Chapter 265 Bragging
"The weather has been getting hotter recently, and the authorities have ordered us to speed up the construction of the Sanhuan residential area. As the leader of the construction department, Tang Jun should be most aware of this.
But what kind of people live in the Third Ring Road? Refugees with little food!
The official side plans to transform renting houses into renting beds to lower the threshold for moving in. Of course, there is a threshold, and the base will not keep idle people!
Therefore, the demand for single beds has increased greatly. Recently, the official mall has a batch of raw materials for bunk beds and is looking for someone to process and refurbish them, and they just happened to find me.
In two months, I was given a share of 10,000 beds, and they were willing to pay a processing fee of 4 points for refurbishing one bed.
However, all my old classmates from the architecture major are here today. I know that everyone here is capable. If anyone wants to earn some extra money to supplement the family income, feel free to come to me.
I can give you some of the processing work, and the commission of 4 points, you can split it in half with me!"
The man who was speaking was named Liu Yang. Before the end of the world, his family was in the building materials business and had some assets, so after coming to the base, he lived a pretty good life.
He is also very good at business, just as Tang Jun said in his freshman year of college ~ a person who does channel business in shopping malls.
After this person finished speaking, the other students at the table became excited. This was really a good job!
One bed gives 4 points, which is enough for people living in the Third Ring Road to pay two months’ rent!
"Brother Yang, please take me with you for this good thing!" (Classmate 1)
"Brother Yang, one bed is only 4 points, so if you have 10,000 beds, that means you can get 40,000 points! Brother Yang must be very rich, so earning points is like a piece of cake!" (Classmate 2)
"Brother Yang, please give me a share. I only need one point to process one bed! Brother Yang, if you give me a share of 200 beds, so that I can pay for the rent for my apartment in the Second Ring Road this year, I will be satisfied!" (Student 3)
"Brother Yang, please give me some share too!" (Classmate 4)
…
The next step was to curry favor with him. In addition to the male students, the female students also gradually relaxed and became active, approaching Liu Yang and trying to ask him for some points to make a living.
Liu Yang benefited greatly from it, and would agree whenever someone asked, making him look like a great savior!
The students all knew their limits. The one who asked for the most only asked for a few hundred shares. No one dared to ask for too much, for fear of angering Liu Yang and not earning any points.
Even if it's just a few hundred, it would be enough for them to eat for most of half a year.
In the end, only Tang Jun, Yu Duoduo and Tong Zi were left sitting silently at the round table...
Tong Zi leaned close to Yu Duoduo's ear and whispered, "Duoduo, is the batch of bedding processing business that Liu Yang mentioned the same batch that you sold to President Ning?"
Yu Duoduo picked up the water cup in front of him and took a sip, "Probably."
Tong Zi chuckled, "Look at him, he's so arrogant! If he knew that we sold those because we couldn't finish processing them, he would be so frustrated!"
Seeing Yu Duoduo and Tong Zi chatting and laughing, Tang Jun's attention was gradually attracted, and he said to Duoduo:
"I heard from Tong Zi that you moved. Congratulations! You are the only one I know who can level up in the base!"
"Thank you. I just follow my brother around. I'm just an idler! But, I heard from Tong Zi that you got promoted again. Congratulations!"
Yu Duoduo responded with a smile. She and Xie Yun had always been blaming each other and covering for each other like this!
"Congratulations! But compared with yours, it's nothing!" Tang Jun said modestly.
Yu Duoduo was about to say something when Liu Yang suddenly came over, put his arm around Tang Jun's shoulders, and said to Yu Duoduo and Tong Zi:
"Two beautiful ladies, what are you talking about with our brother Jun? Why are you laughing so happily?
I heard that you two have just arrived at the base and live opposite Jun Ge. Are you working at the base construction center now?"
Yu Duoduo politely shook his head, "No."
"Oh~ That's perfect. I have a furniture studio on the first floor of the West Mall. As old classmates, why don't you two come over and help me?
I will give you 20 points as salary every month, which is comparable to the income of ordinary employees in the construction center like Tang Jun. What do you think? "
Liu Yang seemed to notice that these two beauties were different from the others. He showed off for a long time, but ignored them. Instead, he talked and laughed with Tang Jun, which made him very unhappy. Is he worse than Tang Jun?
So he used his ultimate move directly - recruit!
Tang Jun was just about to shut his old classmate up, what improvement do we have to make, their conditions are better than ours... The restaurant waiter came in and served the food!
Liu Yang's topic was abruptly interrupted by the waiter, which made him even more upset!
But the two beauties, Yu Duoduo and Tong Zi, ignored his offer as if it was bullshit! He was even more angry!
But some people took his words to heart.
"Brother Yang, do you need more people in your studio? Why don't you let me go? I can do anything. 15 points a month is enough!"
A female classmate who Yu Duoduo was not very familiar with said to Liu Yang with a smile, her tone full of coquettishness.
As soon as these words were spoken, the other two female classmates also asked Brother Yang to guide them. Then the male classmates also joined the battlefield and tried to curry favor with Brother Yang.
There are limited ways to make a living in the end times, so who wouldn’t want to seize this opportunity brought by an acquaintance?
Brother Yang was surrounded and had no choice. His intention was never to recruit these people, but he didn't want to lose face. When he saw that the dishes were served, he immediately picked up the wine glass.
"My dear old classmates, it's a rare opportunity for us to get together in the end times. It's not easy. Please enjoy your meal today. I'll pay for it!"
"Brother Yang is so generous!"
"Waiter, bring the menu, we want to add a few dishes!"
Liu Yang...
Everyone was toasting each other and chatting animatedly, while Yu Duoduo and Tong Zi were eating their meal seriously. Someone was paying for it anyway, and they would be letting their ears down, which had been damaged by words, down by not eating their fill!
This dinner was nothing more than a business reception, where the rich came to show off and the poor came to curry favor, leaving people like Tong Zi, who came with good intentions - to build relationships - extremely disappointed.
But to be honest, the food in this Chinese restaurant is really good!
Yu Duoduo and Tong Zi probably ate the most at this meal, so they decided to bring other people in the basement to try the food here another day!
After eating and drinking, the party finally ended. Looking at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. A group of people walked out in a mighty manner. Many of them were drunk and were carried home by their female companions.
Liu Yang also brought a female companion with him, but he pushed her aside and stopped Yu Duoduo and Tong Zi at the door.
