326 Sister, how old are you? Can you be more mature?
Zhou Weining is still as lively as she has been for ten years.
Su Taotao turned around and said to Fu Zhengtu who was jogging over, "It's okay, go back to work."
Fu Zhengtu looked at Zhou Weining and said, "Don't be so reckless next time."
Zhou Weining shrank his neck, trying to reduce his presence.
Su Taotao hung half of her body lazily on the car window: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Can I come to work in your factory?" Zhou Weining said.
Su Taotao: "Your job is so good, what can you do in my factory?"
Zhou Weining said, "I can do anything. Your new factory is so big, you must need clerks, right? My handwriting and writing are both good, don't underestimate me."
The position Zhou Weining most wanted to take was a teacher in the red-education class, but both her grandfather and her brother were strongly opposed, saying that they could not let her harm the country's young people and mislead the young people.
After several unsuccessful protests, he had no choice but to settle for a clerical job in a factory.
"Listen to my advice, you are more suitable to work here than in the factory."
Zhou Weining looks like a little girl who is well protected by her family. In the future, most state-owned factories will face transformation or decline.
How many people study hard for more than ten years just to pass the civil service exam and get a job. Zhou Weining was born in Rome, and I don't know how many people are envious of him.
Su Taotao always felt that if she quit such a good job and went to work in a state-owned factory now, she might regret it later.
Zhou Weining shook his head and said, "I don't want to spend my old age in the mountains anymore!"
Su Taotao: “…”
Zhou Weining continued, "It was my grandfather who insisted that I come here to work. Look at this place. When there are no test flights, it's so quiet that you can hear birds pooping.
It's not fun to face a bunch of boring grandpas every day, no entertainment, no gossip to listen to, it's not fun at all.
I am still so young, I don’t want to get old, I like the hustle and bustle, I like listening to people chatting, I like crowded places, and it’s good to hear children making noises!
Director Su, Comrade Su, Sister Su, I beg you, please give me a chance to transfer to another position. I promise not to bother the little kids or bother Chen Chen!"
Zhou Weining clasped his hands together and made a pitiful expression that said "please, please".
Su Taotao looked at Zhou Weining in front of her. She was a rare, truly lively girl in this era.
What is honey to one may be poison to another. Perhaps what Su Taotao thinks is a good choice for Zhou Weining may not be a good choice for herself.
"If you want to work in the factory, you can. There will be an open recruitment next week."
Su Taotao handed her a flyer and a form: "Take a look at the positions listed above and see which one you are qualified for. Fill out a recruitment form and hand it in. We will arrange a unified interview time and we will select the best candidates."
Zhou Weining was stunned as he took the form from Su Taotao: "I, do I still need to fill out the form? Do I still need to participate in the open recruitment? Can't I just use a backdoor and change jobs directly?"
Su Taotao looked at her, not knowing whether to laugh or not: "What do you think?"
Zhou Weining accepted the form resignedly: "Okay, I get it. I'm no worse than anyone else. I will definitely do well!"
Su Taotao smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to your performance. By the way, remember to greet your family members so that they don't come to me one by one to cause trouble."
Zhou Weining nodded: "Don't worry, as long as I don't become a teacher and tease the kids, they won't object."
Su Taotao recalled the last time she made friends out of nothing, and this time she finally had self-awareness.
Su Taotao nodded: "Yes, the job of teacher is indeed not suitable for you. In fact, there are many open positions in the union. If you are good at drawing, it would be nice to be a propagandist, put up blackboards, and help everyone eliminate illiteracy."
Zhou Weining's eyes lit up: "I can draw, this position sounds suitable for me."
Su Taotao: "There are many other positions. The job responsibilities are clearly written. You can study them yourself and find a position that can bring out your strengths and is most suitable for you."
Zhou Weining nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will!"
Zhou Weining suddenly caught sight of Chen Chen sleeping soundly. He quickly covered his mouth and stomped his feet a few times, "Oh my god, the little fairy boy is so cute even when he is asleep!"
Su Taotao: “…”
How old are you, sister? Can you grow up a little?
This girl really loses her composure every time she sees Chen Chen.
Su Taotao started the car: "I'm leaving now, you should think it over carefully."
"Wait a minute..." Zhou Weining reached into his pocket and rummaged around for a while. Finally, he took out a piece of chocolate and put it next to Chen Chen's persimmon cake. He also touched Chen Chen's little hand.
