Chapter 296 Only one chance

Su Xiaomei's assistant position is not an ordinary one. Su Xiaomei is now the director of the workshop. She leads people to do the most difficult and delicate head ornaments. She is also responsible for recording and checking. There are too many things to do. She had wanted to find an assistant for Su Xiaomei before, but there was no suitable candidate at the moment.

Wang Lianhua is not actually qualified, but Su Xiaomei has a soft personality. Although she is now the director, she still lacks the momentum when speaking.

Wang Lianhua is also gentle in nature, so Su Xiaomei can suppress her. But if she were replaced by someone who is capable and knowledgeable, maybe she would be able to dominate her before long. Shen Meng is worried, and at present, only Wang Lianhua is suitable.

"Xiao Meng, I, I'm not good enough. I just wanted you to give me a temporary job. No, I didn't expect to have such a good job."

"Sister Lianhua, I wanted you to go back when the flower factory was established, but when I found out about Erqing, I wanted to wait until you felt better and when you made up your mind to separate or stand up on your own. Some things happened in between, but now the ending is good. You can lead Daqing, Erqing, and Yaoyao, and the family lives happily. You have skills, so isn't it natural for you to go back to the flower factory?"

Ever since Lu Yonggang left, Wang Lianhua felt that she would return to the flower factory sooner or later and Shen Meng would make the decision for her, but she didn't expect that she would be asked to be Su Xiaomei's assistant right from the start.

She truly admired Su Xiaomei's craftsmanship and abilities, and on this point, she did not care at all about Shen Meng's face.

Twenty-one dollars a month, even those working properly in the county don't get that much. She knows her abilities and it's too much money. She actually feels empty inside taking it, especially since she doesn't know much and the only words she knows now were taught by her two sons. She is afraid that she won't do well.

But looking at her two thin sons, she felt that if she didn't work hard to earn money, how could she support her children? Given the current reputation of the hair flower factory, it was almost impossible to get in. If she hadn't been good friends with Shen Meng, she wouldn't have been able to work as Su Xiaomei's assistant, let alone as a temporary worker.

"I, I'm afraid I can't do it well. I haven't worked for more than half a year, and I don't know if I can do it. Being an assistant requires a lot of things, and I don't know many words. What if I make a mistake?"

"You only have this chance. If you refuse, I'll find someone else. Sister-in-law, you are now living alone with three children. You have to be not only a mother but also a father. In addition to your own expenses, you have to earn money for their tuition. When they grow up, you have to save money for their betrothal gifts, dowry, and your own retirement. With the salary of a front-line worker, it will take you forever to save up. A lifetime is so long. Don't you want to prove your worth through your own efforts? Don't you plan to live a good life for yourself and your children? Like Shirley?"

Shen Meng's words were so tempting that Wang Lianhua was overwhelmed with emotion. Who wouldn't envy Yu Xueli's life now? She had changed from a bald wife who was annoying to everyone to someone with a formal job in the county hospital. She also had a boyfriend who was a doctor and would get married soon.

Wang Lianhua looked at Shen Meng, then at Daqing and Erqing. With such a good thing in front of her, if she refused, she would be a fool. With this job, her family could live the rest of their lives however they wanted.

"Okay, Xiao Meng, I will do my best and will not let you down. I will not let down anyone who believes in me."

"Okay, when the village chief approves your homestead, organize people to build a house quickly. I'll find Doctor Cheng to help you get some bricks and tiles so you can build a house. If you don't have enough money, I'll get some for you so you can live in Lujia Village with dignity in the future."

"And I, and I. I'll also contribute to your fund. From now on, you'll have a formal job, and your monthly salary will be twice as much as mine. I'm not afraid that you won't be able to pay it back, and you don't have to rush to go to work. Wait until you build the house and tidy up everything, then you can go to the factory." The wife looked at Wang Lianhua now, with mixed feelings in her heart. Finally, she can finally live the life she wanted, and finally live like a human being.

She looked at them with envy, and was thinking about when they could separate from the family. She could earn a salary, and her husband could earn work points, and both of them could take good care of the home and children, instead of the current situation where the couple had to work hard to support the whole family.

The next day, Shen Meng went to find Cheng Yufen and told her about the situation. After listening to her, she agreed to help without saying a word.

Shen Meng looked at her and teased, "Sister Cheng, you are really different now than before. You are much more flexible."

"That's because I know you're doing good things. Besides, you're a famous person in Ning County. Old Kong would be happy to help you. Maybe we can even get a reward from the higher-ups!"

"You're being serious, but I have something I want to tell you. I wonder how Director Kong is doing with the expansion of our brick and tile factory that I proposed last time?"

Cheng Yufen looked around and shook her head at Shen Meng.

"Old Kong said it was difficult. Although he is the factory director, he does not have the final say. What needs to be done still needs to be decided at a factory meeting. In fact, I have long been dissatisfied with the regulations and systems in their factory. Over the past few years, there have been many problems within the factory. People who want to buy blue bricks or red bricks have to line up to get approval, and those who don't have connections have to wait. Some people who want to build a house have to wait for more than half a year before the bricks and tiles are delivered to their homes. They have also spent a lot of money in the meantime. Even with such a tight supply, they are still unwilling to expand. What do you think is going on?"

"Isn't it just that some leaders are afraid of touching the cake in their hands?"

Cheng Yufen did not refute what Shen Meng said, but it was true. As long as there were people who wanted to buy bricks and tiles and as long as they were queuing, some of the leaders above would definitely get the benefits they wanted.

But now the college entrance examination has been restored. In two years, the market economy system will begin and private enterprises will rise. If these public enterprises do not change their strategies, then there is only one way to go, and that is a dead end.

"Well, Sister Cheng, I have one more thing to trouble you with. I want to ask Director Kong if our commune wants to build a brick and tile factory. If we want to set up a factory, can we register with their factory? If you are interested, I will ask Director Feng of our commune to talk to him about cooperation. What do you think?"

Cheng Yufen: “.”

Also, there are workshops. How many workshops do you want to have?
