Chapter 56

"Yes, that's it. I don't want to join the publicity department. I want to join the transportation department and become a driver like my dad."

Su Lili excitedly turned sideways and hugged Meng Wanqiu's arm, with an expression of meeting a soulmate on her face.

Sister Gao quickly pulled away the excited Su Lili, "Oh, little aunt, be gentle, your sister Wanqiu is pregnant, how can she be more aggressive than me?"

Su Lili quickly withdrew her hand and carefully placed it on her chest, "Sorry, sister Wanqiu, I forgot, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not a clay doll, how can I be so weak." Meng Wanqiu comforted the frightened Su Lili while holding Sister Gao's hand under the table and pressing it with gratitude.

Sister Gao also held Meng Wanqiu's hand and squeezed it gently. This was also one of the reasons why she liked Meng Wanqiu. She was always so considerate to people and things, and never made people feel embarrassed.

Sister Gao was right and wrong. Because Meng Wanqiu's consideration was based on people, and on closeness and distance. She would only care about the feelings of the people she cared about and liked. As for ordinary people, Meng Wanqiu never cared about the other person's feelings.

"You want to join the transport team, isn't your father in the transport department? Why didn't he arrange you to join the transport department, but the propaganda department instead?" The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Meng Wanqiu began to change the subject.

Su Lili's attention was indeed not on Meng Wanqiu's pregnancy. She drooped her brows and muttered, "It's my dad. He said being a driver is too hard and won't let me do it. I said I can endure hardship and I'm not afraid of hard work, but he just doesn't agree."

Su Lili is not a good student. She didn't continue her studies after junior high school. She has been doing odd jobs in various departments of 715. When she met Meng Wanqiu, she was a temporary worker in the logistics department.

Because Su Lili's age has not reached the recruitment age, she has been doing odd jobs in various departments. Su Weiguang is an old employee of 715, and Su Lili has almost grown up under the eyes of the older generation of 715. Everyone is very tolerant of her.

When she was old enough, she would become a formal employee. At that time, she could enter any department except the technical department.

But Su Lili rotated through so many departments. After reaching the recruitment age, she told Su Weiguang that she wanted to become a driver in the transport team.

Of course, Su Weiguang refused to agree. Su Lili was also stubborn. If Su Weiguang didn't agree, she would not go to work or enter any department.

In the end, Su Weiguang couldn't persuade Su Lili, so he took a step back and made a bet with Su Lili, saying that as long as she could work peacefully in the publicity department for a year, he would consider Su Lili's joining the transport team.

So, Su Lili entered the publicity department.

"So that's how it is. Then you should work hard for this year, and your father should agree to let you join the transport team."

The three of them came to the outside of the canteen to wash their lunch boxes. A row of faucets was installed on the wall outside the canteen, which was reserved for workers with lunch boxes to wash dishes.

Meng Wanqiu rolled up his sleeves, turned on the faucet, and warm water flowed out. "It's okay if there is a chance. Just get through this year. Anyway, you are still young and have plenty of time."
