Siheyuan: Rebirth 52 years later, escaping from famine in Beijing

The registration process was also very smooth.

This made Lu Weimin feel more and more that Li Jing had an unusual background.

What a kind person who helped me!

In addition, Li Jing is a very kind elder sister. When Lu Weimin wanted to invite her to dinner to express his gratitude for her helping his younger sister, she smiled and said:

"You haven't been working for a few days, how can I get the salary to treat you?

Besides, it's not easy for one person to take care of you and your sister's study expenses.

Besides, I never ask for anything in return for my help, so we will skip the dinner this time!"

Lu Weimin was extremely grateful for this and kept this kindness in mind.

……

Monday morning.

Lu Weimin sent Cheng Zhihan to junior high school.

Since Xiaohan started school, the expenses needed will gradually increase.

At this time, Lu Weimin deeply felt the true meaning of the old saying "You only know that money is not enough when you need it", and made up his mind to find a way to make more money.

……

Thursday afternoon.

The former Red Star Steel Pressing Plant, also known as Lou’s Steel Pressing Plant, is in the chairman’s office.

Assistant Zhu remembered something and knocked on the door and walked in.

"Chairman Lou, I've found the person you asked me to look for! His name is Lu Weimin, he's eighteen years old, he originally came to the city from the countryside to escape famine, and he has a younger sister.

He is currently working in the Maintenance Department of the Transportation Brigade of the Machinery Repair Branch of the Red Star Steel Plant. Do you need me to bring him over to meet you?"

Lou Bancheng was very happy to get this valuable information. He shook his head and said:

"No need! I'm going to go there myself and meet this person in person.

This can better express sincerity and attract talents to be loyal to our company.

"

Hearing this, Assistant Zhu's eyes flashed with admiration: "Chairman Lou is wise, I have learned a lot!"

27 High praise from the two general managers!

The next day.

Car repair shop in machine shop.

Lu Weimin seemed extremely relaxed and comfortable as he chatted with his colleagues while repairing the vehicle.

At this time, the system will occasionally emit notification sounds.

The sounds of these reminders could have been muted, but Lu Weimin didn't do that - he liked the reminder sound because it was crisp and pleasant, and more importantly, it gave him a constant sense of satisfaction, constantly telling him that he was improving his skill level, making him more motivated at work.

……

Half a day is about to pass quietly, and lunch time is approaching.

How come time flies so fast?

Einstein's theory of relativity is indeed correct. When we enjoy something, we feel that time passes quickly. On the contrary, when we are in agony, every minute and every second seems like a long day.

suddenly,

Captain Tong walked into the maintenance workshop with a smile on his face and called out:

"Comrade Wei Min, Comrade Wei Min! Please stop what you are doing and follow me to the factory director's office. The factory director needs you for something!"

When Master Ma and Master Cao heard the news, they looked over curiously.

Lu Weimin crawled out from under the car, cleaned his hands with a rag, and responded:

"No problem! I'll be there right away!" Then he followed Captain Tong and left.

On the way, Lu Weimin asked:

"Captain, what does the factory manager want to talk to me about?"

Captain Tong patted him on the shoulder:

“I don’t know that either.

But from the factory director's face, we can tell that he is in a very good mood. It must be a happy event, and there are some distinguished guests in his office!"

Lu Weimin thought to himself: "Distinguished guest?" Then he answered:

"I see. Thank you for letting me know!"

Captain Tong (originally named Da Hu) responded:

"Wei Min, why are you being so polite to me? To be honest, when I first met you, I felt that your talent was rare and I felt very close to you.

I am older than you, so you can just call me Brother Tong from now on. Don't always call me captain, it seems too distant.

'

Lu Weiming understood - it seemed that Da Hu seemed to have heard some news.

"In that case, then I will show my respect, Brother Tong, and thank you for taking care of me all the time!"

"Ha! Brother Weimin, you are too polite!"

The two of them walked to the factory director's office, chatting and laughing freely like close friends who had known each other for decades.

Captain Tong knocked on the office door: "Director, I brought Mr. Lu Weimin here!"

“Please let him come in directly.

"

"Yes! Director!

"

Captain Tong looked at Lu Weimin with a smile and said:

"Please come in!"

Lu Weimin said goodbye and pushed open the door and entered. At this time, in the office, Director Zhang and Lou Zhenhua were taking a nap on the sofa and drinking tea.

When they saw Lu Weimin step into the room, they all looked at him.

"Hello, Director!"

"Hello!"

Lu Weimin faced the two factory directors and visiting guests calmly and calmly.

At this time, Director Zhang smiled and said to him:

"Here comes Master Lu, come sit down!"

Director Zhang motioned for him to sit down and then turned to Mr. Lou and said:

"Boss Lou, please take a look and see if this is the distinguished person you are looking for?"

