Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

The senior executives thought about it for a moment and felt that what he said made sense. They looked at him with more appreciation and were amazed that a young man in his twenties could have such insight.

"Good, unique insights and sharp analysis," he praised.

"I have only learned superficially and am not mature enough. I am sorry to embarrass you!" Ye Chuan replied. He knew that leaders liked people who were decent and knew how to keep a sense of propriety.

"Ye Qing, what is your educational background?"

"Graduated from high school!" Ye Chuan said bluntly.

“Then why did you choose to work for this recycling company?” The senior executive was a little surprised, because although a high school diploma is not high-end, it at least provides basic education.

“I completed my studies two years ago, when there was no mass recruitment in all industries.

The community helped me to smoothly arrange a job in this company.

"Ye Chuan explained.

"Are you not dissatisfied?" the senior executive asked with a smile.

“It was indeed difficult to understand at first, but now I understand that wherever we are, we are serving the people.

he responded.

“Very good! Every position can play a role.

The country needs workers like you who have clear minds! Very good! "The top leaders kept praising.

Secretary Chen was shocked to hear three consecutive positive reviews. His leader had never spoken so highly of an individual before.

Even though the ministers and factory managers below have made great contributions, they have never heard similar words.

“Thank you for the compliment!”

"Ye Qing, I will remember you.

I am very grateful for what happened this time.

How about I invite you to dinner at a suitable time? "

“It’s nothing, a small matter, please don’t take it to heart.

"Ye Chuan said politely, feeling a little disappointed at the same time, as his wish to get close to the leader had not been fulfilled.

At this time in the steel rolling mill, Liu Haizhong's mentality fell to the bottom.

At the lunch tables, the notice board in front of the cafeteria was crowded with workers, all paying attention to the notice that had just been posted.

Yi Zhonghai and the others came forward and after reading the contents, their expressions changed noticeably.

“The Security Department received a report that there were doubts about the source of our factory worker Ye Yongshun’s bicycle.

After an in-depth investigation, it was found that Ye Yongshun's bicycle documents were complete and there were no problems.

The Security Department apologizes to Comrade Ye Yongshun for the possible adverse effects this incident may have caused.

The whistleblower Liu Haizhong made the report without providing any evidence, which not only violated Ye Yongshun's reputation, but also interfered with the normal operation of our department.

The factory leaders have decided to deduct Liu Haizhong’s subsidy for this month and his bonuses for the next three months. I hope everyone will take this as a warning.”

Liu Haizhong was extremely angry. This report caused him to lose dozens of yuan, and he couldn't afford to eat fried eggs for more than three months.

In contrast, Yi Zhonghai was more thoughtful and noticed something unusual in this announcement.

There are endless reports of this kind in the factory, and many of them are actually false accusations, but the security department has never apologized in person.

This time, not only did they apologize, but they also punished the whistleblower. Could this be related to Ye Yongshun or Ye Chuan?

Yi Zhonghai is used to being in high spirits. Ye Chuan's recent changes have made him feel out of control, which makes him feel unhappy.

"Master Ye was actually wronged!?"

"That informant is really shameless. They are said to be neighbors!"

"That's right, he's obviously jealous that the master has a bicycle!"

"People like this should be taught a lesson and serve as a warning!" The workers talked among themselves, covering their faces with their bangs and leaving in a hurry. They did not even have time to eat for fear of being provoked and retaliated against.

Yi Zhonghai left with a grim face. His mood had become increasingly depressed recently.

Originally hoping to get a house, he ended up with a lot of troubles. Ye Chuan, who had no eloquence, suddenly became sharp-tongued and challenged the boss's status. His most favored apprentice, Jia Dongxu, also got into trouble. Although the factory did not make any public statement, it was dissatisfied with the poor supervision.

Jia Dongxu was sitting on the flatbed cart with a depressed look on his face. Qin Huairu was dragging it forward with difficulty, and beads of sweat were on her forehead.

At Jia Zhang's request, Qin Huairu received the discharge documents and returned home. Although the doctors were somewhat opposed, they had no choice but to prescribe some medicine in the face of the insistent relatives.

In the past, Jia Dongxu would give his monthly salary to his mother.

