Chapter 262: I can’t hold you anymore. Chapter 262: I can’t hold you anymore. “How is my daughter so smart!”

The family chatted as they walked to the guard room and explained their purpose.

The guard glanced at Jiang Mianmian and her mother and thought to himself how lucky this man was to have such a beautiful daughter and daughter-in-law. However, he said officially, “Comrade, it’s not that I want to make it difficult for you, but our factory has a rule: no outsiders are allowed inside. Only you can go in.”

“Alright, comrade, can my daughter and daughter-in-law wait for me in your booth? It’s quite cold outside,” Jiang Changhai said as he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the guard in a friendly manner.

This was a cheap cigarette specially bought by Jiang Changhai at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. He didn’t smoke, but when he went out for business, cigarettes were like a key to start relationships.

The guard smiled as he accepted the cigarette and quickly replied, “Alright, it’s no big deal.”

“Thank you, comrade,” Jiang Changhai expressed his gratitude, then told his daughter and daughter-in-law, “Wait for me here, I’ll be back soon.”

“Sure, Brother Hai, don’t worry about us. You have to perform well later. Whether my daughter and I can move to the town depends on you,” Su Wanyu winked at Jiang Changhai, sending him off with her beauty and encouragement.

Jiang Mianmian cheered her father on by clenching her fist, “Dad, I believe you can definitely do it.”

Jiang Changhai looked at his daughter and wife, smiled, and said confidently, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you have a good life in town.”

Yu Cheng’s good friend had already notified the factory chief, who now came out personally to receive the newcomer.

The chief of the transport factory was a refined man in his forties wearing glasses, who appeared very amiable and friendly toward Jiang Changhai, “Hello comrade, I am the director of the transport factory, my last name is Chu.”

“Director Chu, hello, my name is Jiang Changhai, you can just call me Xiao Jiang,” Jiang Changhai said politely.

Director Chu found Jiang Changhai’s appearance decent and his speech not timid, leaving a good first impression.

“Hmm, Xiao Jiang, I wonder if you can read? Do you know basic arithmetic?” Director Chu asked gently.

“I recognize most commonly used characters, just not very good at writing them, and I know basic arithmetic, don’t worry,” Jiang Changhai tried his best to show his capabilities.

“Alright, then come to work tomorrow.”

Since it was a recommendation from Capital City, the director didn’t ask further. Seeing that the basic requirements were met, he made the decision directly.

“Ah, good, good, thank you so much. I will come over tomorrow morning,” Jiang Changhai quickly replied.

Jiang Changhai hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly. From the director’s attitude toward him, he could tell how significant Yu Cheng’s influence was.

Upon leaving the director’s office, Jiang Changhai nearly ran back to the guard room, eager to share the good news with his daughter and wife.

“Mom, Dad’s coming out,” Jiang Mianmian, who was peering out the window, excitedly grabbed Su Wanyu’s arm as she saw Jiang Changhai.

Su Wanyu, noticing the undeniable joy on her husband’s face, knew he must have passed.

Indeed, as soon as Jiang Changhai entered the guard room, he lifted Jiang Mianmian up high twice. He wanted to lift her a third time, but his daughter’s weight did not let him show off his fatherly love.

“Oh dear, my daughter, you’ve gotten heavier. If you get any heavier, Dad won’t be able to carry you,” Jiang Changhai put Jiang Mianmian down, rubbing his arms, teasing her playfully.
