Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 351 But My Family Is Not Short of Money
"I have a wife and children at home, and the city is too far away. I need to discuss this with my family."

"I understand. This is what I should do." Chen Luyang spoke immediately.

These days, everyone has a family to support.

As long as Zhang Guoqiang didn't refuse right away, it would be a perfect start!!

Although Zhang Guoqiang said that he would go home and discuss it with his family.

But as soon as he got off work, he found his good friend Lao Li, told him about the matter, and asked him to help analyze it.

really!

When I heard that Chen Luyang was going to study at Peking University as a commissioned student and concurrently serve as the director of the automobile maintenance and repair center of the provincial machinery factory,
Old Li was shocked.

"You said everyone raises a son, but how did our director raise his son?!"

At this moment, Lao Li was jealous.

Old Li is sad!
Old Li has an ugly face!
Zhang Guoqiang quickly tapped his wine glass with his chopsticks: "Hey hey hey! Forget about your son, let's see how I handle this first!"

"What should we do?" Old Li looked at Zhang Guoqiang with a look of disappointment.

"Of course I'm going!!!"

"That's Pian'er City, why not go there?"

Old Li was heartbroken: "That's because I'm incompetent, otherwise I would definitely go with him!!"

Zhang Guoqiang asked: "Why? Tell me!"

Old Li drank the wine in his glass and began to analyze seriously:
"You also said that Chen Luyang went to Pianer City to study."

"Do you think the books at Peking University are that easy to study? They're just like the junior and senior high schools at our machinery factory. They can ask for leave whenever they want, and they can choose not to go whenever they want!"

"Although you are the technical backbone of the repair center, when he went to Peking University, you were the actual manager of the center!"

Zhang Guoqiang's eyes lit up!
Damn, that makes so much sense!
If everything goes according to what Chen Luyang said, he would take his apprentice with him.

Then all of my disciples will definitely listen to me. Once Chen Luyang is not around, I will have the final say!
"But for a center like that, it's impossible for him to only hire me as a technical trainee. I might not be able to keep my word!"

Zhang Guoqiang calmed down and looked rational.

Does anyone know if Chen Luyang has looked for other technical masters besides himself?
Old Li looked at him speechlessly.

"I'm telling you, when you encounter something, don't always think about the bad outcome first. Let's analyze it from an optimistic perspective first!"

"The second one is just an old saying."

"Shen Sheng died within, Chong Er lived outside!"

"You're in such an awkward position at the factory right now. Who knows, that bastard Lao Yue might find a chance to mess with you later."

"Instead of worrying about them every day, I might as well go to Pianer City and fight for my own future!"

After saying this, Zhang Guoqiang was extremely excited! !
Although people's ambition in this career does decline as they reach middle age.

But for those of them who have the skills and expertise, it is true that a man remains young until his death!!
Who wouldn’t want to rush forward as long as there is a chance?
If he didn't want to rush into it, he wouldn't have made an enemy with that bastard Lao Yue during the battle for the position of director of the processing workshop.

"And think about it, Chen Luyang went to Peking University as a sponsored student. What does that mean?"

Faced with Lao Li's soul-searching questioning, Zhang Guoqiang shook his head in confusion.

"What does it mean?"

Old Li was about to spit out saliva: "That means that after he graduates from university, he will have to return to our factory."

Everyone now knows how valuable a college student is!

Not to mention that he is a student from Peking University!
That car maintenance and repair center is not even a branch.

After graduating from college, people will definitely return to the main front to develop.

How is it possible to stay in a small car maintenance and repair center?
"By the time Director Chen graduates from university and returns to the factory, who do you think will be in charge of the Pianercheng maintenance and repair center?"

"Isn't it still your responsibility?"

Zhang Guoqiang's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Oh my god...that makes so much sense!
Seeing Lao Li take out a cigarette, Zhang Guoqiang quickly struck a match and lit it.

"the last point."

Old Li said, "Do you think our factory director, given his character, would allow you to suffer such a loss by traveling thousands of miles to a nearby city?"

Zhang Guoqiang quickly shook his head: "That can't be possible!"

Director Wang curses, makes faces and is very strong.

But it’s good for brothers!

Old Li said, "That's it!"

