After appeasing Yu Deli, Cao Zhiqiang got off work on time and asked his current exclusive driver Zhang Qianjin to continue driving the cool Citroen CX20 and take him straight to Cao Lili's residence.
When these two stunning hatchback cars arrived at Cao Lili's school, they immediately aroused the envy of some children after school.
Although there were not many fashion concepts in China at this time, it did not prevent everyone from appreciating beautiful things.
I have to say that the Citroen CX20 is indeed one of the most beautiful cars in China at this time in terms of appearance alone.
Even the legendary Crown car that has appeared on the street now is not as stylish as this French-origin Citroën CX20 hatchback sedan.
Moreover, this car is purely imported, and the domestic quantity is not large at this time.
It was only in mid-2083 that the number of Citroen CX20s really started to increase. After a large number of Citroen CX20s became taxis, they became a beautiful sight and made the people of Beijing familiar with the Citroen brand for the first time. Of course, this is all a story later. .
However, although this Citroën CX20 car is very popular, it can still only stop at the gate of the primary school and cannot continue in because the gatekeeper will not let it in.
This is normal. In schools of this era, ordinary outside vehicles are not allowed to enter casually, and the management is also very strict.
But the place where Cao Lili and the others live now is the teachers' family home. They are all inside the school at this time. If they want to enter, they must pass through the school gate.
The school also has a back door, but it is usually not open. It is a fire escape.
However, the gatekeeper didn't know whether he was angry or particularly hated the rich. Anyway, his tone was very bad. Not only did he not let me in, he also cursed and cynicized the driver Zhang Qianjin.
At this moment, Zhang Jinjin was offended, so he got out of the car and beat him up.
"Okay, Lao Zhang, stop making trouble, just wait here." Cao Zhiqiang persuaded Zhang Qianjin in time.
"I'll bring them out, you stay well and don't conflict with them, they are also responsible.
Don't get angry just because someone has a bad temper. It's not easy. You have to respect your elders, you know? "
After hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Zhang Qianjin nodded angrily, agreeing, but the look in his eyes at the old man was still a little unkind.
Seeing Zhang Qianjin's appearance, Cao Zhiqiang said nothing, but felt a little guilty in his heart.
Cao Zhiqiang knew that Zhang Qianjin was like this because he was angry with Niu Shufen before, and he still hasn't recovered yet.
However, it is understandable. After all, people like Zhang Qianjin, although they had some money in the past because of being self-employed, have always been ignored and made things difficult by all parties in society, and they belong to the kind of people with a very low social status.
The more this kind of person is, the more sensitive he is. It is very likely that if you glance at him, he will feel that you look down on him, and then fight with you.
Of course, this is also caused by various reasons, nothing more than family background, educational background, etc.
All in all, the self-employed people in the early 1980s were really rich if they were to be considered wealthy. The so-called households worth ten thousand yuan were basically this group.
But this group has little status. Even an ordinary street sweeper can look down on them.
Not to mention the man watching the gate.
The old gatekeepers of this period were really not easy to mess with. They were completely different from the gatekeepers of later generations. They both had to be related to be able to be employed.
As for the self-employed at this time, if they want to expand their business scope and make more money, there are only two ways.
Or, there is a local big shot covering him.
Either they don’t hire people, but establish a model similar to mutual cooperation, such as the wholesaler-retailer relationship that Li Youfu and Zhang Qianjin had in the past, refusing to recognize that the relationship between them is an employment relationship.
The first situation is to find a big shot to protect you. You must first have a big shot willing to protect you. If not, no matter how much you say, it will be useless.
As for the second situation, there is also a great risk, because it is sneaky, and it will be troublesome once it is discovered.
Of course, this is the period when self-employed people are not welcome.
If things go according to normal conditions, in another year or two, when the private economy is liberalized and the wave of nationwide business begins, they, the first batch of self-employed entrepreneurs, will be able to unshackle themselves, feel proud and proud, and become the first batch of private enterprises. Lord, write a new chapter.