"Yes! It's this person.

" Lou Zhenhua was extremely happy to see Lu Weimin and stood up and walked towards Master Lu.

He continued to ask:

"Master Lu, do you still remember me?"

Lu Weimin replied: "Of course I remember, you and I once met in front of the Red Star Grain Store.

"

“That’s when it happened.

Thanks to you for pointing out the serious problem of my car in time. Fortunately, I followed your advice, otherwise I can't imagine what would happen! Since that day, I have been trying to find you! There are so many people in Beijing, and it is really not easy to find someone.

"Lou Zhenhua said with emotion,

But fortunately, it was found in the end.

"You helped me avoid a serious risk, and I'm here to thank you!"

Lu Weimin was familiar with the original script and knew that Lou Zhenhua had a heart disease. He was arrested because of his identity as a big capitalist during a period of bad social environment. He was later released with the help of Sha Zhu who found senior officials to intervene.

However, shortly after arriving in **, he died of a heart attack.

Heart patients cannot stand too much panic and stress, otherwise it is very easy to cause situations, such as sudden shocks like a flat tire.

Because of this, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lu Weimin saved his life.

However, Lu Weimin did not recognize that it was Lou Zhenhua at the time. He simply came forward to tell him because he discovered that there was a problem with the vehicle's tire. He did not expect any feedback or reward at all.

Therefore, when Lou Zhenhua proposed to give Lu Weimin money and property as gifts, Lu Weimin declined them all:

"Helping others without asking for anything in return is a traditional virtue of our Chinese culture. I really cannot accept the money you want to give me..."

Hearing Lu Weimin's statement, both Factory Director Zhang and Lou Zhenhua looked at him with affirmation in their eyes:

"He has the mentality of doing good without reward, and he still maintains his integrity in the face of huge rewards! He is truly a person of extraordinary character!"

On the other hand, Lou Zhenhua also showed great recognition for him and wanted to hire Lu Weimin to be in charge of the vehicle maintenance department under him.

"He has become the head of a department in one step? He has really risen to prominence, right?"

Lu Weimin was also quite surprised to hear this promise. He did not expect that Lou Zhenhua would give such a high evaluation and such a generous gift.

Of course, public-private partnership had not yet been launched at that time. In the environment at that time, Loujia Steel Rolling Mill still belonged to the ** field, and Chairman Lou Zhenhua’s word was final.

Not to mention promoting Lu Weimin to be the head of the automobile maintenance department, even appointing him as the general manager of the company was just a matter of words from him. One has to sigh at the amazing power that private enterprise parents have.

Director Zhang, who was standing by, was also surprised when he heard that Lou Zhenhua wanted to appoint Lu Weimin as the head of the automobile maintenance department.

This was beyond his imagination.

In fact, before Lu Weimin's visit, Lou Zhenhua had already hinted that he wanted to recruit Lu Weimin, and Director Zhang also agreed that if Lu Weimin was willing, then he had no objection.

But what he never expected was that Lou Zhenhua would give him such preferential treatment.

In addition to being shocked, he once again carefully evaluated Lu Weimin's technical level.

Because as far as he knew, if it was only because Lu Weimin had saved Lou Zhenhua, the latter would never have given him such a high position. It must be because Lu Weimin had very high level of skills that Lou Zhenhua had enough confidence to promise him such a high position.

No wonder Stationmaster Wang valued Lu Weimin so much before.

But now it seems that I have not fully realized Lu Weimin's strength!

Thinking about this, Director Zhang felt a little regretful. At the same time, he speculated that Lu Weimin would definitely agree to this position because the position was so high and so tempting.

However, unexpectedly, Lu Weimin politely declined again:

"Chairman Lou, I am very honored to be recognized by you and to be given such an excellent opportunity for my position.

It is impossible to say that you are not affected by **.

But I'm just an ordinary person who has ended up here.

It was Director Zhang who gave me the job opportunity and arranged my accommodation.

Now, I can have a stable job, a regular income and a place to live, and I am filled with gratitude to you from the bottom of my heart.

For this reason, I decided to work harder, for the factory and to bring honor to the factory director.

"

Nowadays, I have not achieved any remarkable results, nor have I been able to play due role for the factory. How can I leave easily just because of the high position and preferential treatment offered by other companies?

This practice violates my principles, so I cannot agree to it. I hope you can understand.

"

"Well said! Hahahaha, Old Lou, you've met a strong opponent now, because I have an outstanding employee here!" Seeing that Lu Weimin was grateful and not blinded by interests, Director Zhang was very happy. He stood up excitedly and patted his shoulder and said.

Lou Zhenhua was startled, then he smiled, his eyes flickering as he realized that this was a skilled player with outstanding character.

"We must never let go of such a talent!"

