Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 41 Fierce Competition

"You're quite clever. I'll go to the dam right now and tell them that anyone who wants to sign up should do so here. Let's let their abilities speak for themselves. If any of them are foolish enough to gossip behind my back, I'm not someone to be trifled with!"

Hongying was right; finding Sisi really did solve the problem.

Huang Qiaomei couldn't wait to go to the dam area and issue a notice to slap those people in the face, but the topic still needed some time to prepare, so she had to wait a little longer.

Sisi's idea is not afraid of being fooled, and it can find the most suitable candidate. In the end, it can also shut up those noisy sparrows. It's a win-win-win situation!
"Okay, I'll go with you. I'd also like to sign up and give it a try."

Ji Sisi had a knowing look on her face, but she knew that Sister Qiaomei must have come to her for help.

However, she does need a job.

In her previous life, she worked as a cultural self-media blogger, with a wide range of video content, mainly focusing on intangible cultural heritage crafts, allowing more people to understand the culture of tie-dyeing, carving, iron flower making, and niche Chinese musical instruments.

She is either on her way to study or on her way to study. Every time she receives new things and knowledge, she is tired but happy.

Now that Huang Qiaomei had gained confidence, she took particularly firm steps, her heart brimming with determination.

The courtyard was spacious, and the cement ground was clean. Most of the people in the courtyard were sitting there, not just chatting, but two-thirds of them were also busy with their hands, mending clothes, picking vegetables, crocheting insoles, and doing other things under the sun.

When Huang Qiaomei and Ji Sisi arrived, the crowd surged, becoming even noisier than before.

"Why did Huang Qiaomei and Ji Sisi come together? Could it be that the job was really given to Ji Sisi?"

"It's pretty much a done deal. We were trying to avoid each other before, but it's a shame about the honey I sent over. It was wild honey I brought from my hometown. I'll go to her house later and get it back!"

"Take me with you when you go. I'm bringing a whole box of pastries. My parents asked me to bring these when my brother and sister-in-law got married a couple of years ago. I haven't been able to bear eating them until yesterday when I delivered them to her house."

"And me too. Although I gave you clothes that Gousheng had already worn, the fabric was brought from Jianghai by Gousheng's aunt. It's very precious. And Yangyang is still so small. If we alter it, we might be able to make a new set of clothes for him."

Guo Xiaolan rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. She felt sorry for Huang Qiaomei; her house was practically a garbage dump, filled with all sorts of things.

She just thought these people were ridiculous. They were spreading rumors, but in reality, not a single person had given a gift. If the gift was really given to Ji Sisi, what would be the point of giving a gift?

She didn't even need to think to know that Wang Cuicui must have done it.

Thinking of her grudge against Wang Cuicui, Guo Xiaolan was so angry that her teeth itched. She would get revenge sooner or later!

It took Huang Qiaomei a lot of effort to quiet everyone down. Under the scorching summer sun, she raised her voice, "I know everyone is eager to get a job, and I understand how you feel. I do have a recommendation spot, but let me make it clear first, it's just a recommendation spot, not a guarantee that you'll definitely get the job. Whether you get it or not depends on your own abilities."

"Getting a recommendation spot from me is simple: just pass my exam, and whoever wins will get it! But there's a catch: only people with junior high or high school education can apply. The minimum requirement for a liaison officer is also junior high education. I hope you can understand."

As soon as Huang Qiaomei finished speaking, half of the people in the dam area began to lament.

"What kind of good idea is this? We're not that much worse off than others with only elementary school education. Besides, we've all been out of school for ages. We've forgotten everything we learned before. They might not even be as good as us!"

"I think they're just discriminating against us because of our educational background! They look down on those of us with only elementary school education."

People with junior high school or high school education naturally want to reduce their competitors.

"Look how anxious you are. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. You should understand that principle, right? So what if we've forgotten? We're more knowledgeable than you. Even if we forget, it'll be decades later."

The two sides were arguing fiercely, and Huang Qiaomei tried her best to mediate the situation.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing! If you keep making a fuss, I'll ask the manager to cancel my spot!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, with only the sound of cicadas chirping remaining.

Ji Sisi was stunned. These words were so hurtful, why didn't they come out sooner? "It's not that I look down on elementary school diplomas, it's that the minimum requirement for any workplace is junior high school. Is that so hard to understand? You're not animals, are you deaf or what? Besides, I'm not so powerful that I can lower the bar for your workplace!"

Huang Qiaomei was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and roared, "Those who want to sign up, come and register. Everyone, wait in the dam area the day after tomorrow."

"One last reminder: don't try to falsify anything. It's very easy for me to find out your educational background. Don't forget what my husband does for a living!"

Huang Qiaomei finally understood her husband's words about keeping a distance from people. In the past few years, she had been too approachable, which allowed these people to bully her.

Her husband was the highest-ranking official, and anyone could question her, which infuriated Huang Qiaomei.

The weather was hot, and even the occasional breeze carried a sweltering heat, making one feel sticky and uncomfortable.

Ji Sisi is closest to Huang Qiaomei and is listed first. "Ji Sisi graduated from Jianghai High School with a high school diploma."

Huang Qiaomei quickly registered it on the paper.

With the educational requirement in place, only fifteen people applied, and only three of them had a high school diploma: Ji Sisi, Guo Xiaolan, and Gu Xinyi.

"I don't believe you. How could you possibly have gone to high school?"

Wang Cuicui only has a primary school education, so she doesn't even qualify to register, and she's full of resentment.

So what if Ji Sisi only has a high school diploma? She just doesn't want anyone to have an easy time and wishes she could make Ji Sisi miserable.

Ji Sisi glanced at her, her expression calm, but her eyes held a hint of provocation. "I don't accept people who don't even have the qualifications to register questioning me."

Wang Cuicui's eyes widened instantly, and she stammered with anger.

"You bitch, try saying that again!"

"Wang Cuicui, do you have masochistic tendencies? Why do you have to force me to repeat the humiliating words to you?"

Ji Sisi looked around at the people around her. "Everyone saw it. She asked me to repeat it."

After saying that, Ji Sisi repeated the sentence as she wished.

Wang Cuicui felt like her internal organs were about to explode with anger, and her face turned a deep liver color.

"What's there to question? Qiaomei knows what she's doing, so Cuicui, you shouldn't interfere."

Several people who had some connection with Wang Cuicui pulled her away.

"Why are you all holding me back! If you hadn't stopped me, I would have torn that bitch's mouth apart already!"

Yu Fang pouted and said irritably, "Yes, yes, we pulled you back. You've fallen for her so many times already, why don't you learn your lesson?"

You're a leopard that can't change its spots; you deserve to be punished!

Yu Fang didn't dare to speak her mind. Her husband wasn't as powerful as Ji Sisi's husband, and besides, she still owed Wang Cuicui a favor.

She wouldn't have pulled Wang Cuicui aside if it weren't for asking her to help send money to her family.
