The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 140: Please ask Master Jiang to die~
Bang bang bang~~
The pace is very fast.

Outside the house in the early morning, rain flowed along the roof tiles, then gathered at the eaves, and continuously hit the ground.

In the room, Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying were both awakened by the sound of rain hitting the roof.

The rain was quite heavy, otherwise even the roof of a tiled house wouldn't have made such a loud noise.

Summer is like this, either it doesn't rain, or it rains a lot, even if it lasts a long time. At least in elementary school textbooks, we have only heard of continuous spring rain, but never heard of continuous summer rain.

"Jiang Cheng, it's raining heavily outside. I'm going to get up and check on the chickens." Zhou Lingying said as she sat up.

"It's good that it's raining. It won't be so hot when driving." Jiang Cheng said while hugging Zhou Lingying. Only he, a Didi driver who had traveled through time and space, could understand how wonderful her graceful 18-year-old body was.

When men and women are of the same age, they actually cannot feel what tenderness is. Just like a man in his 50s or 60s will feel that a 30-year-old woman is very tender, and of course an 18-year-old is even more tender. But a 30-year-old will not feel that a 30-year-old woman is tender.

The two of them simply kissed for a while on the bed, then got dressed and got up. When they opened the door, they finally felt a cool breeze in the hot summer.

Zhou Lingying turned on the radio, and songs characteristic of this era came from the radio.

Jiang Changhe has to go to the hospital for treatment again today. Jiang Cheng can take them to the hospital when he drives to the office later.

The ground in Nanluoyuan is not made of cement, but of a layer of blue bricks. There are gaps between the bricks, but they are not big.

When rainwater falls to the ground, it flows in through the gaps and then flows to the low-lying drainage ditches on both sides. But under the brick floor, there is actually hard soil.

Then today, Zhou Lingying was delighted. She didn't know where the earthworms came from, but many of them were very large. Zhou Lingying picked them all up to feed the chickens. In the morning, she was worried about going out to the vegetable market to pick up rotten leaves.

If this happened in the future, some fairies would not be happy to see such a scene, but would probably feel scared and disgusted. Women in this era are indeed more vigorous. Because she raised chickens, Zhou Lingying could not tolerate insects.

The rain in summer is indeed heavy, but rarely lasts long. After breakfast, at about seven o'clock, the rain began to get lighter, and it would stop soon, but at least it brought a brief coolness to everyone.

Jiang Cheng stayed at home until 7:30 before taking his family to the hospital.

"Jiang Cheng, you have to go out this morning. Are you going home for lunch?" Zhou Lingying asked in the car.

"I should go deliver the goods. If I don't go home early at noon, I don't have to prepare my meal. I can eat in the company cafeteria." Jiang Cheng replied.

He just came back from a short trip, so it is impossible for him to delay the delivery time by saying that he had to check the car or refuel at work. He would definitely accept the order as usual this morning. If the loading time is early, he will set off directly. If the loading time is delayed until noon, maybe he will be treated to a meal.

Unless Jiang Cheng deliberately delays time, he will not go home for lunch today.

Changcheng Transport Station, Stationmaster's Office.

Although it was not yet the official working hours, Station Master Xu had already called two department heads to hold an emergency meeting.

One is Director Liu from the Logistics Department, and the other is Zhao Feng, the chief of the Personnel Department.

What they were discussing was the transfer of drivers to other units. Since it was a personnel transfer issue, there was naturally no need to call people from the finance, organization and other departments to attend the meeting.

The list of all drivers who deliver goods at the transport station is here in the office, with a total of more than 20 drivers. The transport dispatch in an urban area has more than 20 vehicles and more than 20 drivers, which may not even be as good as a medium-sized logistics company run by a powerful boss in the future.

But the fact is that the transport station mainly serves many small enterprises, such as meat processing plants, textile plants, steel plants, coal mines, etc. These large plants all have their own transport teams.

