As the sun set, Li Weidong, who had been busy all day, came to the tavern on his bicycle.
He has been busy with work for a while and has no time to meet with Xu Huizhen. The production of motorcycles went very smoothly today, and the first batch of motorcycles has been shipped out of the factory, so he only had an hour or two.
time
Xu Huizhen, the proprietress of the tavern, was greeting guests in the lobby at this time. When he saw Li Weidong walking in, he quickly called a waiter and said at the same time: "Xiao Liu, I have something to do now. Please help me greet this place."
The waiter Xiao Liu nodded and said: "Sister Xu, you can go ahead. You can rest assured that I am here."
Since Xu Huizhen followed Li Weidong's suggestion, she changed the previous system in the tavern
Nowadays, the monthly salary of waiters in taverns is at least 20% higher than that in other taverns.
And Xu Huizhen is not like the bosses of other taverns who yell at them. If something happens to any waiter's family, Xu Huizhen will always be the first to come forward to help, so the waiters in the tavern are all right.
Xu Huizhen admires her very much. Now she will naturally step forward to help when encountering such small things.
Besides, who in the capital doesn’t know the name of the tavern? The old wine brewed by Xu Huizhen relying on the ancestral brewing skills is now famous all over the capital. There are many people who like drinking who would rather travel more than ten miles to get it.
Come to the tavern to taste old wine
Of course, there was once a drunkard who caused trouble in a tavern. He relied on his strength to drink some more wine and smashed the chairs in the tavern.
In a situation like this, usually the tavern would directly send someone to notify the police station to take the person away, but Xu Huizhen did not do that.
He just told those who came to drink that the facilities in the tavern were damaged and needed repairs, and they would need to be closed for at least a week.
The drinkers now rely on Xu Huizhen's tavern to make a living. After a hard day's work, they can drink a glass of delicious wine every night and sleep soundly at night. Now that they heard that the tavern is going to close, the drinkers suddenly
Angry
In this day and age, people who like to drink tend to have bad tempers, and they still have a lot of strength. Those drinkers swarmed up and beat up the guy who smashed the chair in the tavern, and then threw him to the street.
Then the troublemaker was permanently banned from entering the tavern by Xu Huizhen. This was the real critical attack.
After this incident spread, everyone who came to the tavern knew that they must not make trouble here. If they make trouble, not only will they be beaten up by other drinkers, but they will never be able to drink such delicious old wine in the future.
Got it
So as the boss lady in charge, you don’t need to do anything at all. You just need to collect money according to the price on the order.
Xu Huizhen handed over the affairs of the junior supervisor to Xiao Liu, then turned around and followed Li Weidong to the second floor of Baojian.
Xu Huizhen took out the key, opened the innermost box and pulled Li Weidong in. After she closed the door, she threw herself into Li Weidong's arms.
"You damn ghost, why haven't you come to see me for so long? Have you met another little girl now and forgotten about me, a yellow-faced woman?"
Hearing this, Li Weidong said with a smile: "Xu Huizhen, what nonsense are you talking about? You are so beautiful. Even if I meet another little girl, I can't forget you. You don't know that I
Been too busy for a while.”
Although Xu Huizhen is now in her thirties, she is more beautiful than the average little girl, and she still has the unique charm of a mature woman.
Xu Huizhen also knew that the motorcycle workshop has now become the most important production workshop in the country. As the workshop director of the motorcycle workshop, Weidong must be very busy on weekdays, so he did not say anything more.
After the two chatted for a while, Xu Huizhen whispered: "Brother Wei Dong, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. I met two people when I was on duty in the tavern a while ago. One of them I know is your Siheyuan.
Liu Haidong inside, this person often likes to drink and often comes to our tavern to drink. The other person seems to be from your courtyard, but I don’t know the name.”
"The two of them seem to be planning to deal with you.
After hearing this, I wanted to go and listen closer, but both of them were very vigilant. Every time I walked up to them, they stopped talking about anything. You have to be careful.
