Hearing this, Zhao Quanli and Wang Jiajia looked at Zhao Zirui hopefully.
Being a civil servant was their familyâs first choice.
There was nothing wrong with a girl choosing a stable job. âWhich department did you apply for?â Zhao Zirui asked.
âIt was also tax.â
âThen why didnât you tell me in advance? I could still help you improve your scores before the exam,â Zhao Zirui said. âl think your written test results might have been able to go up a few grades.â
âItâs mainly because youâre too busy. I was too embarrassed to look for you.â
Because Zhao Ziruiâs home was not in Victory Village, and he only came back once or twice a year, their relationship was much more distant.
Even though she knew that he was already a civil servant in the tax bureau, she was too embarrassed to seek him out over this.
âAlright, Iâll help you ask about this.â Zhao Zirui said.
âCoincidentally, I just finished dinner with our section chief a few days ago. Iâll talk to him. It shouldnât be a big problem.â
With that, Zhao Zirui picked up his phone.
âHello, Section Chief Song, this is Little Zhao.â
âIf you have something to say, say it quickly. Iâm busy here.â
âSection Chief Song, my sister participated in this yearâs civil service examination and ranked eighth in the test. The interview after that wasnât very solid. Can you help me think of a way to get her it?â âThatâs easy. I can arrange it for her for 200,000 yuan.â
âCan you reduce the amount?â
âDo you think this is a place anyone can enter? Two hundred thousand isnât much. Moreover, it will be a five-year contract.â
âAlright, alright, alright. I understand.â
Zhao Zirui hung up the phone and looked at Zhao Quanli.
âIâve helped ask about you. They want 200,000 yuan for a five-year contract.â
âAh? That much?â Zhao Quanli exploded. âThe familyâs money is all for your sisterâs schooling. I really canât take out so much money!â
âThen thereâs nothing I can do. My boss said that 200,000 yuan is already the lowest he can go,â Zhao Zirui said.
âLittle Li, donât be so petty. This is our childâs life. If itâs settled, sheâll have an iron rice bowl for the rest of her life. You have to work hard to sell the house,â Zhao Jiefang said.
Zhao Quanli looked conflicted.
There was only 50,000 yuan at home now. If she really wanted to arrange for this job, she would have to borrow 150,000 yuan. If anything happened to her or her father, she would be utterly helpless.
However, such a good opportunity was placed right in front of them. If she did not seize it, it would really be a pity.
âBrother, what did you mean by signing a five-year contract? Do you mean as a contract worker?â Wang Jiajia asked.
Zhao Ziruiâs expression changed and he said awkwardly, âYes, as a contract worker.â
Hearing this, Zhao Quanli realized the problem.
âThat means despite spending 200,000 yuan on the job, she might even be fired after five years.â
âThatâs possible,â Zhao Zirui said. âBut as long as you work hard, people can usually stay on. You donât have to worry about this.â
âHow can you be so sure?â Zhao Quanli looked conflicted. She didnât care much about these unsaid rules. âIf they decide to let her go after five years, we wonât even be able to reason with him. Moreover, she might not even be able to earn 200,000 yuan in these five years. Only if she has an iron rice bowl like yours can she work for the rest of her life. â
âThis is due to a new internal policy. Weâre the last batch to be hired permanently. All future staff will be contract workers.â
âThat wonât do. Itâs too risky.â
Zhao Quanli and Wang Cuiping were very similar. They both shared a very simple peasant mindset.
He would rather earn less than take the risk.
They would never take a risky deal.
âIf you donât agree, thereâs nothing I can do. In any case, Iâve already found a contact for you. If you change your mind in the future, you wonât be able to enter a department like mine again.â
âSo be it.â Zhao Quanli said.
âLil Yi, donât you have a company? Can you get a job for your sister?â
âUm.
Lin Yi paused. This was a little difficult.
His own company had a minimum requirement of a masterâs degree at a 985 university.
She was an ordinary 211 undergraduate. She was not qualified to work there.
âItâs quite tiring to work in this company. Itâs really not as easy as being a civil servant.â
âBut I canât go there. It costs 200,000 yuan for a five-year-contract. Itâs not like I will have an iron rice bowl. I might as well hard for a private company in that time.â
âI know some people who might be able to help her.â
Lin Yi looked at Wang Jiajia, âZhonghai, Yanjing, or Yangcheng? Pick a location.â
Wang Jiajiaâs eyes widened. These three places were the richest cities in Huaxia. Her brother was a bit too amazing to offer her a choice of these three places, right?
âBrother, can I really choose from any of these three places?â
âYeah.â Lin Yi nodded. âPick a place you want to go.â
âIf I can really choose, I want to stay in Yangcheng. Itâs closer to home.â
âAlright, Iâll make a call and ask.â
Seeing Lin Yi pick up his phone, Guo Ningyue sat beside him, rubbing her hands together.
âAs expected on my brother. He has put on an amazing show without showing the slightest trace behind. He is truly skilled.â
âSecretary Wu, Happy New Year.â Lin Yi said with a smile.
These words shocked Zhao Zirui.
Calling a person like the Secretary right from the start, his connections were too strong.
However, on second thought, Zhao Zirui felt that it was nothing.
Nowadays, there was a secretary in every department, no matter how big or small.
There were even some secretaries who were not respected in their own departments, so this didnât mean anything.
âPresident Lin, thank you so much for giving me a New Year greeting despite your busy schedule. Iâm flattered.â
âYouâve helped me so much. Isnât it only right for me to come and wish you a happy new year?â
âI should be the one to say that.â Wu Zhaoyou laughed and said, âIf you need help in the future, just say it. Iâll definitely do my best to aid you.â
âIn that case, I really do have something I need Secretary Wuâs help with,â Lin
Yi said.
âI have a sister who just graduated from college and wants to be a civil servant. She took the tax exam and came in eighth in the written exam. However, the interview did not go so well. Can you do me a favor?â
âThe tax bureau isnât good. She will be running around all day. Howâs your sisterâs writing skills? Thereâs a vacancy for the position of secretary of the municipal committee. As long as her writing is good, sheâll be qualified to take this role. Ask your sister if itâs okay. Iâll arrange everything for her and she will have a clear career plan. To put it bluntly, itâll be an iron rice bowl.â
âAlright, Iâll ask for her opinion.â
Lin Yi covered the microphone and asked Wang Jiajia.
âCan you handle the job of a secretary in the municipal committee? It has the benefits of being a career in the government.â
âAh? The secretary of a municipal committee?â
Wang Jiajia was stunned. âWhich municipal committee?â
âThe Yangcheng Municipal Committee, of course.â Lin Yi said.
âBased on your rank in Yangcheng, you should at least be a deputy director. But since you just arrived, they wonât give you such a high administrative level right away. However, there are job vacancies available, and as long as you work hard, it wonât be a problem for you to eventually be promoted.â
âThatâs great. Iâm willing to do it. Iâll definitely do it well in the future and not embarrass you.â
âBrother, what are you talking about? You actually found her a civil servant job?â Zhao Zirui said.
âDonât let others fool you. They must be scamming you of your money.â
Lin Yi glanced at Zhao Zirui.. âDo you think the head of Yangcheng would cheat me of my money?â
