As long as Lao Lin agrees to go out and pay everyone the wages he owed in the past, Zeng Jun believes that it won't be a problem to reunite the construction team with Lao Lin's appeal.
After solving the personnel problem, Zeng Jun was in the mood to eat. As for other problems that needed to be solved, such as building materials suppliers, sand and soil, etc., they could wait until Lao Lin went to work and then slowly start solving them. Lao Lin was an expert in this area, so he shouldn't
Disaster.
With his worries solved, he no longer had to hide around. Lao Lin also had a great appetite. The two of them ate the simple three dishes and one soup enthusiastically. In the end, nnd didn't have enough to eat. Mainly because Lao Lin had such a good appetite.
I ate four bowls of rice in one go...
After eating, Lao Lin took out his wallet from his coat pocket to pay the bill, "I'll do it." Zeng Jun stretched out his hand to block Lao Lin's hand holding the wallet.
"How can this be possible? You have solved a big problem for me. Brother, shouldn't I treat you to a meal? It doesn't make sense based on emotion and reason." Lao Lin firmly refused.
"Come on, we will all work in the same unit from now on. If you want to treat me to dinner, are you afraid that you won't have the chance? If I guess correctly, you got the money after selling your sister-in-law's jewelry? If you do this, ask me to get it later
Why do you have the nerve to meet your sister-in-law?" Zeng Jun's words made Lao Lin blush.
In the end, Zeng Jun paid the bill, and then drove Lao Lin to the pawn shop to redeem the necklace he had just pawned. Zeng Jun originally planned to drive Lao Lin home, but was rejected. It was probably because of the environment where he lived now.
Too bad, I don’t want Zeng Jun to see it.
Zeng Jun understood the importance of face for a man, so he did not insist on it. After dropping Lao Lin off at the intersection, he went to the bank to make an appointment to withdraw money in two days. It was already three o'clock when he returned to the company.
As soon as she returned to the office and sat down, the human resources assistant knocked on the door with a pretty young girl and introduced her: "Mr. Zeng, this is the secretary who came for the interview today. Sister Cai has already interviewed her. Take a look and see if you are satisfied."
If so, Sister Cai asked her to stay."
"Hello, Mr. Zeng, my name is Qian Xiaoling. I hope you can give me a chance to stay. I will definitely use practical actions to prove my value in the company." mm introduced herself with a professional smile.
.
Zeng Jun looked at the other person and found that the man named Qian Xiaolin should be about the same age as him, and he should have just graduated from school. Although his appearance was not as bad as Bing Lan and Meng Dieying, who brought disaster to the country and the people, he was still quite energetic.
Zeng Jun's first impression of Qian Xiaoling was quite good because he spoke generously and appropriately. He hired a secretary to help with some company affairs. As long as he didn't feel nauseated, he didn't have to look for someone who was too beautiful.
It’s not used for anything else. It’s troublesome to find someone who is too beautiful to dress up and not interested in working. He nodded and said to the human resources assistant: “Sister Bai, please take her down to go through the formalities. I have something else to ask Zhang.
General report, I won’t accompany you down.”
"You're busy." After the HR assistant said, he took his sister out and gently closed the office door.
Zeng Jun immediately gave Zhang Yang a brief report on the results of the errands he had just gone out for via the internal phone.
"I have heard of Lin Defu. He has a good character and a good way of managing the engineering team. He has never had any quality problems in the projects he has handled. It's up to you. By the way, if he needs help from the company to solve his personal problems,
If so, ask him to write a report after completing the on-boarding procedures, and we will try our best to help him wherever we can without violating the company's principles," Zhang Yang said.
"Okay, then I will inform him to come to the company for an interview another day."
After a while, Qian Xiaoling came up after completing the entry procedures, made a cup of tea for Zeng Jun, and then asked: "Mr. Zeng, I can start working now. Is there anything you want me to do?"
Zeng Jun waved his hand: "The company has just been established today, and there is nothing going on yet. Please familiarize yourself with the company's situation. I will come back to you if anything happens later."
I stayed bored for two hours until I got off work at five o'clock, and drove in the direction of Sanyuanli. It is winter now, and it gets dark relatively early. According to the traffic conditions in Guangzhou, I estimate that I will arrive at Sanyuanli by the time I get there. It's time for Uncle Li and the others to call it a day.
There is a dark and damp basement with an area of less than ten square meters. Washbasins and bucket heads are piled on the floor. Mats and old bedding are tied into bundles in the corner. A folded table is leaning against the kitchen door. There is no bed. There's not enough room for that many beds, because this place has to sleep six people at night.
Zeng Jun followed Uncle Li with a large bag of fruit. He wanted to go in but couldn't find a suitable place to stay. Everyone said that the environment in the work shed was bad. The environment here was more than ten times worse than that in the work shed.
It seemed like there was something stuck in his throat that he couldn't spit out or swallow, and tears welled up in his eyes. Zeng Jun put the fruit by the door, leaned outside and said with a choked voice: "Uncle Li, if you do this for a long time, you will get rheumatism."
