Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 910 Banggeng joins the company!

The next morning, Jia Zhang led Bang Geng to the gate of the steel mill. The security guard on duty at the gate saw Bang Geng beside Jia Zhang and immediately asked her, "Zhang Cuihua! Who is this young man to you? Why did you bring him to the factory?"

When Jia Zhang saw the security guard at the gate and heard his question, she immediately introduced him with a smile: "Comrade! This is my grandson Jia Geng. I brought him to the factory today to report. We had already made arrangements with Director Li yesterday."

When the guard heard what Jia Zhang had said, he showed an incredible expression on his face and asked Jia Zhang in surprise, "Zhang Cuihua! Our factory hasn't recruited workers for a long time. Are you really bringing your grandson to the factory to report? Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Zhang Cuihua heard the guard's question and saw his surprised expression. She quickly smiled and replied, "Comrade Bao! If this is true, you just need to call Director Li to find out. How dare I fool you about this?"

The guard heard Jia Zhang's answer and saw her serious expression. He said to her, "Zhang Cuihua! Then bring your grandson here to register first, and then bring him in to handle the formalities!"

Jia Zhang led Bang Geng to register in the guard room, then Bang Geng thanked the security guard and led Bang Geng towards the administrative building.

The guard watched Jia Zhang lead Bang Geng into the factory with an incredible expression on his face. He murmured to himself in confusion, "Isn't this Zhang Cuihua a cleaner in the logistics department? She doesn't have any connections in the factory. How could she arrange a job for her grandson in the factory?"

Jia Zhang led Bang Geng to the administrative building quickly. When she was about to take Bang Geng upstairs, she reminded him, "Bang Geng! When you meet Director Li later, you must know how to say hello to him."

Ever since the policy of forcibly sending people to the countryside was issued, Banggeng has been worried that one day he would become one of those people. So the job that Wu Aiguo arranged for him was equivalent to changing his fate in disguise. For this reason, he was in a very excited mood last night and only managed to fall asleep this morning.

At this time, Bang Geng was full of longing for the future, thinking that he would soon have a job and become a driver, one of the eight major employees. When faced with Jia Zhang's reminder, Bang Geng immediately replied, "Grandma! I know. When I see Director Li later, I will definitely say hello to him."

Soon, Jia Zhang led Bang Geng to the door of Li Huaide's office. When she saw Li Huaide sitting in the office, she reached out and knocked on the door, shouting respectfully, "Director Li! Good morning! I'm Zhang Cuihua from the logistics and sanitation team. Today I'm here with my grandson Jia Geng to see you to handle the entry procedures."

Li Huaide, who was reading a document, heard a knock on the door and instinctively looked up. He saw Jia Zhang standing at the door. He immediately recognized Jia Zhang's identity and said to her, "Zhang Cuihua! Right? Director Wu told me last night about your grandson Jia Geng coming to our factory to learn how to drive. You wait here for a while. I will arrange for someone to take you to the Personnel Department to handle the entry procedures, and then take you to the fleet. Then I will arrange for a master to teach your grandson how to drive."

When Jia Zhang heard Li Huaide's instructions, she thanked him gratefully: "Director Li! Thank you!" When Bang Geng heard Li Huaide's words, he thought of what Wu Aiguo had told him yesterday, and quickly took out the cigarettes Wu Aiguo had asked him to bring from his bag. He said to Li Huaide respectfully: "Director Li! These are the cigarettes my uncle Aiguo asked me to bring for you."

Li Huaide, who was about to make a phone call, heard Bang Geng's words and saw the white-skinned Zhonghua cigarettes Bang Geng had placed on his desk. His eyes suddenly lit up. He put the cigarettes in the drawer and said to Bang Geng happily, "Jia Geng, right? Since you call Director Wu uncle, you can call me uncle in private when no one is around. When you get to the fleet, learn from the master seriously and be diligent. When you master the driving skills, I will make you a regular employee right away."

When Bang Geng heard what Li Huaide said, he immediately followed suit and shouted, "Uncle Li! Thank you. I promise to learn driving skills from my master and will never embarrass you and my uncle Aiguo."

After hearing what Bang Geng said, Li Huaide reached out and pressed a phone on the desk. He shook the phone handle twice, picked up the receiver, and said, "Switchboard! Connect me to the office."

Not long after Li Huaide finished the call, a young man ran to the door of Li Huaide's office, panting, and asked Li Huaide respectfully, "Director! What's the matter with you calling me over?"

Li Huaide heard the young man's question and smiled and said to him, "Xiao Wang! This young comrade is called Jia Geng. From today on, he is an apprentice in our factory's fleet. Take him to the personnel department to handle the entry procedures, then take him to the fleet and ask Captain Chen of the fleet to arrange a skilled master for Jia Geng to teach him driving skills."

When Xiao Wang heard Li Huaide's instructions, he looked at Bang Geng and Jia Zhang's grandparents standing in the office with a surprised look on his face, and assured Li Huaide respectfully: "Director! I understand. I will take Comrade Jia Geng to go through the entry procedures now."

When Jia Zhang heard what Li Huaide had told Xiao Wang, she quickly thanked Li Huaide again: "Director Li! Thank you!"

After Xiao Wang led the Jia Zhang family out of Li Huaide's office, he smiled and asked Jia Zhang, "Auntie! If I remember correctly, you should be Zhang Cuihua from the logistics and sanitation team, right? Since you know our factory director Li, why didn't you tell me earlier? Then I can help you say hello to the head of the sanitation team and ask him to transfer you to another position."

After working in the steel mill for a few years, Jia Zhang was no longer the ignorant country woman she used to be. When Jia Zhang heard Xiao Wang's words, she did not take them seriously. She smiled and said to Xiao Wang, "Secretary Wang! It was Director Li who arranged for me to work in the sanitation group in order to take care of me. My work in the sanitation group is also very easy, and I don't need to change my position specially."

Under the leadership of Xiao Wang, Banggeng's entry procedures went very smoothly. Finally, after paying homage to a master in the team, Banggeng went to the logistics warehouse with Xiao Wang to receive his work clothes and labor protection supplies. After thanking Xiao Wang profusely, he happily left the steel mill with the labor protection supplies.
