Sha Zhu, who had been watching the commotion in the crowd, rushed back into the house when he saw the banquet starting.
Then, he vividly recounted what had happened outside to his family, so that everyone could have a good laugh together.
After finishing his story, Sha Zhu felt that the Xu family had done too many bad things and deserved what they had done. He was even considering whether to go and cause them some trouble.
"Dad, do you think we should cause some trouble and say that their banquet is taking up space, and ask them to move it?"
He Daqing shook his head when he heard his son's naive idea.
“Silly boy, you’re not just going to cause trouble, you’re becoming the enemy of the whole hospital.”
"Why?" Sha Zhu asked, puzzled.
"What an idiot," He Daqing said, somewhat exasperated. "Because that's a common area, if you make a scene like this, do you think the people in the courtyard will hate you?"
"Besides, not only will this not work, but you'll also get a reputation for being a sore loser."
"But why is that?"
Sha Zhu is almost going crazy. You're so old, can't you stop being so mischievous? Can't you just explain yourself clearly?
"Hmph!" He Daqing snorted coldly and asked, "Then let me ask you, did the Xu family invite you before the banquet?"
"I invited them," Sha Zhu replied truthfully, "but I didn't go to my house."
"That's right. You refused my invitation and now you're causing trouble. You just can't take a joke."
"What kind of bullshit logic is this?"
Sha Zhu felt his brain wasn't working properly, and there was a generation gap between him and these old folks.
He simply ran to the bedside, lay down, put his head on his hands, and stared at the ceiling, I don’t know what he was thinking.
Seeing his son's defiant expression, He Daqing didn't want to say anything more.
But then he remembered what had happened outside and had to add a sentence.
"Silly boy, there's one more thing you need to remember. That woman next door isn't someone to be trifled with either. Don't keep staring at her ass all the time; you can't outmaneuver her."
After saying that, He Daqing stopped talking and called to his daughter to prepare dinner…
An hour later, the banquet outside was nearing its end, and most people had begun to leave. Only Sun Zhengguo and his mother remained at the cadre table.
"Zhengguo, let's go too!" Lin Wencui said, standing up.
"Okay, Mom, you go back first. I'll say hello to Xu Damao after he's seen the person off."
Seeing this, Lin Wencui nodded and went back to the front yard alone.
...
The following morning, Sun Zhengguo's team gained a new member: his second uncle, who was preparing to report for duty.
The group arrived at their workplace. Sun Zhengguo first went to the research institute to give some instructions, and then took his second uncle to the neighboring machinery factory to find Director Li.
"Comrade Sun Dahe, don't be so polite here. Zheng Guo and I are very good friends. Just stay here and work with peace of mind. If you need anything in the future, just come and find me."
In the office, after the two sides were introduced, Director Li not only personally brewed tea, but also treated Sun Zhengguo with great courtesy and gave him plenty of face.
This scene felt unreal to Sun Dahe, like a dream.
However, he also knew that it was all thanks to his nephew that a high-ranking official like him could chat with a country bumpkin like him, and he couldn't act arrogantly.
"Director Li, you're too kind. I'm just an ordinary worker, and I don't dare to trouble you."
Seeing his second uncle's cautious demeanor, Sun Zhengguo smiled and felt that this was not bad. After all, being low-key was the key to long-term success.
The next arrangement was simple: Director Li called his secretary over and asked him to accompany Sun Dahe to complete the onboarding procedures, while he stayed in the office to chat with Sun Zhengguo over tea.
Twenty minutes later, Sun Dahe completed the formalities and joined the logistics carpentry team. Then, he followed his secretary to the office.
Upon seeing the secretary return, Factory Director Li stood up and gestured for Sun Zhengguo to enter.
"Please come in, Mr. Sun. It's a rare opportunity for you to visit our logistics department."
"Hahaha!" Sun Zhengguo laughed as he stood up. "Then let's go take a look."
After leaving the office, the three went to the logistics department.
When Director Zhang of the logistics department saw the boss arrive, he dared not be negligent and quickly got up to greet him.
"Director Li, if there's anything you need, you could have just called. Why did you come all the way here in person?"
"Director Zhang, I just came with Director Sun to take a look. It's nothing serious."
Director Zhang naturally didn't believe such a perfunctory statement; it seemed the focus was still on Director Sun.
"Oh! Director Sun, hello, welcome to inspect our work."
"Director Zhang, you don't need to be so polite. I'm just taking a look around. There's no need to be so formal."
After a brief handshake and pleasantries, Director Zhang also noticed Sun Dahe following behind.
However, since Director Li didn't say, he couldn't ask.
"Director Zhang, what a coincidence! The comrade behind me is here to report for duty. Please process his application so we can see your logistics onboarding process."
Upon hearing this, Director Zhang immediately understood.
It seems that the unassuming middle-aged man in the back is the real protagonist today. I wonder who he is? That he could get two department-level leaders to come and support him personally.
After sorting things out, Director Zhang looked at Sun Dahe and asked very politely.
"Hello, sir/madam, may I see your employment application form?"
"Okay, Director Zhang."
As he spoke, Sun Dahe handed over the employment form, which Director Zhang took and glanced at.
Alright! Just based on this surname, he already knew that this was definitely related to Sun Zhengguo.
Moreover, the man in front of me named Sun Dahe looks quite similar to Sun Zhengguo, so they must be close relatives.
"Comrade Dahe! Welcome to our logistics department."
"Thank you, Director Zhang."
After the two shook hands and exchanged greetings, Director Zhang began to introduce the onboarding process.
"Comrade Dahe! Since you've just joined the company, according to regulations, you need to wait a full year before you can participate in the assessment. However, I see that you joined with prior experience, so the probationary period will be waived. I'll arrange for someone to assess you directly!"
"Really? Thank you for your help, Director Zhang."
This time, Sun Dahe was genuinely grateful, because he had already inquired with his son and daughter-in-law before coming.
The starting salary is very low, only 18.5 yuan. Only after the grade assessment can you receive the graded salary. Even a first-grade worker can get 31 yuan a month.
The difference between these two is truly significant, enough to influence the future of a family.
What followed was quite simple. Under Director Zhang's swift organization, a three-person assessment team was quickly assembled and put in place.
Sun Dahe was dumbfounded during the first round of theoretical exams, because he had never known that there was such a thing as a theoretical exam.
Although he has been to school, and only has a junior high school education, he really doesn't know how to do this!
He initially thought he was going to embarrass his nephew today, but when he picked up the questions and saw what they were, he was shocked.
Q: To make a plank of wood flatter, which of the following tools do we need?
1. Saw, 2. Axe, 3. Chisel, 4. Plane
Do we even need to take the exam if the questions are like this?
Sun Dahe was starting to have doubts about life; had he been given the wrong exam questions?
Even someone who has never done carpentry work can fill in the answer with their eyes closed.
