Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 789 Ten Thousand Agreements
At this moment, Lu Qiaoge, who was walking on the tree-lined road, was stopped by Zhang Aiguo.

Zhang Aiguo was clearly surprised, probably because he originally wanted to find Lu Qiaoge.

So his surprise was tinged with delight.

He exchanged a few pleasantries with Lu Qiaoge with a smile, and then revealed his plans:
"I'm not planning to go home for winter break. There are about a dozen people who share the same idea as me. Lu, I've always admired you. Today I've come here sincerely to learn from you, or rather, to get some advice. Of course, this occasion might be a bit informal, but who would have thought I'd run into you by chance?"

Lu Qiaoge thought it was indeed quite a coincidence.

She had planned to go back to her dormitory, but Sang Juan was there. If she saw her go back, she might come looking for her.

That would prevent her from communicating with Xiao Cangcang in time, so she changed her mind and prepared to walk towards the playground.

Who would have thought that they would run into Zhang Aiguo after walking for only a few minutes?

Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "Zhang, you're too kind. Just tell me what's on your mind."

Zhang Aiguo didn't hide anything: "My family's financial situation is average. Although I get a student stipend now, going back to my hometown not only requires buying a train ticket, but also staying in a guesthouse along the way, and then changing trains twice to get home. I think if I send this money to my mother, they can have a very good New Year..."

Lu Qiaoge kept an eye on the space while listening to Zhang Aiguo's rambling.

Such people always bring up the past to explain their actions.

But Lu Qiaoge couldn't interrupt.

All I could do was listen patiently, and thankfully Zhang Aiguo soon got to the point.

"Several classmates shared the same idea as me. We wanted to work part-time while studying. We originally wanted to discuss with the school whether we could help out in the cafeteria, but the cafeteria has already hired four or five temporary workers this year, so there is no need to hire any more."

We've tried many methods, but none of them are very realistic. So I wanted to ask for your opinion, Xiao Lu. What can people like us, who don't have any special skills but do have a lot of strength, do do?

You should work part-time while studying.

Lu Qiaoge's eyes darted around. The Spring Trade Fair had been canceled for some reason, so the original plan was disrupted.

She also told her classmates who were planning to volunteer about the situation.

Everyone surely understands.

Because of various changes at the beginning of the year, even though the departure was extended, those who were supposed to leave still left.

The country is currently in a very critical situation...

However, Director Bai said the autumn trade fair will proceed as scheduled.

Some of the economics students will also stay in Beidu.

After all, the current prevailing attitude is to connect theory with practice.

Their ideas were similar to Zhang Aiguo's, but a few of them had connections and were said to be able to help out at the factory during the winter break.

For example, there's even less need to worry about people like Xia Yinghe, Tong Niannian, and Tao Zhuting.

They all have their own places to go.

Several classmates haven't contacted Lu Qiaoge yet; they're figuring out what to do during the holiday.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Zhang Aiguo. These people were from the literature department and were quite skilled writers, but in the current environment, it was best not to step forward rashly.

When the cultural environment becomes more relaxed, they will know what to do on their own.

Lu Qiaoge's mind raced, and she actually had an idea, though she wasn't sure if these people would accept it. So Lu Qiaoge said, "Let me tell you something first. The Beidu instant noodle factory is expanding, and we've also received an order from Malaysia. However, the other party hopes to receive the goods before the Lantern Festival, but unfortunately, we don't have much stock right now, so everyone is working overtime to produce. Factory Manager Min has decided to hire temporary workers until the order is completed. You may not be familiar with the workshop, but you can help with loading, unloading, sorting, and even working in the canteen. The salary is thirty yuan, including food and accommodation..."

Before Lu Qiaoge could finish speaking, Zhang Aiguo, who was on the other end, didn't dare to interrupt, but he nodded vigorously.

I agree, I agree a million times! Only a fool would disagree.

When workers first enter the factory, they are apprentices and only earn 28 yuan. These temporary workers are paid 30 yuan, and most importantly, they are provided with food and accommodation.

Although he had never been to the factory, he had heard from his classmates in Beidu that, apart from some special departments, the Beidu instant noodle branch had the best benefits and the highest salary in the entire Beidu.

They say the factory is very generous with employee benefits because it makes a lot of money.

Of course, it will definitely be hard work.

But where in this world can you find a place where you get paid to do nothing?
Even if you ask your father for money, you still have to listen to his nagging.

Despite the seemingly leisurely appearance of some factories, after a symposium, he realized that such factories could not last long.

Only large state-owned factories like the instant noodle factory have a brighter future.

Not to mention that although it was separated from Jiangcheng Xiangyang Food Factory, it is now directly under the jurisdiction of the State Administration of Foreign Trade in Beidu.

Being able to work in a place like this, no matter what he does, at least he'll know what this kind of instant noodles that sells well abroad are like.

He had only heard about it from others; he had never actually seen it, let alone eaten it.

They even thought to themselves: "It would be nice to smell it."

While his mind raced, he listened to Lu Qiaoge explain some precautions and requirements.

Of course, we don't need to consider the student's background, because everyone who is admitted is qualified.

After Lu Qiaoge finished speaking, Zhang Aiguo immediately said, "Student Lu, please rest assured, we will definitely abide by the factory's rules and regulations."

Lu Qiaoge asked with a smile, "So, you agree?"

Zhang Aiguo didn't mince words and said directly, "Oh, this is such a good thing, if I don't agree, everyone else will beat me to death." Then he looked at Lu Qiaoge expectantly, "Then... can this matter be settled?"

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "Sure, if there are no problems, you can lead these classmates to the branch factory to report when we officially start our holiday."

Zhang Aiguo nodded vigorously again, then, remembering something, asked, "Is there a limit to the number of people?"

Lu Qiaoge: "The people you just mentioned are all suitable."

"That's wonderful. Lu, thank you so much! I've been wanting to find you for the past few days, but I haven't had the chance. I never expected to run into you like this today. Oh my, I really didn't expect this. Thank you so much!"

It's clear he was genuinely happy.

I even felt like jumping up.

Lu Qiaoge waved her hand with a smile: "No need to be so polite. Subsidizing your living expenses is one thing, but you have also put in the work, and this is also helping the country with production and construction."

Zhang Aiguo reassured Lu, "Don't worry, since I'm the leader, I'll definitely keep them in check and make sure they don't bring shame to our school or cause you any trouble."

After Zhang Aiguo eagerly ran off to share the good news with the other classmates, Lu Qiaoge, with her hands in her down jacket pockets, continued walking slowly toward the grove...
