Courtyard House: Drunk and tipsy, the whole courtyard exposed at the start.

He suddenly thought of Mu Wanqing's job problem. She couldn't possibly stay with him, who had been farming for over ten years, could she?

As for stuffing food into the food processing plant, it's not a big problem, but to be honest, it's already saturated with Aunt Mu and Yu Li already.

Furthermore, if Mu Wanqing goes there and lives with Aunt Mu... the mother and daughter will face even more criticism.

So he wanted to try Li Huaide's approach.

Li Huaide is the kind of person who will do anything if you pay him; once the money is right, anything is negotiable.

Li Huaide glanced at Mu Wanqing; he had seen her a few times, but didn't know her name.

Then, she whispered to Zhang Dabiao, "What's up, your girlfriend?"

Zhang Dabiao was speechless and could only explain, "I'm not quite there yet. I only graduated from elementary school. It's too early."

Li Huaide glanced again at He Yushui, who was standing warily to the side, and Qin Jingru, whose eyes were shining.

So he patted Zhang Dabiao on the shoulder: "Dabiao, you can't make a mistake! You have to be careful about the consequences!"

? !

Zhang Dabiao was speechless—he wanted to explain, but didn't know where to begin.

"Uncle Li, please tell me if there's any way?" He felt really bad seeing Mu Wanqing so depressed all the time.

She's already made it clear that she's completely yours, so you have to do something about it, right?

So I simply asked Li Huaide for it. It's just money, right? At worst, we can postpone building the house a little longer.

Li Huaide raised an eyebrow: "If others ask me, there's naturally nothing I can do. I've only just become the acting deputy factory director, and the city is currently downsizing its workforce."

"but--"

"Da Biao, since you've asked, we definitely have to!"

Hearing this, Mu Wanqing, He Yushui, and Qin Jingru were all stunned.

Is it really that easy to set up a workstation?

"However, you have to tell me first what her background is."

"There are different ways to deal with the Black and Unruly. There are also ways to deal with the less serious aspects of the problem. You should talk to Uncle Li about it first."

Li Huaide was quite meticulous, so Zhang Dabiao told him about Mu Wanqing's failure to pass the college entrance examination review.

Li Huaide frowned and considered for a moment before explaining to the others, "The background you mentioned is no big deal."

"However, it's understandable that Director Wang won't help you. Even if the neighborhood committee issues a certificate for this girl, the Education Bureau won't approve it. Even if the Education Bureau approves it, she'll still have to go through another review once she gets into university."

"So no one would risk their life for this girl."

"But it's easier at the factory. As long as it's not a key position, and the background isn't blacklisted, but there are some minor flaws in their history, it's easy to arrange things."

"Our factory has workers who have been to prison, and also descendants of black people. We can't say that these people will never have a job in their lives, how will they live?"

"The workshop and kitchen are easy to arrange, but the publicity department..."

Li Huaide was also worried. If you said she was a worker and could go into the workshop or kitchen, then he would arrange it for her in no time.

But Zhang Dabiao specifically asked to be a broadcaster—that was the factory's main platform for propaganda and publicity, so naturally, his background would be strictly vetted.

He couldn't guarantee that.

Mu Wanqing quickly tugged at Zhang Dabiao's sleeve: "Dabiao, I can work in the workshop or the kitchen."

These days, it's already considered good for someone like her to have a formal worker's job. Her social status has changed from urban poor to working class elder brother - what more could she ask for?

And just as Zhang Dabiao said, you should first become a worker or farmer, work hard for a few years, achieve some results, and either be recommended to go to university, or wait more than ten years to take the university entrance exam.

There's always a chance, isn't there?

Zhang Dabiao was thinking, "I'm not comfortable with my beautiful, delicate wife working in the workshop with this bunch of rough men."

Moreover, the workshop has an accident rate. In less than two years, Jia Dongxu will be hanging in the workshop, as will Old Jia, and even Big Head's dad...

Such a healthy person just died like that, and the compensation is only a little over 200 yuan, based on their work grade...

If anything happens to Mu Wanqing, Zhang Dabiao will be heartbroken.

And the kitchen?

With that idiot Zhu there, I'm even more worried.

Although there hasn't been an official announcement yet, their intentions are there, and Zhang Dabiao has to consider it to some extent.

"Uncle Li, if Mu Wanqing achieves good results after joining the factory, could you find a way to transfer her to the publicity department as an announcer?"

Li Huaide considered the feasibility.

"If we can achieve good results and everyone has no objections, then it's all good to talk about."

"But if they go into the factory or kitchen, what kind of results can they achieve that's relevant to publicity?"

"You can't just say she's good at things like metalworking or forging, and then switch to being a broadcaster, can you?"

"That doesn't make sense!"

"As for the kitchen, that's even more impossible. She'd be working as a group of apprentices there, which has nothing to do with publicity."

Zhang Dabiao's eyes darted around—"I have a brilliant plan!"

------------

Warehouse keeper – because they handle materials, they must be people trusted by the leaders and have good backgrounds (such as veteran workers);

Electrician/mechanic – skilled and reliable certification is something Mu Wanqing couldn't learn on the spot, as it involves equipment safety and production safety, which is of great importance.

Production scheduler/statistician - office-based, mental labor that is "worked in place of a cadre", usually a party member, youth league member or activist, with a high school education, able to write and calculate;

Workshop recorder/attendance clerk – records worker attendance, production data, and blackboard bulletin board announcements. The work environment is relatively fixed, and the position is often filled by older workers who have suffered work injuries or younger workers with higher levels of education. It is considered a care-care position.

Less demanding jobs include gatekeeper/duty officer, childcare worker/factory clinic assistant, quality inspector/laboratory technician, factory radio announcer/publicity officer, etc.

However, most of these jobs require background checks, so in the end, Mu Wanqing was given a quality inspector apprenticeship. However, it was just assisting in the work in the workshop, which wasn't too strenuous. It required a certain level of education, meticulousness, and a strong sense of responsibility, and was usually filled by female workers.

At this time, Li Huaide could still manage to get a job as a quality inspector apprentice.

This job wouldn't work if it involved black people or nobodies, because they might cause sabotage.

Mu Wanqing is from an urban poor family, and her adoptive mother's history has some flaws, so it's not a big problem. Besides, she has a master to guide and supervise her.

Li Huaide said he would find her a capable female mentor from the Women's Federation to guide her. Her history was somewhat similar to Aunt Mu's; before the founding of the People's Republic of China, she was given away as a concubine.

In this way, Mu Wanqing will have someone protecting her in the factory. The rest depends on how Zhang Dabiao helps her jump from quality inspector apprentice to the broadcasting station.

They have very strict requirements for ingredient vetting over there.

Thus, Mu Wanqing's job was decided in just a few words.

Zhang Dabiao offered to pay, but Li Huaide symbolically accepted 600. This was one thing, but another. The steel rolling mill's workstations were now on a one-in-one-out system; new people could only enter when someone retired or was discharged due to illness. Of course, the hiring of university and vocational school graduates was unrelated to this; it was all directly arranged by the ministry.

Zhang Dabiao expressed his understanding, saying he wasn't afraid to spend money, but rather worried that even if you spent money, you wouldn't have anywhere to find connections.

Finally, I wanted to invite Li Huaide to dinner, but he was busy and I'd like to wait until everything was arranged.

It will take some time; it won't be that quick.
