The two arrived at the entrance of the grain depot. It was past working hours, so there weren't many people passing by.
"Brother Xiangyang, what made you decide to come see me?" Yan Laosan smiled and handed him a cigarette, then lit one for himself.
Xu Xiangyang did not refuse. After the two of them smoked for a while, he said, "Third Brother, I don't like to bother people unless it's necessary. You should know that."
This is indeed the truth. Yan Laosan knew exactly what kind of person Xu Xiangyang was.
He smiled and nodded, "Brother, just tell me if you need anything. If your third brother can help, he definitely will."
Both of them are very down-to-earth, so they don't have many hidden agendas when they talk.
Just as Xu Xiangyang was about to ask him to help find a temporary worker, someone came over.
"Comrade Xu? Where have you been?"
Xu Xiangyang turned around and saw that it was Xiao Qian from before.
Xiao Qian was very happy to see him and immediately ran over.
"Comrade Xu, after you helped me before, my master wanted to find you again."
Xu Xiangyang was puzzled by this and asked, "Looking for me? What do you want?"
He didn't know Xiao Qian's master, and he didn't know anyone in the grain bureau except for the grain depot.
Xiao Qian smiled and said, "Didn't you help out with a trip before? Our fleet is short-staffed, so we were wondering if you'd be willing to come and be a driver."
At that time, there were very few skilled drivers; most of them were working for various organizations, and there were no idle people.
Training apprentices is too slow, and I don't dare let them handle things over long distances, so I can only take it slowly.
Xu Xiangyang was overjoyed to hear this. Would he like it or not? Of course he would.
However, you shouldn't be too overreacting at this time; you should be a little reserved.
"Really? But I'm not that good at driving. If the organization needs me, I'll definitely go." He said with a smile.
This statement neither implies a refusal nor an eager acceptance.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qian laughed and said, "Comrade Xu, if you can't drive, who dares to say you can? Come on, I'll take you to see my master."
Yan Laosan, who was standing to the side, was stunned. He had felt it was a pity that Xu Xiangyang had been fired from the grain depot, but now he was going to be a driver.
Xu Xiangyang turned to Yan Laosan and said, "Third Brother, I'll go first, and I'll come find you during lunch break."
I was originally thinking of asking Yan Laosan for help, but now that I've secured a job, I'll go check it out first.
Yan Laosan nodded quickly, "Go on."
This work is the most important thing; everything else is trivial.
However, one has to admire Xu Xiangyang's good luck; he's a good driver and has that skill.
Xu Xiangyang followed Xiao Qian to the driver's rest room and inquired about some things along the way.
Xiao Qian's mentor is Chen Jiancai, a man in his forties. He usually likes to drink and smoke, but he doesn't have a bad temper.
Xu Xiangyang didn't believe it; after all, you can't judge a person's character by what others say.
Listening to another person based on what others say is the most foolish thing to do.
When they arrived at the lounge, there were only two people chatting inside.
Xiao Qian stepped forward and greeted him, "Master, I've brought Comrade Xu with me."
Chen Jiancai glanced at Xu Xiangyang and, seeing how young he was, began to have some doubts. Was this person really as skilled at driving as Xiao Qian had said?
"Hello, Master Chen, my name is Xu Xiangyang." Xu Xiangyang greeted him in a very generous manner.
Although he could tell that Chen Jiancai had some suspicions about him, he didn't think that suspicions were important.
The most important thing is to make a good first impression.
Chen Jiancai nodded and asked, "Comrade Xu, I heard you can drive, where did you learn?"
I already assisted him with his car last time, which means his driving skills are definitely not a problem.
After all, it takes a short day to travel round trip, and you can't drive it if the handlebars aren't up to par.
How could Xu Xiangyang say he learned at a driving school? He had no choice but to lie.
"I learned it at a relative's house far away. My cousin is a long-distance driver, and I often hang out with him. Master Chen should know what I mean." He smiled, pretending to know.
Chen Jiancai nodded. At this time, his relatives were all willing to hang out with the driver and go on a few trips with him whenever they had free time, just wanting to learn how to drive.
So, Xu Xiangyang's ability to drive can be explained by this.
He said, "Comrade Xu, we can't skip this assessment. Get ready, we'll go take the assessment in a bit, and then we'll process your vehicle permit from the bureau."
In other words, with the vehicle permit, he became the bureau's driver.
Xu Xiangyang was overjoyed and immediately nodded in agreement, "No problem, Master Chen."
The three left the lounge and went straight to the parking lot.
Chen Jiancai drove out a truck and then let him drive it in the yard.
After a series of operations, Xu Xiangyang met the required standards, and Master Chen was very satisfied.
"Not bad." Chen Jiancai looked at Xu Xiangyang with satisfaction and said, "At your age, you're still an apprentice. Keep up the good work."
He was very satisfied; at the very least, the driving skills were excellent, even more so than when he was holding the handlebars himself.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangyang knew that he had passed the assessment.
Chen Jiancai took him to a few more places to complete some procedures, and he can officially start work tomorrow.
When Xu Xiangyang received the vehicle permit and some supporting documents, he was still feeling dizzy.
That's it? The job's been secured?
Isn't that a bit too fast?
He had been thinking about it for a long time at home and wanted to ask someone to find him a temporary worker.
I came in today and became a full-time employee, and I'm even a driver!
Absolutely!
After completing the formalities, Chen Jiancai told him to come and report for duty the next day, and then went out to take care of other matters.
Xu Xiangyang turned to Xiao Qian and said, "Comrade Qian, let's go out for a meal together? Thanks to you for your hard work today."
Why aren't you eating in the cafeteria at lunchtime? Why are you going out to eat?
Xiao Qian waved his hand and said, "Comrade Xu, we'll be working together in the future, so let's skip this meal and talk about it later."
He knew that Xu Xiangyang came from the countryside and that things must be tough for him. If he were to eat a meal, Xu's family would probably go hungry for half a month.
This is not an exaggeration. A meal in the city costs at least one dollar, not including tickets.
One yuan is enough to buy more than ten kilograms of cornmeal. If you make porridge, it can last for half a month.
Xu Xiangyang could tell he wasn't just being polite, so he didn't insist. There's plenty of time later; we can talk about it then.
If it weren't for Xiao Qian today, Chen Jian probably wouldn't have found a job. If someone hadn't mentioned it, would Chen Jian even know about it?
He probably wouldn't care; these days, there's never a shortage of replacements for good jobs.
This trip to the city has been a success. At least he's satisfied with his current job; he's a permanent employee now.
