Chapter 296: Opportunity Comes Only Once
Su Xiaomei’s assistant is not just any position. Su Xiaomei has now become the workshop director, and she handles all of the most complicated and finely detailed head flowers, in addition to being responsible for recording and inspecting. There’s so much to do; she had been wanting to find an assistant for Su Xiaomei, but there hadn’t been a suitable candidate for a while.
Wang Lianhua was actually not fully qualified, but Su Xiaomei, with her gentle nature, though now a director, still lacked a bit of assertiveness.
Wang Lianhua was also soft-spoken. Su Xiaomei could keep her in line, but if it were someone more capable and perceptive, they might soon take advantage of her, and Shen Meng was not at ease. From the looks of it, only Wang Lianhua seemed suitable.
"Xiao Meng, I, I’m not sure I’m up for it. I was just hoping you could give me some temporary work, I never expected such a good job opportunity."
"Sister-in-law Lianhua, I wanted you to come back when the Head Flower Factory was established. But then I found out about Erqing’s situation... So I thought I’d wait a bit, wait until your emotions settled, wait until you were ready to either split your household or stand on your own feet. Some things happened in between, but now the outcome is good. You can take care of Daqing, Erqing, and Yaoyao, and have a happy family life. Plus, you have skills, isn’t it natural that you’d return to the flower factory?"
Since Lu Yonggang left, Wang Lianhua felt that she would eventually return to the Head Flower Factory; Shen Meng would take care of her. But she didn’t expect to be offered the position as assistant to Su Xiaomei right off the bat.
She really admired Su Xiaomei’s skills and abilities. In this aspect, there wasn’t a bit of consideration given just because of Shen Meng’s face.
Twenty-one yuan a month, even regular jobs in the county didn’t pay that much. She knew her capabilities; the money was too much, and she felt insecure about it. Especially knowing not much, and all the words she recognized were those taught by her sons, she feared she wouldn’t perform well.
