Chapter 24: CH 24

Chapter 24 - She was actually very powerful (1)

Director Xu flushed red and beamed with delight. In all her years, this was her first time being praised so much. And the person praising her was Su Yu, a well-behaved and honest child. These words had to have come from her heart.

Director Xu immediately gave Su Yu time off to rest at home.

Su Yu repeatedly waved her hand. "No, no, Director Xu, you've already taken care of me very much. I have to work and do my best at work. I don't want you to be put in a difficult position because of me."

Then, she changed the topic. "Oh right, Director, is the factory still hiring? Seeing that I was unwell this time, Xiaozhi has matured. He's ready to work and share the burden for me."

"Yo, Xiaozhi has become so sensible," Director Xu said in surprise.

"Isn't that so? He even said he'll have me hold his money for him after getting his salary," Su Yu said with a smile.

Director Xu's eyes widened. That brat could be so good? But, seeing Su Yu like this, she thought it was more likely that Su Yu was deliberately saying this to protect the reputation of her younger siblings. This sincere child, she was so devoted to her younger siblings. That was quite hard.

"There really isn't any suitable position in the textile factory. The lighter work is done by female workers. At most, there's only going to the warehouse to load and unload. Xiaozhi definitely couldn't stand doing such work. Wait until there's more suitable work available for him to do."

Although Director Xu said this, she knew these were just empty words. If there really was a good position available, it would be taken by people from families that had ability and connections. Su Xiaozhi would never have the chance. Moreover, during the recruitment of workers in the factory, they had to pass a test. The brat from the Su family wasn't capable of passing.

"Loading and unloading work?" Su Yu froze in surprise for a moment. The factory's loading and unloading workers were all tough, strong, young men. It really was exhausting work.

But, so what if it was tiring work? Men should do tiring work. If others could do it, why can't the boy at home do it?

As for feeling distressed about tiring Xiaozhi, Su Yu had no such idea. She only felt bad that her current body was too weak. As for Su Xiaozhi, she felt that the original owner had raised him so well. It was necessary for him to go out and contribute. Men had to be cruel to themselves in order to be successful in the future.

"Director, I'll let Xiaozhi come over to try then. This child is so stubborn. No matter how I tried to persuade him, it didn't work. He insists on getting a job. Just let him try. He'll give up once he finds out what working really is like. That'll save me effort in the future. I want to focus my full attention on work. I can't keep watching over them the way I used to," Su Yu said with an earnest expression.

Director Xu saw that she was in a difficult position and nodded. "Okay, have Xiaozhi come to try out. But, he'll only be an apprentice in the loading and unloading department. His salary won't be high."

"That's fine. Just let him try." Su Yu smiled. How can it be just trying out a job? If he wanted to do it, he had to persist.

Director Xu saw her like this and sighed. "You've really given it all your all for your siblings. You have to plan for your future too. You should urge that boy from the Wu family to marry you soon."

Director Xu hadn't been willing to say these words before, but after this talk with Su Yu, she felt this child was a kindred spirit. Her words made others feel comfortable. She was a genuine person. Moreover, as a leader that cared about the workers, she should remind Su Yu.

Wu family?  Su Yu remembered something. Wu Guozhi was a mechanic that worked in the provincial capital's machine factory. He was also the oldest of his siblings and had a few siblings too. The only difference between them was that his mother was alive and in-charge of the family. Wu Guozhi and the original owner had met at a singles event jointly hosted by the textile factory and machine factory. In the entire gathering, no one paid attention to Wu Guzohi or the original owner. And so, Wu Guozhi settled for his only option and got together with the original owner. They had been together for five years, but he never mentioned marriage. The original owner was worried about her younger siblings, so she didn't bring up marriage either.

However, Su Yu didn't care about this at all. The original owner's boyfriend didn't count as a boyfriend. He treated her as a spare tire and was lukewarm to her. When they went on dates, the original owner was always the one paying.
