Li Li's office.

"Brother An, I want to talk to you about Shuanzi."

"You say." Xia Weian looked at Li Li.

"I want to turn Shuanzi into a regular employee."

Xia Weian didn't interrupt and waited for Li Li's next words.

"Before, Xiao Zhang wanted to come back to work. Fortunately, the plan you gave me was approved by the higher-ups. He came back and couldn't continue working after just two days." Li Li continued.

"I'm optimistic about Shuanzi. Xiao Zhang can't do the job on his own and could be fired at any time. I think we should let Shuanzi pay some money to appease Xiao Zhang, and then the position will belong to him."

"How much does it cost?" Xia Weian asked.

"The normal salary now is 800, but Xiao Zhang's situation is special, so I negotiated 400 with him." Li Li said with an embarrassed look on his face.

Xia Weian understood what Li Li meant. It was not easy to fire a regular employee with just a few words. Even though Xiao Zhang's work ability was not good, he was still ostracized by everyone.

As long as he doesn't leave, the worst that can happen is that he makes less money.

Or he can get paid by transferring the work to someone else.

Now Xiao Zhang is frightened by Li Li, and his deputy director, who he relies on, has also been transferred due to Li Li's punishment.

He agreed to Li Li's proposal because he was afraid that he would get nothing in the end.

But we must act quickly, otherwise things will change.

"Four hundred is indeed a very good price." Xia Weian said.

Li Li was obviously relieved.

"Yeah, I haven't told Shuanzi yet. I think you two have a close relationship, so you can talk to Shuanzi and see if he can accept this price."

"If he really can't accept it, I'll think of another way for him. Shuanzi is really capable, and everyone praises him."

Xia Weian smiled and said, "Shuanzi is a good person."

"Yes, if it is converted into commercial grain, he can find a wife from the city in the future. His family will also have changed its status." Li Li said.

"Brother, I'll chat with Shuanzi for a while and then go home to discuss it with his parents. If they agree, I'll come back to see you later." Xia Weian said.

Li Li silently gave a thumbs up in his heart. His brother An was really smart. He immediately understood that he had to be quick.

"Okay, I'll wait for An Ge."

"Well, I'll go find Shuanzi first." Xia Weian said.

"In the backyard."

"I'll go by myself." Xia Weian smiled.

Li Li nodded, and the two shook hands, everything was said without words.

Xia Weian arrived at the backyard and saw Shuanzi carrying two bags of rice. The young man's forehead was covered with sweat. He put down the rice and wiped the sweat off with a towel.

Xia Weian nodded with satisfaction.

"embolus."

"Third brother." Shuanzi saw Xia Weian, waved to him, turned around and said to Lao Liu, "Brother Liu, my third brother is looking for me. I'll go over and be back soon."

"Go ahead, there's no rush." ​​Old Liu was happy. Shuanzi was simply a treasure.

His third brother was an even more remarkable person. He knew that Xia Weian had given Li Li a lot of good things. Because of Shuanzi, Li Li often asked their group to pick up Xia Weian's things.

Shuanzi was also a capable man. He would occasionally bring him some mushrooms from the mountains. Although he didn't think they were very valuable, they were not available in the city, and his mother especially loved eating wild vegetables.

He mentioned it inadvertently, and on the third day, Shuanzi brought it to him.

This kid is really good. Every time the leader asks him, he praises Shuanzi. He really hopes Shuanzi can stay.

"Thank you, Brother Liu." Shuanzi said and ran towards Xia Weian.

"Third brother." Shuanzi called.

Xia Weian and Shuanzi walked towards the tractor.

"Shuanzi, Manager Li wants you to become a regular employee, but it costs 400 yuan to pay Xiao Zhang. This price is very cost-effective. What do you think?" Xia Weian asked.

"I want to do it." Shuanzi answered straightforwardly. He currently earns 30 yuan a month as a temporary worker. If he were a regular employee, he would earn 36 yuan a month.

They rely on physical labor and don't have the length of service of an intern. 400 yuan is just his annual salary.

This account is easy to calculate.

If he stayed in the vegetable company and followed Li Li, Li Li would take care of him for Xia Weian's sake.

Shuanzi thought it was feasible. Although he didn't know how much money his family had, his parents and he were all capable, so there should be some... he was just afraid it wouldn't be enough.

"Third brother, I don't know how much money my parents have. Please go back and ask for me. If the difference is not too big, ask my parents to borrow it for me and I will pay it back myself." Shuanzi said.

Xia Weian nodded and said, "If you want to stay, I will discuss it with your parents. If they don't have enough money, I will lend it to you first."

"Thank you, third brother." Shuanzi looked at Xia Weian with his eyes full of emotion.

"Don't tell anyone else for now. I'll go back to find your parents." Xia Weian patted Shuanzi's shoulder.

"Yes, I know Third Brother." Shuanzi responded.

Xia Weian started the tractor and prepared to leave.

"Third brother!" Shuanzi called.

"What's wrong?"

"If you need me for anything, I will do my best." Shuanzi said solemnly.

Xia Weian smiled and drove away on the tractor.

Shuanzi looked in the direction he left for a long time before going back to continue working. He had to work hard and not embarrass his third brother.

Qingshan Village.

Xia Weian went back, parked the tractor at the brigade headquarters, paid the money and went to find Uncle Lao Gen.

Tell Uncle Lao Gen about this.

Uncle Lao Gen immediately agreed, "I have enough money."

"Will you come with me, or should I do it by myself?" Xia Weian asked.

"Weian, please help Uncle Lao Gen. I don't know anything and I will embarrass you again." Uncle Lao Gen smiled naively.

"become."

Uncle Lao Gen asked Aunt Shang Gen and Wang Yousheng to take some leave, and the couple went home together to get money for Xia Weian.

Wang Yousheng wondered if something was wrong, but neither Xia Weian nor Uncle Lao Gen wanted to say anything, so he didn't dare to ask. After a while, Wang Yousheng finally remembered that Shuanzi's letter of introduction might have expired today...

Xia Weian took the money, rode his bicycle home, told Song Qingyun about going to the vegetable company, and then rode away.

Li Li's office.

When Li Li saw Xia Weian coming back, he happily invited him in to sit down.

"Brother, Shuanzi has applied for a permanent position. I've brought the money."

"Brother An, wait a minute. I'll ask someone to call Xiao Zhang over." Li Li stood up and asked someone to call Xiao Zhang, and also asked someone to call Shuanzi over.

Xiao Zhang arrived soon, and with him came the deputy director Zhang from the vegetable company.

Li Li frowned slightly, "Deputy Director Zhang is here too."

"Yes, I'm just worried about Xiao Zhang, so I came here to help him with the procedures," said Deputy Director Zhang.

He is now also the deputy director, but he is the deputy director of a rural supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperative is not big, and the director has long been in control of the overall situation. His position sounds good, but in fact, he has no power at all.

Deputy Director Zhang is full of resentment towards Li Li...
