An hour later, as she left the bicycle factory, Yuanchun had six hundred yuan in her pocket.
Taozi was overjoyed to have secured the job. She pulled Yuanchun into the State-run Restaurant and said, "Yuanchun, you’ve done me such a huge favor. I’m treating you to a meal, and you aren't allowed to refuse. If it weren't for this job, my mother would have transferred her position to me. My mother has high seniority and a high salary; if she had transferred it, I would have become a new hire and lost eighteen yuan in wages every month."
"Besides, you’re heading to the countryside tomorrow afternoon. Consider this meal a send-off from me."
