Chapter 974 Things are different and people are different (8000/10,000)
"Shou Zhi, is your wife here? If so, ask her to come over for dinner tonight." Cao Shujie said to his cousin.
Wang Shouzhi nodded and said, "I'll give her a call and ask her to come over after get off work."
"My sister-in-law has gone to work? Didn't I say that if she wants to go to work, she can come to our company?" Cao Shujie brought up the old story again.
Wang Shouzhi waved his hand: "Brother, she can't do logistics, and it's useless to run business. She has to go to the supermarket to work as a cashier. She said that job is simple and doesn't have to worry. At most, it counts."
Cao Shujie kept staring at his cousin, making Wang Shouzhi feel embarrassed, and finally said: "Your office has such a big office area, why does it need a full-time person to clean it? I don't believe this job is more difficult than cashiering.
"
Wang Shouzhi was particularly moved when he heard what his cousin said. He understood that his cousin was actually doing it for his own good, but Wang Shouzhi had his own considerations.
Seeing that his cousin was still staring at him, Wang Shouzhi quickly said: "Brother, that's what you said, but our company is not just one office, other places are watching. You are my cousin, and I can't open this office."
head."
After finishing speaking, Wang Shouzhi saw that his cousin wanted to talk again, so he rushed ahead and said: "Brother, when one day I am no longer responsible for the office work and return to my hometown in Qingshi Town, I will ask Hongxia to go to the factory to find someone."
It’s a job.”
"Brother, you can't refuse when the time comes."
Cao Shujie looked at his evasive cousin. He could feel that what he said was true. He also felt that his cousin had become more mature and considered the problem more comprehensively. He could feel a bit of stubbornness in his cousin's eyes.
, Cao Shujie raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "Okay, that's no problem."
Cao Shujie wanted to go to the office to see his wife and children. He just turned around and took two steps, then turned to Wang Shouzhi and said: "Brother, remember one thing, I am your brother. As long as you don't do anything that violates your principles, don't do anything."
Any psychological burden."
"Hey!" Wang Shouzhi cheered.
The six people in the office area were whispering. They were not blind, and they could see that the relationship between Wang Shouzhi and Cao Shujie was not just that of a subordinate and a boss.
Recalling that Wang Shouzhi just naturally called the proprietress ‘sister-in-law’, some people thought, is it possible that the two families are really related?
If this is the case, then the relationship between their offices is really strong.
The place to eat is at a hotel near the office that specializes in local cuisine, called Shunjing Hongyuan.
Wang Shouzhi booked a large room, enough to accommodate 20 people sitting at the same time.
There are only 14 people in total, including Cao Shujie and his two siblings, Mengmeng and Ruirui. This room is more than enough.
When Long Hongxia came over and saw Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin, she affectionately called them brother and sister-in-law. That kind of enthusiasm was not fake at all.
Cheng Xiaolin also held her hand and kept talking.
Including Xiong Aihua, these employees in the office saw that their manager's wife was so familiar with the boss and the boss's wife, so they didn't understand that they were really related.
Shunjing Hongyuan is a very expensive place, so they usually would be reluctant to come there.
But today the boss treated us to a treat and was quite generous when ordering. Seeing a table full of delicacies, they simply couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food.
Cao Shujie didn't let them wait idle. After everyone drank the first sip of wine together, they started eating.
At this time, Cao Shujie would also find topics to chat with these people to increase their familiarity with each other. Coupled with the company of wine, the atmosphere at the table was quite good.
Everyone feels that their boss is very easy-going and down-to-earth. He is not the kind of person who talks too much and makes random pictures.
"When you work in the company, are you under a lot of pressure in all aspects?" Cao Shujie asked them.
This question is very difficult to answer.
They are wondering about the pressure of life that their boss is asking about?
Or work pressure?
If they say it's work pressure, and they say it's not stressful, it means the work arrangements are not in place.
But if there is a lot of pressure, will the boss think that they have opinions about the company and therefore have ideas about them?
It's really a dilemma.
Cao Shujie took the initiative to talk about when he was still working in Beijing 6 years ago: "At that time, I worked overtime all day and night, and often did research for a month without taking a break. I estimate that if I work like this for a few more years, I may die suddenly.
Later, in order to save my life, I quit working and returned to my hometown to start a business, which is how I established Xuemeng Food Factory."
