The arrival of a group of beautiful girl interns did not make Liu Handong happy, but made things worse. His small temple could not accommodate so many female Bodhisattvas.
However, Huo Ying and the others didn't really mean to intern here. "Brother Dong, just give us an internship report and stamp it with your official seal." She said.
But where could Liu Handong go to find the official seal? His small factory was not even registered with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Not to mention the factory, even the Fukang car had a fake license plate.
"No problem, you can play whatever you want, leave the internship report to me." How could Liu Handong complain in front of a group of little girls and pat his chest and take care of everything.
Secretly, he sent Sun Jikai to contact a forger, and spent eighty yuan to carve an official seal, Omi Handong Automobile Repair and Maintenance Co., Ltd., with a five-pointed star in the middle, which didn't look like a fake.
The factory was open, but no business came to the door. In the next week, there was only one transaction. Zhang Aimin came to change the engine oil. Master Zhang bought cheap engine oil from the auto parts store and changed the oil himself. He just borrowed the oil from the factory.
Lift, with such a familiar relationship, you can’t charge money, and you have to provide cigarettes and tea.
Most of the time, Liu Handong and his two apprentices stared at each other and wasted their time. Only when Ma Ling came did Factory Director Liu feel better.
Ma Ling came to check the accounts as the boss's wife. The two of them sat in the small office and looked at the books. The biggest expense was the rent, which was six thousand yuan per month. If paid in advance for half a year, it was thirty-six thousand. Then there were all kinds of spare parts, which filled a warehouse.
Lubricant and tires give me a headache just looking at them.
There are still two apprentices. Although their brother-in-law said that they don’t need to pay wages or anything, Brother Dong will never work for nothing. He must pay 800 yuan a month. Calculated in this way, the net loss this month is more than 7,000 yuan.
"If we don't last a year, we will go bankrupt." Ma Ling threw the calculator away and looked up to the sky with a sigh.
"Let's wait and see." Liu Handong said.
Although the factory had no business during the day, it was packed with friends at night. People from all walks of life came. They set up a gantry array in the factory, set up a small table, bought a few cold dishes and a box of beer, and sat in the open air, drinking and bragging. If there were any good people, they could just find them.
A workshop welded a barbecue stove, bought hundreds of tricycle bars and sharpened the front ends, packed a load of charcoal, drove to the countryside to buy a whole sheep, and opened a self-service barbecue stall in the factory.
Huo Ying is also a busy girl. She brought the speakers, color TV and DVDs from home and set up an open-air KTV. After everyone had eaten and drank, they shouted songs with microphones. Fortunately, the residents of Tiezha Street were already immune to the noise, so they didn't
People complained about them, but of course no one dared to take care of them. The people Liu Handong interacted with were either big brothers in society or gangsters.
In order to supply cold beer to everyone, Liu Handong spent more than a thousand yuan to buy a second-hand freezer at the flea market and put it in the factory to store ice cream, beer and drinks. He could also store uneaten mutton. The equipment for eating, drinking and having fun in the factory was getting better and better.
, more people came, and Kan Wanlin joked that he might as well not open a factory, but instead open a barbecue stall, and he would definitely make a lot of money every day.
Liu Handong felt that his face was burning. The auto repair shop was converted into a barbecue stall, and the news was spread without making people laugh. However, the reality forced people to compromise. If they continued to open, they would lose all their underwear.
That night, the friends gathered at the auto repair shop again, drank, ate meat, and sang songs, and had a great time. Just as Ma Ling and Liu Handong sang a song about Hiroshima Love, suddenly a few black figures walked in, and the music
The sound stopped suddenly, and everyone was stunned.
"Mom, why are you here?" Ma Ling sternly hid the microphone behind her back.
"You didn't go home after get off work, and you came here to fool around. Go home with your mother quickly!" Wang Yulan frowned, followed by several women, all of whom were familiar with each other in the community.
Ma Ling was very embarrassed: "Mom, they are all my friends."
"What kind of friends? They are a bunch of shady local hooligans. What's the point of hanging out with them?" Wang Yulan spat.
Kan Wanlin was unhappy: "Auntie, what you said is wrong. We are all serious people..."
Before she could finish her words, Wang Yulan spat in her face: "Bah! You look like a bear and you are still a serious person. You are the only one who, during the severe crackdown in the 1980s, was the first one to knock the sand jar, and
You guys are all from the Northwest Labor Camp! Let me tell you the truth, the police station has been paying attention to you for a long time!"
Everyone was scolded so badly that they were speechless. Wang Yulan used to be a bus conductor and had a loud and powerful voice. She would not scold someone again for half an hour. Even the experienced shrews of the city were no match for her, let alone
It's a bunch of young people.
Ma Ling was so angry that she was trembling all over. She reached out to pull her mother to stop scolding her, but Wang Yulan had just entered the state and was far from having fun. How could she easily withdraw her troops? The more she scolded, the more excited she became, and her high-pitched voice attracted all the people cooling off on Tiezha Street.
Attracted, he waved his fan and pointed, enjoying the free ethics drama.
Seeing that it was nothing, Liu Handong stepped forward to persuade Ma Ling: "Go back with your mother."
Wang Yulan saw the culprit who seduced her daughter and immediately raised her voice an octave: "Liu! You are a murderer! You are coaxing my daughter! I am not done with you. Do you think I don't know you? You were fired from the Public Security Bureau."
You are a scum, you are pretending to be an entrepreneur, you are a broke factory that has been out of business for ten and a half months, you are a poor and scumbag, you will never even think about entering my house for the rest of your life!"
Ma Ling's face was red and bleeding, but Liu Handong's heart was bleeding.
"Ma Ling, go back! Don't come here again!" Wang Yulan scolded for a while, feeling proud that it was almost time to withdraw her troops.
