After the greetings were almost over, Mother Lin took the initiative to say, "A Yuan, what is the reason for you to come to see me today? Just tell me directly. If I can do it, I will definitely do it without hesitation. If I can't do it, I will help you find someone else."
They have known each other for decades and they know each other very well.
A Yuan would never bring Xiao Zhao to see her for no reason. He must have encountered some difficulties.
If a good friend encounters difficulties, she will definitely not refuse to help if it is within her ability.
Back then, she told Lao Lin that it was a job transfer to another place, but in fact, she just made the wrong choice and was ostracized and demoted.
Their life outside was very difficult, thanks to A Yuan who sent them money and things every year. Although it was not much, it helped them a lot.
"Ayun, I'll tell you straight away." Mother Chen didn't hesitate and asked Chen Zhao to tell Mother Lin what he had told her before.
His mother has already paved the way for him, so how could Chen Zhao fail at this time?
He confidently and carefully told Mother Lin about the Jiahe Factory, and placed some samples he had brought with him on the table to show Mother Lin.
Mother Lin originally thought that A Yuan wanted her to find a job for Xiao Zhao so that she could bring him back from the countryside. She had already started thinking about where to start.
I didn't expect it was about purchasing goods.
Although she works in the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, she is in charge of logistics, which is somewhat different from the purchasing department.
However, when she looked at the samples on the table, she was very fond of them.
She had seen similar products at the Friendship Store before. However, it was not only expensive, but also required foreign exchange coupons. Ordinary people could not buy it.
Mother Lin thought for a while before saying to Chen Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, to be honest, although I work in the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, I work in the logistics department, which is not on the same line as the purchasing department. So my opinion on the purchase of goods does not count."
When Chen Zhao heard this, his heart sank a little. However, he still managed to keep his composure. He still had that smiling face.
Looking at Chen Zhao's expression, Mother Lin was very happy. Although Xiao Zhao was young, his temperament was still stable.
At least when he heard himself say that, his face didn't fall immediately.
After a pause, Mother Lin took a sip of water and continued, "However, I have a good relationship with the deputy director of the purchasing department and can talk to him. I can help you make some connections. How about you discuss the specific matters yourself?"
"Really?!" Chen Zhao couldn't believe his ears. When he heard what Lin's mother said before, he thought it was hopeless and had already started to think of other ways. Unexpectedly, he heard such good news in the end.
Mother Chen looked at her son's startled expression and reached out to knock him on the back of the head, "Keep your voice down! Who are you trying to scare to death? What your Aunt Lin said must be true. Why don't you thank Aunt Lin quickly?"
Then she turned back to Mother Lin and said, "Ayun, I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble."
Mother Lin waved her hand and said, "There's no need to talk about this between the two of us. I'm very happy that you can come to me for help."
After they agreed on the details, it was time for Mother Lin to go to work in the afternoon, so Mother Chen and Chen Zhao sent Mother Lin back to work together.
When only Mother Chen and Chen Zhao were on the road, Mother Chen said to Chen Zhao with a serious expression, "Auntie Lin is helping you to make connections, you must do your job well. Don't do something unreliable, or you will end up hurting Auntie Lin. If that happens, I will just treat you as an irrelevant son. Did you hear that clearly?!"
"Listen carefully! Listen carefully!" Chen Zhao was not convinced. In his mother's mind, he was so unreliable. "If I mess up, you don't even need me. Old Qin can kill me directly."
The director of Jiahe Factory is Comrade Ruan. If he dares to mess up, Lao Qin will definitely not let him go given how protective he is of his people.
"Who is Lao Qin?" Mother Chen felt that she didn't understand anything about the people her son knew now.
"Lao Qin, he's my boss. I met him when I went to the countryside..."
Chen Zhao followed Mother Chen all the way home and told his mother how he met Lao Qin, how Lao Qin protected Comrade Ruan, and how Comrade Ruan became the director of Jiahe Factory.
It was not until I returned home that I finished telling all these things.
If you talk too much, your throat will get dry. But at least you have reached home.
Chen Zhao left his mother and went straight to the kitchen. He poured himself a big bowl of water and drank it all in one breath.
Mother Chen listened along the way and began to admire Comrade Qin and Comrade Ruan.
She also felt relieved that her son could associate with such a capable young man.
However, judging from what his son said, Comrade Qin is pursuing Comrade Ruan.
Turning back to see her son drinking water, she was worried again, "Look at you, you are not young anymore. Others know how to pursue lesbians, but what about you? You don't have any idea about this, right?"
Mother Chen didn't have any prejudices. She only had one requirement for her son to find a partner, that is, the person had to have good character. Everything else was secondary. She didn't care whether the person was from the countryside or the city.
Over the years, she has seen everything in this alley.
There are very hardworking wives in the countryside, while there are also those who are disrespectful to their elders; there are unreasonable wives in the city, while there are also those who work hard and are willing to complain, so she has seen it all clearly.
Background and so on are secondary. The most important thing is character.
"Mom, I'm at the age to start a career, why would I date someone?!" Chen Zhao felt that he was really stupid. He had just told his mother about Lao Qin and Comrade Ruan, but now he had directly dug himself into a hole.
His mother didn't remember this before.
"Who says you can't have a girlfriend when you're old enough to do business?!" Mother Chen was furious. Are these two things in conflict? There is no conflict at all! "A capable person can have a career and a girlfriend, isn't that the Lao Qin you mentioned?! You should learn from him. If there is a girl you like, you should get in touch with her. I only have one requirement, and that is that she must have good character. We can't marry a troublemaker into our family!"
