Chapter 41: Two Women Going to Work
The angrier people today were none other than the Jia family. Madam Jia Zhang cursed all the way home, still muttering curses at Zhang Lei.
Seeing this, Jia Dongxu frowned and said impatiently, "Mom, you should take a break. I'm so tired of hearing this."
Seeing her son speak to her like that, Jia Zhangshi's eyes instantly reddened, and she said with a face full of grievance, "Dongxu, your mother is suffering! Think about how much money we lost today. If it weren't for that little brat Zhang Lei causing trouble, would those people have been able to get all their money back?"
In Jia Zhangshi's mind, it was only natural for the people in the courtyard to donate money to the Jia family; it would be abnormal if they didn't donate money to them.
Standing next to Jia Zhangshi, Banggeng imitated her, cursing in a childish voice, "You little brat!"
Qin Huairu, who was standing nearby, quickly looked at Banggeng and gently scolded, "Banggeng, don't talk nonsense."
Jia Dongxu immediately turned his gaze to Qin Huairu and scolded her impatiently, "If you hadn't spoken, I would have almost forgotten about you! Tell me clearly, do you have any dealings with Sha Zhu?"
Qin Huairu looked aggrieved and quickly waved her hands, "Dongxu, there's really nothing between me and Shazhu, why don't you believe me? Besides, just look at Shazhu's appearance, I get annoyed just looking at him, how could it have anything to do with me?"
As she spoke, Qin Huairu quickly walked to Jia Dongxu's side and tugged at his sleeve.
Looking at Qin Huairu's appearance, Jia Dongxu pondered her words for a moment and realized that what she said made sense.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly pressed her advantage, saying softly, "Dongxu, we both have children now, how could I possibly have a relationship with someone else? Besides, among all the men in our courtyard, who is as handsome as you? I'm not blind."
Hearing Qin Huairu's flattery, Jia Dongxu's anger subsided considerably, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Alright, I understand. Don't feel wronged. It's just that I like you so much that I'm afraid others might have ulterior motives towards you."
Hearing Jia Dongxu say this, Qin Huairu blushed and whispered in his ear, "Dongxu, I know you're good to me. You can stay up a little later tonight, and I'll let you do whatever you want with me."
After dinner, it was around 11 p.m.
Inside the Jia family's house, Jia Zhangshi's snoring was deafening.
After waiting for a long time, Jia Dongxu could no longer restrain himself and pushed Qin Huairu down.
Just as Qin Huairu was waiting for Jia Dongxu's next move, Jia Dongxu stared at his underling with worry, no matter how hard he tried, there was no progress.
He was filled with doubt, wondering what was wrong with him today.
Qin Huairu waited with her eyes closed for several minutes, but seeing that the person on top of her didn't move, she couldn't help but ask, "Dongxu, are you done?"
Jia Dongxu lay down sullenly to one side and said impatiently, "I'm too tired today, I'm not interested, let's do it another day."
Qin Huairu cursed inwardly: You fucking stirred up my anger, and now you won't even put it out! What a useless piece of trash, I have to deal with it myself!
The next day arrived quickly. Zhang Lei looked at Ye Shuhua beside him, reached out and patted her, saying, "Little sleepyhead, wake up, it's time to get up."
Ye Shuhua shrank further into the blankets and said in a muffled voice, "Don't talk, honey, I was too tired last night."
Zhang Lei looked a little embarrassed upon hearing this. He had gotten too excited last night and poured all his passion into Ye Shuhua.
Seeing Ye Shuhua still lazing in bed, Zhang Lei urged, "Get up quickly, there are important things to do today."
Ye Shuhua muttered, "Let me sleep a little longer for important things too."
Zhang Lei asked helplessly, "Aren't you going to work?"
Upon hearing the word "work," Ye Shuhua immediately snapped out of her daze and suddenly remembered that she had to go to work at the street office and supply and marketing cooperative.
Ye Shuqin had already gotten up early and prepared breakfast.
Soon, the four of them sat down to eat together. Ye Shuqin looked at the two of them and said, "To be honest, it's your first day at work today. Listen to your boss, observe more, and ask more questions."
Hearing Ye Shuqin's instructions, Ye Shuhua quickly replied, "Alright, big sister, we know. We have the head of the household with us."
Zhang Lei, still smiling, continued, "Shuqin, don't worry. Shuhua and Shuqi's jobs aren't difficult at all. They'll definitely adapt quickly, so you don't need to worry so much."
Because it was close to the street office and supply and marketing cooperative, Zhang Lei planned to bring the two of them here first to arrange a job for Ye Shuhua.
The three of them soon arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.
When the director of the supply and marketing cooperative heard Zhang Lei's introduction, he smiled and said, "You must be the Zhang Lei that Deputy Factory Director Li mentioned? I thought you would come with your people in a few days."
"Deputy Factory Director Li has already spoken to me about the job onboarding. You can rest assured and leave the person with me; I'll take care of everything."
Listening to the words of the supply and marketing cooperative director, Zhang Lei couldn't help but give Li Huaide a thumbs up in his heart.
Soon, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative called over a woman in her forties and said, "Zhang Xia, this is Ye Shuhua. You can mentor her for now. Teach her anything she doesn't understand."
Hearing the words of the supply and marketing cooperative director, Zhang Xia immediately nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Director. This job isn't difficult at all. I will definitely train her diligently."
Seeing how thoughtful the supply and marketing cooperative director had been, Zhang Lei quickly stepped forward to express his gratitude before leaving with Ye Shuqi.
Zhang Lei and Ye Shuqi were walking towards the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill when Ye Shuqi asked curiously, "Honey, why did you suddenly decide to buy so much candy?"
Zhang Lei looked at Ye Shuqi and said with a smile, "These are for you."
Ye Shuqi was even more puzzled, and frowned as she said, "Give it to me? I can't eat that much."
Zhang Lei patiently explained, "These aren't for you to eat; they're for you to give away. I just saw my colleagues from the calligraphy and painting department and remembered I needed to prepare something. Take these candies and share them with your colleagues in the same department; it'll help you build good relationships."
Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Ye Shuqi suddenly realized and quickly nodded, saying, "Honey, you've really thought of everything."
The two quickly arrived at the personnel department. After completing the onboarding procedures, Zhang Lei took Ye Shuqi to the publicity department.
Following Zhang Lei's instructions, Ye Shuqi distributed the candies to everyone in the department. Sure enough, everyone was incredibly enthusiastic about this beautiful new colleague.
Zhang Lei watched from the doorway for a while, and seeing that Ye Shuqi had already become friends with everyone, he quietly turned around and left.
