Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

"Old Li, Xiao Li's abilities are obvious to all. The person he chooses must be right."

Li Ying also spoke well of Li Jianjun from the side.

"Yes, Dad. Look at Jianjun, he's so capable, and he can even cook. You couldn't find a son-in-law like him even with a lantern."

The mother and daughter worked together in perfect harmony, making Director Li extremely happy.

"Alright, alright, let's do as you say. Since Xiao Li thinks Ma Sijiu is very suitable for this job, then let's do as you say."

Director Li had clearly agreed to promote Ma Sijiu to the position of leader of the workers' picket team.

Li Jianjun benefited from the mother and daughter's good fortune today and even recommended Ma Sijiu; it was truly a win-win situation.

"Alright, Director Li, we've had enough to drink today. Another day I'll cook you a nice meal myself, and we can have a good drink together."

Director Li was also somewhat drunk.

"Xiao Li, you're being a bit too polite. My Yingying has taken a liking to you, so you're practically my future son-in-law."

Li Ying said shyly.

"Dad, what are you saying?"

Chapter 108 Qin Jingru's Request

Having accomplished two things in one night, Li Jianjun was riding high on a whim, enjoying the sights of Chang'an all day long, and was in an exceptionally good mood.

On my way back by bicycle, I felt an unusual gentleness in the wind.

I'll tell Ma Sijiu this good news when I go to work tomorrow.

Li Jianjun unknowingly arrived at his own doorstep and could see from afar that the door inside his house seemed to be open.

His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly wondered if his house had been burgled.

He hurriedly parked the car in front of the door, then grabbed a wooden stick from the open space in front of the door and quietly headed towards the entrance.

When he kicked the door open, rushed in, and raised the stick to hit her, he discovered that the person in his house was actually Qin Jingru.

The sudden turn of events caught Qin Jingru off guard, and he was holding a broom, seemingly sweeping the floor.

Li Jianjun was also dumbfounded, probably because he didn't expect Qin Jingru to appear in his house.

After a brief moment of shock, Qin Jingru finally came to her senses.

“Brother Jianjun, I saw your door was open and the house was a mess, so I came in to clean it up for you.”

It turned out to be a false alarm. Li Jianjun then realized that he might have forgotten to lock the door when he left home in the morning because he was in a hurry.

"I'm so sorry, Jingru, I thought we'd been robbed. I'm really sorry."

Li Jianjun put down the stick in his hand, calmed Qin Jingru down, and looked around. The house was spotless, thanks to Qin Jingru's thorough cleaning.

Qin Jingru is really good at housework.

Li Jianjun turned around unintentionally and noticed that Qin Jingru's eyes were flickering and she was staring at him.

"Brother Jianjun, the reason I came here today is to tell you that I'm going home tomorrow."

Li Jianjun then remembered that Qin Jingru's family was from the countryside, and she had come to the city because of a blind date with Xu Damao.

I've been in the city for five or six days now, and it's really time to go back.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Li Jianjun's gentle words brought Qin Jingru a sense of warmth and made her feel the care of a stranger.

"Thank you, Jianjun."

Li Jianjun sensed that she was hesitant to speak, so he simply said it to her.

"Jingru, we've gotten to know each other now, and you've helped me clean up, thank you so much. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Qin Jingru raised her eyes, looked boldly at Li Jianjun, and mustered her courage to speak.

"If I could live in this courtyard house, I could clean for you every day and take good care of you."

"Unfortunately……"

Li Jianjun subtly understood her meaning from her words.

To live in this courtyard house, one must be an employee of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Qin Jingru's meaning was quite clear: she wanted Li Jianjun to find her a job.

But thinking about it, it's quite normal. After a country girl comes here for four or five days and sees the prosperity of the big city, she will naturally feel restless and unwilling to return to the life in the countryside.

Li Jianjun thought about it and realized that given his current relationship with Qin Jingru, it wasn't time to arrange a job for her yet.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Qin Jingru admires him.

If I arrange a job for her, Qin Jingru will definitely be extremely grateful to me, and I'll have a better chance of getting her under my control.

Otherwise, Xu Damao would definitely still be unwilling to accept it.

Thinking of all this, Li Jianjun said to Qin Jingru.

