Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 942

Chapter 942: Chapter 815: First Day at the Workplace

Slinging her shoulder bag with a short sleeve white shirt on top, olive-green military pants below, and a pair of white sneakers, Zhou Jiao marched spiritedly through the gate of the planning commission.

She had barely taken a few steps when someone behind her yelled loudly, "Zhou, come here!"

Zhou Jiao turned around and, oh boy, she ran into someone she knew.

She hurriedly jogged over and stood straight, just about to greet him as usual, when she suddenly realized he called her Zhou. Should she call him Uncle or Comrade?

"No one to accompany you for the registration? I just happen to be going in, shall we go together?"

Upon hearing this, she chuckled awkwardly at the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and a square face, "Uncle Xu, after you please."

"From now on, call me Comrade Xu, you know?"

Zhou Jiao waited for him to walk ahead, then followed, a step behind, "The way you say it, I’m really not used to it. But what you tell your niece must be right, I’ll listen to you."

"Smart girl!" Xu Youliang said as he walked along, softly introducing, "Up ahead is the office, past that are the finance, organization, politics departments..."

Zhou Jiao, thoughtfully watching his back, followed him the entire way. Not knowing much else, she at least got a rough idea of the departments inside.

Almost at her registration point, Zhou Jiao bid him farewell. She didn’t want to suddenly gain an extra elder to accompany her; she got in fair and square, not through connections, so why bother?

Once inside, Zhou Jiao sought out a female comrade around thirty years old, with short hair, phoenix eyes, thick lips, who looked charming and seemed straightforward, to inquire. Before she could finish asking, she was led to an office.

Inside was a middle-aged man who, even without wearing a uniform, exuded a strong sense of military authority and strength with just a glance at him.

That kind of authority and strength couldn’t be faked. At this moment, the middle-aged man was sitting upright at his desk, buried in work.

Upon hearing a call for a report, Zhou Jiao happened to see him looking up somewhat displeased.

This man seemed about forty. His short flat-top hair was neat, his square face had thick, bushy eyebrows, and his thin lips were tightly pressed.

Upon hearing that Comrade Zhou Jiao was here to report, a smile immediately appeared on his face. His eyes narrowed with the smile, and there were some deep wrinkles at the corners.

"So it’s Comrade Zhou Jiao, I’m Bao Zhilin, welcome, welcome."

When he stood up, Zhou Jiao noticed that he was really tall, very broad-shouldered, and indeed quite tanned. The thick calluses on his hands proved he had been a soldier.

"Hello, Comrade Bao." Zhou Jiao greeted him, handing over the file bag containing her registration documents.

"Xiao Jin, pour some tea for Comrade Zhou."

Zhou Jiao quickly thanked but declined. If she guessed right, once this leader checked the notice, he would probably send her to the personnel office, finance room, or something like that.

Soon, after Bao Zhilin reviewed the documents, he organized and handed back the file bag to Zhou Jiao, "Let Comrade Xiao Jin accompany you for registration; ask her if you have any questions."

Bidding farewell, Zhou Jiao remained clueless. Upon leaving the room, with plenty of people in the corridor, she didn’t plan to query anything at the moment.

However, Xiao Jin warmly introduced colleagues to Zhou Jiao and led her through several departments, eventually completing handover procedures at the archives before returning to Bao Zhilin’s office.

With her work certificate hanging around her neck and a piece of paper in her right hand, the confused Zhou Jiao felt relieved to see Bao Zhilin again.

"Xiao Jin should have taken you to the office just now?"

Zhou Jiao gratefully smiled at Xiao Jin and nodded towards Bao Zhilin.
