Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 869 Arrange a job for Wu Aifang!

After Wu Aiguo finished his phone call with Wu Aili, he called Wu Pingshan and told his father the news that Wu Aili was going to bring her boyfriend home that evening. Then he picked up his briefcase and walked out of the office.

"Comrade! Who are you looking for?" More than half an hour later, the jeep stopped in front of the Kyoto Sugar, Tobacco and Wine Company. The doorman saw Wu Aiguo, who was dressed in cadre clothes, and walked quickly to the window of the cab and asked Wu Aiguo politely.

When Wu Aiguo heard the doorman's question, he took out his work ID from his pocket and introduced himself to the doorman with a smile: "Uncle! I'm looking for Director Xia from your unit! Is he here?"

When the doorman learned of Wu Aiguo's purpose, he first took the work permit from Wu Aiguo. When he saw the photo on the permit and Wu Aiguo's position, he was shocked and politely introduced Wu Aiguo, "Director Wu! Hello! Our Director Xia just came back from outside. He should be in the office now."

After Wu Aiguo heard what the doorman had said, he took his work permit from him, picked up a cigarette and gave it to the doorman. Then he asked, "Uncle! Which office is Director Xia's? Can you tell me?"

When the doorman saw the Peony cigarettes Wu Aiguo handed him, his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly took the cigarette from Wu Aiguo, put it to his nose and smelled it, then put the cigarette between his ears and introduced it to Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! Our Director Xia's office is on the second floor of the building in front, the last office on the left."

After learning the exact location of Director Xia's office, Wu Aiguo thanked the doorman, waited for him to open the door, and then drove his jeep into the compound of Kyoto Sugar, Tobacco and Wine Company.

Wu Aiguo parked his car, picked up his briefcase, and followed the specific location the doorman told him. He quickly arrived at the door of an office on the innermost left of the second floor.

Wu Aiguo saw Director Xia sitting in the office looking at a report, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and politely asked Director Xia: "Director Xia! What are you busy with so early in the morning?"

Xia Changjiang, who was concentrating on reading the report, subconsciously raised his head when he heard the question coming from outside the office door. When he saw Wu Aiguo standing at the office door, he showed a surprised expression on his face. He quickly stood up from his desk and greeted Wu Aiguo enthusiastically: "When I got up this morning, I heard a magpie calling outside the window. I was wondering if something good was going to happen today. I didn't expect that it was Director Wu who came to visit!"

Xia Changjiang said this and greeted Wu Aiguo enthusiastically, "Director Wu! Please come in!"

After Wu Aiguo entered the office, Xia Changjiang immediately shouted to the office next door, "Xiao Song! Come here quickly."

After Wu Aiguo sat down on the sofa, a young man ran into Xia Changjiang's office and asked Xia Changjiang respectfully, "Director Xia! What do you want to talk to me about?"

When Xia Changjiang heard Xiao Song's question, he immediately ordered Xiao Song, "Xiao Song! Hurry up and make me a cup of tea. Use the bag of tea I bought two days ago."

When Xiao Song heard Xia Changjiang's instructions, he immediately followed Xia Changjiang's instructions, picked up the kettle and teacup beside him, and made tea for Wu Aiguo.

After Xiao Song helped Wu Aiguo make tea and left his office, Xia Changjiang asked Wu Aiguo enthusiastically, "Director Wu! How come you, the senior director, have time to come to my little temple today to inspect and guide my work?"

The Sugar, Tobacco and Wine Company is an enterprise under the Ministry of Commerce. Once, President Yan invited Wu Aiguo to dinner, and it was at that dinner that Wu Aiguo met Xia Changjiang.

When Wu Aiguo heard Xia Changjiang's question and thought about the purpose of his visit, he said to Xia Changjiang slowly, "Director Xia! I don't come to you for no reason. I want to ask you for a favor."

When Xia Changjiang heard Wu Aiguo's words, an expression of surprise appeared on his face. After all, he had heard a little about how capable Wu Aiguo was.

However, Wu Aiguo's presence in his office was undoubtedly an opportunity for Xia Changjiang to get closer to Wu Aiguo, so he quickly assured Wu Aiguo, "Director Wu! You are looking for my help because you think highly of me. If you have anything to ask, please ask. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."

After hearing Xia Changjiang's promise, Wu Aiguo did not beat around the bush and introduced Xia Changjiang with a smile, "Director Xia! The situation is like this. My sister is a technical secondary school student. She was going to graduate and get a job after one more year of study, but unexpectedly, her school suddenly suspended classes."

"I believe you should know the current situation outside. It's not a good idea to let her stay at home all the time, so I thought about arranging a temporary job for her. So I came here to ask you if your company is hiring temporary workers. I want to find her a temporary job in your company."

When Xia Changjiang learned of Wu Aiguo's purpose, he showed a surprised expression on his face and asked Wu Aiguo in confusion: "Director Wu! With your ability, it would be easy for you to find a job for your sister, right? Why did you choose our Sugar, Tobacco and Wine Company?"

