Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

So Liu Guangtian has been very upset recently. He is looking for a job. He originally thought that Director Wang could arrange one for him, but when he asked, he found out that it was impossible.

Even in times of hardship, Liu Guangtian had to stand aside in front of the families of martyrs and those truly in need. The most the subdistrict office could do was rent him an apartment, but he still had to find a job on his own.

He was so anxious these days that his mouth was covered with blisters. Today, Jiang Yang's enlistment notice came, which reminded him that he could definitely join the army.

Food and accommodation are provided, and there is a future. Maybe after two years you will be assigned a job or even become a leader.

"Why didn't I sign up in the first place?"

Liu Guangtian was filled with regret and wished he could put it back on and slap himself a few times.

"After I told you the news that day, you said you might die if you joined the army, so you didn't sign up."

Liu Guangfu added another comment from the side.

"you!"

Liu Guangtian was a little embarrassed. Okay, it was true that he didn't sign up at that time because he was afraid of death, but at that time he didn't know that he couldn't rely on his parents after he turned 18.

"Brother, what will we do when you turn 18 in two months? We don't have the money to buy a job."

Liu Guangfu asked worriedly. He is 16 this year and will be 18 in two years. He will probably be kicked out of the house and have to support himself.

Liu Guangtian had no idea. A job could cost seven or eight hundred yuan, or even thousands of yuan. How could they afford so much money? Even if they had money, they might not be able to buy it.

"Where can I get some money?"

Ideas for torture and handcuffing emerged one after another in Liu Guangtian's mind, but he rejected them all one by one.

Putting aside whether he has the courage or not, he doesn't even have the skill to sneak in and pick the lock. In the entire courtyard, only Sha Zhu knows this.

The two brothers looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

Ugh.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai led Banggeng to the backyard and saw the dejected Liu brothers.

"Guangtian Guangfu, what's wrong with you two? You look so listless."

Although the last quarrel was very unpleasant, there is no real hatred between neighbors. They see each other every day, not to mention that they are a generation apart.

Liu Guangtian was the same. Although he still felt uneasy, he still responded with a smile, "Uncle Yi, aren't you thinking about getting a job? You're almost 18, and it's time to start your own business."

Yi Zhonghai's mind moved, and a plan related to Jiang Fan came to his mind.

"Ah, job quotas, this is really difficult to find. It's a pity that I don't have any. If I did, I would have given it to you."

Liu Guangtian didn't care. If Yi Zhonghai had a job offer for him, then it had to be given to the Jia family.

But he still said, "Mr. Yi is really kind-hearted. He is worthy of being the best man in our courtyard."

"We're all neighbors, so we should help each other. It's just a job, and you're not refusing to pay. Plus, you two are having such a hard time right now, I believe anyone who sees this would be moved by kindness."

Chapter 327 Jiang Yue's Path

Yi Zhonghai specifically mentioned job quotas and neighbors. His meaning was self-evident. In the yard, only Jiang Fan and Xu Damao had job quotas.

Xu Damao’s has been sold, and everyone in this yard knows it, so the only one left is Jiang Fan’s.

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Liu Guangtian lowered his head and began to think, and it seemed that he had something in mind.

Yi Zhonghai was quite satisfied when he saw this. He just wanted to remind Liu Guangtian that there was someone in the yard who could help him.

As for Liu Guangtian, he did listen to it. He had also heard about the rewards offered by the steel rolling mill. At first he was just envious, but now he was really jealous.

"But how can I get them to help me? How about going to Director Wang and asking her to mediate on my behalf? At worst, I can write an IOU and repay the money monthly. With my abilities, Liu Guangtian, it shouldn't be difficult for me to get promoted to level five or six within two years."

As Liu Guangtian thought about this, a perverted expression appeared on his face.

However, it was already late today, so it would not be a good idea to go to the subdistrict office to find Director Wang, so he planned to go tomorrow.

As for Jiang Fan's refusal, Liu Guangtian had never thought about it. In his opinion, with Director Wang's help, how could he not succeed?

Not to mention he had a killer trick up his sleeve—so many people in your family have jobs, what's wrong with just contributing this one job? It's not like I'm not paying, at most I'll just give you a little more interest. We're all neighbors, can't you just consider it a good deed?

He believed that with Director Wang as his backer and the neighbors watching, Jiang Fan would definitely give up his job for the sake of face.

He had seen Yi Zhonghai deal with others this way before, and it always worked, except when dealing with Jiang Fan. However, he believed that Yi Zhonghai had no one to back him up, while Liu Guangtian had Director Wang as his backer. A mere Jiang Fan was no match for him.

