Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

Page 154

Indeed, as Director Wang said, this is the best way to solve this problem at this stage, without exception.

That is indeed the case, but they are still somewhat unwilling to sacrifice some of their own interests.

Just as Director Zhang said, what does Qin Huairu's matter have to do with them?

However, on the other hand, what if Director Wang really reports this matter to his superiors?

The higher-ups will definitely carry out Director Wang's ideas.

It's impossible for the neighborhood committee to find just anyone a job that they can hold for a long time.

This is something the neighborhood committee could never accomplish.

In the end, it might just be as Director Wang said: they'll still have to come up with some money.

We'll pay Qin Huairu her salary then, so she can survive.

"Since no one is speaking, let's vote by raising our hands. We have five people now. Raising your hand means you agree, and not raising your hand means you disagree."

After Director Wang finished speaking, he raised his hand and looked at everyone present, who were also at a loss for what to do.

Two of them slowly raised their hands, while the other two remained silent.

"Three votes to two, so this matter is approved. This afternoon I will talk to Qin Huairu and ask her to come to our street office to clean. She will be paid ten yuan a month."

“We’ll each contribute 1.5 yuan, and we’ll try to scrape together the rest from other sources to minimize everyone’s losses. It’ll be at most two months, so we hope everyone can grit their teeth and hold on.”

After Director Wang finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief and left the meeting room.

The four people sitting in the meeting room were unwilling, but they had no choice.

If jobs were so easy to find, their relatives' children would have already been provided with employment.

They won't just sit at home with nothing to do.

in the afternoon.

The neighborhood office had just opened in the afternoon when Qin Huairu was already standing at the entrance right on time.

In the afternoon, the young male employee guarding the gate was the same one who had been there in the morning. He saw Qin Huairu.

The male employee's face revealed a hint of disdain and contempt, not very obvious, but Qin Huairu still noticed it.

Qin Huairu remained silent and waited inside.

A short while later, Director Wang also hurriedly came over from home.

Upon seeing Qin Huairu, Director Wang could only sigh inwardly.

"You're here quite early. Come on, let's go to my office. We've already come up with a solution to your problem. Let me explain it to you briefly."

After Director Wang finished speaking, he turned and headed to his office, while Qin Huairu followed silently behind him without saying a word.

Inside the office.

"Qin Huairu, you know your current situation. First, you are pregnant, so you can't do a lot of heavy physical work. Second, you don't have any academic qualifications or special skills."

“Your situation is very special and quite difficult. After discussion and negotiation this morning, we finally came up with a solution, but it depends on whether you can accept it. If not, then I really can’t help you.”

Director Wang took a sip of tea and spoke calmly.

"Director Wang, I have no other requests. I just want my children to have food to eat and be able to survive."

Qin Huairu looked exhausted, as if the troubles at home had left her worn out and aged her several years...

Director Wang has seen too many people, including people like Qin Huairu.

I couldn't be bothered to expose Qin Huairu's performance.

“Our subdistrict office is short of a temporary cleaner, for about two months. Next year, the subdistrict office will have a new hiring standard, so you can work as a cleaner in the subdistrict office for the next two months.”

"Normally, as long as you keep the office building corridors clean, there's nothing else to worry about. Your monthly salary isn't high or low; ten yuan is barely enough for your family's expenses."

Director Wang had already calculated the salary he would give Qin Huairu, considering her two children and the fact that she was pregnant.

Ten yuan a month is enough to live on if you are frugal and eat only ordinary meals every day.

Of course, if you want to buy meat, it definitely won't be enough.

But the neighborhood committee isn't a saint; how could they possibly give a large portion of their salary to someone they have no connection with?

It's already quite an achievement to be able to give even a little bit.

It's worth noting that there were two people who were very unwilling during the morning meeting.

I only paid the money because I was forced to by work.

Upon hearing Director Wang's words, Qin Huairu's expression changed slightly, but it was not obvious.

