Chapter 618: Chapter 618 Sending the Calamity Away Chapter 618: Chapter 618 Sending the Calamity Away Luo Qiao felt a bit more at ease after hearing this, but still asked, “Why not let her stay at the hostel?”
Luo Haotian sighed, “A few days ago, people from a brother unit came to our factory for training, and our mechanical factory’s hostel was full. I thought about sending her to an external hostel, but she cried bitterly, claiming that someone was out to harm her.
At that time, the factory’s office staff were all there watching. They knew something about her situation, after all, the chemical factory incident had caused quite a stir. To be honest, Dad did indeed feel sorry for her then.
Thinking it would only be for a few days, I let her go back to live there. I’ve had your fourth brother stay in the factory these past few days without going home, and I myself have stayed in the factory too, fearing any idle gossip might arise.
These past few days, I’ve been pulling strings to find her a job. Now I’ve almost secured something. Her relatives are all in Wangshan County, so I found her a temporary job at the Wangshan County Winery. Whether she can become a regular employee will depend on her own abilities, but this counts as fulfilling the last bit of obligation.”
Luo Qiao knew that although the actions of the Zhao Family were unscrupulous, Zhao Jianing couldn’t be entirely blamed. After all, having been raised for fifteen years, there were bound to be some feelings involved. Since Luo Haotian had explained the reasons, she couldn’t hold onto it anymore, but there was inevitably a bit of a rift in her heart.
Surprisingly, Luo Haotian’s friend was quite effective, as they received a call that very evening confirming Zhao Jianing’s employment was settled, and Luo Haotian thought it was perfect that he wouldn’t have to rent out a house for her either.
The next day, no matter how much Zhao Jianing didn’t want to leave, Luo Haotian forcefully had her pack her belongings and follow him out of the house. Along the way out of the residential compound, they encountered many people from the compound, one of whom asked, “Deputy Director Luo, are you heading out?”
Luo Haotian was cautious and replied, “I’ve found a job for Jianing, I’m taking her to report for duty.”
As soon as they left, word spread through the Mechanical Factory Residential Compound, with everyone saying Deputy Director Luo was benevolent.
“Deputy Director Luo has done enough; that’s really considerate of him.”
“Yeah, Zhao Jianing is really disgusting, causing such a scene at the factory. Deputy Director Luo had no choice but to intervene. It’s utterly loathsome.”
“Exactly. I heard that our factory’s hostel was full back then, and when Deputy Director Luo wanted to send her to an external hostel, Zhao Jianing just cried and refused to go, even saying someone was out to harm her. It’s probably a case of a guilty conscience leading to paranoia.”
“But, she caused a lot of trouble at the chemical factory, affecting many people. Their families had every right to clean her clock.”
“She got what she deserved, messing things up for others and herself. It’s her own doing.”
“These past few days she’s been living at his house, making it impossible for Deputy Director Luo and Siyuan to go home. You’re telling me Zhao Jianing is really selfish.”
“Good thing Deputy Director Luo has a wide network; he found her a job so quickly.”
“He had to hurry, didn’t he? If she doesn’t leave, the father and son can’t return home, especially with the New Year around the corner.”
“Deputy Director Luo is truly benevolent. Anyone else would have kicked her out long ago.”
“Crying and kneeling at the factory office, she was clearly pressuring them. What’s that called again? Oh, I remember now, moral blackmail.”
“Let’s disperse, shall we? I’ve still got rice cooking at home.”
Taking the earliest train to Ji City with Zhao Jianing, Luo Haotian didn’t stop even after arriving in Wangshan County at past four in the afternoon. He went straight to the winery to complete the procedures, as the winery would be closing for the holiday the next afternoon.
The factory had arranged an eight-person dormitory for her. In front of his friend, Luo Haotian left Zhao Jianing with ten yuan and some food coupons, which was certainly enough to last her a month.
And in front of the referrer, he said, “Jianing, work hard. From now on, you’ll have to rely on yourself. This is as much as I can help. Take care of yourself.”
Zhao Jianing, with her head bowed, replied, “Thank you, I understand.”
She had initially hoped to cling on and stay in Capital City, but within just a few days, Luo Haotian had found her a job and sent her over before the New Year.
After settling the matter, Luo Haotian found that there were no more buses back to Ji City, but fortunately, a shoe factory had a vehicle going to Ji City for business and could give him a lift. He could take the night train back to the Capital. Now he felt light and unburdened, his mood exceptionally good.