On the other side, Jiang Yue looked at the job introduction letter and graduation certificate on the table and took a deep breath. He planned to start work at the steel rolling mill tomorrow.

By then he will be a worker too. I wonder what kind of job he will be assigned to?

Generally speaking, if you have a high school diploma or a technical secondary school diploma, you are qualified to be an official. If you have strong connections, a junior high school diploma will also be enough, but an elementary school diploma will not be enough.

Being an official also requires cultural literacy, of course, changing careers is another matter.

This was also the reason why Jiang Fan did not let Jiang Yue start work immediately after getting the job quota. After all, he did not have a diploma at that time. Even if he joined the factory, he would most likely work in the workshop. Even if he could operate it, it would give people a chance to talk about him. It would be better to wait for a while and enter the factory after getting his diploma.

With a diploma, you can be assigned a clerical job, which is much more promising than being a workshop worker and the work is easier.

Jiang Yue also meant the same thing. Anyway, working for two more months would only earn him a few dozen yuan, so it was totally unnecessary.

"I'll start work tomorrow, and my family will finally have a firm foothold in the city. But the debt I owe Brother Fan is growing. How will I ever pay him back?"

Jiang Yue smiled bitterly. Their family moved from the countryside to the city, and Jiang Fan's shadow was always behind their work arrangements, study arrangements, and even Jiang Dalei's marriage.

Now, Jiang Yang is serving in the army, and Jiang Fan is risking his life to catch the gold thieves, just so that he can be looked after by someone in the army and come back alive.

He has already arranged a job for himself before he even graduated. Where can you find a cousin like him? Even his biological father would be like this.

At this moment, Jiang Yue secretly made up his mind that since he had the qualifications to enter the official career, he would work hard to climb up slowly, and repay Brother Fan's kindness when he climbed to a high position.

But now, he needs to discuss with Jiang Fan which department to go to.

After the two of them conspired for half an hour, the result was finalized.

The next day.

Jiang Fan brought Jiang Yue to the personnel department of the steel rolling mill to handle their employment procedures.

Because Li Huaide had made advance arrangements, Jiang Yue was assigned to the logistics department without any hesitation. When asked about Jiang Yue's personal opinion, he chose the procurement department without hesitation.

This was the result of his discussion with Jiang Fan. The reason was that the Purchasing Department was the easiest to achieve results and accumulate merits. Moreover, the Purchasing Department, like the Technical Department, did not have a deputy section chief.

Under the strange gaze of the Personnel Department, Jiang Fan took Jiang Yue to the Purchasing Department.

"Jiang Yue, I don't understand officialdom. I don't understand the confrontations and innuendos. If you want to take this path, I can't help you much. The most I can do is provide you with some material support. Nothing else. You have to work hard on your own."

Jiang Fan was opposed to Jiang Yue's decision to pursue a career in politics. With no one to take care of his family, it would be difficult for him to pursue this path.

For example, Li Huaide and Yang Aiguo, even if they have the support of leaders in the department, they still have to work in the steel mill to gain experience.

And a few years later, the wind started to blow. During those ten years, Lao Li sat in the position of director of the steel rolling mill and did not dare to move up. Why?

Isn't it just that he's easily implicated? As the director of a steel mill, no one would pay attention to him, but if he joined the ministry, it would be a different story.

However, Jiang Yue insisted on doing so, saying that Jiang Dalei was a worker and the family was secure anyway, while Jiang Yang went to join the army and his future was unknown, so he, the third child, had to give it a try.

Looking at Jiang Yue's extremely determined eyes, Jiang Fan had no choice but to agree.

Everyone has their own aspirations, and he has no power to stop Jiang Yue from taking the path he wants to take.

If he had a position in the system in his previous life, he could have lived a life of idleness and free food. But he was not Jiang Yue, who had no idea of ​​retirement.

Then as his cousin, he can only try his best to support him.

When I arrived at the Personnel Department, the head of the Purchasing Department was Li Chaoyang, who was in his forties, a little overweight, and also Li Huaide's man.

When he learned that Jiang Yue came to the purchasing department on his own initiative, he was a little surprised, because the purchasing department was not a good place to be now.

In years of great disasters, it is extremely difficult to obtain supplies. Even after the disaster year is over, it will take two or three years to recover.

Therefore, the purchasing department is now almost in a retirement state, even Li Chaoyang is the same.

"Chief Li, long time no see."

"Brother Jiang Fan, it's been a long time since we last met. Come and sit down. This must be Comrade Jiang Yue, right? He's truly a handsome man."

Jiang Yue bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Chief. I am Jiang Yue. From now on, I will be your soldier. Please take good care of me."

"Okay, okay. You're Jiang Fan's cousin, so you're my cousin. We're all family. How can I not take care of you?"