"I won't go back!" Ma Ling also got angry.
"Okay, you're crazy. What's good about him? He wants money but no money. He wants character but no character. He fights all day long and has been to the detention center several times. He is just a scum of society!" Wang Yulan pointed at Liu Handong!
He cursed with his nose, and seeing that his daughter was unmoved, he began to issue an ultimatum.
"Ma Ling, mom is warning you one last time, go home immediately or never go home again!"
Ma Ling remained unmoved.
Wang Yulan was frustrated and very angry. She launched a big move on the spot, walked around and ran towards the switch: "Don't stop me, I will die in front of them!"
The ladies hurriedly stepped forward and held Wang Yulan down by holding her arms and legs.
Wang Yulan sat down on the ground, clapped her thighs and started singing. The main theme was how outstanding her daughter was, how many young talents were pursuing her, how despicable and shameless Liu Handong was, how the toad wanted to eat swan meat, etc. Everyone listened with great interest.
, Liu Handong and Ma Ling were ashamed.
Suddenly a siren sounded, and Ma Guoqing and two policemen separated from the crowd and came in. Seeing that it was his wife who was cursing, he quickly stepped forward to persuade her. Unexpectedly, when Wang Yulan saw her husband coming, she became more confident and her voice shook the sky.
It was Ma Guoqing who had experience. He stepped forward and said to Ma Ling: "Go home quickly and ask Liu Handong to go out for a while, otherwise your mother will scold him all night long."
Ma Ling left angrily first, Liu Handong also hid out, and his fair-weather friends also hurriedly evacuated. Under the persuasion of the cooperating police, the spectators gradually dispersed. Without the audience, Wang Yulan's desire to perform was not as strong.
When you are strong, stand up and pat your butt, and return the favor in victory.
Ten minutes later, Liu Handong came back. The factory was empty. The cups and plates on the small table were in a mess. The charcoal fire in the oven had turned to ashes. Under the dim light, there were peanut and edamame shells, empty wine bottles, cigarette butts, and meat bones all over the floor.
.
He took a broom and cleaned the garbage. Suddenly his cell phone rang. It was his mother.
"Xiaodong, how is the efficiency of the factory?"
"Not bad..." Liu Handong couldn't continue after half a sentence.
"If you need to add equipment, just add it. If you need money, just tell mom. Mom still has a deposit of 20,000 yuan, which will be due next month."
"I know mom, I'm not short of money."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Handong sat blankly for a long time and smoked a cigarette. He desperately wanted to find someone to talk to, but at this moment, the only things that accompanied him were the empty yard and the cold machines.
There was a bottle of beer in the freezer. Liu Handong carried the bottle and walked out aimlessly. It was already late at night and there was no one on the street. He unknowingly walked to the abandoned unfinished building. The moonlight was very bright tonight.
Well, he climbed up the tower crane again, walked to the end of the crane arm, sat down, looked up at the moon, and it felt very close.
After drinking up a bottle of beer, Liu Handong threw the bottle far away. The sound of shattering was particularly loud in the night. Suddenly, lights lit up in a room below. A man came out, looked at the top, and shouted: "
Don't worry about it, come down."
Seeing that Liu Handong didn't respond, he shouted again: "Brother, you come down first. If you have any difficulties, talk about it slowly. There is nothing that you can't overcome."
Well, he was thought to have committed suicide. Liu Handong climbed down, and the man came up to him and said, "You scared me to death."
Liu Handong said: "I just drink some wine up there. It's windy and cool up there, so there's no other meaning."
The man was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked Liu Handong up and down and said, "Brother, you can't hide it from me. You are hiding something in your heart. Just talk to me and it will make you feel better."
Liu Handong also looked at him: "Who are you?"
"My surname is Qi, and I'm here to look after the construction site," the man introduced himself.
Although it is an abandoned and unfinished building, there are still people left behind. Brother Qi lives in the building. There is a room separated by wooden boards and plastic sheets, and a camp bed is supported. On the table are foam lunch boxes, empty wine bottles, and cigarette boxes.
"Sit down." Brother Qi pointed to the camp bed, sat on the pony, lit a cigarette, took a bottle of beer from under the bed, bit open the cap with his teeth and handed it to Liu Handong, "Drink some."
Liu Handong took the drink and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I am getting more and more useless. If someone scolds me, I will climb up a tower and drink wine." He raised his neck and drank a few sips, clearing away his troubles one by one.
Tao Lai.
Brother Qi smoked a cigarette and listened carefully without interrupting. When Liu Handong finished speaking, he smiled and said: "It is difficult for an upright official to deal with family affairs. In fact, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. From someone else's point of view, it may not be wrong.
After all, anything that can be solved with money is not difficult. I know a buddy who suffered much worse than you. He is from my hometown. He didn't go to college and was unwilling to work in farming. He went to the city to become a construction worker.
He slowly learned skills and became a technician on a construction team, then a team leader, and later he led a team to work alone. The boom in the real estate industry allowed him to catch up, and within ten years, he was worth 100 million."
At this point he paused, sighed, and took a cigarette.
"What happened next?" Liu Handong asked.
"Later, I had too much fun and was tricked behind my back. My capital chain was broken, my debts were insolvent, and my family's wealth was gone. I was also imprisoned. When I came out, everyone betrayed me, and the saddest thing was my wife and children.
They don’t recognize him anymore.”
Brother Qi smiled bitterly: "This is not a problem. As long as the person is here, it is not considered a defeat."
Liu Handong suddenly understood: "The person you are talking about is yourself."
Brother Qi nodded: "Yes, this unfinished building is the project I developed, and it was also the last straw that broke my heart."
Liu Handong said: "I feel much better after hearing what you said."
