Back to 1979: Sending the Educated Youth’s Wife Back to the City

Chapter 113 Communicate one by one

Fang Mingche thought it was okay to eat other snacks, such as spinning a candy man or something. But the ice cream was too cold, and the stomach of a three-year-old child couldn't handle it.

Not to mention ice cream, she was not allowed to drink cold water sold on the street. Who knows if it is really boiled water that has been cooled? And is the dye harmless?
Of course we have to catch her in the act, otherwise the little girl will make a fuss. Why did you take away all her pocket money?
At this moment, Fang Mingche walked out and saw Yanyan sitting silently under the eaves in a navy skirt. She looked at him aggrievedly and didn't even listen to the radio that she usually liked to listen to. When Fang Mingche was not listening to English, the radio was usually used by Yanyan.

The young lady from the compound was at the half-moon gate, pushing the two locked doors as wide as possible, "Fang Shuyan, do you want to come over and play?"

Fang Mingche ignored his daughter and walked straight towards the slum.

Yanyan saw that pretending to be pitiful was useless, so she pouted and followed. Dad is easier to talk to than mom. Dad doesn't even let her eat ice cream, and mom won't do that either! After a few days, she will ask dad to return the pocket money.

Then she should go play. Otherwise, she would have nothing to play and nothing to eat, which would be even worse!

Fang Mingche looked at the short figure beside his legs and couldn't help but curl his lips. Yanyan, she has indeed adapted very well to life in the capital.

He went to Liu Qingfeng's house first.

Liu Qingfeng was telling his family about Lin Yan's good attitude towards the scavengers. When he saw Fang Mingche coming to his house, he stood up quickly and asked, "Teacher Fang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

In fact, he is my boss. Even if he is one or two years younger than me, I can no longer call him Xiao Fang.

Liu's father and mother also stood up and asked Fang Mingche to sit down.

They are my son's bread and butter. No matter if they are setting up a tea stall or collecting waste, as long as they are paid on time, that's enough. Otherwise, what can we do? The subdistrict office can't arrange a job for everyone. They need to eat!

"Hello, uncle and aunt! Qingfeng, I have something to ask you. How about we go for a walk outside?"

The family had only managed to snatch two small houses from Grandpa Gu. Fortunately, his daughter was married, otherwise they would not have been able to live there.

This dining room is actually Liu Qingfeng's room, not to mention a living room.

Liu Qingfeng agreed and followed Fang Mingche out.

The two of them walked slowly to a quiet alley at the back, and Fang Mingche asked him what he thought of Zhu Dahai.

Liu Qingfeng was silent for a moment and said, "How should I put it? We all live in the same compound. I shouldn't say anything about him behind his back. But his attitude towards work is really a bit..."

In this case, let alone the four unsuccessful candidates, he was also very dissatisfied! It was impossible for him to assign all the tasks that were originally Zhu Dahai's to him and Geng Shan as small leaders.

He asked Lin Yan privately, and the couple did not assign Zhu Dahai to lead the two of them. At most, they asked him to lead the two of them to work. Moreover, he always complained in front of the two of them that his current salary was very low and could not be compared with his previous salary. If you don't like it, you can give up the opportunity. Fang Mingche said: "Zhu Dahai is too stubborn, I will have a good talk with him. He used to run the stall for me, and his income was higher than now. But now, I can only run the tea stall for another three weeks. The scrap station has invested thousands, and I don’t know when it can turn a loss into a profit. Moreover, my business of reselling unsaleable products of the supply and marketing cooperative has been poached by my relatives. However, he has been working with me for a long time since delivering water, and I have to give him a chance. But if he is still lazy in the future, if I still keep him, it will be difficult to lead the team."

Liu Qingfeng nodded. It was true. If Teacher Fang always allowed Zhu Dahai to be lazy, who would not be able to do it? In that case, his and Geng Shan's enthusiasm for work would be greatly affected. But if Teacher Fang really showed no mercy and fired Zhu Dahai directly, he would also feel hurt for his fellow man.

"Please help me call Geng Shan out. I'll wait for him here."

"it is good."

When Geng Shan arrived, Fang Mingche also communicated with him in the same way.

Geng Shan also felt that Mr. Fang could no longer run a tea stall and could no longer work as a peddler. How could he still give him the same high salary as before? Then, he also went back to call Zhu Dahai.

Zhu Dahai had actually noticed that the two of them were called out one after another. But thinking about it, he felt that he was not wrong, because he was working with two newcomers. He went there first, so it must be different. And the salary is so low now!
After Zhu Dahai left, Fang Mingche handed him a cigarette and struck a match to light both of their cigarettes.

Zhu Dahai felt relieved. He hadn't seen the two smoking just now. They were outside and didn't stay long enough to smoke a cigarette. They didn't go in until they finished smoking.

After taking a few puffs, Fang Mingche said, "Da Hai, I know you used to get a high salary, and you think your current income is too low. But think about it, what was my situation when you were getting a high salary? The income from the tea stall was relatively stable. If I could make a profit once a month by reselling the unsalable products from the supply and marketing cooperative, I could make a little more. But what is my situation now? I have invested thousands of dollars in the scrap yard, and my future is uncertain. Am I intentionally deducting your salary?"

Zhu Dahai nodded. This was indeed not the case. He estimated Fang Mingche's income before. The highest was probably one thousand! But both businesses were gone. No wonder he said he had no roots and no foundation. If he wanted to do business, he had to find something inconspicuous and looked down upon by others.

Moreover, all the credit he had given Wang Dexian was taken. He was directly transferred to work at the municipal government. His mother said that he was assigned a single room in a tube building. In comparison, Xiao Fang's gap must be much greater than his own.

Fang Mingche said, "I was taking the college entrance exam at the time, so I asked you to take my place. I only paid you five yuan a day to prevent you from quitting. But this is not normal. I won't promise you anything. If you work with me, your salary won't be much higher than the average wage in the short term. But if I become successful, and you have been working hard for me throughout the process, I might give you a share of the profits. You will never get rich if you only earn a salary from work."

He gave Zhu Dahai some time to think and took a puff of his cigarette.

Then he added: "Da Hai, you now have two choices. Either you accept this salary level and continue to work hard; or you already know that if you do business well, you can really make a lot of money. Of course, if you don't do well, you may lose money."

When people talk about this era, they say that you can make a lot of money by going into the sea. But this is actually a survivor bias! Those who are successful will be passed down; those who fail will not be known at all. Therefore, many of the first generation of people who went into the sea were washed away by the wind and rain.

I feel that I have the ability to do this, and two hundred yuan is actually enough to try my luck. For example, the business that Yan found, two hundred yuan is enough as capital.

If you don't have this ability, you still have to accept the normal salary level.
