She went straight to the workbench, showed her letter of introduction and her father's martyr certificate, and only then did they point her in the direction.
Zhang Xingrong found the archived records and explained his purpose: "Hello, comrade. Five years ago, my father died for our country. The military district compensated my family and found a job. Now I'm a village head and need a work permit. Can I check the records?"
The staff member opposite was a woman in her thirties. She seemed to understand Zhang Xingrong's words, but when she saw the evidence Zhang Xingrong listed, she didn't doubt it. Instead, she pointed to the seat next to her and said impatiently, "Wait a minute, I still have a lot of files to process."
Zhang Xingrong nodded and turned to walk the other way. This is how all those with stable jobs work these days.
She walked straight to a young man next to her and said, "Hello, comrade, five years ago..."
The young man wearing glasses was busy. He raised his head impatiently and saw that there was a girl opposite him, a very beautiful girl. He was stunned.
At that time, Zhang Xingrong wore a patchwork homespun dress and a long braid, looking very plain indeed. But she was beautiful. Her face was three-dimensional, her features delicate, and she possessed that kind of charming yet heroic beauty that was stunning at first glance.
The young man with glasses was so amazed.
"Comrade?" Zhang Xingrong called out when no one responded.
"Oh!" The young man finally reacted, stuttering a little, his face flushed, "You... you... what's wrong?"
Zhang Xingrong was about to repeat what she said, but the aunt next to her was not happy.
"Didn't I tell you to wait a moment? You keep asking questions one after another, and you're disturbing our work!"
Zhang Xingrong glanced at her and retorted, "Auntie, what's wrong with me looking for someone else while you're busy? I came here with my credentials to ask for your help, and you helped me retrieve the files. This should be within your job scope, right? Why do you say I'm disturbing your work? Or do you think I, a member of the people, am unworthy of coming to you? What's going on? Do you want to pursue capitalism or feudalism? Are you being dictatorial?"
“You…” The auntie’s face flushed with anger, but she didn’t dare to admit what she had said. “You…what nonsense are you talking about? Capitalism, feudalism, who said I won’t investigate you?”
She keeps talking about this stuff. Is she crazy? And she's talking about being arbitrary. How could this little girl, who looks like she's never been to school, say such things?
"That's fine." Zhang Xingrong didn't bother to pay attention to her. She turned to look at the young man with glasses and immediately smiled kindly. "Comrade, this is my letter of introduction and my father's martyr badge. It's like this..."
The young man looked at the kind girl in front of him. She was completely different from the one who had spoken harshly just now. He was a little stunned. She looked pretty when she was angry just now, and she looked pretty like this now too.
"Comrade, can you help me retrieve the files?"
"Oh, sure!" The young man blushed and nodded hurriedly, "You...you wait in that room for a while, I'll go look for it."
Zhang Xingrong was full of gratitude, which made the young man feel dizzy and blush, and he quickly went to work.
It was not easy to find him. Zhang Xingrong waited until noon before the young man came back. She even pretended to go out for a while and came back with food a short while later.
"Found it, found it!" The young man came back with great difficulty.