Last time Jiang Cheng delivered coal to the thermal power plant from the coal yard, he only delivered it once, and he also used the name of the coal plant. It's not that the coal plant has its own fleet, and the vehicles at the transport station don't carry coal. In some places, trains transport coal, and when they arrive at the place, they still send cars to the trains to carry the coal.

But in most cases, the truck transport station cannot transport many things. If there are delivery orders from meat processing plants and textile factories, the benefits of the transport station will not be bad.

Stationmaster Xu eliminated several unqualified drivers, who were basically those who had been formal drivers for less than three years, but there were only a few. Obviously, there was only one job for each person, and it took three years to find a few jobs. It was also possible that the transportation station had added more vehicles, which gave some apprentices who had studied for many years the opportunity to become drivers.

Now in the office, the three of them are using the process of elimination to arrange drivers for the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. They eliminate those who are not qualified, and then eliminate a few good drivers. They cannot give too good drivers to other units.

"Stationmaster Xu, I think we should stop trying to eliminate the problem and talk to all the suitable drivers individually. The most important thing is whether the drivers are willing to go there. You also said that the routes there are unstable, and there are no subsidies for running goods within the city. I really don't know who is willing to go." Director Liu said.

"Yes, I think what Director Liu said is right. Even if it is easier over there as you said, who doesn't want to earn more money? If you go there, the treatment will definitely not be as good as here, and this job will not be easy." Section Chief Zhao said.

In this day and age, you can't just obey the boss's orders when arranging work. If the nature of the work is the same, the salary will not be less, and you can do some ideological work. But it is obvious that the income will be lower than here if you transfer there, so how can you do ideological work?

You have to know that there are trade unions these days, and the trade unions are on the side of the workers. Even if your company is in trouble, you cannot force the workers if they don't want to.

"Since you said so, let's select a few people from here to do ideological work separately." Stationmaster Xu said as he lit another cigarette.

After hearing what Station Master Xu said, Director Liu and Section Chief Zhao knew that being called here so early in the morning was not a good thing. But they also understood that it was really difficult for Station Master Xu to go alone to discuss such a matter. Not only was it difficult to discuss, but the Supply and Marketing Cooperative also had a time limit.

At most, it would take about half a month for people to go there. There were many drivers working outside at the transport station, and even if they were working far away, they would definitely be back in half a month.

In the webmaster's office, three people began to select people to do ideological work.

When Director Liu got Jiang Cheng's information form, he directly put his form among the forms of those who did not meet the requirements.

"There's no need to think about Jiang Cheng. He has only been in our unit for more than a month, but he has brought a lot of good things to our unit." Director Liu said.

"Okay, Jiang Cheng is good, so let's not do his job. This comrade has a high level of ideological awareness." Stationmaster Xu smiled and said when he saw Director Liu doing this.

The coal blocks from last time and the wild boar from a few days ago. Whether they were directly distributed to the employees in the unit or the employees had to pay for them, at least they made the employees very happy and made everyone feel more at home in the transportation station.

Since both leaders said so, Section Chief Zhao of the Personnel Department naturally had no objection. As a section chief, he also got a lot of the things Jiang Cheng got.

If the drivers of the transport station do not leave the unit, there is actually no promotion channel. At most, the driver's skill level can be improved, from level 5 drivers to level 4 drivers. However, if they are level 4 drivers, without professional senior drivers' guidance and without any talent, it will be difficult for them to improve in local units.

Therefore, in the absence of other promotion channels, the drivers at the transport station are relatively selfish. If they get something outside, they will maximize their profits and will never bring it back to the company, just to make the company leaders remember their favors.

What's the point of asking for favors from the leaders of the company if you can't get promoted or anything like that? The workers have a stable job, so they don't have to worry about you making things difficult for them. If you punish the workers without a reasonable reason, they will call the union and the leaders may be removed from their posts.

Jiang Cheng handed the materials over to the unit for processing. Now the benefits came. At least the leaders of the transportation station did not plan to talk to him directly. But the other drivers were just talked to. They were unwilling, which was no different from Jiang Cheng.