Now, Qin Huairu is penniless and can only use the 15 yuan left after paying for her husband's medical expenses.

The factory agreed to let her take over, and she decided to report there tomorrow. She couldn't wait to take care of the living needs of a family of four.

It is wishful thinking to expect Jia Zhang to subsidize living expenses.

The road was littered with stones, and every time it shook, the wheels had difficulty moving forward.

Jia Dongxu frowned and scolded: "Look ahead, don't you want me to die?"

After the accident, he was dissatisfied with everything, especially Qin Huairu's peach blossom eyes, which only added to his annoyance.

Qin Huairu remained silent, her eyes welling with tears. The car itself was quite heavy, and she had no intention of dodging the pebbles.

After returning home, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang worked together to lift Jia Dongxu.

The little boy Bang Geng looked at the scene in confusion.

"Dad, what's wrong with your leg?"

"Daddy's leg is injured, you should go outside and play for a while!" Qin Huairu said softly.

"Will you become lame if you get injured?" Bang Geng asked curiously.

Jia Dongxu, who was suddenly in a bad mood, raised his hand and glared at him, "Go away!"

Qin Huairu was filled with worry and complained: "Banggeng is still young, why did you hit him?"

Jia Zhang was also worried about the hopelessness of getting help for her son who had lost his legs. Her hopes for the future were placed on her grandson.

"Indeed, you are such a grown-up, so you shouldn't be fussing with a child, right?"

After being injured, Jia Dongxu's heart became twisted and gradually leaned towards the dark side. After being blamed by the two people, he couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Get out!" When he was riding back on the cart just now, people along the way looked at him with sympathy, but those looks became humiliation in Jia Dongxu's eyes.

Qin Huairu silently left with Banggeng and Xiaotiantian. At this moment, she had not yet fallen into darkness and still had the image of a pure beauty from Qinjia Village.

Because Jia Dongxu was hospitalized, the family hadn’t cooked a decent meal for several days.

Bang Geng was hungry, so he looked up when he heard the aroma coming from the neighbor's kitchen: "Mom, I want to eat meat!"

"There's no meat for you. Just make do with some cabbage!" Jia Zhang said in a dissatisfied tone. The unhappiness from being scolded by her son had not yet dissipated.

She responded gently, "Banggeng, you have to be patient and wait. When mom goes to work and earns some money, I will buy meat for you and Xiaodang. How about that?" Xiaodang replied in a baby voice, "Okay, I want to eat meat!"

Although Banggeng is eight years old, he is not so easily fooled. His face turned slightly worse.

Early in the morning, Qin Huairu, who had prepared breakfast for the whole family, went to the steel mill excitedly.

As a woman of rural origin, she naturally admires the city's large state-owned enterprises. If she could find a job here or marry a worker here, the villagers would look at her differently.

Looking at the busy group of employees and thinking that she would become one of them, Qin Huairu's depression was slightly relieved.

Only Jia Dongxu went to work at home, and his salary was given to Jia Zhangshi, while Qin Huairu did not take a penny.

Even with such a life, she was happy with it and only hoped to live in the city and eat public food.

Now that she has taken over her husband's position, Qin Huairu finally has financial opportunities and no longer has to depend on others to make her living.

After successfully passing the security guard, she asked for the location of the factory's deputy director An Li and climbed to the top floor of the building.

Stepping into the steel mill is like Liu Laolao stepping into the Grand View Garden for the first time. There are slogans advocating production efficiency everywhere, and workers coming and going on the road, it seems extremely busy.

Deputy Factory Director Li had not yet had a sip of the tea that An Li had brewed, but when he saw someone walking into the office, excitement flashed in his eyes.

Ever since he went to the hospital to visit Jia Dongxu last time, Deputy Director Li couldn't get the beautiful Qin Huairu out of his mind.

I often get distracted during work.

Now seeing the person he had dreamed of right in front of him, Deputy Director Li An Li's face was filled with a warm smile, and he quickly arranged Qin Huairu to sit down on a chair.

"Deputy Director Li, I...I'm here to take over my husband's job.

