Chapter 117 Smooth Transfer



Chapter 117 Smooth Transfer

Darong was so cruel to Director Lu that even long after she was transferred away, there would still be employees who would curse Director Lu, "You owe it to Darong to do something like this. You're so angry that you cry every day."

"Darong, I heard that you were transferred to the fiber factory?" As soon as Darong got home, Aunt Sun from next door came to the window and looked inside.

Darong actually hated her looking into other people's houses through the window. If you have something to say, just say it. If you want to come in and visit, just knock on the door. It's quite annoying to look inside through the window.

Darong was packing little Ruyi's diapers and clothes. When she saw the big head in the window, she felt annoyed but still answered softly.

"Yes, Aunt Sun, I will report there tomorrow."

"That's great, we can be colleagues from now on, hahaha..."

Aunt Sun had no intention of entering the house, and Darong had no intention of inviting her in. After a few awkward words, Darong took the packed diapers and clothes for Xiao Ruyi and went out to Erdaohezi.

Since Darong started working, Xiao Ruyi has needed her grandmother's help in taking care of her, so she goes to Erdaohezi more often than going back home.

"Eh? You didn't go to work today?" As soon as Darong entered the door, she saw Erhong sitting on a small stool next to the stove.

"No, I went to the city to buy some things today, so I took a day off."

Darong noticed that Zhong Yunhong didn't seem very happy, so she didn't ask any questions. She put down the vegetables and meat she brought and went into the east room.

When the curtain was lifted, I saw Mother Zhong sitting on the edge of the kang, crying.

"Hey, what's wrong, mom?"

Darong's first reaction was that Wu Meifeng and Zhong Yunhong had some conflict again and made Zhong's mother unhappy, but after listening to Zhong's mother's crying, she was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer.

"They said they were going to the city's department store to buy wedding items, but they ended up not buying anything when they got to the city. They spent all the 500 yuan on a set of wedding photos. What else can they buy clothes and bedding with?"

"Nowadays, weddings all take wedding photos. When she asked me to take them, I didn't think too much about it. It's just a set of photos. Look at you, you haven't given up since I came back."

Zhong Yunhong, who was standing at the door, must have been listening to the scolding for quite a while, and now he finally couldn't help but retort a few words.

"Whose wedding photo doesn't have money paid by their parents? Your sister-in-law's parents paid for it but she didn't take it. Is it worth spending 500 yuan for a photo? The photo studios on the street can't hire you two anymore!"

After being scolded by Zhong Yunhong, Mother Zhong burst into tears and snot.

Darong sat in the room awkwardly, not knowing whether to speak or keep silent.

However, little Ruyi seemed to sense her mother's embarrassment and started crying loudly. Darong quickly picked up the little Ruyi who was wet all over and busied herself changing her diaper.

The atmosphere in the house was somewhat awkwardly silent. Father Zhong, who was sitting in the corner, spoke up for the first time and said, "Now I know how good the old family is."

Mr. Zhong is usually an honest and dull man. He didn't realize that his words had betrayed Mrs. Zhong completely. Darong pretended not to understand and continued to take care of Xiao Ruyi.

"Just shut up! How can you help with the family matters?"

Mother Zhong scolded Father Zhong in a frustrated tone. After taking a deep breath, she stole a glance at Da Rong who was silent. Seeing that there was no change in her expression, she felt a little relieved.

However, Mr. Zhong's words did have an effect. Mrs. Zhong finally stopped crying and complaining about her grievances and blaming Zhong Yunhong.

Since Darong was transferred to the fiber factory, she was arranged to work in the boiler room. There are certain job standards for boiler operators. Since the beginning of training, Darong has been extremely serious and hardworking.

Because Darong has a clear mind and learns things quickly, the old masters in the boiler room recognize her work.

Darong also knew very well that it was not easy to get into a good unit like the fiber factory. Since the day she reported for work, Darong had been working diligently and conscientiously, changing her previous bad reputation in the textile factory and leaving a good impression on the people in the boiler room.

"Rongzi, this is your salary. I just brought it to you."

Today is payday at the fiber factory. Darong has been working for a full month without realizing it. Her new master helped her collect her March salary.

"How much are you giving out?" The master asked Darong curiously.

"Let me see." Darong was actually eager to know how high the salaries were at this fiber factory that had always attracted people with its 'high salaries'.

Darong first took out the pay slip from the envelope. When she saw the actual salary, she was stunned. It was a full 536 yuan.

What is this concept?

At the woolen mill where Darong used to work, the average employee's salary was around 80 to 90 yuan if they had full attendance and full bonus. Zhong Yunxing's factory was more profitable, and as a foreman, a position similar to that of a workshop director, his normal salary was just over 300 yuan.

So when Darong received more than 500 yuan in the fiber factory in the first month, her joy was beyond words.

Since Darong realized the high income of the fiber factory, her work attitude has become more serious and upright.

In fact, no matter what era, there are no truly troublesome employees. When the benefits are big enough, employees are far more afraid of causing trouble than leaders. So don’t blame your employees for being difficult to use. It must be that your treatment is not worth it.

The days of being transferred to the fiber factory seemed to pass by incredibly quickly. I went to work and came home day after day, and in the blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching.

Mother Zhong thought she had gotten the upper hand when discussing the marriage with Wu Meifeng's parents.

But in fact, Wu Meifeng is not like Darong. She always considers the conditions of the Zhong family and saves wherever she can. Her main goal is not to compromise herself and spend every penny she can.

In the end, it was Zhong's mother who made up the money for the gauze photos, and the two of them went out to buy the necessary clothes to cover the scattered small items.

In short, it was the money that Mrs. Zhong originally wanted to save, but Wu Meifeng spent it all without saying a word.

On the wedding day, Zhong Yunhong borrowed the lead car from his unit, and the cars following behind were all sedans, which was considered quite grand in the southern suburbs at that time.

Darong went to Wu Meifeng's home with her sister-in-law to pick up the bride. Before leaving, Zhong Yunxing told Darong to listen to her sister-in-law in everything and put some money in Darong's bag.

To be honest, Zhong Yunxing sometimes thought more carefully. He had seen how ruthless Wu Meifeng's family was, and he was always worried that something might go wrong when picking up the bride, so he gave Darong that little money when they set off.

It was because of the extra money that Zhong Yunxing brought that allowed Darong and the others to successfully bring their bride back.
