Chapter 188 Recruitment Disturbances
The next day, when Ji Sisi arrived at the office, the newspaper was already on the table.

Aside from the red-themed information, the newspaper mainly reported on the achievements and breakthroughs of local state-owned factories, as well as some small anecdotes and case studies.

The newspaper layout is simple, with eye-catching headlines that take up one-third of the space.

The small print is dense and compact; my eyes start to tire after just five or six minutes of reading, especially since everything is now printed in uniform black and white.

Ji Sisi set her sights on small cases, and the first thought that flashed through her mind was to get published in the newspaper by doing charity work.

Opening the drawer, taking out the ledger, and seeing the profit, my thoughts were immediately dispelled.

All the profits were used to buy new machines, and now, after deducting the final payment, there is only two thousand yuan left in the account.

Ji Sisi closed the newspaper. It seemed she could only wait until the beef jerky and beef sauce started generating revenue before considering it again.

With recruitment starting tomorrow, Ji Sisi took Ma Xiaoqin to select people.

The factory has now added a written test to prevent people from falsifying their academic credentials and getting away with it. In the future, food factories will only become more and more strict in their recruitment, and having a diploma will be the most basic requirement.

As soon as I got down there, I heard a lot of noise.

"Why should educated youth be allowed to sign up? Wasn't the purpose of educated youth going to the countryside to be reformed and receive education? Why are they going to compete with us farmers for our livelihoods?"

One of the male comrades saw the educated youth standing on the other side and had been dissatisfied with it for a long time.

The educated youth over there all lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.

"Stop arguing, everyone. Anyone who wants to sign up, come over and register and fill out the forms." Ma Xiaoqin came downstairs with the forms and called out, her voice completely drowning out the man's.

Everyone swarmed around, and Ma Xiaoqin roared, "Line up! One by one, it's not like whoever gets the order first gets the job."

The form was a simple survey drafted by Ji Sisi.

The older ones would scratch their heads and look at the forms, while the younger ones would find a place to fill them out. The educated youth were writing furiously, and ninety percent of them were educated people.

The form contains only five questions: name, age, family members, education level, and personal skills.

The educated youth and commune members were separated.

Ji Sisi sat to the side watching Ma Xiaoqin organize the writing. She put aside the ones with six out of ten characters written incorrectly.

In the end, half of the thirty people were selected, with commune members making up two-thirds and educated youth making up one-third.

After Ma Xiaoqin finished reading the admission list, the man from before became dissatisfied again and started to lead the commotion.

“Manager Ji, I know you value talent, but aren’t you going against the orders of our superiors? Educated youth shouldn’t have jobs in the first place; they should be working honestly. Now you’re letting half of them take our positions. Isn’t that a bit unreasonable?”

The commune members had few opportunities to go to the county town, knew little about the outside market, and were unaware that the food factory was already famous outside.

They only knew that the food factory was small and couldn't compare to the large state-owned factories with hundreds of employees outside. In their minds, the large factories outside had been mythologized.

The room fell silent, and someone went to pull the man away.

"Why are you saying all this? Manager Ji must have her own plans."

"What kind of plans do they have? They just value the connections of the educated youth's families. What's wrong with that? We farmers can't possibly match the connections those capitalists' descendants have in our entire lives. Even if we fall from grace, we still can't match what their ancestors accumulated over several generations."

The man was furious, believing that those five educated youths had stolen his spot.

"Liu Daqiang, what nonsense are you spouting? This has nothing to do with capital. If you can't speak properly, then get back home."

An argument broke out in the factory, and a foreman who happened to be watching the commotion stepped forward to speak up for Ji Sisi.

"Comrade, you've misunderstood. None of the people we're hiring for this time are for sales positions." Ji Sisi said calmly, instructing Ma Xiaoqin to collect the interviewees' information. While Liu Daqiang was arguing and making a fuss, Ji Sisi had already arranged the personnel and written down the corresponding job assignments on the list.

Ma Xiaoqin put away the documents. "Alright, everyone, you can all leave now. Those whose names I just called, come with me."

“I’m not talking nonsense. These five spots should have been for the remaining fifteen of us. Now the educated youth in the commune have been corrupted by your factory. They don’t work properly and are only thinking about how to get into the factory to enjoy themselves.”

Liu Daqiang wouldn't give up until he got what he wanted. "Manager Ji, don't leave. You have to give us an explanation today."

“Comrade, the decision to let educated youth come to work must have been made after communicating with and approving with the leaders. You can’t take your anger out on Manager Ji just because you weren’t hired. You can use this time to go back and learn a few more words. You can come back next time and it will be the same.”

Ma Xiaoqin's truth angered Liu Daqiang.

"Conditions in the countryside are tough. It's not that I don't want to study; it's that we don't have the resources! Anyway, Manager Ji must give us an explanation today!"

The fifteen people who were not admitted also began to complain and started to echo Liu Daqiang's sentiments.

"Comrades, please calm down. The sun is strong right now, and it's hard for everyone to feel comfortable and easily become impulsive if we stay in the sun for too long. Let's go inside and talk about what we need to say."

Ji Sisi, supporting her stomach, felt a little dizzy from standing in the sun for so long. She squinted at the dozen or so people who were unwilling to give up.

"I've done farm work for twenty years, I'm not that precious, this little bit of sun is nothing!"

Seeing that a soft approach wouldn't work, Ji Sisi had no choice but to offer a brief explanation.

"The job posting notes state that educated youth are temporary workers, not permanent employees. You already surpass them by a large margin in this respect. Moreover, for the factory to develop, it will inevitably need the help and guidance of educated people. As I just repeated, this recruitment is not for sales positions and has nothing to do with personal connections!"

"Besides, when educated youth come to the commune, not only do they come, but their household registrations also come with them. In a sense, they are also part of the commune, so why can't they participate in the recruitment?"

"That's my explanation. I have other things to attend to. Please make yourselves at home."

If it weren't inconvenient to disclose the results, Ji Sisi really wanted to use the results to slap these people in the face, making them more directly confront the impact of connections and resources.

The performance of the educated youth group was almost nonexistent, and while others didn't say anything, these people actually started making a fuss.

After Ji Sisi finished speaking, she prepared to go upstairs to rest for a while.

"What nonsense about development considerations! You're not leaving until you explain yourself clearly today." Liu Daqiang rushed forward and grabbed Ji Sisi's wrist.

Ji Sisi was violently hit, lost her balance, and fell backward. Fortunately, Liu Daqiang grabbed her wrist and pulled her up from the air to stand still.

When she met Liu Daqiang's fierce gaze again, Ji Sisi was terrified, and her heart pounded wildly.

The crowd erupted in uproar, and Ma Xiaoqin and the factory employees rushed out.

"Liu Daqiang, let him go! Are you out of your mind?!"

"Manager Ji is heavily pregnant. Don't act impulsively. What if you hurt someone?"

Looking at her hand, which was red from being gripped, Ji Sisi repeated coldly, "Let's talk this out. Let me go first."

Liu Daqiang still wouldn't let go.

"Manager Ji, I know you're from the city too, so you look down on us farmers."

Snapped--

Ji Sisi's other hand was still free, and without hesitation, she slapped Liu Daqiang across the face.
