King of Industry

He took Zhang Tingting to the "Taste of Yucheng" not far from the factory, but Zhao Guoyang did not see his classmate, the restaurant owner Sun Xiaomei.

After asking the cashier, I found out that Sun Xiaomei, who had a thriving business, had already bought a large store in the city center, and was preparing for the opening of a new store there.

Hearing the news, Zhao Guoyang felt happy: I feel that my old classmate has a good business vision, and I know how to expand the store so soon.

Not to mention, Zhang Tingting really loves hot pot, and she and Zhao Guoyang had a great time eating it.

The cashier had obviously heard of Zhao Guoyang's name, and knew that he was a classmate and good friend of the boss. Therefore, when Zhang Tingting finally checked out, she was given a 40% discount.

Zhang Tingting wanted to refuse, but the cashier girl smiled and said: "Chief Zhao, you must not be polite, our boss has already explained that as long as you come in person, you will get 40% off, if you have friends Come here, tell him his name, it will be 20% off..."

When the cashier girl said this, Zhang Tingting's eyes shone with a strange light.

...

With so many things brought back from Jinling, Zhao Guoyang drove home after work.

Because the yard at home was not big enough, when Zhao Guoyang arrived, he could only park the car at the door and go in to ask someone to help move things.

At this moment, Xiaojing must not be out of school yet, Xiaoyong should be at home, with the help of this half-child, it will save me two extra trips, right?

As soon as Zhao Guoyang entered the yard, Xiao Hei came out wagging his tail "barking".

Zhao Guoyang touched Xiao Hei's little head, and said with a smile: "What's wrong, I haven't seen you for a few days, Xiao Hei, do you miss me?"

Xiao Hei's cry naturally spread to the back room.

After a while, a few figures came out of it.

"Haha, I just said that Xiao Hei is so happy, he must be back?" Zhao Xiaoyong, who went out first, grinned and said triumphantly.

"Hmph, you're the smart one, why are you still standing there stupidly, hurry up and carry your brother's bag!" He Huifen, who followed closely behind, gave the third child a push.

When his mother and brother appeared, a smile appeared on Zhao Guoyang's face.

He was about to speak when three familiar faces appeared behind his mother. Needless to say, they were guests at home.

"Yeah, Guoyang is off work. I'm tired after a long day of get off work. Come in and have a rest, hehe..." Among the three, the older middle-aged man was the first to say with a smile.

Seeing this evasive gaze, Zhao Guoyang was somewhat suspicious.

However, on the surface, he definitely wouldn't be cold-hearted, and he just called out calmly: "Second uncle, second aunt, sister Xiaoqian."

That's right, the three people who came to visit were Zhao Guoyang's second uncle Zhao Jingxian, second aunt Wang Manyu and cousin Zhao Qian.

Zhao Guoyang's second uncle and third uncle's family are both only children.

The second uncle's family name is Zhao Qian, who is only one year younger than Zhao Guoyang and has been working for three or four years.

The third uncle's family name is Zhao Xi, who is about the same age as Zhao Xiaojing, but because of his poor grades, he went to a technical secondary school and is about to graduate this year.

Although Zhao Guoyang's two uncles and aunts, including the eldest aunt and uncle, were a bit snobbish, the children of the three families were all honest and simple.

Let's just talk about this Zhao Qian. She had a good relationship with Zhao Guoyang before.

When she was in college in Guangling City, Zhao Guoyang went to see her twice, but after work, everyone was busy, and the contact gradually decreased.

Of course, even if they don't communicate often, the bond between the two cousins ​​must still exist.

Although Zhao Guoyang didn't think much of the two uncles and the eldest aunt in the family, he still had some affection for his cousins ​​and sisters.

After exchanging pleasantries with Zhao Jingxian and Wang Manyu, Zhao Guoyang turned his gaze to Zhao Qian and said, "Sister Xiaoqian, you are here, please help me!"

Zhao Qian said "ah", nodded quickly and said: "No problem, no problem, brother Guoyang, what do you want me to do, even if it's agreed..."

"Hey, it's nothing serious, I just want you to help me move something."

Zhao Guoyang pointed his hand out of the yard, and said casually, "Didn't you just come back from a business trip in Jinling City today? A familiar factory boss arranged a carload of souvenirs..."

As soon as he heard the words "local specialties", Zhao Xiaoyong's eyes lit up green.

He smoothed his sleeves with his left and right hands, and yelled carelessly: "Brother, don't worry, wrap it on me. Where is the thing, I'll just move it!"

The second uncle, Zhao Jingxian and Wang Manyu, looked at me and I looked at you, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Guoyang, are there many things? We happen to have a lot of people, so we can go there together and move."

The old mother He Huifen on the side also said: "Yes, Guoyang, your second uncle and second aunt are our own people, so you don't need to see outsiders!"

