531: Return to the city quota
Yu Xiaoye told Bai Zongdan that he had been in a low mood for the past few days and that Deputy Director Lin’s wife had sent something to Bai Zongdan.
Zhou Ziheng was a little confused after hearing this:
"What's wrong with this? What's so strange?"
"Isn't this strange? I guess Lin Darong's mother must have come up with some dirty tricks to force Xiaobai to marry Lin Darong. Do you believe it?"
Zhou Ziheng frowned slightly:
"Who knows, maybe Bai Zongdan has changed his mind and is now willing to marry Lin Darong?"
"I think he was forced into it. If he really wanted to marry Lin Darong, he wouldn't have behaved like that."
At this point, the canteen chef came out and brought two large bowls of steaming hand-rolled noodles.
The two of them stopped talking immediately.
When the chef put the noodles on the table, Yu Xiaoye said with a smile:
"Thank you, Master."
The master chef smiled and said:
"You're welcome, eat as much as you can. Call me again if you're not full."
Another handyman brought in a plate of pickled radish.
After the people in the cafeteria left, Zhou Ziheng picked up his chopsticks and continued what he had just said:
"Will Bai Zongdan marry someone he doesn't like? If he doesn't like it, can the head of the forestry department and his wife force him to do it?"
Yu Xiaoye raised his eyelids and glanced at the person opposite him:
"Director, not everyone is as ruthless as you. You'd dare to make up any rumor just to reject someone you don't like. Xiaobai is a softie, and he's not that scheming. He definitely wouldn't think of rejecting Lin Darong by saying he's not good enough in that area. Who would do that to themselves?"
Zhou Ziheng picked up a piece of noodles with a chopstick, smiling:
"Stop talking and eat quickly, it will get cold soon."
Yu Xiaoye was not tempted by the delicious food in front of him and continued:
"Director, I think that mother and daughter are going too far."
"Why, are you trying to meddle in other people's business again?"
"How can I be considered nosy? I just can't stand the smug looks on the mother and daughter's faces. I just don't want them to be a couple."
Zhou Ziheng took a mouthful of the hot noodles, raised his head, and looked at the restless girl with a hint of worry:
"You want to cause trouble?"
"—You can understand it this way—that if I mess up or make a big fuss, you have to support me."
Zhou Ziheng smiled bitterly:
"Do you still need me to back you up? Everyone knows our relationship. At least on this farm, no one would dare to do anything to you without my intervention."
Yu Xiaoye: That’s true. It seems that it is really necessary for my husband to be successful!
Zhou Ziheng noticed that Yu Xiaoye's eyes were rolling around, and he didn't know what he was up to, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried:
"You can make a fuss, but don't make it too big, or I won't be able to handle it later."
Yu Xiaoye smiled evilly:
"I know your abilities. There's no mess you can't clean up."
Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but want to laugh. This girl is becoming more and more lawless!
"Okay, go ahead and make a scene. How do you want to make a scene?"
"I haven't come up with any good ideas yet."
"Then eat the noodles quickly. Only when you are full will you have the energy to think of more good ideas."
Only then did Yu Xiaoye pick up the chopsticks, pick up some dried radish from the plate and put it on the noodles, then picked up the noodles and dried radish and put them into his mouth.
As soon as he took a bite, the noodles seemed to work and an unexpected idea suddenly popped up in Yu Xiaoye's mind.
She quickly swallowed the noodles, her eyes shining as she said:
"Director, I suddenly thought of——"
"Let's talk after dinner."
Yu Xiaoye couldn't wait any longer:
"I don't actually need to make a scene, there are ways to forcibly separate those two!"
Zhou Ziheng became curious:
"What method?"
"Let Xiaobai return to the city."
"Returning to the city is not that easy. If anyone could return, then the more than 400,000 educated youth in the Great Northern Wilderness would probably all run away very quickly."
"I know it's difficult to return to the city, but don't you have a ready-made quota?"
Zhou Ziheng: “…”
Suddenly I understood which quota Yu Xiaoye was talking about!
He looked at Yu Xiaoye opposite him in surprise. He had never expected that this girl's brain would react so quickly and she could actually think of this!
Yu Xiaoye smiled slyly:
"I just hid outside the door and heard you talking to Brother Jia. Didn't you say that there were two quotas for the Construction Bureau? One of them was arranged for Brother Jia by his brother, right? Now that Brother Jia has refused, this quota can't be wasted. How about-"
"You want to give Jia Song's place to Bai Zongdan?"
"Yes, is that okay?"
Yu Xiaoye was familiar with this kind of behind-the-scenes "targeted recruitment". Generally, the leaders of a certain unit specially arranged recruitment quotas in order to recall their children who had gone to the countryside.
People from the unit came to the farm with recruitment quotas. On the surface, they were recruiting workers from outside, but in fact, each vacancy was not idle and had a corresponding name.
This phenomenon quietly emerged in the mid-1970s and reached its peak in the late 1970s.
Later, when the educated youth returned to the city in large numbers, this phenomenon completely disappeared.
It was now 1975, and this trend had just emerged, so recruitment quotas were extremely precious, and generally only people with powerful families could get them.
Since it is so precious, it cannot be wasted.
It doesn’t matter who you give it to, why not Xiaobai?
Give it to Xiaobai. As long as he leaves, won’t we be free from the Lin family’s entanglement?
Could the Lin family chase her all the way to the capital, tie her up and get her married?
You’re dreaming!
Yu Xiaoye's plan also surprised Zhou Ziheng who was sitting opposite him.
His girlfriend is really quick-witted!
What a loophole!
Even he didn't expect that he could do this.
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the best solution. Sending Xiaobai away in the name of recruiting workers can avoid a lot of trouble.
This also prevents this girl from really causing trouble with the Lin family.
The matter was resolved without bloodshed.
After a brief thought, Zhou Ziheng nodded:
"Can."
Yu Xiaoye didn't expect Zhou Ziheng to agree so readily. Seeing him nod, he was very happy:
"Thank you, Director!"
"Okay, you can eat now. It's getting cold."
"Um!"
Only then did Yu Xiaoye start eating in big mouthfuls.
This hand-rolled shredded pork noodle is made with lard and sesame oil, and a soft-boiled egg. It is especially delicious when paired with pickled radish.
Yu Xiaoye was in a good mood and had a good appetite, so he ate the whole bowl.
After dinner, the two separated and the matter was handed over to Zhou Ziheng.
Zhou Ziheng returned to his office and reviewed the Construction Bureau's recruitment process from beginning to end. He found nothing wrong with it.
The Construction Bureau gave two places, one was the daughter of the deputy director, and the other was Jia Song.
Now that Jia Song has refused, the vacant spot must either be given up or transferred to someone else.
Giving up is impossible, there is no reason to give up.
Then transfer this quota to Bai Zongdan and explain it to Jia Zan.
