Chapter 628: Leaning against a big tree is good for shade

~8 min read 1,482 words

Xiao Jiang asked Lu Qiaoge generously: "Comrade Xiao Lu, is this factory still being prepared in the name of your Xiang Yang Neighborhood Office?"

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "Currently, it seems more convenient to rely on the Xiang Yang Neighborhood Office."

Xiao Jiang said: "I heard that there are very few unemployed youths in 516, one could say almost none. Then, does your recruitment this time need to be external, that is, recruiting locally?"

Xiao Jiang was a bit tempted.

It is said that leaning against a big tree is good for shade.

516 is a big tree. Lu Qiaoge's industry is spread so wide, yet she is still affiliated with the Xiang Yang Neighborhood Office and relies on the military factory, precisely because leaning against a big tree is good for shade.

The current situation is truly complex; a slight carelessness could lead to big trouble.

But because of the special nature of 516, many things become simple within the factory.

Otherwise, Lu Qiaoge's career couldn't have progressed so smoothly.

If this recruitment can be external, then it would be the same as being admitted to the military factory.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Xiao Jiang and said in a low voice: "My plan is to recruit locally, but it still needs the approval of the leadership."

Being called Brother Jiang by Lu Qiaoge, Xiao Jiang knew that if they were really recruiting locally, he could get the advantage of being near the water.

Although Lu Qiaoge didn't say it explicitly, this was also a disguised promise to him.

Xiao Jiang's face was full of smiles.

Every family has a difficult scripture to chant.

He has many children in his family, a total of seven. One of his younger brothers and two younger sisters, plus him, were all in the batch that went to the countryside to join the production teams.

The problem now is that they want to return to the city, and if there is no receiving unit, they simply cannot return.

Although this place is located in a border city, if the factory is 516, it is also a place that many educated youths who went to the countryside and want to return to the city wouldn't even dare to think about.

Even without saying it explicitly, Xiao Jiang was grateful and said to Lu Qiaoge: "Comrade Xiao Lu, thank you so much!"

Lu Qiaoge said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, if this factory is built, the number of recruits will be around five hundred. If you really have thoughts, prepare in advance."

If recruiting, there are definitely requirements for household registration.

Xiao Jiang nodded earnestly.

Household registration is truly a big problem; he has to think about who to go to for help to solve it as soon as possible.

After a while, Old Zhou also came to the large office. Lu Qiaoge also told Old Zhou about this matter. Old Zhou had no objections, but he urged Lu Qiaoge to bargain if she could.

No matter what, the money we earn is hard-earned money.

Every cent must be spent on the cutting edge.

The Xiang Yang Food Factory is still working overtime to complete the urgent order for Chu He.

Lu Qiaoge learned from Sister Zhao that Liang Min wants to work overtime and wants to work overtime with everyone.

Sister Zhao said that this person has a strong sense of collective honor.

Moreover, she works hard and is very earnest; last month she was even rated as the production pacesetter of the workshop.

The problem now is that Liang Min just wants to work overtime. She finished a bite of food and hurriedly ran to the workshop; you can't just drag her out.

If that happens, Liang Min won't be able to hold her head up in the workshop in the future.

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "Then let's follow her own wishes."

Lu Qiaoge also wanted to see if this Old Woman Tian would be like Old Woman Li, not stopping until she caused some trouble.

Lu Qiaoge simply followed along to work overtime.

Qin Hengzhi called, and Lu Qiaoge told him that she was going to work overtime with the workers.

Qin Hengzhi on the phone asked about the time, urged Lu Qiaoge a few words, and then hung up the phone.

Because Lu Qiaoge doesn't just manage this one factory, she is very busy.

Then these workers saw Lu Qiaoge also working overtime, and their motivation became even stronger.

Originally, the production task for today could only be finished after nine o'clock in the evening, but unexpectedly, at eight-thirty, the workers of the food factory left work one after another.

But they were definitely very tired.

And Liang Min dragged her exhausted body home. When she opened the door, what greeted her was a messy living room and angry family members.

Liang Min's heart tightened. Today, Director Zhao didn't let her work overtime, but she didn't want to fall behind; she wanted to be with everyone, she didn't want to be the special one.

She actually prefers the unit.

And Director Zhao also said that in three more days, this production task could be completed ahead of schedule.

Three days... she could definitely persist.

But at this time, her mother-in-law was standing with her hands on her hips, looking at her with fierce eyes.

Her father-in-law was sitting on a chair, puffing on a dry tobacco pipe, his face showing habitual helplessness.

Her brother-in-law was standing angrily at the kitchen door, holding the two-flour steamed bun steamed in the morning. Seeing her return, he glared at her hard.

Her husband had a dark face, was feeding the child water, and seeing her enter, he just lifted his eyelids, his eyes full of disappointment and exhaustion.

"You still know how to come back?" Old Woman Tian, seeing her enter the door, was even angrier. She rushed over angrily, "I must go and talk to your factory director today. Why does she, Lu Qiaoge, toss people around like this? This is exploiting the working masses, it's the practice of the evil capitalist.

She is unmarried, has no children, is empty-handed, and is relaxed. Can't others have a family? The daughter-in-law my son married is a worker in the food factory. She goes there to work normally. She is not a slave sold to the food factory!"

These words were like a basin of ice water, poured over Liang Min's head.

She was tired and angry, trembling all over: "Mom, don't talk nonsense..."

"I don't care about her, I only know that I, this old woman, have lived my whole life and have never seen a daughter-in-law like you!"

Old Woman Tian became more and more excited as she spoke. She grabbed a cattail leaf fan by the door and walked out: "I'll go find Lu Qiaoge today. I want to ask her, is her factory important, or is the life of our whole family important!"

"Mom, don't go!" Liang Min, with an ugly face, hurriedly stopped her mother-in-law.

She knew that once this matter was stirred up in the factory and reached the ears of her colleagues, how would she conduct herself in the future, and how would everyone look at her?

"I'm going! Are you moving or not?" Old Woman Tian pushed Liang Min away, her cloudy eyes full of stubbornness and resentment: "I want to see if she, Lu Qiaoge, has three heads and six arms, and can make everyone in 516 revolve around her!"

While saying this, Old Woman Tian felt that she was full of fighting spirit.

Lu Qiaoge is a capable person.

In the jurisdiction managed by the Xiang Yang Neighborhood Office, all the residents who know her either admire her or fear her.

She, Old Woman Tian, doesn't believe in that evil.

Now the working people are the masters, so why let the working people work overtime?

And at this time, Liang Min rushed in front of Old Woman Tian, grabbed Old Woman Tian's arm, and said urgently: "Mom, don't go... it's my fault, it's me who took the initiative to work overtime. Factory Director Lu and the directors didn't let me work overtime, but I thought there were three days left, so I wanted to persist to the end. And the ones managing us are Meng Qingshan and Zhou Li, why are you looking for Lu Qiaoge?"

Old Woman Tian's body is quite good.

And Liang Min was really tired for a whole day. In the afternoon, she stood in front of the machine for five hours. Not only were her hands weak, but her legs were actually soft.

At this time, she needed rest, not to tear with Old Woman Tian.

So she was pushed away by Old Woman Tian, and Old Woman Tian walked out of the courtyard while cursing, walking quickly toward the direction of the food factory...
