Chapter 232: Getting a Letter of Recommendation
"No, I'm just a little nervous as soon as I stop, I made the first few times a little discouraged, what do you say if we go in a hurry this time and come back disappointed?"
Amy sighed heavily, she had thought very well a few days ago, but she was a little uneasy when it came to this day.
"It's okay, didn't you say you could do business in the city? If it still doesn't work this time, then, you take the college entrance examination first, you are admitted and I will accompany you to Jiangcheng, I will do my small business, you go to your school, and when you graduate from college, we will open a store together. ”
Minco reached out and rubbed her hair, closed the door, and walked outside with his other hand around her shoulder.
"Hmmm! This is the Mingke I know! Amy reached out and patted him on the shoulder, pleased that he hadn't broken up this time.
The two took the bus to the fertilizer factory, along the way Amy was wondering if to bring some gifts to the factory director, after thinking for a long time still there was no answer, she turned around and patted Mingke on the shoulder and asked:
"Mingke, do you think we should bring something for the factory director?"
He thought for a moment, leaned into Amy's ear and whispered:
"I don't think it's okay, the last time I just went to visit him and brought something, there was nothing wrong with it, this time we wanted people to help, and it always felt weird to bring him gifts, as if we wanted to bribe someone."
"Makes sense," Amy put her index finger to her mouth and nodded blankly as she looked ahead.
"Then let's go empty-handed, so as not to let others see it, saying that the factory director is accepting bribes and causing reputation trouble to others."
"Hmm!" The more Ming Ke looked at her, the more he felt that she was beautiful, and gently pursed his mouth and blew on her forehead, his hair was blown to the side, revealing his smooth skin, and he gently leaned in and kissed her.
Amy looked at the people around her in surprise and found that they didn't notice her, so she put down her heart a little and hammered Mingke vigorously, with a shy.
"What are you afraid of? No one saw it anyway. ”
Ming Ke looked at her shyness, stretched out his hand and flicked her, deliberately teasing.
"If no one sees it, don't kiss me anymore, otherwise, be careful that I don't talk to you."
Amy turned her head to attack him, and he quickly raised his hands slightly, with a "I was wrong" expression.
She couldn't help but laugh a few times, and then smacked him again:
"Take the car well, don't play tricks!"
"Good!"
After speaking, Ming Ke turned around, stared ahead with his eyes, and sat on the chair seriously.
Soon, the bus arrived, and Amy covered the glare of the sun with her hand and her eyes fell on the three big characters in front of her.
This time, they only came three times in a row, and to be honest, she was very uncertain, and she didn't know if the factory director was willing to write this letter of recommendation.
Ming Ke saw her hesitation, stepped forward and grabbed her hand:
"Let's go! Don't hesitate, what's going on with you and me? The worst result is to go back to the village and farm. ”
"Hmm!"
Amy smiled and nodded, and the two walked into the fertilizer factory.
This time, like the last time, the security guard at the door sent them to the factory director's office.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw the factory director's two hands attached to the temples massaging back and forth, obviously a little tired.
He opened his eyes and saw the surprise on the faces of the two of them:
"Oh, two little comrades, why are you, we haven't seen each other for half a year last time! Hurry up, sit down, let's have a good chat, I haven't had time to thank you for helping our factory repair the machine last time! ”
Amy and the two of them sat on the sofa, and she smiled:
"Director, you said this too politely, last time it was just a gesture, where do you need to remember it for so long!"
"Alas! It's a lot of work for you, but for our whole factory, you've been a great help, and if you weren't there, I don't know when my machine would have to stop! ”
The director took three glasses of water and put them in front of Amy, sat down himself, and said with a smile.
"By the way, looking at you like this, is there anything wrong with coming to me today?"
The factory director took a sip of water from his cup and asked.
"To tell you the truth, we do have something to ask you for help this time."
Amy placed the cup on the table, her hands crossed over her lap, not knowing how to speak.
Ming Ke put his hand on hers, smiled at her, turned his head and said to the factory director:
"Maybe you also know, my identity is a little embarrassing, I am not a rural educated youth in the village, my mother was branded as a bad element because of some things, and I am also a bad person because of this, but with your praise letter, my status in the village is much better. I also thank you very much, this time I came because I want to take the college entrance examination, but because of my identity, I have not been able to apply for a place, I hope you can help me write a letter of recommendation, I ......"
