Awaken: I See Tags, I Rewrite My Life-Chapter 41: Good Job, You’ve Got a Brain Now

Tao Huilan wants to start a new handicraft group, which is a good thing, as it can provide income for the homemakers in the residential compound.

Jiang Qin asked her to write an application report, including how many people the group plans to recruit, how much initial investment is needed, and the details of supply and sales problems should also be clarified.

They can’t just spend money on wool and then have the finished products not being accepted or end up unsold.

In that case, let alone increase family income, they’d have to cover the cost of the wool themselves.

Tao Huilan: "I’m writing it now, I’ll hand it to you tomorrow." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Jiang Qin: "Alright, work hard."

Tao Huilan sneered, "Chairman Jiang, you won’t strangle me with this application, will you?"

Even if she did, Tao Huilan had ways to deal with it, this was just a warning.

Jiang Qin chuckled, "If your plan is feasible, it will benefit the comrades in the compound, why would I strangle you for that?"

Tao Huilan pursed her lips, "Who knows."

Jiang Qin said seriously and solemnly, "Comrade Tao Huilan, for everyone’s future work to proceed smoothly, I feel there are some things I must make clear to you."

Jiang Qin sighed with her hands behind her back, "I don’t know how your father talked to Vice Factory Director Zeng, leading him to write that employment recommendation for you, but since you’re here, and the union has also set probationary requirements, everyone’s opportunities and positions are equal and fair.

The same principle stands, whether you can stay depends on your abilities, not personal connections."

Jiang Qin’s words were clear, even though there were unexpected issues in the recruitment plan, her intention to recruit talents hadn’t changed.

Whether it’s her or Tian Xiang, the capable ones will rise.

In the office, Chen Yong, quietly hiding behind the door, silently glanced at Tian Xiang who was standing by the window.

Judging by Chairman Jiang’s tone, there was no hint of favoritism, if Tian Xiang wanted to stay, she had to work harder.

When Tao Huilan returned to the office, Tian Xiang and Chen Yong were already in their positions, one reading a newspaper, the other organizing work notes.

Near the end of the afternoon shift, Chen Yong left ten minutes early to find Jiang Gaojun in the workshop area.

Tian Xiang also packed her bag to wait for Zhuang Ermei at the factory gate.

Zhuang Ermei had already arrived, as she had no money for the bus, nor a bicycle to ride, she had walked for over half an hour, sweating, using a handkerchief to wipe her face, and fixing her hair in the process.

To look presentable, she braided a large side braid to entirely cover her deformed ear.

"Ermei."

Tian Xiang came out and looked Zhuang Ermei up and down, exclaiming with surprise, "Not bad, you’re wearing a floral dress and sweater!"

Earlier in the morning when Tian Xiang left, she told Zhuang Ermei to dress up a bit, since it was a matchmaking meeting.

It wasn’t because she looked down on her, but because the clothes Zhuang Ermei was wearing then were patched up at the cuffs, and the pant legs were torn.

Seeing her now.

This person is acceptable indeed.

Zhuang Ermei showed off in front of her, "It’s Zhuang Qingqing’s dress, she’s only worn it twice, nice, right?"

Zhuang Qingqing is the stepdaughter of the Zhuang Family, brought over by Dou Yuegui.

Tian Xiang nodded.

It looked good, after being dressed up like this, Zhuang Ermei didn’t look too bad, she even looked a little pretty.

Just that...

"Did Zhuang Qingqing lend you that dress?"

No way, Zhuang Qingqing and Dou Yuegui’s mother-daughter duo were always at odds with Zhuang Ermei, always fighting and arguing, how could they possibly lend her a dress for a matchmaking?

"Her cherished dress lend to me? That’s impossible." Zhuang Ermei snickered and whispered to Tian Xiang, "I sneaked back when the two of them went out, took it from the clothesline on the roof, changed in the bathhouse, no one in the compound knows."

Well done, using her brain now.

Tian Xiang: "They have no idea you’re here for matchmaking, right?"

Zhuang Ermei: "Of course I didn’t tell them."

Tian Xiang: "Then don’t return the dress, hide it for now, go a bit farther tomorrow, find a place to sell it, and use the money to buy a new outfit to wear when seeing potential partners in the future."

Zhuang Ermei’s father, Zhuang Dashuan, is mentally challenged, handing over his monthly salary, treating his two biological daughters like dogs, only wanting to sell them for a good price, but instead treats the stepdaughter brought by Dou Yuegui quite well, doesn’t mind the expenses on food and clothing for her.

Zhuang Ermei nodded, she planned to do exactly that.

Tian Xiang helped tidy up Zhuang Ermei’s clothes, took her old cloth bag, and gave her her small shoulder bag.

While they were chatting outside, the factory’s end-of-day bell rang.

The factory’s large iron gates were opened, and shortly after, a flood of bicycles poured out like a torrent.

Zhuang Ermei watched with envy.

Tian Xiang: "If you end up with Jiang Gaojun, you can come and go here as you please, just register."

"Alright."

She’s already decided to marry Jiang Gaojun, all that’s left is to get acquainted.

Tian Xiang took Zhuang Ermei to register at the guard’s office and stored her cloth bag of clothes in the office to pick up on their way out.

They entered the factory area, first going to the restroom, and upon coming out, Tian Xiang had changed her appearance, her two braids tied up like fireworks, drawing thick eyebrows with a carbon pencil, and even half of her face was covered with a scarf, her original beauty gone, looking somewhat comical.

Zhuang Ermei was deeply touched, "Once we’re married, I’ll give you a big matchmaker’s red envelope."

Tian Xiang casually nodded.

She wasn’t doing it for the matchmaker’s red envelope, she knew how she looked, and with the label of a leading lady, she feared that if she fails as a matchmaker, she might inadvertently turn Jiang Gaojun into an antagonist, which would be problematic.

Tian Xiang led Zhuang Ermei to the factory library, where she had arranged with Chen Yong to meet by the flowerbed there.

When they arrived, Chen Yong and Gaojun had been waiting for a while.

Chen Yong, without a hint of composure, had a blade of grass in his mouth, squatting by the flowerbed peering around boringly.

Jiang Gaojun, with his head down, looked quite dispirited, and due to his foot, even seemed hunched.

Chen Yong leaped off the flowerbed and dismissively patted Jiang Gaojun’s back.

"I’m introducing someone to you, don’t look so downcast, straighten up."

Jiang Gaojun: "Did you tell them about my condition and my mother’s requirements?"

Chen Yong: "Oh, you’ve asked seven or eight times, yes, I’ve said it all."

He didn’t really know, anything at all; Tian Xiang was the one who told him to call this person.

Jiang Gaojun: "She’s from Red Fifth Street, right? She truly doesn’t mind my situation?"

"Why do you..."

Chen Yong wanted to say, why are you fixated on this question?

At that moment, Zhuang Ermei’s voice suddenly chimed in, "I know your situation, I don’t mind."

The voice of a young woman in her prime, gentle as water, her demeanor was bashful and shy, under the backdrop of a white dress and red knitted vest, like a crabapple flower gently blooming in the dew.

Jiang Gaojun looked at her, his heart rate sped up, and the blush on his face deepened.

Zhuang Ermei assessed him briefly, nodding to herself.

He looked like someone who could be easily influenced, willing to listen to her words; she liked that.

Zhuang Ermei became increasingly gentle, stealing a glance at him, then bashfully looking down at her toes.

Jiang Gaojun too, his blushing spreading from his face to the base of his neck.