No one thought that the boss had such an experience, and according to Cao Shujie, he had worked in the capital before. Cao Shujie told them about this experience openly, and everyone had different feelings in their hearts.
But there is no doubt that they have a good impression of their boss.
Cheng Xiaolin and Long Hongxia were chatting together, and then they learned that Long Hongxia had found a job as a cashier in a supermarket near the community where they lived.
"How's it going? Are you tired? It's quite hard for a cashier to stand there all day long." Cheng Xiaolin said.
Long Hongxia thinks it's okay.
They just manage the cashier work and don't have to think about other things, except that the salary is lower, only 4,000 yuan a month, and insurance is provided.
Long Hongxia is the kind of person who doesn't want to think too much about her work. She believes that the simpler the work content, the better. She doesn't have to worry about it and can live a happy life.
Hearing what Long Hongxia said, Cheng Xiaolin also felt that she lived a very transparent life, which was not a bad thing.
After dinner, Cao Shujie asked his cousin Wang Shouzhi to arrange for these people to return home, and also told his cousin to make sure that all these people had returned home, and then they went to a nearby hotel for temporary accommodation.
Wang Shouzhi originally thought about being a guide for his cousin and taking his family around tomorrow, but he didn't expect his cousin to say that he was familiar with this place.
"Didn't I tell you tonight that I used to work here and just take care of you? We can walk around as we please tomorrow." Cao Shujie said to his cousin.
Wang Shouzhi just remembered this, he nodded, no longer polite, and finally told Cao Shujie to call him anytime if anything happens.
…
"Why are my cousin and cousin here here at this time?" Long Hongxia and Wang Shouzhi returned to the house they rented here, and Long Hongxia was a little curious.
Wang Shouzhi told her that her cousin and sister-in-law were here to play: "Brother Jie and the others seem to be taking Mengmeng to visit the community where they used to live, and then take Mengmeng to watch the national flag raising."
"It's better for my cousin and the others. They can go wherever they want." Long Hongxia was lying if she said she wasn't envious.
She heard from her parents-in-law that her cousin and her cousin took her aunt and her family to Shencheng for the Chinese New Year, and even went to Xinjiang some time ago.
Not long after that, they came to the capital again.
To be honest, their exploration has never stopped.
Wang Shouzhi laughed: "Don't worry, I will make more money now, and when I save enough in the future, I will take you and your children around."
Long Hongxia believes it is true.
After they got married, just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, her husband was appointed by the company to come to the capital to establish the East China Regional Office.
The income in the first two months was indeed not as high as when she was a salesperson, but it was just a buffer. In the past three months, her husband's income has been higher month by month, and last month's income has exceeded hers.
Her husband’s average income when he worked as a salesperson was considered to be the right one for her husband to take charge of the sales office in a few months.
Based on her husband's current income, Long Hongxia even sees hope of them buying a house here in the capital.
However, Long Hongxia doesn't plan to live here for a long time. Comparatively speaking, she still prefers to go back to Qingshi Town.
Although the income there is less than here, the happiness index of life is higher than here.
In the supermarket where she worked, Long Hongxia met many colleagues who had low incomes and were worried every day.
She didn't understand why those colleagues would rather take a salary of four to five thousand yuan than go back to their hometown to find a job worth three to four thousand yuan.
Here in Beijing, ordinary consumption such as renting a house and eating take up more than half of the income of ordinary people, and the remaining money is simply not enough for them to spend as they like to buy the things they like.
Long Hongxia also saw that some of her colleagues would go out of their way to buy discounted fruits and vegetables and boxed milk that had been stored in the supermarket for too long and were stale. They rarely bought fresh products that were put on the shelves that day.
But Long Hongxia understood why they were like this.
In comparison, because her husband's income is very high, the 4,000 yuan she earns is purely her own pocket money. She can buy or eat whatever she wants, and she is very casual.
After hearing her husband's promise, Long Hongxia raised her hand and stroked his face: "No, I think it's fine now. There's no need to compare."
Wang Shouzhi felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
…
On the other hand, Cao Shujie and the others drove to the capital in the morning, and the ride was actually very tiring.
After dinner in the evening, we returned to the hotel to stay. The two siblings, including Mengmeng and Cao Yirui, who were usually very lively, quickly fell asleep.
Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin stopped exercising and took a rest early.
They have a good plan. Tomorrow they are going to take Mengmeng and Ruirui to visit the community where they used to live.
Six years have passed and many things have changed.
