Chapter 277: Qin Huairu, I Can't Help You
In order not to be squeezed to death by coworkers.
Qin Huairu could only place her hopes on Shazhu, hoping that, seeing they had lived together in the same courtyard for many years, he would overlook past grievances and help her, transferring her to work in the canteen.
Not going to the canteen.
Qin Huairu, who couldn't stay in the workshop, had to go to the Cleaning Section.
The Yagangchang, with over ten thousand people, had no secrets at all.
Qin Huairu remained the main gossip among people; if she really ended up cleaning toilets in the Yagangchang, her notoriously bad reputation would likely spread all the way to Qin Family Village.
Transferring away is the only option.
To be safe, Qin Huairu still came to find Shazhu, in preparation for the worst-case scenario.
She hoped Shazhu would, out of consideration for the Jia family's children, be magnanimous, not hold a grudge over the feud with the Jia family, and let her work in the canteen.
She tried to keep this matter from too many people.
Helping one but not the other easily offends people.
As for who would help him transfer his job,
It must be Shazhu!
Besides Shazhu, Qin Huairu couldn't find anyone else.
Over these years.
Hanging out with Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu still learned something.
Like darkness under a lamp.
When she came back from work, she inadvertently heard the neighbors muttering that Yu Li had taken her children back to her parents' home to see her grandparents.
This is the opportunity.
Disagree.
Tear her clothes and then claim you were molesting her.
Don't believe Shazhu won't comply.
Women, you know.
If one really throws caution to the wind, this face is no longer a face but a buttocks, and anything can be done.
Nor worry that Jia Zhangshi will cause a fuss.
Qin Huairu guessed that Jia Zhangshi nowadays would love for her and Shazhu to have some incident, so that Jia Zhangshi could have an excuse to extort money.
All along the way.
Walk in the shadows as much as possible.
Mainly she didn't want the neighbors to see her going to Shazhu's house.
This is unfavorable to the implementation of Qin Huairu's plan.
Arriving at Shazhu's doorstep, Qin Huairu reached out and knocked on his door.
Shazhu opened the door, saw it was Qin Huairu, instinctively frowned, and immediately placed his body across the doorframe.
Worried that Qin Huairu would barge in without regard.
Late at night, all was quiet.
A lone man and woman.
Really hard to say.
He Yushui had once warned Shazhu to beware of Qin Huairu's desperate, shameless tactics that would threaten him and give Qin Huairu no opening.
The wolf met the weasel.
Qin Huairu and Shazhu each had their own thoughts.
Worried that Shazhu would shut the door without a care, giving her a rebuff, the instant Shazhu opened the door, Qin Huairu immediately reached out and pressed against the door panel.
This was a lesson from past experience; she feared she would be turned away again.
"Zhuzi, Qin Sister has some important matters I want to discuss with you."
Qin Huairu played the emotion card, calling him Zhuzi and calling herself Qin Sister.
She blinked her dark, glossy eyes, staring fixedly at Shazhu, her eyes full of feeling, trying as much as possible to show her weakness and fatigue.
She wanted to move Shazhu with a pitiful, sorrowful scene.
Qin Huairu also felt a bit embarrassed to directly say the words asking Shazhu to help her transfer work.
The two families have no dealings, no foundation; to ask the other party right away to transfer your job to the canteen that countless people want to enter is pure fantasy.
It's purely daydreaming.
On the way over.
She had thought it through.
First get closer to Shazhu, dispel his guard, go inside with him to talk; once the door is closed, whether good or bad really hinges on Qin Huairu's words.
Before achieving success, one dies in the attempt.
Shazhu never intended to let Qin Huairu in; his body blocked the whole doorframe, and his gaze turned fierce upon hearing her call herself Qin Sister.
But this matter.
Cannot be spoken of outside.
Liu Haizhong's two children, Yan Fugui's several children, and other neighbors' kids currently have no jobs.
If she were to speak up, surely a crowd would swarm in, chattering and competing with Qin Huairu for the job.
This matter must be handled carefully.
Still cannot be seen by outsiders.
She paused for over a minute.
Seeing Shazhu not speaking and still blocking the door, Qin Huairu felt helpless and repeated what she had just said.
"Zhuzi, Sister Qin has something to say to you; can we talk inside?"
"Cannot."
Shazhu's voice.
Very cold.
Completely lacking the neighborly affection of years, with a tone that keeps people at a distance.
"Zhuzi, Sister Qin won't take much of your time; just one minute."
"Qin Huairu, I'm not acquainted with your Jia Family, and that includes you; you either address me by my name He Yuzhu, or call me Master He; definitely do not call me Zhuzi; as for you, don't call me Sister Qin; in my view, you are merely an ordinary Jia Family widow, a Qin widow."
Qin Huairu's seduction.
Has been soaked.
A flash of resentment crossed her face.
She thought: I've been made life difficult by my coworkers, and you're still so cold.
She doesn't believe that the incident in the Nine Vehicle Workshop would be unknown to Shazhu; Liu Lan is a well-known big mouth.
"I know what you want to say and why you're looking for me; I still say the same thing: if you want to transfer work, submit an application to the workshop director, then the workshop director forwards it to the factory leadership, and the factory leadership, based on the actual situation of Yagangchang, will assign you, Qin Huairu, to a position where your qualities can be utilized; I am merely a canteen director, without authority or qualification to help you."
Qin Huairu obviously didn't expect Shazhu to see through her thoughts so clearly and even speak them aloud; for a moment she was somewhat startled.
However, as a scheming woman, she quickly hid the surprise on her face, looking at Shazhu with the corners of her eyes that had just squeezed out tears, looking miserable and pitiful.
She could only pretend to be pitiful.
She also had to pretend to be pitiful before the neighbors came out.
Shazhu's voice seemed to have been heard by the neighbors.
The sound of the door being opened came into Qin Huairu's ears.
"I went to work at Yagangchang today; my coworkers aren't friendly, they've been making things difficult for me; as a woman, they have me moving and processing parts, exhausting me to the point I can't even walk; Zhuzi, Sister Qin, I beg you, as the canteen director you have the authority to transfer personnel to work at Yagangchang, please help Sister Qin; Sister Qin will remember your kindness for a lifetime."
Qin Huairu covered her face.
She began to sob softly.
Shazhu looked at the woman before him and slightly shook his head.
Self-inflicted misery.
Cannot survive.
When Yi Zhonghai was around, Qin Huairu relied on his backing and started slacking off from the moment she entered the factory, causing the Nine Vehicle Workshop to lag behind for over two years.
Now that Yi Zhonghai is gone, this resentment naturally needs to be vented on Qin Huairu.
Liang La Di, who entered the factory together with Qin Huairu, is now a level-three welder.
Put simply.
It's just a matter of being enterprising or not.
If Qin Huairu had even half of Liang La Di's enterprising spirit, she wouldn't be in her current state, like a street rat that everyone shouts at.
"Qin Huairu, I tell you clearly: Yagangchang's ten canteens are all fully staffed; I can't help you, nor am I able to."
