Revival Road

Chapter 168 Ye Mei's Relationship Problems

Ye Mei stayed in her duty room and watched. After Jia Jianxin left, she took the jujube cake she brought from home and knocked on Tao Tang's door bravely.In fact, she goes into this room at least once a day (for cleaning), but she basically has no chance to go in when Tao Tang is around.Especially recently, some leaders always come to see Tao Tang every night.So close at hand, she didn't even have a chance to talk about herself.

Red Star Factory has already started to clear out temporary workers. Xiao Yang from the same village who worked as a temporary worker in the property company has already left. It is said that he was cleared from the logistics service unit. The guest house must be the first batch of units to deal with it.In fact, Jia Jianxin has already greeted her, but this time he was very polite, saying that the company has already issued a document, and you must be the object of cancellation.But I am willing to keep you because you have done a good job.I don't care if I can stay or not, you understand?
Ye Mei understood what Jia Jianxin meant.She understood better why Jia Jianxin was being polite to her.She knew that as long as Mr. Tao said a word, her worries would be nothing at all.That's why she deliberately established a friendship with Fang Ke.

Fang Ke said that he had told Mr. Tao about himself, but what Mr. Tao meant was that only by going to the workshop could he stay in Red Star and become a member of Red Star.This disappointed her greatly.She knows what's going on in the workshop. The rows of cold machines make a heart-pounding roar, and you have to yell loudly when you talk to people. Working in that kind of place is not to mention dangerous. There is no place to sit, not to mention the salary, the environment makes her hate it.To be honest, it is better to go home than to be a worker in the workshop.

Ye Mei knocked on Tao Tang's door.After a long time, Tao Tang opened the door, holding a towel in his hand, as if he had just come out of the bathroom, "Hey, it's you... What's the matter? Come in."

"This is the jujube cake made by my mother, I'll bring it to you to try..." Ye Mei entered Tao Tang's air-conditioned room, feeling refreshed.

"I said don't bring me anything, I'm not a child... are you going home today?" Tao Tang threw away the towel, opened the lid of the lunch box and took a look. It was really a jujube cake made of two pieces of yellow rice. Take it, you can keep it for yourself.”

"It's not something valuable...you don't like it? It's a pity that the dates are not fresh, they are from last year..."

"To be honest, I really like this stuff." Tao Tang smiled, "I ate it made by my grandma when I was a child, but I don't remember eating this thing since then... Isn't the yellow rice grown by your family? This thing seems to be only The mountains are planted”

"The yellow rice is grown by my uncle's family, absolutely green food..." Because she knew that he likes date cakes, "a piece of date cakes can't be considered a bribe, right?"

"Haha... Let's not take it as an example, I accept it... Well, what I said is not an example, but it's true, don't bring me anything in the future, ah, I can't eat it now, and this is a bit too much, I will keep half of it Make breakfast tomorrow morning”

"Then, you should heat it up in the microwave before eating, otherwise you will have a stomachache..." Ye Mei watched Tao Tang take out the bowls and chopsticks, put a small half of date cake into the refrigerator, and thought about how to follow this The man of his destiny spoke, and Tao Tang spoke first, "Xiao Ye, sit down, I just want to talk to you. Sit down."

Ye Mei sat on the chair that Jia Jianxin sat on just now.

"You can tell me, do you want to stay in the factory?"

"Yes……"

"Why didn't you just talk to me?"

"You are so busy, I have no chance... and dare not..."

"Haha, what are you afraid of me? What is there to be afraid of? Has the office told you about the factory's policy of dismissing temporary workers?"

"I told you... Director Jia told me..."

"It's a good thing to want to stay. Red Star also needs fresh blood. You came today, just to chat with you. Why do you want to stay in Red Star?"

"I like it here..." Ye Mei cheered up, staring at Tao Tang with big eyes, "Director Jia said that he has no right to let me stay and needs approval from the Human Resources Department. Can you send a message for me?"

"He's right. The company stipulates that all temporary workers in logistics positions will be cleared in principle. If you want to stay in the factory and become a regular worker, you can go to a front-line skilled position."

"I don't want to go to the workshop, so I want to stay in Xiaozhao..." Ye Mei became anxious immediately, "You are the factory manager, you can say anything about the Red Star factory, I beg you, just let me stay "

"Well, why do you stay in Xiaozhao as a waiter instead of going to the workshop to learn some skills? You know, the wages of front-line skilled personnel are much higher than that of your waiter in the guest house."

