Chapter 1030: People in the light don’t tell the hidden story
Lin Ruixue hugged Nuonuo and pressed against the door frame. She just stuck half of her head out and then quickly retracted it.
The little girl twisted her body and made a noise: "Mom, I want to go in and see! There are flowery curtains inside!"
She quickly covered the child's mouth and whispered to him against the wall, "That's where the factory director's office is. Can we play hide-and-seek outside and wait for daddy?"
"Why is my sister-in-law standing outside?"
Wang Jianxiang suddenly jumped out, smiling like an old chrysanthemum: "If you had told me earlier that you were Mr. Zhou's family member, I would never have let you suffer in the workshop!"
As he said this, he was about to hold the child.
Lin Ruixue was so scared that she hid backwards, but the other party took Nuo Nuo in her arms.
In the office, Lin Ruixue sat on the edge of the sofa with a stiff back, legs pressed tightly together, fingers twisting the corners of her clothes and rubbing them back and forth, just like a primary school student being called in class.
Wang Jianxiang was teasing the child and saying nice things, but his eyes were glancing towards Zhou Qi.
"We are honest people and don't speak in secret."
Zhou Qi crossed his legs and knocked on the coffee table: "Regarding my wife's permanent job, Director Wang, can you give me a definite answer?"
"According to the rules, we have to wait until the end of the year for the employee vote, and the number of seats is limited..."
Wang Jianxiang deliberately prolonged his tone, and when he saw Zhou Qi frowning, he immediately changed the subject and said, "But if we can get a town household registration booklet, this matter will be much easier."
"How do I get a town hukou?"
Zhou Qi asked directly. Money can do anything these days: "How much should I prepare?"
Fatty Wang stretched out his chubby hand and said, "This is the number! Five thousand yuan!
Once you pay this money, your sister Liu will immediately become a proper city dweller, and you won’t have to worry about getting a permanent job in the future! "
In the mid-1980s, it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to obtain a city hukou.
What does five thousand yuan mean?
It is equivalent to ten years' salary of a regular worker in a state-owned factory. Ordinary people simply cannot afford this amount of money.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this policy is a back door for the families of cadres.
Those wives of officials are idle at home all day long. They can spend 5,000 yuan to change their household registration and then get a leisurely job in the company.
Many of the factory director's relatives got their jobs and government pay by doing this. But on the other hand, the financial accounts did add a lot of revenue.
"That's easy!"
Zhou Qi touched his trouser pocket and said, "I don't have any cash with me today. Can I bring it to you tomorrow?"
"Boss Zhou, don't be so polite!"
Fatty Wang smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits: "Last time, when we were dealing with the dredging boats in Luoma Lake, you gave the brothers a lot of money for tea and water. Fourth Brother's brothers are my brothers, how can I take money from you again?"
Zhou Qi waved his hand quickly: "The bridge is the bridge and the road is the road! My Ruixue is a soft-tempered girl. The machines in the workshop are rumbling. Can you move her to a quieter place after you become a regular employee?"
As he said this, he winked at his wife.
Lin Ruixue twisted her fingers and whispered, "Director Wang... I... I am now responsible for recording the number of materials and output in the workshop."
“Isn’t this ready-made?”
Fatty Wang slapped his thigh and said, "After you become a regular employee, my sister-in-law will go directly to the finance department. The sound of abacus beads is much lighter than the sound of machines!"
"This is a good idea!" Zhou Qi thought about the other expenses he had to take care of besides the household registration fee.
"useless!"
Lin Ruixue was so anxious that she kept waving her hands: "I don't even understand the account keeping of debits and credits..." She even stuttered when she spoke.
Fatty Wang laughed and said, "Who is born with the ability? Every year the institute sends people to the provincial capital for training. My sister-in-law is so smart, I guarantee she will be able to do it right away!"
Zhou knew it clearly - Fatty Wang was waiting to collect the bribe.
But it was worth the money to transfer my wife from the noisy workshop to the finance office.
