Chapter 26 26, Deputy Director

Director Hu of the Base Street Office had just come to work today and heard people below talking about Qiao Zhenzhen, all envying her good fortune.

Not only did she find such an outstanding husband as Song Jin, but her second brother also did a big business in Beijing. I heard it was called Qiao's canned food, and it was very profitable.

The money Qiao Zhenzhen spent and the meat she ate every month were more than her whole family spent in a year. I heard that she stewed chicken soup at noon, and Song Dabao said that ginseng was put in it.

......

In fact, Director Hu had heard too many rumors about Qiao Zhenzhen. Every time he thought it had reached the highest point, another one would pop up soon, and then refresh everyone's new height of Qiao Zhenzhen's squandering.

For example, Qiao Zhenzhen bought a whole pig and ate meat until she vomited at home.

Another example, Qiao Zhenzhen bought a TV, a color one, and heard that it was a new product from Guangzhou.

Another example, Qiao Zhenzhen bought a big jeep. Now her treatment is the same as that of the head of the base, and she drives a car when she goes out.

Another example, Qiao Zhenzhen opened a food processing factory in Qianjin Commune below. She is now a self-employed person, making Qiao's canned food like her second brother.

......

Director Hu originally didn't care about these things, but someone came from her husband's family today and asked her to help ask Qiao Zhenzhen if the so-called food processing factory in Qianjin Commune still needs people, because her husband's family has a nephew who wants to work there.

Director Hu's husband's surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Dagang. His hometown is a production brigade under Qianjin Commune. The two met when they were studying in technical secondary school. Later, the husband continued his studies and entered the Kunpeng base, and she followed him here.

The nephew of my husband's family is also 18 years old this year. He has attended junior high school for one year. He has been farming at home before and never thought about looking for a job.

Later, someone from their village went to work in the processing plant of Qianjin Commune. When he came back, he not only wore a new set of clothes, saying that they were uniform work clothes issued by the canning factory, but also bought two kilograms of meat, all of which were top-quality fat meat. He also praised the processing plant to the sky.

This not only made the Wang family extremely jealous, but also the people in the village. Unfortunately, the recruitment period had passed and the processing plant said that they didn't need anyone.

At this time, the Wang family found out that the owner of the processing plant was a family member of the Kunpeng base, so they found Director Hu to see if he could help ask.

Director Hu came to Qiao Zhenzhen's house after get off work. Qiao Zhenzhen was cooking. When she saw Director Hu coming, she quickly invited him in and poured him a glass of water.

Looking at the two dishes that had been prepared on the table, braised pork feet! Steamed sea bass! Director Hu swallowed his saliva unconsciously and couldn't help but sigh. The food at Qiao Zhenzhen's house was really good. She was actually quite greedy, but it looked a bit expensive.

"Zhenzhen, I heard that you opened a food processing factory in Qianjin Commune. My in-laws asked me to ask if you are still hiring. My nephew wants to work there."
