"Okay, Boss Sun!"
"You have worked hard too. Go home early. Manager Chen and I will meet at the Gangcheng store at 8:30 tomorrow morning. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye, Boss Sun!"
"Goodbye, Boss Sun!"
------
"Master Zhong, this is Boss Sun from Qiming Bookstore in Jiangcheng. He came to take a look at the warehouse we rented!"
On Sunday, the workers at the Hua Ming Street Cardboard Factory were taking a break. The factory was empty and the door was locked. There was only an old man in his sixties on duty at the concierge, squinting his eyes, playing with his hands, amusing himself, and the radio was playing. Chen Xuemei opened the door as the aria from the Han opera "Three Invitations to Fan Lihua" came out.
"Hello, Master Zhong!"
"Boss Sun!"
Zhong Guoliang was also surprised when he saw young Sun Jian. Is this the owner of Jiangcheng Qiming Bookstore?
"Manager Chen, this warehouse is good. I took a closer look. It doesn't leak. Anti-theft nets need to be installed on the two windows to prevent mice from crawling in and making nests. An iron door needs to be installed at the door, and two cans of fire extinguishers need to be prepared. "
"Okay, Boss Sun, I'll go to the street to ask someone to come over tomorrow."
"Manager Chen, have you found the truck driver?"
Sun Jian saw that the door downstairs of the warehouse was spacious, parking was convenient, and there were people taking care of it. The Dongfeng brand small truck he bought for Jiangcheng Qiming Bookstore was still parked in the yard of the company headquarters. It was still with a temporary license. Chen Xuemei still couldn't find it. If the truck driver is reached, he will send a security guard to drive over to help.
"Boss Sun, not yet!"
Chen Xuemei laughed, Boss Sun is going to buy a car!
"Manager Chen, do you know anyone?"
"Boss Sun, no, I'll look around tomorrow?"
"Master Zhong, I would like to trouble you to take a closer look at the warehouse in the future!"
"Boss Sun is too polite. This is what I should do. Please rest assured, Boss Sun!"
Zhong Guoliang took a pack of Yongguang cigarettes from Sun Jian and was very happy to be respected. Boss Sun was generous.
"Master Zhong, Qiming Bookstore plans to buy a minivan to deliver books from the warehouse to six chain bookstores. They want to find a young driver in this area who has graduated from junior high school, is honest, reliable, and can endure hardships. He will work six days a week, starting at eight in the morning. From 3:30 to 4 p.m., one hour break at noon, 70 yuan a month, and a monthly subsidy of 10 yuan for lunch. Qiming Bookstore is very profitable, and there are monthly bonuses, year-end bonuses and material for New Year and holidays. Could you please introduce me to one? reliable?"
"Boss Sun, my youngest son Zhong Xiaobing graduated from high school and is an honest man. Do you want him?"
Boss Sun and Chen Xuemei were both shocked. They really do not shy away from relatives in favor of virtuous people.
"Boss Sun, my youngest son graduated from high school but did not go to college, so he joined the army. When he came back from demobilization three years ago, he took over my class and worked here for 40 yuan a month. He was a soldier in the army. Jiefang brand, the factory is not very profitable now, and the living expenses of twenty yuan a month are often not paid. He also wants to find a driving job, but who has a car to drive for him? "
Zhong Guoliang, who has rich life experience, knows that the opportunity for his younger son has come, and he must seize it. Although Jiangcheng Qiming Bookstore is an individual bookstore, there are six chain bookstores, and they rent such a large warehouse for 600 yuan a year. , the price has not been repaid, and they have rented for three consecutive years, and they plan to buy a truck to deliver books. It turns out that Boss Sun and Manager Chen are people who are doing big things.
"Where is Master Zhong's youngest son now?"
A matter that seems very troublesome to solve can be solved in just one sentence without a pack of cigarettes.
"Boss Sun and Manager Chen, please wait here for five minutes. I'll call him over to see you?"
