70's Raising a Child: I'm done with cannon fodder female supporting roles

Chapter 5: Stop making trouble? This is not like her!

He didn't believe a single word or even a punctuation mark of what she had just said.

He wanted to see if this woman who had been working so hard for this job for so long could really give up just like that?
Su Qian didn't believe it either, so when she saw Jiang Zhe standing at the gate of the steel plant, she subconsciously pursed her lips, restrained the expression on her face, then turned around and followed Shen Nanqiao to the office.

Lao Jiang was standing in front of the leader holding the report. The leader frowned and looked reluctant. He really didn't want to approve the report.

He rubbed his temples with his hands, then put the big teacup in his hand on the table with a clang, and said to Lao Jiang with regret:
"Old Jiang, it's such a pity for you, a level 7 worker! With your departure, the factory will lose a pillar."

"Nothing to regret."

Old Jiang seemed to have figured it out. There had been chaos at home for the past half month. If things continued like this, his son's family would be broken up.

"I can find a manual labor job and earn 40 to 50 yuan a month, which can help support the family."

"The problem is that your daughter-in-law is not cut out to work in a workshop..."

The leader was still worried. He was really worried that Shen Nanqiao couldn't do the job.

"Then start from the entry-level level."

Although Lao Jiang said this, he was actually worried in his heart.

How could he not know Shen Nanqiao's temper?
It would be too difficult to ask her to study diligently. She might get tired and quit after just two days.

The leader is having a headache, as if there is a little man beating a drum inside his head.

It was hard to find a level 7 worker like Lao Jiang in the factory, but since he had reached retirement age and wanted to leave his job to his children, he had no reason to disagree. He was just thinking about trying to persuade Lao Jiang again when he heard a knock at the door.

Then, a young girl appeared at the door.

She was wearing clean clothes, but the bulge on her head was a bit eye-catching.

"Dad, hello, leader. I'm Shen Nanqiao."

Lao Jiang's expression changed immediately. He lowered his voice and said nervously:

"What are you doing here? Even if the process is completed, you still have to follow the instructions and come back to take over in a few days!"

He looked so frightened, as if he was afraid that Shen Nanqiao was a bomb that could blow up the factory at any time.

When the leader saw Lao Jiang like this, his expression became even uglier.

Shen Nanqiao: ...

She sighed in her heart, thinking how much trouble she was causing. She was almost becoming a person that everyone feared.

But she didn't say anything more and immediately said, "Boss, I'm not here to take over. Please reject my father's application."

The leader was stunned, and Lao Jiang was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. What? What was going on?
Shen Nanqiao felt a little embarrassed, which was rare for him, but he had to clean up the mess he had made himself.

She lowered her head, like a child who had made a mistake, and whispered, "Well, I wanted to have a job so badly before, but who knew, it was like I was blinded by greed and became obsessed.

Now, after falling down, I’ve come to my senses. I realize that I can’t do this job in a steel factory.

My dad is a high-level talent. Only if he stays in the factory can he make greater contributions!" She said this in a clear and beautiful way.

Old Jiang's eyes almost popped out of his head as he listened. Jiang Zhe, who had just walked to the door outside, also heard these two sentences. His expression became complicated. He looked at Shen Nanqiao's slender back through the door, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Su Qian couldn't believe it the most. Shen Nanqiao actually...actually stopped making trouble? This was not like her!
Old Jiang widened his eyes and looked his daughter-in-law up and down carefully. Apart from the wound on her forehead, there was no other change in this person.

The voice is still the same, but why does it sound like a completely different person suddenly spoke these words?

The leader's eyes also lit up and he looked at Ye Tang with sharp eyes.

Lao Jiang is a veteran in the factory. He has worked there for most of his life and has made great contributions.

I'm still a few years away from retirement. If I leave now, the factory will be like missing a pillar. It will be hard to find someone to replace me in a short time. After all, not just anyone can do the job of a level 7 worker.

The leader immediately asked, "Jiang Zhe's wife, are you telling the truth? Aren't you going to ask your father-in-law for this job?"

Shen Nanqiao nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "That must be true. If I go back on my word, I will be a scoundrel and be despised by everyone!"

"Pfft." The leader was amused by Ye Tang's simple and childish words. He turned around and said to Lao Jiang with a smile:
"Mr. Jiang, look at your wife. She's so interesting. She's given birth to two kids, but she's still childish. Well, I'll just pretend that this report never appeared. Mr. Jiang, do what you need to do tomorrow and come to work normally.

Jiang Zhe's wife, do you want to do this entry-level job? If you are willing to work hard to learn, you will have a bright future and you can get a promotion and a raise."

It's not easy to be a junior worker. You only earn 30 yuan a month. It's the most tiring and difficult job in the factory, and you have to do all the dirty and hard work.

Su Qian stood there, curled her lips slightly and sneered.

Shen Nanqiao is a man with high ambitions but a fragile life. How could he be willing to work as an entry-level worker?
Just look at her white and tender hands, and you can tell that she has never done any work in the Jiang family!

Besides, I am already a third-level worker in the factory, and because of my husband, people in the factory are reluctant to let me work. I also feel that I am like a flower in the factory, pleasing to everyone's eyes.

Su Qian felt that Shen Nanqiao just loved to compete with herself, so she was sure that she would not agree.

Unexpectedly, Shen Nanqiao agreed so readily: "Thank you for your training, I will definitely work hard from the entry-level position. Dad, I was ignorant before, please bear with me."

Old Jiang was an honest man with a poor tongue. Seeing his daughter-in-law's temper suddenly change, he didn't know what to say for a moment and could only nod his head: "Okay, okay..."

Shen Nanqiao took a quick step forward, snatched the report, and tore it up without hesitation with a "swish" sound. The movement was clean and neat.

Then she gave her leader a silly smile, like a simple country girl: "Leader, this report doesn't count. My father will come to work tomorrow as usual!"

After saying this, Shen Nanqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, a big thing was stopped! If she really got this job, the Jiang family would be in trouble.

Besides, with her current skills, there is no way she can do the work of a seventh-level worker. She doesn't even know how to use those machines.

Shen Nanqiao turned around and prepared to walk out. He saw Su Qian at a glance, and also saw Jiang Zhe standing behind him.

She frowned slightly, intending to pretend she didn't see it and just walk past.

When passing by the two of them, Su Qian couldn't help but speak.
