Chapter 563: Chapter 564 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 81_1

Indeed, when the time comes, if Shen Jianshe and his wife both come over, and if the interview goes well and they succeed in getting the job, that’s great; if not, we can just treat it as an initial visit to Capital City. No problem either way.

Shen Jianshe and his wife, who were packing up at home, received a phone call instructing them to rush to Capital City. They were told that jobs had been found for both of them, and that the jobs were at a university.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jianshe felt dizzy. When he returned home and saw Zhang Yamei, he excitedly mentioned the news to her.

Zhang Yamei also felt worried—why the rush to call Shen Jianshe to Capital City? What could have happened?

She never expected the reason to be job-related. "What did you say? Xiao Jie found you a job in the finance department of a school?"

Shen Jianshe kept nodding, "Yes, in the university’s finance department. I didn’t ask for details."

"Also, Xiao Jie found you a job at the same university, it’s just that you would be working in the logistics department," he added.

What? She was nearly 50 years old, at retirement age, could she still work at a university?

Zhang Yamei looked at Shen Jianshe in confusion, wondering if she had misunderstood.

"I asked, and they said that working in university logistics allows for retirement at 55, and the job would be relocated to Capital City."

This was the aspect Shen Jianshe was most satisfied with, "This way, we can settle in Capital City long-term. If we get sick or something, we can get reimbursed."

One of the biggest problems with living away from home is the cost of medicine if you get sick.

Now, that concern was no longer an issue. They could work in Capital City and get medical expenses reimbursed.

Lady Shen Li went out today to meet with old friends, making the most of her time before moving to Capital City to spend some moments with them.

Once she reached Capital City, she didn’t know if she’d be able to see them again.

When she found out that her granddaughter had called home, she thought something serious had happened, so she hurried back.

Upon entering the house, she was stunned by the good news, "Are they that short-staffed in Capital City?"

Shen Jianshe and his wife shook their heads, "We don’t know."

"Xiao Jie said it was her boyfriend who helped find the jobs," remembered Shen Jianshe, recalling the kids coming back this time, mentioning their romantic relationships.

They were absolutely satisfied with their younger son’s girlfriend, Feng Dan. They had watched her grow up.

Although Feng’s house wasn’t always the best in conduct, having a good daughter-in-law was enough.

As for Shen Jie’s boyfriend, Shen Jianshe and his wife were quite conflicted. They hadn’t given much thought to how their future son-in-law should be.

They never imagined that their daughter would find such an impressive son-in-law.

Even though Shen Jie always said that Huo Lei was Huo Lei, that the Huo Family’s power and status had nothing to do with him, that he wanted to work hard on his own,

Shen Jianshe and his wife didn’t quite believe her words. Even if it wasn’t the same System, he could at least lend a hand once or twice.

Upon learning that it was Shen Jie’s boyfriend who referred them for the jobs, Lady Shen Li fell silent for a moment, "No matter what, the child is taking Xiao Jie to heart."

If he didn’t care for her, he wouldn’t bother himself with whether her parents had jobs or not.

Shen Jianshe sighed softly, "Yes, that’s true."

"What worries me, though, is that right now he likes Xiao Jie and of course treats her very well, but what if his feelings change someday."

Being a man himself, Shen Jianshe knew too well about men’s flaws—a man shouldn’t be given too high expectations.

"You always have to think negatively," Lady Shen Li said, clearly disapproving of her son’s comment.

"Moreover, you should trust that you might not have confidence in Xiao Jie’s boyfriend, but you shouldn’t lose confidence in Xiao Jie," she added.

Lady Shen Li used to worry a lot too, but ever since her granddaughter went to the Northeast, and she saw the changes in her, she knew the young girl had changed a lot.

"They went to the Northeast together as ’educated youth,’ then took the college entrance exam together and went to Capital City for university."

"They really understand each other well."

"Furthermore, you should be happy that at least Xiao Jie’s boyfriend is reliable."

"Imagine if she found a classmate who came to Capital City from somewhere else—you wouldn’t know whether he had been married in the countryside and had children."

Although she thought that Huo Lei’s family background might be too good, once the child had made her choice, what else could be done?

Thinking differently, Lady Shen Li felt that Shen Jie’s choice was not bad at all, "What if she chose a man with a history of marriage and children, what then?"

"Now that Xiao Jie’s boyfriend has found you jobs, you better go for the interview quickly."

Lady Shen Li made arrangements promptly, "It might not be urgent, but how can one not be?"

Such good jobs are coveted by many. "Moreover, once you go there, make sure to secure the jobs quickly, then transfer your files there."

By then, no matter what happens here, it will no longer concern Shen Jianshe.

There is no need to worry about some people who can’t accept defeat and might tamper with retirement benefits.

Shen Jianshe knew that the current chief accountant wasn’t that competent and was bound to cause trouble sooner or later, "If we leave, what about you, Mom?"

He never expected that one indeed should not have too much confidence in that person, who truly was incredibly troublesome; even the old chief of the finance department was only looking forward to retiring as soon as possible.

It was simply too difficult to lead; no sooner was one issue resolved than another sprang up.

Shen Jianshe knew that this old chief waiting for retirement wasn’t very capable—it had only been through his work and support that the chief could look good.

Now, without him to back the chief up, and with others stirring trouble, it’s easy for problems to arise.

Shen Jianshe was somewhat panicked, "Okay, let’s go buy the train tickets immediately."

The sooner the job is secured, the sooner the whole family can move to Capital City.

Neighbours noticed Shen Jianshe receive a phone call, after which the couple, with luggage in hand, hurried off to Capital City.

Curious, some inquired with the old lady staying at home if she knew anything.

Lady Shen Li mentioned that there was an errand to run in Capital City. As for more details, she didn’t divulge.

The chief of the finance department never imagined that he, on the cusp of retirement, could be so busy.

He distinctly remembered his predecessor had nothing to do six months before retirement except wait for the retirement procedures to be completed.

He thought he would be treated the same way. Yet, to his shock, even though he was also waiting for retirement, he could end up so busy.

Most frightening was the possibility that a single mistake could ruin his reputation.

At this moment, he truly missed Shen Jianshe and regretted not insisting more previously. If he had stood by his initial agreement, unwilling to accept an ’airdropped’ chief in the finance department, perhaps he could have spent these days more comfortably.

Now, he couldn’t care less about giving that leader face; he just wanted to retire peacefully without any further trouble.

When Shen Jianshe returns, he must make him come back to work, as for what happens after that, he can’t be concerned too much.

He hadn’t considered at all whether Shen Jianshe would definitely come back to work, had he?

In his eyes, even if one was a retired worker, they were still part of the factory, part of the unit. If the unit needed him, he should come back to work.
