Chapter 242 The Great Fairy and Living Bodhisattva

Su Taotao breathed a sigh of relief but still reached out to help the woman up. "Mrs., are you okay?"

"Director Su, you are truly a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering. I thank you on behalf of my whole family, thank you, thank you..."

The woman continued to kowtow to Su Taotao (a traditional gesture of deep respect or gratitude).

Su Taotao, quick-eyed and swift-handed, hurriedly supported her.

"Mrs., what are you doing? You're going to bring me bad luck! If you have something to say, please stand up and speak properly!"

The woman still refused to get up, insisting on kneeling down.

"Mrs., if you don't get up and keep saying such things, others will report me!"

The woman suddenly remembered that she couldn't engage in feudal superstition and must not implicate Director Su.

So she quickly got up from the ground.

"Director Su, I really don't know how to repay your great kindness and virtue, that's why I thought of kowtowing to you. I meant no harm."

Su Taotao thought it over and over, but she couldn't recall doing any good deeds recently.

To whom had she shown such great kindness and virtue?

Seeing her confused look, the woman decided not to explain.

"Anyway, thank you. I’m leaving now. You are as beautiful as a fairy and as kind-hearted as a Bodhisattva."

With these words, the woman really turned and left.

Su Taotao was left standing there, completely baffled.

Could someone please tell her what was going on?

Su Taotao looked around. If it weren't for the familiar surroundings, she might have thought she had traveled to another world again.

The unexpected kindness from everyone around her was indeed a bit unnerving. Su Taotao quickened her pace, heading home.

On the way, she ran into Xia Zhiqiu, who had just picked up Dongdong from school.

Su Taotao told her about the "encounter" she just had.

Xia Zhiqiu smiled and said, "The recruitment list was posted this afternoon, didn’t you notice?"

Su Taotao shook her head, "No, I didn’t."

Well, if it weren't for the woman's sudden kowtow, she might have had a chance to see it.

Because the bulletin board was right across from the palm tree flower bed, she had glanced at it but didn’t look closely.

"We recruited several people with disabilities this time, and also many people with large families and tight budgets, struggling to make ends meet.

The woman you mentioned might be Chen Xiaoyan's mother. She’s unable to speak, already twenty-six, and has always been supported by her family, never having worked outside. Finding a suitable match has been difficult.

Those with better prospects don’t want her, and those with less favorable circumstances, her mother doesn’t want to settle for, unwilling to let her daughter suffer, so they’ve had to keep supporting her.

But keeping her at home has also been a financial burden, and her sister-in-law has been resentful of it."

Now that she suddenly has a job, whether she gets married or not, she has the ability to support herself and no longer has to put up with her sister-in-law's harsh treatment. Wouldn’t her mother be thrilled? How could she not see you as a savior?

They are thanking you in their own way."

As soon as Xia Zhiqiu brought up the recruitment list, Su Taotao knew exactly what was happening.

She had been thinking about children’s "aversion to school" all day, so her mind was too preoccupied; otherwise, with a little thought, she would have figured it out.

"No thanks are necessary. They are exchanging their labor for wages, which is an equal relationship. In fact, the factory should be grateful to them for contributing to the base’s success."

Xia Zhiqiu, who knew Su Taotao’s character well, smiled:

"Taotao, you should know what a job means to an ordinary person these days, especially to someone with a disability.

It’s something that can change a person’s entire life.

You do good without expecting anything in return.

Only a visionary like you would look out for these vulnerable groups without expecting anything in return.

Not to mention them, even I—if it weren’t for you, if you hadn’t set up the factory at the base—I would be lost and aimless, struggling to find my place in life."

What Xia Zhiqiu said was indeed the original intention behind Su Taotao setting up the factory—for herself, for everyone, for the base, and for Fu Zhengtu, achieving multiple goals at once.

"Alright, I understand. Help me figure something out. If they really want to thank me, just act normal and don’t startle me, alright?"

Xia Zhiqiu laughed heartily: "Sure, I’ll bring it up during the meeting, and I’ll make sure no one bothers you like that again."
