After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Li Ruiming certainly wanted to work at Xu Bo'an's pharmaceutical factory, since such a large company offered excellent benefits and compensation. However, he had this idea when he first came to Dongjiang, but unfortunately, he was not hired when he applied.

Moreover, recently, many pharmaceutical factories in Dongjiang City have approached Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory requesting to be merged into its subsidiaries. Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory is now one of the largest pharmaceutical factories in Dongjiang City.

Moreover, the company not only offers good benefits but also provides employees with subsidized housing. Many unemployed people or those looking to change jobs want to work here, making the job competition quite fierce. Not to mention other positions, even cleaning staff are scrambling to work here. With so many people interviewing for the same position, the company will naturally select the best and most suitable person, so the competition is relatively intense, and the entry requirements are correspondingly raised.

Moreover, Dongjiang City is only a third- or fourth-tier city, not particularly large or small. Many employees at Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory have relatives and friends who would recommend them to their superiors.
This means fewer job openings will be available to outsiders. Therefore, for someone like Li Ruiming, who comes from out of town, has no acquaintances in Dongjiang, and whose own qualifications are not outstanding, it will be quite difficult for him to get a job at Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory based on his own abilities.

Therefore, Li Ruiming was quite happy to hear Xu Bo'an say that he could be assigned to the logistics department of Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory.

Xu Bo'an said to Li Ruiming, "Of course it's true. Just do your job well!"

Li Ruiming said to Xu Bo'an, "What I'm trying to say is, don't you really think I'll embarrass you?"

Xu Bo'an said, "Just do your job well. What's there to be ashamed of? Besides, even if I get you in, you'll only be able to start as a deliveryman. How well you do in the future depends on your own abilities. All I can do is provide you with a platform. As long as you don't mind that the position I'm assigning you is low, that's fine!"

Xu Bo'an and Li Ruiming grew up in the same village and often played together throughout elementary school. Back then, apart from his dislike of studying, Li Ruiming was a fairly honest and upright person, not the kind of person who would resort to tricks.

However, after junior high school, Xu Bo'an almost lost contact with him and didn't know if his personality had changed. Moreover, given his limited education and abilities, Xu Bo'an felt it was more appropriate to assign him to a position that suited him at present. As for what would happen in the future, that would depend entirely on his own abilities.

Although Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory is owned by Xu Bo'an, it's not right to just randomly assign positions to any of his relatives. It's better to choose positions that match their current abilities, which would benefit both the company and the individuals themselves.

Human nature is generally not able to withstand tests. When most people are suddenly promoted from the bottom to a certain height, they inevitably become arrogant and lose sight of their own limitations. They may start to act recklessly, especially towards their relatives. They may take advantage of the relationship with their relatives to act even more recklessly. Xu Bo'an's cousin was a living example. Xu Bo'an does not want such a thing to happen again.

Although Xu Bo'an has become successful, he also wants the people around him to live a good life with him. However, he cannot let them achieve success overnight; he needs to proceed step by step. Therefore, Xu Bo'an arranged such a position for his cousin after careful consideration.

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Li Ruiming quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't mind, I don't mind at all. How could I mind? To be honest, when I first came to Dongjiang, I planned to look for a job at Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory, but I didn't succeed in the interview. If it weren't for you giving me this opportunity, I wouldn't even have been able to get through the gates of Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory. Besides, I know my own limitations very well. I'm already very grateful that you gave me this opportunity!"

Upon hearing Li Ruiming's words, Xu Bo'an felt that Li Ruiming was still the same honest and simple person he had been back then. However, it would depend on his own behavior. He had better not turn out like his cousin, otherwise, it would be no different from ruining his own future.

However, it seems he is not a greedy person. Xu Bo'an said to his cousin, "As long as you have no objections, that's fine. I'll talk to Lin Kangtai about this later. If it's convenient for you to take a break from work now, you can report for duty tomorrow!"

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Li Ruiming looked at him with great joy and said, "My job as a food delivery driver is only temporary. I can quit at any time. I'll go back and resign to my boss, pack up, and get ready to report for duty tomorrow!"

Xu Bo'an said to Li Ruiming, "Okay, then you'd better work hard! That way, at least finding a wife won't be a problem. If you do well, you might even get a promotion, and life will definitely be even better!"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Li Ruiming chuckled and said, "It's already incredibly lucky that you've given me this opportunity to work at Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory. I don't even dare to think about promotion!"

Xu Bo'an smiled and said to his cousin, "You should always have dreams, what if they come true!"

Li Ruiming smiled at Xu Bo'an without saying anything. Xu Bo'an, seeing his cousin, suddenly thought of Teacher Hu, the private teacher who taught them in elementary school. The last time Xu Bo'an ran into Teacher Hu, he told him that he would visit him with his cousin Li Ruiming when he had time. Today, he happened to run into his cousin, so the two of them went to visit him together.

Then Xu Bo'an said to Li Ruiming, "Cousin, do you still remember our elementary school teacher, Mr. Hu?"

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Li Ruiming looked quite surprised and said, "Teacher Hu, of course I remember! Teacher Hu is the best and most responsible teacher I've ever met. I remember when I was in elementary school, I was sick once, and you were the first to notice. We told Teacher Hu, but back then, transportation wasn't as advanced as it is now..."
Without a word, Teacher Hu carried me for nearly ten miles, saving my life! If you hadn't found me in time, and if I hadn't met such a good teacher as Teacher Hu, I probably wouldn't be alive today. I've always remembered this, thinking of repaying him someday! I just wonder where he is now?

Xu Bo'an looked at Li Ruiming and said, "I know his current home address. You don't have to wait until one day. I can take you to see him today!"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Li Ruiming went from being surprised at first to being somewhat hesitant.

