Chapter 1803: Two Job Positions
Since Yanjing of Uncle Fu's family got engaged, the Luo family has treated her even better than before; no one needs to ask why.
Uncle Fu's wife looked at her little daughter and said, "See, what did I tell you before? Once you get married and return to the city, keep in touch with your cousins and their wives. Your own brothers and sisters-in-law can't be counted on, but if you get along well with your cousins and their wives, they can still stand up for you."
Look at the Luo family's attitude toward you now; it's mostly because of your Second Uncle and his family."
At this very moment, the Luo family, whom the mother and daughter were talking about, was also discussing the Fu family and their affairs.
Just then, Luo Xiaoxiao, the Luo family's only daughter, said, "Mom, since their family is so powerful, after Third Brother gets married, can you help get my husband transferred to a different job? His current work is both tiring and dirty. We've always wanted to change our trade, but we lack connections."
Luo Congjun had just returned from outside when he heard his second sister's words: "Sister, don't harm me. I'm not even married yet, and you're already calculating my future wife's family."
Hearing her third brother's words, Luo Xiaoxiao said unhappily, "How is this calculating? Shouldn't relatives help each other?"
Luo Congjun poured himself a cup of cool boiled water and drank it down: "My brother-in-law works at the oil refinery. They don't know anyone there. How can they help?"
Luo Xiaoxiao stood up, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the windowsill, and said, "That depends on you. As long as you get along well with them and coax your wife into being happy, they will naturally think of ways to help. We're both in the capital; there must be some network of connections. At worst, it's just one person asking another."
At this, Luo Father, who had been silent, spoke up: "Stop daydreaming. If they really had such connections, Yanjing wouldn't still be on the farm."
Luo Xiaoxiao disagreed slightly: "That's because of policy reasons; Yanjing had to go to the countryside. Not to mention her Second Uncle's family, just look at Yanjing's own family. They used to live in a big courtyard compound; how could they have no connections?"
Luo Mother couldn't stand it anymore and interjected: "Even if Yanjing's family really has connections, they would arrange a job for Yanjing first. How could they possibly help unrelated relatives first? Don't make things difficult for your Second Brother. He finally found a wife he likes; don't mess it up for him."
Luo Xiaoxiao said with an unhappy face: "Mom, I didn't say help my husband first. Look how anxious you are."
Luo Congjun didn't want his second sister to continue: "Second Sister, debts of favor are the hardest to repay. Even if you have this idea, it's something to discuss later. Bringing it up now is too early."
Luo Father extinguished the cigarette in his hand: "It won't be long before Congjun gets married. Congjun's room needs to be properly fixed up so the in-laws don't think we don't take the marriage seriously."
Luo Eldest Sister-in-law felt somewhat uncomfortable hearing this: "With the ground frozen and the weather so cold, even painting the walls isn't a good idea at this season. At most, we can just sweep the roof to make the house look cleaner."
Luo Congjun ignored his eldest sister-in-law Du Chengjuan's words: "At worst, we can light a fire basin; it won't take much effort. I'll handle this."
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day of Yanjing's wedding. Fu Yan Cheng returned a day early and brought good news for Liu Chuxue: "Wife, they agreed to your previous proposal. The sanitary pad factory will start preparations before the New Year, and people can report for duty after the New Year. The production line will arrive at Tianjingang at the latest after the New Year."
Liu Chuxue was shocked: "So fast?"
Fu Yan Cheng nodded and said: "Mainly because all three parties are working hard to promote this project. It has become a key light industry introduction project. After all, it involves people's livelihood, and the Women's Federation put in a lot of effort this time."
Liu Chuxue looked at Fu Yan Cheng: "These two positions, one for your family and one for mine, perfectly balanced."
Fu Yan Cheng smiled at her: "You had this planned out long ago?"
