The first thing you recognize is Fengjie's hearty voice, full of energy. It is obvious that life has not dampened her optimism in the slightest.
The door opened, and Chen Hong's face, brimming with a healthy blush, came into view. Xu Qinghe responded with a brilliant smile. When Fengjie saw that it was her, she was so surprised that she couldn't express it in words, and hurriedly welcomed her friend into the house.
Xu Qinghe's gaze slowly wandered around the courtyard. Although the space here was not spacious and the house was a little old, every inch of land was cleaned spotlessly, which was enough to prove Fengjie's love for life and hard work.
"Little sister, how did you find this place?"
As Sister Feng asked, she looked at Xu Qinghe with eyes full of concern.
"I went to the Zhao family to inquire about you, and luckily the aunt next door told me. I was always a little worried, so I came to see you. Seeing your mental state, I am really relieved for you!"
Xu Qinghe sat down on the straw mat as he spoke, looking relaxed and comfortable.
Feng Jie was busy pouring water for the guests while chattering about her recent situation. "How could it not be good? I'm all alone now. Although this house is a little old, I don't have to worry about all those worries. I don't have to worry about that family anymore. I even took a long vacation from the supply and marketing cooperative. This is a good opportunity to rest and adjust. Life like this is so comfortable."
During the conversation, Fengjie did not forget to take out the cakes and fresh fruits she had carefully selected from the old cabinet and enthusiastically placed them in front of Xu Qinghe.
Now that she has a stable income and a job in the supply and marketing cooperative, shopping is convenient and economical, and her home is never short of delicious food.
The last time Xu Qinghe visited the Zhao family, Fengjie was unable to show these because the cabinet was locked by her ex-mother-in-law and the key was not in her hands.
Xu Qinghe didn't say anything polite. He picked up a piece of soft egg cake and tasted it carefully. Then he asked Fengjie about her future plans with some curiosity.
"Sister Feng, are you planning to keep putting it off like this? Won't there be any problems at the supply and marketing cooperative if you don't go to work for a long time?"
In this era of scarce job opportunities, after Fengjie's divorce, that job was almost her only source of income.
"What else can we do if we don't delay? That vixen is going to give birth next month. I want to see how they can register the child and make the illegitimate child legitimate if they don't divorce!"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Sister Feng's tone.
"Little sister, I followed your advice and announced to the public that the vixen was pregnant with a boy. Now her whole family is worried about the household registration of that illegitimate child!"
"I guess that heartless man will come to me to discuss divorce without waiting until next month."
At this point, Sister Feng curled her lips into a cold smile and continued, "Little sister, you may not know how outrageous that family was. They actually asked me to give up my job at the supply and marketing cooperative to that woman after she gave birth to the child, before they would agree to a divorce. When I heard that, I was furious and told them straight out that I would rather resign than give up my job to that vixen!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe was so surprised that he could hardly speak. How could there be such a shameless person in the world who could make such an absurd request without batting an eyelid?
"Sister Feng, do the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative know about this? Will it have any adverse effects on your work there?"
Xu Qinghe was quite worried. Fengjie's position in the supply and marketing cooperative was crucial to her. Once Fengjie left, she would have to find a new partner, which would undoubtedly add a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Oh, don't worry, relax little sister!"
Sister Feng waved her hand, looking confident, a smile on her face. "I've already reported this to my superiors. We at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative have no regard for people without integrity, and we absolutely cannot let them tarnish our reputation! Besides, I've been at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative for so many years, with outstanding performance and excellent relationships with my superiors and subordinates. Those little devils are still too young to replace me!"
Between the lines of these words, a dense interpersonal network seems to be woven. The turns and pauses of each sentence reveal the subtle ways of maintaining active interpersonal relationships, which makes people sigh at the depth and wisdom contained therein.
Xu Qinghe's admiration for Fengjie is like a flower quietly blooming in spring, warm and firm.
In this era, job changes are as common as the changing of seasons, and leaders often take a tacit attitude. However, Feng Jie can skillfully touch the heartstrings under this calm surface, making both superiors and colleagues unconsciously gather around her. This ability undoubtedly demonstrates her extraordinary social skills and profound wisdom.
The heavy stone in Xu Qinghe's heart fell gently with Fengjie's promise. Her eyes sparkled with sincere joy, as if the warm winter sun warmed people's hearts. "This is the best, sister. You can rest assured first. When the trivial matters at home are sorted out, I have a small matter here, and I urgently need your help!"
Fengjie's response was swift and cheerful, like a spring breeze, refreshing and delightful: "Just let me know if you need anything. I'm free right now. As long as I can help, I will do my best!"
All these opportunities came from Xu Qinghe's encouragement and guidance. It was that power that gave Fengjie the courage to cut off the past and bravely embark on the road of divorce.
Although the future is still unclear, every day of independent life is like tasting nectar for the first time, allowing Fengjie to feel unprecedented freedom and sweetness. She has deeply engraved this kindness in her heart and vowed to remember it and give back.
Faced with Sister Feng's straightforwardness, Xu Qinghe stopped beating around the bush and directly mentioned her channels for obtaining high-quality fabrics from garment factories. "Sister, I'm thinking that I can't wear all the clothes made from all that fabric by myself, so I wanted to ask if there are any friends around you who are interested. You have a wide network of contacts, so the first thing that comes to my mind is to ask you to act as a bridge. Please rest assured, sister, I will never let you work in vain. For every piece of clothing I sell, I am willing to give you 50 cents as a reward. What do you think?"
Xu Qinghe has a bigger plan in mind; she plans to enter the ready-made clothing sales market.
Although she had established preliminary contact with Qian Ming, she knew very well that if she wanted to truly open up the market, she still needed Feng Jie's help. She should first sell a few pieces through Feng Jie's channels to create word of mouth and trend, and then sales to Qian Ming would naturally follow.
When Sister Feng heard this, her eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement, like the brightest stars in the night sky: "Oh, you are just as caring as my own sister! You are not asking me for help, you are clearly sending me the God of Wealth!"
