NOVEL NEXT Back to 2003
Chapter 063: The old man blocks the door
"Mr. Tang, can you drive?"
In the Audi, He Xiaodie touched here and there excitedly, while Chen Lingyun was sweating profusely.
As far as he knew, Tang Qinghua had just reached adulthood and most likely did not have a driver's license.
"Yes, I have a car at home!"
Tang Qinghua nodded confidently and turned the steering wheel with one hand.
The car moved smoothly on the road. Chen Lingyun had nothing to say and could only hold the armrest tightly.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and we arrived at the Asuka headquarters in less than 10 minutes.
This is a large garden covering an area of [-] acres. There is a century-old yellow horn tree on both sides of the gate. Its lush branches stretch out horizontally, guarding the entire gate under the shade of the tree. Dots of sunlight shine through the leaves, speckled, So beautiful!
Walking into the courtyard, you are faced with two rows of thick ginkgo trees, with golden leaves covering the ground, which looks very poetic.On both sides of the ginkgo tree, there are patches of lush trees, including camphor, paulownia, cherry blossoms, and even a small piece of mangosteen on the side, and there is a piece of wintersweet next to it.
"This is simply a botanical garden!"
Tang Qinghua couldn't help but admire: "The flowers are fragrant and the trees are shady. It's so beautiful!"
"It's very beautiful, but it's a bit messy, even the road is covered by grass!"
He Xiaodie nodded, she liked it here very much.
Coming in from the door, it is divided into three roads: left, middle and right. They are all paved with stones, but grass comes out of the cracks in the stones and covers the road.
"We need to find someone to repair the yard, pave the road with bricks, and install street lights on the roadside. These trees must also be built, and they must not be left desolate soon."
Tang Qinghua smiled and said, "Where can I find such a good yard in the future?"
"Mr. Zhao has an idea, but he doesn't have time. As soon as he came here, he encountered the cooperation between 5177 and 17173... Besides, we have just moved to Xidu, and it is difficult to find a gardener if we are not familiar with the place." He Xiaodie whispered. Explain for Zhao Zhuoyan.
"Well, don't rush, take your time!"
Tang Qinghua didn't mean to blame Zhao Zhuoyan: "How is life here?"
"Everything else is fine. It's just that you have to travel a long way to eat. It's hard to take a taxi when you go out. You have to wait for a long time for the bus... I picked you up yesterday and I waited for a taxi for more than half an hour." He Xiaodie couldn't help but complain slightly. : "There is a small supermarket opposite the factory gate, but daily necessities are seriously lacking... I have to travel a long way to buy a bathroom!"
This area is under development, there are only a few buses, and the living facilities are not perfect!
"That's a problem!"
Tang Qinghua nodded and silently wrote it down.
About 50 meters inward, there is a small square. On the edge of the square are two three-story green brick buildings. Dense ivy covers most of the wall, which is obviously old.
When Tang Qinghua and others arrived, there were several old people blocking the building.
"Uncle, what's the matter with you?"
Tang Qinghua got out of the car and took the initiative to ask.
"It's okay, they just take a look..."
Seeing Tang Qinghua get out of the car, an old man spoke quickly.
Tang Qinghua: "Let's take a look? Oh, are you former employees of the cannery?"
The man in the white shirt: "Yes, they are all retired employees of the cannery. They live to the west of the factory. I heard that a new factory was stationed here, so they all came to take a look... I am the guard here, are you?"
If the guard doesn't watch the door, what are you doing here?
Tang Qinghua was speechless. It seemed that the garden also had its disadvantages. Unlike the office building where there was a dedicated guard, Feiniao was a big company worth tens of millions after all. The security work needed to be strengthened!
Seeing that Tang Qinghua didn't answer, an old man said, "Young man, are you an employee of this factory?"
Tang Qinghua: "That's right!"
The old man said: "What does your factory do? Are you still hiring?"
Tang Qinghua: "I'm sorry, uncle, our company... our factory belongs to the high-tech industry. Although we are still recruiting people, we only need young people who are educated and understand computers!"
Another uncle stared: "What do you mean? Didn't you say at least ten jobs? Why did you change your mind again?"
And the uncle boasted: "Could it be that our cannery's garden was just given to them for free?"
Another uncle put his hands on his hips and said, "That's not possible. We have been tricked. Go to the government building to find someone!"
Tang Qinghua: "..."
Uncle, you are all my uncle!
Facing a group of uncles, he didn't dare to say nonsense. If he pissed off these retired old men, they would make this place unclean.
Tang Qinghua: "Uncle, the ten jobs we promised to the government will definitely be provided. We now have nearly a hundred employees. We will build a canteen, need kitchen chores, need cleaners, need security personnel...but they can't be too old. , no more than 50 years old.”
Uncle: "We are all serious workers. Are we allowed to do this?"
Tang Qinghua: "There is no distinction between high and low in work!"
Uncle: "How much is the salary?"
"Different jobs, different pay!"
Tang Qinghua felt guilty and answered bravely: "As long as you are diligent and willing to work, the salary will be no less than 1200 yuan for men and no less than 1000 yuan for women. There will also be bonuses at the end of the month... If you have skills, such as chefs, gardeners, veterans , the salary starts at 2000 yuan, including bonuses, the salary is no less than 2500 yuan, but you can’t be too old.”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the uncles suddenly lit up!
When the factory closed down the year before last, the average worker's salary was 800, and the official salary was only about 1500!
Now that this new factory is coming out, you can get more than 1000 just by working as a security guard?Chefs and retired soldiers can still get 2500 yuan... What kind of new factory is this? The treatment is so good?