"I guess if you go to Pianer City, not only will you be provided with food and accommodation, but your salary will definitely not be low."

"In addition to the normal salary, there are also subsidies."

"Your children are grown up, and your elderly family members are healthy. Wouldn't it be nice to work for a few years and bring home some extra money?"

Zhang Guoqiang replied simply, "But my family is not short of money."

Although everyone's salary is about the same,
But the house was allocated by the factory.

The factory has food and drinks, a barber shop, a bathhouse, a club, and a tailor shop for making clothes.

Clothes, rubber shoes, cotton shoes, military coats... the factory gives out new ones every year.

If you want to eat meat or candy, the factory will give you an invoice.

Even soda is available for free at the factory for just one cent.

According to such a production and living process, there is really no other way for people to compete except to see whose old man works better or whose wife cooks better.

It’s enough to have enough money to spend. There’s no point in having so much!

"What the hell..."

Old Li felt that he could no longer persuade her.

"You have enough money, you can afford a TV! A color TV!!"

"It's in the auditorium of the color TV factory. If you want to watch it, just go there! Besides, we don't have time to watch TV!"

"...Now there are washing machines in the south. If you buy one, you won't have to boil water to wash clothes in the middle of winter. Don't you want to buy one?"

"Can that washing machine thing clean anything? Plus, a few pieces of clothing can be washed out indoors on a washboard in the winter. It's effortless!"

"...My sister-in-law has worked hard with you her whole life. How many new clothes has she ever had? Have you ever bought her any jewelry?"

"She doesn't like those either!"

Grass.

I can't go on.

Old Li was speechless.

"Zhang Guoqiang, you keep talking so much."

"If you had used the same energy you put into arguing with me on Old Yue, would he have been able to bully you to this extent?"

Zhang Guoqiang felt so angry when he mentioned Lao Yue.

"I can't talk to him!"

Old Li raised his eyelids and said, "Yes~ no need to talk, just get started."

"Anyway, I really hope you go." Old Li said from the bottom of his heart.

After a pause,
Old Li couldn't help but bring the topic back to the children.

"Even if you're not doing it for the money, you should go for your son, my nephew."

Zhang Guoqiang's eyes instantly became serious.

Zhang Panpan's academic performance is among the best in the factory high school.

Every weekend, Zhang Panpan went to her teacher's house for extra lessons. If she didn't perform well as her teacher said, she might end up going to the provincial university.

But if you perform normally, it is possible to go to Pianercheng or Huahai to study!
Old Li said, "Since Director Chen was able to get into Peking University, he must be familiar with the teachers in Pianercheng. If I can get in touch with Director Chen and get our child in through the special enrollment program, that would be even better than you being the director!"

Zhang Guoqiang was moved.

Old Li continued to advise: "Even if the child can't get into the special enrollment, if he gets into the local area, at least he has a father like you to look after him. He can have a father to spend time with during holidays, Mid-Autumn Festival, or weekends."

"Just think of it as a warm-up. Wouldn't it be nice to accompany your child to study in Pianer City for four years?"

Zhang Guoqiang is so excited!!!

The wife can leave the house, but the child has never left his side since he was a child.
Besides, Zhang Panpan is not like Chen Luyang, not the kind of adventurous kid.

He only studies and never quarrels with his classmates, nor does he say a single dirty word.
If someone with this personality goes to another place, he will definitely suffer a lot in the early stages.

Originally, Zhang Guoqiang thought that although his son's interpersonal skills were not so good, he was a good student and could still win back some favors.

But when I think about how Chen Luyang not only studied and got into Peking University, but also has strong working ability and interpersonal communication skills,
Zhang Guoqiang also felt a little unbalanced.

A sip of white wine went into my stomach,

Zhang Guoqiang couldn't help but complain, "Really? How did Director Chen raise his son? How come he raised his son so well?"

Old Li slapped his thigh in worry: "Who said it wasn't?!"

The two grown men were staggering after drinking and didn't go home until almost eight o'clock.

In the evening, Zhang Guoqiang told his wife that he wanted to go to Pianer City.

Old Zhang's wife didn't make a fuss, instead she was very happy!
"You better leave now! I've cooked for you for so many years and I'm done with it."

"When our son goes to college next year, if you're still not home, I'll eat in the cafeteria every day!"