She said with satisfaction: "Remember to tell the little fairy boy, oh no, it's Dust Dust Baby, it was given to him by Aunt Ningning."
She couldn't bear to eat it, but she was willing to give it to the little fairy boy!
Su Taotao thought this girl was really cute and a good match for Mo Jiazhe.
I don’t know whether Mo Jiazhe succeeded in catching her.
She nodded and said, "Thank you Aunt Ningning on behalf of Chenchen. I'm leaving now."
Su Taotao drove away, but I saw her waving at the car in the rearview mirror.
Well, this "deep mountains and old forests" has indeed "torn" such a lively girl. She should be happier in a factory where there are many people and it's lively. She can also be closer to Mo Jiazhe.
When we got back to the factory, the car had just stopped when Chenchen woke up and looked outside, rubbing his eyes.
Su Taotao unbuckled his seat belt and carried him down: "Chenchen is awake? Are you going to school or playing in the factory?"
Chen Chen yawned in a daze.
Dong Shengping opened the door and Baibai rushed in, swaying his head and circling around Su Taotao's feet.
"In vain~~"
Su Taotao put the child down, Chenchen squatted down and started to stroke Baibai.
"Mom, I'm playing with Baibai~~"
Su Taotao nodded and said, "Then go in and play with Baibai."
It's better to stay in the factory, so that Fu Zhengtu won't come to pick up Fu Yuanhang later, and Chen Chen will be sad again if he sees them.
Su Taotao put a persimmon cake and a chocolate in Chen Chen's small pocket.
"The chocolate was given to you by Aunt Ningning. Mom has already said thank you for you. You can eat it when you are hungry later, but you can't let Bai Bai touch it. Not even a single bite. You will get sick if you eat it."
Chen Chen nodded: "It's nice, but who is Aunt Ningning~~"
Su Taotao: "..." Zhou Weining felt sad when he heard it.
"She's Uncle Zhou's sister. You've met her many times."
"Ah~~" Chen Chen didn't know Zhou Weining's name, but he knew she was Zhou Zheng's sister, "That lesbian is not very smart, it turns out she is Aunt Ningning~~"
Su Taotao: “…” Forget it. Every time Zhou Weining sees Chen Chen, he always looks a bit stupid. I’m too lazy to correct him.
The current doorman is no longer Dong Shengping, but another retired soldier named Xiao Chen.
Dong Shengping was trained as a member of the leadership team and now starts to supervise production in the workshop.
He is careful and rigorous in his work, and everyone respects him. Su Taotao is also relieved to have him watching over the production workshop.
"Xiao Chen, please keep an eye on the dust. Call me if you have any questions."
Xiao Chen nodded: "Okay, Director Su. By the way, Director Su, someone from City G just called you. His last name is also Su. He said that when you come back, you should call him back. Here is the number."
Su Taotao took the number paper. They were from G city and their surname was Su. They should be the family of "Su Taotao".
It's really interesting. She has been here for more than half a year and everything has been calm. But as soon as Zhang Jingan came, he unlocked so many new NPCs.
Well, what is coming cannot be avoided. It is time to formally meet my family and that legendary childhood sweetheart.
Don't be such an old-fashioned person
Su Taotao returned to the office and was busy for more than an hour.
When she looked at her watch, it was almost four o'clock.
Fu Zhengtu and Fu Yuanhang should have set out a long time ago.
She stretched herself and saw the phone number Xiao Chen gave her out of the corner of her eye.
Su Taotao took a breath and called back.
It was the phone number of some factory. Su Taotao didn't know who to contact, so she could only say "Looking for someone with the surname Su".
As a result, when the other party heard it, they called the person over.
——"It's me, little sister."
Su Taotao tried hard to recall her memory. It seemed that the original owner didn't have an older brother, so calling her "little sister"...
"Who are you?" Su Taotao threw the jar into confusion.
——"I am your cousin, Su Zhaotang. I didn't believe your aunt when she said you forgot your origins. I finally got your phone number, but you even forgot your brother."
Su Zhaotang...
Su Taotao couldn't remember this person at all. He was not mentioned much in the original book, and it seemed that he had no connection with the original owner.
The only impression I had was that he seemed to be several years older than her and was very familiar with her childhood friend Xu Jiadong and the others.
