Huapai cigarettes are a cigarette brand that has suddenly emerged after the apocalypse. Materials are scarce and prices have risen. Ordinary people cannot even afford food, let alone other things. Huapai cigarettes are famous for their low price and sufficient supply. Although the taste is not as good as the old cigarettes, they are

With its price of two yuan per pack, it quickly opened up the market.

The same thing happened to Zeng Rui one night more than ten years ago.

That night, Zeng Rui walked out of a black Internet cafe alone. On his way home, in such an alley, he was tried to buy and sell half a pack of cigarettes by a gangster.

But Zeng Rui, a kid who had just entered junior high school, really couldn't come up with any money. He only had three to five yuan in his pocket, and the gangsters didn't even look at him. In the end, he cursed and tugged Zeng Rui's ears and let him go.

went.

Although Zeng Rui did not suffer any actual physical harm, it left a certain shadow in his heart. For a long time, he did not dare to go out to surf the Internet at night, nor did he dare to walk through dark alleys.

It is said that the gangster who robbed students in the alleys was later arrested by the police, but because he was only forced to buy and sell, he was sentenced to only half a year. This shows that the cost of crime is low.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, the scene would reappear.

Seeing that Zeng Rui was in a daze, he didn't pay attention to him. Because he felt that he was not taken seriously, the robber was a little angry.

He stabbed Zeng Rui's jacket a little with the knife that was in his hand, and threatened: "Boy, if you are still a master who is willing to give up his life rather than his wealth, then you may suffer a little today."

When Zeng Rui came back to his senses and saw that the tip of the knife had cut through his jacket, he slapped the robber on the head with his backhand so hard that the robber's eyes were filled with stars. Before the robber could react, Zeng Rui

Rui Fei kicked him over and knocked him to the ground.

She stepped on his right hand holding the knife with one foot, glanced at the robber and said, "Who are you trying to scare with a broken knife?"

The robber was also a very interesting person. When he realized that he was no match for him, he immediately said in a flattering manner: "Brother, I am too blind to see Taishan. Please forgive me and let me go. I really have no choice.

, if we can’t get enough food, we will starve to death!”

At the end of the story, I even cried and begged, the emotion was so sincere that it made me cry.

Zeng Rui leaned over and said softly: "Actually, if you hadn't taken this pack of cigarettes, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to you today. But you said this is the end of the world, are you sick of still doing this?"

Seeing that Zeng Rui was not too serious and his attitude was not aggressive, the robber seemed to have found a glimmer of hope for survival and kept kowtowing to beg Zeng Rui to let him go.

"Okay, I won't embarrass you. If you smoke this pack of cigarettes, I'll let you go. Isn't this too much to ask?"

Zeng Rui put forward such an idea in a wicked way, which could be regarded as untying the knot in his mind when he was young.

The robber nodded naturally, took out the lighter from his pocket shakily, and started to smoke one after another.

Zeng Rui saw that when he smoked the third stick, a feeling of sleepiness swept through his heart, so he yawned and said, "I'll wait for you outside. When will you finish smoking?"

The robber coughed and agreed, and Zeng Rui walked out of the alley and strode back to the hotel and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, he made a special trip to the dark alley that day. After a rough count, not to mention that the robber was very trustworthy, there were really about twenty cigarette butts on the ground.

Three days passed by in a flash, and Zeng Rui arrived at the place agreed upon with Brother Huang. Brother Huang took the initiative to say hello to Zeng Rui, and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and gave it to Zeng Rui.

Needless to say, the reason why Brother Huang is so enthusiastic is because of the small stack of banknotes.

"Brother, Brother Huang does what he says. Here! This is your pass, and this is your employment notice."

Brother Huang took out two pieces of materials from his shoulder canvas bag and handed them to Zeng Rui.

Zeng Rui put the document into his bag without even looking at it.

He bared his teeth cheerfully: "Then thank you, Brother Huang!"

Brother Huang patted Zeng Rui on the shoulder and said affectionately: "Brother, Huaxin is the best factory in Qicheng. After you go there, you can have a good time. You never know when I will come to Qicheng and ask for your help."

Woolen cloth."

"As long as Brother Huang comes, I will entertain you anytime." Zeng Rui agreed.

In the afternoon of that day, Zeng Rui packed up his belongings and entered the Seven Cities with his pass in hand.

"Wu Ye?"

In a clean and tidy office, a middle-aged man wearing a simple suit and meticulously combed hair asked Zeng Rui.

"Yes, Chief Qi." Zeng Rui stood in the office of Huaxin Machinery Factory employee Lao Ke and reported with the employment notice.