"I'm not here to make money!" Ye Mei's voice raised an octave unconsciously.

I originally thought that it was not the salary that could not let go of Red Star, but the lifestyle of Red Star.But now it has a new meaning.

Ye Mei admits that even though the village is much richer than before, the quality of life cannot be compared with that in the city.She is used to flushing toilets and bathing. The sanitation facilities at home are so outdated that she doesn't even want to stay at home.For this reason, she was often scolded by her father, saying that she had been wandering outside for two years and her heart was lost.But she felt that there was nothing wrong with her. Isn't it human nature to pursue a high-quality life?If the countryside is good, why does the country vigorously promote urbanization and regard it as a very important indicator?Working in Xiaozhao, Ye Mei learned to read the news, got used to reading newspapers, and has a good understanding of current affairs and politics.The salary of Red Star is not high, but their life is better than those in the village. Therefore, facing the questions and criticisms of her parents, Ye Mei plausibly explained her reasoning: I would rather live in the comfort of the common people in Red Star, where the wages are not high. I don't want to live a clean life, and I don't want to live the so-called affluent life in the village.There is an explanation for this sentence, that is, there used to be quite a few well-run enterprises in Yangcunpo where she lived, and the salaries offered were much higher than that of Red Star. Ye Mei's father asked her to go back to work several times, but She is determined not to do it.But now the situation has changed. The enterprises in the village, including the construction team where her father works, have been in a very bad situation this year, and have not been able to get any jobs.

Ye Mei went home on a day off today.The mother brought up her relationship and marriage.Compared with cities, young people in rural areas get married much earlier. It is very common for girls to marry at the age of 22 or [-].My aunt introduced a young man from a neighboring village to her, and my mother was quite satisfied with the basic situation of the other party, so she asked her to meet him.Ye Mei refused without hesitation, and told her mother bluntly, I decide my own affairs, so don't worry about me.Of course my mother knows what she's thinking, don't you just want to marry into the Red Star Factory?That's fine, as long as someone wants you.You are old and young, and you should understand some truths. People in the city look down on us farmers in their bones. Don’t think that you have capital because you are more handsome. People, it’s better to be more responsible...

Young people at Ye Mei's age basically don't listen to the clichés of their elders.It takes them a few setbacks in life to realize that clichés are often true, but usually too late, when everything is set and there is no chance to redesign life.

The same goes for Ye Mei.The family began to pay attention to her marriage, which made Ye Mei realize a major problem that she hadn't noticed before.In fact, Fang Kelai had already lifted the gauze that covered his eyes.

Ye Mei's emotional experience is relatively pale.When she was in middle school, she had a brief love affair. The other party was a good student in the class, and she was a poor student who was abandoned by the teacher.Because the school she attended was a middle school in the suburbs, "top students" were very precious, so her first love was suppressed by the teacher, who warned her not to seduce the other party and not to ruin other people's future.If nothing is heard, the school will contact the parents.

Her love died young.Apparently the shy boy had received the same warning, and for the note she tried to pass on (she didn't have a mobile phone at the time), the boy broke the appointment.Later, a girl who was close to her said that the boy had decided not to associate with him.This incident dealt a great blow to Ye Mei, didn't he seduce me first?Didn't he swear that he would love me forever?The book said it was true, all men are heartless!What's so great about studying well? !Pull it down, pull it down!
Since then, she has not talked about love again.When she was working as a temporary worker in the Red Star No. [-] Branch Factory, a young worker once expressed his affection for her and invited her to watch a movie, but she flatly refused.

At that time, she had understood a lot of truths, one of which was that people are born unequal. She, a girl from rural areas, was doomed to go through more hardships if she wanted to enter the city. Apart from what her parents gave her, she could still look past it. There is nothing outside the skin, no financial support, no education, nothing but body and appearance.And the only capital is precious, because the capital is small, so you must be extra careful.That young worker might be sincere, but he couldn't give him the result he wanted, and she could see clearly why he couldn't.Are there any children of the heads of the Red Star Company who climbed on the bed in the workshop?
Then she was spotted by the leader and transferred to Xiaozhao.Life showed her a side she didn't know existed before.She had just glimpsed the life at the top of Red Star's power. They could eat up two or three months of her wages for a meal, and she couldn't earn a pack of cigarettes for a day's work.Moreover, many leaders who are good enough to be her father looked at her so wretchedly, probably because she was recruited by Song Yue by name, and those people did not go too far.Not only that, but she was also forced to be a "spy".