Uncle No. 38: "My son is [-] years old. He has served as a soldier for four years and is in good health. Can he work as a security guard?"
Uncle No. 33: "My daughter-in-law is [-] years old. She has learned to be a chef and her cooking is delicious. Can she come?"
Uncle No. 42: "My eldest daughter is [-], can she be a cleaner?"
Tang Qinghua breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Fortunately, these gentlemen are still reasonable!
"Gentlemen, whether you can come to work and what your salary and remuneration will be depends on the specific situation."
He thought for a while and then said: "Let's do it this way. Anyone who wants to find a job can come here tomorrow morning and we can talk about it then."
"It's fine, no problem!"
The uncles nodded repeatedly and quickly found reasons to leave.
They were not idle and immediately went out to look for someone. This factory was close to home and the salary was quite high. They had to find a way to get in.
……
After sending all the uncles away, Tang Qinghua went upstairs.
Zhao Zhuoyan was not in the building, so she called and found out that she had gone to buy toiletries for her parents.
"Comrade Zhao, in view of your hard work, the company has assigned you a car."
Tang Qinghua said loudly on the phone.
"What did you say... bought a car? Where is it, the company... don't move, I'll be right over!"
Zhao Zhuoyan was instantly excited when he heard this.
Ten minutes later, the girl hurried back. When she saw the brand-new Audi A10 downstairs, she screamed like a child!
"Ah ah ah, the top-of-the-range Audi A6 costs more than 50 yuan, Xiao Tang's shoes, you are so good!"
Looking at the black Audi, Zhao Zhuoyan's eyes glowed with gold.
Even though she is a girl, she has a soft spot for cars.However, cars are not cheap, and now her salary is not low. She has never thought about buying a house, but she has always wanted to buy a car.
"What are you thinking about? This is not for you!"
Tang Qinghua quickly blocked the car.
"What do you mean? You..."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhuoyan burst into tears: "You are bullying people!"
"Why did I bully you? This is the company reception car. You are a senior girl, you drive an Audi A6, and you are given a red Honda Accord." Tang Qinghua couldn't stand it anymore, he was already in his twenties. , he is a great general manager, and he still resorts to crying, making trouble, and hanging himself!
"Honda Accord...yeah yeah, where is it!"
Zhao Zhuoyan instantly turned his sadness into joy and cheered with joy.
In the era of 2003, the first choice for female car owners was the Honda Accord. It was the best-selling car for women and second only to the BMW Mini in its appeal to girls. However, this thing is not cheap. Even if Zhao Zhuoyan earns 1 yuan a month, he still wants to buy it. One car will take several years.
"The car hasn't arrived yet. You can use these two temporarily tomorrow...but the driver is a problem. How about borrowing one from County Magistrate Wang?"
With how well Qingliu County takes care of Feiniao, it will definitely be no problem to borrow a driver.
"No need to—"
Zhao Zhuoyan suddenly became arrogant, took off his high heels, and sat directly in the car: "I forgot to tell you, my mother is a driving school instructor for ten years. During the summer vacation of my sophomore year, I went home to take the driver's license test, and I was worried about not having a car. It's driving...I'm going to go refuel, bye!"
The car roared and disappeared in a flash!
"..."
Tang Qinghua was stunned.
I didn't see it,
The gentle and delicate Miss Zhao,
There is such a wild side!
Hastily!
……
The next day, in the morning.
"Ding Ding Ding-"
He remembered the phone ringing, and Zhao Zhuoyan picked it up in confusion.
"Xiaoyan, we are boarding the plane soon, you have to come pick us up!"
On the phone, there was a gentle woman's voice.
"Mom, it's only after six o'clock, and there are still nearly four hours left. It's rare for me to have a day off. Do you need to wake me up so early?" Zhao Zhuoyan pouted angrily.
Although she was very angry, she still got up, washed herself carefully, ate a bowl of cross-bridge rice noodles, and tasted her breakfast carefully. However, when she arrived at the airport, it was still just nine o'clock and she had to wait for more than an hour.
No way - it's too close to the airport!
After finally staying up for an hour, I finally saw my parents at the exit!
"Dad, Mom, here!"
Zhao Zhuoyan was very happy and kept waving his hands.
A middle-aged couple came out. The man had a gentle face, elegant air, and a sense of being a scholar; the woman was tall, pretty, and looked to be in her 40s.Zhao Zhuoyan inherited the appearance of a woman, but also has the elegance of a man. No wonder he looks so outstanding.
In front of the two of them, he lost his usual arrogance and cheered, like a child who had not grown up!
"Mom and Dad, today I will take you to the Kuanzhai Alley, and tomorrow we will go to Du Fu Thatched Cottage..."
Zhao Zhuoyan had already planned his itinerary.
"Oh, I'm tired from flying, so let's take a rest first!"
Zhao's mother pretended to be tired and did not respect her arrangements.
Zhao Zhuoyan: "Then let's go to the hotel first?"
Mother Zhao: "Which hotel should I go to? How much does it cost? Can't I go to your dormitory?"
Zhao Zhuoyan: "It's okay, your daughter still has some money."
Father Zhao: "That's not necessary. Dad came to Xidu this time. Firstly, he came here to take a look, and secondly, he took a look at your work... I don't know what your boss thought about moving from the prosperous Guangzhou to Xidu. , you are still moving here, you are stupid!"
In the Audi, He Xiaodie touched here and there excitedly, while Chen Lingyun was sweating profusely.

"This is simply a botanical garden!"
Tang Qinghua couldn't help but admire: "The flowers are fragrant and the trees are shady. It's so beautiful!"
"It's very beautiful, but it's a bit messy, even the road is covered by grass!"