Just as the three of them were still laughing at Jiang Cheng's "selfishness", the phone in the office rang. It was a call transferred from the telephone office.

Ten minutes later, Stationmaster Xu hung up the phone and fell silent.

Jiang Cheng has to do ideological work like other drivers, and he has to focus on his work.

Because the call was from Ouyang Chengfeng, the general manager of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, who specifically asked for Jiang Cheng. If Jiang Cheng went, they would need one less driver.

In other words, as long as the transportation station can persuade Jiang Cheng to go over, the driver dispatch issue will be resolved.

Stationmaster Xu told Director Liu and Section Chief Zhao about the matter. Director Liu silently put Jiang Cheng's information form back on the list of people who needed ideological work done.

They felt that this new employee probably didn't have a deep affection for the company. As for Jiang Cheng, he had brought a lot of supplies to the company, but no one could guarantee that he wouldn't become a seasoned driver like the other drivers, and he would deal with the things he got privately in the future.

The bus transport station is a formal unit and cannot be treated differently just because Jiang Cheng brought some things to the unit.

Several people in the office are a little puzzled. Why would the president of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative call and ask for someone by name? How does he know Jiang Cheng?

First floor, dispatch room.

"Sister Wu, this is the completed delivery order. Find me a nearby order today. I won't be traveling far before the end of this month."

"Master Jiang, Station Master Xu informed us yesterday that all drivers above level 4 should report to the Personnel Department when they return. You are a level 3 driver, so why don't you go to the Personnel Department first and then come to pick up the delivery order."

Arriving at the transport station, Jiang Cheng immediately went to the dispatch room to complete the delivery order handover and asked to continue running orders for nearby cities. But he didn't expect that after finally being active today, he was notified to go to the personnel department.

Jiang Cheng didn't think much about it. After confirming that there was no problem with the submitted form, he went to the Personnel Department.

"Master Jiang, you are here too."

"Master Huang, Master Li, you are here too. What's going on today? Is there an emergency mission?" As Jiang Cheng entered the personnel department, a colleague who was also a driver greeted him. He asked, somewhat confused about the situation.

Anyway, Jiang Cheng couldn't understand why Stationmaster Xu would specifically ask colleagues in the dispatching room to call the driver to the personnel department if there was no urgent transportation mission.

"Who knows? If there really is an emergency task, it would be so exhausting." said Master Huang.

"Yes, Master Jiang, don't talk nonsense. Some things are taboo in our industry and cannot be mentioned at all." Master Li echoed in a joking yet serious tone.

Jiang Cheng was of course just guessing. Generally, if a transportation station really had an emergency mission, it would basically be because a disaster had occurred somewhere, and a large amount of supplies were being transported there.

If a situation like that really happens, we have to drive at night, one car after another.

But if there is an urgent order in normal times, we can just find a driver to handle it, and we will never let a stationmaster come forward to give instructions to the dispatch room.

It must be said that the driver's place is indeed high. Jiang Cheng came to the personnel department and chatted with the two drivers. The clerk of the personnel department handed him a stool to sit on. Jiang Cheng also found that the stools that Master Huang and Master Li sat on were also the stools that the staff of the personnel department sat on in their offices.

Because the driver came over here and was waiting, the personnel clerk gave up his seat to the driver even though he did not sit down himself.

Jiang Cheng was not polite and sat on the stool to chat with the two masters about some interesting things.

The three of them didn't talk for long when another experienced driver came. It was almost the end of the month, and many drivers didn't know how to drive long distances, so there were more drivers in the company.

Not long after, Section Chief Zhao from the Personnel Department appeared, holding an enamel cup for drinking water in one hand and the driver's forms in the other.

"Master Jiang, you are here too." Section Chief Zhao said with a smile when he saw Jiang Cheng.

"Chief Zhao, I was in the dispatch room this morning, and the dispatcher said that all drivers above level four should report to the personnel department. Don't I need to come over?" Jiang Cheng replied a little puzzled. Moreover, there were several drivers here, but Chief Zhao just stared at him and talked, which made him feel a little unnatural.