But that's later.
At least for now, these first batch of self-employed people are basically unemployed vagrants without official units to take them in. Because of this, they are still in a state of not being recognized by most people.
If not for this, Cao Zhiqiang would not have recruited Li Youfu and Zhang Qianjin so easily, making them willing to bring capital to join, and they were also very motivated and grateful.
For example, this Citroen CX20 hatchback sedan is Li Youfu's favorite car.
He was usually reluctant to drive it, but this time in order to show his sincerity, he personally led a team to develop a business in other places, but he took the initiative to give the car to Cao Zhiqiang, and even picked up Zhang Qianjin as a driver.
Zhang Qianjin is also willing to work as a driver for Cao Zhiqiang, because he feels that being a driver for Cao Zhiqiang is more honorable than being a self-employed person.
As for making money, Zhang Qianjin certainly has no shortage of it.
After all, like Li Youfu, he was one of the first "veterans" to defect to Cao Zhiqiang, and he also brought capital to join and was also the deputy director of the sales department.
According to the share ratio specified by Cao Zhiqiang before, deputy director Zhang Qianjin will get a share of every product sold by the sales department.
Although Zhang Jinjin’s share is very low, as long as the amount increases, the figures are still considerable.
To a certain extent, Zhang Qianjin has become a kind of rentier class by holding Cao Zhiqiang's thigh.
In other words, Zhang Jinjin no longer has to get up early and work late at night to set up a street stall. He only needs to serve Cao Zhiqiang well and secure his position as deputy director of the sales department of Hongguang Publishing House. According to the previous contract signed by Cao Zhiqiang himself, Zhang Jinjin can To make money.
In terms of making money, Zhang Qianjin has no worries, so he needs a higher pursuit, which is friendship and respect.
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, Zhang Qianjin has now satisfied his physiological and safety needs. What he needs next are social needs and respect needs.
If Zhang Qianjin is still the self-employed person he used to be, he will still have to hang out in that circle. It will be impossible to get a higher level of respect.
But it's different with Cao Zhiqiang.
Cao Zhiqiang is now the president and general manager of a large publishing house. He has also just been appointed as the deputy director of the tertiary industry office of Hongguang Machinery Factory. He is responsible for managing all tertiary industries of the machinery factory, which is a very powerful position.
Although Zhang Qianjin was actually just a contract worker at this time and was not even considered a worker, outsiders didn't know that.
Outsiders will only see that he is Cao Zhiqiang's driver and belongs to a large unit like Hongguang Publishing House, and they will naturally think that Zhang Qianjin is also very awesome.
This is a typical example of a fox pretending to be a tiger.
You know, in this era, the leading driver is not just a driver, it also represents the meaning of confidants.
With this understanding, the improvement of status is not just a small improvement.
Think back to the beginning, why was Bangge so awesome?
Isn't it just because he drives for the leader of the department and is the leader's driver?
As a leading driver, who dares not to look down upon him?
Even a big brother in society like Wei Dajun has to bow his head when seeing a stick figure because he can't afford to offend him.
In the same way, Zhang Qianjin's current external status is that he is the driver of the publisher's president, which is naturally completely different from his past self-employed status.
Apart from anything else, at least when his parents saw him, he was no longer shameless. He could hold his head high when meeting neighbors and so on. Many young girls and young wives looked like they were smiling when they saw him.
He had never experienced that feeling of being respected in his life, not even when he was rich.
Because of this, he was very grateful to Cao Zhiqiang, because it was Cao Zhiqiang's appearance that changed his life and allowed him to become a human being.
Therefore, once he saw someone being unfavorable to Cao Zhiqiang, he subconsciously had the idea of humiliating his minister to death.
The reason why Zhang Qianjin had a conflict with Niu Shufen and was sprayed in the face by Niu Shufen was actually because he was too talkative, and the reason why he was too talkative was subconsciously to protect Cao Zhiqiang.