“Jingru, how about I find you a job in the city, so you can live in the courtyard house without any problems?”

"It will be more convenient for you to help me with the housework then."

"However, I'm only promising to give it a try. Whether I can find a job or not depends on luck."

Upon hearing the word "work," Qin Jingru could no longer hide the surprise and delight on her face.

A girl living in the countryside, who has lived a life of hard labor since childhood, secretly envies those who work in the city.

"Brother Jianjun, if you really help me find a job in the city, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life, I..."

Li Jianjun interrupted her before she could finish speaking, saying jokingly.

"What? Are you going to offer yourself to me?"

These words immediately made Qin Jingru blush deeply. But strangely enough, if these words came from someone else, they would be considered indecent.

But when Li Jianjun said it, it sounded so natural, and he had truly expressed Qin Jingru's innermost thoughts.

"Brother Jianjun, what are you saying..."

Li Jianjun knew what the young girl was thinking, so he only teased Qin Jingru a little and left it at that.

"Alright, alright, I was just kidding. Here's what we'll do: you go back to your rural hometown first. Just wait for news. I'll write to you as soon as I hear anything."

"Or if there's news, I'll have Qin Huairu go home and let you know."

Qin Jingru jumped for joy, feeling extremely grateful to Li Jianjun; she looked like she wanted to kneel down before him.

"No need, no need. It's getting late, you should go back to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow to go back to the countryside."

Qin Jingru then bid farewell to Li Jianjun and skipped over to Qin Huairu's house, eagerly telling them the good news.

"Sister, I'm going to have a job in the city! That's wonderful, sister!"

Qin Jingru was so excited that she forgot herself and didn't know how to organize her thoughts.

Qin Huairu is also quite strange.

"You brat, what are you saying? How could a country girl like you possibly work in the city?"

Qin Jingru entered the room, happily took a sip of water, and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She then spoke to Qin Huairu.

“It’s true. Li Jianjun said he promised to help me find a job.”

These words greatly surprised Qin Huairu, and even Jia Zhangshi, who had returned home to get her things, was astonished.

"Come on, Li Jianjun finding you a job? There have to be vacancies first. Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is a one-size-fits-all place. If there aren't any openings, let's see how he finds you a job."

Qin Huairu's starting point was why Li Jianjun wanted to help Qin Jingru find a job.

“Jingru, you may be interested in Li Jianjun, but Li Jianjun may not be interested in you. So why should he help you find a job?”

Qin Jingru knew that her explanation wouldn't work, so she simply stomped her foot.

"Sis, please don't talk about this. It's too embarrassing. Li Jianjun is so kind and insisted on finding me a job."

But Qin Huairu didn't think so.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch, unless Li Jianjun is after you."

Qin Jingru knew that Qin Huairu disapproved of his relationship with Li Jianjun, and muttered to herself.

"Let them try to take advantage of me, I've already got my eye on Li Jianjun anyway."

Qin Jingru muttered softly, but Jia Zhangshi, who was standing nearby, was not deaf and heard her clearly.

"Come on, Li Jianjun is the deputy head of the security department. You, Qin Jingru, are just a country girl. Do you think he would want you?"

Chapter 109 Factory Flower Yu Haitang

The ridicule from Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi made Qin Jingru feel extremely inferior.

Yes, she's just a girl from the countryside. What makes her so special that she could win Li Jianjun's favor?

Why would Li Jianjun introduce her to a job?

The excitement she had just felt slowly subsided, and Qin Jingru's heart was filled with all sorts of doubts and resentment.

Why was my cousin Qin Huairu able to marry into the city?

But she can't.

Why was Jia Dongxu able to take a liking to Qin Huairu, while Li Jianjun hesitated to express his feelings towards her?

It was because of the ridicule Qin Jingru received from Qin Huairu and her mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, that Qin Jingru secretly made up her mind to fight back and marry Li Jianjun to get a good job so that Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu could see her for what she was made of.

So, under repeated questioning from Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru shut up and stopped talking.

Before the matter is resolved, nothing I say will make a difference.

...

After Qin Jingru left, Li Jianjun also seriously considered this issue.

Given his current position in the factory, if he could help Lou Xiao'e get a secretary job, then finding Qin Jingru a job should be a piece of cake.
