Chen Liang thought about it all night, and early the next morning he said hello to the team leader and went into the city.
He had met a boss in the black market before. Seeing that he could send some wild animals from the mountains from time to time, the boss told him the secret location of the black market and asked him to send the goods directly to him in the future.
Last month, he and Xiaoliu killed a wild boar. When they were delivering it in the middle of the night, they happened to run into two black market bosses fighting for territory. The boss he knew, Zhao Donglin, was almost stabbed by the younger brother behind him. He subdued the younger brother after seeing it. In order to thank him, Zhao Donglin promised that all the goods he sent to the black market in the future would be sold at the direct black market price, and told him to come to him if he had any problems.
Chen Liang is also an obedient person. Now that something happens, he naturally comes to him.
When Zhao Donglin heard him talk about how outstanding the girl he liked was, he felt that he was not worthy of her and thought that he wanted to work in the black market to make more money.
After hearing what he said, I finally understood that he wanted to ask him to help find a job. Only with a decent job could he pursue Song Jin with more confidence. Of course, he also had to work in the black market. After all, he still had many things he wanted to buy for Song Jin, and he couldn't do it without money.
According to Song Jin's living standards, the salary from work is definitely not enough.
But he had to put the money out in the open and find a place for it, so he had to find a job.
Chen Liang was afraid that Zhao Donglin wouldn't understand him, so he kept repeating his explanations. Zhao Donglin just wanted to roll his eyes. The explanations he kept repeating were all about the girl being too good and too beautiful. If Zhao Donglin were born in modern times, he would know that this is called love-brain.
It is not easy to find a job, but for Zhao Donglin, it is actually not difficult.
He grew up in the county town and was very familiar with it. In addition, when doing black market business, he had to consider the forces of all parties, so he had to build relationships and make connections.
So I just happened to find out recently that there was a veteran in the transport team who was reaching retirement age. He had only one daughter at home. After his daughter got married, he had planned to hand over his work to his son-in-law. But two years ago, when his daughter and son-in-law went to a relative's house for a banquet, a landslide occurred in the village and most of the people died. His daughter and son-in-law both died in that landslide.
Fortunately, the daughter and son-in-law left their grandson at home to be taken care of by their mother that day, at least leaving some bloodline for them. The son-in-law was the only one left at home.
They were all starving during the famine a few years ago. Although they got better later, their bodies were damaged and they passed away one after another in recent years.
Therefore, after marriage, the son-in-law lives in his own home, which is equivalent to a live-in son-in-law.
But my grandson is only five or six years old now, so I won’t be able to work until then.
So the master now plans to take in an apprentice and sell the job to him, but he has to take more care of his little grandson in the future.
After hearing this, Chen Liang said it was no problem, and Zhao Donglin immediately decided to take him to meet the master.
This is also the requirement of the master. He wants to take a look at the person first and then talk about the job if he thinks he is a good person.
The old master happened to be on his day off, so Zhao Donglin took Chen Liang to the transport team's family compound. It was quite large, with tube-shaped buildings in the front and self-built bungalows in the back, all with small courtyards. Looking back, there were two rows of small second-floor buildings at the back, also quite large. They were probably the leaders' houses.
The old master lives in a tube-shaped building. After all, he has worked in the transport team for his entire life, and his family situation is rather special. Therefore, the leader promised the old master that he can continue to live in the family compound even after retirement, but he has to pay a little money to the transport team. The money is not much, just a superficial formality, for fear that others will not be convinced.
Zhao Donglin took Chen Liang to the second floor. The crowded corridor was full of things. Fortunately, they arrived at the master's house just after turning the corner at the stairs.
It was the old master who opened the door. Zhao Donglin explained his purpose and gestured for Chen Liang to put a bag of apples and a pound of rice he had bought from the black market on the table.
The old master seemed very satisfied, and there was satisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Chen Liang.
Speaking of work later, the price is indeed not high. Driver is a very popular profession these days, especially those in their transport team. They can smuggle some contraband every time they go south. As long as they are bold and careful, there is still a lot of money to be made.
But because the master wanted Chen Liang to help them more in the future, and even take care of their little grandson when they were gone, he proposed to take Chen Liang as his apprentice. If he became an apprentice, he could sell the work to him for 500 yuan.
Chen Liang did not hesitate at all. He had saved more than 300 yuan from occasional trips to the black market in the past few years. He would borrow the remaining 100 yuan from Zhao Donglin later, or he could go up the mountain a few more times in the next few days and he should be able to get the money together.
As for becoming a disciple, it was no problem at all. He had hoped that his master would teach him in the future. Driving is not just about driving, but also about repairing the car. This was naturally not a difficult task for Master Gao, who had been driving for half his life.
So they quickly decided that Chen Liang would come to Master Gao's house three days later, and Master Gao would take him to the transport team to hand over the work, and the money would be paid at that time.
After coming out, Zhao Donglin took the initiative to ask Chen Liang if he had enough money. If not, he could pay for it first. Chen Liang naturally would not refuse. He agreed to meet in three days and then happily returned to the village.
