Xiao Liang is Shen Heng's newly hired secretary. She is also a college graduate, very capable, and highly professional.
Xiao Liang put down his work and went to the door to welcome Qiu Mao in.
"Hey, what's your relationship to the factory manager?"
"I am the factory manager's secretary."
"Do you know who I am?" Qiu Mao put his hands in his pockets and grinned smugly.
The factory director's secretary came to pick him up personally, which shows that the factory director still cares about Xu Yue quite a bit.
He was taken to Shen Heng's office, where Shen Heng told Xiao Liang, "Don't let anyone disturb us later."
"OK."
When Xiao Liang left, he closed the door behind him.
Shen Heng spoke frankly: "Since you've come all this way, you must have thought it through. They told me they could arrange a dispatcher job for you. Do you have any objections?"
“The dispatcher’s job is fine,” Qiu Mao said, looking at Shen Heng, “but I have one more condition.”
"What are the conditions?"
Shen Heng was a little impatient, but he could only go along with his question.
This guy looks like he deserves a beating. Bai Jiaojiao was the one who told him to do this, otherwise Shen Heng would have grabbed him and thrown him out the window long ago.
“My parents are currently idle at home. You must arrange a job for them as well. Only when our whole family is comfortable will I let Xu Yue go. I think the gatekeeper position is quite suitable for my dad. As for my mom, she doesn't have much education, but she can work in the factory canteen.”
Qiu Mao had already made arrangements for Shen Heng's journey.
Shen Heng was almost laughing at this person's anger.
But then he thought about it and nodded: "That gatekeeper has connections, I can't fire him. But I can arrange for your parents to work in the cafeteria. Your mom can help out in the kitchen, and your dad can serve food or do grocery shopping. What do you think?"
Qiu Mao's eyes lit up when he saw that Shen Heng was so easy to talk to: "Let my father be in charge of the purchasing! He's good at keeping accounts!"
Shen Heng sneered inwardly: "Alright, it's settled then. The salary will be the same as everyone else's. The aunties in the kitchen get twenty yuan a month, and the purchasing staff gets twenty-three. The three of you should go to the hospital for a check-up, especially your parents who work in the kitchen. You can bring the check-up receipts to the accountant for reimbursement. If there are no problems, you can go back now. I have a lot of things to do."
After Shen Heng finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
Qiu Mao didn't care that Shen Heng's actions seemed like he was trying to get rid of someone. He was just happy. He hadn't expected such a good thing to happen. This was much better than marrying Xu Yue.
Qiu Mao happily returned home and told his parents the good news.
"Are you delirious from the fever, child?"
Qiu's mother stared at Qiu Mao and reached out to pat his head.
"Oh, Mom, I'm not confused, I'm perfectly clear-headed! Doesn't Xu Yue have a capable friend? She wants to help Xu Yue. In order to keep Xu Yue from revealing that she's pregnant out of wedlock, do you think they would dare to refuse?"
"Oh, that Xu Yue is quite valuable, huh?" Qiu's mother nudged Qiu's father after hearing Qiu Mao's words. "Look at our son, how successful he is. You old man, you haven't earned a single penny for the family since you started taking care of your father. Now, our son has not only found a high-paying job, but he's also found work for us! Shopping is very lucrative. From now on, I'll work in the kitchen, and whatever you want to eat, I'll bring back extra for dinner!"
Even before she started her job, Qiu's mother was already making plans.
Mr. Qiu also said, "I am blessed, I am blessed. Fortune tellers all say that I will have good fortune in my old age."
When Shen Heng returned home, he told Bai Jiaojiao about the arrangements he had made for Qiu Mao.
Bai Jiaojiao sneered, "I thought this person could at least hold out until the next day, but he went to see Xu Yue in the morning and then came to your factory in the afternoon."
"I've come up with a way to prevent Xu Yue from returning to Zhuzhou."
Bai Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I thought of that too."
"You're such a little rascal." Shen Heng gently pinched Bai Jiaojiao's nose.
You're a big bad guy!
Bai Jiaojiao wrinkled her nose at Chen Heng, then ran away. As a result, snow water dripping from the eaves fell onto the stone slabs on the ground, and Bai Jiaojiao accidentally slipped on it.
"Be careful. You're a mother now, why are you still so loud and boisterous?"
Shen Heng went over and helped Bai Jiaojiao, who was losing her balance.
"I'm making a fuss?" Bai Jiaojiao glared at Shen Heng. "You're the one making a fuss! You even made thunder and rain! Hey! Shen Heng!"
Shen Heng picked Bai Jiaojiao up in his arms and said, "I'll show you how thunder and rain can happen!"
"Shen Heng!"
"You have no manners! Call him Brother Heng."
"Chen Heng, put me down!"
Shen Heng carried Bai Jiaojiao to the kang (a heated brick bed), while Shen Shi played by himself on the side. When he saw his father holding his mother, he crawled over and said, "Daddy, hug me, lift me up."
Shen Heng usually likes to have his dad lift him up high, and he usually does it. But now he says, "Dad and Mom are playing today, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."
Chen Shi pouted; tomorrow seemed like a very distant time to him.
However, after a brief moment of sadness, he went off to play elsewhere, showing great independence.
"Alright, stop messing with me."
Bai Jiaojiao asked Shen Heng to put her down: "Our little stone is so well-behaved, so easy to take care of."
Shen Heng: "People say that children who aren't clingy don't grow up to be affectionate with others."
Bai Jiaojiao: "...Shut your stinking mouth."
