Chapter 98, Rank 2
She didn't have much hope for the grain station.
After all, you can't get by in a place like that without connections.
As for the textile factory, Sui Sui is at least a child of a textile factory worker, so there is still some hope for her.
Qin Yunzhou paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I didn't ask, but the results came out today. We'll find out when we go take a look later."
Wang Yinhua nodded. "Did Suisui say when she's going to check on the results?"
Although there's not much hope at the grain station, we've already taken the exam, so we should at least go and check it out.
Qin Yunzhou: "Let's eat breakfast later."
It's perfect for an after-dinner stroll; the time just flies by.
Wang Yinhua leaned closer to Qin Yunzhou and whispered, "Alright, you two be careful, don't let anyone else find out where you went."
"Mom went to work first."
If this is discovered, it's fine if Sui Sui passes the exam, but if she doesn't, who knows what people will say.
"Okay, Mom."
Wang Yinhua had just left.
Liu Feng followed closely behind.
Upon seeing Qin Yunzhou, Liu Feng paused for a moment, then stopped to greet him before quickening her pace to catch up with her mother-in-law.
She just saw the two of them whispering to each other.
I wonder what they said. Maybe they're thinking of Xu Sui and her husband with something good again.
Liu Feng kept guessing until she arrived at the textile factory and saw that Wang Yinhua did not go to work immediately, but went to the notice board.
She instinctively followed, and peeked out...
I don’t know, I’m scared.
What? The textile factory just finished its recruitment exam?
Xu Sui was among the top few on the list of those who advanced to the interview after the first round of written tests. This ranking was based on scores, with higher rankings indicating better scores.
Xu Sui tied for first place with another person.
However, the person who was ultimately hired was not Xu Sui, but someone else. Xu Sui's overall score was half a point lower than the first place, and she ranked second. Since only one person could be hired for the position.
Therefore, Xu Sui did not pass the exam.
But just thinking about it, it's obvious that this recruitment is most likely for a low-paying job like radish planting, and it's been decided inside the company long ago.
It's not that whoever gets the best score will be admitted.
In other words, if it weren't for Luobogang, Xu Sui would have been the undisputed number one.
For a moment, Liu Feng couldn't describe how she felt.
Xu Sui, her sister-in-law, was a typical city girl from a young age, and an exceptionally outstanding one at that.
She's good-looking, loved by her parents, has good grades, has lots of beautiful clothes, and seems to never lack food or drink, nor is she short of good men.
She's different.
She came from a poor family in the countryside. She was of average appearance and average in every way. For her, being able to eat, not being beaten or scolded by her parents, and being able to marry someone off for a dowry was already considered a great blessing. No one ever made any plans for her.
Liu Feng will never forget the first time Xu Sui returned to their remote and impoverished brigade with Wang Yinhua. She was wearing a beautiful dress and looked incredibly youthful, charming, and beautiful.
Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of many men and women in the group. The people looked at Xu Sui with amazement, as if she were a pure white cloud in the sky, making her unapproachable.
As for these country girls, they were immediately made to look shabby and dirty by Xu Sui, and were not presentable at all.
It was from that time onwards.
She didn't want to continue living in the countryside; she wanted to live in the city.
Now, she has finally married into the city and become one of the best-married girls in the brigade. To be precise, apart from her mother-in-law Wang Yinhua, she is the first girl in the brigade to marry into the city.
As a result, her relatives and friends have started to look at her with more respect, especially now that she has a job, her family is even more polite to her.
After learning the results from the notice board, Wang Yinhua, who had returned to the textile factory workshop to prepare for work, sighed.
Luobogang is not an easy place to get into.
My daughter is already outstanding enough.
As for the grain station, Wang Yinhua had no hope at all, nor did she think her daughter could pass the exam.
After all, in that place, ability alone isn't enough; connections are also crucial.
But my daughter has had a tough time, being pregnant as well.
She had saved up some money and tickets, and was going to the state-run restaurant later to buy some meat dishes to nourish her daughter.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
The Qin family's courtyard house.
Xu Sui drank some plain porridge, which was her simple breakfast. She changed her clothes, grabbed her small handbag, and went straight out to check her exam results.
She didn't go to the nearest textile factory, but went directly to the grain depot.
Seeing Xu Sui tidy herself up and walk outside, Xiao Fen couldn't help but tell Old Lady Qin about Xu Sui's unusual behavior.
"Grandma, you said my second sister-in-law is pregnant, so why does she keep going out every few days?"
Grandma Qin rolled her eyes at Xiao Fen, thinking to herself, "She's not just running around randomly, she's actually quite clever."
As expected, Xu Sui's exam results came out today.
If Xu Sui really gets accepted into the textile factory.
In this family, what could Xiao Fen compare to Xu Sui? Xu Sui had the ability, the children, and most importantly, her husband was reliable.
"Alright, why are you asking so many questions? It's their business if they want to go out, it has nothing to do with you, their sister-in-law."
"If you have nothing to do, go out and ask around to see which factories are hiring. Women should always try to earn some money so they can stand up straight if anything happens in the future."
Old Mrs. Qin believed that everything she said was well-intentioned and for Xiao Fen's benefit.
She wouldn't be willing to say these things to any other outsider.
Look at Xu Sui, how smart she is!
Who knows, I might actually get a job at the textile factory this time.
After all, Xu Sui has always been a good student and has a sharp mind.
Xiao Fen wasn't stupid; of course she knew that what the old lady said was quite right.
However, jobs are not so easy to find.
Her mind raced, and she felt that Old Lady Qin wouldn't say these things for no reason.
So, Xiao Fen took Qin's hand, leaned close to her, and whispered her question.
"Grandma, you've always been smart and have seen more and broader things than us younger generation. Can you give me some advice and see if there's any way you can get me a job?"
"If I really get a job, I'll give you half of my monthly salary every month until it's been three years. What do you think?"
Old Mrs. Qin would never have such a solution. If she did, her first choice would be her daughter-in-law Tian Hua, who has always been filial to her, or her own daughter from the countryside.
Why would they help Xiao Fen, their granddaughter-in-law with whom they have only a casual relationship?
She rolled her eyes at Xiao Fen, "You're quite the thinker. How could an old woman like me have that kind of ability? Instead of wasting your time coming here to inquire, you should be building a better relationship with Sui Sui and her husband."
"You might benefit from this in the future."
These days, someone who can find out job postings that others don't know is no ordinary person.
Xu Sui is very capable; they all underestimated her.
