Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 103 Chapter 102 Lin Zhe’s parents are excited, this brings honor to the family!

In addition, although it is winter now and we cannot plant trees or start work for the time being, some personnel preparations can already begin.

After all, this is a rural area, and the labor force of each household could stay at home for longer time because of the construction of Zhetong No. 2 Factory.

But after the New Year, everyone will go to different parts of the country to start working.

Such life is very hard, and far away from home, relatives and friends. No one would be willing to do this if it wasn't for the purpose of making a living.

But in the adult world, there is no choice of whether to be willing or not. Most people can only helplessly do what they can and cannot do.

Even if you work hard outside for a year, at least you can bring money and things home so that your family can have a good New Year.

The annual living expenses and tuition fees for the elderly and children in the family are guaranteed, and I can also save some money.

But if they stay at home, there will be no jobs, and there are few companies in the town that can provide them with positions. There is no hope for them to live on one acre and three mu of land, and at most it is enough to make a living throughout the year.

……

Lin Zhe has been to the town before, and he knows the difficulties faced by his peers.

In any case, according to my estimate, the town’s forest farm now needs at least 20 forest rangers.

The reason why there are so many people is that they are not only responsible for daily forest protection, but also for planting trees and daily watering, etc., including picking leaves in the future.

The workload is still huge, and it seems like not enough people to be responsible for such a large barren mountain.

If we decide on the personnel now, it won't delay everyone's arrangements after the New Year.

Otherwise, if the announcement is not made until after the Chinese New Year, people will have to postpone their departure in order to compete. If they still cannot compete, they will have to go out to work, which will delay things.

So Lin Zhe finally decided to ask Wang Wenming to help him find suitable people in Shima Town and its subordinate villages, a total of twenty people.

The local newspaper submitted a list, and then Zhetong Electric Power sent people to verify and confirm it.

……

Pazigou Village, Shima Town.

The place names here are not as exquisite and grand as those in big cities; they are just random.

Even the villagers of Pazigou themselves don’t know why the village is called Pazigou.

Li Fanbing, a local villager, has a very ordinary name.

Sometimes when he gets drunk he would joke with his friends that if his parents had named him Li Tianbing, he might not be as ordinary as he is now.

He was lucky this year. With his two years of experience as a soldier, he found a job as a security guard in a high-end residential complex in Guangdong Province. After working for half a year, he saved up 20,000 yuan.

Then he was squeezed out by his cousin brought by the team leader, and went to the construction site to tie steel bars for a while. This was much harder than being a security guard, but he didn't earn much more money. He only got a little over 25,000 yuan.

Later, I heard from the villagers that the Zhetong Electric Power Group was going to build a factory in their city, a large factory.

The salary was good in the past, and I could still work for a few more months before the Chinese New Year.

So Li Fanbing packed his luggage and took a green train for two days and one night to return to Quanhe City. To use the fashionable term on the Internet, this is called running away with a bucket.

Li Fanbing actually brought a bucket, which he used to wash clothes, wash his hair and store things on the construction site.

Sixteen each, bought at the grocery market in Tianhe.

The quality was good, so Li Fanbing couldn't bear to throw it away and brought it back. Many people in the construction site dormitory of Zhetong Power Plant No. 2 had seen his big red bucket.

……

The treatment is really good, the food is good and the salary is high, and the most important thing is that you can feel respected when working here.

Therefore, the few months at the Zhetong construction site are considered by Li Fanbing to be the best memories of his working career.

Although the job as a security guard in an upscale residential area was easy for him, he could stand still for a long time and the salary was high.

But he always felt something was strange during his time there.

Those women who were dressed fashionably and had exquisite makeup always passed by him as if they were passing through the air. Only the smell of perfume left behind made him know that someone had really passed by.

There was also a woman who often wore red clothes and was as fat as a bucket. She often asked herself to go to the parking lot to help her carry various things upstairs.

At those times she would say "Thank you, young man".

But when she passed by the gate again, she would ignore him and walk out chatting and laughing with those rich ladies.

None of the male owners have ever spoken a word to me, and when they drive and ask for the barrier to be raised, there is always a "beep" sound.

The speaker replaces the mouth in communication.

This is normal and it’s no big deal. Most of my colleagues are used to it.

But Li Fanbing felt that this shouldn't be the case. Maybe the fat woman who often asked him for help could nod at him occasionally when passing by him.

……

"Fan Bing? What are you thinking about?"

Li Fanbing turned around from his daydreaming when he suddenly heard a sound. It was his friend from the same village. He smiled and took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Thinking about random things, what's wrong?"

"I'm going to kill a pig later. Come over and help me. We can have a meal and some drinks then."

