Chapter 343 I Have My Own Place
Bao Cheng looked incredulous. "The land for the crematorium was bought by your friend. Did you go to help her? I've heard of this, but I never thought it was your friend who bought it. How are you doing there?"
"Not bad. My friend was busy with other business, so he handed the factory construction over to me. Now I have the final say on most things in the factory."
Bao Cheng chuckled and slapped Li Xiang on the back. "No wonder you haven't shown up for so long. It turns out you've been quietly making a fortune. I was worried about you! But it's better this way. It's better than carrying heavy loads in the workshop. It's a shame to throw away this stable job."
"It's no pity. If I can't stay here, I'll find another place to stay! I'm happy working for my friend. Besides, she pays me well, so I'm willing to work for her!"
Bao Cheng: "I wonder what Director Zhang would think if he knew about this. You're a veteran employee from the early days of the factory. If he knew you were working for someone else, he'd definitely feel uncomfortable."
"He's forced me into a corner. If I don't go work for my friend, I'll be dead in the cotton mill." Li Xiang glanced at the kitchen and lowered his voice, "Brother Bao, I came here to get you to work with me. What do you think?"
Bao Cheng was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He quickly covered Li Xiang's mouth and whispered, "What are you talking about! I gave up a good, stable job to work for a self-employed person. How could that be possible?"
Li Xiang pulled his hand away. "Brother Bao, don't be so quick to refuse. I came here today to give you a heads up. As long as you agree to go to my friend's place, she will definitely not treat you unfairly. She's offering me this amount now. If you go, you'll only get more than me. Think about it carefully and discuss it with your sister-in-law."
Li Xiang said this and stretched out a finger.
Bao Cheng was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth: "One hundred yuan a month?"
"One hundred and twenty yuan, three times the salary at the cotton processing plant."
Bao Cheng nodded. "It's certainly a lot. A little over a thousand yuan a year, and in less than ten years I'll be a millionaire. But I can't promise you that. I've never thought about leaving the cotton processing plant. This is my roots, and I want to stay here forever."
"Don't be so quick to refuse. My friend wants to talk to you in person. I'm here today to give you some fresh air and to arrange a meeting with you on behalf of my friend. You can't just refuse this opportunity."
"They say competitors are enemies. If I go to see your friend without telling Director Zhang, I'll be a traitor who sells out my country for personal gain. If anyone in the factory finds out, they'll spit on me and I'll be drowned. I won't go."
Li Xiang looked very disappointed. "Brother Bao, this is the first time I've seen someone who can't get along with money. I heard that food coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons, sewing coupons, and plane tickets will all be cancelled. You have to spend money to buy everything. How can you support a whole family with your monthly salary of less than 50 yuan? Besides, Mr. Lin just wants to treat you to a meal. As a friend, a meal is not too much, right?"
Bao Cheng said seriously, "You don't have to say anything. I said I'm not going and that's it. If someone else said that in front of me today, I'd kick him out."
Seeing that he was really angry, Li Xiang said, "Okay, okay, can't you just forget I said anything? But what I said is valid for a long time. If you ever want to change jobs, just come to me directly."
At this time, Xu Cui came over with two plates of dishes.