After getting to know each other, Li Chaoyang began to briefly introduce the work content.

The Purchasing Department was divided into three groups. Group 1 was responsible for unplanned supplies. The factory paid for the purchases, and the staff went out to buy all sorts of supplies. The workload was quite intense. Of course, the factory provided bicycles and pistols for safety.

Groups 2 and 3 were different. They were responsible for connecting with other units for supplies, and their work was relatively easy, at least they didn't have to travel to the countryside. However, the staff of these two groups were not qualified for the job.

Jiang Yue was naturally assigned to Group 1 to purchase unplanned supplies.

Chapter 328: City Man Liu Guangtian

"Okay, go home and go to the neighborhood office first to get the necessary things done. You won't officially start work until tomorrow."

This is how work is now. On the first day, you receive some benefits, then take a certificate issued by the company to the street office to apply for food grain certificates and other things. You can only officially start work on the second day.

Jiang Fan asked, "You don't need me to accompany you?"

"No need, Brother Fan. I still know the way to the street office."

Jiang Yue refused. Since he wanted to enter the officialdom, he couldn't ask someone to accompany him even for such a small matter. That would be too useless.

Seeing that he understood what was going on, Jiang Fan nodded and walked him to the door.

Jiang Yue didn't stop and walked towards the street office.

At this moment, angry roars came from the office of Director Wang of the Street Office.

"Liu Guangtian, I really want to shoot you now!"

Director Wang’s angry voice made Liu Guangtian stand up from his chair. He didn’t understand why Director Wang was so angry.

"Director Wang, why are you so angry? I just want you to talk to Jiang Fan and ask him to sell me the job. It's not like I won't pay for it."

"Are you going to buy it? You just want me to snatch it away from you and pay it back in installments, one point at a time for 10 years! How dare you be so shameless!"

Director Wang pointed at Liu Guangtian's nose and cursed, "Jiang Fan's job quota was earned by him through a duel of wits and courage with criminals. It's his own, and no one can force him to give it up under any pretext."

"Also, buying and selling job quotas is forbidden. You actually instigated me to do this illegal thing. Liu Guangtian, you are very brave! Just for this reason, arresting you would be a light punishment."

Director Wang really doesn't understand why someone would be so stupid as to come to the director of the street office and talk about buying a job in person. Doesn't he know that this is explicitly prohibited?

It's okay for people to turn a blind eye to private transactions, after all, no one knows if they'll ever need it. But what does it mean when you bring it up in public?

To put it nicely, she is the director of the street office acting as a lobbyist, but to put it bluntly, people think she is robbing people.

Liu Guangtian was horrified. "Director Wang, I really didn't know this was illegal. I saw everyone else buying it, so I thought it was okay."

"Who's buying it? Who are you talking about? Tell me and I'll ask him."

Liu Guangtian was speechless. He knew Xu Damao had traded his job, but he didn't dare to tell anyone. The man was the section chief of the steel mill, and even if he did, he might not admit it.

"Director Wang, I'll be 18 in two months. What if my dad kicks me out of the house?"

"That's your family's business. It has nothing to do with me. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave."

Director Wang lowered his head to attend to official business, not wanting to bother with Liu Guangtian at all. He felt a surge of regret. How could he have been so blinded by his pitiful appearance that he failed to see what an unreasonable bastard he was? If he had known earlier, he should have let Liu Haizhong beat him to death.

Liu Guangtian didn't know that his image in Director Wang's heart had dropped to freezing point, and at the same time, he felt even more resentful towards Director Wang.

"I just asked you to say something for me, but you refused to do that. You're an official serving the people, bah!"

Unconsciously, Liu Guangtian's mentality gradually changed dramatically.

"You still haven't left!"

Liu Guangtian was so frightened that he immediately nodded and bowed, saying with a smile, "I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now."

As he walked out of the door, his expression changed instantly, becoming gloomy and full of resentment. "Bah, what a bullshit! Don't let me gain power one day, or else, hmph!"

Liu Guangtian failed to achieve his goal. He was extremely depressed when he thought that he might have to live a precarious life without enough food in two months.

At the same time, he cursed Liu Haizhong, Jiang Fan, Xu Damao and Director Wang in his heart.

He pushed all the responsibility onto them, saying that Liu Haizhong was not a good father, Jiang Fan and Xu Damao were not good neighbors, and that they didn't help him even when he was in such a difficult situation. He also scolded Director Wang for being ungrateful, saying that it was just a matter of standing up and saying a few words, but he refused to do it.

He blamed everyone and just didn't know how to look for the reason in himself.

As they walked out of the street office gate, Liu Guangtian and Jiang Yue happened to bump into each other and looked at each other.
