Chapter 163 It's easy to say
This was exactly what An Zhixia had thought. She took the opportunity to whisper, "Brother, our country is developing better and better. Talents will be needed in all walks of life in the future. Otherwise, we can't let college graduates get high salaries as soon as they become full-time employees. This is a manifestation of the attention paid to talents by the higher-ups.
Nowadays, college students are recommended to attend the Workers and Peasants University. Some of them only have a junior high school diploma. Even if they are nurtured in college for a few years, those who are supposed to be stupid will not be smart. Sooner or later, the college entrance examination will be open, and all students will have the opportunity to become successful.
Brother, the darkness before dawn is especially difficult to endure. As long as we hold on to hope, don’t give up, don’t retreat, and stay prepared at all times, then when the light comes, we will be able to seize the opportunity at the first opportunity.”
An Zhiqiu nodded repeatedly, "You are right. The imperial examination has been going on for thousands of years. Although everyone has mixed opinions about it, it is indeed an important way to select talents. The same is true for the college entrance examination. Without a sufficient cultural foundation and strong learning ability, only a few people can stand out.
No, we have to hurry up and pick up our high school textbooks. It’s been almost seven years since 1966, and we don’t know when we can resume using them.”
"When my sister-in-law comes, let her study with me. It would be best if she goes to high school and gets a diploma first," An Zhixia responded.
The two of them were looking forward to the future while eating the New Year's Eve dinner. It was very quiet outside, with only the occasional barking of dogs. The noise of the day returned to the night at this moment, but the New Year atmosphere bloomed in their hearts, rich with happiness, satisfaction and endless emotion.
After dinner, An Zhiqiu cleaned up the dishes again. When they were done, they went back to the warm room. An Zhiqiu took out the letter paper again and began to write a letter to his newlywed wife.
An Zhixia said sourly: "Brother, didn't you just write a letter the night before yesterday?"
"You're such a jealous girl," An Zhiqiu tapped her forehead with his pen and said with a smile, "I received Hongye's letter in the store this afternoon."
"What?" An Zhixia asked, "Is the mail delivery so fast now? We have only been in Kyoto for a week, and my sister-in-law's letter has already been delivered?"
An Zhiqiu smiled very gently, his whole body filled with joy and warmth, a feeling different from family affection, which could melt the ice, dilute the years, and knead out deep affection, "This should be the letter your sister-in-law sent when we were still here. Little Silly Ni, when you get married, you will know how it feels to miss someone."
An Zhixia glared at him. Although he was biologically her original brother and she was addicted to treating him as a sister, she was actually a younger sister who was ten years older than him!
Being called a silly girl is so embarrassing...
State-owned restaurants can open for business as long as they have ingredients, but the Dongfeng Shili Supply and Marketing Cooperative has to wait for restocking, so after the brother and sister said Happy New Year, they gave each other a big red envelope, one went to work, and the other rode his bike around Dongcheng District to provide door-to-door training.
In order to make herself more convincing, she deliberately put on light makeup, wore a Zhongshan suit, tied her hair neatly, stepped on low-heeled leather shoes, held a briefcase in her hand, and wore round-framed silver-rimmed glasses, giving her the look of a headmaster.
She arrived at the nearest supply and marketing cooperative on time. Although it was scheduled to open at 8 o'clock, it actually did not open until after 9 o'clock. By the time she wiped the tables, swept the floor, poured tea and sat on the chair behind the counter, it was already past ten o'clock.
So when the door of Nanhua Supply and Marketing Cooperative was opened by a yawning salesman, he saw An Zhixia with a stern face and an aura, and he couldn't close his mouth. When he was about to drool, the man said, "What are you doing? Are you acting like a door god so early in the morning? You came here at noon to buy things, and the place hasn't even been cleaned yet."
An Zhixia raised her eyebrows: "Now the door god can't even be hung on the door, but it can be spit out from your mouth?"
The salesperson immediately shut up and looked at her fiercely: "Don't make trouble for no reason, I just said it casually. Okay, hurry up and buy whatever you want!" After that, she turned and walked towards the counter.
The Nanhua Supply and Marketing Cooperative not only radiates the Nanhua Siheyuan area, but is also very close to the compound. Naturally, the customers who come and go are either rich or noble. Although it is a bit exaggerated, the turnover of this supply and marketing cooperative has always been among the top three in the entire Dongcheng District. The welfare benefits of the salesperson are almost comparable to those of the Dongcheng District headquarters. A salesperson with such an arrogant attitude here must be from a prominent family.
An Zhixia was not afraid of this at all. She walked in slowly and looked around with her beautiful eyes.
Nanhua Supply and Marketing Cooperative is half the size of Dongfeng Shili Supply and Marketing Cooperative. The shelves and cabinets inside are painted with a uniform, shiny red-brown paint. The goods are neatly arranged, and the styles and quantities are unmatched by Dongfeng Shili.
The salesmen were even more arrogant.
She clapped her hands vigorously, drawing everyone's attention, and asked in a cold voice, "Did your director tell you that the headquarters will send someone to train you in the next few days?"
Everyone looked at each other and nodded lazily: "Director Ji said, isn't it just smiling and saying a few nice words to others? What's the point of training?"
"We're not selling smiles. If we smile more, will customers pay more? Tsk, I've been working here for seven or eight years, and I've never heard of such a good thing. Besides, we're not as pretty as you, young comrade, and people may not be willing to look at us."
"Of course they do. When people come in, they go straight to buy things. No matter how much we smile and talk, they will buy what they should buy and not buy what they shouldn't buy. So why should we waste our time trying to please them? We are salespeople, we earn a living from the country, we are not inferior to others, why should we stoop to flatter them?"
Everyone spoke at once.
An Zhixia stared at them coldly, and everyone's hair stood up instantly, and their mouths shut. "You're done? Then it's my turn to speak. The country pays you wages, but where does the country's money come from? Isn't it from the farmers who work hard to pay public grain, the workers who work non-stop in the factories that are cold in winter and hot in summer to pay taxes, and the profits from the products you sell?
Since you are willing to sacrifice your reputation for this job, you should serve the people well. They are your real breadwinners! Besides, don’t you get bonuses every month? Don’t you have to work hard for the bonuses? "
"You make it sound so easy, it's easy to talk while standing. Why would I work so hard just to make a few dollars?" A young salesperson said in a low voice with her lips curled. Her voice was shrill, and it happened to be when An Zhixia had just finished speaking and no one else had spoken.
Everyone looked over, and the little girl blushed, "I didn't say anything wrong, why are you all looking at me!"
"Well, I'll give you a demonstration today to show you how much bonus I can get," she said as she took off her Zhongshan-style tweed coat and put on the work clothes in her bag.
