Chapter 44 Onboarding

Jia Zhang was a little anxious.

If you keep wasting time, it will be dawn.

How can we take action then?

She touched Bang Geng's thigh and was just about to grit her teeth and pinch his thigh a few times to wake him up.

Unexpectedly, Banggeng didn't wake up, but Jia Dongxu was a light sleeper and was woken up by the noise.

"Mom, why are you calling Banggeng?"

"without……"

Jia Zhang's eyes rolled, "I'm afraid he'll wet the bed."

With all this commotion, Qin Huairu also woke up.

"Mom, Banggeng is already so old, he hasn't wet the bed for a long time."

Jia Zhang said a little guilty, "I know, you guys go to sleep."

Jia Zhang turned over and closed her eyes for a while.

Hearing that there was no movement in the room, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu's breathing gradually became even, and it was estimated that they both fell asleep again.

She sat up quietly, moved to the bedside quietly, and just put on her shoes.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Jia Dongxu asked softly.

"I...I get up at night."

"I'll go with you."

"no, I'm fine."

Jia Dongxu put on his clothes without saying anything, and went out while helping Jia Zhangshi.

Ever since Jia Zhang talked about the Jiang family last night, Jia Dongxu has been feeling uneasy.

He was afraid that if he wasn't paying attention, Jia Zhang would do something stupid again.

Being helped by Jia Dongxu to the public toilet, Jia Zhang had no choice but to go in and squat for a while.

After coming out, I saw Jia Dongxu still waiting at the door of the public toilet.

"You go back first. I can't sleep. I'm just walking around."

"It's so cold so early in the morning, why are you wandering around by yourself?"

"What if you fall?"

Jia Zhang pursed her lips.

Jia Dongxu was watching closely, so I had no choice but to follow him back to the house.

Early in the morning, except Banggeng and Xiaodang, none of the three members of the Jia family could sleep well.

After breakfast, Jia Dongxu prepared to go to work.

Before leaving, he pulled Qin Huairu outside and whispered to her:

"After I go to the factory, keep an eye on our mother and don't let her run around."

Qin Huairu looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Jia Dongxu thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing. I just feel uneasy. Don't ask any more questions. Just do as I say."

Qin Huairu nodded without understanding what was going on.

Jiang Bo slept another night in the duty room of Xicheng Police Station.

When he woke up, some police officers who had arrived early had already arrived for work.

The institute’s canteen provides breakfast.

He simply washed up and went to the cafeteria.

The master at the window recognized him and, when he saw him coming, served him a bowl of porridge, steamed buns and a plate of pickles.

It was still early and not many people came to the restaurant, so he found an empty seat and sat down.

This was his first time to eat in the cafeteria.

He looked around curiously and found that the cafeteria of this era was somewhat different from the cafeteria before he traveled through time.

It is not self-service like some company canteens.

It's not like the student cafeteria where you swipe your card to get your food.

It is a quota-based system, that is, everyone receives the same amount of food.

Everyone took a steamed bun, a plate of pickles and a bowl of porridge.

He ate his breakfast slowly as more and more people came to the cafeteria.

However, Ye Xiaoyun has not been seen since.

He deliberately ate slowly. By the time it was almost time to go to work, the few police officers left in the cafeteria who had arrived late had almost finished their meals, but he still hadn't seen Ye Xiaoyun.

"Why doesn't she come to the cafeteria for breakfast?"

Jiang Bo felt a little strange.

The tableware he used was from the cafeteria. He washed it in the sink and gave it to the chef who served the food. Then he strolled back to the office area.

In the corridor, a female comrade stopped him.

"Comrade Jiang Bo, I'm Lin Ping from the Personnel Department."

"Your background check results are out, and there are no problems. Come with me to complete the formalities."

"it is good."

Jiang Bo and Lin Ping came to the office together.

He took the several pages of documents handed to him by Lin Ping, browsed through them one by one, and signed his name in the signature column.

"I'll need a few one-inch photos. If you don't have them with you, take some time these two days and give them to me later."

"Okay." Jiang Bo said as he returned the signed document to Lin Ping.

"correct."

Jiang Bo pretended to ask casually, "Why didn't I see the comrade who was writing materials with me yesterday today?"

Facing Lin Ping's slightly inquiring eyes, Jiang Bo added calmly:

"We were halfway through our work yesterday, and there is still some material that has not been completed."

"She said she had some more questions for me."

"Oh, you mean Xiaoye?" Lin Ping replied, "She had some family matters and asked for leave today."

"So that's it."

Jiang Bo thought, no wonder I didn’t see her in the cafeteria.

"Since she's not coming to work today, I'll go back first if nothing else."

"Okay," Lin Ping replied, "The personnel department has completed all the formalities."

"Oh, by the way, please register your height and weight with me, and I will help you order a uniform."

"Do we in the purchasing department also have uniforms?"

"Of course." Lin Ping said with a smile, "It's all revolutionary work, just with different divisions of labor. You are also members of our public security team, so of course you will be issued uniforms."

"It's just that my colleagues in purchasing don't usually wear them."

Jiang Bo understood immediately.

I'm doing purchasing, but this outfit really stands out.

When the street vendors saw us at Xishi Station, they thought we were here to investigate a crime, but that was unnecessary.

"You are 185cm tall. Please step on the scale and let me see..."

There were no electronic scales in this era. Jiang Bo stood on the old-fashioned scale while Lin Ping added weights one by one.

"140 pounds."

Lin Ping quickly filled in the form with a pen.

Considering Jiang Bo's height of 185cm, this weight is not considered heavy.

However, people in this era were generally malnourished, so it was quite normal.

If measured by modern standards of height and weight, it would be unusual in this era.

"Come over tomorrow to pick up your uniform. Today is the 12th, and I filled in today as your start date, so that I can get your full salary this month."

"Otherwise, if you join the company two days later, you will only receive half a month's salary."

Jiang Bo was not really counting on the monthly salary. What was more important about this job was that it gave him an identity within the system and a reasonable and legal path to handle the output of his portable space.

As for his salary, it is nothing compared to his other income.

But right.

This is a society based on personal relationships, and it has been like this in any era.

Although he didn't particularly care about it, Jiang Bo couldn't take it for granted.

After all, for ordinary people, Lin Ping's move is indeed a favor of some size.

Only with favors can there be interactions.

Jiang Bo understands this principle.

If I have the chance in the future, I will naturally repay this favor.

on the other hand.

Yesterday at noon in the duty room, before lunch, he heard Ye Xiaoyun mention going to the cafeteria with Sister Lin.

There are not many female police officers in the station, so I guess the Sister Lin that Ye Xiaoyun mentioned is the one in front of me.

If he wanted to develop a good relationship with Ye Xiaoyun, it would be necessary for him to have a good relationship with Sister Lin, who was Ye Xiaoyun's best friend.

"Then I must thank Sister Lin very much!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Bo thanked Lin Ping more sincerely.
