prison Break?
Chen Jun couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this.
It’s not that he looked down on Jia Zhang, but how could a fat and big-eared Jia Zhang possibly escape from there.
The people he reported last time seemed to be planning to climb out of the sewage drain. These drains are generally very narrow, so people with thin bodies still have a chance, but people like Jia Zhang will be stuck in it, unable to squeeze out or retreat.
While chatting, Qin Huairu's voice seemed to be heard in the yard, and then Jia Dongxu's cursing voice stopped.
Chen Jun guessed that Qin Huairu must have come back from outside and helped Jia Dongxu up.
This was indeed the case. Qin Huairu had been hanging around outside all day and had never left the city to look for ginseng.
Jia Dongxu went out of the city to look for ginseng on a snowy day. He had a problem with his brain, but Qin Huairu did not. She simply found a teahouse and sat there until the afternoon. Then, when she saw that it was almost time, she went home.
Seeing Qin Huairu coming back, Jia Dongxu no longer had the heart to cause trouble for Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi, and urged Qin Huairu to push him back home quickly.
As soon as he entered the house, Jia Dongxu couldn't wait to ask, "Where's the ginseng? Take it out and let me have a look."
Qin Huairu closed her eyes speechlessly. After calming down a bit, she pretended to be helpless and said, "Dongxu, ginseng is not a big radish. You can't just go out and look around to find it."
"That stuff is notoriously expensive. Not only do we know that ginseng is valuable, but everyone knows that ginseng is valuable. If ginseng outside the city was so easy to find, the folks living outside the city would have become rich long ago."
"Look at my shoes. They're soaked through after walking all day."
No ginseng found?
Jia Dongxu's face darkened when he heard this: "Useless thing, keep looking tomorrow. If we find a large ginseng like the one Chen Jun has, we will never have to worry about food and drink in this life."
Will you never have to worry about food and drink in this life?
Qin Huairu grinned. Forget about their whole life, it would be good enough for the Jia family to have enough food and drink during the New Year holidays.
Thinking that Jia Dongxu would drive her out to look for ginseng tomorrow, Qin Huairu said directly: "Dongxu, I have to go to the factory to work and can't look for ginseng."
"The closer it gets to the end of the year, the busier the factory gets, especially the kitchen. It's so busy that we have no time to rest. Sha Zhu urged me to go back to work a few days ago, otherwise he would hire someone to take my place."
"How dare he!" Jia Dongxu's attention was immediately diverted, and he cursed angrily: "What kind of person is Shazhu? When he saw me before, he had to politely call me Brother Dongxu."
"You have no conscience. It's only been a few years, and you dare to threaten our family."
"Those were the past, and this is now. Sha Zhu was just lucky enough to become the canteen monitor." Qin Huairu echoed and continued to talk about going to work at the factory tomorrow.
"Dongxu, you need to stay home and take care of Banggeng for the next few days. The steel mill will distribute New Year's goods at the end of the year, and maybe you can give me a few pounds of meat coupons."
"Also, the cafeteria has a lot of banquets at the end of the year. I'll bring you some dishes from the banquet, including pork elbows and meatballs."
Hearing about New Year's goods and food, Jia Dongxu nodded reluctantly.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about the ginseng after the New Year. Then you and Mom can go look for it together. You two will definitely find it."
Jia Dongxu still refused to give up his dream of getting rich overnight. It wasn't that he was stupid, but he was really stimulated by the more than 3,000 yuan.
He had never seen so much money in his life, and he was almost going crazy with envy.
Qin Huairu was not lying. The steel mill had indeed been very busy recently. Every workshop was rushing to meet the deadline. The cafeteria had more receptions because the directors had to maintain relationships at the end of the year. Even the private rooms in the factory were not enough.
That morning, Chen Jun was arranging for the kitchen staff to go to the warehouse to get the ingredients needed for today's reception.
Director Pei from the new workshop came to the door with a smile.
Speaking of Director Pei, he was transferred from a sister factory. He is a practical man. When the steel rolling mill established a machine tool workshop, he was directly assigned to the position of director of the new workshop.
"Director Chen is busy." Director Pei took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out two and handed them to Chen Jun.
Chen Jun took it upon seeing this, and then spoke first: "Director Pei, everything else is easy to deal with, but I can't offer you any hospitality. The next week is already fully booked. Director Yang alone needs a table every day. I really can't let you cut in line."
have to!
Seeing that Chen Jun had revealed his purpose, Director Pei was not embarrassed and laughed heartily: "Oh, Brother Chen, you are really amazing. You guessed what I wanted to talk to you about right away."
"But there's nothing I can do. I was just transferred to our factory this year and don't know all these intricacies. Who knew it would be so difficult to arrange the year-end reception? If I had known this, I would have come to you last month."
"Just be flexible and help your brother."
Director Pei brought the two closer with just a few words. Although they had rarely met each other, they became very familiar with each other as brothers.
Chen Jun pinched his brows with a headache. If he hadn't considered Director Pei's face, he would have wanted to refuse directly and kick the person out.
It was too busy. The receptionists in the cafeteria were so busy that Chen Jun didn't even have time to lie down and slack off in the office. It was such a waste of the recliner made by Director Song.
Although Sha Zhu can also cook some treats in the cafeteria, many people specifically ask for food made by the cafeteria director himself. In addition, there are so many people who need to be entertained at the end of the year that Chen Jun has the illusion of dreaming back to the days when he set up a stall.
"Director Pei, it's not that I don't want to help you, but our factory has too many people. If I agree to you now, dozens of people will definitely come to the cafeteria to look for me. I really can't do anything." With that, Chen Jun immediately shifted his focus: "How about you talk to the factory director and ask him to transfer a table for you. If he approves, I'm sure there will be no problem on my end."
I promised Director Pei that tomorrow there will be Director Zhao, Director Qian, Director Sun, Director Li...
It gives me a headache just thinking about it!
Director Pei had obviously thought of this, and he patted his chest loudly: "Don't worry, Brother Chen, I'm famously tight-lipped. I guarantee I won't reveal a single word."
"Besides, my table is in the evening, so it doesn't conflict with Director Yang and the others. It just means you'll have to work overtime, brother."
Director Pei was a smart man. He knew that there was no hope of cutting in line at noon, so he simply set the time in the evening.
night?
Chen Jun frowned when he heard this, and nodded after a moment: "Okay, then I will work overtime, but you can't tell anyone about this."
"Don't worry, brother, I won't let anyone know a word!" Seeing that Chen Jun agreed, Director Pei excitedly took out a match to light Chen Jun's cigarette.
