Chapter 267 Forced to Work

Chapter 267 Forced to Work
"Ok!"

I got on my dad's bicycle, with my mom following behind, and we got home in just a few minutes.

At this time, Liao Kai had almost finished cooking the meal at home and could eat at any time.

"Go wash your hands, son."

"Got it. I'll put the kettle in the house first."

"Brother, give me the kettle! I'll help you take it in."

"Thank you, second sister."

The meals that Liao Kai specially prepared for Li Jiayi were not only delicious but also extremely nutritious.

After finishing his meal, Li Jiayi walked around the East Courtyard for a few laps as a way of exercising, and then Ye Xin urged him to go and rest.

In the middle of the afternoon, Li Jiayi was woken up on time, then he got up, washed up, and was sent to the examination room.

The three-day exam was finally over, and Li Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little uncomfortable with being served every day.

After the exam, not only Li Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief, but the entire family including Liao Kai also breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the result of taking it too seriously. If you don't take it seriously and treat it as any other exam, this situation will not occur.

The day after the exam, Ye Xin, Li Aimin and Liao Kai went to work, and Li Jiayi was completely liberated.

As long as you attend classes step by step, you will be able to start working in three years.

The most important thing is that three years later, Li Jiayi will be exactly sixteen years old and old enough to start working.

But there is one more thing to do right now, which is to find a job for my eldest cousin.

My eldest cousin is seventeen years old this year and has just graduated from junior high school. If he starts working now, even if he can't get an administrative position, he should have no problem getting a clerk.

Mainly, it is easier for clerks to be promoted. If it is a technical position, such as fitter, welder, etc., it requires skills.

And you can only be promoted if you have the right skills, but it's not the same for clerks! How can I explain this? If the higher-ups are happy, you may be promoted.

After considering several factories, Li Jiayi finally decided to put his cousin in a woolen mill.

Anyway, the woolen mill is a big mill! It is easier to get promoted.

As for why he wasn't put in a bakery, what would a man do in a bakery? He wanted to relax!
The reason why he found a job for Xu Wenwen in a bakery was because the work there was easier.

If you were working in a woolen mill, unless you worked in an office, the work would be tiring. For example, Cheng Qiaoyun worked as a loom blocker in the mill.

To be honest, this is not something that an ordinary woman can do. That requires being treated like a man!

Moreover, as a worker in a woolen mill, it was really difficult for ordinary female workers to get promoted unless they did heavy or strenuous work.

He did what he thought. After his parents went to work, Li Jiayi drove his tricycle to the woolen mill.

He is not like Liao Kai, who can't find the right person, and even if he finds the right person, people may not do the work for him.

But Li Jiayi was different! Although many of the wool spinning factory leaders had never seen him, almost no one did not know him.

For others, it might be difficult to find a job in a woolen mill, but for him, it was just a matter of words.

Moreover, Li Jiayi would not look for the people below him. After arriving at the factory, he asked for the place and went straight to the factory director's office.

Looking at the sign in front of him that read "Factory Director's Office", Li Jiayi went up and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Li Jiayi pushed the door open and found a middle-aged man in his forties sitting in the office.

Needless to say, this is Qiao Xinrong, the director of the First Woolen Mill and the de facto head of the mill.

As for why he is the de facto top leader, it is because the official top leader is the secretary.

But the secretary basically didn't care about anything, and also because he was about to retire, the factory director Qiao Xinrong became the de facto top leader.

"Young comrade, who are you looking for?" Qiao Xinrong asked when he saw Li Jiayi coming in.

"I'm looking for you."

"Looking for me? What do you want to talk to me about?" Qiao Xinrong thought it was the child of a factory employee.

But it is not wrong to think so, Li Jiayi is indeed the son of a woolen mill employee.

But what he was thinking was whether there was any injustice, and then the child came to the factory.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, especially in a large factory with more than 10,000 employees. It is normal to have some work-related injuries.

And there are many people who come to his office to see him every year, so he classified Li Jiayi into this category.

"Come, sit down and talk slowly." Qiao Xinrong stood up, walked to the sofa and said.

This made Li Jiayi stunned and a little confused.

"Director Qiao, my name is Li Jiayi. I think you should have heard of me."

"Li Jiayi?" Director Qiao was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and asked, "You said your name is Li Jiayi?"

"Correct."

"Both your parents work in the factory?"

"Yes." Li Jia nodded.

"Hahaha, it's you! Please take a seat."

"Thank you."

Director Qiao personally went over to make Li Jiayi a cup of tea in an enamel pot and brought it over, saying, "I've only heard of your name before, but never met you in person. I didn't expect you to be so young." "Is Director Qiao disappointed?"