It's a form of income, more or less, and I have a job that looks somewhat respectable, so that's enough.

Although it's only a two-month temporary job, let's get through this difficult hurdle 2.1 first.

"I will follow your arrangements, Director Wang. Since this is a decision made by you and the leaders, I will definitely listen to it. As long as I have money, I can feed my children at home."

Qin Huairu said, her voice choked with emotion.

"You don't need to pay back the two yuan I gave you this morning. Consider it a personal donation from me. Your monthly salary is paid around the 15th. You can just go to the finance department to collect it then."

"If there's anything else you don't understand, feel free to ask me. I have some meetings and things to do this afternoon, so let's stop here for now. Come find me if you need anything else later."

Director Wang was also eager to get rid of Qin Huairu, as he really didn't want to talk to her anymore.

This matter is already giving me a huge headache.

Chapter 192 He Yuzhu, Disliked by Everyone

Even in the afternoon, He Yuzhu was still diligently cleaning the steel rolling mill.

Originally, all of this was the responsibility of an old man, but now, he can rest while still getting paid.

The world achievement was achieved with only He Yuzhu injured.

No matter how much dissatisfaction he had, He Yuzhu dared not show it.

On the one hand, a steel rolling mill is indeed a place where one can have an "iron rice bowl" (guaranteed job).

On the other hand, I don't know any other leaders right now, so if I leave the steel rolling mill rashly like this...

How I'll survive is a problem, but at the very least I should make use of Director Yang one more time.

Get to know more leaders so that when you have a new place to go and a new backer, you can do so.

It's better to abandon this steel rolling mill; we should be a little more submissive for now.

The workers in several workshops had finished their work for the day and were a bit tired, so they came out for a smoke.

Seeing He Yuzhu cleaning up the bathroom, he pinched his nose and quickly left.

I walked to the side and found a spot where there was a breeze, at least the stench was gone.

"What were our leaders thinking, making He Yuzhu clean the toilets and the yard? It's disgusting! He probably has the worst smell in the whole steel mill. It's really bad luck!"

The worker, who lit a cigarette, spoke without any hesitation.

There was no other reason, just one simple thing: every time I got food from He Yuzhu's window.

He Yuzhu would deliberately give them less food, even though the food belonged to the public.

However, He Yuzhu only gave more food to people he was close to.

For workers who are not very familiar with the area, their meal portions are about one-fifth less than others each time.

Everyone was doing physical labor, and the exertion from just one morning was considerable.

He Yuzhu's approach of waiting for a full meal at noon has greatly dissatisfied many workers.

However, since He Yuzhu was working in the kitchen at the time, even if they were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to cause trouble for He Yuzhu.

Now that they've been given such a great opportunity, everyone is naturally going to give He Yuzhu a good scolding.

They can say the most hurtful things.

Now, He Yuzhu is just a toilet cleaner and a factory cleaner.

"Who can argue with that? It's quite intriguing that a cook would do something like this instead of doing his job properly. Perhaps the nickname 'Silly Pillar' isn't just for show!"

Another employee also burst into laughter.

"It's a shame that we have to go further away to smoke afterwards, the smell is just too strong. Do you remember that day in the cafeteria? I wanted to go up to him and smash a pot and pan on him."

"It's disgusting. Everyone is so tired, yet we have to smell this when we eat in the cafeteria."

The third worker also spoke indignantly.

He Yuzhu heard everything clearly from the side; the three people were speaking loudly without any attempt to conceal their voices.

Even from some distance, it could be heard very clearly, and when He Yuzhu heard this, the veins on his head bulged.

I felt an urge to rush up and fight those three smoking guys.

In the end, He Yuzhu calmed down and realized that he couldn't cause any more trouble.

Originally, there was only a punishment, at most three months, and after that, I would still be the head of the kitchen.

It's not too late to retaliate against them then; what if I take action now?

If Li Xiangdong and his gang find something to use against me then, I'll be punished even more severely.
