Chapter 200 Work Matters
Director Wang took the pen and notebook from Sister Liu Qian and listened while quickly taking notes.
Seeing that Shazhu had stopped, he asked in confusion, "That's all?"
"That's all for now. That's all for the major aspects. As for the minor aspects, I can only provide you with a few more drawings, Director Wang." Sha Zhu scratched his head.
"How about I transfer you from the steel rolling mill to a state-owned enterprise? The timber mill hasn't been located yet and needs a lot of manpower," Director Wang suggested.
Sha Zhu shook his head repeatedly, "I'm all talk and no action; I can't do anything concrete, and I have a bad temper."
"Selling steamed buns and mutton soup can ruin a small stall in a single day. If I were to be transferred out, I'm afraid it would cause Director Wang a lot of trouble."
When Director Wang heard Sha Zhu say that, he knew that the kid was clearly trying to slack off.
But considering this kid doesn't play by the rules, I'm really afraid he'll cause a lot of trouble.
It's good that he was transferred to the subdistrict office; at least I'll keep an eye on him. The lumber mill won't be under my jurisdiction anymore. If something really goes wrong, this kid might lose his job.
The neighborhood committee has nowhere to place this kid, so they have to give up.
Seeing that everything was alright, Director Wang took the blueprints given to him by Sha Zhu and prepared to leave.
Sha Zhu wondered if he should ask Director Wang for a job opening; his second uncle, Cai Quanwu, was being incredibly slow and inefficient.
If I don't give it a push, I don't know when I'll be able to marry my second aunt.
Since seeing Xu Huizhen last time, Shazhu has shattered his preconceived notions.
If Uncle Cai Quanwu were to take Xu Huizhen to live on Qianmen Street, he wouldn't know if he could protect his wife.
Second Aunt Xu Huizhen was just too outstanding, even among the characters in novels and TV dramas that Shazhu knew about who pursued her.
After meeting his second aunt, Sha Zhu realized that this was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Anyway, with my abilities, if someone is really unreasonable, I can just deal with them discreetly. Why be afraid of everything?
Why think so much? Don't just ignore everything just to be lazy.
"Director Wang," Sha Zhu called out to the two who were about to leave.
Director Wang stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Sha Zhu with a puzzled expression, wondering what else the kid wanted to say. Hadn't he already finished talking? "What, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Could you give me a job opportunity?" Sha Zhu asked shyly.
He's asking me for a job opening. That's strange. This guy's got connections in the steel mill's HR department; finding someone a job should be a piece of cake for him.
"Tell us who you're helping find jobs this time, and we'll definitely be able to arrange them. In addition to the carpenters, the wood factory will also be hiring some local residents," Director Wang said.
"My second uncle, as you know, is not young anymore, and he has taken a fancy to a woman from the countryside."
Oh, by the way, Director Wang, this woman is literate and cultured; she's even more learned than my second uncle.
I saw my second uncle was dragging his feet and not in a hurry, so as his nephew, I had to think of a solution for him.
Director Wang smiled and lightly tapped Sha Zhu twice with his finger.
"I heard your second uncle met a woman when he went to Niulanshan to buy liquor. I didn't expect it to be true! That's good news. So, did this woman come by?"
"Yes, I've been to their home, and the neighbors in the nearby alleys have seen it too. It's very beautiful. I'm worried that if my second uncle waits too long, he might miss his chance."
Director Wang became interested. She was beautiful and cultured. How could she be interested in Cai Quanwu, the second uncle of Shazhu?
"How old is the girl?" Director Wang asked Sha Zhu with a smile.
Sha Zhu said awkwardly, "Director Wang, my second aunt is a year older than me, and she just reached marriageable age this year."
"You brat, Cai Quanwu isn't even married to her yet, and you already consider yourself her second aunt?"
"Looks like you've got a lot on your mind, kid. Your second uncle isn't young anymore. How could someone be interested in him?" Director Wang looked at Sha Zhu with a puzzled expression.
Indeed, although life in the countryside is tough now, one doesn't necessarily have to marry into the city, especially since Cai Quan is so much older than other men.
Unless a girl's life in the countryside is extremely difficult and she has no other way to survive, why would she insist on marrying someone much older than herself?
"I feel this woman is of good character and also has cultural knowledge."
Marrying my second uncle and coming to help me educate Yushui would be quite nice.
As you know, my mother passed away early, and my father went to another place with someone else, so I lack family affection.
After my second uncle came, Yushui became much more lively. Last time this woman came, Yushui took a liking to her immediately…”
"Yes, yes, that's right. You taught Yushui a lesson, and you turned her into a street bully."
"You're planning to send your second aunt, whom you booked, to the lumberyard?"
Director Wang felt a headache coming on when he thought about how both Sha Zhu and his sister were skilled in martial arts.
Without proper restraint, who knows what trouble might arise.
"Brother, my second aunt, is Sister Xu coming here to look for work?" Yu Shui suddenly appeared from behind Sister Liu Qian and asked the group.
I don't know when the rain hid behind Sister Liu Qian, or what she heard. Was it her aunt or her sister?
"Go play with your friends," Sha Zhu tried to chase Yu Shui away, but Yu Shui stuck out her little tongue at Sha Zhu and hid behind Liu Qian again.
"Director Wang, ask the staff at the small restaurant if any of them would be willing to work at the lumber mill."
Transfer a kitchen helper from the small restaurant to the lumber mill, and let my second aunt work at the small restaurant. That way, both my second uncle and second aunt can work at the small restaurant, which will be much more convenient.
Of course, Director Wang could also consider Second Aunt; if it's convenient for her to work at our subdistrict office, that would be fine too.
Director Wang shook his head. "I was thinking of transferring your second uncle to the subdistrict office. The subdistrict office is currently short of a few grassroots staff with education."
You can ask your second uncle if he's willing to come to the neighborhood office; the household registration issue can be resolved directly.
As for your second aunt, let's talk about that after she marries your second uncle.
Alright, I'll leave you with this task. Liu Qian and I are leaving now; we still have a ton of things to do.
"And could you draw more blueprints for me?" Director Wang said, and then turned to leave with Liu Qian.
Sister Liu Qian took a candy out of her pocket, tore off the wrapper, and stuffed it into Yu Shui's mouth.
He said goodbye to Sha Zhu and then left with Director Wang.
Sha Zhu quickly said, "Sister Liu, you saw Brother Jianguo? Tell him to come over for dinner. We're having a better meal today; he caught three big fish during the rain."
"Okay, I got it. Zhu Zi, can I come over? You only remember your Brother Li and forget about Sister Liu." Sister Liu Qian teased.
Before Sha Zhu could speak, Yu Shui, holding Liu Qian's clothes, mumbled something indistinctly.
“Sister Liu, I agree. Every time Brother Jianguo comes over, the two of them ignore me and just chat with each other.”
They're just busy chatting, what nonsense! Every time they come over and see the delicious food on the table, they forget all about chatting.
"Okay, have your brother make sauerkraut fish. Li Jianguo said it's so delicious."
"Your sister Liu is drooling just hearing about it. Your brother Jianguo and I will come over after get off work." Liu Qian finished speaking and followed Director Wang away.