It's especially rare for Minco to say so much to someone other than Amy. After speaking, he looked up at the factory director, waiting for his answer.
The factory director's expression was a little shocked, probably because he didn't expect this boy to be so straightforward and dare to say such a humiliating thing.
Seeing the expression of the factory director, Amy exclaimed in her heart like a deflated balloon: "It's over, it's over." ”
After a while, the director blinked twice, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and replied:
"I thought it was something, but it turned out to be a letter of recommendation! Meaningless, Comrade Mingke, I think you are very good, not at all the bad elements I have influenced in the past, much better than the children of the so-called 'good elements' on the street. It's just that I'm writing this letter to you a little early, after all, it's been so many years since I left school, and I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll forget some knowledge! ”
"No, it won't!" Amy "Peng" bounced up from the sofa and said in a loud voice:
"Half a year ago, I found a set of high school textbooks from outside to study with him, he is very smart, I can't think of some topics after thinking about them for a long time, he knows the answer at a glance."
"Hahaha, look at your little girlfriend, anxious." The factory director was shy, laughed a few times, and said:
"Okay, I'll write a letter of recommendation to your boyfriend in a while, you guys sit on the sofa and wait for a while!"
With that, the factory director turned around and returned to his desk, and Minke reached out and rubbed Amy's head, and took her to the couch and sat down.
Amy thought back to what she had just said, and immediately covered her face with her shy hands, and whispered to Minke:
"Mingke, what should I do? I don't have a face to see anyone. ”
Mingke slowly moved his head to her side, and said in the same whisper:
"It's okay, you're thick-skinned, not bad for this layer."
"you!"
She thumped him and whispered coquettishly.
After a while, the director closed the lid of the pen, picked up the paper on the table with both hands, blew lightly, made sure that the handwriting was dry, carefully put it into the envelope, stood up and walked in front of Minke, and handed the letter out.
Mingke was just about to reach out to take it, but the factory director retracted his hand again:
"Huh? This letter of recommendation can be given to you, but I have a small request. ”
"You say."
"If you are successfully admitted to the university, then we will postpone this matter a little later, if you are not admitted to the university, you must ensure that when you look for a job, you must consider our fertilizer factory first, of course, I am also here to promise you, as long as you are willing to bring your little girlfriend to come, the fertilizer factory will always have a place for the two of you."
The factory director put away his smiling face, with a serious face, he felt that although these two children were from the countryside, they were like eagles without full wings, once they were full-fledged, they would fly higher than many city children. He wanted to keep this talent for the fertilizer plant.
Minke thought for a moment and pulled the envelope away. The director knew that he agreed with his statement.
After getting the letter, Ming Ke couldn't wait to open it, and the factory director put his hands behind his back, staring at the letter and saying:
"With this letter, I can guarantee that you can use the quota in Jiangcheng to take the college entrance examination, even more than taking it from the village, and the chances of passing the exam will be higher."
"Thank you!" Amy pulled Mingke and bowed deeply, and said to the factory director very sincerely.
"Don't thank me, if you don't make it. I can't write this, I'm willing to do it, but I just want the country to have a few more pillars! ”
The director waved his hand and said to them with a smile.
"Don't worry! I have this confidence, and Mingke and I will definitely not let you down. ”
Amy glanced at Minke and assured the factory director.
The three of them sat down and talked for a while, and Amy got up to leave.
Along the way, Amy asked Minke several times to take out the letter and look at it, for fear that she would lose it.
When she arrived at the station, she asked to see the letter again, and Ming Ke took it out a little helplessly:
"Look! This letter is here! I think it's very likely that your request to read the letter once or twice will be blown away by the wind when I take it out. ”
Amy took out the letter inside, quickly skimmed the side, slowly folded the letter, and put it into the envelope like a baby.
"You have a crow's mouth! It's noon, where the wind comes from. ”
After saying this, a gust of wind blew, and the envelope in Amy's hand was blown to the ground.
"Oops! Don't run! ”
As she spoke, Amy quickly chased after her, but the wind came and went, and every time she bent down to pick it up, the envelope would be blown forward for a while, and later, there was really no other way, so Amy had to step on the letter with her foot.
She picked up the letter from the ground, and there was a large footprint on the envelope, which she had flipped with her hand for a long time.
"What to do? I got dirty, and I should have listened to you and didn't take it out. ”