This is the price she paid for leaving the front line by virtue of her figure and appearance.Ye Mei has many hobbies, reading magazines is one of them.She doesn't read books, but likes to read various colorful magazines. A short article told her the truth that there has never been a best-of-both-world thing in the world. If you get one, you lose the other.At that time, she regretted leaving the workshop. The environment of the workshop was poor, and the workers in the workshop were dirty and spoke vulgar words, but those people made her feel at ease.Xiaozhao's environment is good, and she is satisfied with her room and board, but she is not at ease.

Instinctively, she knew almost immediately the test she was about to face.Because of this, she was afraid, hesitant, and her mood was extremely complicated.In the end she decided to leave Xiaozhao, but something happened to Song Yue, and a major test of her life was canceled.

Then Red Star got a new owner, the middle-aged man with gray hair in front of him.She already knew his age. He was actually much younger than Mr. Song, but he looked old at first glance. That's right, it was because of his hair.He would be much younger if he dyed his hair black.He maintains a pretty good figure, probably due to his consistent exercise, and he definitely doesn't have the big belly of Mr. Song...

Red Star's new owner brought her a long-lost sense of security.She believed that as long as she looked into a man's eyes, she could tell what he was thinking and whether he had plans for her.Mr. Tao seldom looked at himself, even when helping him clean up the house, he seldom looked at himself, but was busy with his own affairs.That's good, at least you can work here with peace of mind.Then she discovered that Tao Tang and Song Yue were two completely different types of people, different in almost every aspect.First of all, Mr. Tao's politeness is not only polite to his colleagues, but also polite to the common people.He has enough respect for all the waiters in Xiaozhao. When he eats in the small restaurant (he eats in the big canteen most of the time, he only uses the small restaurant when he is with customers), he will always say thank you to the waiters and chefs .The same when she cleaned his house, and she was not allowed to do his laundry.He doesn't smoke, even if he treats guests, he is very frugal compared to Song Yue. The chef of the restaurant, Chef Zhang, once said that Mr. Tao is different from them. Because Mr. Tao came, his task is much easier. Red Star finally hoped for a visit Good leadership.She later found out that whenever Boss Tao treats guests or eats personally, he will definitely pay according to the price.there has never been.

It is precisely because of the respect for good officials that Ye Mei is ashamed to be a secret agent.That incident made her terrified, but Tao Tang not only did not blame her, but also protected her without hesitation when Jia Jianxin was about to clean her up, which made her very grateful.

The appearance of Tao Tang corrected Ye Mei's worldview in a sense.There are still good people in the world, not all high officials are like Song Yue.

Slowly, she learned about his life and family, met his daughter and "lover", and also learned about his wife from Fang Ke, and knew that Fang Ke was pursuing him, but he hadn't accepted it yet. For some reason, during Fang Ke's stay in Xiaozhao, she resumed her old career as a secret agent, secretly observing Fang Ke's relationship with Tao Tang.It turns out that men are not the same. There are really gentlemen who can sit still.

She found herself jealous of Fang Ke.She didn't know what the problem was until her mother offered to introduce her to a boyfriend.

This discovery made her terrified...

The jujube cake was made by her mother.Because when she listened to him chatting with customers in the small restaurant, she recalled her childhood and said that she liked to eat jujube cake...

"What are you thinking?" Tao Tang noticed that Ye Mei was distracted.

"Oh, oh, I wasn't thinking about..."

"Xiaoye, have you ever thought that your profession does not provide for the elderly, and it has no gold content. Even if you are a waiter for the rest of your life, what are you doing? Listen to me, if you want to become a regular employee of Red Star, go to the grassroots to learn some skills. Tao Tang seemed to think of something, "I have to make a few calls, so I'll be here today. In addition, I want to correct what you said just now. Although I am the head of a factory, I don't do whatever I want. The company's documents I have to take the lead in implementing it... It's not about retiring right away, but you have to be prepared, you can choose a type of work, the type of work you like...Okay, you go..."

Ye Mei almost cried out.