Uncle Li smiled, the wrinkles on his face unfurled, and said: "My old arms and legs are used to suffering in the past, but my body and bones are not so valuable. It doesn't matter. The household expenses are high, and those who are away from home can save as much as they can." Try to save as much as possible.”
"Are you all hungry? Let's go find a place to eat outside first." Zeng Jun knew that he couldn't persuade them. Who wouldn't want to live a better life unless he had to? He made too little money, and the rent outside was now expensive.
"Okay, eat, eat." Uncle Li smiled and walked out the door.
"Haha, I haven't drank for a long time. I have to drink two glasses of it today. I heard from Brother Li that Xiaojun is working in a big company now, and his salary should be quite high. Today, we will let you spend a lot of money. You Boy, don’t brag until you can’t get any money to pay for the drinks.” Uncle Xing said with a hearty laugh.
The seven of them found a relatively clean place to sit down at a street food stall. It wasn't that Zeng Jun was reluctant to spend money to treat them to a restaurant. For these poor parents, the more upscale the place, the more they If you are not used to it, then everyone will not be able to eat well after spending money. They will go home and secretly cook noodles, which is not as comfortable as sitting at a food stall.
Stir-fried kidneys, braised pork intestines, braised pork knuckles... Zeng Jun ordered fifteen or six dishes in one go, all of which were heavy and oily hard vegetables. Until Uncle Li, Uncle Xing and the others panicked and grabbed the greasy menu. Willing to give up only in the past.
The wine was Yanghe Daqu, which cost ten yuan a bottle. Originally, the six uncles wanted Xifeng wine, which cost four yuan a bottle. Zeng Jun refused and replaced it with Yanghe Daqu, which cost ten yuan a bottle. , several old faces laughed, and they all said that thanks to the little Junzi, this time they had a round of foreign food.
While eating, Zeng Jun revealed the news that he was going to ask Lao Lin to pull up the engineering team again. The old uncles were naturally full of joy. Now they can only do odd jobs around Baiyun District for three days. After two days of fishing and drying nets, it was a very unsatisfactory life. If Zeng Jun's plan could succeed, among other things, he would at least have a stable place to live, and he would no longer have to suffer in a small basement.
People were in high spirits. Several old brothers were drinking and chatting, looking forward to everyone's happy life after Zeng Jun's engineering team was re-established. Unknowingly, everyone had drank a bottle of Yanghe Daqu and was a little drunk.
Tipsy.
Zeng Jun paid the bill late at night, and several old brothers supported each other and walked back humming "The Tracker's Love". Zeng Jun looked at him from behind with some sore eyes, and followed him unconsciously.
Back in the narrow basement, Zeng Jun took the initiative to carry the thermos bottle to the boiling water heater outside. He spent 10 cents a bottle to get boiled water and came back. He mixed some cold water and washed the faces of some old men, and silently took out his wallet.
All the cash was placed on the simple small table. "Lao Lin asked me to bring this here. The money is not enough. He said that the rest will be paid back to everyone after receiving wages from Youth Real Estate."
Zeng Jun couldn't lie, and people could see through his little tricks at a glance, but none of the six people told him. Uncle Li lit up a low-quality cigarette and took a puff, exhaling white smoke, with an old face full of vicissitudes of life.
Hidden behind the smoke, he sighed and said, "Thank you Lao Lin for us later. He is also having a hard time these days. Also, this period of recession is bad. I heard that many houses cannot be sold and many people can't find a job."
Now that you're back, you have to build up the engineering team again. After you finish the work and the boss settles your wages, I'll go home and bring the news back for you."
Uncle Xing said with concern: "I heard people say that Youth Real Estate is a conscientious company that specializes in building houses for the poor in the city. I hope there will be no non-payment of wages in the future. This time it was Xiaojun who took the lead."
Team, don’t end up cheating Xiaojun and causing the villagers to chase him everywhere for wages.”
…
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when I came out of the basement of the snail's house in Sanyuanli and drove back to the villa. Binglan, Mengdieyou, and Tongyang had not entered the game. When they saw Zeng Jun's car driving into the yard, the three of them were all
Leaning against the door and looking.
"Why did you come back so late? Did something happen?" Binglan noticed that Zeng Jun was in a low mood and hurriedly asked with concern.
"Binglan, do you think I am a particularly badass?" Zeng Jun's first question frightened the three beauties.
"What's wrong? Is your work not going as you like? If you're too stressed, don't go tomorrow." Bing Lan was worried.
"Six of them are crowded into a dark and damp basement of less than ten square meters. In such a harsh environment, they sleep on the floor at night and work hard during the day. But I live in such a big house and do nothing but play games every day.
No need to do it, I..." Zeng Jun started to cry as he spoke.
"Did you meet your former colleagues today?" Mengdieyou and Tongyang were confused, and only Binglan seemed to understand something.
"You don't have to be sad. Although I don't know the people in that group, I also know that giving them money directly would be a slap in the face and they won't accept it. I have already heard from Linglong about your situation in Youth Real Estate.
Aren't we trying to solve their difficulties now?" Bing Lan comforted her softly.
Zeng Jun raised his head, "I'm always worried that I can do too little for them."
"No, you have done a lot more than those who are supposed to do it but only talk about it but actually do nothing."
