Chapter 407: Chapter 147: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (34)

Xu Chengfang nodded again and again, diligently taking note of the important details.

"Yunyun, this idea of yours is brilliant. Many of the Educated Youth sent to the countryside are well-educated, have good character, are willing to endure hardship, and are quite clever. They only ended up in the countryside because of the limited number of jobs, and now they’re stuck there with no way back to the city."

"Yunyun, you’re sure to become everyone’s hope. Someone might even send you a banner of thanks for this!"

Chi Yun’er said with a smile, "I was an Educated Youth sent to the countryside once. I’ll admit, I was too delicate and didn’t do much farm work, but I completely understand what life is like for everyone out there."

"All your knowledge is completely useless, and on top of that, the locals look down on you for being no good at farm work. The food is terrible, the living conditions are uncomfortable... it’s just so stifling."

"All they’re missing is an opportunity. And there will be plenty more opportunities like this in the future." As she said this, a light flashed in Chi Yun’er’s fox-like eyes.

She said with a grin, "We can have the hospital employees’ families write letters to their children in the countryside. They can say that everyone, regardless of whether they have a high school diploma, will have a chance to take our recruitment exam."

"The exam’s difficulty will be on par with the high school graduation exams, but even those with just an elementary school education can take it. Anyone who passes will be accepted. Plus, there will be many opportunities, so tell everyone to prepare thoroughly."

"Oh, and another thing. This first round of recruitment is for the children of our current employees. But for all future openings, half the spots will go to employees’ children, and the other half will be open to Educated Youth not affiliated with Kyoto General Hospital."

"Are we just simple salesclerks in the commissary? No, we’re representatives for every single employee at Kyoto General Hospital! We’ll make sure every patient and family member who walks through our doors experiences the high caliber of our hospital staff..."

"Besides, a lot of the work can’t be done without a solid educational foundation..."

"So, they’ll have to bury their heads in books and study hard..."

’Heh.’ Chi Yun’er had already deduced that Bian Yumin had been reborn, just like her. Jiang Zishi had been trying to cozy up to the village chief’s family to secure a coveted spot at the Industrial and Agricultural University.

He had been on the verge of success. But his greed was insatiable, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. He’d even tried to ruin her, but in the end, he only shot himself in the foot. He could forget about getting a spot at the Industrial and Agricultural University now.

The village chief was certain to be stripped of his position, and both the Bian family and Jiang Zishi would have to face retaliation from Director Zhang.

With that opportunity gone, Bian Yumin would definitely push Jiang Zishi to take the college entrance exam!

The thing was, Bian Yumin couldn’t explicitly mention the college entrance exam ahead of time.

And since Jiang Zishi didn’t take his studies very seriously, even if he just casually flipped through a few books, he’d still be far better prepared than the people who would only find out about the exam a few months beforehand.

But now, Chi Yun’er was dangling the immense temptation of a real job to motivate all the Educated Youth to study as hard as they could.

Which family among the staff at Kyoto General Hospital didn’t have five, six, or even eight children?

Answering the call of the Party, a great many children from the hospital’s family residential compound had been sent to the countryside as Educated Youth, scattered all across the nation.

With them spreading the news, the vast population of Educated Youth—exhausted from their labor and hopeless about the future—would surely sense that something was changing.

"Fortune favors the prepared. It doesn’t matter how many people apply; as long as your scores are high and your fundamentals are solid, you’ll have a chance to get ahead!"

’With all the Educated Youth caught up in this frenzy of competition, could Jiang Zishi possibly come out on top?’

’Even if he managed to get into a vocational school or some ordinary university, he’d probably be too embarrassed to even show his face when he returned, right?’

Xu Chengfang agreed wholeheartedly. "It’s never wrong to study!"

Chi Yun’er added, "Besides the four full-time positions I mentioned, we’ll also need a number of people for temporary work. These positions will also be open to employees’ families, with priority given to those of good character and those with heavy financial burdens at home."

"Our commissary has its supply chains and pricing figured out. We can’t just be confined to this one little room. We have to get out there and sell directly to people!"

"We should stock up on some of the things people need most..."

She hastily jotted down everything Chi Yun’er said, then quickly drafted a formal proposal and rushed off to the hospital director’s office.

The hospital leadership was desperate for more recruitment slots. When they heard the candidates would be selected from the pool of Educated Youth from employees’ own families, they didn’t hesitate for a second, stamping their approval decisively.

Once she had the approval, Xu Chengfang hurried back to her office without a moment’s rest. She drafted a notice, checked it several times to make sure every last detail was included, and ended up with a sprawling, three-page document.

She then made numerous copies of the notice.

Xu Chengfang figured the commissary would be empty around noon anyway, so she didn’t hurry back. Instead, she got on her bicycle and went to post the announcement on all the bulletin boards throughout the hospital grounds.

Of course, she also posted it in the family residential compound. She didn’t even spare the outer walls surrounding the hospital!

The two words "Job Recruitment," printed on bright red paper, were enough to stop everyone in their tracks. People swarmed the notice boards like mad. Upon seeing the phrase "priority given to Educated Youth," their eyes welled up. They carefully memorized the important details on the notice before rushing home.