After a little thought, Lou Zhenhua added:

"In that case, Comrade Weimin, if you are unwilling to accept the monetary gift or the ministerial position and housing benefits, I will naturally not ** you.

But I have a wish that I hope you will grant.

What I value is your superb skills in mechanical maintenance.

Can you become our technical consultant for the auto repair department? I don't ask you to switch to our company. You can still work in your original company as usual. But if our repair department encounters a problem that cannot be solved, can you help to solve it?

This way, there is no need to seek advice from those arrogant foreigners...”

As he spoke, Lou Zhenhua winked at Director Zhang, asking him to help persuade Lu Weimin to accept it.

Hearing that he didn't need to lose this important person, Director Zhang was willing to help his friend.

He said to Lu Weimin, "Weimin, this is just a consultant position. It won't affect your work. Please consider helping Mr. Lou. What do you think?"

After weighing the pros and cons, considering that this was just a consulting position, it would not affect the mechanical maintenance work, and it could also increase wages. Funds were urgently needed at the moment. In addition, with Lou Zhenhua's sincere attitude and the support of Director Zhang, he agreed to the invitation.

Lou Zhenhua seemed extremely happy and confirmed a monthly salary arrangement of 55 yuan.

Monthly salary of 55 yuan?

I only make 25.5 yuan now, which is almost double what I make and far exceeds the salary of most employees. However, as he said, I will handle technical problems at the same level as foreign experts. Considering that I will only serve as a consultant and not work full-time for Lou's Steel Mill, this remuneration is well deserved.

Then he unexpectedly asked: "Wei Min, do you have a bicycle now?"

Lu Weimin shook his head: "Not yet!"

Then Lou Zhenhua replied: "In the future, you will need to shuttle between the two places, and it will be inconvenient without a pedal tool! Therefore, we will equip you with a top-of-the-line Yongsheng brand!"

After understanding the boss's true thoughts, Lu Weimin realized that although the vehicle was nominally allocated to him, it was actually a gift to him - he only expressed it in a gentle and implicit way; in addition, considering the urgent need for bicycle travel, he gladly accepted it in the end.

Lou Zhenhua was very happy when he saw that the other party did not refuse in the end.

...*

It was almost lunch time at noon.

Director Zhang ordered the chef to prepare several dishes specially for Lou Zhenhua and called Lu Weimin to the banquet.

After finishing his meal, Lu Weimin returned to his work area.

"Wei Min, what can the factory director do for you?" Seeing Lu Wei Min stepping into the work area, Master Ma hurriedly approached, his eyes full of concern.

Obviously, it is not appropriate to discuss office matters here.

So Lu Weimin only mentioned it briefly, saying that the factory director asked about his recent performance at work.

Master Ma and Master Cao looked at each other, as if to see what was going on.

Earlier, regarding the fact that Lu Weimin became a technician directly instead of starting as an apprentice, the two speculated that Lu might have some special connection with the factory director; today when they learned that the factory director paid special attention to Weimin, this speculation was confirmed - no wonder the captain thought so highly of him!

Seeing the two masters understand the situation in this way, Lu Weimin smiled bitterly in his heart - in fact, he didn't want to cause others to make such an association at all.

As for the afternoon, Lu Weimin kept rushing to practice in order to hone his skills.

This enthusiasm shocked Master Ma and Master Cao:

Even though he is the family member of a leader, Wei Min is not arrogant at all. Instead, he has outstanding skills and works diligently, which really makes them smile and feel lucky.

Therefore, the working atmosphere is harmonious and beautiful.

With such positive attempts, Lu Weimin has also made rapid progress in the field of car repair technology:

[Car repair skill improved +1]

[Car repair skill improved +1]

[Car repair skill improved +1]

So wait.

Until about 4:15 in the afternoon.

After finishing his work, he took a short break and browsed the system panel:

[Car repair skill level 4: 1,892/10,000]

Hey, I finally reached the fourth level of the basic stage. It feels great! Of course, Wei Min knew that his best skill was still to quickly identify the location of the car's fault.

"Haha! Let me rest for five minutes and then continue.

"

No matter what time he is working, he is always enthusiastic.

Just as we were about to continue working hard, Captain Tong appeared.

He smiled more kindly:

"Wei Min, a comrade from Lou's Steel Rolling Mill wants to see you!"

After hearing these words, Master Ma and Master Cao, who had been concentrating on their work, immediately continued to work "seriously", but they did not forget to listen.

You know, it is a well-known company that enjoys preferential treatment, so the two of them are very interested in this meeting, and they are not the only ones who think so.

Lu Weimin was also curious about this matter; his mind instantly became active:

"Could it be that Lou Zhenhua, whom I just met this morning, has come again?

Not quite right.

First of all, he wouldn't have that much time.