Wu Aiguo heard Xia Changjiang's inquiry, and naturally he couldn't tell Xia Changjiang that he wanted to arrange Wu Aifang to the Sugar, Tobacco and Wine Company, and he valued the future prospects of the Sugar, Tobacco and Wine Company. Facing Xia Changjiang's inquiry, Wu Aiguo naturally couldn't tell Xia Changjiang that he was optimistic about the prospects of the Sugar, Tobacco and Wine Company, but he replied tactfully: "Director Xia! I believe you should also know what the situation is outside now. On the other hand, your company is much better than other units, so I thought about coming to your unit to ask for a job for my sister."

After hearing Wu Aiguo's explanation and thinking about what was happening in Kyoto City, Xia Changjiang felt that what Wu Aiguo said made sense, so he smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! It is my honor that you value our company, and your sister is also my sister. How could I let my sister come to our company as a temporary worker?"

"It just so happens that I have two clerk job quotas on hand. I will give you a letter of introduction now. You can bring your sister to our unit to report at any time."

When Wu Aiguo heard what Xia Changjiang said, he immediately thanked Xia Changjiang: "Director Xia! On behalf of my sister, thank you!"

When Xia Changjiang heard Wu Aiguo's thanks, he immediately smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! Look at what you said. Do we have to be so polite to each other?"

As he spoke, Xia Changjiang walked to the desk, took out a pen and a letter of introduction from the drawer, and while filling out the contents, he asked Wu Aiguo, "Director Wu! What's your sister's name?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Xia Changjiang's question, he immediately replied with a smile, "Director Xia! My sister's name is Wu Aifang, which is a grass radical and a direction radical."

When Xia Changjiang learned Wu Aifang's name, he quickly wrote her name on the letter of introduction with a pen, then picked up the seal in the drawer, stamped the unit's seal in the place of Wu Aifang's name, and then handed the letter of introduction to Wu Aifang.

Wu Aiguo took the letter of introduction from Xia Changjiang, took a careful look at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he put the letter of introduction into his briefcase and asked Xia Changjiang with a smile, "Director Xia! How many children do you have in your family?"

After seeing Wu Aiguo put away the letter of introduction, Xia Changjiang was about to improve his relationship with Wu Aiguo when Wu Aiguo suddenly asked him a question that made Xia Changjiang visibly stunned. He answered in confusion, "Director Wu! There are four children in my family. Two of them are good boys. The eldest is a soldier in the army. The second and third are both working. The fourth is seventeen years old this year. After finishing junior high school, he has been hanging out outside."

In order to repay Xia Changjiang for arranging a cadre position for his sister, Wu Aiguo heard Xia Changjiang's introduction and smiled and reminded Xia Changjiang: "Director Xia! If conditions permit, quickly arrange a job for your fourth child, even if it is a temporary job."

Before, Director Xia thought that Wu Aiguo helped his sister find a job because he wanted to arrange something for her to do. Now, when he heard Wu Aiguo's reminder, Xia Changjiang immediately realized that Wu Aiguo's finding a job for his sister might not be as simple as Wu Aiguo said.

Thinking of Wu Aiguo's power, Xia Changjiang immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and asked Wu Aiguo with a serious face: "Director Wu! Have you heard any rumors? Can you tell me more about it?"

When Wu Aiguo heard Xia Changjiang's question and thought about what was about to happen, he solemnly whispered to Xia Changjiang, "Director Xia! Because the school is closed, those young people are causing trouble everywhere outside every day. The higher-ups must not turn a blind eye to such things."

"So some people have suggested that young people should go to the countryside to help build the rural areas. As long as they are not the only son in the family and are unemployed, they will be drafted! Although we have passed the difficult period, I believe you also know what the countryside is like. For the sake of our families, we must prepare for a rainy day."

When Xia Changjiang heard what Wu Aiguo said, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. After all, even a man of Wu Aiguo's status and position had to find a way to arrange a job for his sister before the policy was released, which was enough to explain all the problems.

Thinking of his youngest son who was wandering outside all day, and his sister's two daughters, Xia Changjiang immediately thanked Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! Thank you for telling me such important news!"

When Wu Aiguo heard Xia Changjiang's thanks, he reminded Xia Changjiang, "Director Xia! You just need to know about this matter in your heart, but you must not tell anyone. Also, after I leave your office, I will not admit that I told you about this matter."

When Xia Changjiang heard Wu Aiguo's instructions, how could he not understand what Wu Aiguo wanted to convey? At the same time, he was secretly glad in his heart that he had arranged a cadre post for Wu Aiguo's sister, which made Wu Aiguo tell him the truth to thank him.

At this moment, Xia Changjiang immediately promised Wu Aiguo: "Director Wu! Don't worry, this matter is known to heaven, earth, you, and me. I will never tell anyone."

Wu Aiguo heard Xia Changjiang's promise, nodded with a smile, and said to Xia Changjiang: "Director Xia! Then I won't disturb you at work, I will go back to the unit first."