Xu Bo'an noticed the change in Li Ruiming's expression and said to him, "What? You don't seem to want to see Teacher Hu?"

Li Ruiming said, "No, it's not that I don't want to go. I will never forget his great kindness to me. I want to see him more than anyone else. I was also very excited when I heard you say you knew Teacher Hu's home address, but... but do you think it's okay for me to go see Teacher Hu like this?" Xu Bo'an understood what Li Ruiming meant after hearing his words. He was simply implying that Li Ruiming wasn't doing well enough. However, Xu Bo'an didn't say it directly. Instead, he said to Li Ruiming, "What's wrong with how you are now? As long as you're sincere in your heart, that's enough!"

Li Ruiming said, "I'm just a lowly courier now, and I feel ashamed to visit Teacher Hu now. Besides, I haven't been in Dongjiang for very long, and I don't have much money. I can't even afford to buy Teacher Hu a decent gift! Maybe I should wait a while before visiting him!"

Although Xu Bo'an had already guessed that Li Ruiming didn't want to visit Teacher Hu now because of this, Xu Bo'an pretended to know nothing and said to Li Ruiming, "So that's why you're not going to visit him. I think you're overthinking it."

Think back to when you were sick, Teacher Hu carried you nearly ten kilometers to see a doctor. Our family's financial situation was quite modest back then, yet Teacher Hu still cared so much for us. That's enough to prove that Teacher Hu isn't the kind of person who looks down on the poor. Now Teacher Hu is over sixty years old, and he seems even more kind and approachable.
If you're worried about your social status and don't want to visit him, I think that's unnecessary. As for buying a decent gift, don't worry about that; I'll pay for it!

Li Ruiming, who had been eager to visit Teacher Hu, said to Xu Bo'an after hearing his words of comfort, "Alright, then we'll go visit him together later. But consider the money for the things I buy as a temporary loan from you. I'll pay you back when I earn more money in the future!"

Xu Bo'an smiled and said to Li Ruiming, "What's there to repay? Buying a gift doesn't cost much, and I don't lack that kind of money right now!"

Li Ruiming said, "I know that with your current status and position, you certainly don't lack this money, but I also have to have principles. I can't take advantage of you just because you have money; that would be too dishonest!"

Xu Bo'an didn't take Li Ruiming's words seriously. After all, buying a gift to visit Teacher Hu wouldn't cost much. If it was too expensive, Teacher Hu would definitely not accept it. So, the gift would cost at most a few thousand yuan. For Xu Bo'an, who was not short of money, this was nothing.

But since his cousin had said that, Xu Bo'an was worried that his cousin might overthink things if he simply told him he didn't have to pay back the money, so he said to his cousin, "Okay!"

After resting at home for a while, the two went out together. Xu Bo'an first took his cousin Li Ruiming to a nearby supermarket to buy some gifts, and then, under Xu Bo'an's insistence, bought a decent set of clothes. Only then did Xu Bo'an drive his cousin Li Ruiming towards Teacher Hu's house.

It was already past 3 p.m. when they arrived at the neighborhood where Teacher Hu lived. After parking the car, Xu Bo'an and his cousin Li Ruiming carried the gifts they had just bought and walked towards Teacher Hu's house.

When they arrived at Teacher Hu's house, Xu Bo'an gently knocked on the door. Hu Yong'an, who was busy inside, heard the knock and quickly went to the door. After seeing Xu Bo'an through the peephole, he happily called out to his father inside, "Dad, it's Xu Bo'an!"

Just now, Teacher Hu was busy with her son Hu Yong'an when she heard Hu Yong'an say that Xu Bo'an had arrived. Teacher Hu quickly got up and walked towards the door.

After speaking with his father, Hu Yong'an quickly opened the door and warmly welcomed Xu Bo'an in. When Teacher Hu saw that Xu Bo'an was carrying so many things, he politely called Xu Bo'an by his nickname and said, "Erwa, I'm so happy that you've come to see this old man. Why did you bring so many things?"

Xu Bo'an turned his head and pointed to his cousin Li Ruiming behind him, saying to Teacher Hu, "I'm here with this man behind me to see you today! He bought all these things for you. Do you recognize him?"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Teacher Hu looked at Li Ruiming behind him. After examining him closely for a while, Teacher Hu said, "This kid looks very familiar! You see, I'm getting old, and my memory isn't so good anymore. I really can't remember who he is for the time being. Let me think!"

Xu Bo'an smiled and said to Teacher Hu, "Then you should think about it carefully!"

A moment later, Teacher Hu looked at Li Ruiming with a gleam in her eyes and said excitedly, "Oh, I remember now, isn't this Mingxiao?"

When Li Ruiming was a child, his parents called him "Ming Xiao," and over time everyone started calling him that. Li Ruiming excitedly said to Teacher Hu, "Teacher Hu, you guessed right, it's me!"

Then, Teacher Hu looked Li Ruiming up and down, took his hand and said, "Mingxiao, it's so nice to see you all today!"

Li Ruiming excitedly hugged Teacher Hu and said, "Teacher Hu, I never thought I would see you again after so many years! I'm so excited!"

Because Xu Bo'an had just told Teacher Hu that all these things were bought for him by Li Ruiming, Teacher Hu held Li Ruiming's hands in both of them and said, "Mingxiao, I'm so happy that you came to see me. It's too much of a formality to bring so many things!"

Li Ruiming looked at Teacher Hu and said, "Teacher Hu, we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. Moreover, you saved my life back then, and I have always remembered it. How could I come to see you and not give you something in return!"

Teacher Hu said, "I am a teacher, and I should be responsible for my students. This is our most basic duty as teachers, and this little thing is nothing to worry about!" (End of Chapter)
