I was a daigou in the 60s

"Here." Xia Qingyao responded, coming back to her senses from the previous chat, with a hint of confusion on her face.

Director Dong's attitude instantly became as gentle as spring, and he said to Xia Qingyao.

"Comrade Xia Qingyao, during the one month you worked at the Nancheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative, you performed very well."

"According to the decision of the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative, it will start from tomorrow."

"You will be transferred to the purchasing department of Nantong No. 1 Department Store."

"This is the first time in our Nantong supply and marketing system that someone has been promoted to an administrative position in such a short period of time."

"Comrade Xia Qingyao will become a member of the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative from now on. Let's applaud her!"

Xia Qingyao was surprised and pursed her lips slightly.

"thanks for your support."

The Nancheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative was just a transitional stage for her, although she had known that there would be a day when she would be transferred.

But she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

She inadvertently glanced at Xiao Dongqing at the counter opposite.

Xiao Dongqing was clapping and cheering her on. When he saw her gaze, he gave her an encouraging smile.

Xia Qingyao's heart moved, and she felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

Xue Zhen clapped her hands enthusiastically, her palms even turning red, and she seemed even more excited than Xia Qingyao.

"Comrade Xia Qingyao is truly amazing! There's a saying that goes, 'Comparing people kills you, comparing goods leads to throwing them away.'"

"Some people aren't even regular employees, but Comrade Xia Qingyao, you're a graduate of a legitimate university."

"It's amazing that he can become a cadre in the supply and marketing system at such a young age!"

Everyone around laughed and agreed.

Zhou Lifen, in particular, laughed the most heartily.

"Isn't this what Xiao Xiao is talking about? The same person, but with very different fates."

"Xiao Xiao, the gap between you and Comrade Xia Qingyao is really not even a little bit!"

The words of these people are like sharp blades.

Xiao Dongqing knew in his heart that he had become the target of ridicule again this time.

Sister Wang frowned and comforted softly.

"Don't listen to them, you're also very good. Master, I believe you'll be able to get into the supply and marketing cooperative sooner or later!"

Xiao Dongqing was determined and believed that he would be able to work in the supply and marketing system.

I don't care about those people's sarcasm at all.

But, he snorted and said.

"Master, I'm petty. I'll go settle the score with them after get off work. Please don't think I'm stingy."

Sister Wang was stunned for a moment, then she laughed, as if she had vented her anger for him.

“No problem!”

What a pity, he is such a good guy, even the leaders of the Municipal Supply Chain have a new look on him.

But because he was a substitute, he didn't even have the chance to stay in the Nancheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

In contrast, Xia Qingyao was very young and became a cadre right after graduating from university.

The future is bright, but his fate is much more tortuous.

After Director Dong announced Xia Qingyao's good news, he left with a stern face.

He will leave here tomorrow, and today is his last shift here.

Xiao Dongqing wanted to stand guard for the last time, but some people were unwilling to let him do so.

An aunt who lived in the tube building of a textile factory came to buy pillowcases for her son's wedding.

She wanted the one with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, which was a rare style.

It just so happened that I had an acquaintance named Xiao Dongqing in the Nancheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative, so I wanted to ask him for help.

"It's no use looking for him! He won't even be a substitute anytime soon."

"He left after get off work. He's not from our supply and marketing cooperative at all."

These words came from Zhao Hualan's mouth. Today she seemed like a different person, her words were sharp and sarcastic.

It seems that she has completely fallen out with Xiao Dongqing.

Maybe he thought that since he was leaving anyway, there was no need to worry about anything.

The surprised look the aunt gave me as she left.

Xiao Dongqing could almost foresee that gossip about him would spread in the textile factory's staff quarters again tonight.

When Xiao Dongqing saw Zhao Hualan's true face, he laughed out loud.

During work in the afternoon, Director Dong's attitude towards Xiao Dongqing was also bad.

Just ask Accountant Ren to inform him to complete the handover of all work before leaving get off work that day, and he doesn't need to come again tomorrow.

Typical case of crossing the river and then burning the bridge.

There is no humanity at all, Xiao Dongqing muttered to himself.

Accountant Ren seemed a little embarrassed, but when he came over to hand over the items, he couldn't help but say a few words.

"Why did you want to provoke your boss? He originally promised to make you a regular employee."

"It's all right now. I spoke too quickly and everything is gone."

Accountant Ren actually admired Xiao Dongqing very much. He thought he was loyal and capable, but unfortunately he lacked background.

A substitute, nothing.

Xiao Dongqing understood that Accountant Ren was telling the truth.

There are many leaders like Director Dong in the workplace.

If you care about everything, you will get angry to death.

However, Xiao Dongqing's life goal is not grand. He just wants to find a stable job in the supply and marketing system.

In order to run his own purchasing business, promotion and salary increase are not the most important things to him.

As long as he passes the exam and gets a job as a salesperson in a department store, he will have a stable job.

Xiao Dongqing didn't want to be promoted, as long as he didn't make mistakes and get fired.

What was the big deal about offending a supply and marketing cooperative manager? He didn't care at all.

Seeing that he was indifferent, Accountant Ren shook his head.

I think young people are just ignorant of the ways of the world and don’t know that temper is actually the least valuable thing.

After a day's work, Xiao Dongqing packed up his belongings and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he actually asked Zhao Hualan and Xue Zhen for the salted fish they had given him before.

The expressions on their faces were as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly.

Zhao Hualan opened her eyes wide. It was the first time she met such a casual person.

"That's really strange. In my life, I've never seen anyone give something away and then ask for it back."

"If you can't afford it, don't give it. It's so shameless. You are so poor!" she complained.

Xiao Dongqing was not polite about this.

"I sent the gifts out of good intentions, hoping to get along with you."

"But it seems I was blind, and you actually humiliated me in person."

"Why should I give you a gift? I'm not stupid."

Zhao Hualan was unwilling to hand over the salted fish, but Xiao Dongqing insisted.

"You don't have to give it to me, but I'll come pick it up when you get home from get off work."

Zhao Hualan's face was gloomy and uncertain. Xiao Dongqing was not afraid of losing face, but she still cared about her reputation.

"It's just a broken salted fish, you think it's a treasure."

"I'll give it to you. How dare you give away such a small amount of weight? You're so stingy!"

After saying that, she angrily threw the salted fish to Xiao Dongqing, who calmly put it in his bag.

In comparison, Xue Zhen is more thin-skinned.

As soon as Xiao Dongqing opened his mouth, she handed over the salted fish with a dark face.

"I didn't expect that Comrade Xiao Dongqing, you are such a stingy person. I really misjudged you!" she said angrily.

"That's not being stingy, that's self-respect. If someone is willing to be 'generous' enough to give me two pounds of meat."