It's like this in the village. When your family needs someone, you should let them know. When my family needs someone, you should also not be absent. After agreeing, the friend left, and Li Fanbing also walked back into the house from the threshold.

I have saved tens of thousands of dollars this year, and I plan to go to a better place to work for a year next year and then come back to build a house for my family.

His family still lives in a mud house, which is rare in the village.

But there is nothing I can do. My mother is bedridden all year round, so let alone making money, it is good news if I can spend less on medicine.

My father lost an arm while working when he was young, and now he can only do simple work in the fields and barely earn a few bucks for noodles.

I also have a younger sister who is in her third year of high school. She is doing well in her studies, but her living conditions are too difficult.

Occasionally, when he heard his colleagues telling dirty jokes and talking about their experiences of going to certain places, he thought that if he was handsome enough to be a gigolo, that would be a perfect "resume".

Such days were so hard that sometimes Li Fanbing would think of the joke at the dinner table, that he wished he was a celestial soldier. Although he might not be able to fly on the clouds and look majestic, he could at least build a solid concrete house for his family.

……

After dinner, I worked at home in silence with my father. The New Year is coming soon, so we have to reinforce the roof to prevent water from dripping when it snows heavily.

My mother is in bed and my sister is still in school in the county. They are in their third year of high school and are taking extra classes during the holiday.

Just as the father and son were mixing the mud, someone walked towards his house. It was the village party secretary.

"Fan Bing? Are you working? Come down quickly and I have something to tell you."

I have dealt with the branch secretary when applying for poverty alleviation subsidies in recent years. He is a very nice person in the village.

Hearing his call, Li Fanbing also slid down from the roof nimbly.

"Uncle Wang, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. You know about Zhetong Electric Power, right? They want to build a forest farm in the town and need forest rangers. Now the town has given them a quota. I also know your family's situation, so I wanted to tell you if you want to apply for it?"

Everyone knows how the Zhetong Electric Power Group treats employees, and being a forest ranger is a stable position as long as the forest farm is there for them to work.

The key is that it is right in town, so you don’t have to travel far and you can always take care of your family in town.

……

Three days later, as the quotas of each village were reported, the Human Resources Department of Zhetong Electric Power Group also began the verification.

There is no educational requirement for this position, and it can be said to be a rare opportunity with some benefits.

So Lin Zhe told Wang Wenming at that time that he should try to leave opportunities for those who needed the job more.

Not only will their village submit the list, but the group will also send people to verify it.

Including Li Fanbing, a Buick drove to their Pazigou that day, and then several people got out to visit their home.

……

In Lin Cheng Lin Zhe's office, there was a list on the table.

This is the final list of forest rangers in Shima Town Forest Farm, a total of twenty people.

"Have you made sure that you have interviewed all 20 people? Are there any problems with their work and character? Are there any who come from poor families?"

In response to Lin Zhe's question, Zhang Yuliang nodded seriously.

"Confirmed, Mr. Lin, the HR department has checked all the people on the list from all aspects and confirmed that all twenty people meet our requirements."

Since Lin Zhe was sure, he nodded, and the matter was settled.

Then Lin Zhe had to go to the city today. There was a political and business cooperation meeting in the evening. The head of Quanhe was also attending, and he received an invitation.

Lin Zhe took the attitude of making the best of it regarding this matter.

I went there just to join in the fun, without expecting to gain anything substantial.

Qin Chengping, as the person in charge of the development zone, also rushed over from Fengxiang to show his support for him.

However, compared to Lin Zhe's indifferent attitude, Jiang Lan and Lao Lin were extremely excited.

In their eyes, this was a great thing. At least it meant that their son was officially recognized and could meet with someone of the level of the top leader of Quanhe City. Moreover, he was invited to meet with them. It brought honor to the family!
After all, Lao Lin, a junior clerk who joined the team halfway through, had never had the opportunity to attend a meeting of this scale in his life. When he was at home, he kept reminding Lin Zhe to be more serious.

……

Seven o'clock in the evening, Kumquat Hotel, Quanhe City.

Lin Zhe's Bentley slowly drove to the door, and then the waiter came up and opened the car door.

It’s true, Zhang Chen is a good guy and he stopped at the right time.

At the door, Qin Chengping had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Lin Zhe, he happily came forward to greet him.

He had come specially to wait for Lin Zhe, and now that he had arrived, they walked in together.

……

In this utilitarian world, everyone naturally gathers around those who can provide these, even though the businessmen who come here all have no less than tens of millions.

But most of the people there were official people. Qin Chengping, the director of the "run-down" development zone, naturally had few people around him. Only he and Lin Zhe stood together and chatted, and occasionally greeted people they knew.

In the distance, it was much more lively where Wang Wuyao, director of the High-tech Zone Development Office, was, with a group of people gathered there chatting.
