sisters

Third floor.

Office number one to the left of the stairs, two desks sit across from each other by the window. Office director Li Jiamin sits on one side, Secretary Liu Qingshan sits on the opposite side, and a girl in her early twenties stands next to them, being questioned by Li Jiamin.

She wore a dress and had long, loose hair. She wasn't very tall, about 1.6 metres.

She had a slim figure and a charming silhouette.

"Director!"

Jiang Fan called out from the doorway before entering.

Li Jiamin turned his head to look, grunted in response, and waited for Jiang Fan to approach before introducing, "This is our new secretary, Pei Shishi, a graduate in chemical engineering from the teacher's college. Have her settled in and process her onboarding as soon as possible."

Jiang Fan nodded and looked at the girl.

She had delicate features that harmonized well. A very pretty girl.

"Hello!"

Pei Shishi was also looking at him. Seeing him turn to look at her, she quickly greeted him.

Jiang Fan nodded without saying much more and led her out.

First, they went to the human resources department to process her onboarding.

"Is the director keeping her?"

Human resources manager Chen Yiwang, in his thirties, asked as he saw him leading someone in.

Jiang Fan nodded, "Yes, Brother Chen. Please take care of her onboarding."

Chen Yiwang glanced at Pei Shishi and handed her an employee registration form to fill in.

Pei Shishi immediately took it and began filling it out.

Jiang Fan moved a stool over for her, "Sit while you fill it in."

"Thank you!"

The young girl quickly thanked him before sitting down to fill in the form.

Jiang Fan stood by, watching and commenting now and then, "No need to fill in the email. Just put down your phone number. Don't worry about the computer level either.

It's useless. If you have any awards, write them down. If not, just leave it blank!"

After giving some pointers, he chatted with Chen Yiwang.

Once Pei Shishi filled in the form, Chen Yiwang also wrote her a note and gave her some instructions.

Jiang Fan then led her to the logistics department to arrange accommodation.

At the logistics department, they bumped into a group of new students.

In there was Pei Shishi's twin sister Pei Wenwen, much to the surprise of many.

Not only did they look identical, they dressed identically as well.

It was quite unusual for twin sisters to be employed at the same company.

Even Jiang Fan had to take a few extra glances. He wasn't able to tell them apart back then, and still couldn't tell them apart now.

Unless one of them changed clothes or had a different hairstyle.

However, this sister of hers had a rather unfortunate fate. She was assigned to a workshop and left within less than a month to join a property company. Not long after, her boss turned out to be bad news. Soon after, she was done for and left rather quickly. Not long after, Pei Shishi also resigned and left.

Since everyone was there to handle their accommodation, it was quite crowded.

Jiang Fan led her upfront and cut the line, "Brother Wang, she's new to our department. Could you help us out with the accommodation arrangement?"

The manager, old Wang, was very accommodating. The office was the closest to the higher-ups, and logistics was like a powder keg, the most likely department to have issues. The last people they wanted to offend were the office people. Hence, without uttering another word, the accommodation for Pei Shishi was arranged first.

Others were a bit put off but didn't dare voice their displeasure and could only wait patiently.

Once the dormitory was assigned, Jiang Fan led Pei Shishi to the security department.

As they were leaving, Pei Shishi exchanged a look with her sister.

Neither of them uttered a word. They were both in a new environment and feeling somewhat at a loss.

At the security department, there was another crowd.

New employees were going through a three-day safety training education.

After the training, they had to take a test. Only those who passed the test could report to their respective departments.

Of course, office workers didn't need the training; it was more of a formality.

Jiang Fan got a set of question papers and then handed over the onboarding form to the safety manager. The manager issued a safety paperwork, and then they went downstairs to the fleet, got a vehicle to the warehouse to receive a bunch of safety work clothes, safety shoes, safety helmet, bedding, and the likes.

Public vehicles for private use.

No other department had this kind of treatment.

Who else could command such privilege other than the people whose department managed the fleet?

On the way back, they even saw many newly onboarded employees carrying large piles of safety work clothes and bedding from the warehouse to the dormitory.

How miserable they looked.

Society isn't easy at all!

When they arrived at the dormitory, they first went to get the keys from the dorm supervisor.

