Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

Although it was to bring Yang Lanqing and Wang Xiaolin together, Wang Weidong transferred Wang Xiaolin to Lanhua TV Factory.

But beyond Wang Weidong's expectation, Wang Xiaolin did an unexpectedly good job.

She is very approachable, and even if you just meet a stranger, you can quickly become friends with her.

As the first reception section chief in Ningzhou City, she was quickly praised by customers.

Wang Weidong felt that Yang Lanqing should be grateful to him. What he didn't expect was that a month later, Yang Lanqing actually invited him to a private room in the No. 2 State-owned Canteen.

Looking at Yang Lanqing's listless look, Wang Weidong thought his girlfriend had run away with someone else.

The two of them sat down in a box in the cafeteria.

Xiao Liuzi is now the chef of the second canteen. He has already got off work. When he got the news that Wang Weidong came to eat, he put down the packed canvas bag and pushed away the cook who had already picked up the pot: "Get up, my master is here today.

, I have to show my skills to the master."

Xiao Liuzi used all his skills and brought the dishes into the box himself.

"Master, come and try my elbow flower. How do you do?"

Wang Weidong took the kuaizi handed over by Xiao Liuzi, picked up the elbow and stuffed it into his mouth, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Well, it's fat but not greasy, and it melts in your mouth. Xiao Liu, your cooking skills have improved a lot.

"

"That's all due to the good teachings of the master. Without the master, I, Xiao Liuzi, would not be where I am today." Xiao Liuzi said sincerely.

He is not flattering, just like Chef Wang's apprentice next door, Er Pianzi, who has been following Chef Wang for more than ten years and has never even touched a frying spoon.

And Xiao Liuzi has become a chef now, why?

The reason is that Wang Weidong doesn’t hide his secrets!

Xiao Liuzi suppressed the emotion in his heart and placed another plate of braised pork in front of Wang Weidong: "Master, try this."

Wang Weidong was not polite, picked up a piece of kuaizi and stuffed it into his mouth. His teeth cut into the meat, and the aroma suddenly filled his mouth.

"Not bad...."

"Come on, master, try this again." Xiao Liuzi brought another plate of dishes and placed it in front of Wang Weidong.

.....

In a short time, Wang Weidong tasted seven or eight dishes, while Yang Lanqing, who was sitting next to him, had a dark face the whole time.

Wang Weidong caught a glimpse of his expression from the corner of his eye and snickered in his heart, "I just won't speak, let's see what you can do?"

Yang Lanqing came to Wang Weidong today to question him. Seeing that this guy was eating happily, he endured it again and again, but he couldn't bear it any longer. He said softly, "Comrade Chef, we are having a meal. Please go out first."

"

"Hey, sir, this is my master. I am serving the master's meals. What's wrong?" Xiao Liuzi was unhappy.

Although Yang Lanqing is dressed stylishly, she looks like a leader.

But the No. 2 State-owned Canteen is the territory of his younger brother. If you want to pretend to be the boss, that is absolutely impossible!

Yang Lanqing was so shocked that she was speechless. Indeed, a little chef respects his master. This is called inheriting the virtues of the Chinese nation. If you don't like to watch, you can just sit aside and say nothing.

When Wang Weidong saw his appearance, he was very happy. Who told you to pretend to be cool? You can't get off the stage now.

However, Wang Weidong couldn't let his uncle's face fall to the ground. He glared at Xiao Liuzi and said, "Liuzi, how do you speak? When I was in the cafeteria, did I teach you that the customers are the masters and we chefs are the servants?"

"Yes, yes, I have been neglectful these days. I will study harder when I get back." Xiao Liuzi's face was full of smiles.

Wang Weidong patted him on the shoulder and said, "I still have something to discuss. You should go back first. I will teach you a few tricks when you are free."

"Okay, master, master is the dearest to me." Xiao Liuzi left with a smile on his face. Who doesn't know that master Liu Hongchang is the most famous chef in Ningzhou City.

After Xiao Liuzi closed the door, Wang Weidong turned to look at Yang Lanqing: "Brother, what's wrong with you? You made a mistake and were caught by the superiors?"

Yang Lanqing's face suddenly turned red, and she waved her hands and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not about work. Let me ask you, how is Wang Xiaolin doing recently?"

"Okay, several out-of-town customers have praised Comrade Wang Xiaolin in front of me, especially since she has recently learned a southern dialect, and chatting with customers who don't speak Mandarin is smoother.

Uncle, I want to thank you!