By the way, I should be very familiar with Zhang Jingan as well. They should be classmates in the same grade.
"Oh, hello, what's going on?" Su Taotao asked.
——"Hey, people who become factory managers are different. Hello, this is what I mean. I want to ask if your factory is still hiring?"
Su Taotao evaded the question and asked, "Aren't you in the factory now?"
——"It wasn't me, then who? Didn't Jiadong come back? I asked for him. I didn't intend to trouble you with this matter. It was Brother Jing'an who said that he couldn't make the decision and you, as the factory director, had the final say, so I came to ask you.
You and Jiadong had such a good life in the past. If you hadn't been unable to endure the hardship in the countryside and insisted on marrying that guy, your two children would have become adults.
You don’t know, Jiadong knows that you are married, and the whole person…”
"Have you finished?" Su Taotao interrupted him, "Whose brother are you? What's the meaning of your call? You know that I'm married and have a husband and children, but you keep talking about my home and how we used to be together. Do you want to kill me?"
There were two "hehe" sounds from the other end of the phone: "No, that's right, the guy has money but no job, so I was thinking..."
"You just think you get paid by others, I provide them with jobs, and you let them hang around me to annoy me and my husband, right?
I used to have a hard time without seeing you help me at all, but now that my life is a little smoother, you are here to trouble me, right?
I can't afford a brother like you, so don't call me anymore, that's it."
After Su Taotao finished speaking, she hung up the phone without caring about the other party's reaction.
It is really unacceptable to write in this era, as suddenly a top-notch relative appears in someone's family.
You call me your brother, bah!
Su Zhaotang on the other end of the phone was stunned by the scolding, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "My little cousin who used to be scared to death when she saw a cockroach has become so powerful?"
He hasn't finished speaking yet. Is he one of those greedy people? Xu Jiadong offered 1,000 yuan in exchange for his job, and he never thought of keeping it all for himself. At most, he would give him a hundred or so yuan as a lead fee. Why didn't he let him finish his words?
Su Zhaotang sighed: "Being a factory manager is a big deal. No wonder he never comes back to visit his uncle and aunt. Forget it. I don't have the ability to earn this money."
…
After Su Taotao hung up the phone, she became angrier and angrier, so she called the new factory directly.
Lao Gao answered the phone.
She asked Lao Gao to help find Zhang Jing'an and ask him to call her back as soon as possible.
About ten minutes later, the call came back.
Before Su Taotao could say anything, Zhang Jingan spoke up like a fortune teller:
——"Did Su Zhaotang contact you? I didn't agree, so I had no choice but to give him your phone number."
Su Taotao: “…”
——"Don't worry, I know the factory's recruitment principles very well. I was just thinking about you and Xu Jiadong..."
"Zhang Jingan, I'm telling you this for the last time," Su Taotao interrupted him, "I don't know what you guys mean by talking about Xu Jiadong in front of me again and again.
From the moment I decided to marry Fu Zhengtu, Xu Jiadong and I had nothing to do with each other.
I love my husband very much, my marriage is happy, and my life is good. If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that there is a person named Xu Jiadong. So, please don't mention this person in front of me in the future."
Zhang Jing'an was silent for a long time.
He could not connect the person on the other end of the phone with the fickle woman in his previous life who had abandoned her husband and children for Xu Jiadong and came to him to flirt with him.
They are two completely different personalities.
After living a second life, other people's personalities are actually not much different, why is Su Taotao's temperament so different?
She loved her husband very much and was very satisfied with her life, so why did she abandon her husband and children and return to the city to marry Xu Jiadong in her last life?
If she loved Xu Jiadong very much, why did she do such an inappropriate thing towards him after marrying him?
The time point when he had his memory reborn seemed to be exactly when Su Taotao decided to get married in the countryside.
He was recuperating at home due to his injury, and the Su family was so upset by her immature decision that they even wanted to cut off all ties with her.
I haven't contacted her for a long time.
In fact, if they had held on for a while longer, the Su family would have been able to get her back to the city, but she still insisted on marrying that man.
What kind of man makes her so obsessed?
"Zhang Jingan?"
——"Sorry, I understand. I promise there won't be a next time."
Now that things had come to this, Su Taotao didn't know what to say.
After hanging up the phone with Zhang Jingan, Su Taotao fell into deep thought.