The dormitory that the logistics dorm supervisor arranged for them was in a three-story building. The entire third floor was specifically for the female staff from the office departments. Room number 306 was only occupied by two people. One from the security department and one from the finance department. The room was quite a mess; the two women were pretty laissez-faire.

There were two bunk beds, the lower bunks were taken. Only the top bunks were left and were filled with several items.

Pei Shishi, carrying the bedding, followed Jiang Fan who was carrying the safety clothes.

They peeked into the room as they walked in, Jiang Fan threw the safety clothes onto the lower bunk near the window, and said, "Only the top bunks are left. Choose one. Leave your things here for now and wait until the older residents come back at noon. Then you can set up your bed after they have cleared the stuff."

Pei Shishi quickly acknowledged, placed her items down and followed Jiang Fan out of the room.

Then they went to the canteen to top up the meal card, and it's time to knock off.

"All done, let's grab a meal!"

Jiang Fan called out and decided not to return to the office thereby.

"I'd like to wait for my sister."

Jiang Fan nodded in response, "Find me at the office in the afternoon. The printing room at the first office to the right on the first floor of the office building."

Pei Shishi acknowledged, watched him walk away, and only then did she step out to the canteen to call her sister.

Just as Jiang Fan was getting his meal, the other employees started arriving.

Every mealtime was like going to battle. Luckily, he arrived early that day.

At the entrance to the canteen.

Pei Shishi waited for a good while before seeing her sister, Pei Wenwen, arrive.

"Sister, have you finished your registration?"

"Done. What about you?"

"Not yet!"

Pei Wenwen complained, "Just to get the dorm arranged takes half the day. In the afternoon, I need to get my bedding arranged first.

After settling my lodging arrangements, I have to report to the security department. I heard the orientation training last for three days and only after passing a test can I go and register at my designated department. It's such a hassle."

Pei Shishi was surprised, "I didn't hear anything about a three-day training. I just got a set of question papers and left."

Pei Wenwen was indignant, "Of course, the office department doesn't need to follow the procedure. You're the one who is privileged. You didn't even need to queue."

Pei Shishi felt a heavy sense of guilt, "Let's go get our meal first."

The experience of job hunting is seldom pleasant.

Only after graduating and stepping into society do you realize how tough life outside can be.

Just going through all the procedures for job registration can make one dizzy. Looking at her sister, you would know.

It was only because she was assigned to the office department and had seniors helping her through the procedures, it felt as though she had the green light all along.

Otherwise, just like her sister, she would have to queue and wait patiently. How exhausting it must be.

Jiang Fan went back to the dormitory after his meal and soon after laying down, his roommate Wang Qiang arrived.

There were three types of dormitories in the factory. One was high-rise suites, the second was medium-rise single rooms.

The rest were all four-person rooms, but the conditions for the office department were better.

The men of the office unit had a whole building to themselves. It was rare to see a room filled with four people; most rooms only had two or three occupants.

It was probably because the workers from the production line have to work night shifts and living in the same building with the office department was simply out of the question.

Room number 103 was occupied by Jiang Fan and Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang worked in the party office, he was a year older than Jiang Fan, and was also a regular guy.

He only joined last year, two years later than Jiang Fan. But he held a Master's degree.

"Have you heard? There's a pretty girl in your department."

"Yes."

"Does she have a boyfriend? Can you introduce me?"

"Focus on your job. Stop fantasizing."

"Screw you. Are you planning to monopolize her?"

Jiang Fan didn't want to entertain him, turned away to continue inspecting his eyes.

There was an issue with his eyes, it was his little secret.

Every time he closed his eyes, he could see all kinds of colorful lines.

Just follow a certain line, and you can see the grand prize number.

But the problem is, the numbers drawn are not what he saw.

This is a bit absurd.

Today is Monday, he can see tomorrow night's Double Color Ball jackpot number, but he can't see the Super Lotto on Wednesday, there is a time limit, it seems that only the numbers within forty-eight hours can be seen, beyond this time range he can nothing be done about it.

Yesterday's Double Color Ball was boostless, Jiang Fan is a bit uninterested.

He even doesn't hold out much hope for tonight's Super Lotto.

Let's wait and see!

Maybe he will win the Super Lotto?

Fantasizing for a while, Jiang Fan fell asleep in a daze.

He is used to taking a nap. If he doesn't sleep, he will yawn all afternoon at work.
