Thinking of this, Luo Yu felt relieved, feeling that there was still a chance for things to turn around. After all, she had ranked first in the exam and entered the office on her own merit. There was no way she would be assigned to do manual labor.

As long as it's not physically demanding, we can deal with the rest later.

Section Chief Ren, with his slightly chubby, dark face, smiled obsequiously. "Comrade Luo, the office isn't short-staffed, but other departments are. We had a meeting and decided to send you to work at the Women's Federation, which is the best place to develop your skills. What do you think?"

Luo Yu's eyes lit up when she heard that she was going to transfer to the Women's Federation.

Is there such a good thing?

But in an instant, he suppressed his smile, lowered his head, and remained silent.

Section Chief Ren also noticed Luo Yu's expression, but the expected joy did not appear; she was only happy for a moment, and seemed to have some concerns.

"Is Comrade Luo facing any difficulties? Tell us, and we will definitely help if the mine can."

Section Chief Ren made a generous promise, and Luo Yu stopped pretending.

"Section Chief Ren, what are the benefits like at the Women's Federation? Do we always have to go out and mediate disputes among the people? As you can see, my health isn't very good, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid we won't be able to stop the fight!

She would be so wronged if she were accidentally injured!

The Women's Federation was a rare and desirable place, and she had to seize the opportunity to gain benefits for herself.

She remembered that the women's federations and security departments of state-owned units like state-owned coal mines were independent of the mines. The mine's women's federation was under the jurisdiction of the municipal women's federation, and salaries were paid through the municipal women's federation. The security department was under the jurisdiction of the armed forces department, and salaries were calculated by the armed forces department and then distributed by the state.

By the late 1980s, there was a high chance that the women from the mine's women's federation would go to work for the municipal women's federation, changing from employees of a private enterprise to employees of a public institution, and their salaries and benefits would increase again.

Some of the security personnel were assigned to the public security system and became police officers, so their salaries were naturally different.

Of course, not everyone can go to the Municipal Women's Federation or be assigned to the public security system. You have to have made meritorious contributions in your unit or become a minor leader. For example, the head of the security department is very likely to be assigned to the public security system.

By the 1990s, coal resources were depleted, and a large number of miners were laid off. The remaining security personnel became security guards, and their wages were even lower than those of ordinary workers. The women's federation staff naturally belonged to the coal miners, but they were under the unified management, dispatch, and guidance of the municipal women's federation.

To put it bluntly, if she gets a job at the mine's women's federation, she has a great chance of getting into the city's women's federation, and she will become a civil servant in the future.

Only a fool would refuse to have their "iron rice bowl" turned into a "golden rice bowl".

Section Chief Ren took a sip of water and began to introduce the relevant information about the Women's Federation at the mine to Luo Yu.

After a long explanation, Luo Yu finally understood.

Now, almost all the women's federation members in the mine are older, with no young ones at all. They are fine in handling things normally, but when it comes to writing articles, they scratch their heads.

They don't know many characters, so they can read newspapers, but the only one who can write articles is Director Xu from the Women's Federation. We can't just dump all the work on the director.

So the Women's Federation took this opportunity to ask the mine for someone to help Director Xu write promotional slogans and do some copywriting work.

As for her salary, it's much higher than that of ordinary departments. After she becomes a full-fledged employee, she will earn at least 42 yuan a month, while a clerk in an ordinary department only earns 36 yuan, which is a full 6 yuan more.

Don't underestimate these six yuan. Nowadays, a person's monthly expenses are only about five yuan. If she doesn't buy anything else and doesn't overindulge, six yuan is enough for her to eat and drink.

Having figured out what was going on, Luo Yu felt relieved and nodded with a smile, "It's all for serving the people, I will follow the organization's arrangements."

Section Chief Ren's eyes lit up, and he slammed his hand on the table with delight, "Well said! It's all about serving the people. Where you work doesn't matter. The work of the Women's Federation is of profound significance. Those who achieve results will be promoted..."

Section Chief Ren didn't elaborate, but his meaning was clear.

Working in the Women's Federation makes it easy to achieve political achievements and get promoted quickly. It would be even better if you could work in the Municipal Women's Federation. Who wouldn't want to get promoted?

Luo Yu smiled but didn't say anything. She continued, "Section Chief Ren, my home is far away. Does the mine have staff dormitories? I'd like to live at the mine so I can better serve the people."

Section Chief Ren was very pleased that Luo Yu had made proper arrangements, hadn't caused any trouble, and had completed the tasks assigned by the Women's Federation. He approved the application with a wave of his hand.

Holding Section Chief Ren's approval slip, Luo Yu left the section chief's office. Section Chief Ren even kindly saw her out of the office. As soon as the two of them stepped out, they saw Xi Beizhan standing guard at the door.

Section Chief Ren was taken aback. "Why is Captain Xi still here?"

Xi Beizhan smoothly transitioned from leaning against the wall to standing at attention. He squinted, saw that Luo Yu was alright, and then looked at Section Chief Ren.

"I brought this person in, so I have to take full responsibility."

Section Chief Ren was taken aback again.

What do you mean? Are you afraid I'll eat her?

Looking at Luo Yu's appearance again, it seemed like he understood something.

The girl is pretty, but she's too thin, her skin isn't very good, and she doesn't have a good figure. She's just a girl who hasn't fully grown up yet. I don't know what Captain Xi saw in her.

"Ah, since Captain Xi is still here, then I'll trouble Captain Xi to make another trip to the housing management department. Xiao Luo's home is far away, so I've allocated her a room. Captain Xi, please help me see which one is good, so that Xiao Luo doesn't suffer any losses."

Xiao Luo, you'll probably need to spend some time packing up your dorm and moving. Tomorrow is Saturday, so I'll give you a day off. The day after tomorrow is Sunday, and the department will be closed. You can come back to work on Monday, the day after that.

There are no staff dormitories at the mine, but there are houses. Most of the houses are allocated to the older employees who have families. Newcomers like Luo Yu should not be allocated houses, but since Luo Yu is a staff member and has been wronged, it doesn't matter if he is allocated a small room.

The house doesn't belong to Luo Yu anymore; the property rights still belong to the mine. She's just temporarily staying there.

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Xi Beizhan's eyes, and he smiled and agreed.

“Okay, I’ll go with you. I’ll make sure we find Comrade Luo a good house.”

After saying that, the two left one after the other, and Section Chief Ren did not see them off.

The housing management department was on the first floor. The two went downstairs and entered the housing management department's office. They found the clerk in the housing management department, handed over the approval slip, and the young comrade took out five big booklets without asking any questions.

"You can choose. These are all houses that are on the list, but they are all small rooms, at most sixteen or seventeen square meters. They are usually allocated to employees who are families of three or four. People like you would live in rooms that are less than ten square meters."

After finishing his sentence, the junior clerk glanced at Section Chief Ren's approval slip again, implying that he was acting out of respect for Section Chief Ren, so that Luo Yu would remember Section Chief Ren's kindness and that he would also speak well of him to Section Chief Ren.

Having experienced the brutal competition in the workplace in her previous life, Luo Yu naturally understood what the junior clerk meant. She immediately nodded and said, "That's why he's a section chief. He has a big vision. He even remembers such a small thing as mine. I'm lucky to be able to work at our mine. Don't worry, I will definitely work hard and get along well with my colleagues."