In fact, it was right for Jiang Cheng to feel unnatural, because the three drivers around him also felt that Jiang Cheng was weird.

"Master Jiang, why don't you go to Stationmaster Xu's office first? Director Liu is still there." Section Chief Zhao continued to say to Jiang Cheng.

"Am I the only one here?" Jiang Cheng looked at the driver colleague beside him, then asked Section Chief Zhao for confirmation.

"Yes, you go first. The other masters will stay here with me. They may come over later." Section Chief Zhao confirmed and said affirmatively.

After hearing what Section Chief Zhao said, Jiang Cheng had no choice but to get up and leave, going to Stationmaster Xu's office.

As soon as Jiang Cheng showed up, the other drivers immediately asked Chief Zhao what was going on. Chief Zhao did not hide the situation from the three drivers and told them what he knew.

What this means is that the transport station must transfer two skilled drivers to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to form a new transport team, which will require the support of several units.

But over there, the benefits other than the monthly salary are better than here. After all, it is a supply and marketing cooperative, with soap, matches, towels, various tickets and so on.

If employees from other professions want to be transferred there, everyone will rush to go. But drivers don't care about the benefits. Besides, the transport station does have benefits, but they are relatively few.

When several drivers heard what Chief Zhao said, they said before he finished speaking that they would never go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. After working in one place for a long time, they get used to the freedom and will only change jobs if they are kicked in the head.

Section Chief Zhao had already guessed the result by looking at the attitudes of the drivers. When he was with Station Master Xu just now, he had thought about what to do if no one was around.

The drivers are all experienced and it is very difficult to persuade them. The only solution that can be thought of is to bribe them with benefits.

But now Section Chief Zhao will not tell the drivers in front of him. He has to see what the situation is like on Jiang Cheng's side first.

The plan he discussed with Director Liu and Stationmaster Xu just now was to persuade the two drivers by arranging a temporary or apprentice job for the driver's family at the transport station if they could not convince the master driver.

The transport station is already a bit bloated with employees. It can be said that two people are doing the work of one person, and four people are doing the work of two people but getting the salary of three people.

There are several people working on cleaning at the transport station. In the past, one person was responsible for a large area, which could be cleaned just in one day. Now, because there are so many people, one person is responsible for a small area.

The only advantage is that you can see cleaners in every area, and they can be found as soon as you call them. In the past, if you wanted to arrange for cleaners to clean a certain area, you had to go find them.

Several drivers in the personnel department now hope that Jiang Cheng will agree to dispatch them. Stationmaster Xu and Director Liu will talk to them later. Although they will definitely refuse, it will be a bit awkward at that time.

Jiang Cheng was in the stationmaster's office at the time and heard what Stationmaster Xu said, but Stationmaster Xu did not tell Jiang Cheng that he had been named by the president of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. One driver could replace two drivers, and he was afraid that telling the truth would increase Jiang Cheng's bargaining power.

"This is inviting you to die, sir~~." Jiang Cheng was sitting on a stool at this time, muttering to himself.

Jiang Cheng doesn't care about the treatment, but he can't pretend that he doesn't care.

There is a big difference between the supply and marketing cooperatives and the transportation stations. The transportation stations mainly deliver goods, while the supply and marketing cooperatives, if they are in the city, mainly distribute goods. In other words, to pull a truckload of goods, you may have to go to many ordinary supply and marketing cooperatives to replenish products.

There is basically no delivery outside the city, only to some units and factories to pick up goods, which is considered procurement. The difference between this and delivery at the transport station is that when purchasing, the truck is basically empty.

Another is to pull in goods that are transferred from foreign trade to domestic sales, which are basically pulled back from some ports. There are also some special products that cannot be transported by train because of the small quantity, so they may have to go to far away places to pull the goods.

For example, there are only a few TV sets produced in Tianjin, and if you don’t go there with your purchase quota, they won’t arrange for you.

