Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 758 - 388 Graduation without Assignment is a Good Thing_1
Chapter 758: Chapter 388 Graduation without Assignment is a Good Thing_1
Master Xing was still nostalgic for the Meat Processing Factory. However, his older brother didn’t hold the same sentiment. He started rushing him to follow Yan Fei as soon as he left the Meat Processing Factory. He didn’t want him to stay here for a second longer.
This honest, almost stolid old worker possessed nothing but his skills. When he was leaving, he couldn’t help but look back time after time at the place where he had worked and lived for most of his life. Unsure if it was the heat causing sweat to seep into his eyes, his eyes were getting a little red.
In reality, even the most honest person with the greatest affection for the factory understood this very clearly: once he left, the prospects of coming back to work here were practically nil.
Before he could sigh, Yan Fei swiftly took out a roll of money, counted out ten notes and stuffed them into Master Xing’s hand. He said, "There’s nothing but space at my place right now. Master Xing, you just need to familiarise yourself with the situation, no rush. You can go home first, sort things out, then come over. Take this money for now. Don’t reject it - it’s not given without reason. Consider it your advance payment for the first month’s wages. After this month’s work, there won’t be any wages for you!"
Yan Fei’s joke was far from funny. If Master Xing’s family wasn’t in difficulties, his brother wouldn’t have seized this chance to recommend his younger sibling. At Master Xing’s age, his children should either be in high school or college, or about to get married. It was the time to spend money.
So calling this one thousand yuan as sending charcoal in snowy weather was hardly enough, but Master Xing’s eyes reddened even more.
He wanted to refuse, but Yan Fei uttered his piece and didn’t give him the chance. He turned to his older brother, "I still need to ask you to personally handle the equipment contact matter. I hope to build the factory quickly and slaughter more than a dozen cows tomorrow. I want to keep a steady hundred cows a month and get the equipment ready as soon as possible! You are well aware of my situation. If there is a need for money, just say the word; let’s not stand on ceremony."
He just told the honest man not to rush, and now he was rushing again. But both men understood. Master Xing’s older brother nodded, "Rest assured, I can settle this matter tonight and you will have the phone number by tonight. It won’t delay your tomorrow’s contact with the factory."
Now that they had agreed on this issue and Master Xing had accepted the money, his older brother also felt at ease. He would definitely handle the matter carefully. For Yan Fei, it was a two-fold benefit. Both these Xing brothers were skilled and experienced; it was always good to get along with them.
Most importantly, dealing with honest people was assuring. As long as the wages were acceptable, they wouldn’t give you any trouble later. A monthly salary of one thousand yuan may seem a bit high now, but we have to consider their skills. As long as Master Xing was there, Yan Fei wouldn’t have to worry about workers. Whether he wanted to bring in a few more practical workers from the Meat Processing Factory or recruit new ones for Master Xing to train, it wouldn’t be an issue.
Once this matter was settled, Yan Fei returned home feeling very pleased.
Perhaps his luck was turning, he received another piece of good news at the cow farm just as he arrived.
This good news came from Zhang Hui.
When Zhang Hui mentioned this good news, the two trainees under his charge were present. However, for the two interns, this great news seemed to be the worst news ever—Technical Secondary School Students were no longer guaranteed job distribution, this year was the last year, but the quota was very limited and allocation was subjected to assessment. Unfortunately, neither of the two interns managed to pass.
Yan Fei was puzzled and asked, "You two, who spend your days studying and undergoing internships, have so many cows to practice on, and Brother Hui pointing you out, how could you fail the exam?"
These two students always followed Zhang Hui. They did not become close with others at the cow farm, probably because they thought they would be allocated elsewhere after. They were apprehensive of Yan Fei, a boss leading a gang of miscreants. They lifted their heads, and with resentful eyes stared at Yan Fei. Judging from their aggrieved expressions, it seemed like they had a lot to say but didn’t know how to express it.
Zhang Hui spoke on their behalf, "The exam was just a formality. They didn’t even publish the scores. The passers were the ones they wanted to pass. In the final year, only a few were guaranteed job allocation. The competition was intense; I’m sure the seats were already pre-booked. They didn’t stand a chance, given that they neither had money nor connections."
Yan Fei burst into laughter, "This is good news! If you two have nowhere else to go, you might as well stay here and work diligently. In the future, you two will be official employees. Get your personal belongings and move here!"
The two students had been here for a long time. After experiencing this incident, they had slowly come to recognise reality. Prompted by Zhang Hui, they dropped their scholarly demeanor and stepped forward to say, "Thank you, Boss Yan!"
"Enough with the formalities, just work hard in the future. Rest assured, you know, working for me won’t get you less pay than if you were allocated jobs." Afterward, Yan Fei turned to Zhang Hui and asked, "So, from now on, these students are no longer guaranteed job allocation?"
