Chapter 57: Accepting the Invitation
This contact opportunity is rare. Knowing that the host wanted to know about the situation of Zhuangzi, Liu Yuan briefly introduced each family.
It only takes a cup of tea to reach the place across an alley. Liu Yuan's house is unremarkable, not new nor very old, just an ordinary adobe house.
Liu Yuan smiled apologetically, "My house is messy, please forgive me."
Hearing the voices outside, Liu Yuan's two sons came out first, followed by Liu Yuan's wife. The two younger daughters-in-law only poked their heads out of the kitchen door.
The four little children shouted "Grandpa" and ran straight towards Liu Yuan.
Finally, two trembling old people came out of the house. Liu Yuan's sons heard the noise and hurried over to support them.
There were twelve people in the family, young and old, standing in half of the yard.
Having four generations living under one roof is a great blessing.
Liu Yuan started with his parents and introduced them one by one.
Seeing the distinguished guests coming, you can see that these people are very enthusiastic and excited, but they don't know how to express their feelings, and their behavior is a bit restrained.
To deal with such an occasion, Feng Gu had to step up. She walked over and said a few words to everyone, even praising the children. Finally, she took out a dime and handed it to Liu Yuan's father, "Master, it's very rude to come empty-handed. I'll keep it for you to buy your favorite snacks."
The old man was a little confused. He didn't know who Feng Gu was, and he didn't understand the introduction, but he still recognized the silver. He looked at Liu Yuan and asked tremblingly, "Can you take it?"
Liu Yuan didn't expect Feng Gu to be so generous. It would be fine if it was a little less, but it would be a bit difficult to accept if it was too much.
"Old lady, this is for you, please keep it." After saying that, he walked to the old lady and started chatting with her. Liu Yuan's wife came over and accompanied Feng Gu into the inner room.
Liu Yuan supported his father and led Weng Xiaoxiao into the main hall, while his two sons hurried to the kitchen to pour water.
Worried that her daughter-in-law didn't know how to entertain the guests, she apologized to Fenggu, and Liu Yuan's wife went to the kitchen to prepare.
There is no preparation at home, so we can only do what we have.
Finally, four dishes were served: steamed salted fish, scrambled eggs, pickled vegetables, a plate of mixed wild vegetables, and a bowl of white rice. This was the highest standard of hospitality for a farmer.
"Master, I don't have anything to offer you, so you can just eat."
"Uncle Liu is very polite. That's good."
Weng Xiaoxiao followed along because she wanted to learn more about the new manager. If the manager was competent, she would be much more relaxed. After looking at the situation of this family, Weng Xiaoxiao felt that she had made the right choice.
Although life was difficult, the family was harmonious. The house was not big, even a little shabby, but very tidy. This was how a hardworking and simple farmer's family should be.
If the people in this village are as they seem, we can train the manpower we need in the future from among them.
"Uncle Liu, are there any children in the village studying?"
Liu Yuan shook his head. "I taught my son and grandson myself. I couldn't afford the tuition, so no one went to school."
Weng Xiaoxiao nodded and said nothing more.
"It's all because of poverty. My two sons are not stupid. It's a pity that they were delayed."
"Learning to read always brings more opportunities. The two brothers are not very old. If they have the opportunity to gain more experience, they will always have a bright future."
This was exactly what Liu Yuan wanted to say. Making money was the goal, but only by following a good boss could his descendants have hope. Now he could only fill his stomach and could not afford his own land. Without his own land, his family would be tenants for generations, with no hope of making a living.
"Boss, don't worry. If not for yourself, but for the sake of our descendants, I, Old Liu, will do my job well."
This was exactly what Weng Xiaoxiao wanted, as she was in need of reliable personnel.
"Uncle Liu, a journey of a thousand miles tests a person's ability, and time reveals a person's true character. Ability is secondary. Only loyal people will be given important positions, right?"
Liu Yuan nodded vigorously. This trust cannot be gained by simply expressing determination. Let's take it slow.
With Weng Xiaoxiao as the host, the men ate very reservedly. Weng Xiaoxiao naturally noticed this and put down her chopsticks when she was almost full. She sat for a while and then left the farm with Fenggu.
......
There was no news from the bank, but Weng Xiaoxiao was not anxious, thinking that they must be trying to find out her background. The bank calculated all kinds of data and came into contact with confidential information, so the person had to be someone the boss could fully trust.
The travel permit has a time limit. Now she has a house and land here, and a job, so she can register here without a guarantor. If she can handle it herself, she doesn't want to owe Ouyang Hua a favor.
In the next one or two years, she planned to stay in Yangzhou to grow stronger and run her own base. When she had enough strength, she would return to the capital and would not act rashly again.
The bank is not operated by the male protagonist himself, but by one of his classmates. If that person can accept the female protagonist dressing up as a man, he must be able to accept me, and with such a big handle in his hands, he will feel at ease to use me. However, I still have to wait for him to come to me, because being too enthusiastic will only make people suspicious.
Her job is technical, so she doesn't need to deal with people, and she only needs to be responsible to her employer. Moreover, the business information obtained through this channel is difficult to obtain elsewhere. Business relies on information asymmetry to earn price difference.
Writing storybooks can support herself but it cannot strengthen her foundation. Weng Xiaoxiao decided to treat writing as a hobby and a pastime to earn some pocket money.
The village was not far from the city, and Fenggu often rode there to take a look. It was a good way to relax, walk the horse, and keep an eye on the situation in the village. As she went there more often, she gradually became familiar with the people in the village. After getting to know them, everyone was no longer afraid of this "mother demon".
Generally speaking, they are all simple people, some of them are a bit cunning, but there are no bad guys who do evil. This is a good Zhuangzi.
Don't employ someone you doubt, and don't doubt someone you employ. Zhuangzi confidently left the care of Zhuangzi to Liu Yuan, and it was enough for Feng Gu to supervise him occasionally.
Weng Xiaoxiao didn't spend too much time on the bank, but she was not idle. Since she wanted to work in the bank, she had to be fully prepared and sort out a lot of useful information from memory. This way, when she met with people in person, she could show her value.
......
This wait lasted until the beginning of May.
"Mr. Weng, I am a clerk at Hengtong Bank. Manager He sent me here. Here is the invitation. Please come on time."
Aren't you going to have an interview? Why did you send me an invitation?
Weng Xiaoxiao took the invitation with both hands and opened it to read.
Dear Mr. Weng Xiao,
I only sigh that the world is gathering and I don't have the time. I have had some free time recently and I plan to invite you to a gathering at Louwailou at the beginning of the evening on the Dragon Boat Festival. I hope you will come early in the morning.
Sincerely, Nie Feng
