Chapter 147 Zhou Ran Enters the Factory
Zhou Ran had just finished the college entrance examination.
His mother, Ms. Zhao Ning, said, "You and Hongyu repeated a grade and took the college entrance exam together, but how come you haven't learned anything from them? You're already shouldering heavy responsibilities at the age of 18, and now you have a girlfriend, yet you're wasting food all day at home."
In a fit of rage, Zhou Ran threatened to be self-reliant. The couple was overjoyed and had been waiting for him to say this, so they cut off his financial support without saying a word.
In this way, Zhou Ran was miserably driven by the couple into the newly invested factory, and worked as an assistant under the regional general manager.
The new factory produces decorative building materials. The regional general manager, Lao Zhang, is a good leader with righteousness and integrity. His name is Zhang Zhi, and Zhou Ran's father specially poached him from another company.
On the day he went in, the couple personally handed him over to Old Zhang as if they were sending their eldest son to kindergarten.
Zhao Ning and his father Zhou Ji were deeply saddened that he had to support himself.
Old Zhang accepted the order and said to the couple with a smile, his big belly sticking out, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhao, I will definitely take good care of the young master."
Zhou Ran was horrified, but Lao Zhang didn't say anything nonsense and was quite caring towards him.
Forcing someone to do something is inhumane and cruel.
I arrived late on my first day at work.
General Manager Lao Zhang said to his right-hand man Xiao Zhang, "Xiao Zhang, remember this: if the young master is late, he will be deducted 200 yuan."
Zhou Ran was furious: "I make 120 a day, and you deduct 200 from me."
After Lao Zhang left, Xiao Zhang soothed him, "Calm down, I'll buy you a soda."
Whoever drinks soda, works for a whole day for nothing and still loses 80 yuan.
The next day, early morning.
Xiao Zhang called carefully: "Wake up, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Ran muttered, "Don't bother me."
Day 3, noon.
Xiao Zhang called him and said, "Mr. Zhou, where have you been? It's time to start work."
Zhou Ran was sleeping in his big bed, his eyelids half closed, and he was exhausted: "I quit."
…
After nine days of polishing, I am still sleepy.
Xiao Zhang’s daily task is to wake up the lazy young master who never wakes up. Under pressure, he bought a folding bed in his office for him to take a nap.
Zhou Ran patted his shoulder with emotion: "True love in the world, you are my good brother."
Day 10, noon.
After delivering the samples, Zhou Ran swaggered into the office before the end of the working day, bringing a pillow with him.
Lying on the folding bed, I began to sigh. I had to brave the scorching sun every day to deliver samples to dealers. I was criticized in all kinds of ways and couldn't talk back. I had never felt so aggrieved.
I have to talk to Zhou Ji and get a raise. As I was thinking about it, I soon fell asleep with the air conditioner on.
Xiao Zhang came in with a stack of documents. Seeing him sleeping peacefully on the folding bed, he was startled and quickly closed the office door.
He put down the information, stared at him for a while, shook his head and went out for some fresh air.
When Old Zhang saw this scene, he would probably vomit blood. A prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as a commoner.
Allowing people who come to get off work late or leave early to sleep in the office before the end of the working day.
This is a major offense that warrants deduction of wages.
Zhou Ran had just fallen asleep when Xiao Zhang's voice drifted into his ears: "Mr. Zhou, it's time for dinner."
Have a meal?
Zhou Ran rose from the folding bed, his eyes hazy. "Have you eaten yet? What's for dinner today?"
Xiao Zhang said awkwardly, "I'm having a boxed lunch today. I'll have to trouble you to go to Dongcheng District to deliver some information later..."
Zhou Ran adjusted his hair, which had been a mess since World War II. His only joy of the day was gone in an instant. He was exhausted, both physically and mentally. He said lamentably, "Why is it another boxed lunch? I want the braised beef and spicy chicken from the cafeteria."
He hasn't had a full meal in the past ten days.
Xiao Zhang changed his tone: "Master, Mr. Zhang said there is a bonus of 100 yuan this time."
Zhou Ran stared in surprise and raised his index finger: "One hundred yuan?"
They actually paid him a hundred yuan to run errands, and it was in a place as far away as Dongcheng District.
Xiao Zhang thought that the one hundred yuan deeply moved him and nodded: "Yes."
"No, I want to eat in the cafeteria today instead of a boxed lunch." What can you do to me? Zhou Ran lay back and stared at the ceiling.
What a sin!
Xiao Zhang said in embarrassment: "Master, if you don't go, you will lose your salary for today."
So, they found a new way to deduct his salary!
Zhou Ran pulled out a pillow and threw it at him. Xiao Zhang caught it and coaxed him, "Calm down. You can buy a lot of ice cream with a hundred yuan."
Zhou Ran is a carefree, carefree type, young and energetic, righteous and righteous, and he never gets angry with anyone. Having never suffered the harshness of society and having lived a good life, it's normal for him to be arrogant.
