Chapter 270 Work
Shen Shuyu was woken up early by her grandmother as they had to report for duty today. After having breakfast, she rode her bicycle and went to the commune with Shen Qiu.
When they arrived at the commune, the two sisters went to the office together and took out her identity card. The person on duty at the office was an older sister with short hair named Chen. Sister Chen looked up at her.
"There are two jobs, one is a movie projectionist and the other is a telephone operator. Which one do you choose?"
Both positions are very popular and are jobs that others are scrambling to do.
Sister Chen knew that she was the daughter of a martyr, so she was not as strict with her as with others. She was afraid that she didn't know what the two positions were specifically about, so she patiently explained to her.
"The projectionist is responsible for showing movies. He often has to go to the countryside. If it's late, he may not finish until one or two o'clock.
The job of a telephone operator is relatively easy. You don’t have to travel back and forth to the countryside. You just need to answer and transfer calls in the telephone room.”
"Sister Chen, I choose to be a telephone operator." In fact, if Shen Shuyu had stayed in the Shenjiabao Brigade, she would have chosen to be a film projectionist. Even though this is a job of projecting movies, it also pays off.
There is not much entertainment these days, but if we can watch a movie, everyone can be happy for several days.
When we got to the countryside, everyone was very polite to the comrades who showed the movies. Not only did they treat them with good food and drinks, but they also gave them gifts to take away when they left.
This position is basically done by men, because the equipment for projecting movies is very heavy and women generally cannot carry it. Also, it is not safe for women to get off work late and go home late.
These had no effect on Shen Shuyu. She was strong and had some skills. No one was safer than her when walking at night.
But she is dating Gu Jiandong now, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will join the army. She plans to sell this job to Shen Qiu at that time. She can do the job of film projectionist, but Shen Qiu can't do it. Even if Shen Qiu can do it, Shen Shuyu is worried about him getting off work so late.
Of course, she can also choose the job of film projectionist now, and when the job is sold to Shen Qiu, Shen Qiu will transfer to another position, but the position will definitely not be that good.
So it’s better to choose the job of telephone operator at the beginning to save trouble.
Now there are two good positions for her to choose from. That's because she is the child of a martyr and the country favors her and has reserved them for her.
Sister Chen was not surprised at all that she would choose the position of operator. The position of operator was easy and anyone with a discerning eye would know that she would choose this.
Of course, the position of filmmaker is also good, but this position is more suitable for gay men.
Sister Chen went through the onboarding procedures for her and took her to the call center. "Xiao Liu, this is a new colleague. She will be on duty with you from now on."
When Xiao Liu saw a new colleague, his eyes turned into crescents. He put the melon seeds on the table, wiped them on his clothes, and stretched out his hand. "Hello, my name is Liu Yueyuan, you can just call me Yueyuan."
Shen Shuyu smiled and stretched out her hand, "Hello, my name is Shen Shuyu.
"She looked at Shen Qiu, "This is my sister Shen Qiu, she came here with me to report."
Shen Qiu smiled and stretched out her hand, "Sister Yueyuan, my name is Shen Qiu."
Sister Chen still had work to do, so she said, "Xiao Liu, help Xiao Shen get familiar with the work process.
Xiao Shen, if you don't understand something, just ask Xiao Liu. If you have any questions, you can also come to the front office to find me."
After Sister Chen left, Liu Yueyuan took Shen Shuyu's arm in a familiar manner, "It's great that you're here. I'll have a companion now. You don't know how boring it is for me to stay alone in the call center. There's no one to chat with. I eat sunflower seeds every day, and my mouth is covered with blisters."
She added, "My work is not very busy. If there is a call, I will answer it. If someone needs to transfer the call, I can just press a few buttons to transfer the call."
Liu Yueyuan began to teach Shen Shuyu how to use the equipment. After just one explanation, Shen Shuyu already knew how to use it.
Shen Qiu looked around curiously and was quite satisfied. This job was effortless and brainless, and was most suitable for her elder sister.
Shen Qiu could get along with everyone. After a while, Liu Yueyuan patted her on the shoulder and said, "From now on, you are Sister Yueyuan's biological sister. If you have any problems, just tell me and Sister Yueyuan will do whatever she can."
Liu Yueyuan must have a background to be able to work as a telephone operator, otherwise she would not have been able to get such a ghost job.
In today's job, each person has his own job. When someone moves to another job, the next person will have a chance to come in. Currently, the prerequisite is that you have to know the news.
Nowadays, most of the good jobs are taken internally. Of course, this is not only the case now, but also in the future.
Good jobs are all obtained through internal referrals.
For example, Shen Shuyu, who had not traveled through time, was able to get the security job because her parents used their connections.
You can avoid decades of detours compared to your classmates and achieve your goal in one step.
She still remembers what her resentful best friend once said: When she was a child, she hated people with connections, but when she grew up, she hated herself for not having connections.
Nowadays, if there is no change, people basically work until retirement. After retirement, their children or grandchildren take over. One job can be passed down for several generations and can support several generations.
This is also why some people are scrambling to do jobs like carrying manure and sweeping the streets.
Shen Qiu stuffed a few candies into Liu Yueyuan's mouth and said, "Sister Yueyuan, you will be my real sister from now on. If I find bird eggs, I will roast them and give them to you.
Sister Yueyuan, you are my biological sister, and my eldest sister is also my biological sister. So, the three of us are biological sisters. We are all biological sisters. From now on, I will trouble you, Sister Yueyuan, to take care of my eldest sister."
"Of course I need to take care of my sisters."
The two of them were so affectionate, like long-lost sisters. Shen Shuyu was sitting next to them, the corners of her mouth twitching constantly.
After a day in the call center today, Shen Shuyu also became familiar with the basic work process.
At half past five, Shen Shuyu and Shen Qiu got on their bicycles to go home. Shen Qiu waved and said, "Sister Yueyuan, let's go."
Liu Yueyuan said, "Shu Yu, our work is not very busy. Bring some more melon seeds tomorrow. If you have any work to do, bring it over as well."
Their work is so easy that they often doze off. For example, Liu Yueyuan brought all the clothes and shoes she wanted to make.
"it is good."
On the way, Shen Qiu said, "Sister, I think Sister Yueyuan is a good person. She's not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble."
After hanging out with these aunts for a long time, Shen Qiu also learned how to judge people. She could probably tell what kind of person he was like and whether he could get along with her just by talking to him for a few words.
"Big sister knows." This girl came here to help her just because she was worried that she wouldn't get along well with her colleagues. She worries about her more than her grandma does.
Old Mrs. Shen came back before it was time to get off work, and left all the remaining work to her grandson.
She was waiting for her granddaughter to come back home. When she heard the sound of wheels turning, she came out to greet her. "My dear, Xiaoqiu is back. How is she? Have you finished your work?"