"No, no, no, I'm not disappointed. I'm even a little surprised." Qiao Xinrong said this absolutely from the heart.

In fact, he had long wanted to get Li Jiayi into the factory, so that the woolen mill would not be short of meat in the future.

After Li Jiayi took a sip of tea and put it down, Director Qiao asked, "I wonder why you came to see me today?"

"I do have something I would like to ask Director Qiao for help with."

"Oh! Tell me about it."

"It's like this, I have a cousin who graduated from junior high school this year. You know the current situation, so he wants to find a job. So I came to you."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Qiao Xinrong touched his chin and said, "Looking for a job! What kind of job does your cousin want to find?"

"Director Qiao, my cousin graduated from junior high school and is seventeen years old this year. In today's society where most people only have primary and secondary education, he is considered an intellectual. Can you see if there is a clerk position? It doesn't matter where, any department will do."

Qiao Xinrong thought about it, and then said, "I can arrange this job for your cousin, but you have to promise me one thing."

"Director Qiao, don't go too far!"

Li Jiayi thought that Director Qiao wanted to use this incident to get him to give the woolen mill more meat or something, so he said that.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t agree, my cousin has already been arranged for this job.

Don't forget that he is the one who provides all the oil and water for the woolen mill!

As for the meat processing plant, it stopped supplying pork as early as April last year.

Moreover, the pork storage capacity of the entire imperial capital at that time was only more than three million kilograms.

By May last year, pork reserves were completely depleted, and only canned meat and canned fish could be used to replace fresh meat.

By July last year, even canned food was out of stock, and the supply of meat and eggs had been completely stopped.

Only occasionally were some fish supplied to patients with edema, and in very small quantities.

Yes, there are many patients with edema in the capital now. The reason why there are so many people is, of course, because of malnutrition.

So now, except for a few janitors, all other employees in the meat processing factory are staying at home.

However, since it was force majeure, the meat processing plant still paid wages. It’s not that people don’t want to work, but that there is no work to do. You can’t blame them!

"Not too much, absolutely not too much."

"Oh! Then tell me." Li Jiayi had already thought about it. As long as it was not too excessive, he would agree.

Anyway, I am making money by myself, so it doesn’t matter if I ask for ten or twenty more wild boars.

"I hope you can come to work in our factory."

"What?" Li Jiayi looked at Director Qiao in surprise and asked, "Did I hear it wrong?"

"You heard me right. I just want you to work in the factory."

"Director Qiao, I'm only thirteen years old, and I'm still in school."

"I know, and I also know that you're going to technical secondary school soon."

Although Director Qiao had never met Li Jiayi, he was still quite concerned about him.

He originally thought that Li Jiayi would be going to technical secondary school soon, and would be at least fifteen or sixteen years old, but he didn't expect that he was only thirteen years old, which was why he was surprised.

Maybe it’s because Li Jiayi is young! So no one has grabbed him yet. If he was really 15 or 16 years old, he might not have gotten the job at the wool spinning mill.

"Director Qiao, if you knew that, why did you let me come to work in the factory? Besides, this doesn't comply with the policy! I'm not old enough."

Under normal circumstances, one can start working officially at the age of sixteen. Of course, if you are an apprentice, you can start at the age of fifteen.

"I'm not asking you to work officially, I'm just putting your name on the factory list and counting your years of service."

"nominal?"

"Yes, I want you to work in the purchasing department of our factory. You don't have to come to the factory, just complete the tasks. I will pay you a salary every month. When you graduate from secondary technical school, you will be officially employed, and there will be no internship period. What do you think?"

"Director Qiao, I don't want to go to work now!" Li Jiayi said helplessly.

"I know, I didn't really ask you to work, you were just given a name. As for the mission, it's the same as if you didn't have any."

Li Jiayi touched his chin and said, "Then I am an apprentice?"

"Of course not. The factory will pay you a salary based on the administrative level 30. Even though it's not much, only 23 yuan a month, it still counts as a job."

To be honest, Li Jiayi doesn't care about the salary. What attracts him is the job.

Work may not seem important now, but in a few years, when he is his age, work will be more important.

"Okay, Director Qiao, I promise you, but I have to make it clear first that I will only be a figurehead and will not come to work in the factory."

"No problem." Director Qiao agreed immediately, then opened the drawer and took out two employment forms.

Li Jiayi took the employment form in his hand, looked at it, and asked, "Director Qiao, I just need to fill this out, right?"

"No, no, no, you don't have to fill it out. These two employment forms are for you. As for who you give them to, it's up to you."

"Uh! Isn't this my employment form?"

"Yes, I will handle it for you personally. The two forms I give you are for the onboarding clerk. You are an administrative position."

 PS: Love is always there, can you give me a monthly ticket? Thank you!