Being suddenly thrown here and managed like an employee was a multiple blow to my heart.
The problem is that he's already had five days' wages deducted from his salary after nine days, and he's still being paid monthly. Xiao Zhang feels bad for him and hopes he can keep the tenth day's pay.
Xiao Zhang's name is Zhang Xiaohui. He is only in his twenties. He just graduated from university and got a regular job here not long ago. He has a good temper and is tactful in his dealings. Naturally, people are willing to accommodate him.
In order to protect his salary, Zhou Ran got up impatiently and put on his shoes.
Xiao Zhang opened his lunch box and handed over the chopsticks: "Eat slowly. I'll go see if the information is out."
Xiao Zhang was kind to him and helped him with many things, so he couldn't let his kindness go to waste.
The others who are one level higher than Xiao Zhang look down on him.
They made things difficult for him all day long, even asking him to help screw in the new desks that were delivered to the office. I don't know if that cruel couple had given them permission before doing so.
Only the senior leaders and Xiao Zhang knew that he was Zhou Ji's son, no one else knew.
Although it is not easy to earn a living after being thrown into the factory, there is still great love in the world. His appearance alone arouses the sympathy of the administrative and financial sisters in the factory.
Occasionally, I would secretly give him some snacks and pack his meals from the cafeteria.
The finance department often talked behind Zhang's back about how he was a bad person and bullied such a handsome guy.
Things change over time. Don't be afraid. Work hard and you will surely achieve something that will surpass him.
Zhou Ran was at a loss for words and remained silent every time.
He took a few mouthfuls of rice and put down his chopsticks when he found it unpalatable.
Just as he finished packing, Xiao Zhang pushed the door open and handed him a stack of documents: "I sent you the address on WeChat."
"Oh!" Zhou Ran was secretly delighted when he saw the information. Finally, he didn't have to send samples. He took the information and flicked it off cheerfully. "It's no big deal."
Xiao Zhang looked embarrassed: "Um, there is another car."
Zhou Ran raised his voice: "A car?"
Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "It's not a truck, don't worry, it's a van with a dedicated driver to serve you. You don't have to worry about loading and unloading the goods, and you don't have to catch the bus, it's all arranged."
Small tasks like delivering documents are usually not reimbursed, and you have to pay for taxis out of your own pocket, which is difficult.
"Alright!" Zhou Ran replied reluctantly, "It's a van."
The van belongs to the factory. Some dealers want a large number of samples, so they can only be transported by van.
Zhou Ran sat down in the passenger seat, but the driver had not arrived yet.
The sun was blazing, and the car was as hot as a steamer. He lifted up his T-shirt in front of his chest to fan himself while searching for the air-conditioning switch.
The driver opened the door and got in: "Oh! It's so hot out here!"
Zhou Ran glanced at him and said, "Turn on the air conditioner."
The driver grinned and said, "The air conditioner is getting hotter and hotter. Let's open the windows later and it will be cooler when we drive."
When Zhou Ran was about to get out of the car, the driver had already started the car, released the handbrake, shifted the gears, released the clutch, and stepped on the accelerator.
“…” Zhou Ran leaned his back against the hot chair, his whole body steaming, and began a long sweat steaming journey.
The driver drove onto the highway, the speed limit was 80, he skillfully shifted gears, and stepped on the accelerator from 30 to 70: "Little brother, cool down! Hahahaha~"
Zhou Ran: “…”
He was a little fed up with the driver. He felt unhappy when he thought that his good brother was still in a relationship, enjoying air conditioning and eating delicious food.
There were still ten kilometers to go, and I was sweating profusely while sending a message to Wang Hongyu to pass the time.
Zhou Ran: Brother, please treat me to dinner tonight.
Wang Hongyu replied: Don’t you think the food in the cafeteria is delicious?
Zhou Ran played the victim: "Stop talking. I haven't had enough to eat these days. I don't care! You have to pay for dinner tonight."
Wang Hongyu: We’ll go to No. 1 Middle School and have dinner at Xiaoxiao’s house in the evening.
Zhou Ran was typing when the driver next to him suddenly popped his head out and yelled, "...The road next to you is so wide, but you're not going to use it? You're insisting on overtaking, right?"
Hearing the sound, Zhou Ran looked in the rearview mirror and saw a white Mercedes following very closely behind them. It followed for a while with its lane-changing lights on and then changed to the right lane.
In broad daylight, he flashed his high beams at them twice and honked his horn.
The driver was a man who refused to give up. He sped up and kept pace with the car in front, preventing it from overtaking him.
Zhou Ran shook his head and held up his phone to chat.
The driver turned the steering wheel and looked at the rearview mirror frequently: "Hey, you gave me face."
The cars on both sides obviously noticed something was going on and were afraid of rear-end collisions, so they moved to the lanes on the farthest sides.
Zhou Ran realized that his life was now in the hands of his master.
Be prepared to give advice, drive calmly, and cherish life.
