Other older women who saw this also came over, smiling warmly, and said, "Of course, Sui Sui has always looked like a promising girl. Look how pretty she is, and she's also very capable."
At this moment, someone asked, "Sui Sui, what do you do at the grain station? Are you responsible for selling grain at the counter?"
"Speaking of which, it'll be time to go to the grain station to buy grain next month. When the aunties line up in your queue, could you give them a little extra grain? How about that?"
"Oh dear, how come I didn't think of that? You're so quick-witted. Sui Sui, remember to give us a few decorations later, we've all watched you grow up."
Xu Sui forced a polite but not awkward smile, "...Auntie, I'm sorry, I don't work at the counter, I work in the logistics department, this is not my responsibility."
After saying that, he left those words behind.
She walked right past them without even glancing at them, and left without hesitation.
Behind her, the older women hadn't reacted yet and hurriedly called out to her, "Hey, hey, why did you leave? We weren't finished talking!"
Xu Sui pretended not to hear and continued on her way.
She passed the exam for the grain station, but she didn't become the head of the grain station.
Even the head of the grain depot probably wouldn't dare to be so blatant.
They keep track of how much grain someone has each day, and there's a special scale at the counter where it's weighed repeatedly. There are so many eyes watching; it's not like anyone can just fill up as much grain as they want.
Xu Sui had barely left when the group of older women started whispering among themselves, watching her departing figure.
"Look, things are different now that he's gotten into a good company. He looks even more handsome and speaks with more confidence. I didn't agree to my son marrying Xu Sui back then, because I was afraid she was too pretty and would cause trouble. I should have known better than to stop my son."
"That's right. Not to mention before, even now that Xu Sui is married, all the young men in our compound are still staring at her."
"Putting everything else aside, Xu Sui is even more beautiful than her mother Wang Yinhua was when she was young, no wonder so many young men can't take their eyes off her."
Grain depot.
Led by Hong Tao, the deputy director of the logistics department, Xu Sui arrived at her workstation.
The purchasing department has a separate office, and there are several other people besides her.
The office is quite spacious and bright, and it has everything you need.
"Xiao Xu, this is your position from now on. There's not much to do these next few days. Your only task right now is to familiarize yourself with your new job responsibilities. You'll mainly be in charge of purchasing, so be careful and don't make any mistakes."
"Xiao Zhang, come here for a moment. You'll be in charge of mentoring Xiao Xu and helping her get familiar with her work as soon as possible. You guys are all veteran employees, while Xiao Xu is still a newbie. Please give her some pointers in the future."
The "Little Zhang" that Hong Tao mentioned was a woman not much older than Xu Sui, named Zhang Qiuxia.
She was rather plump, with smooth, fair skin, clearly indicating that she came from a well-off family and ate well.
Zhang Qiuxia got up and walked over with a smile. She looked Xu Sui up and down, her gaze finally settling on Xu Sui's fair skin. She immediately concluded that Xu Sui's family must be well-off.
These days, you can tell the difference between someone with ability and someone without ability just by looking at them together.
Zhang Qiuxia's smile became even more genuine.
"Don't worry, Director Hong, I will take good care of Xiao Xu."
Hong Tao nodded. "That's good."
"Xiao Xu, if you have any questions, you can ask your sister Qiuxia, or you can come to my office and ask me."
"I'm leaving now, you guys continue with your work."
"Okay, Director." Xu Sui nodded with a smile.
After Hong Tao left.
While showing Xu Sui the job duties, Zhang Qiuxia inadvertently began to inquire about her situation.
"Xiao Xu, look at you, you're not even twenty yet. What unit does your husband work for? How did he manage to marry such a beautiful wife like you?"
"Could he also be an employee of our grain depot?"
Even if you try to cover up four-month-old twins with loose clothing, you can still tell them apart after a few glances.
Moreover, Zhang Qiuxia was an experienced woman who had long noticed that this newcomer was not only married but also pregnant.
Only internal staff knew about the grain depot's recruitment information. Generally, those who could get into this place were either veterans transferred from the military or "insiders".
For others, getting in is incredibly difficult, especially for the lucrative purchasing position, which is not something just anyone can do.
Xu Sui immediately understood what the other person meant. Instead of answering directly, she asked back as if it were a casual question.
"Sister Qiuxia, is your husband an employee of our grain depot?"
Zhang Qiuxia glanced at Xu Sui, smiled, and didn't hide it. She whispered closer to her.
"Of course, it's not just me. All the people in our purchasing department have family connections with the grain station. Otherwise, how could they get into such a good department?"
"Some rely on their parents, some rely on their own men. These are no secrets. You'll know this once you've been here long enough. I'm the second type."
"Xiao Xu, you must be the second type, right?"
Xu Sui thought about it and realized that she was also a part of it. After all, Hong Tao's connections belonged to Qin Yunzhou. The reason she was at the grain station was not only because of her own abilities, but also because Hong Tao had put in a lot of effort.
If it weren't for her lack of connections, she would have been eliminated long ago.
I guess so.
Zhang Qiuxia thought that the young girl was just shy and embarrassed to say that she relied on her family's man.
She smiled and leaned closer to whisper, "What's the big deal? Don't be shy. Whether you rely on your parents or a man, it's still a skill."
"Most people don't even have our abilities."
"By the way, you still haven't told me which company your man works for. He must be a capable man to be able to marry such a beautiful wife like you."
Whether it's blind dating or finding a partner, as long as it involves marriage, practical issues must be considered.
This man may not be good-looking, but he can't be ordinary in ability, otherwise how will he support his wife, children, and the whole family in the future?
If a man doesn't have some ability, no woman will marry him.
Especially for the prettier and more attractive women, the more they pay attention to the conditions of the men they choose; at least, that's how they and the people around them choose men.
See, if you choose a good man, he can take care of everything for you.
She was able to get a job at the grain depot back then because of this, and now she lives a very comfortable life.
