"Okay, then you can do it like this..."
Okay, no problem. It's just empty promises, right? That's easy.
...
"Yes! Mianmian said she plans to set up another garment factory specifically to provide employment for the female comrades in our army. Moreover, once they become formal employees, they will be given the same treatment as state-owned enterprise employees."
I've heard that state-owned enterprise employees will soon be provided with pension insurance, which will solve their retirement problems. It's said to be no different from working now, with monthly salaries and no need to do any work.
However, my Mianmian also mentioned that although the number of job openings is limited, applicants need to take an exam and pass both a written test and an interview.
"Comrade Zhou, have you heard that a certain number of people are required to participate?"
"At least six people, but the more the better, and the best will be selected from among them."
"What are the benefits like?"
"The pay is 50 yuan a month, including room and board."
"so much"
"yes!"
"Okay, I'll talk to my daughter about it later?"
"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet. This time, we're only addressing employment issues for military family members."
Also, last time, anyone who failed the handicraft test was rejected.
"I see!"
"Yes! Think about it! If you can't even do something as simple as handicrafts well, how can you make clothes well? Mianmian and her classmate run a shop that exports clothes to foreigners. How could they make them shoddy?"
"That's true, it's not untrue."
"What's so great about it?"
"that is"
"It's nothing special. At least they can work there and get paid every month."
"you"
"snort"
"Besides this, another classmate of mine, Mianmian, is planning to open a clothing store specifically to sell clothes imported from Guangzhou. We also need people for that."
"I heard Mianmian can find suitable people, so I asked her to help me find a few."
"How many people do you need in this shop?"
"Currently, we only need five, but the conditions are all the same."
"Then when will I be able to take the exam?"
"The 1st of this month"
"That's good, that's good! By the way, Comrade Zhou, do you know what the exam will cover?"
"I really don't know, I don't give people questions."
That's true.
...
"Mianmian, your mom said you and Xiao Duan are going to open a clothing factory."
“That’s right, Dad. To be honest, the tailor shop that Duan Miao and I run together is getting quite busy. We’ve had to split up the production of many clothes. But this can’t be a long-term solution. It might work for a while, but it’s not a sustainable one.”
"How big of a factory do you want to set up? Dad can help you figure something out, and we can get it up and running right now."
"Dad, even if we do set it up, we need a factory site first. There's no rush. Even if it's built, it will take at least two or three years."
Furthermore, I don't plan to build a factory in Beijing; I want to go south, since I've heard that things are developing well there now.
You mean Guangzhou?
"yes"
"That's easy! Dad will get in touch with them for you. We'll build the factory first, and then hire workers. But will you be going to Guangzhou then?"
"No need. We can just find a suitable person to be the factory manager. There's no need for us to do everything ourselves."
"Furthermore, I've already planned it out. Even if I build my own factory now, I won't need it for the next two or three years. During that time, I can cooperate directly with others. That way, if anything happens, I can simply terminate the cooperation, and the loss won't be significant."
"This method is also good."
...
"Sister Mianmian, are you serious? Can they really approve a piece of land for us in Guangzhou?"
"That's right, I've already had Zhang Rui design the factory blueprints myself. I just need to arrange for someone to go there later."
"So, sister, who are you planning to send over?"
“I don’t have anyone here, but Zhang Rui recommended someone to me, his junior from school, who also studies architectural design. He plans to develop his career in Guangzhou, and he can help keep an eye on the factory.”
However, the current task is to find out who will be there to oversee production once the factory is built.
"That is indeed a problem. What do you think about having Sister Liu go?"
"Sister Liu? What's going on now!"
“Her husband is from near Guangzhou. A few days ago, when Sister Wang and Sister Zhang left, she was there saying that her husband was also facing a career change in the past two years. Judging from her tone, I was thinking that when I plan to go back to Guangzhou, I might be able to open a clothing store.”
"In that case, let's let her manage it for now! If it's suitable, we can give her some shares, that's not out of the question, but you can't tell her a single thing about it."
"Don't worry, sister! I know what I'm doing."
...
"Hey! Old Shen, what brings you here today?"
"It's okay, can't you come over?"
"What are you saying!"
"Alright, I won't waste any more time with you guys. I really did come here today because of something. It's about Mianmian and Xiaoduan's clothing store hiring. The results are out, and since I was free, I brought them over."
"I've heard about this. We really owe a lot to Comrade Li; she's helped the military solve a lot of work-related problems!"
"That's right, that's right, that makes seven jobs now."
"Since we've come this far, you'd better keep a close eye on things and make sure nothing like what happened last time happens again."
"Don't worry about that. This won't happen again. If it does, I won't care about their employment."
That's right.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you."
"What is it? Tell me."
"That's right, Mianmian said..."
"Are you telling the truth?"
Why would I lie to you?
"This is great news! Putting everything else aside, it means that our own children will have the opportunity to work at Chen Xi's wife's company."
"That's really true."
"But you have to pass the exam first, otherwise you can't apply. I don't accept backdoors here, you know?"
"You old rascal, do you need to tell me? We're not the kind of people who don't know what's good for us. But right now, when we're hiring, everyone needs to work there."
"Mianmian's situation has been resolved, so you can rest assured! However, due to the work accumulated in the agricultural sector over the past two years, we need to hire people. Once they pass the exam and interview, they can start working directly."
Are there any educational requirements?
"Yes, the minimum requirement is a high school graduate, but the salary will definitely not be as high as that of a college graduate or a vocational school graduate."
"That's only fair. How many people are needed?"
"Ten people"
"so much"
"There aren't many left, but quite a few people have signed up. It'll be up to them to decide."
"We know that."
In the summer of 1985, more than 20 years later, another student from our family went to military academy.
