Chapter 88 How can a little girl like that sleep in the same room as your father?
Qiao Manman went upstairs and found a lot of things piled up in the hallway, and many people cooking outside.
After overcoming numerous obstacles, I arrived at room 307 and found the door slightly ajar. A skinny girl was sitting on a bed, gnawing on a hard, dark steamed bun.
Qiao Manman went up and knocked on the door, only to see the girl running frantically to the other side, desperately stuffing something into her mouth.
Qiao Manman pushed open the door and entered, greeting everyone with a smile: "Hello, I'm Qiao, the newly assigned employee... Haha, busy, huh?"
The girl's hand was resting on a huge buttock. That buttock was stuck between the floor and the bed, unable to move forward or backward!
The room was still a mess, with all sorts of things scattered around, taking up most of the space.
"So, this is a double room reserved for me?" Qiao Manman asked the question that struck her as a real challenge.
Guo Youfeng hurriedly asked, "Shi Meng, what's going on?"
The little girl named Shi Meng was almost crying. After a long while, she said, "My two cousins got married and took up the room."
My grandmother thought we were in the way, so she kicked my parents and brother out.
I didn't expect any new people to come!
Qiao Manman asked, "Aren't there any places to rent in the city?"
Guo Youfeng shook his head: "Almost none! Nowadays, every household has more people than rooms, so how could they possibly rent their houses to outsiders?"
Unless it's a job change or a trip to visit relatives that won't be back for a short time, find a reliable person to help look after the house.
Besides, rent costs money. Two dollars a room adds up to a considerable amount over a year.
Qiao Manman didn't want to share a room with anyone. She felt it would be inconvenient, unsafe, and lacked privacy.
Poor Shi Meng probably didn't want to move in and squeeze out her family members who could have taken advantage of the factory's resources for free.
"Comrade Qiao, please, don't tell the logistics department! My salary isn't high, and if it's deducted again, I won't be able to afford food!"
The middle-aged woman trapped under the bed also said, "Girl, we were wrong, please have pity on us."
"At worst, we can put a curtain between us. Don't worry, we definitely won't disturb your sleep!"
Qiao Manman took two steps back in alarm, thinking, "Who wants to live with you all? Has she gone mad or gone stupid?!"
"Comrade Guo, let's leave here first!"
Qiao Manman dragged Guo Youfeng downstairs, and heard her huffing, "Why are you such a coward? You should have kicked that family out."
They're the ones who're embezzling factory resources, and you're still...
"Sister, my dear sister, didn't you realize that they never intended for me to move in?"
Yes, we are in the right, but can you forcibly kick people out?
When that happens, if Comrade Shi Meng goes to the labor union or the factory gate to cause trouble, the leaders will criticize her for being heartless and damaging the factory's good image of caring for its employees!
This is a big problem; it can't be solved by just one room.
Guo Youfeng broke out in a cold sweat, but still stubbornly insisted, "Then what do you suggest we do? Is there no one who can handle them?"
Qiao Manman naturally had her own methods, but she didn't want to interfere.
I casually remarked, "Just marry her off. She can't just stay in the dorm forever!"
Guo Youfeng nodded thoughtfully and stopped being angry.
The two discussed it and decided to visit the supply and marketing cooperative. They chatted and laughed along the way and arrived at their destination in no time.
Qiao Manman inquired about the price of the aluminum lunchbox and bought some snacks.
Seeing that Liang Simin was there, I gossiped with her about Qin Youbin and Qiao Zhenzhen.
"I never imagined your cousin-in-law was such a virgin! Thank goodness you cut ties with them!"
Qiao Manman laughed heartily: "Sister Simin, I have a job! It's at a machinery factory. After the leaders investigated my family situation, they decided to hire me!"
Liang Simin grasped her hand in surprise: "Really? That's wonderful!"
Ahhh, at least I don't have to feel guilty and remorseful for 'stealing' your job anymore.
Qiao Manman glared at her and said, "What are you saying? It's a matter of mutual consent, why put so much pressure on yourself!"
Qiao Manman leaned close to her ear: "However, there are no dormitories at the machinery factory. Could you help me ask around in the county if anyone is selling a house?"
You know, I have... enough to buy a small yard!
Liang Simin patted her chest: "Don't worry, I've got your back!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Qiao Manman went back to her workplace with Guo Youfeng.
Prepare the money and tickets, and return them to Yan Chengke in front of everyone.
Then I talked about the dormitory.
"Director Yan, could you please return the key to Director Liang Qiurong for me?"
Yan Chengke's face darkened, and he immediately summoned several factory leaders to the dormitory building.
Shi Meng was not there; Shi's parents were fast asleep in bed.
Upon seeing the leader approach, she immediately knelt on the ground, sobbing. She only admitted her mistake and made no mention of moving out.
Shi Meng was also called over by the team leader: "Director, if you make my parents move out, you're forcing them to die!"
Please, spare our lives. We're willing to work like slaves for the machinery factory.
My dad can guard the gate, my mom can clean the toilet, and my brother can wash and chop vegetables.
Please, leader, show leniency!
Guo Youfeng scoffed: "What a clever scheme!"
If we agree, your family will get three jobs for free.
If you don't agree, you'll become a villain who bullies employees' families and will be held accountable by higher authorities!
Either way, you guys profit!
"No, that's not what I meant."
Shi Meng shook her head while crying, then changed the subject: "Was it Comrade Qiao who reported it? Should I go and beg her?"
My mom can sleep on the floor or in the hallway. We can even use a curtain to divide the dorm room in two; it definitely won't disturb Comrade Qiao's rest!
Yan Chengke frowned: "What are you saying? How can a young girl sleep in the same room as your father?"
His heart is so cruel!
Shi Meng didn't take it to heart: "Isn't there me and my mother? How could it affect Comrade Qiao's reputation!"
They were talking past each other, and a group of leaders wondered how Shi Meng had passed the exam and entered the workshop.
After more than an hour of persuasion, one side simply wouldn't listen. Left with no other option, the meeting ended on bad terms.
Mother Shi spat angrily on the ground: "We've been living here just fine, it's all that little bitch Qiao's fault!"
Shi Meng nodded, clearly treating the private room as her own property.
A group of leaders went in high spirits, only to return looking utterly defeated. Not only did they lose face, but they were also emotionally exhausted.
Guo Youfeng leaned close to Qiao Manman and complained to her, "Little Qiao, Shi Meng really did say what you said; she almost forced the factory leaders to arrange jobs for her family members!"
Qiao Manman nodded: "You're shameless, eat your fill!"
If it were her, she would also cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide.
"Alright, with Sister Feng here, and the leaders making the decisions, let's not worry about it!"
He finished writing the last line of the letter, bent down and blew on it, then handed the first draft to Director Yan for review.
"Comrade Xiao Qiao, the plan is very well done."
"Once you've gotten a bit more voluptuous, and you've produced the specific training content, and that...you know what you called a skit or crosstalk routine, you can go back and rest!"
Qiao Manman gave a forced smile: "Boss, do you know how many people have worked so hard and how much effort it takes to get these things done?"
