Chapter 237: Aging Means Relaxation
Jiang Huan’s husband, Song Da Gui, also works at the public transportation company; he drives a tricycle with a tortoise shell-like cover. That’s why Shen Meng was able to hail a ride so quickly at the station. She herself is a group leader for frontline workers at the Provincial City garment factory. The courtyard she rents is actually quite cheap, shared by several families, and cooking a meat dish can draw the neighboring kids over.
Eagerly they watch you; if you give them some, it pains you to part with it, and if you don’t, seeing the pitiful look on the children hurts your heart. Life is quite stifling!
"Hey, why am I even talking about this? Girl, have some water. This is orange-flavored—nice, isn’t it? Your brother-in-law got it when he drove someone to the station last time, a gift from that person!"
Shen Meng smiled and nodded; it was good, just that the saccharin inside was a bit throat-pricking.
After they chatted about this and that for a while, Shen Meng suddenly said, "Sister, I heard you mention last time that there was a job opening for a statistician at your factory. That job isn’t laborious and pays well, way better than your current group leader position. If you could land that statistician job, you might have a good chance of getting a house allocation next quarter!"
"Ah, how could I possibly..."
"Sister Jiang, how are you any less qualified than others? Just like our Ning County; although it’s a poverty-stricken county, I’ll let you in on a secret. The trip to Provincial City that I made with our County Party Secretary resulted in securing an order worth hundreds of thousands, and it’s with foreign businesses too! It’s a done deal, and once we’re back, it’s definitely going to hit the newspapers. You might even see me there!"
"How much? Hundreds of thousands? In foreign exchange???"
"Shh, keep it down, sister. This is just between us family; I wouldn’t tell anyone else."
Jiang Huan’s heart raced with excitement; she knew Shen Meng was capable, but she didn’t realize she was this impressive. Hundreds of thousands, just think about it! She looked at Shen Meng’s radiant face and couldn’t help feeling admiration; she knew she must foster a good relationship with her in the future!