"

Deputy Factory Manager An Li laughed and said, "Don't be in a hurry, have some tea first!" Qin Huairu seemed restrained sitting in the large office. The spacious room was even bigger than her own home, which brought her a great sense of pressure.

"Deputy Director Li, can I start working today?"

"Don't worry, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the factory today, and you can start work tomorrow." Deputy Factory Manager An Li pulled a chair and came to the opposite side of Qin Huairu, and their legs touched accidentally.

Qin Huairu quickly dodged back.

"Comrade Qin Huairu, I sympathize with your situation, but Jia Dongxu violated the factory regulations, so we can't make special arrangements for him.

You need to start as an apprentice and upgrade step by step with hard work. The monthly salary is only 18 yuan! " Deputy Factory Manager An Li's calm words sounded like a bolt from the blue to Qin Huairu. Only 18 yuan!

When she learned about the salary, her mind went blank.

With only 18 yuan to support the daily life of the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and a family of five, it is impossible to last until the end of the month.

Seeing Qin Huairu's stunned expression, Deputy Director Li An Li showed a subtle smile and gently patted Qin Huairu's thigh.

“Of course, this is just factory rule.

If someone helps you to intercede, you can become a formal employee and your salary can be raised to 25 yuan per month! " Deputy Factory Director Li rubbed her thigh with his hand, but Qin Huairu felt extremely uncomfortable.

Now she would not be taken advantage of for two white flour buns, nor would she go into the warehouse with Xu Damao for a coarse meal.

Qin Huairu was not corrupted by the darkness and had not yet realized how difficult the next few years would be.

Looking at Li's expression, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.

Deputy Director Li did not notice her change of mood and said directly: "Qin Huairu, as long as you listen to me, I can directly make you a formal employee. The salary, bonus and subsidies will be much higher than those of apprentices."

He understood the plight of the Jia family, whose livelihood depended mainly on Qin Huairu's income.

So he believed that he could easily manipulate this beautiful woman, and felt that she was just a fish on the chopping board and would be controlled as soon as she opened her mouth.

However, Qin Huairu was not stupid, she vaguely understood the intention of the man in front of her.

At this moment, she had not yet become the woman who knew the importance of food and daily necessities. She stood up without hesitation and responded with enough distance: "I am not the kind of person you say I am, Deputy Director Li!"

His mood suddenly changed from sunny to cloudy, and he said to the vigilant Qin Huairu in a deep voice: "Qin Huairu, you have to think it over! Promise me that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future; if you don't, you will start as an apprentice at the bottom of the workshop, with only 18 yuan a month. Is this enough to support a family?"

Faced with this, Qin Huairu did not waver at all: "I would rather go to the workshop as an apprentice!"

Li's face sank. After staring at Qin Huairu for a while, he walked to the table and wrote down an order. When he stood up and left, his expression had returned to normal.

"Take this note and report to the Personnel Department!" He said in a businesslike manner, picking up the document and pretending to read it.

Qin Huairu glanced at the words "Jia Dongxu's wife, normal procedures" written on the paper, and her heart was slightly relieved. She twisted her hips and left the deputy director's office.

When she arrived at the personnel department and received instructions, an employee told her: "Report to Workshop 18 tomorrow as a fitter trainee, 2 yuan per month, plus a yuan subsidy.

You can become a full-time employee after one year of internship.

If you are promoted within one year, your salary will be calculated according to the corresponding level! "

After the subsequent procedures were explained, Qin Huairu listened carefully and nodded frequently to show her understanding and acceptance.

After resolving the handover issue, Ye Chuan was also happy to find that the top management's invitation to dinner was not just a polite gesture.

Only one day later, at four o'clock, when it was almost time to get off work, Ye Chuan and Fatty Han had just parked the flatbed tricycle in the designated area when the guard at the door hurried over to inform them that someone was looking for Ye Chuan.

When Ye Chuan went out to check, he was slightly surprised to find that it was the driver of the HQ car yesterday.

Seeing Ye Chuan appear, the driver was delighted: "Young man, the boss asked me to pick you up for dinner."

"Master Ma, please wait a moment. I'll go change my clothes." Ye Chuan quickly asked Director Tang for an hour's leave, changed his clothes immediately, and got into the car.

