Chapter 755: Chapter 756: 60s Siheyuan 4_1

After a good breakfast, Zhang Li rode her bicycle to take Zhang Yu to school.

Just because the Zhang family lived in a big house and owned two bicycles, anyone would want to pounce and take a bite; they truly were the existence of a fat sheep.

After dropping Zhang Li off at school, Zhang Yu went to the street office to find Director Wang.

The street office staff greeted her simply, after all, it was really rare to see someone whose parents had both passed away in succession.

Zhang Yu greeted everyone in return before entering the director’s office.

Director Wang had just arrived at the office and was about to start work when he saw Zhang Yu, looking a bit surprised, "Zhang Yu, you?"

"Director Wang, I have a favor to ask of you." Zhang Yu knew Director Wang was busy with work and got straight to the point.

Director Wang of course knew the two from the Zhang family, but with three jobs in his hands, there certainly were people who were envious.

Director Wang knew that there were quite a few people eyeing the job Zhang Yu held, even the director himself had thoughts about it.

Who didn’t have a few relatives without jobs, and the work at the steel rolling mill was truly a good job, a key subordinate unit.

It’s just now, with the shortage of materials, the welfare benefits of the steel rolling mill had decreased quite a bit, otherwise, the items given out during the holidays were really enviable.

Even now, when many units’ canteens had long been closed, the steel rolling mill’s canteen was just short of one dinner.

Director Wang was tempted, but Zhang Yu’s asking price was not low, "You don’t want money, just to renovate the house?"

"Yes." Zhang Yu could feel Director Wang’s temptation, but she had no intention of lowering her demands.

"There are only me and my sister at home. Someone’s eyeing the money from the job sale and the company’s compensation."

"It’s just the two of us girls at home..." She didn’t say more, but everyone could guess the rest.

Director Wang also thought of this, two young children holding a fortune, what’s the difference between that and a child holding gold in a busy market?

"And we live right by the main gate, with compensation money at home, and the matter of selling the job, it will definitely spread."

"So, I want to properly renovate our house."

"Plant cacti on the surrounding wall or something."

Director Wang kept nodding, "I understand."

"I will take this matter to heart and help make some inquiries," Director Wang wasn’t sure what his relatives might think.

The job was good, but the price was high, he believed that such a good job would surely tempt someone.

"Thank you, Director, I will go to the steel rolling mill to report today, and if anyone asks me, I will mention it." This was meant as a clarification, especially since there were more people interested at the steel rolling mill.

Director Wang listened and realized that he had forgotten that there were even more interested people at the steel rolling mill.

He had been thinking of talking to his relatives after work, but now he thought waiting until evening might be too late.

After seeing Zhang Yu off, Director Wang quickly told his colleagues and rode his bicycle home at speed.

Zhang Yu rode her bicycle to the steel mill, where she was of course stopped by the gatekeeper.

"Hello, I’m Zhang Yu, here to report for work today." The gatekeeper and the people from the security section of course knew who Zhang Yu was.

Hearing she had come to report, they knew that the Zhang family must have an extra job available, and people from the security section were tempted.

Zhang Yu, properly registered, went first to the labor and personnel section to register her details; the head of the labor and personnel section was not surprised to see Zhang Yu, "Chief Feng from the finance section has long been hoping for a professional in finance to help out."

The labor and capital chief handed the qualifications in his hand to the clerk below for review. Zhang Yu, as a third-generation factory employee, of course, knew the documents couldn’t be falsified.

Everyone knew that Zhang Yu attended a finance technical school. If she weren’t a child from the steel rolling factory, it might not have been her turn.

The onboarding procedures were quickly completed. Normally, a single clerk from the labor and capital department would suffice for the onboarding of newcomers.

This time, for Zhang Yu’s entry, naturally, the head of the labor and capital department accompanied her to the finance department.

Zhang Yu didn’t think it was because she still had the favor of Zhang Hao and his wife. It should be for the job that Zhang Hao left behind.

As she expected, the labor and capital chief went to a place that was open but also convenient for whispering and talked about all kinds of things.

In the end, he directly asked, "Little Zhang, now that you’ve come to report to the steel rolling factory and joined the finance department, what about your parents’ jobs?"

"The job in the logistics department my mother held, I want to save it for my sister, although she’s still studying. But I also know where she’ll be assigned after graduation, and I hope she can work in the same factory as me."

The labor and capital chief felt that this request was reasonable. Everyone had previously analyzed and felt that Zhang Yu would likely make this request.

"And your father’s job?" the labor and capital chief couldn’t help but become anxious, after all, it was a driver’s position.

Zhang Yu was very straightforward, stating her demand plainly, "Whoever can meet it, I’ll give the job to them."

"I also mentioned it today to the people at the sub-district office," Zhang Yu hinted, implying there was an opportunity not just within the steel rolling factory.

The labor and capital chief was truly startled by the demand Zhang Yu made; he had originally thought that since Zhang Yu was a young girl, and had been well taken care of by Zhang Hao and his wife, she would be easier to deal with.

But now it seemed that he had thought too much. This young girl was really not simple; not only was the steel rolling factory eyeing her, but the sub-district office was as well.

"Let me think about it." He had initially thought about whether he could settle things with three or five hundred yuan.

But now, it seemed that he shouldn’t even dream about three or five hundred. Even eight hundred might not be enough to settle the matter.

Yet to miss this opportunity would be too unsatisfactory, the labor and capital chief thought it over and said, "Little Yu, I’ll go back and discuss it with my family."

"No worries, first come, first served." There was no holding opportunities for anyone, the main principle was first come, first served.

The labor and capital chief got the result he wanted and took her to the finance department. After a brief introduction, he left promptly.

Chief Feng, seeing the labor and capital chief leave in a hurry, was quite surprised, "What’s with Old Zheng, leaving in such a rush?"

"He probably wants to go back and discuss things." She hinted at the discussion they had on the way there.

With a new person joining the finance department, and especially someone as watched as Zhang Yu, everyone put down their work to greet the newcomer.

Unexpectedly, the newcomer had given them a huge surprise just as she arrived.

Some people were still thinking about how to get closer to Zhang Yu to secure the job. But they did not anticipate that she would play her cards unconventionally, directly stating her demands.

"Isn’t this demand a bit too high?" someone exclaimed.

Some nodded in agreement, while others remained silent, quietly waiting for the situation to unfold.

Was this demand too high? "No worries, I’m not in a hurry," she said.

"Director Wang from the sub-district office is aware of my family’s situation and said he would help make inquiries."

When everyone heard this, whether they were casting a wide net in the steel rolling factory or even involving the sub-district office, they were stunned.

They initially thought about uniting to have a good talk with the young girl, persuading her not to ask for such a high price. Now, who would dare to say so?

They might be able to unite within the factory, but outside of it, they were powerless.