Jiang Cheng was thinking about the pros and cons. He paid more attention to the holidays there. Also, when distributing goods, he would at most go to the county towns below, and going to the county towns would directly replenish the goods to the county's general supply and marketing cooperatives.

Jiang Cheng also wanted to deal with more supply and marketing cooperatives. In addition, Jiang Cheng also wanted to visit some ports.

It does limit the use of the golden finger. Except for the goods transferred from foreign trade to domestic sales, the others are basically accompanied by people. But it is indeed easier than the transportation station.

There are four days of rest a month, which is enough for Jiang Cheng to handle many things in this era. It is really useless to earn more money. Moreover, even if he agrees, he will have to report there half a month later.

"Forget it. I still owe wages to the company. Besides, I have an apprentice now. I am young and not afraid of hard work. I also want to stay here and earn more money." Jiang Cheng refused.

"The wages owed to the company are easy to deal with. If you agree to pay it, it will be considered a reward for your contribution to the company. All the wages owed will be waived in the form of rewards, and you can receive a full month's salary next month. Even if you only work ten days next month, you can still come to receive a full month's salary as usual the month after next." Stationmaster Xu said to Jiang Cheng.

Because this month's salary that Jiang Cheng owed had already been deducted, and he still owed two months' salary of 116 yuan. This meant that Jiang Cheng was willing to transfer to that company, and he was directly exempted from 116 yuan.

It is almost the end of the month now, and Jiang Cheng will be transferred there in half a month, so he will definitely have to work ten days. What Stationmaster Xu said now is that Jiang Cheng will work ten days in August, and he can come here to collect a month's salary when the salary is paid in September.

As for the matter of apprentice Feng Hua, Director Liu also said that he would coordinate it for Jiang Cheng and ensure that Jiang Cheng has no worries.

Jiang Cheng, who was sitting in the office, still shook his head. The main reason was that Stationmaster Xu was too generous in saying that he would reduce his debts. This benefit was not enough.

Seeing Jiang Cheng shaking his head, but not quite determined, Stationmaster Xu felt that he was not so undecided in his heart about not wanting to go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. So he winked at Director Liu, and the two continued to persuade him earnestly.

"Hey~"

After a long time, Jiang Cheng sighed in the office. Then he said a condition. The condition was very simple. He was fragile inside. If he agreed to go there, he would take a vacation to calm down.

If drivers are not given holidays and go out to deliver goods in a bad mood, they will end up sending themselves off as well.

The holiday is not just one or two days, but lasts until the day we go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

The rifle that the unit gave to Jiang Cheng cannot be taken back, so it has to be considered a gift to him.

These requests made by Jiang Cheng were trivial matters for Station Master Xu and Director Liu. In total, it was only two or three hundred yuan, which was much less expensive than arranging an apprentice to come in. If Jiang Cheng did not agree, Director Liu would eventually arrange for a family member to work part-time as a surrogate.

If Jiang Cheng's family doesn't have a suitable person to work as a temporary worker, they can actually sell it as a quota. Although it can't be compared with regular workers, it will still be very popular, because if some people with good family conditions have children who are facing the situation of going to the countryside, they will not be arranged to go to the countryside even if they have a temporary job.

It’s just that Jiang Cheng didn’t know the bottom line of Stationmaster Xu and Director Liu, and he had never thought of letting Zhou Lingying go to work, and no one else had considered it.

Jiang Cheng left the stationmaster's office somewhat disappointed, walked out of the office building disappointed, started the engine disappointed and got into the car. Then he raised his mouth in the cab. He could have a good time for a few days, and the car would be given to Jiang Cheng for three days. This was also one of the conditions. He had feelings for this Yellow River heavy truck and wanted to drive it for another three days.

Jiang Cheng is going to drive to go hunting, taking Zhou Lingying with him to go hunting, he is going to go hunting in the wild~~.

　6 words is equal to the number of words in three chapters. I have been feeling a little weak lately and don't have the energy to divide the chapters.