As for Song Baoming, he is only responsible for driving.
The next morning they woke up and checked out the room. After they had breakfast at a nearby shop, Cao Shujie entered the name of his previous community into the navigation system, Xingheyuan, Chaoyang District. Song Baoming drove the car himself without him having to give directions.
You can get there by following the navigation.
More than an hour later, Song Baoming drove to the gate of Xingheyuan Community.
Cao Shujie and Chen Xiaolin had different feelings when they saw the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar gate of the community.
Cao Shujie knew that the current gate was modified later, and an automatic recognition function was added.
In addition, in addition to the different doors, the exterior surfaces of all the buildings in the community have also been renovated, and the colors on the walls look brighter than before.
Mengmeng stood up holding the back of the passenger seat, looked at the community in front of her, and asked her father: "Dad, is this where we used to live?"
"Well, Mengmeng, don't you have any impression at all? You used to like to sit on the swing inside the most." Cao Shujie said.
"Then let's go take a look?" Mengmeng said and wanted to get out of the car.
Cao Shujie had already opened the car door and got out, holding a box of cigarettes in his hand, ready to register with the guard.
"Master, you..."
Before he could finish saying the word 'good', he looked up and saw an acquaintance.
He subconsciously shouted: "Old Ding, you are still doing it."
The old security guard in the security room looked up and heard the other party calling him Lao Ding. The old man rubbed his eyes and looked at Cao Shujie seriously.
After a while, he pointed at Cao Shujie and said happily: "You, you, it's you. Are you that Xiao Cao?"
He wasn't sure whether what he said was correct or not. It took too long and his memory was a little confused.
Cao Shujie nodded repeatedly: "It's me, Cao Shujie. When I used to collect water, I often came to you to smoke. Didn't you forget?"
While talking, Cao Shujie handed over another pack of cigarettes: "Old Ding, here you go."
Cao Shujie didn't know what Lao Ding's full name was. When he lived here before, he often came here to get purified water. In addition, the two of them were old smokers. They talked together, lit a cigarette, and talked back and forth.
This old security guard is familiar.
So he kept calling him "Lao Ding Lao Ding". Cao Shujie really didn't expect that six years had passed and Lao Ding was still working as a security guard here.
"Xiao Cao, didn't you move away? I didn't even know when you left. I didn't come to see you for a long time, and I didn't know until I asked you that you had moved away." Lao Ding sighed a little.
Cao Shujie was embarrassed, so he told Lao Ding: "You were working the night shift when I left. I originally wanted to come over and give you two boxes of cigarettes, but I didn't see anyone."
"Oh, why are you back again? Are you planning to move back here? By the way, where are you making a fortune now?" Cao Shujie, who kept looking at him, looked particularly affectionate.
Cao Shujie said with a smile: "I'm coming here for a visit this time and I won't come back to live here."
He told Lao Ding: "It's too difficult to make money here in Beijing and the pressure of life is too great, so I moved back to my hometown to develop."
"Oh, that's right. Don't talk about you. Even an old guy like me with a retirement salary can't hold on." Lao Ding also complained.
While they were chatting, Mengmeng got out of the car and ran over. Cao Shujie saw her and asked her to come over: "Mengmeng, call me Grandpa Ding."
When Lao Ding saw Mengmeng, he beamed: "Oh, this is that little one, he's grown so big, he's so handsome."
Lao Ding turned around and went to grab some snacks from a carton at the back. He took out a few boxes of milk from it and said, "The pure milk my son bought has the best date. Drink it quickly."
"Thank you, Grandpa Ding!" Mengmeng thanked him with a smile after taking the pure milk.
"Xiao Cao, where is your wife? Are you still a teacher?" Lao Ding and Cao Shujie chatted for a while, and now they all remembered her.
Cao Shujie shook his head: "The consumption in our hometown is low and we don't need to earn so much money. She just takes care of the children at home. This time it is just in time for the summer vacation of the eldest elementary school. She wants to come to the capital to see the national flag raising. Let's come over and think about it.
Come see the old place.”
Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Lao Ding was filled with emotion. He told Cao Shujie: "In the past few years, people in the community have come and gone, and the changes have been huge."
He also told Cao Shujie: "Your neighbor across the street also sold his house and moved away."
Cao Shujie knew that in his previous life, his neighbor across the street also went back to his hometown to look for a job because the company he worked for was not accepting jobs.
