Chapter 798: Chapter 799: 60s Siheyuan 47_1

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu had actually sold off the job directly, which was a shock to everyone; it had disrupted the calculations of some people.

"Zhang Yu, you actually sold your dad’s job?" Although this was against the rules, with many people doing it, and many leaders operating the same way, nothing would happen as long as the involved parties didn’t make a fuss.

Zhang Yu hummed an acknowledgment, "I thought that, under the same conditions, I’d sell it to a colleague from the rolling mill."

"But I didn’t expect that none of them wanted the job, so I sold it to someone else." Zhang Yu was also quite helpless.

"I’ve been working for several days now, and no one has come to me, and the driver’s position over there can’t wait for long."

"It just so happens that this family’s son has driven a tractor on a farm before." After briefly understanding the other party’s situation, Zhang Yu thought that although he had never driven a car, if he could drive a tractor, he should learn to drive a car more quickly.

The people in the finance department looked at each other in disbelief, they hadn’t mentioned this to Zhang Yu because she was unaware.

Unexpectedly, the others knew about this restriction too, and there were only a few days left before the deadline; surprisingly, she had managed to complete the task.

"Do I need to sign?" Zhang Yu remembered that she still needed to sign for this matter.

The people from the personnel department nodded, "Yes, you also need to sign."

After watching Zhang Yu leave, the finance department’s staff discussed again, "This time, really, the chickens have come home to roost."

The job of a rolling mill driver isn’t often available, and for the most part, drivers, even when retired, would keep it for their children, not sell it off.

It just so happened that Zhang Hao only had two daughters, and the couple had two jobs to leave behind, which made it possible to let go of one.

"It serves them right, they wanted the driver’s job but were unwilling to spend the money," someone frowned upon such behavior.

Zhang Yu knew that someone was coming to do the paperwork today and that the news would definitely spread quickly.

On her way to the personnel department, Zhang Yu encountered several office workers. Forgive her for just starting work and usually keeping in step with her colleagues in the finance department; she was truly not familiar with them.

As for their disgruntled or annoyed expressions, Zhang Yu simply ignored them; they were just some greedy characters, certainly not worth pitying.

Many people’s moods were quite bad now, mostly out of regret; they might say that Zhang Yu’s asking price was excessive and such, but

in fact, everyone knew that her price wasn’t high and was just a market price, often with more demand than supply.

They all understood the reasoning, but they were jealous of the two young ladies who had two jobs and lived in such a big house—why should they also be able to renovate?

So they tacitly agreed to pressure her into conceding, but in the end, the job was sold to a stranger for such a low price.

Many offices were filled with sighs. Such a good opportunity had been missed, and looking forward to a similar job opportunity in the future would be difficult.

The head of the personnel department sighed when he saw Zhang Yu; he’d been given a heads-up by an old friend who had hoped he could facilitate the transfer of Zhang Hao’s driver position to his son when the time came.

He certainly wouldn’t do anything against regulation or discipline, and seeing how Zhang Yu came across, she did not seem easy to bully. If anything escalated, he wouldn’t face a good outcome.

All he could do was to not notify anyone about the driver job; if there was a need for a replacement and there was a time limit for it, he just had to wait for the period to pass and then he could make his moves.

Since Zhang Yu was definitely going to keep one job, even if she complained afterward, she wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.

However, just when there were only three days left before expiration, the job was sold. Was that just a coincidence?

Zhang Yu noticed the head of the personnel department staring at her and knew he must be overthinking again.

But let him overthink; as the head of the personnel department, not informing her about the replacement was clearly having personal motives.

Luckily, Director Wang had reminded her; otherwise, she really would have fallen into a pit.

"Head, I’ve come to sign," Zhang Yu greeted the other party as she had seen him yesterday and was ready to sign.

The head of the personnel department recalled his old friend’s request and wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say.

Some things could be left unsaid; if insisted on bringing them up, it would be clear that there was scheming involved, and it could escalate into an uncontrollable situation.

And since an agreement had already been reached, there was no need for him to stir up trouble.

After the head of the personnel department came to this realization, he efficiently completed the paperwork. "Zhang Yu, are you going to take him to the transport team?"

Zhang Yu acknowledged. Although it was no longer her responsibility, she knew that their help would still be needed with the house, so by lending a hand now, they might handle the house more diligently later.

Zhang Yu led the other party to the transport team and briefly explained the situation along the way, "My dad seldom talks about work matters."

"So, regarding some people’s temperaments and actions, I’m also unaware. My dad has a good relationship with the head of the transport team; he’s his senior apprentice-brother."

"As for the rest, there are good relationships as well as ordinary ones."

After taking the person around the transport team and making some introductions, Zhang Yu returned to her office.

Work was about to end, and she was busy packing up her things; when she got back to her office, her colleagues looked up at her.

"The guy really helped you renovate the house?" Even if they didn’t know how the remodeling would look, they knew it wasn’t cheap.

Zhang Yu hummed in agreement, "Yeah, the house has been there for a while, and the roof is leaking a bit."

"It’s a good opportunity to do something about it," to make a kitchen and then also a bathroom and a shower.

"We all thought nobody would agree to it." Some people still found it hard to believe, it was truly too sudden.

"As long as the job is good, there will definitely be high demand." Zhang Yu said indifferently, "I had thought that people from the steel rolling factory would want this position."

Since the position was already traded, why not agitate those people a bit more? After all, they were just too greedy.

"But everyone has high standards and looks down on it." Zhang Yu checked the time; there were still about ten minutes before the end of work.

Previously, it would have been fine to slack off now, but given that she had just transferred the job, which had attracted so much attention, it was better to keep a low profile.

Everyone found Zhang Yu’s words amusing; it’s not they didn’t want the job, but there were just too many people eyeing it.

Not to mention they didn’t have that much money on hand, and even if they did, securing the position wouldn’t have been easy for them.

As gods clashed, a bystander benefited. Never mind, it wasn’t related to them anyway, so they just treated it as a spectacle.

However, some people had different ideas. Since the Zhang family’s parents had passed away, leaving behind just two young girls, if someone could marry Zhang Yu, would housing ever be a problem?

Eventually, his brothers might not live there, but his parents could be moved in to live there, and as for Zhang Li, since she’d be married off, how could she compete for the family home?

Thinking this, someone got excited; this was a great idea.
