After the birthday party, Xu’s father was the first to give away a children’s smart watch, Xu’s mother gave him hand-knitted gloves, and Yang Lina gave him a beautiful skirt.
As for the triplets, under everyone’s guidance, one person said:
"Born...li...happy...happy!"
Finally, Xu Dong also took out the birthday gifts he had prepared, a pair of generous gold bracelets for each person, and a tablet.
The gold bracelet is for adults and can only be worn when they grow up. This is also for the safety of the two of them.
At the same time, Wang Xiujuan and Zheng Yan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home and were looking through the special gifts they had just brought back.
"Two dried chickens, two dried rabbits, two dried geese, and actually ten buckets of milk powder, what a big deal! Mom, why did aunty give our family so many gifts in this picture?" Zheng Yan asked curiously.
Wang Xiujuan said angrily: "What other reasons could there be? Of course I'm just asking for help!"
"Their family seems to be in pretty good condition. Do you need Lao Zhang's help? Is it a business matter?" Zheng Yan frowned and said,
"This kind of help is not easy to help!"
At the same time, I couldn’t bear to part with these gifts.
"It's not a business matter, otherwise I wouldn't accept it." Wang Xiujuan shook her head.
"What on earth is that?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just to find a job within the system for Xu Dong. It doesn't matter if it's established or not." Wang Xiujuan replied, touching her granddaughter's head.
Zheng Yan was doubly surprised and said in astonishment: "Her son is already in his thirties, and he has just entered the system now. He has no development prospects at all. What does their family want?"
"Just try to be safe!"
Wang Xiujuan continued her analysis: "I heard from your Aunt Zhang that since Xiao Xu resigned, he has either been fooling around outside or staying at home all day long. If he continues like this, he will be useless."
"No way. She seems to be in good spirits. Isn't it as exaggerated as you say?"
Zheng Yan felt that there was no sign of decadence in Xu Dong.
"It looks good now, but it won't work as time goes by. People will become lazier and lazier, and they won't sit down when they can lie down. It will be difficult to correct it again." Wang Xiujuan looked like someone who has been there before.
Seeing that her mother-in-law's mouth was dry, Zheng Yan poured her a glass of water, then gritted her teeth and said:
"I'll call Lao Zhang later and ask him to introduce me to a job. It shouldn't be difficult."
Wang Xiujuan took a sip of water and expressed her disapproval. She analyzed:
"Your Aunt Zhang's family is not an ordinary family. Although she said that her requirements are not high, she is just saying it and cannot take it seriously, otherwise she will offend others.
In my opinion, it's just about looking for a job. It doesn't matter if it's almost the same. Their family is not short of money anyway, but it must be a big employer.
It's only when you say this that you gain face, Lao Zhang is the most face-saving person, so let's just do what he likes, and that's for sure."
Zheng Yan felt that what her mother-in-law said made sense, so she nodded and said, "I know what to say."
…
Early the next morning, Xu's mother received a call from Wang Xiujuan. It turned out that the job had been announced, and Xu Dong was asked to come over for an interview in the morning. It was basically just a formality.
Xu's mother hung up the phone, walked to the yard, and quickly pulled Xu Dong up from the recliner.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"Hurry up and change into serious clothes. Your Aunt Wang has introduced you to a job and is waiting for you to go for an interview." Xu Ma replied.
Xu Dong almost suspected that he heard wrongly. When did he say that he was going to find a job, and that Aunt Wang? No wonder my mother was so determined in giving gifts yesterday.
"Is it okay if I don't go?" Xu Dong asked tentatively.
There was nothing I could do in my previous life. I worked desperately for nearly ten years, and in the end I almost died of exhaustion.
He no longer wants to work hard in this life, and just lives in the courtyard like this. Anyway, there is no shortage of food and drink, and he will be comfortable for the rest of his life.
Xu Ma's tone was very firm: "No, I have to go, unless you disown me and your dad. If you really think so, then your dad and I will go back to Luyang tomorrow."
Xu Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He really couldn't refuse what he said.
They owed their parents a lot in their previous life, and the couple gave almost all their savings and energy to their family.
Xu's mother even gave away her three grandchildren with her own eyes. The blow she suffered was not much less than Xu Dong's, but she gritted her teeth and persevered in order to maintain Xu Dong's small family.
"Don't even think about sabotaging it. If it doesn't work this time, there will be next time, and the next time, until you get the interview." Xu Ma hurriedly added.
"Can't I go?" Xu Dong said helplessly, "By the way, which company did Aunt Wang introduce?"
Xu's mother immediately beamed with joy: "Aunt Wang, you really have nothing to say. This time I introduce you to an electric power company. How many people squeezed their heads and couldn't get in!"
Xu Dong was a little surprised. If it was an electric power company, it would not be bad to sneak in. It would be like putting a "talisman" on himself.
After all, power companies have always been the "sacred mountain that protects the country" and will only become more and more important in the future.
So he asked: "Is it Daxia Power Grid or Xia Electric Group?"
Of the two companies, the former sells electricity and is a monopoly. It is said that the welfare benefits rank second among state-owned enterprises, second only to Daxia Tobacco;
The latter generates electricity, and its status will be further improved in the future. The disadvantage is that power plants are basically located in suburban areas, making it inconvenient to go to work.
"It doesn't seem to be the case."
Xu Ma was a little unsure, so she quickly dug out the text message she had just received, and then confirmed: "It's Yanjing Electric Power Company."
Xu Dong took out his mobile phone and searched for the company's profile. After checking, he found out that it was a subsidiary of Daxia Power Grid in Yanjing. The key is that it is close to home, only half an hour's drive away.
It was a good choice. He planned to go and have a look first.
An hour later, Xu Dong, dressed in formal attire, appeared at the headquarters of Yanjing Electric Power Company. The headquarters building was very distinctive in design, with a typical large eaves architectural style. It looked like an old building from the beginning of the last century.
Because he had an appointment in advance, Xu Dong filled out his resume and waited for less than ten minutes before being taken into an office.
The person interviewing him was a female executive who looked to be in her forties. She wore glasses and had her hair tied up in a bun. Her expression was very serious, and her movements showed that she was shrewd and capable.
"Hello, I'm Xu Dong here for an interview."
Xu Dong seemed a little reserved. After all, this was his first time interviewing at such a large state-owned enterprise.
The female executive nodded, motioned Xu Dong to sit down, and then introduced herself: "My surname is Su, and I am the director of the company's human resources department. You can call me Director Su."
"Hello, Director Su!"
"I read your resume, and it basically meets our recruitment requirements. The company happens to be actively expanding in response to the instructions of the superior department, and there are still many job opportunities." Director Su introduced.
"Looks like I'm lucky."
Next, Director Su asked a few interview questions symbolically, and Xu Dong told the truth and answered fairly.
It's not brilliant, but there's nothing wrong with it either.
Although Director Su did not say it clearly in the end, he gave a clear hint that he would definitely stay.
Xu Dong quickly thanked you: "Sorry to trouble you!"
"You're welcome, I want to hear first what are your requirements for a job?"
After all, the person in front of me was introduced by Zhang Kai, an old acquaintance. It was said that Zhang Kai was about to be promoted again, so Director Su was willing to put more thought into it.
