Chapter 1318: Is This Request Not Excessive?

~4 min read 731 words

Director Chen, hearing Liu Chuxue's words, felt immense gratitude that his intelligence had been online back then and that he had placed his hopes in Liu Chuxue.

Thinking that discussing matters required a quieter place, he said, "Not long ago, the Dashilar Office established a Youth Tea House; how about we go there to talk?"

Liu Chuxue was not a heartless person; even for the sake of the factory workers, she could not simply ignore the matter, but she still needed to act high and mighty to secure some benefits for herself, didn't she? "I have no objection."

Fu Yan Cheng, worried about Liu Chuxue, naturally accompanied her throughout the entire process.

The three of them directly boarded the bus opposite and arrived in not much time.

The newly opened tea house was on the west side of the Qianmen Arrow Tower, organized and founded by the sub-district office; it was a collectively owned enterprise, different from state-owned enterprises, established to place unemployed youth and solve employment for returning educated youth; the environment inside was truly not bad, quite suitable for discussing matters, and Liu Chuxue actually fell in love with this place at once. (The actual founding time was June 1979; we are using it a bit early.)

After Director Chen ordered a pot of tea, he said, "You wait a moment; I will make a phone call and return immediately."

The new Factory Director Zheng had been waiting for news from Director Chen's side; now, upon receiving the call, he stood up directly from his office chair: "No matter what the conditions, as long as they are not too excessive, agree to them..."

But before he could finish speaking, he heard Director Chen on the other end say that the other party wanted to see their sincerity, and he couldn't help but think to himself: Truly a little fox, indeed cunning enough.

Previously, she had also learned about Comrade Xiao's family situation; after a brief thought, she said, "Here is the deal: as long as we help resolve the order issue, we will reward one formal worker quota."

Hearing the factory director's words, Director Chen hesitated for a moment: "Factory Director, a single job quota might fail to spark her interest?"

Factory Director Zheng raised his hand, took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, and said, "Tell her that this factory entry quota is our sincerity; she can also make one request, and as long as it is not excessive, we will agree to it."

After hanging up the phone, Director Chen hurried back to the tea house, conveyed the factory director's meaning, and then waited for Liu Chuxue's next words; that serious expression actually made Liu Chuxue laugh.

She had already thought about what she wanted just now: "Director Chen, I have feelings for the factory; there is no doubt about this. Since the leadership has also shown sincerity, I am not that pretentious person. Please help me get two electric fan tickets; is this request not excessive?"

Hearing Liu Chuxue's words, Director Chen immediately made the decision: "Not excessive, not excessive; then we have an agreement."

After Liu Chuxue nodded lightly, she glanced at Fu Yan Cheng by her side before continuing to speak: "As for the matters afterwards, you just need to arrange them and notify me."

Director Chen quickly responded: "Look, can we go there right now? We really cannot afford to delay."

Liu Chuxue naturally had no problem.

Fu Yan Cheng accompanied Liu Chuxue, boarded the car that had come to pick up Director Chen, and entered the factory in not much time.

When they arrived, the newly arrived Factory Director Zheng had been waiting long ago.

Seeing them enter, he quickly stood up: "Comrade Xiao, right? We have finally waited for you to come."

Director Chen hadn't had time to introduce anyone before Factory Director Zheng had already walked out from behind the office desk.

Deputy Factory Director Gu, who had received the news, also hurriedly ran over; after exchanging a few pleasantries, he made a phone call. Fortunately, they didn't need to dial an international long-distance call; they had an office in Shanghai, so they could communicate directly with the staff there.

Even so, the call was transferred several times until Italian was heard on the other end of the line; Director Chen quickly handed the phone to Liu Chuxue.