-------
"Boss Sun, Manager Chen, my name is Zhong Xiaobing. I am willing to work with you. I am not afraid of hardship."
Not long after, Zhong Guoliang ran over with a young man about twenty-five years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a burly figure. From his appearance, he knew he was Zhong Guoliang's son.
"Comrade Zhong Xiaobing, are you married?"
"Boss Sun, we're married. We have a one-year-old daughter."
"Comrade Zhong Xiaobing, what does your lover do?"
"Boss Sun, he also works in this cardboard factory."
"Comrade Zhong Xiaobing, if you resign and work with me, will Director Xing have any objections?"
"Boss Sun, please rest assured. Factory Director Xing is a good man. The factory can't even pay basic wages now, and he can't think of a good way. He wants us to find a good job outside!"
"Comrade Zhong Xiaobing, your father told you about the conditions offered by Jiangcheng Qiming Bookstore?"
"Boss Sun, I have no objection!"
"On behalf of Qiming Bookstore, I would like to welcome Comrade Zhong Xiaobing to join. I will report to Manager Chen at Qiming Bookstore in Gangcheng tomorrow and follow Manager Chen's arrangements."
"Thank you, Boss Sun!"
"Boss Sun and Manager Chen, can you please come to our house for a light meal at noon?"
"Thank you, Master Zhong. It's better to be respectful than to obey!"
Zhong Guoliang told his son to run back and prepare, locked the door himself, and led the way.
-------
Passing by a department store, Boss Sun asked Zhong Guoliang and Chen Xuemei to wait a moment. He went in and bought two bags of Yangzijiang milk powder, a carton of Yongguang cigarettes and five kilograms of Guoguang apples, and came out with a net bag of things.
"Boss Sun, you are so polite!"
"Master Zhong, Xiao Bing is now my employee, so please don't see me outside!"
Zhong Guoliang was very touched. Boss Sun was willing to come to his house for dinner. This was a sign of respect. He also gave his family a big gift. He was a generous man. He felt relieved that his youngest son would work with such a boss.
Chen Xuemei did not expect that Sun Jian would agree to be a guest at the home of Master Zhong, whom she had just met. After thinking about it, she sighed in her heart that Sun Jian was much more mature than her. The boss and his employees could get along well, either by paying regular attention and greetings, or by visiting the door to buy things. A gift that both adults and children have considered.
"Master Zhong, we have a visitor at home!"
"Xiao Wang, this is Boss Sun and Manager Chen from Jiangcheng Qiming Bookstore. My little soldier has found something to do!"
"Congratulations, Master Zhong!"
…
Sun Jian carried his things and walked side by side with Chen Xuemei. He followed Zhong Guoliang and walked more than 500 meters. He walked through an alley and came to a group of one- and two-story brick houses. There was no plan, but they were in good order. Zhong Guoliang greeted the neighbors along the way, opened Yongguang cigarettes and offered them in tribute, with a smile on his face.
"Auntie, excuse me!"
"Boss Sun and Manager Chen are so polite!"
What greeted him at the entrance of the alley was Zhong Guoliang's wife, holding his one-year-old granddaughter. He took the net bag with both hands and thanked her repeatedly. Zhong Guoliang stepped forward and hugged his granddaughter.
"Boss Sun, Manager Chen, please sit down and have tea!"
There are four large tile-roofed houses with kitchens. There is a leafy camphor tree in the yard, which exudes a refreshing fragrance. A large round table has been set up in the yard. My wife placed gifts on the table and greeted the two of them.
"excuse me!"
"Boss Sun and Manager Chen are distinguished guests!"
Zhong Dabing and his lover Li Aizhi, wearing bibs, walked out of the kitchen and greeted each other with smiles.
"Boss Sun, Manager Chen, my eldest brother and Zhong Dabing are first-class chefs at the Zhonghua Road Hotel and are very good at cooking. This is my sister-in-law Li Aizhi, a waiter at the Zhonghua Road Hotel."
