Chapter 123 Job Positions
Shi Luo took out a handful of White Rabbit candies from his pocket, about four or five pieces, and placed them on Uncle Qian's desk. "Hey, Uncle Qian, there's no one else here, so don't keep me in suspense. Come and have some candy to sweeten your mouth. If you have any good news, please tell me right away. My letter of introduction will expire in three or five days. If you have the chance to stay here, that would be great."
Uncle Qian peeled off a piece of White Rabbit candy and put it in his mouth, rolling his eyes. "You are the kind of person who won't give up until you see the rabbit. If I hadn't told you that there was something good, you wouldn't have given me the candy."
Shi Luo said pitifully, "Uncle, others may not know, but you do. Ever since my grandpa passed away, I have been working in the countryside. I have no source of income. Yes, my grandpa left me some savings, and I also earned some money from selling my work, but in the end, I still have nothing left.
You can earn work points in the countryside to exchange for food, but you see, I am the only one who can earn enough work points to exchange for food. Every time food is distributed, I have to pay money to make up for the points I earn, and my savings are getting smaller and smaller.
Besides, there are no tickets in the village. This candy was bought with the few national sugar tickets my grandfather left for me. I used them so sparingly that I have already spent the last one. I don’t know when I will be able to buy more candy in the future. If I don’t use them more sparingly, how will I live in the future?
Uncle Qian claimed to know something about Shi Luo's situation. When Old Man Shi was alive, the two of them lived a life of good food and drink every day, but when it came to saving money, they really couldn't save much. The bulk of Shi Luo's money was probably the compensation from the factory and the money he got from selling his job.
As for Shi Luo saying that he couldn't do farm work in the countryside, Uncle Qian believed it. After all, Old Shi only had this one grandson, and all the good things were given to him. He was spoiled. When he worked as a temporary worker in the factory, he did the work of serving food in the cafeteria. It can be said that when Old Shi was around, Shi Luo had never suffered any hardship.
Thinking of this, Uncle Qian sighed, "Alas, it's really not easy for you to be alone. It's normal for you to be calculating in your life now. After all, who doesn't calculate in their life? Okay, let me tell you something serious."
After saying this, Uncle Qian looked out the window and saw that no one was coming to his guard room. He then lowered his voice and said, "Our factory is going to open a branch in a city in Hebei Province soon. The director has already been decided. The city party secretary directly appointed one of our deputy directors to be the director of the branch.
This deputy factory director is going to open a new factory, and he must bring a group of people with him, about twenty or so. These people can be said to be his confidants, and they will become the backbone of the new factory after they go there. Our factory director and the city leaders all agree on this.
The factory over there is about to be completed, and the deputy director has started talking to the people he wants to bring over one by one. Because this is a big deal, and he is afraid that people in the factory will be uneasy, the leaders above are putting more pressure on him.
Apart from the top leaders, the accounting department, and those outside the factory who were interviewed, few people knew about this.
In the past few days, everything that needed to be discussed has been discussed. One of the conditions they discussed is that those who go to work in the new factory will still have their own workstations here. In other words, those who decide to go to the new factory can dispose of their workstations here by themselves.
So some families have suitable successors, so they take over the business themselves. Some families do not have suitable successors, so they plan to sell the business.
I estimate that the news will be out in a day or two, because they have to go to the new factory to handle the paperwork and pack their luggage, and by then it will be impossible to hide it.
Although selling jobs cannot be said openly, it is a job. You know, there are many young people in our city who have no jobs and have to go to the countryside.
If rumors do get out, I think there will be a lot of people who want to buy a job but can’t find one.”
Shi Luo blinked when he heard this. In fact, the college entrance examination would be resumed in less than two years. By then, he and Jiang Hao would be able to pass the college entrance examination and return to the city.
But if I have the chance to go back to the city early, why not? Although I usually just cut grass for pigs in the Red Star Brigade, it is not the time to go back during the busy farming season.
Although he could be lazy at that time, he had to do what he had to do. During the busy farming season of the past three years, Shi Luo was severely sunburned from working under the scorching sun. It took him a whole winter to restore his skin, so the sooner he could return to the city, the better.
"Uncle Qian, what does this have to do with me? Like you said, there are so many things that local people can't buy with money. I'm afraid it's even more impossible for me, an educated youth who went to the countryside, to buy anything. Even if it's a good thing, it has nothing to do with me."
Uncle Qian rolled his eyes at Shi Luo in anger. "I was saying that based on the fact that the news had already spread. Now, not many people know about it. If you had done it in advance, you wouldn't have to fight with others."
Shi Luo scratched his head and muttered softly, but in fact his voice was not quiet at all. "Then I don't know the people going to the new factory, so how can I buy it in advance?"
Uncle Qian: "..., don't do this to me, you kid, I know what you mean, I told you this, and I can help you contact people,
From what I heard, among the people who are going to the new factory, only three can sell their jobs, and the others are taken over by their family members. These three people have different positions, but they are all office jobs, and they are not hard work. If you think about it, if you decide to do it, I will help you contact people and make arrangements.
Oh, by the way, these workstations are definitely not cheap, so you better prepare the money, or I’ll make the arrangements and you’ll let me down.”
Shi Luo smiled flatteringly, "No, I definitely can't let you down. By the way, uncle, the deputy director who is going to be the director of the branch factory you mentioned is my uncle Yan, your son-in-law, right?"
