Chapter 49: Money brings confidence
Liu Ying's cousin-in-law Fan Jianhua's high school classmate is the general manager of Jiaoxian Wujiaohua Company. Fan Jianhua was invited by his old classmate to serve as the head of a unit under their Wujiaohua Company. As a new official, Fan Jianhua needed manpower and transferred Liu Ying there.
This is indeed good news for Liu Ying.
Jiaoxian Wujiaohua Company is a state-owned enterprise and is definitely a good unit in Jiaoxian City. The contracts signed by employees of its affiliated units have better welfare benefits than those of garment factories and meat processing plants.
Although Liu Ying has a rural household registration, it does not affect her becoming a rural contract worker. Becoming a contract worker means that the company will provide her with social insurance.
With social security, you will feel more confident.
In her previous life, Su Jiaojiao worked at the Jiali Garment Factory for two years as a temporary worker and was unable to sign a contract. It was only after she went to the capital and joined the knitting company under the Jiahe Group that she signed a labor contract.
The Wujiaohua Company mainly deals in products such as hardware, transportation, and chemicals.
Simply put, it is a company that integrates production, supply and sales, has a wide range of business, is closely related to people's daily lives, has relatively good benefits, and ordinary people cannot enter at all.
In the 1990s, in order to respond to the country's call to develop the tertiary industry, many state-owned enterprises and institutions in Jiao County established subordinate units. Moreover, the units were not large in scale. They usually built a row of storefronts in front of their own units and established independent small unit companies, which were responsible for their own profits and losses.
As far as she knew, the subordinate units of Wujiaohua Company included Wujiaohua Hotel, Decoration Company, Seed Material Company, and Fertilizer Company. Although they were called companies, they were actually just offices with company signs hanging on them, which looked quite high-end.
However, the subordinate units of the Wujiaohua Company did do a lot of practical work, such as selling fertilizers and seeds during the busy farming season. In her previous life, she once passed by the Wujiaohua Company and saw a long queue in front of the material company. Many people went to buy high-quality potatoes mixed with wood ash, saying that the yield was particularly high.
"That's really good news." Su Jiaojiao was very happy for Liu Ying. This job was much better than her job selling film at Hualian Department Store. "When are you moving? If it's the weekend, I can help you move."
"No, I didn't order anything extra." Liu Ying hummed a little tune and waved her hand. "My cousin's husband arranged for me to be a cashier in a restaurant. The work is not tiring, and they provide food and accommodation."
"That's good." Su Jiaojiao also thought this job was good. She told Liu Ying about her apartment rental in the snack street. Liu Ying hugged her and said with red eyes, "Jingjiao, I thought I had it hard, but who knew you had it even harder? You have to earn your own tuition to go to school. Your father is really obsessed."
She dropped out of school because she failed to get into high school.
If she passed the exam, her parents would definitely not let her earn her own tuition.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to mention Su Houli. She was tired after a busy day. She took some snacks and asked Liu Ying to come and eat with her. The two of them sat on the bed, eating and chatting. Su Jiaojiao was still more concerned about Liu Ying and Xiao Wu. "How are you and Xiao Wu doing?"
"Not bad." Liu Ying ate her instant noodles. "We went out to see a movie together last night, and he bought some sunflower seeds."
"We went to the movies!" Su Jiaojiao bought mostly Liu Ying's favorite foods. She picked out some old-fashioned bread and Wahaha for herself. Liu Ying blushed a little. "He came to see me, so I went. After the movie, he sent me back. He didn't say anything. But my mom was worried. She asked me to bring Xiao Wu back to her and take care of him. I said I wouldn't bring him home for two years."
"That's right, you're still too young, there's no need to rush." Su Jiaojiao actually didn't agree with Liu Ying falling in love right now, but Liu Ying went on the blind date because of Wang Lei's face. As a classmate, it was not easy for her to ask her to break up. "Let's just work hard now and earn more money. Only with money can we have confidence."
"Yes!" Liu Ying nodded and pointed to the room. "If I had money, I wouldn't live here."
After eating and drinking, the two turned off the lights and went to sleep.
As soon as I lay down, I heard someone knocking on the door. It was a drunken man's voice: "Open the door, open the door quickly!"
His voice was particularly harsh in the dark night.
It was so harsh that it was frightening.
Su Jiaojiao and Liu Ying quickly got up from the bed. Liu Ying cursed him and called him a psycho. Just as she was about to get out of bed, Su Jiaojiao grabbed her and said, "Don't provoke him. Let him knock!"
There is no point in arguing with a drunk in the middle of the night.
If the door is opened, the trouble will be even greater.
"There really are all kinds of people..." Liu Ying muttered, then lay down again. The man knocked a few more times, "Damn it, if you don't open the door, I'll kick it."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of someone opening a window upstairs. It was an old man's voice with full energy: "Fuck, you drank some horse urine and ran here to act wild. Don't you know your last name? Get out of here!"
With a bang.
A beer bottle was thrown from upstairs and shattered into pieces.
Silence soon returned outside.
The boss is always the boss!
They both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
It's too unsafe here.
It's scary.
Thinking of the house she rented in the snack street, Su Jiaojiao decided it would be better to change the lock. Although the snack street was much safer than this side, safety measures still needed to be in place.
Once you think of it, you have to do it. The next day, Su Jiaojiao asked a locksmith to replace the lock of the rental house with a double insurance lock.
After changing the lock, she went to Jiali Garment Factory to find Qin Shuang.
The sewing machines in the sewing workshop on the second floor were humming, and the young men in the packaging workshop on the first floor were waving irons and ironing the finished products. The ironed products were hung on the hangers in the back row, waiting for needle inspection and packing.
Everything is so familiar yet strange.
In her previous life, she worked as a seamstress in the sewing workshop on the second floor. Like everyone else, she worked on the assembly line sweating profusely every day. At that time, she was responsible for pressing the visible stitches, which were the two visible stitches on the front placket. She was not good at it at the beginning, and even with a double needle, it was crooked. She often skipped lunch and sat at her workstation to repeatedly dismantle and practice.
In less than half a month, she had pressed the visible seams straight and beautiful.
Gradually, she took over this process and was sometimes transferred to other groups to help with pressing the visible stitches.
The reason why she was discovered and appreciated by Qin Shuang was not because of her good pressing of visible lines, but because of a clothing knowledge competition, which was held by the factory to enable everyone to have a deeper understanding of the specific process of clothing from fabric to finished garment.
Su Jiaojiao stood out from more than one hundred contestants who registered in the entire factory, scored full marks in the clothing knowledge quiz, won first place, and received a bonus of 200 yuan.
From then on, Qin Shuang remembered her and personally brought her up by his side to train her. He transferred her from the assembly line in the workshop to the clothing store in the factory to sell clothes. Sometimes he took her to the Mocheng wholesale market to buy goods, and even took her with him on business trips.
Later, Su Jiaojiao found out that those clothing knowledge contest questions were set by Qin Shuang.