"
Hearing Xu Huizhen's words, Li Weidong frowned
He does have some conflicts with Liu Haizhong. After all, Liu Haizhong used to be the second uncle in the compound. It was because of Li Weidong that his position as second uncle was taken away by Shazhu.
And in the factory, because Dagang Factory has implemented the vocational education method formulated by Li Weidong, masters like Liu Haizhong no longer have the good days they used to have.
No matter how you look at it, there are reasons why bangs are harming you.
But who is the other person?
According to Xu Huizhen, the other person was a small man who looked very wretched.
Li Weidong couldn't remember that there was such a person in the courtyard for a while, but he was not careless.
Li Weidong is very clear about the temperament of these beasts. Regardless of how peaceful these beasts are on the surface, once they have their thoughts twisted, they will do whatever they can to bring them out.
And now there is that old guy Yi Zhonghai watching over him.
Ever since he came out of prison, Yi Zhonghai has always wanted to be the steward of the compound again.
Li Weidong knew all these things clearly, but Yi Zhonghai's several previous actions were stopped by Li Weidong.
It would be troublesome if Yi Zhonghai took advantage of Liu Haizhong's actions to cause any trouble again.
Li Weidong knows very well that Yi Zhonghai is already a person who has committed crimes.
But after all, he has been the boss in the compound for so many years, and he is also very good at kidnapping others morally, so many residents in the compound will still stand on his side.
So Liu Weidong also decided to take some preventive measures
On the way home, Li Weidong rode his bicycle and turned to a scrap shop in the suburbs.
These days, junk shops like this one not only buy scraps but also sell them, just like a big grocery market.
The owner of the scrap shop is surnamed Zhang. Customers call him Old Man Zhang because he is relatively sincere. As for other scrap shops, Old Man Zhang is more honest and his prices are more reasonable, so his business here is very good.
Li Weidong had gone to the scrap shop to buy scrap materials several times before, so he knew Old Man Zhang. At this time, Old Man Zhang was helping the customers in the scrap shop weigh their weights.
Seeing Li Weidong coming over, Old Man Zhang said hello to him: "Comrade Weidong, please wait a moment. I'll go over and greet you when I'm done."
Li Weidong didn't pay attention, waved to him, and then found a clean place to sit down.
After a while, Old Man Zhang finished his work and walked over quickly.
He took out a large front door stick from his pocket and handed it to Li Weidong, saying sheepishly: "Brother Weidong, I'm really sorry. I've been so busy today and made you wait for such a long time."
There is a reason why Mr. Zhang has a very good attitude towards Li Weidong.
Although Li Weidong does not sell scraps, the materials he needs are very remote materials. At the beginning, Li Weidong went to the scrap point and found those materials. Those materials were not valuable to Old Man Zhang at all.
, Old Man Zhang originally planned to sell those materials to Li Weidong at the price of scraps.
Li Weidong told Mr. Zhang that these materials were not ordinary materials. If they were purchased from a supply and marketing cooperative or a specialized material store, each material would cost several yuan per pound.
So Li Weidong offered Old Man Zhang a very high price, which made Old Man Zhang feel very incredible.
Old man Zhang has been working in a scrap shop all year round and has seen all kinds of people. In his opinion, those customers who encounter such things will definitely not take the initiative to tell him the real price, and they will also pretend to suppress it.
Find out the price, and only after you have taken advantage of it will you spend the money to buy the materials.
This is the first time that Mr. Zhang has seen people like Li Weidong who take the initiative to increase prices.
Old man Zhang is not the kind of person who is greedy for money. He said that he is just a businessman.
Since the price has been stated, there is no need to change it. So Old Man Zhang insisted on giving those materials to Li Weidong at the scrap price.
Li Weidong is not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. At that time, he argued with the two old men. In the end, Liu Weidong also bought the materials for one yuan a pound.
After this incident, both of them felt that the other person was someone they could get along with, so in the following days, Li Weidong would choose Old Man Zhang's scrap shop every time he bought materials. After going back and forth, the two became friends.
