Chapter 370 Permanent Employee Quotas
The reason he didn't want to go back to Beijing was because the news of Lu Guoqiang's arrest had become public, and the neighbors in the compound were gossiping about him behind his back.
Lu Sheng wanted to settle down somewhere where no one knew their family's background, so that no one would look at the three of them with strange eyes anymore, and Guo Qiang could live a good life...
Lu Sheng had already imagined his retirement life countless times, and now he was just one step away from taking the plunge.
Ten years ago, Lu Sheng would not have believed he would be in such a hurry to retire.
"Commander, Comrade Lu Congyue has left first." The guard reminded his old commander when he saw him standing there in a daze.
Lu Sheng came to his senses and only saw Lu Congyue carrying Xiao Chenglin away.
"Okay, let's go back too." Lu Sheng rubbed his forehead. "We still have a lot of things to do."
The jeep passed by Lu Congyue. Lu Congyue glanced at the license plate and knew that Lu Sheng was sitting inside. He lowered his eyes and didn't intend to look at it a second time.
"Sir, aren't we taking Lu Congyue back?" the guard asked worriedly.
Lu Sheng closed his eyes to rest: "I won't answer."
The guard glanced at his face and dared not say another word.
The car sped away, and Lu Congyue took Xiao Chenglin to the guesthouse to stay, then waited for good news.
As soon as Lu Sheng got home, Guan Jing rushed over to him.
"How is it? How did it go? Did Lu Congyue really agree?"
Lu Sheng was startled when he saw Guan Jing.
The woman, who was usually gentle and graceful, looked completely drained after just a few days. She had dark circles under her eyes and even eye bags.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Tell me already!" Guan Jing asked impatiently.
"Everything back home has been taken care of. Now there's only one last request: to arrange a permanent position at the steel factory for Zhuang Qingxiang."
Lu Sheng sighed and sat down on the sofa: "But we don't know many people in the provincial capital, so we can only try our best to find a way."
Guan Jing frowned when she heard that she wanted a job but not a house.
But she quickly relaxed and advised, "Old Lu, since they want one, just arrange one for them. The most important thing right now is our son!"
"You make it sound so easy. You need to contact the person in charge first," Lu Sheng said irritably.
Guan Jing did know someone in the provincial capital, and for her son's sake, she quickly contacted that person.
"Old Lu, you don't know, I've been going to see Guoqiang every day these past few days. He's suffered terribly. We can't let him stay in there any longer. Seriously, it'll ruin him."
Guan Jing choked up as she spoke, her heart filled with gratitude for Lu Guoqiang.
Lu Sheng knew that she always doted on her son, and seeing her like this, he felt sorry for her.
"Alright, stop crying. Let's take care of business first. Once it's done, our son will be home soon," Lu Sheng commanded in a low voice.
Guan Jing stopped crying and started contacting her network with Lu Sheng.
Soon enough, they managed to contact the old subordinate who worked at the steel mill.
Upon hearing that it was Lu Sheng, the person on the other end exclaimed in surprise and greeted Lu Sheng warmly.
After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Sheng began to subtly inquire about the available job openings.
The man immediately sensed Lu Sheng's intentions and asked curiously, "Old Chief, do you have family here?"
Yes, Lu Congyue is there, but Lu Sheng doesn't want to mention it.
"No, it's for a..." Lu Sheng paused, "...a friend, a very good friend. He came to me for help, so I had to think of a way to help him."
"Well... it's really hard to get a spot. How about temporary workers? I can handle this myself, no need to ask anyone else," the man said.
Lu Sheng smiled wryly: "It's not so troublesome if it's a temporary worker, I just want a permanent position."
Seeing his persistence, the other party was also in a dilemma, and only said that he would think of a way in the next two days and asked Lu Sheng to wait for news.
After hanging up the phone, Guan Jing scoffed dismissively, "Useless. It's just one permanent position, and look how hard he's making things difficult for him."
"Alright, at least there's some hope, isn't there? How's it going on your end?" Lu Sheng said impatiently.
Guan Jing's face fell: "Everyone says it's difficult to handle, mainly because the head of the steel mill is stubborn and never shows any consideration for personal feelings or face. All they can say is to try again."
The people over there said to try again, but Lu Sheng still needs to think of a solution.
After going through several layers of connections, news finally came in, asking whether the other party was male or female, as their steel factory preferred male workers.
Lu Sheng then sent his orderly to inquire with Lu Congyue, only to find out that the job had been assigned to someone else.
Lu Sheng wanted to curse.
I thought it was a job assigned to that widow Zhuang Qingxiang, but it turns out it was for an outsider...
Is it worth expending so much energy on an outsider?
Even if you're in a bad mood, you still have to get things done.
Huang Yuejin, a temporary worker at the steel plant. After the name was passed on, the other party quickly responded, saying that Huang Yuejin had been working as a temporary worker at the steel plant for many years and it was time for him to be promoted to a permanent position. The factory manager agreed to make him a permanent worker.
Once Lu Sheng received confirmation, he went directly to find Lu Congyue.
"I've done everything I needed to do; now it's your turn."
Lu Congyue chuckled, "What's the rush? It hasn't been officially announced yet, has it?"
Lu Sheng's lips trembled with anger: "You don't even believe what I say?"
"When have you ever been trustworthy?" Lu Congyue retorted.
In any case, the two have completely broken off relations, even more so than they did years ago.
After this incident, the two of them will probably never cross paths again, so Lu Congyue speaks even more recklessly, as if he wants to provoke Lu Sheng to death.
Lu Sheng quickly took a few heart pills to calm himself down. He glanced coldly at Lu Congyue and said in a deep voice, "I used to think you were most like me, but now it seems you are nothing like me. I would never treat my parents like you do."
Lu Congyue's eyes darkened, and he sneered, "Although I don't want to admit it, I am indeed like you, not as soft-hearted and kind as Mother. You don't treat your parents this way because you never go home, never see them, and never take care of them in their old age! It was my mother who took care of them in their old age!"
Lu Sheng's face flushed red with frustration, and he turned and left.
I never want to see this son again, lest I die prematurely.
The argument ended badly here, but in a small alley in the provincial capital, the Huang family was overjoyed.
Huang Yuejin received a notification that he could go to complete the formal procedures for becoming a permanent employee today.
No need to give gifts or money, it can be done directly.
"Did they exert force over there?" Grandpa Huang pointed in the direction of the small courtyard.
Huang Yuejin scratched his head, his face beaming: "Probably, whatever, let's go get the paperwork done first, and we'll see if it's true or not!"
The person who notified him didn't say, and he wasn't sure if he had finally qualified or if Zhuang Qingxiang had actually stepped in to help him.
Holding his documents, he strode confidently to the factory office.
As soon as I entered, the office director greeted me warmly.
"Yuejin, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you. Come, sit down, and have a cup of tea."
Huang Yuejin, who had never been treated like this before, immediately became flustered: "No, I won't drink anymore... No, I mean..."
"Hehe, don't rush, tell me slowly." The office director smiled and reassured him, "You've worked in the factory for so many years, and you really haven't shown off. You never mention such a strong connection."