Cao Zhiqiang later learned that if Cao Zhiqiang had not immediately clashed with Niu Shufen, and that Director Li was serving wine as a peacemaker, and that Niu Shufen broke her shoes after drinking, Zhang Qianjin actually wanted to secretly retaliate against Niu Shufen.
According to Zhang Qianjin, he planned to follow Niu Shufen secretly in the middle of the night, and then wait for no one to stab Niu Shufen in the back with a white knife in and a red knife out.
This made Cao Zhiqiang scared for a while, thinking that this guy was also a cruel person and had problems with his outlook on life.
Of course, Cao Zhiqiang later learned that Zhang Qianjin’s thoughts were really normal in this era, and it was not a problem with his three views.
On the contrary, it is actually Cao Zhiqiang who has problems with his three views. His ideas have actually remained at the beginning of the 21st century and have never really penetrated into the market of this era.
What is the market sentiment of this era?
It really has a strong grassy atmosphere.
Especially here in Beiping City, many people really dare to risk everything and take risks for a promise or a sense of loyalty!
Zhang Qianjin is like this, Li Youfu is like this, including Jin Xiuying and even Silly Zhu. They are all essentially influenced by this reckless culture.
This kind of bloody grassy atmosphere really disappeared only after the reform and opening up deepened and everyone began to worship money. Only then did this grassy culture gradually disappear.
Therefore, some things may be ridiculous in the eyes of Cao Zhiqiang, but in the eyes of people like Zhang Qianjin, they are very serious matters.
Just like Niu Shufen, she sprayed Zhang Qianjin in public and looked like it didn't matter, Zhang Qianjin could bear it.
But Zhang Qianjin believed that if Niu Shufen did not give Cao Zhiqiang face, he would be humiliating his minister to death, so he would share the trouble with the Lord. The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out. At worst, something will happen in the end and he will go out and surrender.
This is completely different from Zhang Jinjin's performance in the security department of the machine factory.
If Cao Zhiqiang hadn't known that it was all true, he would never have imagined that these two manifestations would be concentrated on the same person.
It was not until later that Cao Zhiqiang asked Chen Jiabang that he got the real answer, knowing why Zhang Qianjin had such two temperaments: recklessness and timidity.
It turns out that to put it bluntly, this is just a kind of spiritual sustenance, or in other words, a special reckless culture in which loyalty comes first and scholars die for their confidants.
Just like Chen Jiabang, he is also this kind of person, but his loyalty is to Factory Director Li.
For Director Li, he would risk his life.
From this perspective, Secretary Chen Jiabang is actually a reckless person.
Specifically, this group of people look down on life, death and money, but they value loyalty.
But what is loyalty?
In fact, their own cognition is very vague.
Basically, I will be loyal to anyone who respects me, treats me as a brother, or is very kind to me.
For the sake of this sense of loyalty, you can shed your blood and sacrifice your life, and just do it if you don't accept life or death.
I think back then, when little bastards made all kinds of troubles, most of them were not for themselves or to make money, but to stand up for their so-called brothers.
Now these people have grown up and have become honest due to the pressure of life, but the recklessness in their bones is still there, but it has been suppressed.
Normally, they can be cowardly or humble, but once someone ignites the recklessness in their hearts, they can change into a different person in an instant.
At that time, they no longer cared about themselves, but about the so-called loyalty.
Obviously, Cao Zhiqiang's actions and his innate attitude of treating others as equals have won the approval of people like Zhang Qianjin and Li Youfu.
Fortunately for Li Youfu, he didn't have much contact with Cao Zhiqiang. He was more impressed by Cao Zhiqiang's skills and big pie.
Zhang Qianjin is different. He has been following Cao Zhiqiang for a long time, and he has experienced the changes in his identity that come with being Cao Zhiqiang's driver.
And he could most clearly feel that Cao Zhiqiang had never looked down on him, and had never yelled at him.
He can see and feel this kind of deep-seated respect, but he doesn't usually express it, and he doesn't have the opportunity to express his gratitude.
