Although Shanghai is much more prosperous than other cities now, it still lags far behind in terms of convenience for food, clothing, housing, and transportation in later generations.
After a few days of sightseeing, Zhao Qinglan lost interest, and with her husband's limited vacation days, the family decided to head home.
Cheng Tao actually wanted to go with them, but after he called his parents, his father told him to stay at his grandfather's house for a few more days.
Cheng Tao was no longer a child, and even if he was unwilling, he had to obey his father's arrangements.
Knowing they were going home, Grandpa Cheng not only sent his grandson over with some local specialties from Shanghai, but also asked him to help them buy tickets.
When Zhao Qinglan and the others checked out and left, Cheng Ce had brought not only his own car, but also another one from somewhere.
Since they had already driven their car, Zhao Qinglan and her companions didn't stand on ceremony. Cheng Tao also came with his cousin to see them off.
In the train station waiting room, Cheng Tao looked at Da Wa with reluctance.
"Yan Sen, wait for me to come back and play with you."
"knew."
Because Zhao Qinglan bought a lot of things while shopping at the department store, plus the local specialties sent by the Cheng family, they had a lot more luggage to take back. Fortunately, their family is large, so each person could share the load and they were able to manage.
The children were very excited when they arrived in Haishi, but on the way back they were all lazy and listless, just like the third child.
The hotel rooms were quite nice, but after a few days, they started to miss their own home.
Not to mention the children, Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai also felt physically and mentally exhausted and wanted to go home.
Listening to the clattering of the train, they finally returned to the provincial capital.
Once home, the family members took showers and then rested in their own rooms.
Zhao Qinglan was too lazy to even cook, so in the end they ate the food they brought back from the military-civilian joint venture.
After resting for the next day, Li Huai went to work early, and the children became energetic again.
Only Zhao Qinglan remained too lazy to move.
Just one more day of rest, and then I'll get up and keep fighting!
Actually, all she wanted at first was for her family to be safe and happy, and for her to earn a little money so she could retire early.
Unexpectedly, step by step, the goals I've set now have already surpassed what I set back then.
True to her word, after resting at home for another day, she appeared at the company looking refreshed and energetic.
As soon as she returned, she received good news.
"Are there really college students willing to come here?" Zhao Qinglan was a little incredulous.
Qin Zhaocai nodded. "It's true, it's just that you weren't here, Mr. Zhao, so I had someone go back and wait for news."
"Contact someone immediately and have them come to the company in the next couple of days."
"good."
Although he was in finance, Qin Zhaocai would also help out with other things in his spare time, since their company still had very few people.
Zhao Qinglan was also puzzled. Where did this college student come from? Why would he be willing to give up a secure job and come to her small temple?
Although she was very confident about the future of her company, it seemed that it couldn't compare to the secure jobs of many government employees.
Her doubts were quickly answered.
Looking at the young man in his early twenties in front of her, Zhao Qinglan raised her doubts.
"Didn't the school assign you a job when you graduated?"
"We broke up," the girl, of average appearance with braids, said calmly.
"Then why didn't you go anywhere else and came here instead?"
Zhang Wenjing adjusted her glasses and replied, "Because I found that place wasn't where I wanted to go, but this place feels perfect for me."
She didn't just graduate this year; she's already been working at her assigned workplace for a year.
"Do you even know our company? And you think it's a good fit?" Zhao Qinglan countered.
"Your company is registered in... that's all I know."
Zhao Qinglan was somewhat shocked as Zhang Wenjing recounted Lanxin's situation in detail, as if she were preparing a lesson plan.
Although some details are still missing, to an outsider, Zhang Wenjing's preparations have been quite thorough.
"Just because you know her, you think she's suitable?" Although she admired Zhang Wenjing to some extent, she still wanted to understand her thoughts thoroughly.
Their company is short of talent, but it's not like they'll just hire any college graduate. What if they're just good-sounding but useless?
There are some things that college students may not be able to do well.
This time, Zhang Wenjing smiled slightly shyly. "I heard that you offer very good benefits. If I work hard, you won't treat me unfairly, right?"
If it's about money and future prospects, then Zhao Qinglan would feel relieved.
After discussing some other matters, Zhao Qinglan made her decision.
"You can start work next week. Take care of anything that needs to be resolved as soon as possible. If a week isn't enough, we'll extend your time."
"Okay, I definitely won't let you down." Zhang Wenjing said excitedly.
Little did she know how fortunate she would be to have made such a firm decision later on.
Zhao Qinglan was in a good mood after unexpectedly getting a good university degree.
When she got home that day, she cooked several elaborate dishes, which her husband and children enjoyed.
"By the way, when will the results of Da Wa's high school entrance exam come out?" Li Huai asked as soon as he lay down that night.
"Well, I think it should be soon." Yes, I almost forgot about it.
The main problem is that the older kids just watch TV and read books every day, and they never mention the high school entrance exam. They just forget about it when they're busy with work.
Because the eldest child didn't attend junior high school here, he doesn't have many classmates or friends in the provincial capital. Sometimes when the second child goes out to play with his classmates, he wants to invite his older brother along, but the eldest child won't go.
