The sister-in-law laughed and said, "Trading company, doesn't that mean you are talking to me?"
"There are only a few well-known trading companies in Jiangbei District. With your ability, you must not be a small company, right?"
"Meihua, Limei, Bole, Hanhai, which one did you go to?"
Sophie was stunned. She had just dealt with it casually, but she didn't expect that she would get exactly what she wanted.
I was afraid that my sister-in-law would be overly concerned, so I didn't hide it. I hesitated for a while before asking, "It's Hanhai. Sister-in-law, have you heard of it?"
My sister-in-law patted her thigh and said, "Of course I've heard of it. Hanhai Trading is one of the best in our Jiangbei District. Especially recently, I heard that it was fully acquired by a foreign company. Now it's awesome!"
As he was talking, someone outside answered, "Hey, who is talking about our company?"
The sister-in-law looked back, her expression was stern and she said nothing.
The people who came were my second uncle’s family, and the person who spoke was my husband’s cousin’s girlfriend.
Ever since my mother-in-law was hospitalized last time, this family came to make trouble once, and the relationship between the two families has not been very good.
Later, my mother-in-law was discharged from the hospital and we had several more private contacts with her.
Although the house matter has not been settled for the time being, the relationship has eased due to the respect of the elders.
Mother Zhao stood up and said, "His second uncle is here, come in and sit down."
The second uncle carried the fruit basket and said, "I heard that Xiaoman is hospitalized. Let's come over and see how his recovery is going."
After some pleasantries, he looked at Sophie and said, "Isn't this Xiaodong's girlfriend? Why didn't Xiaodong see it?"
Sophie responded politely, "Second uncle, Zhao Dong went to get water for Xiaoman."
Zhao Qing also came here today, and when he saw Sophie, his eyes couldn't move.
Xiaolan pinched him and resumed the conversation: "Sister-in-law, what did you just say about Hanhai Trade? Is it because my cousin is looking for a job?"
The sister-in-law didn't want to lose Sophie's limelight in front of Xiaolan, but she didn't know how to answer the question, so she looked back.
Sophie didn't care and admitted generously: "Yes, I'm still thinking about it."
Xiaolan said proudly, "Considering it? Cousin-in-law, are you saying that Hanhai is considering it?"
"No wonder you don't know yet, right?"
"Hanhai was recently acquired by a foreign company. The first round of investment was more than 10 billion. Now it is a key enterprise supported by our Jiangbei District!"
"Not only that, the benefits of all employees have been increased by 20%!"
The second uncle answered, "Sister-in-law, you still don't know, Xiaoqing's girlfriend works in Hanhai."
"This time the nature of the company has changed, the benefits are really good, and there is paid annual leave at the end of the year."
"For international travel, Xiaoqing and I can also go together, and the company will pay all the expenses!"
"Look at foreign companies, their benefits, treatment, and corporate culture are much better than those in our country!"
The ward was quiet and no one answered.
But the second uncle kept chattering, especially between the lines, he could not hide his pride and show off, which made my sister-in-law angry and had a toothache.
With that said, the second uncle said proudly: "By the way, Xiaolan, don't you work in the Human Resources Department of Hanhai?"
"Your cousin-in-law is not an outsider either. You can go back and ask if you can pass the interview. If not, please help smooth things over."
"In the future, I will have real relatives in Hanhai, and I will be able to take care of everything."
Xiaolan's chin almost reached the sky, "Uncle, I can only say that I will try my best."
"You don't know, there are so many people applying for jobs right now, they are almost crushing the threshold. Many people are struggling to get in!"
After chatting for a few words, she regained her confidence in front of Sophie, "Um...cousin, I'll go back and say hello to you."
"Although I am very familiar with the department leaders, I can only say that I will try my best. You'd better not have too much hope!"
"Of course, even if you can't join our company, I can still recommend other small companies to you!"
"By the way, which department are you applying for?"