Zhao Jingxian and Wang Manyu couldn't hide the smiles on their faces when their sister-in-law said "one of my own people", and they nodded in agreement.

Zhao Guoyang waved his hand and said, "No need, it's almost enough for the three of us juniors to move two times."

"There are too many people here, but it's inconvenient to get in the way. Mom, you can chat with the second uncle and the second aunt in the back room, we will come as soon as we go!"

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, he waved to Zhao Xiaoyong and Zhao Qian, and led them out of the yard.

He Huifen now obeys what her precious son says.

After the three juniors left the yard, she proudly said to her brother-in-law and siblings: "Yes, let's just listen to Guoyang's arrangement."

"This kid is now the leader in the factory, and he speaks like a leader! My old lady, I have to listen to his instructions from time to time."

The sister-in-law's words were obviously belittled, but she was actually showing off her son's ability.

Zhao Jingxian and Wang Manyu were not stupid either, they knew the elegance from hearing the stringed songs, and immediately followed what the sister-in-law said, and kept praising Zhao Guoyang.

Speaking of which, their family came to the elder brother and sister-in-law today, but they were forced by the reality to have no other choice.

Originally, Zhao Jingxian worked as an accountant in a small factory, Zhao Qian also worked as a warehouse keeper in this factory, and Wang Manyu retired from illness long ago, taking retirement salary with peace of mind.

Although the whole family doesn't have a lot of money to earn, they are living a decent life these days.

Unexpectedly, just last month, the owner of this small factory could not continue to operate due to various reasons such as rising costs, unsalable products, serious losses, etc., so he borrowed a sum of money and ran away. It's a mess.

After the government got the letter, it quickly intervened.

In the end, the factory was temporarily closed and a thorough investigation was required. All the employees, who only received their last month's salary, were dismissed and went back to find their own way out.

It is said to seek a way out by oneself, but it is easier said than done!

In the early 1990s, the talent market had not yet been established, and it was not easy to find a job.

What's more, Zhao Jingxian and Zhao Qian are not that kind of skilled workers, and it is even more difficult to find a job again.

After running around for more than a month, Zhao Jingxian and his family panicked.

When he was desperate, Zhao Jingxian accidentally heard from the doorman that his nephew Zhao Guoyang opened a factory in the countryside and bought a car.

Zhao Jingxian seemed to see a glimmer of hope when he heard the people around him tell the truth.

After going home and talking to his wife, Zhao Jingxian was still a little worried that the two families had a bad quarrel because of the division of the family property.

But Wang Manyu was impatient, so she took her father and daughter to Zhao Guoyang's house that day.

When Zhao Guoyang came back, the three of them were hesitating and didn't know how to talk to their sister-in-law.

Although Zhao Guoyang didn't know the thoughts of the second uncle's family, he could probably guess something.

When moving things with Zhao Qian, he casually asked about the situation.

Unlike her parents, Zhao Qian had no embarrassment in the face of her cousin Zhao Guoyang.

She gave an overview of the situation, and finally forced a smile and said: "Actually, my dad is still hesitating whether to come to see Brother Guoyang today, but it was my mom who dragged him over..."

After a short pause, Zhao Qian followed suit and said, "Brother Guoyang, I can't make things difficult for you."

"I've already figured it out. It's hard to find a job in Jianghai County, so I'll go to Ninghai City. No matter how bad it is, I can go to Guangling City to try my luck, right?"

Zhao Guoyang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and patted her on the arm and said, "Come on, Xiaoqian, your parents love you so much, are you willing to let you travel far away to find a job? Don't worry about it, I'm here !"

After hearing this, Zhao Qian's eyes lit up.

She knows that her cousin is capable, and even more aware of his "one promise, one promise" temperament.

As long as it is something my cousin promised, he never fails to keep it.

When Zhao Guoyang was talking to Zhao Qian, Zhao Xiaoyong had already gone crazy with joy.

He carried three packs of salted duck in one hand and a basket full of cherries in the other, so he couldn't close his mouth.

"Haha, I heard that the salted duck in Jinling City is delicious, this time I can enjoy it!" Zhao Xiaoyong yelled while moving things into the basket.

Seeing his unworthy appearance, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help reprimanding him: "Xiaoyong, you are stupid, can you put wine in that basket? If you break those bottles of Moutai, I promise, Mr. Dad doesn't even agree!"

Zhao Qian on the side pursed her lips and smiled, picked up a few "pandas" and hurried up.

As soon as the three brothers and sisters entered the room and put the things on the table, Zhao Jingxian and Wang Manyu were dumbfounded.

It’s okay to eat salted duck, salted duck, and cherries. Although the amount is a bit scary, the two of them are not so dumbfounded.

But in addition to these, there are eight bottles of "Moutai" and seven or eight "Panda" cigarettes on the table.

Although they have never drank or smoked, they know that the value of the cigarettes and alcohol alone is worth their family's income for a year or two...
