Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1512 Good Luck Continues (1)
Indeed, this is the case, and even in the future, those with cadre status will receive higher pensions than those with worker status.

Linlang, who had already decided to be just a cog in the machine, waved her hand and said, "I don't like to use my brain, so I'll stay in the workshop as a worker," when Section Chief Wang said he wanted to recommend her to the publicity department, just like in the original owner's memories.

When Section Chief Wang saw Linlang refuse, he was surprised. You see, most people would never refuse such a great opportunity. If it weren't for Li Linlang's good education, intelligence, quick learning ability, and his liking for her, he would never have recommended her.

That's just how he is. If someone catches his eye, he won't need anyone to give him gifts; he'll recommend them and even dislike those who try to get in through connections. If someone doesn't catch his eye, no amount of flattery will work.

—This temper probably offended a lot of people, which is why he was later reported for writing reactionary articles.

Since this person was so clear about his likes and dislikes, it's quite normal that when he got into trouble, the original owner not only didn't help him but also cut ties with him. It's also normal that this person would hate the original owner to an extreme degree in the future and cause the original owner a lot of suffering, because this is indeed something that a person with clear likes and dislikes would do.

This personality trait is also why Linlang doesn't really want to deal with him.

He is said to have strong likes and dislikes; he likes what pleases him and dislikes what doesn't.

However, what kind of person he finds pleasing and what kind of person he doesn't is entirely up to his whims, and that's unpredictable. Once he decides that you don't suit his taste—after all, this Section Chief Wang's values ​​aren't necessarily all correct, and they might not be entirely compatible with Linlang's—then if he decides that Linlang doesn't suit his taste one day, she'll likely be in big trouble. That's just how he is; if he likes you, he'll treat you exceptionally well, but if he doesn't like you, he can treat you exceptionally badly. After all, he's a person who clearly distinguishes between love and hate.

Linlang dreads dealing with such extreme individuals who either love you to death or hate you to death. Therefore, based on their personality alone, Linlang would never associate with them.

Feeling that Linlang's brain might have short-circuited, she actually rejected such a great opportunity. Section Chief Wang immediately advised, "Getting into the Publicity Department is a great opportunity that others would beg for. Think about it again."

Linlang waved her hand and said, "Thank you, Section Chief Wang, but I really don't plan to go. I just like being a worker who doesn't have to use his brain."

This is her honest opinion. She's exhausted and just wants to lie down and do some tedious, repetitive things.

Seeing that Linlang repeatedly refused, Section Chief Wang didn't continue. After all, it was such a joyous occasion, yet someone refused it. What was there to say to such a fool? He shook his head and left.

Although Linlang's seat was in a secluded spot, the cafeteria was packed with people, and the tables were close together. In addition, Section Chief Wang didn't speak in a low voice, so everyone around could hear what the two of them were saying. When they saw Linlang finish her meal quickly and leave, they couldn't help but start talking about it.

"Which workshop does this girl work in? How can she be so foolish as to turn down a chance to become a manager?"

"Exactly, I can't be a cadre, so I have no choice. But she can be and she still doesn't want to? Isn't that stupid? Did she get her brain caught in a door?"

"Without even discussing it with your family, you made this decision on your own and turned down such a good opportunity?"

Everyone was talking about it, feeling sorry for Linlang.

Linlang has no regrets.

Leaving aside the original owner's memories, even for herself, she wouldn't want to be a propaganda officer racking her brains to write promotional articles. Writing promotional articles is so hard work; it's nothing compared to the ease of tightening screws. If she could, she'd actually like to be an archivist in the archives, a primary school teacher in the factory-run primary school, or even work in the Women's Federation or the library—all easy jobs.

She now prefers jobs that pay well but don't require much work; the more leisurely, the better.

Linlang will try to find a way to transfer to one of these mediocre positions later.

When they got home from get off work that day, the Li family had already heard from others that the head of the publicity department at the electronics factory had asked Linlang to go to the publicity department, and that Linlang had refused. Li's father was so angry that he scolded her.

"You child, why didn't you discuss this with us before making this decision on your own? The publicity department is so good, and the workshop is so hard-working."

Linlang said, "The workshop is pretty good too. We are paid by piecework. As long as you are quick and efficient, you can earn a lot."

Although most jobs in this era are paid with fixed wages, piece-rate wages are still available in electronics factories for assembly line work like this.

However, to prevent a large wage gap between quick and slow workers, piece-rate wages are capped. As long as you don't slack off, you can get the capped wage.

This can be considered a small innovation, which can prevent the "iron rice bowl" mentality and the resulting laziness, while also preventing the workers from working too hard.

The original owner always received the maximum salary.

Now Linlang is in charge. Linlang checked and found that as long as you don't slack off, you can get the maximum salary. The management is quite lenient.

Linlang thought the work in the workshop was good, but Li's father obviously didn't think so.

"It's only a few dollars more. Being a propaganda officer is like being a cadre, sitting comfortably in an office. Isn't that much more comfortable than working in a workshop?"

Linlang grew impatient with the argument and frowned, saying, "I love doing this job."

Seeing her insistence, Li's father was angry but couldn't do anything about it, so he said, "Those who don't listen to their elders will suffer the consequences!"

Meanwhile, the original owner's sister-in-law fanned the flames, saying, "Even if Linlang doesn't want this job, she can take it first and then exchange it for a workshop job. With such a good job, if you exchange it for a workshop job, the other party would give you several hundred yuan. It's such a pity that you're just throwing away so much money."

After hearing what his sister-in-law said, Li's father clearly believed her and became angry again, wanting to scold Linlang once more.

Linlang was speechless after hearing her sister-in-law's words. She said, "Do you think this job is my personal job, that I can change it whenever I want? If I dare to change, I have to see if that Section Chief Wang is willing. If he is not willing, what if he turns around and fires me after I switch with someone else? Wouldn't I have worked for nothing?"

Given that Section Chief Wang's personality, if she dared to do that, he definitely wouldn't give her a spot in the propaganda department, and he would hate her to death. Who knows, he might cause her trouble in the future. She didn't want to provoke that person and get into trouble.