At this time last year, Mr. Zhang’s son graduated from junior high school. In this year and month, although junior high school graduates are already responsible for arranging work
However, there are good and bad arrangements for work, especially the status of Old Man Zhang’s family is not very good. His family used to help landlords collect rent, and they are also hard-working people in theory, but in this era, they are rent collectors.
Old Man Zhang’s son has such a background. So when arranging work, it is naturally impossible to arrange any good work for him.
Old man Zhang's son is not afraid of hardship or low wages, but he was placed in a mountain hundreds of kilometers away from the capital.
Old Zhang's wife died early, and he and his son depended on each other for life. How could Old Man Zhang let his son stay so far away from him? And in the mountains at this age, it is very easy to be in danger.
So Mr. Zhang made up his mind at that time to ask his son to refuse the above arrangement, and then he tried to find a temporary job for his son in the capital.
In fact, this idea is not a good one. You must know that in this era, people ask for assignments, but there is only one chance. If you refuse, you are disobeying the organization's decision, and there may be stains on the file.
It will become impossible for you to find a suitable job in the future
Just when Old Man Zhang felt a dilemma, Li Weidong learned about this matter. It happened that the motorcycle workshop was expanding at that time and needed those outstanding young people.
Compared with the old oil man Li Weidong in the factory, he prefers young people who have just graduated. The reason is very simple. Those old oil men have lost their ambition after being influenced by the bad atmosphere of the steel factory. When they work every day
All I can think of is how to be lazy
However, those young people are different. They are full of energy and dream of doing something big. If they are trained, they are likely to become outstanding technical talents.
Of course, Liu Weidong did not directly give the job to Mr. Zhang’s son. He just asked him to attend the interview in the motorcycle workshop of the steel rolling mill in accordance with the regulations. Only if he passed the interview could he enter the factory to work.
But this is already very rare for people with the background of Old Man Zhang’s son. You must know that the motorcycle workshop of the Steel Steel Factory is a national key workshop with very high wages and very high requirements for workers.
People with a background like Old Man Zhang’s son would generally not be considered
Old Man Zhang’s son is indeed an outstanding young man. He participated in the interview under Li Weidong’s introduction and quickly passed the interview with excellent results.
In the following period, he performed very well, and soon became a regular worker. Last month, he received more than 50 yuan in salary alone.
So when old man Zhang sees Li Weidong now, it’s like seeing his benefactor.
Old man Zhang looked at Li Weidong with a smile and said: "Director Li, are you going to buy those materials again when you come here today? I'm really a little embarrassed today. I haven't collected all the materials yet. Don't worry, I'll wait until I collect them all.
, I will send it to your motorcycle workshop.
"
Li Weidong smoked a cigarette and laughed: "Old uncle, you misunderstood. I didn't come here to buy those materials today. I just wanted to buy you some mouse traps."
As soon as these words came out, Old Man Zhang was a little confused.
You must know that a large number of rats were eradicated in Beijing in the past few years, so many mouse traps were produced.
But as time went by, the mice in the capital quickly disappeared, and those mouse traps became useless. Residents sold the mouse traps to scrap shops one after another.
Old man Zhang bought a lot of mousetraps at a very low price. He originally planned to make a lot of money from the mousetraps, but what he didn't expect was that these mice and ducks couldn't be sold at all.
You must know that although there is some iron on the mousetrap, it is very small.
If you dismantle the rats and ducks and sell them for scrap metal, you will lose money. Old man Zhang simply put the mouse traps in the warehouse
"Director Li, are there any mice in your house? Let me tell you, mouse traps are not easy to use. Rats are too smart. As long as they turn around when they see the mouse trap, they will run away. I will teach you a way, that is
If you go to buy rat poison, just mix it with white flour steamed buns, and the rats will definitely be fooled.
By then, no matter how many rats there are, they will be eliminated.”
Old man Zhang feels that if he sells the mousetrap to Li Weidong now, it will be equivalent to spending unconscionable money.