Zhang Hui nodded, "Yes! From now on, they will have to fend for themselves after graduation. The school can only help to recommend some internship units. Whether they can stay on, that depends on their capabilities!"
In truth, it couldn’t be considered as fending for oneself yet. After all, currently, the school was still able to help recommend some internship units, and many private enterprises and small companies struggle to recruit. Once the school stops having places to recommend, and any small, random company can hire university and postgraduate students and pick and choose as if they were shopping for vegetables in a wet market, only then it can be considered as fending for oneself as soon as they graduate.
"What great news! It seems I won’t have to worry about hiring educated people in the future!" Yan Fei couldn’t be happier.
"Brother Fei, aren’t you too delighted about this? Isn’t it a bit inappropriate?" Heizi from the side reminded him.
Yan Fei would have liked to show sympathy for those two interns who didn’t have an "iron rice bowl" job, but his mood was too good, he simply couldn’t feel sympathetic...Nevermind, no sympathy then. This news was indeed great for him, it made him extremely happy.
The only thing he was dissatisfied with was: "Brother Hui, you’re not being very generous. If there’s no job distribution, why didn’t you tell me earlier. Could’ve let me start finding some diploma holders earlier..."
Zhang Hui looked at him speechlessly: "When they say no job distribution, they mean for those who have nowhere else to go. Those with popular majors already have prospects! Vet school isn’t popular. You don’t even need that many right now, do you? Besides, wouldn’t there be lots of graduates for you to choose from every year now..."
Yan Fei was just speaking casually, he hadn’t noticed this issue while hanging around in the provincial city for a few days. Clearly, schools like Xu Xiaoyan’s were quite nonchalant about it. At this time, most educated and skilled people were in great demand. Private enterprises had a huge shortage of workers and offered high salaries. As for him, a small-town cattle farmer wanting to hire university students to raise cattle, that would still be a couple years away...
Luckily, the cattle farm is fully staffed now. Xiang Rui, with Ma Chao’s wife and Heizi’s wife, who had some basic understanding, could fully handle all the work on the cattle farm while learning and gaining practical experience.
As for the rest, he could slowly hire more people as the farm grows. Since there is no job distribution, he doesn’t believe that he can’t attract people by offering high salaries!
Yan Fei was quite confident about this.
Of course, he couldn’t appear too complacent. After all, there would be more people unhappy about the news than there would be pleased. If he was too happy and others found out, he would have to be careful not to go from joy to sorrow...
And yet, someone objected: "Xiao Fei, are you taking pleasure in other people’s misfortune?"
Yan Fei looked at the grinning Old Cheng: "It’s not fair to say that. Not providing job placement is a good thing! It gives them more choices and develops their skills right from job hunting after graduation. Look at me, I’m not in a hurry. When I graduate from university in the future, I definitely don’t want a job with job distribution..."
Zhang Hui pointed out bluntly: "That’s what you call standing and talking without backache!"
Yan Fei didn’t have a backache, and cheerfully called to Lin Yumei in the kitchen: "Aunt Yu Mei, we have two more technicians on the farm now. Make sure to cook for two more people! Brother Hui doesn’t need it, he has a backache and can’t eat..."
After saying that, he remembered something else, left a sentence for everyone, and slipped off to the phone room. After thinking about it, he dialed a number, and after getting a response, he said: "Who’s there? It’s Yan Fei. Can you call Yang Caiflower for me?"
An extremely enthusiastic voice came from the phone right away: "Boss Yan! Hold on a moment, I’ll go get your aunt over!"
That’s right, this Yang Caiflower is Yan Fei’s auntie.
Speaking of this aunt and uncle of his, they are truly the epitome of uneducated people. They have many shortcomings, including being shortsighted and innocent - Yan Fei once gave them a pregnant wild rabbit, and when it birthed nine pups, they ate them all. When Yan Fei saw his cousins coming to the wet market with ten rabbit skins to sell, it left him speechless.
But to say they were incapable of anything would be an injustice. For one, being able to raise all nine baby rabbits is not something just anyone can do. Aside from that, they can also raise chickens, ducks, geese, feeds pigs, and raise cows at home. The couple are far from lazy and are capable of many things. But they only dabble in small ventures and lack long-term vision.
But Yan Fei hadn’t been counting on them to achieve anything big. As long as they raise cows and earthworms for him, when they send them over in the future, he could simply add a little more to the bill when settling accounts - it’s fair game to help relatives over non-relatives. Even if he pays a dollar per earthworm from his uncle’s house, others can only envy and jealous, saying that Boss Yan is fair and generous and not the type of person who throws all calls to reason to the wind when money is in play.
As he was thinking this, he finally heard a somewhat panting voice from the receiver, "It’s Xiao Fei, right? I’m your aunt, you need something?"