"Wang Weidong certainly did not hesitate to speak kindly to this future sister-in-law.

Yang Lanqing had a dark look on her face, pursed her lips and said, "No, if you continue to thank me, I will be single for the rest of my life."

Wang Weidong was stunned for a moment and asked: "What's going on? I said you were not in the right mood today. Did you have a quarrel with your sister-in-law?"

After talking about it, Yang Lanqing stopped hiding it and said with a wry smile: "You don't know, since Xiaolin came to your place, she has been working overtime every day. If I want to have a meal with her, I have to make an appointment in advance, let alone

We talked about going to the park or something like that. I just did the math and found that the last time I saw Wang Xiaolin was a week ago. If this continues, do you think we will break up? Even if your TV factory employs people, you can’t use them.

Are you going to be used as a donkey? You have to give me a chance to breathe."

Oh, it turns out that the army is here to investigate!

Wang Weidong's expression became serious and he said: "I say, uncle, this is your fault. Now is a new society, where equality between men and women is emphasized, and lesbians can hold up half of the sky.

Comrade Wang Xiaolin is educated and ambitious. Can I stop her from making progress?

Nowadays, TV manufacturers are in their infancy, just like airplanes. If they don’t work harder, how can they fly into the sky?

These words left Yang Lanqing speechless. He hesitated for a long time before finally squeezing out a sentence.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, I understand all the truths you said. I support Wang Xiaolin in her career with both hands. However, if this continues, our marriage will be ruined sooner or later."

Wang Weidong was happy when he heard this. He took a sip of tea and said: "My chief webmaster, why are you so stupid? Since you decided to marry Wang Xiaolin, I am now Wang Xiaolin's leader and have the right to care about the lives of employees.

and obligations, I will help you connect immediately.

As long as you say something, I guarantee that you can get married next week."

Yang Lanqing suddenly realized: "Yeah, why did I make the mistake of a young boy? The organization can come forward for things like marriage."

He quickly picked up the bottle and handed a glass of wine to Wang Weidong: "Brother-in-law, I entrust my brother's happiness to you."

Wang Weidong did not refuse, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

It's not that he was randomly pulling strings. After all, Wang Xiaolin and Yang Lanqing were originally a couple. Now that they can achieve positive results, it is a reasonable thing.

....

The next day, Wang Weidong taught Wang Xiaolin to the office and conveyed Yang Lanqing's intention to Wang Xiaolin.

Since Wang Xiaolin joined the TV factory, her personality has changed a lot and she has become more generous. However, she still feels a little shy when encountering this kind of thing.

She lowered her head, tugged at the corner of her clothes, and hesitated: "This kind of thing is entirely up to the factory director. It's just that the factory has been very busy recently. Yesterday, more than a dozen customers came from the Shenzhen market. They were preparing to place an order for five

Hundreds of TVs, I’m really too busy with work.”

Wang Weidong frowned: "Shenzhen City wants to order 500 sets? How many TV sets have the coastal cities ordered from us this month?"

Wang Xiaolin was very skilled in business and told the numbers in one breath: "There are a total of 1,800 units, of which 1,200 units have been ordered by private customers."

In this era, private individuals are allowed to purchase goods directly. As long as the customer can provide the above approval documents and pay in advance, Wang Weidong will generally not stop him.

But the number of 1,200 units is really too huge.

Lanhua TV Factory produces the most advanced 17-inch color TV sets at home and abroad, with a price of up to 526 yuan per set.

In this era, workers' wages were only a dozen yuan. Even if the economy in the south was more developed, 526 yuan was still a huge sum of money.

Therefore, Orchid TVs are usually booked by foreign hotels and hotels.

With so many private orders now, there must be something odd among them.

Wang Weidong immediately thought that those people must be smuggling.

When he was chatting with customers before, he also heard them say that the quality of Orchid TVs was much better than foreign TV sets in terms of display effect and design. The customers also suggested that he promote Orchid TVs to Hong Kong City.

worldwide.

It's just that Wang Weidong is cautious by nature, considering that a big tree will attract trouble, so he did not explore overseas markets.

It seems that someone has already done this for me.

If this is the case, then exploring overseas markets can also be put on the agenda. After all, Wang Weidong needs a huge amount of funds to realize his big plan.

After making up his mind, Wang Weidong brought the topic back. He stared at Wang Xiaolin and said: "Work is work, life is life. It is right for you to work hard and realize your own life value, but you cannot be negligent because of this.

life.

Getting married is easy and I will personally help you officiate the wedding when the time comes.

