Chapter 186
"Boss! You're finally back!"
As soon as Sun Xiaojun and Zhou Peng entered the Sichuan restaurant, they shouted excitedly.
Lei Tingjun stood up and waved to his brothers: "You're all here, have a seat."
Then Lei Tingjun saw a dozen or twenty people following behind them, walking in in a large group.
Everyone surrounded Lei Tingjun, chattering amongst themselves:
"Boss, where did you go after you left the factory?"
"Brother Lei, you have no idea how arrogant Zuo Quangui and his gang have become since you left the factory!"
"Sigh, we still miss the days when Boss Lei was around."
Although Lei Tingjun is no longer with Dongfang Factory, his reputation and legend still live on there.
Back then, he beat up Deputy Factory Director Yang and his son, and bravely gave up his own job to protect his brother. These deeds have ensured that the name Lei Tingjun still has an influence today.
Especially the few people in the four-person dormitory who were closest to Lei Tingjun.
Upon seeing Lei Tingjun, Sun Xiaojun became extremely excited, fawning over him and calling him "Brother Lei" repeatedly, serving him tea and water at his beck and call.
Zhou Peng also chuckled and gathered around, eager to know where Lei Tingjun had gone after leaving Pingquan.
The Thunder Army team that returned this time showed significant changes.
He has shed some of his former unruly and arrogant air, and gained a more reserved and mature demeanor, as well as a calm and wise temperament.
When you speak to him, his deep, insightful black eyes reveal a contemplative depth that defies easy reading of his emotions, making it difficult to discern his true feelings.
Just by sitting there casually with his legs crossed, he exudes a powerful aura that makes people unconsciously submit.
Even his clothes, appearance, and hairstyle have changed noticeably.
As the saying goes, you can tell whether a person is doing well or not just by looking at their demeanor and clothing.
Lei Tingjun never used to dress so elegantly. He always wore a faded short-sleeved shirt and the work clothes issued by the factory. He never cared about his appearance and always dressed as roughly as possible.
Old Xiao was observant. As soon as he entered, he noticed a pickup truck with a Pingdong license plate parked outside the Sichuan restaurant and asked, "Boss, did you drive that pickup truck back?"
"Yes, we bought a few used vehicles and set up a transport team in Pingdong," Lei Tingjun said.
His tone was flat; he was simply stating a fact.
Catching up with old buddies.
But when Zhou Peng and his group heard it, they were utterly shocked.
Lei bought a car?
He even bought several vehicles at once. He had only been away from the Dongfang factory for two months when he formed a transportation team.
Sun Xiaojun's eyes lit up as he leaned closer: "Boss, do you make a lot of money in the transport team? I heard that A-Qiang quit recycling and went to Pingdong to work for you. Is that true?"
Lei Tingjun invited the other brothers to sit down and eat, and nodded, saying, "That's right. I had some business to attend to when I came back, so A-Qiang stayed in the convoy to look after things. He didn't come back with me, but I guess he'll be back in the next day or two."
Zhou Peng and Sun Xiaojun exchanged a glance, both seeing a spark of attraction in each other's eyes.
Lei Laoda went out to work for a transport team, and in just two months, he made money and even bought a truck.
They worked themselves to the bone at the Dongfang factory, working night shifts every month, and only earned a little over a hundred yuan a month.
When will I be able to afford a car?
It seems that doing business is indeed more profitable than working in a factory.
These days, there are many news reports about people who sell their houses in their hometowns, borrow money to go to Guangzhou or Shenzhen to start businesses, and become rich in a few years.
Zhou Peng was itching to take advantage of this opportunity; he was the most shrewd of them all.
He made his decision quickly. The moment he learned that Lei Tingjun had formed his own transportation team, he had a plan in just a few seconds.
Zhou Peng asked Lei Tingjun, "Brother Lei, is your transport team short of people? You know I can drive too, so why don't I come and work for you?"
When the other brothers heard Zhou Peng ask that question, they all turned their eyes to him.
Many people's eyes revealed a restless desire.
Among the factory workers at Dongfang Factory, the name Lei Tingjun was like a symbol, a signboard.
Everyone shares the same understanding: following Boss Lei in everything is always the right thing to do.
Lei Laoda is a righteous and generous man; he would never mistreat his brothers.
Lei Tingjun glanced at everyone, and only then did he realize that his return might have had a psychological impact on these brothers who had never left Pingquan.
He didn't answer immediately, but instead said to Zhou Peng, "What, you don't want to work in the factory anymore?"
“The transport team works very hard. Driving long distances every day is more tiring than working in a factory workshop. Sometimes when we’re busy, we don’t have time to sleep for a whole day and night.” Lei Tingjun put a fried peanut in his mouth. “When A-Qiang and I first started doing waste recycling, we didn’t rest for seven or eight days straight.”
It was only thanks to his and A-Qiang's bodies, which were used to rough work, that they were able to withstand it.
If it were someone like Lao Xiao, he wouldn't be able to handle it for two or three days.
Zhou Peng stated, "Brother Lei, you know me, Zhou Peng. I'm not afraid of hard work or fatigue, but I want to make money!"
"Brother Lei, if you're willing to let me work for you, I'll go back and resign from my job with Director Wang right now. I can pack my things and go to Pingdong with you tomorrow!"
Hearing Zhou Peng's words, Sun Xiaojun also became a little anxious.
He definitely wanted to follow Brother Lei, make big money outside, buy a car, that would be so glamorous.