Therefore, Zhang Qianjin actually wanted to find an opportunity to prove his worth, or to repay Cao Zhiqiang for his kindness.
The Niu Shufen incident was originally an opportunity for Zhang Qianjin.
When he was fucked by Niu Shufen, he became very angry and wanted to fight her with a white knife and a red knife.
Unfortunately, Cao Zhiqiang's subsequent series of actions were too fast, causing Zhang Qianjin to lose this opportunity to repay his kindness.
The most ridiculous thing is that he later told Cao Zhiqiang everything about it, and he said it proudly, thinking that Cao Zhiqiang would value him more.
As everyone knows, when he told this matter, Cao Zhiqiang not only didn't think highly of him, but was shocked.
He is a fucking lunatic, no less generous than Kim Soo-young.
After all, Jin Xiuying was put into a cage by herself, and she was fooled by things like dreams.
But this Zhang Qianjin is different, he is a time bomb.
Cao Zhiqiang wanted to replace him again, but he was afraid that if he replaced him, he would get into trouble again after he was far away from him.
So after much thought, Cao Zhiqiang decided to keep him by his side, for no other reason than to keep an eye on him and stop him from causing trouble for me.
At the same time, it was precisely because of Zhang Qianjin's situation that he wavered slightly at the idea of recruiting self-employed people.
He felt that if most of the self-employed people had this kind of temper at this time, they would have to be careful when recruiting them in the future.
Don't taste the benefits before making a mess first.
"I stress it again!" Cao Zhiqiang, who was afraid of something happening, warned Zhang Qianjin again.
“My sister lives there and goes to school there!
So don't cause any trouble for me and just stay in the car!
Especially don't cause trouble for that uncle. If he takes the initiative to cause trouble for you, please bear with me. This is an order, do you hear it? "
"I got it." Zhang Qianjin chuckled, "Don't worry, general manager, no, president, I will definitely obey your orders, I promise to give you face, and I promise not to beat him here!"
"What's happening here, I won't allow it in the future!" Cao Zhiqiang glared.
Zhang Jinjin frowned: "If he falls by himself in the future, he can't blame me, can he?"
"Don't be poor like me!" Cao Zhiqiang looked at the janitor, and then whispered to Zhang Qian, "I don't know you yet, do you want to go back and secretly beat me? I'm warning you, put away this idea as soon as possible, how old are you? It’s something, what about it?”
"Hmph, who made him look down upon others?" Zhang Qianjin curled his lips.
"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang said, "I'm not targeting you deliberately, I'm doing this to everyone, so don't give yourself any advantage. Also, follow me from now on and keep your temper down!"
In the future, our identities will be different and our work will be different. Don’t just take out a knife and carry a stick.
You need to learn to use your brain. Do you understand how to use your brain? "
Zhang Qianjin thought for a while: "Just like how you dealt with that stinky bitch Niu Shufen?"
Cao Zhiqiang lowered his face and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Why should I deal with it? It's her own fault!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Qianjin chuckled, "It's all your own fault, but it's not just the fault, hehehehe."
Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "Anyway, you have to follow me, use your brain more and think twice before you act!
We are now educated people, and educated people must pay attention to their status when doing things. They can no longer kill and kill all the time. They must understand the usage of laws and be law-abiding citizens. Do you understand? "
"I understand!" Zhang Qianjin nodded, "Don't worry, I promise not to conflict with the gatekeeper. I promise to stay safe and be a law-abiding citizen. Is that all right?"
Cao Zhiqiang pointed at Zhang Qianjin again: "Remember what you said!"
Seeing Zhang Qianjin nodding again, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, got out of the car, and took the initiative to give the gatekeeper an entry and exit voucher, plus five yuan.
With that voucher and five yuan, the gatekeeper let Cao Zhiqiang in.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Jinjin curled his lips slightly and narrowed his eyes at the gatekeeper: "Old guy, I'm taking advantage of you. My brother is a person of status now, and he doesn't have the same knowledge as you! If it had been in the past, huh Hum, I can’t kill you!”
