However, this was not the time to dwell on such matters. The priority was to finalize the personnel and send Director Gao, this formidable figure, on his way.
"Alright, it's settled then. Ye Fangfei will do. We'll announce it in three days," Manager Yao said.
Director Gao nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing that Director Gao was pleased, Manager Yao let out a quiet sigh of relief. As long as Director Gao was happy, everything would be fine. For this position, the department store had been through quite a bit; it felt like heads were going to roll over it.
Positions were scarce these days, and they were often passed down from parent to child, generation after generation. Unless there were special circumstances, vacancies rarely occurred.
This particular opening at the department store came about because Old Wang was being transferred to a higher-level unit, which created a vacancy. Naturally, everyone had their eyes on this coveted position. After all, who didn’t have some connections? It was only natural for people to be interested.
Ever since news broke that Old Wang would be moving on, everyone had been scrambling to showcase their talents. Even he had sent off several waves of gifts to curry favor.
The situation had become quite the spectacle; while outsiders remained unaware, the gossip had spread like wildfire within their ranks. Eventually, it even reached the ears of the leaders at the higher-ups in the Commercial Bureau, which led to this examination being organized and Director Gao being appointed as the proctor.
What puzzled them was who Ye Fangfei's relatives were that made her so significant in this context. Manager Yao never imagined that she was actually the neighbor of his dear daughter.
It wasn’t surprising that Manager Yao thought of her as someone’s relative; given the circumstances surrounding this examination, even if the higher-ups were aware of it, they hadn’t mandated any public announcement about recruitment. They likely wanted to avoid unnecessary complications and tacitly accepted their internal decision regarding relatives taking the exam.
Of course, if outsiders caught wind of it and signed up, they would treat everyone equally.
As for Ye Fangfei, she decided not to concern herself with these matters anymore. After all, she had done everything she could do; whether she passed or not was now in fate's hands. Besides, she had her own tasks to attend to.
She flipped through Tang Zhicheng's clothes; his sweaters were full of holes, and his cotton jacket and pants were old, with the cotton inside clumped and no longer warm.
She needed to knit Tang Zhicheng new sweaters and pants. She had the yarn, which was a gift from Hao Chunying when she got married, stored away for a rainy day. When she bought it, Hao Chunying must have thought that Ye Fangfei would knit for Tang Zhicheng, as the yarn was all in black and gray.
Ye Fangfei was quick with her hands, and since she had nothing much to do during the day, she could work on her knitting at night. In just two days, she finished a complete set of sweater and pants.
On the third day, she had to go to the department store to check the results, so she went to bed early the night before and didn’t stay up late to make the cotton clothes. After a good night's sleep, on the third day, Ye Fangfei didn’t cook breakfast; instead, she went to a state-run restaurant for soy milk and fried dough sticks.
After finishing her meal, she arrived at the department store just in time for work. This was considered an internal recruitment exam, so the notification was posted in the courtyard of the department store.
It was just a piece of red paper with only Ye Fangfei's name written on it. Ye Fangfei knew that she had been accepted. Although she was confident in herself, seeing her name on that red paper made her so happy that she felt like shouting out loud.