Ok? ? ?
Although Zhang Guoqiang could expect his wife to support him, he never expected that she would be so happy after he left!
"Then can you do it alone?"

"I'm not home, aren't you lonely?"

"Aren't you afraid of thunder?"

Old Zhang's wife was lying on the bed with a happy look on her face, her hands behind her head, her eyes full of longing!

"When the time comes, I'll enroll in an open university!"

"I want to study hard and learn everything I wanted to learn but didn't have the chance to learn before!"

Speaking of exciting places,
Old Zhang's wife turned over, put her left hand under her ear, and her eyes were full of longing for the future.

“I also want to learn English!”

"I bought the English textbook written by Director Chen a few days ago. I also want to read the original English version when the time comes!"

Zhang Guoqiang looked at the light radiating from his wife's face and his nose suddenly twitched.

He hugged his wife, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and couldn't help but say, "Wife, how come you are so awesome!"

Old Zhang's wife patted Zhang Guoqiang on the back with her little fist.

"When you go to Pianer City, don't forget to buy me some more books."

"Uh-huh!!"

……

With his wife's approval, Zhang Guoqiang found Chen Luyang the next day and expressed his attitude.

Looking at Chen Luyang's happy face,

Zhang Guoqiang didn't think much about it, but took the initiative to ask:

"Director Chen, how many people do you need?"

Chen Luyang's eyes lit up: "Of course the more the better! Brother Zhang, do you have any other recommendations?"

Zhang Guoqiang said, "I know a few other masters who are very skilled, but they're all a little unhappy in the factory."

Zhang Guoqiang paused, implying something in the word "unhappy".

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

How can everyone in such a large machinery factory be happy?!

There are many technical workers who are frustrated and have not been able to get promoted due to bad luck!

It was just that Zhang Guoqiang was noticed by Chen Luyang because he swung the stool.

In other workshops, there are workers who silently accept their fate, muddle through, and work hard.

Instead of working unhappy in this environment, why not start from scratch and go out and try it together!
Zhang Guoqiang said: "If necessary, I can do some ideological work on them."

We all share the same fate, so our advice can be more targeted.

Although Zhang Guoqiang recommended it with good intentions, Chen Luyang had little contact with Zhang Guoqiang after all.

The brothers recommended to him by Song Liaosha are his own people.

Since it was recommended by Zhang Guoqiang, he needs to investigate and understand it.

"Brother Zhang, please make a list of the candidates you think are suitable. I'll take a look first."

"Row!"

……

What Chen Luyang didn’t expect was that the workers recommended to him by Zhang Guoqiang all had a good reputation!
They are usually quiet and just work silently.

Moreover, he has rich work experience and solid skills.

Chen Luyang was not polite either. He talked to everyone on the list one by one.

However, among these people, not many finally agreed to go with him.

They are all ordinary people who just want to stay at home with their wives and children. They don't have any big ambitions and don't want to change their peaceful and comfortable lives.

Only three masters were willing to go to Pianer City with him.

But in Chen Luyang's opinion, these three people are already a very good result.

With Zhang Guoqiang and these three masters backing him up, Chen Luyang felt more confident.

When he came to report to Yu Anshan with the list of selected personnel,
Yu Anshan had no objection to the list of these people.

only……

"You just choose these few people, is that enough?"

Including Jiao Long, Sun Hongjun, Li He, Zhang Guoqiang and his two apprentices, there are also these three masters.

There are only 9 people in total.

Although security and technology are guaranteed, a small car repair center can also be considered an independent unit.

This alone is far from enough.

Chen Luyang said: "I think that's enough."

"Jiao Long, Sun Hongjun, and Li He can cook, while Master Zhang and his team are responsible for technical maintenance."

"I usually go to school, so Master Zhang is in charge of the center."

"And in the future, the auto maintenance and repair center can recruit people from the local area and gradually expand its workforce."

Chen Luyang thought about this problem.

At present, the two most important aspects of automobile maintenance and repair centers are safety and technology.

As for logistics, canteen, accounting, cashier... and other logistical work, leave it to Jiao Long and the other three people first.

After that, the car maintenance and repair center took root and became stable.
Let’s look at recruiting people locally.

"I don't think so." Yu Anshan shook his head.
