When Xiang Mianmian returned home, with the smile still on her face, she saw a guest at home. It was her fifth aunt Zhang Laidi, whom she had only seen during the Chinese New Year.
As soon as I came in, I felt that the atmosphere was not right. My aunt and mother both looked very unhappy.
She put down her backpack first, rubbed her aching shoulders, and changed into her casual shoes while politely greeting everyone, "Hello, Fifth Aunt."
Zhang Lai Di, who looked unhappy, forced a smile and said, "Little sister, you're so diligent that you even go to pick bamboo shoots. Sixth sister's children are all filial, unlike mine who give me a headache."
Xiang Mianmian didn't dare to say anything after being praised for no reason.
Fortunately, her mother Zhang Jidi gave her a task: "Are you tired? Go drink some water, and go to the kitchen to wash the bamboo shoots and brush your muddy shoes."
Normally, I am somewhat reluctant to do work, but now I will do anything as long as I can stay away from the battlefield.
"Okay." Xiang Mianmian immediately responded and walked into the kitchen with her shoes in her left hand and a backpack in her right hand.
In the living room, the two sisters were still exchanging witty banter.
Zhang Laidi's face was full of bitterness. She didn't want to ask for help, and she didn't interact much with others. "Sister, I don't want to trouble you either. There is no other way."
She has always stayed at home, and her relationship with Zhang Jidi is based on courtesy and there is no conflict of interest. But now she really has to ask her sixth sister for help to get things done. There is no other way.
Zhang Jidi sighed, "This is indeed a difficult situation for you. The methane plant is not our territory, so we have no say in it."
I don’t know where the fifth sister got the information from, but she insisted that Chen Wei could help solve the problem.
Zhang Laidi pushed the gift he brought away and said earnestly, "Sister, just talk to my nephew's husband. I'm not asking him to cheat, I just want fairness. You know how hard it is to find a job. This is the lifeblood of our Zhang family."
The gift box is quite large and looks very high-end.
Zhang Jidi didn't even look at the gift, just shook his head and refused: "No way!"
This matter had caused even the lifeblood of the Zhang family to be exposed. How could she make the decision?
Zhang Laidi suddenly became anxious: "I'm not trying to do anything bad, I just want fairness! Your nephew Zhang Mingyu had the same score as Hu Bing, so why was he admitted while my son failed?!"
The incident occurred during the methane plant's second recruitment.
There were a lot of people being recruited this time, and people from all over the county came to take the exam. Zhang Laidie’s second son, Zhang Mingyu, did not mind the distance and almost crossed an entire county to apply for the gas compression operation exam.
Because there were too many people, the methane plant had to conduct the exam in batches, and it took two days to complete.
On the third day after the exam, the examiners who graded the papers expeditedly decided on the factory's admission list.
The announcement of the recruitment results naturally attracted a lot of people to watch, and Zhang Mingyu discovered that 40 people were admitted to the gas compression operation position. The 40th place Hu Bing scored one point lower than him in the written test, but one point higher in the practical test.
Adding up the two scores, we get the same score. Why was Hu Bing admitted but Zhang Mingyu was not?!
The dissatisfied young man started making a scene on the spot. He even threatened to visit and report the situation and have all the unfair factory leaders dismissed.
Unexpectedly, although he was shouting fiercely, he was captured and subdued by the guards in a few moves, and then his parent Zhang Laidie was called over.
Zhang Laidie was waiting at home, looking forward to his son coming back with a smile and saying that he was accepted, and then everyone would celebrate this good news together.
How happy I am! It feels like a dream just thinking about it.
All I heard was a breathless neighbor coming over and saying, "Your son got caught causing trouble at the methane plant, and they want you to come pick him up!"
She hurriedly asked her neighbor what had happened, thought about it for a while, and then went straight to Zhang Jidi with valuable gifts.
Chen Wei, the R&D director of the methane plant, is Zhang Jidi's son-in-law. She heard about it when she came to visit relatives on the second day of the Chinese New Year. After all, it is a way.
Zhang Jidi knew that his son-in-law had helped the Xiang family a lot, but how could a research and development director have the ability to recruit people to the methane plant?
For example, Wang Chunting’s second niece can only look at the list of books listed by Chen Wei. If she fails the exam, she fails. This exam is no joke and you can’t force people to pass.
The job operation is very dangerous. If the operation is not done properly, it may cause leakage or explosion!
She could only refuse with a headache: "The methane plant recruitment office must have their considerations. I can only accompany you to bring my nephew back. A son-in-law really has no say in work matters!"
Zhang Laidi looked unhappy: "How can this be possible? It would be better if my nephew and son-in-law were present."
She thought that as long as Chen Wei came, she could at least use his influence to say that they were relatives. What if her Zhang Mingyu was admitted instead?
Zhang Jidi gave an example, his position clear: "No, this is to avoid suspicion. Chen Wei's brother took over his mother's job and didn't go to the methane plant."
Even his own brother can't operate behind the scenes and can only serve as a waiter on old machines in the match factory, let alone his wife's aunt's cousin?
After a long struggle, Zhang Jidi still refused to give in.
Zhang Laidi had no choice but to agree as he was rushing to pick up his son. "Forget it. Take me to the methane plant first and bring Mingyu out."
The two sisters reluctantly reached a consensus and prepared to set out to rescue the person.
Before Zhang Jidi left, he instructed Xiang Mianmian, "Wash the bamboo shoots, cut the bacon into a palm-length strip and soak it in water, and cook a pot of rice for eleven people. Wait for me to come back and cook the dishes."
Then he went to the methane plant with Zhang Laidie.
Since the results were announced today on a weekend, there were not many workers in the factory as they were all out doing things.
But there were quite a lot of young people gathered at the entrance where the recruitment results were announced.
Obviously, they came here to watch the show and wanted to know who would win the job battle between Zhang Mingyu and Hu Bing.
It would be even better if they both failed the exam because of the trouble they caused. Maybe those who were ranked behind them would also have a chance!
At worst, you can enjoy the fun, so why not?
The two struggled through the crowd and reached the center. Zhang Laidi immediately saw Zhang Mingyu being guarded by two guards and shouted, "Son, how are you? Did they not torture you?!"
After saying that, he pounced on him.
She checked Zhang Mingyu's whole body and was relieved when she found no wounds.
Zhang Mingyu ignored his mother and said defiantly, "You guys are being unfair. I have the same score as Hu Bing, so why did you admit him and not me?!"
He was not afraid even when his hands were handcuffed behind his back. When his mother came, he even started to resist the security guard.
Some people in the crowd who were just enjoying the show also joined in the discussion.
A man who looked like a leader nearby advised, "Young man, I've already explained to you that Hu Bing is more hands-on. As you can tell from the name of the gas compression operator position, operation is the most important thing!"
The leader is feeling miserable, so why does he have to clean up the mess?
Zhang Mingyu persisted, saying, "You're cheating! You're falsifying information! Our total scores are exactly the same, so we should both be admitted!"
He worked so hard for this exam, he would just accept it if he didn't pass, but he was tied for 40th place, why did he fail?
How did Hu Bing get admitted over him? This must be a shady operation, someone is playing dirty!
