Seeing his reaction, Xiao Weiguo realized that his words had been somewhat abrupt.
The main reason is that I felt a little excited when I saw my childhood friend for the first time.
"Brother Baojun, please sit down. Do you smoke?"
Xiao Weiguo quickly changed the subject, took out a cigarette, and asked Xiao Baojun.
Xiao Wenjin then interjected.
"Weiguo, don't laugh at me, but this kid is up to no good. He started dating a girl as soon as he entered his senior year of high school, and he's completely obsessed with her, so he can't concentrate on his studies anymore."
People in this area generally start school late, some as young as eight or nine. So there are many who are still in high school at eighteen. For example, Liu Ye is considered a good student, and she is already nineteen and still in high school.
As for Xiao Shanshan, it will be even later; by the time she reaches her senior year of high school, she will be twenty.
When you reach a certain age, it's normal for a normal person to develop feelings for someone.
Xiao Weiguo didn't feel comfortable asking too many questions about this matter.
"Weiguo, to be honest, I came here today because I begged my grandfather. I hope you can give me face and let me work for you. I haven't been in school for almost two years, and I've been wanting to try my luck for a long time. Do you think it's feasible?"
Xiao Baojun was straightforward and explained his purpose in one breath.
Hearing him say that, Xiao Weiguo lowered his head and considered it for a moment.
If Xiao Baojun simply wanted an ordinary worker's job, and he met all the requirements, then of course there was no problem.
But judging from his tone, his purpose in coming to see him this time was not just to become an ordinary worker.
"Brother Baojun, what do you mean?"
Xiao Weiguo didn't understand his true intentions, so he tried to probe him with his words.
Xiao Baojun glanced at his grandfather and spoke frankly as always.
“Weiguo, although I have stayed at home all these years, I have still gone to school for a few years, so I know a little about what is happening outside.”
“The country’s policies are getting better and better for us, opening up many avenues for us. Many people from the south have already gone out and started to make a fortune by doing business, but here, you are the first person to achieve success.”
I was thinking, could you help me find a job that broadens my horizons? I don't care about the salary, as long as I can learn something and gain experience, I'm willing to do anything.
After saying that, he stared intently at Xiao Weiguo, as if afraid that he would refuse.
Xiao Weiguo also looked at him with surprise.
To be honest, in this era, there are not many people in the northern region who have the same awareness as Xiao Baojun. Even Xiao Weiguo himself in his previous life only had the idea of going out to see the world in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Even so, he still managed to amass a fortune of tens of billions.
To be honest, people who got rich in that era didn't rely entirely on their own abilities, but more on their vision and courage to take the first step.
Therefore, they were at the forefront of the trend and became the first group of people to take off by relying on national dividends.
Xiao Baojun's current awareness suggests that he couldn't have been completely unknown in his previous life. Xiao Weiguo wondered why he had never even heard of him before.
Perhaps it's because I left this place two years later?
That was all Xiao Weiguo could think.
"Brother Baojun, let me ask you, what are your special skills? For example, sales, social skills, technology, anything is fine."
Xiao Weiguo himself didn't want to put someone as courageous and knowledgeable as him in an ordinary worker's position.
Therefore, he wanted to know what Xiao Baojun was good at, and arranged a suitable position for him based on that, which would also help his growth and perhaps make him a capable assistant in the future.
Xiao Baojun shook his head.
"Weiguo, to be honest, after I dropped out of school, I stayed at home farming. In my spare time, I would read books and newspapers, but I really don't have any special skills."
This means he doesn't know anything, which puts Xiao Weiguo in a difficult position.
At this moment, Xiao Wenjin chimed in.
"Yes, of course! My Baojun is a heavy drinker. Would you say that counts as a special talent?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiguo's eyes lit up.
"Oh, you can drink? How much exactly? How many kilograms of baijiu?"
Xiao Baojun then shook his head and said, "I don't know how many kilograms I can drink. Anyway, no matter how much of that stuff I drink, I don't feel anything, and I can't taste anything good, so I rarely drink it."
Xiao Weiguo was overjoyed. He knew that Xiao Baojun was someone with what was known in his previous life as alcohol immunity, a very special constitution.
Simply put, these people metabolize alcohol very quickly in their bodies. Before it even has a chance to affect the central nervous system, it has already been metabolized and excreted from the body, so they won't get drunk no matter how much they drink.
Xiao Baojun was courageous, resourceful, and a good drinker—in Xiao Weiguo's mind, he was perfectly suited for a job: sales.
China has a long-standing drinking culture, with most business deals being made over drinks, especially in the early and mid-stages of reform and opening up, where it practically became a trend in the north. Whether a deal went through and whether someone was sincere depended entirely on how much alcohol they could drink at the table.
Thinking of this, Xiao Weiguo slapped his thigh and stood up.
“Brother Baojun, I’ve thought of a job. When are you free? Just come to the factory and find me, and I’ll arrange it for you.”
"Huh, what kind of work?"
Xiao Baojun was a little stunned by Xiao Weiguo's quick agreement.
He knew his place; he didn't care about ordinary temporary workers. He had his own aspirations.
"This job will broaden your horizons, let you see the world, and hone your skills. As long as you master this skill, I guarantee you will have a bright future. You'll see when the time comes."