"My name is Master Ma. Just call me Master Ma from now on." Master Ma said while driving.

"Thank you, Master Ma, for the ride." Ye Chuan thanked him. Master Ma smiled and said nothing more, concentrating on driving the car.

The luxury sedan rode briskly and smoothly, with almost no noticeable bumps thanks to Master Ma's excellent driving skills.

Ye Chuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked out through the window, attracting envious glances from passers-by.

This ride was the first time I rode a car since the time travel, and it brought a familiar yet long-lost feeling, as if I had returned to the past.

Ten minutes later, the car slowly drove into a quiet courtyard, and Master Ma braked steadily to a stop.

"Comrade Ye Chuan, you're here. The leader is waiting for you. Go in quickly!" As Ye Chuan got out of the car, his secretary Mr. Chen immediately reminded him.

"Okay, thank you." Ye Chuan didn't know whether to call Secretary Chen "Mr. Chen" or "Brother Chen", so he simply stopped calling him that.

In front of me is a two-story Western-style building. The yard is full of vegetables and fruits, which is a bit in conflict with the overall architectural style.

Following Mr. Chen into the house, he immediately saw the big leader sitting comfortably on the sofa, surrounded by middle-aged men in white shirts. One of them was someone Ye Chuan knew, he was Director Yang of the steel rolling mill.

When the big boss saw Ye Chuan coming in, he didn't stand up, but just smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, you're here? Come over here and sit down!"

Ye Chuan walked to the sofa, first saluted the leader, then greeted the other four, and then found a seat alone and sat down.

The big boss looked at Ye Chuan and introduced him to everyone: "Everyone is here, let me introduce you to Xiao Ye. We met on the way yesterday..."

So the leader recounted in detail how they met, and especially emphasized the scene when they discussed Romance of the Three Kingdoms together.

After hearing this, the four people were slightly surprised. They were shocked not because of Ye Chuan's level of knowledge, but because of his skill - car repair.

In this era, private cars are as rare as gold, and ordinary people seldom touch one in their lifetime. However, this person in front of him actually knows how to repair it!

No wonder the leader paid special attention to an ordinary employee of a waste material recycling company and even invited him to his home. It turned out to be because of this reason.

Ye Chuan said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, it's just a coincidence."

The chief smiled and said, "Too much modesty is just bragging."

Ye Chuan smiled slightly, listened to others talking about work, and occasionally sipped his tea.

Although they were chatting, the chief had been paying attention to Ye Chuan's every move. Seeing him listening calmly, he couldn't help but secretly praise him: a young man who is neither humble nor arrogant, has a calm mind, and has a good sense of propriety.

Nearly half an hour later, perhaps fearing that the newly arrived Ye Chuan might be neglected, Director Yang asked soothingly, "Xiao Ye, your daily work must be heavy and hard, right?"

Ye Chuan replied: "Boss, the work is not that busy. I walk around the streets every day, but everything else is fine."

"Does your unit have any other requirements regarding workload?"

Ye Chuan pondered for a moment and said, "There is a purchase limit every month. When we reach this amount, the director generally does not interfere with our work."

The chief laughed and said, "Xiao Ye, you always call us 'leader'. Don't you want to know our true identities?"

Ye Chuan thought to himself, there must be a reason why the leader didn't say anything, and besides, I am not unfamiliar with your identities.

He secretly said, "It's best if the leader doesn't talk about things like curiosity."

"Smart guy!" The leader's impression of Ye Chuan improved further. How could a young man who was just in his twenties have such maturity and words?

The other four people also laughed continuously, and even Secretary Chen who was not far away was laughing secretly. The chief called him a "little rascal", which meant that his recognition of Ye Chuan was increasing.

The chief then pointed to a man and said, "This is Manager Lu from Jingcheng Guanghua Glass Products Factory."

Ye Chuan immediately stood up, extended his hand politely, and said, "Hello, Manager Lu."

Mr. Chen still had a smile on his face, but he was surprised in his heart.

The chief introduced the factory managers around him to Ye Chuan, which showed that he already regarded him as his own and the initial consideration had passed this hurdle.