Unexpectedly, the white Mercedes behind risked running a red light and stepped on the accelerator when the light in front turned yellow.
The car tilted towards them, and the two people inside heard a scraping sound at the same time.
The white Mercedes Benz whizzed past them when it jumped at a yellow light, and soon only the rear of the car was visible.
The driver slammed the steering wheel and braked, and Zhou Ran was almost thrown out. He exclaimed, "Oh my god!"
Their broken bread was scraped away by the Mercedes-Benz, that's awesome.
The driver next to him wiped his sweat, turned on the emergency lights, and pulled the car to the side of the road to check.
There was a long and wide scratch on the rear door, and Zhou Ran got out of the car safely.
"Tsk tsk." Zhou Ran thought that it was not a big deal as long as no one was killed. This broken bread was fine, but the white Mercedes-Benz was probably in even worse shape, right?
The driver called the police and the two went to the traffic management bureau to check the surveillance footage.
Zhou Ran could finally relax and enjoy the air conditioning. He slumped in his chair, looked at the driver, and kindly reminded him, "Hey, master, don't do this with other people in the car next time. It's dangerous."
The driver felt embarrassed, but seeing that he was an intern, he glanced at him again and said nothing.
After the staff got the number of the owner of the white Mercedes-Benz, they called several times but no one answered.
The driver called again and said, "We can't just stay here. We have a lot of things to do today."
Zhou Ran was not in a hurry: "Give me a call."
The driver gave him the number and Zhou Ran sent a text message.
[Brother, you're so brave! You hit and ran. Your car's badly scratched, right? Where can I get it repaired? You're not a man if you run away. You have three minutes to call back, or the police will blacklist you.]
I stared at the clock and two minutes passed, but there was still no reply.
Zhou Ran started sending messages again because of such lack of respect. Just after typing two words, the number called him.
He held up his phone and said to the driver next to him, "It's calling."
Swipe to answer and put the phone to your ear.
"Hello!" The voice on the phone was pleasant.
Female?
Zhou Ran was stunned for a moment, then he became serious and straightened his back: "Hello!"
The person on the phone asked, "Are you the owner of the van?"
He is not the one. The van belongs to the factory and it should not be his father's name.
Zhou Ran had no choice but to say seriously: "Your car scratched ours, let's go to the traffic police station to deal with it!"
The voice on the phone was gentle and soft. He first apologized, then said sincerely that he would come right away and asked me to send him the address.
His tone was serious and his attitude was upright, unlike the man who had just driven the car.
"Okay!" Zhou Ran hung up the phone and sent the address to the unfamiliar number.
Not long after, Zhou Ran was sitting in a chair in the hall playing with his mobile phone. When he got tired, he raised his eyelids to relax. Through the glass door, he saw a girl walking in calmly under the sun.
The girl looked about the same age as him, dressed casually and carrying an expensive cross-body bag.
Zhou Ran immediately put down his legs, sat up straight, and kept his eyes on her until she walked in.
Which family’s precious daughter.
The girl came in and looked around. When her gaze met his, Zhou Ran's heart suddenly stopped and then beat a little faster.
The girl slowly walked over and asked calmly, "Hello, are you the owner of the van?"
Zhou Ran has a lot of lawsuits on his mind. Although he works in a factory, he dresses very handsomely every day. He doesn't look like a van driver, right?
Zhou Ran suppressed his indifferent nature and replied, "No."
The girl was slightly startled, as if she was in a dilemma. She was silent and said, "I'm sorry."
Zhou Ran didn't wait for her to turn around and look for someone, raising his voice: "But, I was in a van today and got scared. What's your name?"
“…”
The girl said seriously: "My name is Yan Nian, Yan means color, Nian means miss."
Zhou Ran curled his lips, stood up and held out his hand: "Zhou Ran, then Ran."
"..." Yan Nian raised his hand and shook it back: "Yes."
Zhou Ran requested private mediation, and the two took Yan Nian to see the van.
Seeing that she was a young girl, the driver said, "I'll give you a price after we finish repairing it! We're not out to extort money. We'll just touch up the paint and see if there are any other problems."
"Okay," Yan Nian said to Zhou Ran, "How about this! I'll add your WeChat and tell me how much it costs. I rarely answer the phone."
The driver knew that he was Mr. Zhang's assistant and the car belonged to the factory, so he was also responsible for this matter. He stood aside and said nothing.
"No problem!" Zhou Ran took out his cell phone and asked her to add him.
A friend verification was sent by someone named 'Niannian' on WeChat.
Zhou Ran clicked through and still thought, maybe her nickname should be Nian Nian.
"That's it," the driver said. "That's about it! There's a lot to do!"
"Trouble!" Yan Nian said and made way.
Zhou Ran got in the car and, ignoring the heat, looked at other people's Moments. There was nothing there except a few photos of daily life and delicious food.
He leaned back in his chair, staring ahead, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and he silently muttered in his heart: "Yan Nian."
