Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Lin Donglai was full of confusion. The payment for the goods had already been settled. Could it be that there was still something else that needed his help?

He hesitated for only a moment before retracting his foot that was about to step out of the purchasing department and asked in doubt, "Chief Su, is there anything else?"

Section Chief Su pulled him back to the table, patted his shoulder and motioned him to sit down: "It's like this, our purchasing department needs to add a buyer. After observing you for some time, I think you are more suitable for this position.

I don't know if you are interested in this job, but as long as you agree to come to our factory, don't worry about the other formalities. I can handle it."

An old purchasing agent in the factory had just retired, and the factory was short of a new one. Chief Su was looking for a candidate during this period, and it happened that he discovered that Lin Donglai had advantages in this area.

After learning about the young man's family situation, he felt sympathetic and rejected the candidate recommended by the Street Office to the factory's personnel department. He gave priority to Lin Donglai, but was worried that he was used to his freedom and would not want to work in the factory.

Lin Donglai didn't expect that Section Chief Su would assign him a job, so it made sense that the wild boar tickets were delayed before. He probably used this name to observe during this period of time.

He replied excitedly: "Chief Su, I am very interested in the job of buyer. Thank you very much for your appreciation. I will definitely work hard."

Section Chief Su seemed very happy and couldn't wait to make arrangements: "Then it's settled. You will report to the factory tomorrow morning."

It is not easy to get a job these days. Many unemployed young people are eagerly waiting for the street office to assign them a job, not to mention a large factory like a steel rolling mill with tens of thousands of employees, which is the dream of many people.

Lin Donglai certainly understood the importance of this matter. It was a good thing with no harm to him. He had been worrying about how to deal with the living things in the space, and now the opportunity had come to him.

In fact, he had resented the original owner in his heart at first. If he hadn't been so socially anxious and cowardly that he didn't dare to go out and replace Lin's father's job as an elementary school teacher, he wouldn't have had to live such a hard life starting from scratch after traveling through time.

Despite the support of the system space, he knew that relying on hunting and fishing all day long was not a good way out, because anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was impossible to have such a good harvest every time, and it would definitely arouse suspicion over time.

Happiness came too suddenly. After saying goodbye to Section Chief Su, Lin Donglai could not remember at all how he walked out of the steel rolling mill gate and back to the courtyard.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Yan Jiecheng came to greet him with a flattering smile: "Donglai, you are back so soon, but you made so much money today, how come you came back empty-handed?"

Lin Donglai's train of thought was interrupted by Yan Jie, and he came back to his senses. He looked to see that he indeed had nothing in his hands, and couldn't help but smile.

"You're right. Today is indeed worth celebrating. I'll take Dong Yi out to a restaurant when she comes back."

"Eat out! That place is so precious. I have never been to a restaurant in my life. I heard that one meal there is enough to eat several meals at home."

In this era, eating out is a luxury and most people don’t dare to try it easily, let alone the Yan family. It is understandable that Yan Jiecheng reacted so strongly.

Yan Jiecheng's face was filled with envy as well as contempt. No wonder, in this era, people who eat out are mostly considered to be unable to live, and it's just that the Yan family's performance in this regard is more obvious.

Lin Donglai was not angry, but smiled and replied: "Yes, that place is expensive, but I made a lot of money today, and Dongyi and I can't eat much, so we can afford it.

Besides, today I have a great event in my life, I have a job, and I must celebrate it.”

Yan Jiecheng followed up with the question, "What's the big happy event? Tell me about it."

After learning that Lin Donglai was assigned to work in the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill and was to report early tomorrow morning, Yan Jiecheng's face lost its luster in an instant, his mouth drooped and he couldn't utter a word.

He has been unemployed at home for quite some time. His father has not yet reached retirement age, so he cannot take his place at school. It is also difficult to find odd jobs at this time, so he can only stay at home every day and wait for opportunities.

Because of this matter, Yan Bugui ran to the street every few days. His legs were almost thin from running, but he still couldn't arrange a job for his eldest son. Yan Jiecheng was also ridiculed for this matter.

He didn't say anything else, turned around and went home dejectedly. As soon as he arrived at the door, he met Yan Bugui who came home from get off work. After greeting him, he went back to the room and lay down on the bed.

Yan Bugui saw that his eldest son was in a different state than usual, so he immediately walked over to his wife and whispered, "Is the eldest son hungry or something? He looks a little off, go ask him."

The eldest son was so angry with him that day that he didn't say anything to him except saying hello these days.

A few minutes later, the third aunt exclaimed in the room: "Impossible?"

Yan Bugui was startled and rushed into the house, asking repeatedly: "What's wrong? What's impossible?"

When he saw the mother and son both looking up at him, he couldn't help but complain: "You're so scared, I thought it was something urgent."

The third aunt said sadly, "I wanted to tell you, but you have the same reaction. Do you know what my son said just now? He said that the boy from the Lin family will go to work tomorrow. Do you know where he will work? The steel mill! And he will work in the purchasing department!"

Yan Bugui didn't believe it at all and sneered, "This is unbelievable. He was asked to take over Lao Lin's class at the school before, but he didn't want to. Now that he is in the street, he has to wait for the assignment.

That day, Director Wang from the Subdistrict Office told me in person that if a unit needed someone, our eldest son would be assigned to the position immediately, and it would not be his turn yet.

Seeing that his father didn't believe him, Yan Jiecheng didn't care too much and sat up from the bed: "Dad, this is absolutely true. Lin Donglai said it himself. How can it be false?"

Then he told him everything, from following him into the mountains today, to seeing him hunt a rabbit, to following him to the steel mill to see how much money he made.

Of course, he definitely didn't tell anyone that he helped carry the rabbits and earned two cents. He must have known that once he told anyone, Yan Bugui would definitely find an excuse to confiscate the money.

The old couple sat on the kang, one on each side, stunned by what they heard. Auntie Three asked in disbelief, "He made 19 yuan in just half a day? Are there so many wild rabbits on the mountain?"

Yan Bugui was silent for a while before he asked quietly, "You followed him into the mountains, and he caught so many wild rabbits, but you didn't catch any?"

Yan Jiecheng knew what he meant. He just felt bad about his own incompetence. He answered angrily, "Yes, I was unlucky and didn't catch any hares. I'm tired and want to lie down for a while."

Seeing that her son had pulled the quilt to cover his head and was obviously unwilling to talk anymore, the third aunt quickly pulled Yan Bugui out, fearing that he would say something unpleasant again.