He immediately clasped his fists and said, "I will remember this favor, Brother Wang. I will prepare the money for the tea tomorrow!"
Wang Jianxiang accompanied Zhou Qi and his wife to the factory gate with a smile on his face, and only turned back after the taillights of his motorcycle disappeared around the corner.
Lin Ruixue clutched the corner of Zhou Qi's clothes. The evening breeze blew her bangs into a mess, but her heart was as hot as if she had a freshly baked sweet potato in her arms.
Who would have thought?
She had been trying for three years to get a formal job but her man got her one in the blink of an eye by just handing her a cigarette.
What was even more surprising was that I was transferred directly to the Finance Department - although there were only five people in the entire department including the section chief, it was a respectable job working in an office.
"Boss, how should I thank you?"
Lin Ruixue pressed her face against Zhou Qi's back, and the call of "boss" was sweeter than honey. The front wheel ran over a broken brick, and the motorcycle bumped her into the man's back.
"Thank you for what? I just mentioned it casually."
Zhou Qi held the handlebars with one hand and patted the thin arm around his waist with the other hand: "It's a waste of your talent to let you be an accountant. In my opinion, you should be the factory director's secretary directly."
Lin Ruixue's blushing cheeks were reflected in the rearview mirror: "It's like a dream! I was still thinking about finding a way out when I went out this morning, and now I've even arranged a desk."
She suddenly remembered something and twisted Zhou Qi's waist with her fingers: "Oh, that five thousand yuan..."
"How can five thousand be enough?"
Zhou Qi suddenly sped up, frightening Lin Ruixue so much that she screamed and hugged him tightly:
"It costs this much just to transfer your household registration. To keep your position, you need to prepare at least ten thousand more. Remember to send fresh food to the Wang brothers during festivals in the future. Do you understand?"
As soon as she got home and set up the frame, Lin Ruixue was busy washing rice and picking vegetables, muttering: "Ten thousand yuan is enough to buy two new motorcycles. It hurts my heart to spend this money."
The chopping board made a clattering sound, as if the chopping board was chopping the banknotes.
"Money is a bastard. You can earn more by spending it."
Zhou Qi leaned against the door frame, tapping the glass rhythmically with his fingers: "How about you, how are you going to reward the heroes tonight?"
He deliberately raised his chin towards the inner room.
Lin Ruixue tilted the knife tip and the carrot rolled under the stove: "The child is still doing homework!"
She bent down to pick it up, and suddenly felt a burst of heat on the back of her neck: "Who cares? Anyway..."
"It stinks! Go take a shower!"
Lin Ruixue turned around with the kitchen knife in hand, her watery eyes reflected on the back of the knife: "Well... I haven't been feeling well these past two days."
Zhou Qi was stunned for two seconds, scratching his shaved head frantically: "Three days earlier or later is fine, why did you have to do it at this time!"
He suddenly caught a glimpse of his wife biting her lip and laughing, and immediately realized: "Are you kidding me?"
"Why did you lie to me?"
Lin Ruixue turned her back and cut ginger slices, her earlobes red as blood: "If you really want to... you can just boil a pot of hot water and wipe it."
The kitchen knife made fine scratches on the chopping board, and the sound was quieter than that of a mosquito.
"Nonsense!"
Zhou Qi suddenly frowned: "Can this matter be dealt with? What if it causes a chronic disease?"
He picked up the enamel pot and took two gulps of herbal tea, his Adam's apple rolling up and down: "My Zhou Qi's wife is so precious!"
In the canteen of Tanggou Winery, the outer room can accommodate about two hundred people for meals.
If you want to talk about elegance, you have to look at the private room inside, which is a place specially provided for the factory leaders.
Zhou Kang stood up with his glass of wine. Several uniformed waiters around him were busy refilling the glasses for Shen Bing, Wang Dazhi, Gao Gou Gao Shun, and Shuang Gou Tang Shuo who were present. His son Zhou Weixing was also sitting beside them.