When Zeng Rui found the middleman Huang Ge, he had shaved off his stubble and gave a false name to prevent being found out by Boss Zha behind Fatty Wang. His infiltration into the Seven Cities can be considered a deep dive.

We are behind enemy lines. If someone is not careful and does not understand, he will be shattered to pieces.

"Do you have any relevant work experience?" Section Chief Qi asked as usual.

"A little bit, I have passed the welding, fitter, riveter, forklift, paint, and welder certificate." Zeng Rui replied without thinking.

Section Chief Qi chuckled: "Xiao Wu, you said it doesn't matter which certificates you have passed these days, right? The main thing is do you know how to do it?"

"As long as I pass the exam, I will." Zeng Rui replied loudly.

"Okay! That can be regarded as an all-round talent. Just sit down for a while and drink some tea. I will take care of your employment right away."

Obviously, Section Chief Qi was very satisfied with Zeng Rui's answer, and also had a good impression of Zeng Rui, a young man.

Although Zeng Rui likes to brag to his acquaintances, he really didn't brag about this. When he first started working, he worked in a large machinery factory like Huaxin. Because the grassroots leaders appreciated him, he did pass a lot of tests.

Certificate, I didn’t expect it would be useful now.

In fact, Zeng Rui was a little flattered, because when he was working, Zeng Rui had been in class for several years and had never spoken a few words to a leader at the level of Section Chief Qi. Most of the leading cadres at the section level or above he met were in departments.

It was the first time I saw someone like Section Chief Qi who was so polite and took me seriously.

About half an hour later, a man in his thirties wearing dirty denim overalls covered in oil stains knocked on the door and walked in.

"Come on, Xiao Wang, here's a new addition to your team, Wu Ye Xiao Wu." Seeing the man come in, Section Chief Qi said hello to him.

"Introducing Wang Xi, the leader of the assembly team of the third workshop of Huaxin Machinery Factory." Section Chief Qi casually introduced to Zeng Rui.

Zeng Rui immediately understood and reached out his hand and said: "Hello, Group Wang, Xiao Wu is reporting to you."

Wang Xi held Zeng Rui's hand and said enthusiastically: "When you come, you will become one of your own family."

He asked Section Chief Qi again: "Qi Ke, if nothing happens, I will take Xiao Wu back?"

"Okay, you can familiarize him with him first, and you can decide when to work alone." Section Chief Qi replied simply.

Wang Xi had just led Zeng Rui out of the office building. When the two of them were standing on a deserted path, Zeng Rui took out a piece of Furong Wang from his bag and stuffed it into the tool bag Wang Xi was carrying.

Wang Xi quickly pushed the cigarette out and said: "Since we are here, we are all brothers. We are all working people, so there is no need to deal with this."

"Wang Group, you have already said that we are all brothers. Then I bring you a few packs of cigarettes for me to smoke. You still have to refuse. Don't you think that I am not treating you as one of your own? Is this a bit too much?

Bar?"

Zeng Rui is not the first day to go to work, especially after he has been working hard for several years in a place that is barely considered within the system. He doesn't understand other things, but these small details matter to him.

It is indeed Menqing.

The old fritter's way of dealing with things, coupled with the semi-rogue words, made Wang Xi not be polite anymore, so he had to put the cigarette in his bag.

The two of them rushed to the workshop. While Wang Xi introduced some basic information about the machinery factory to Zeng Rui, he spent more time talking to Zeng Rui about some precautions for the work of the assembly team in the third workshop.

Zeng Rui smiled bitterly in his heart, but on the surface he could only respond cheerfully.

Brother Huang still did something for himself after taking the money, but his good intentions did not result in a very good thing. Zeng Rui's original intention to spend an extra 30,000 yuan was to get a reasonable identity for himself, and to move around Qicheng faster.

Able to stand firm.

As for the purpose of giving Brother Huang the small stack of money, I hope that Brother Huang can be willing to find an easier job so that he can have more time to do what he wants to do.

Who knew that Brother Huang would make a mistake and find himself a top-paying job among the workers in the Seven Cities. After Wang Xi’s introduction, Zeng Rui learned that the income of workers in other major factories in the Seven Cities was about

It's about 600 yuan a month, while Huaxin Factory can get 700 to 800 yuan.

But making more money also means doing more work. Most areas of Huaxin Factory use assembly line operations, and the third workshop is no exception. It works in two shifts, with people stopping and machines working non-stop.

The day shift is from 8 am to 7 pm, the night shift is from 7 pm to 8 am, with half a day off every other week.
