She was requesting nearly half a month off, but as just a team leader, she simply couldn't get it approved.
Wang Yuemei went to ask the workshop director about it again.
"Comrade Wang, you're a temporary worker, taking half a month off at once, do you still want to become official?" the workshop director said sternly.
Wang Yuemei also knew she was a temporary worker; it had been years, and she had never become an official worker.
"Director, I really need to take this leave."
Seeing that she insisted on taking the leave after so much discussion, what could the workshop director do?
"Then go ahead and take the leave, but if others become official and you find it difficult to do so, don't blame me."
The difference between temporary and official workers was significant.
Despite doing the same job, the salary they took home was not the same.
The workshop director remembered that Wang Yuemei seemed to be married, and her husband worked at an appliance store.
