I was a daigou in the 60s

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wenlan came in from outside with a washbasin. She had taken a leave of absence today specifically to accompany him to take the exam.

Xiao Dongqing put down the basin in his hand, his face as gloomy as if it was going to rain.

"Just now I went to the bathroom and heard Wu Cuihua telling people that our little brother is arrogant."

"Somehow the news that he was going to take the college entrance exam early got around."

"Now everyone in the textile mill is talking about it."

"If I find out who deliberately spread the news, I will go find him and confront him!"

"Since it has spread, let them say whatever they want."

"I have an exam today anyway, so it doesn't matter what they say after the exam."

The exam lasted for three days and everyone was in a state of high tension.

After the exam, Xiao Dongqing had a good sleep and was then called out by his good friends Liu Qiang and Li Wei to play.

Liu Qiang and Li Wei each rode their family bicycles to the bottom of the tube building, and Xiao Dongqing came out carrying a bag.

The sun was shining and he was wearing a straw hat.

His short hair falls naturally in front of his forehead, making him look handsome and energetic.

Liu Qiang shouted excitedly.

"Xiao Dongqing!"

Xiao Dongqing responded with a smile and took out some local specialties he bought on a business trip from his bag.

Dried fish, dried shrimp and some ethnic minority handicrafts were distributed to two friends.

Liu Qiang and Li Wei accepted the gifts and were deeply moved.

"Why are you still buying things for us? They must be very expensive, right?"

"How much is it? We will give it to you next time."

Li Wei followed suit, obviously very happy to receive these gifts.

Xiao Dongqing said pretending to be angry.

"I'm just going out to bring you some local specialties, why should I pay you?"

"If you really consider me a friend, why are you so distant?"

Seeing that his face was not right, the two of them quickly put away the money they were about to give him.

After all, we hadn't seen each other for a long time, so as soon as we met, we started chatting excitedly.

"Holly, how did you do on this exam?"

"We didn't dare to contact you for fear of disturbing your review."

Liu Qiang and Li Wei were shocked ever since they learned that Xiao Dongqing was going to take the college entrance examination.

Thinking about Xiao Dongqing's usual performance, they both felt worried for him.

Now that the exam is over, Liu Qiang couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"It's okay, I should have no problem getting my diploma."

Xiao Dongqing felt there was no need to be humble.

In the past few days, many people in the family quarters asked him about his grades in a cold tone, and he always answered like this.

Because of his self-confidence, everyone spread rumors that Xiao Dongqing had poor grades but insisted on taking the college entrance examination early, which was really a false pretense.

Many people were waiting to see Xiao Dongqing's results so they could laugh at him.

Li Wei said casually.

"The exams are over, so who cares? Holly is better than those who only know how to gossip behind people's backs."

"Come on, it's a rare opportunity to get out and have fun, so forget about those people who spoil the fun." Xiao Dongqing said.

"That's right." Li Wei agreed.

"Our Dongqing was featured in the People's Daily!"

Liu Qiang snorted.

"I'm angry! A month is almost over."

"Dongqing's temporary position is about to expire. I feel sorry for Dongqing every time I think about it."

Xiao Dongqing didn't expect that Liu Qiang still cared about this matter.

So I told them that I was about to participate in the department store's internal recruitment.

Seeing the surprise and joy in the two's eyes, Xiao Dongqing asked them to keep it a secret.

"My family doesn't know about this yet."

"I'm telling you today that the job at the supply and marketing cooperative is only temporary. My goal is the department store."

Although they were happy for Xiao Dongqing, they also had concerns.

"I heard that it's very difficult to recruit employees in department stores. The competition is fierce, and the children of those employees have inside information."

"If you don't have these, can you beat them in the exam?"

"I have a relative who was a very good student. He also used a lot of connections to apply for a department store job, but he didn't get in."

Xiao Dongqing rubbed his fingers, thinking in his mind.

"It's okay. I know what to do."

After hearing what Xiao Dongqing said, the two felt relieved, knowing that he always had a plan for doing things.

If you are sure, there must be a way.

On that day, the three of them had a great time.

First, we went to a state-owned restaurant in the south city to taste the chefs' cooking skills and ordered the signature beef stewed noodles;

After dinner, I watched an anti-Japanese film and ate some cool, sweet popsicles.

Finally, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

It was not until it got dark that the three of them said goodbye reluctantly.

After a day of relaxation, Xiao Dongqing felt that the pressure in his head was relieved a lot.

The subject knowledge that once gave him a headache seemed to become clearer.

He regained his motivation to do things.

In the Nancheng State-owned Hotel, Huang Yaohui opened his eyes wide.

He looked in surprise at Xiao Dongqing who suddenly appeared across from him and invited him to dinner.

He wondered to himself why this young man suddenly thought of treating him to noodles.

Could it be that if someone is being too attentive for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief?

Huang Yaohui looked around and asked anxiously in a low voice.

"You said you wanted to apply for our department store?"

"How is this possible? How did you know about the recent job openings at the department store?"

Moreover, the recruitment information was not made public at all.

The entire process was completed quickly internally, and the outside world had no idea what was going on!

As for why the recruitment information announced to the public has never appeared in the public eye.

This is actually an unwritten rule within the supply and marketing system, which gives priority to employees' children when recruiting.

External personnel will only be considered when the number of employees' children is insufficient to meet the demand.

Xiao Dongqing did not answer directly.

"I just want to know if you can help me get the inside information?"

The reason why Xiao Dongqing approached Huang Yaohui.

Because he learned that Huang Yaohui was not a typical descendant of a supply and marketing system employee.

Instead, he entered the unit through his personal relationship with a director of the department store.

Huang Yaohui was startled by Xiao Dongqing's directness. He looked evasive and spoke hesitantly.

"I have the information, but I can't give it to you." Xiao Dongqing frowned.

"why?"

Huang Yaohui smiled bitterly in his heart, this internal information was extremely valuable.

It was with the help of this information that I was able to enter the department store.

The dissemination of this information is extremely cautious, as if it were leaked, the consequences would be disastrous.

"If I give you the information today and you successfully enter the department store in the future, I will definitely be discovered!"

"At that time, I will not only lose trust."

"I might even be seen as a traitor by my colleagues. How am I going to live my life from now on?"

"I really can't help you with this matter. Look, this is the meal money. Take it and forget about today's matter."

Huang Yaohui put down his chopsticks, took out the money painfully, and hurriedly prepared to leave.

Xiao Dongqing raised his eyebrows and didn't even look at the money on the table.

"and many more."

Huang Yaohui looked bitter.

"Brother Xiao, please forgive me if I lose the internal information."

"Those people are determined to eat me alive. I really can't give it to you!"

Huang Yaohui regretted it deeply.
