Chapter 29 Selling a House, Selling a Job (Part Two)

"Yes!" Bai Nuo nodded with a smile and explained, "Second Aunt, you should have heard about my situation. Ma Jiangshui went to jail, but the leaders of the machinery factory are kind-hearted. They felt that having such a scoundrel in their factory not only disgraced the factory but also made them feel guilty for not educating their employees properly. So, to compensate me, they transferred Ma Jiangshui's job to me, and it's a position in the personnel office. However, there should be educational requirements; I guess you need to graduate from high school. Just before you came, the personnel officer from the machinery factory left."

As he spoke, Bai Nuo handed over the job offer letter from his pocket.

"It really is!" The woman took a closer look, her face beaming with delight.

The Xiang family doesn't discriminate against daughters. They have sons and daughters. Just look at Xiang Chong. Her daughter just graduated from high school and is facing the crisis of being sent to the countryside. But jobs are not easy to find. She even thought about transferring her job to her daughter if all else fails. But she is still in her prime. She is not comfortable retiring at home and is also afraid that her daughter-in-law will look down on her.

Unexpectedly, the process of buying a house led to a completely different outcome.

“Bai family girl, don’t bother looking for someone to help you with this job. Just give it to your second aunt, and she’ll take the house too.”

"Really?" Bai Nuo looked at Xiang's second aunt with a look of surprise.

"Of course it's true, don't worry. Even if you don't see Xiao Chong, your second aunt won't cheat you." Second Aunt had already calculated the price in her mind. Her family were honest people, and the two Xiang brothers both held official positions. They certainly couldn't cheat a little girl with no parents. It wouldn't sound good if word got out, and it would be easy for people to use it against them.

Aunt Xiang glanced at the closed doors and windows before whispering, "Although not many people are selling houses now, there is a fixed price. According to the housing prices in Fuyuan Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai, the highest price per square meter can reach 20 yuan. This house is 120 square meters, so let's calculate it at that price, which is 2,400 yuan in total."

The house is fully furnished, and it looks quite new. It really saves a lot of trouble. To be honest, Auntie doesn't have that many furniture vouchers. So, including all the furniture, Auntie will give you 2,700. What do you think, little girl?

"Besides, the job at the machine factory is really good. The office work is easy, and the starting salary should be 35.5 yuan, let's say 36. Nowadays, a job would take at least two years' salary, but that's for a regular job. This office job would take at least three years. That's 432 yuan a year, so three years would be 1296 yuan, let's say 1300. Adding them together, it's a round number, 4000 yuan. Also, we have some nationally valid coupons at home, not too many, but you'll definitely need them when you go to the countryside. I'll exchange them all for you."

"Little girl, do you think Second Aunt's calculation is alright?"

This price is definitely high, but it's because Bai Nuo brought her work with her and met someone who genuinely cares about her daughter. In order to keep her daughter, who has hardly ever done any work, in the city, this Aunt Xiang raised the price to a level that the other party wouldn't refuse.

"Of course it's great! Second Aunt, this price is definitely a bargain for me. How could I refuse? When do we go and complete the formalities?"

Bai Nuo had inquired around this area before. Although private sales of houses are not allowed now, some people are still secretly transferring them. This area is close to several large factory residential compounds and is very close to the supply and marketing cooperative and department store. It is considered a very good location. The price is about 15 to 20 yuan per square meter, which is a very fair price.

He glanced at his second aunt's watch; it was not yet two o'clock, which was just the right time. He quickly smiled and said, "Why don't we go now? First, we can go to my house to get the money, pick up my daughter, then go to the housing management office to complete the property transfer, and finally go to the machinery factory with you."

“Okay, no problem.” Bai Nuo nodded readily.

The Xiang family are really straightforward people. When they came, Xiang Chong and Xiang's second aunt both rode bicycles, so they could get anywhere quickly.

Half an hour later, the house transfer was completed, and then the group headed straight to the machinery factory.

Xu, the clerk in the personnel department of the machinery factory, did not expect to see Bai Nuo again so soon, especially since Bai Nuo was there to transfer jobs.

this……

That's not what the deputy factory director said!

But there were no violations of regulations. The factory gave the job to Bai Nuo, and it's normal for her not to want it and to transfer it to someone else. Besides, the other party is also a high school graduate and a young girl, so she does meet the requirements of the job.

However, Officer Xu still tried to persuade Bai Nuo a few times, even saying that their machinery factory could help cancel her application to go to the countryside. In the end, it was no use. The young girl was determined to go to the countryside to build a farm, and she spoke with great conviction and determination. Helpless, Officer Xu still processed the onboarding procedures for the young girl surnamed Xiang.

After everything was settled, Shang Chong personally rode his bike to take Bai Nuo home. This girl was carrying a huge sum of four thousand yuan, and they didn't feel comfortable letting her go back by herself.

"Make sure to lock the doors and windows when you sleep alone at night. If anything happens, remember to come find me. Remember, you absolutely must not let anyone know about the money you have on you, including after you go to the countryside. Don't tell anyone, not even if you have a boyfriend. You must remember this. When you get there, secretly open an account at the credit union and deposit the money. Also, I'll be off on the day you go to the countryside, and I'll come to see you off in the morning, okay?"

"sister!"

Bai Nuo smiled as she looked at Shang Xiangchong, who seemed worried. This girl was truly sincere towards her, without any pretense.

"Alright, enough of that, it's settled then. Get some rest." Xiang Shangchong smiled, pinched the little girl's long braid, turned around, waved, and left.

Looking at Shang Xiangchong's cheerful and tall figure, Bai Nuo smiled gently: "A Tong, I like it here. There are lots of people here."

The system smiled slightly within the space.

It understands what the host means: "Many people" doesn't mean "large population," but rather "a large number of real people."

In the host's previous life, there were many people in the world who looked like humans, but were actually worse than animals.

Bai Nuo closed the doors and windows, and seeing that it was almost time, returned to her space to have dinner. She went to bed early that night, and around 10 PM, she slowly opened her eyes, quickly washed up, changed into all black clothes, a baseball cap, and a black face mask before leaving the space. Without even leaving the door, she climbed out the window and silently left the machinery factory's residential compound. (This is from my research, a compromise based on several accounts. I can't upload the full image; it's too small. Just make do.)