Seeing that Wang Xiaolin was still hesitant, Wang Weidong decided to cut the knot quickly and said, "That's it. You are not allowed to work overtime today. We will discuss it with your parents when you get back."

Wang Xiaolin seemed used to accepting Wang Weidong's orders, nodded and said: 'Thank you, director.'

After sending Wang Xiaolin away, Wang Weidong sat on a chair with his legs crossed. He was not thinking about plans to expand overseas markets, but was worried about Wang Xiaolin and Yang Lanqing's marriage.

Yang Lanqing is nearly forty years old and is still a second-married man.

Wang Xiaolin is a 22-year-old yellow flower girl.

The Lao Wang family would definitely not be willing to marry their daughter to a second-married man who is so many years older than their own daughter.

The folk customs in this era were still very conservative, and there was almost no such thing as an old man marrying a young girl.

After thinking for a while, but unable to think of a solution, Wang Weidong decided to ignore it and started busy working.

He has to get off work early today. Recently, Yang Maixiang seems to be anxious about getting pregnant and urges him to go back and pay the public food every day.

.....

When he went to work the next day, Wang Weidong saw Wang Xiaolin's eyes were red and sighed deeply. It seemed that he had guessed it.

Asking his assistant to pour a cup of tea for Wang Xiaolin, he signaled the assistant to close the door and leave. Wang Weidong sat across from Wang Xiaolin and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"

"My parents got angry after hearing about Yang Lanqing's situation last night..." Wang Xiaolin suppressed her sadness and told the whole story in a relatively calm tone.

It turns out that Wang Xiaolin is the only daughter of the Wang family. Old Wangtou has always wanted to recruit a son-in-law. Recently, the city transferred a gay man named Fang from the north.

Comrade Fang is about the same age as Wang Xiaolin. Both his parents are dead. He was raised by his grandfather, and he is also a college student.

When Old Wangtou found out, he was immediately overjoyed. This person was a perfect match for Wang Xiaolin. As long as Xiao Fang married Wang Xiaolin and stayed in Ningzhou City, they would have gained a son for nothing.

Old Wangtou knew that Wang Xiaolin had a cold temper and was thinking about how to introduce Xiao Fang to Wang Xiaolin. Who would have thought that Wang Xiaolin actually found an old man for them who was only a few years younger than them.

Wang Weidong could imagine that when Lao Wangtou heard Yang Lanqing's age, his heart must have been full of shit.

"Director, what do you think I should do?"

Faced with her parents' obstruction, Wang Xiaolin, who has always been a strong woman, had no idea.

Wang Weidong has no choice for the time being, and it's not the future, so he can't instigate the little girl to steal the family's household registration book, right?

Besides, Yang Lanqing also has some respect in Ningzhou City. If Lao Wang gets angry and makes trouble at the train station, he will definitely be punished.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "In this case, you tell Yang Lanqing about this matter, ask him to bring gifts to your house in person, and then behave more positively. Although your father is unlikely to agree, at least it will make him not hate Yang Lanqing so much."

"Yeah." Wang Xiaolin wiped her eyes and walked into the bathroom next door to wash up. In the blink of an eye, she turned into that strong woman again, turned around, left the office, and went to work.

Wang Weidong shook his head and smiled bitterly, Damn, I was just a month old, but now I have become a close sister.

Not long after Wang Xiaolin left, Deputy Director Niu came to the office with several orders.

His brows knitted into knots: "Director Wang, we don't have enough manpower in the workshop. We can't continue like this. On the one hand, there are not enough workers on the production line to guarantee production. On the other hand, there are so many customers outside waiting for orders."

"Not enough manpower? What's going on? Didn't we already make calculations when recruiting people?"

Wang Weidong took the order and read it carefully.

Deputy Director Niu scratched his head and explained awkwardly: "Director, the thing is like this, when we calculated the number of workers, we referred to the production conditions of the old production line of the old factory. Now we use the one you designed.

The production line's production speed is more than twice as fast as the previous old production line, which naturally requires a large increase in manpower."

Wang Weidong pointed to the numbers on the list and asked: "Then why is there no shortage of workers working on the assembly line, but the shortages are all porters, loaders, and wire wrappers?"

Deputy Factory Director Niu had been working with Wang Weidong for some time, and knew that he was someone who couldn't rub his eyes out, so he told the truth: "What else could be the reason? Isn't it because these types of work are more difficult.

Damn it, I remember when the factory was strong, even the workers who carried big bags were rushing to do it. Now that life has become better, they have begun to be picky."
