Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire-Chapter 55: Solid Foundations

Jiang Cheng was amused by Li Chunxiang’s wary little eyes.

Since he teased her, he decided to continue.

"You knew I was tricking you, why didn’t you come back to give me trouble?"

Li Chunxiang raised her head, with a hint of arrogance, saying, "You had a point. I’m a high school graduate, why snatch your job, besides, it was just a temp role."

"I believe I can find something better!"

Jiang Cheng responded meaningfully, "Looks like you’ve found it?"

Li Chunxiang’s proud little neck shrunk a bit, and she grumbled, "No!"

"But it’s okay, I’m learning every day, I just need an opportunity, I can definitely do it!"

Li Chunxiang didn’t know if she was being stubborn or encouraging herself.

However, Jiang Cheng admired her positive attitude.

She beckoned, and Li Chunxiang instinctively leaned in.

Just as she leaned in, she felt she was losing face and wanted to pull back.

"I have a job opportunity."

Li Chunxiang’s eyes immediately brightened, her retreat turned into an approach, and she held onto Jiang Cheng with both hands.

"Please sit, please sit, I’ll pour some sugar water for you!"

The attentive Li Chunxiang made Jiang Cheng shake her head and smile lightly.

This skill of adapting to circumstances was somewhat like her.

Jiang Cheng didn’t stop her.

She sipped the sugar water while Li Chunxiang quietly waited beside her, not urging at all.

"Aren’t you eager to ask?"

Li Chunxiang chuckled, "You’ve already come, of course, you’ll tell me!"

Jiang Cheng put down the bowl, and generously praised, "Smart."

"Sit down."

Li Chunxiang sat down, leaning forward.

"Tomorrow, the machinery factory has a recruitment exam, with three job vacancies, the first is an accountant, the second is a staff in the PR department, and the third is a record keeper in the warehouse."

"Which one do you think you can qualify for if you take the test?"

Li Chunxiang’s eyes sparkled, she put up three fingers, "The third one will do, I think the first two being office jobs, won’t be for me."

Jiang Cheng gave a thumbs up, "Impressive!"

"Being able to grasp things within your capability is already great, don’t aim too high."

"Of course, I’m just giving you the information, whether you pass or not, that’s your issue."

"Don’t blame me if you don’t pass."

Having said the ugly things upfront, Li Chunxiang, not being foolish, immediately promised, "Don’t worry, absolutely not!"

"You don’t know, I’ve been wandering outside for a few months, and I’ve got a clear understanding of these recruitment matters. Most are internal staff children taking the tests, such open ones aren’t widely advertised; only those in the know, know."

Li Chunxiang said a lot, and Jiang Cheng’s impression of her improved further.

Finally, Jiang Cheng got up to leave, and Li Chunxiang asked, "Why don’t you take it yourself?"

"I have a job."

Li Xiangyun was puzzled for a moment but didn’t ask further.

Recently, she’d spent quite a bit of time with her sister-in-law Du Yun, who often praised Jiang Cheng.

"Thank you, Jiang Cheng!"

Jiang Cheng waved her hand, saying rather grandiosely,

"Li Chunxiang, I’m not only helping you but also millions of women. If you hadn’t spoken for your sister-in-law today, I wouldn’t have told you this."

Jiang Cheng turned and left with a faint smile.

She liked putting on this grand act!

Behind her, Li Chunxiang stood silently for a long time.

At the same time, He Dan also learned from Lin Chengyuan about the machinery factory exam tomorrow.

She was too excited to sleep, preparing the stationery needed for tomorrow’s exam.

"I must pass, I think being an accountant would be nice, a PR officer is also acceptable, but the workshop isn’t great."

Lin Chengyuan nodded in agreement, echoing, "Accountant is the best."

Also the most prestigious.

In their casual talk, it seemed the accounting position was already in their grasp.

Jiang Cheng didn’t know He Dan was also taking the test, and even if she did, she wasn’t worried.

He Dan’s current learning level was almost at the bottom of the night school.

Passing, difficult!

Back at the Shen Family’s, Jiang Cheng first tutored Shen Xing with homework, then taught Shen Yue how to draw.

Looking at Shen Yue’s drawings, Jiang Cheng thought she should find a professional art teacher for Shen Yue.

After all, she was an amateur.

As for Shen Yue’s academic tasks, Jiang Cheng left them to Shen Xing, calling it: "Strengthening basics."

Shen Xing saw through everything, "Sis, my basics are rock solid! I’m top of the class, top of the class is me!"

Jiang Cheng unmoved, patted Shen Xing’s shoulder, "Xing Xing, just think, you’re top of the class, wouldn’t studying without challenges be boring! This is a perfect opportunity right now."

"Think, if you could help Yue Yue become top of the class...."

Shen Xing took the textbook and stood up, interrupting Jiang Cheng’s unfinished words.

"Sis, I think I’ll be convinced by you sooner or later, I better go now!"

Jiang Cheng: The growth of the child makes me very gratified.

Shen Xing used an hour to teach five Chinese characters, but Shen Yue forgot the first one after learning the second, forgot the first and second after the third.

Shen Xing was on the verge of tears, on the edge of breakdown.

"Auntie’s here, I’m going to chop wood!"

Shen Xing couldn’t take it, he ran.

With a small axe, chopping the wood in the yard, chopping vigorously.

The breakdown turning into brute force, surprisingly effective.

Grandma Shen saw through but didn’t point it out, "That’s also good, these pieces of wood are not big or small, just right for burning."

But it was strange, learning to draw when Jiang Cheng spoke once Shen Yue could remember, but for academics, her brain seemed flooded with water.

Once flushed, everything was clean.

Grandma Shen glanced at Jiang Cheng’s tightly shut door, smiled, and shook her head.

This was probably the first time Jiang Cheng withdrew without a fight, showing Shen Yue’s lethality.

Dinner was eaten by the three in the Shen Family together, while Jiang Cheng translated in her room. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Resting on time, waking up on time.

After getting up, Jiang Cheng continued to translate the manuscript.

Before leaving the house, she checked all her things twice, confirming nothing was left behind before heading to the machinery factory.

Today she planned to go to the machinery factory to scrounge breakfast.

At nine in the morning, while Jiang Cheng was working, Li Chunxiang and He Dan arrived at the machinery factory, joining thirteen other people for the recruitment exam.

The exam selects the best for hired positions, the top three are assigned jobs.

The exam was today, and the list would be posted today, highly efficient.

He Dan was momentarily surprised to see Li Chunxiang, then turned to disdain in the next moment.

Li Chunxiang didn’t want to cause trouble, it wouldn’t be worth being kicked out for quarreling.

He Dan should be dealt with by her mom’s type of people.

One hour later, the exam ended.

A group outside waited for the results.

Soon, someone came out with the list, directly posting it on the wall by the entrance.

Li Chunxiang and He Dan, along with others, all squeezed forward.

"Me! First place!"

"What’s going on, only sixth place."

"Forget it, I was just trying."

Li Chunxiang finally squeezed to the front, first, no, second, no, third....

"Great! I’m third!"

"How is this possible? How can my name not be there!"
