On a summer night, the cool breeze was blowing. Under the pergola at the entrance of Shiwei Tianmen, groups of men and women were chattering. A few of them looked like fans, talking about the French team, the latest champions of the European Cup. They also mentioned Zidane.
There were boys and girls who seemed to be staying in school, including some from Nanhai University, who were talking about the upcoming merger of Nanhai Medical University and Nanhai University. Others seemed to be drunk, and they were teasing each other over the wine.
Liu Gen and Chen Hao, after eating, sat under the pergola and talked about the company. When they mentioned that they still needed to recruit people, Chen Hao mentioned Sweet Potato Brother Zhou Yongheng.
"Brother Gen, do you still remember my fellow Hongshu brother?" Chen Hao asked. He is a classmate of Qiuye High School. Brother Hongshu is a fellow from Qiuye, and of course he is also his fellow villager.
"Remember, what's wrong?" Liu Gen asked casually.
"I think he is a good person. If I can learn how to bake buns from Hao Qiang, I should be able to get started quickly. When this store first opened, didn't I often help Hao Qiang?"
"I don't know where he is."
"He sells roasted sweet potatoes on the snack street in our school. I see him often and asked him if he would like to come to Shiweitian, but he seems to have concerns." Chen Hao replied.
"Are you worried...what are you worried about?" Liu Gen asked puzzledly.
"He said he would cause trouble for us if he came back here."
"That's all in the past. Besides, if he wants, he can go to work in the branch." Of course, Liu Gen will not forget the unpleasant incident he had with the school's logistics and security office because of Brother Hongshu.
"How about we go over and talk to him now." Chen Hao suggested.
Liu Gen understands why Chen Hao is so anxious. Now he has opened a branch. The steamed bun master trained by Hao Qiang is not as skilled as Hao Qiang. The buns in the branch are not enough and have to be transported from here. Chen Hao hopes
Train a few steamed bun masters like Hao Qiang as soon as possible so that they can also take turns.
"Okay, you and I will go find Brother Hongshu." Liu Gen stood up.
Since Sweet Potato Brother left Daxue Road and went to Nanhai University Snack Street, the business has been better. However, during the summer vacation, there are fewer students buying roasted sweet potatoes. Moreover, it is summer, and you can’t stand eating hot roasted sweet potatoes. It can be said that this season
, is the off-season for his business.
When Liu Gen and Chen Hao found Brother Hongshu, he was shouting and soliciting passers-by.
"Brother Gen, I haven't seen you for a long time." Brother Sweet Potato saw Liu Gen, smiled, and asked Liu Gen to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
Liu Gen usually didn't eat late-night snacks at night, but he didn't refuse Brother Sweet Potato's enthusiasm. He took the roasted sweet potato, which was not hot but warm. He broke it open and handed half of it to Chen Hao. He took a bite and said, "This is getting better and better."
, how about, the business here is better than that on Daxue Road?"
"Haha...it's okay. It's hot during this time and it's a holiday, so few people eat roasted sweet potatoes." Brother Sweet Potato replied cheerfully.
"I'm not going to beat around the bush with you." Liu Gen said, "That's right. Food is our top priority and we have opened a branch. Currently, there is a shortage of manpower for baking buns. Chen Hao and you are fellow villagers, so we can be considered old friends.
, if you are willing, come to our company."
When Brother Hongshu heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head in refusal: "Brother Gen, Brother Hao, I appreciate your kindness. To be honest, I really want to follow you, but I..." It seemed that there was something unspeakable and he didn't say anything further.
.
"If you have any difficulties, just say it." Liu Gen saw that Brother Hongshu seemed to have something that was hard to say.
Chen Hao thought that Brother Sweet Potato was worried about the low salary and not having the freedom to sell roasted sweet potatoes, so he interjected: "As for the monthly salary, I won't treat you badly. At present, in our company, the basic salary plus commission is the minimum one month.
You can earn more than a thousand, and the company is also planning to buy insurance and set up housing provident funds and other benefits for employees, as well as rotating vacations..."
Before Chen Hao could finish speaking, Brother Hongshu interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Brother Hao, I understand. Brother Gen and you will not treat me badly, but I really can't go to work in Shiweitian. That will bring you trouble."
.”
"What trouble?" Liu Gen asked immediately: "Are you talking about the trouble the school caused you last time? You don't have to worry about that. You go to work at the branch."
"But if I become an employee of Shiweitian, no matter where I work, as long as that bastard Zhang Qiang is still the leader of the school, and Brother Gen, you are still studying in school, he will continue to cause trouble for you, and even take advantage of his power.
, ask the school logistics office to take back the shop you rented!" Brother Hongshu said angrily.
Liu Gen was surprised and asked: "You...have any issues with Zhang Qiang?"
"Alas..." Brother Hongshu shook his head and sighed: "I graduated from high school last year and applied for the School of Pharmacy of Nanhai Medical University. My score far exceeded the admission line. I knew I would be admitted. I waited and waited, but other students
, I received the admission notice from the university I was admitted to, but I never waited... I applied for several universities, thinking that I would definitely receive the admission notice from one of the universities, but I kept waiting and waiting.
The notice I was looking forward to didn’t come... I became anxious and started to inquire at the city admissions office. They also thought that based on my score, it was impossible not to be admitted, so they asked me to go to the provincial admissions office to check... From then on, I walked out of the
In my hometown, I started the difficult journey of checking whether I was admitted."
