A foreign city, dear you

Director Su said no, who will take over your job if you leave? Now is the time when the company needs people. If you suddenly say that you want to resign, it will affect the whole body. I won’t approve! If you have difficulties, speak up. I will also apply to the company to increase your salary to 20,000.

Cao Xueqian quickly explained, Director Su, you have misunderstood. I am not asking for a salary increase in disguise.

Director Su said, I know this. The salary was originally planned to be adjusted at the end of last year, but this time it is just a late adjustment.

Cao Xueqian was soft-hearted. Seeing what Director Su had said, he stopped insisting.

Alas, he was reluctant to resign. Moreover, his salary here has repeatedly reached new highs.

Twenty thousand.

Although Cao Xueqian acted very calmly in front of Director Su, he was undoubtedly very happy in his heart.

I remember that when I first came to Yancheng, my salary was reduced to 600, which is really shocking!

When she gets home and talks to Ye Lian, she will definitely be very happy.

It's just that Li Jin can't resign, so what can he tell Cheng Yufei? How can we not affect Tongxin's development without being able to manage it personally?

It is really a difficult thing to handle, and it can also be said to be a happy trouble.

I don't know when the road conditions became smoother, and the speed of the car increased. After a while, we arrived at a traffic light intersection.

Cao Xueqian slowly stepped on the brakes.

The cell phone placed on the dashboard of the car rang.

It was an unknown phone call.

Cao Xueqian answered doubtfully.

It turned out to be a call from a high school classmate named Yang Pu.

Yang Pu was originally in Zhucheng and came to Yancheng on a business trip. Hearing that Cao Xueqian was in Yancheng, he contacted Cao Xueqian.

Cao Xueqian was naturally very happy when he heard the voice of his old classmate. The two of them asked each other all kinds of questions and chatted very excitedly.

"How many days will you stay in Yancheng?" Cao Xueqian asked.

"I'll go back tomorrow." Yang Pu said.

"So soon? Then will you come and sit at my house tonight? Let's have a good chat?"

"I'm afraid not at night. I have something else to do tonight."

"What about tomorrow at noon? Are you free at noon tomorrow?"

Cao Xueqian strongly invited. Because Yang Pu was a very good friend of his in high school, but then he disappeared out of thin air for some reason, and there was no news from him for a long time. Now that he suddenly appeared, he naturally wanted to meet him.

Yang Pu hesitated on the phone and said, "It should be OK at noon tomorrow."

Cao Xueqian was very happy: "Then you come to my company to see me at noon tomorrow, and I'll treat you to a light meal. If you come early, I can take you around my company."

*

At noon the next day, Fuji Restaurant.

Cao Xueqian did not have dinner with his colleagues today because Yang Pu came over and Cao Xueqian wanted to accompany Yang Pu.

Cao Xueqian had just taken Yang Pu around the Lijin Company, and then came to Fuji Restaurant relatively early and chose a seat by the window.

While Cao Xueqian was ordering, Yang Pu looked outside.

Yang Pu is slightly shorter than Cao Xueqian, with a flat head, slightly bronze face, and big and lively eyes. There is always a smile on his face, and his mouth seems to have something to say at any time.

"Your area is really prosperous." Yang Pu said.

Cao Xueqian smiled and said: "I just work here, it's not my location."

"Don't you think you've spent more time here than at home?"

"That's true. But no matter how long you stay, you're still just a passerby."

"If you don't want to be a transient, just buy a house here."

"Then I have to rely on you to fund it, otherwise I would just look at the tower and sigh."

"Then you might as well set a price on me and see how much I can sell it for."

"Is it just you? Are you overestimating your own worth?"

"Haha." The two laughed under their breath.

Although the two old classmates have not seen each other for many years, they are not at all hostile and they are talking, laughing and joking with each other as before.

The food Cao Xueqian ordered was already on the table, and the tables around him were quickly filled with people.

The two of them chatted while eating.

Cao Xueqian gave a general introduction to his experiences over the years. This part about working in Lijin was finished in a few words, but he talked a little more about Lijin's previous experience, and then briefly talked about his family, which made Yangpu sigh.

After Cao Xueqian finished talking about himself, he asked Yang Pu: "What about you? How old is your child?"

"Child?" Yang Pu laughed self-deprecatingly: "I don't even know where the child's mother is yet."

"You haven't gotten married yet?" Cao Xueqian was surprised. He opened his mouth and forgot to chew food.

"Are you laughing at me? Do you think everyone can have a successful family and career like you?"

"Then you can't just neglect your career and not have a family, right?"

"You stay in the factory every day, how can you have time to care about other things?"

"What factory do you work in?"

"A denim factory."

"You didn't sell yourself to it, how could you not even have the chance to start a family?"

"It's almost sold." Yang Pu smiled bitterly.

"what happened?"

Yang Pu then briefly explained his situation to Cao Xueqian.

It turns out that the denim factory where he works is owned by his brother. After graduating from college, he helped his brother manage the factory in his factory. Because it was his brother who provided for him to go to college, he regarded his brother's factory as his own. He worked day and night, doing everything at once, and he had no time to take care of his own marriage. Under his careful management, he brought his brother's factory from the brink of bankruptcy to a slight profit.

"What about your brother? He doesn't care about the factory himself?" Cao Xueqian asked.

"Since I entered the factory, he has thrown all the burdens on me. He has completely acted as a hands-off shopkeeper."

"Then how much does your brother pay you per month?"

"Five thousand."

"Five thousand?" Cao Xueqian couldn't believe it: "Aren't you treating your brother as cheap labor?"

"Alas -" Yang Pu sighed softly.

"Will I give you a dividend?"

"No. The factory is also small, its development is relatively limited, and it doesn't make much money."

"Have you never thought about finding a job by yourself after leaving the factory? With your academic qualifications and ability, let alone a high salary, it should be around ten thousand, right?"

Yang Pu shook his head helplessly: "My brother is the one who provided for me to go to college. I can't make up my mind and can't speak out."

"How could your brother do this? He is your brother, he should also think about you."

"He probably feels that he has done me a favor and I should repay him."

"Then you will always stay in your brother's factory?"

"I don't know, at least for now I have to wait."

"So, you've been here for at least ten years, right? How many decades are there in your life?"

"That's probably what my life is going to be like."

"That's not possible." Cao Xueqian was a little anxious: "That's not how you repay your kindness, right? Moreover, you have done your best for your brother for so many years, and you are already worthy of him. No matter how great the kindness is, you have already paid it off. .”