The real boss hasn't shown up yet, but these unimportant people have come one by one to take the lead for him.
Although it doesn't affect her at all, it's still annoying.
She always takes Chenchen back to visit her grandparents.
By then, he might even run up to Fu Zhengtu to show his presence.
I feel like this plot is impossible to skip.
Although Fu Zhengtu wouldn't care, and she had explained everything to him long ago, the same words still made her feel uncomfortable.
"Mom~~" The little kid poked his head in.
Su Taotao stood up and walked over: "What's wrong, Chenchen?"
Chenchen handed the half chocolate hidden in his palm to Su Taotao: "Mom, eat the chocolate, enjoy it~~"
Su Taotao's heart was warm and soft: "If mommy doesn't want to eat it, Chenchen can eat it by yourself. If Chenchen likes it, mommy will buy it for you next time."
Su Taotao helped him open the packaging paper and put it to his lips.
The child took the food from his mother's hand and ate it in one bite, squinting his eyes with great happiness.
"Chenchen, what do you want to eat tonight? Let's go buy groceries with mom later."
Chenchen tilted his head and thought for a while: "Mianmian~~"
"Okay, I'll see what seafood is available in the market and we'll make seafood noodle soup."
Chen Chen nodded: "Yeah~~"
There was a knock on the door. Su Taotao said, "Come in."
The new assistant came in and said, "Director Su, there is a problem with this order. I have urged them many times for the balance, but they just won't pay. They want you to communicate with them in person."
Su Taotao took it and said, "Don't they always ship after full payment is received?"
The assistant nodded: "Yes, this is from three months ago. It was from a brother unit in the capital. I think they are deliberately making things difficult for us.
Su Taotao looked at it and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it. You can go out first."
"Mom will go home after she finishes dealing with this matter." Su Taotao said to Chen Chen.
Chenchen took out the building blocks from his schoolbag and said, "Let me play with this~~"
Su Taotao touched his little head and said, "Go ahead."
Su Taotao dialed the contact number on the order and the call was quickly answered.
——"Hey, our Director Su is really a busy man. It's really not easy to talk to you."
Su Taotao searched her mind for a long time but couldn't find any information about this person.
She looked at the contact's name: Wei Hai.
It should be an order that Xiaolu received from a sister unit.
"Hello, Director Wei. It's really not easy to talk to me. There are people on this side who have no sense of contract. Director Wei is a rare guest."
If you mention a gun or a stick, the other party will not get angry, but will laugh out loud:
——"Director Su is indeed a wonderful person. Let me be frank. I want to discuss a business deal with you, but I don't know if Director Su has the courage to take my order."
Su Taotao said: "I don't do business with people who don't have a contract spirit. Director Wei should just remit my payment first, and then everything will be fine."
——"Director Su is really not afraid of offending me. Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged. I have an export order that is ten times larger than this one. Is Director Su interested?"
Su Taotao: "It doesn't matter what the order is, as long as it's business, I'm interested."
——"That's great. I don't care how you do it. I'll just be a middleman and take a 10% commission."
Su Taotao was stunned for a moment, thinking she had dialed the wrong number. This was the first time she had encountered someone who was so blatantly asking for kickbacks in all the time she had been here.
And on a public phone, he acted so righteously and as if it was a matter of course.
Director Wei is also a talented person.
"Director Wei, please return my balance first. As for your proposal, I will consider it carefully."
Before getting the balance back, Su Taotao didn't need to offend anyone completely. She could still ask for money from their company later, but it would be too troublesome.
Unfortunately, there was no telephone recording in those days, so even if she wanted to report it, she had no evidence.
Director Wei thought Su Taotao agreed to his proposal, so he readily agreed to let her transfer the balance.
——"I'll fax you Mr. Birmingham's order later."
After hanging up the phone with Wei Hai, Su Taotao fell silent for a long time.
If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. She is still a small workshop now, and orders are in short supply. She has the initiative, and when the new factory is put into production and the production capacity is increased, she will face a larger and more complex market and interpersonal relationships.
Wei Hai is the first experienced veteran like him, but he will definitely not be the last.
Including their own factories, they will also face challenges.
To balance this market and eliminate such unhealthy practices is a long and arduous task.
Now she began to pray that the secretary who represented the party and discipline inspection would not be such a shrewd old fox.
You must unite with her, otherwise, she will have a lot of headaches.