At this point, a man and a woman came to buy roasted sweet potatoes. Zhou Yongheng stopped talking and was busy with business.
Liu Gen suddenly thought of Jia Hekai's misfortune, and it happened again to this fellow of the same age who sold roasted sweet potatoes.
"What happened next?" After the two people buying roasted sweet potatoes left, Chen Hao seemed to want to know what happened next as soon as possible.
"I went to the admissions office in the provincial capital to check and found out that I was admitted to Nanhai Medical University for the major I applied for, so other universities lost my place. They said it was possible that the admission notice was lost and they wanted me
I asked the school admissions office, so I called the school according to the phone number given by the provincial admissions office. The person who answered the phone was unclear and asked me to call another number and directly ask Director Zhang, who is in charge of admissions... Gouri's surname
That bastard Zhang insisted on the phone that he had never admitted a Hunan candidate named Zhou Yongheng... I heard from the phone that my surname was Zhang. After hearing my name, he rejected me without even checking, thinking that there must be something here.
I had a question, so I decided to come to Nanhai and go to the school in person to ask questions..."
When Zhou Yongheng said this, his eyes filled with tears, and he choked with sobs and said: "My mother became so angry that she became seriously ill and passed away because of what happened to me. I was not able to see my mother for the last time. Even for my mother who died,
I am determined to get to the bottom of my college entrance examination..."
"This is too dark! There must be something wrong with the person named Zhang!" Chen Hao said through gritted teeth.
"After you arrived in Nanhai, you found Zhang Qiang, right?" Liu Gen asked with a solemn expression.
Brother Hongshu nodded and replied: "Yes, after I went to Nanhai, I went straight to the school and found out that the bastard named Zhang was the director of students and was responsible for the enrollment work in our province, but he insisted that he had never been admitted.
I passed the candidates from Hunan and showed me the list of freshmen admitted to the School of Pharmacy. They said that the files of these admitted people have been filed with the Ministry of Education and can stand the test of history and legal verification. They are absolutely
It’s not wrong, just tell me, if you are not convinced, you can go to the Ministry of Education to check..."
"Bullshit historical examination and legal verification! History and law are not all written by these idiots! They say it's fair, but we ordinary people dare to say it's evil!" Chen Hao shouted excitedly.
Liu Gen poked Chen Hao in the arm to tell him to stop talking nonsense.
Liu Gen now finally understood who Li Tianyi's replacement was. It was supposed to be Zhou Yongheng who was studying in pharmacy school, but it turned out to be Li Tianyi.
"Doesn't your provincial admissions office have files?" Liu Gen asked: "As long as there is evidence to prove that you were admitted to our school's pharmacy school, you can report that someone has manipulated you."
"Alas..." Brother Hongshu sighed again: "I thought so too, but when I returned to the province and prepared to ask for the file from the Provincial Admissions Office as evidence to report against Nanhai Medical University, the people from the Provincial Admissions Office
His attitude changed 180 degrees, and he said that was not the case at all, and pulled out the admission file for me to check, but I couldn’t find the part about me being admitted to the school.”
"Changed! I must have done something to modify your file!" Chen Hao said.
"I also know that this is the case, but I don't have any evidence. I live in a mountainous area and there is no one who can help me talk. Who believes what I say!" Brother Hongshu shed tears. He thought about the past year.
On the difficult road of rights protection, she burst into tears: "For my cause, my family sold valuable things, and now my mother is gone. At home, only my old father and my younger brother who are in middle school depend on each other. The family is destitute, but I am unwilling to accept it and decided to stay in Nanhai.
While earning money for my brother to go to school, I can continue to investigate my affairs... I don't know any other crafts. In my hometown, I often bake sweet potatoes when I'm hungry, so I started a roasted sweet potato business... As long as I have time,
I would come to school and secretly follow that bastard Zhang Qiang, trying to catch him and punish him... But every time he went outside the school, he would take a car, and I couldn't follow him with my legs... Once,
I met Qiu Ye on the busiest avenue, and it was she who reminded me to sell roasted sweet potatoes on Daxue Road... I thought so, so that I could see the bastard Zhang Qiang at any time... But Zhang Qiang was promoted.
, I was kicked out by the university security office. It was probably this bastard who asked the people from the security office to do it, and it almost caused trouble for Brother Gen, you and Shi Weitian..."
After listening to Brother Hongshu's brief account of his experience, Liu Gen decided to intervene in the matter: "Brother Hongshu, you will go to work in Shiweitian tomorrow. I want to see what Zhang Qiang can do to me! I will do your thing for you.
Seek justice!"
"Yes, fellow, listen to Brother Gen! You can come to work in our company with confidence! I believe Brother Gen can get justice for you!" Chen Hao patted Zhou Yongheng on the shoulder and said.
"But..." Brother Hongshu was still worried that he would implicate Liu Gen.
"Don't worry, food and I are inseparable, everything will be fine! Just do as I say, and you go to our branch first." Liu Gen didn't let Brother Hongshu refuse anymore and decided to help him.
Zhou Yongheng burst into tears: "Thank you, Brother Gen... I will do my best. Give me a few days, okay? After I transfer the stove, I will go find Brother Gen and Brother Hao."
"You are welcome to join Shiweitian at any time." Liu Gen finally said with a smile on his face.
