Chapter 154 Job Applicants
The next day was Sunday, but Fang Mingche couldn't sleep in. He got up early, had breakfast, and drove to the Overseas Chinese Apartment with Lingzi. In addition to the five-day tour, the travel agency also organized a one-day tour. Another day they had to go to the airport to pick up tourists.
So, in fact, the travel agency is working seven days a week. The car only has half a day of inspection and maintenance time a week. However, not all staff work seven days a week. Everyone works six days and rests one day, but it is not necessarily fixed on Sundays.
Sometimes they have to adjust their days off or make up for the rest. However, the driver Xiao Shen and the translator Qiu Yin who worked overtime during the New Year could have made up for nine days off. But they chose to take three days off and the other six days were discounted. Fang Mingche didn't care about these details, they told Lingzi themselves. Then Gao Xiang calculated how much salary should be discounted, and Lin Yan would pay it on the 15th.
Now Lingzi, the office director, is becoming more and more competent. Many details are sorted out in detail, which makes Fang Mingche worry-free. In the past few months, she has actually taken on a lot of work that was originally supposed to be done by Lin Yan. Lin Yan, the boss lady, will definitely not just be a cashier. So if Lingzi really goes to the United States in a few months, Lin Yan should have given birth successfully by then, and the child should be 100 days old. The successor will not have to take care of so many things and have such great authority.
Wei You, Fang Mingche has actually never trained him to be an administrative staff. Let's see how his college entrance examination results are in August before making arrangements. He is learning English and driving, so he is considered a backup force.
In addition, Xiao Gang, the cousin of my aunt, also said that he wanted to come to work during the summer vacation. Fang Mingche's impression of Xiao Gang is much better than Lin Yi. Although he is also an only child, he was brought up very well. He is also in the college entrance examination graduating class, but not many people can get into college in one go now. I hope he can succeed!
Driving over with Lingzi one after the other, Fang Mingche saw a man of the same age as himself standing next to the recruitment notice posted outside the Overseas Chinese Apartment and looking at it. He seemed a little moved but also a little hesitant.
After entering and stopping the car, he said to Lingzi, "Go and see the man just now and ask him what he is hesitating about."
The requirements on the notice are so high, and he must have some confidence in himself to dare to stand there and watch. But he must also ask clearly what he is hesitating about before talking about the next step.
Lingzi nodded and walked out directly. Fang Mingche asked Qiu Yin, Ning Anan and others who came with the car to go upstairs first. Although everyone watched a movie and slept late last night, they all got on the car at 8 o'clock this morning, and no one missed the job. How valuable is work nowadays, especially such a high-income job. No one dares to take it lightly!
Fang Mingche looked very kind and never lost his temper. But the premise is that they did their job well.
After a while, Lingzi brought the man in, "Teacher Fang, he wants to know whether we look at the background when recruiting people. I told him about Teacher Qiu, but he still wants to ask you directly."
Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay, let's go upstairs and talk about it." It seems that this problem is more serious than Teacher Qiu. What could it be?
The three of them took the elevator upstairs together.
The driver and two people from the Japanese team were already there. And Wei You, although he was the farthest away, he also arrived early by bike. The working time was 8:30, which was not too strict. If you are far away, then get up early.
Fang Mingche said to the man: "Come in first and talk to our Japanese tour guide. Lao Cui, come in for a moment."
He took a look and called Cui Yingqi's name. He had to weigh this person first. If he didn't meet the requirements, then there was no need to talk about the rest. As for the class background issue, Fang Mingche didn't think it was a big problem. The college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, and class background was no longer considered when registering. The chief designer's attitude was still very clear, and he would recruit talents regardless of their background.
After entering, Fang Mingche sat down directly. Cui Yingqi sat down on Gao Xiang's chair, and then pointed to the chair in front of the desk, "Sit down. Since you are reading the recruitment notice below, I think you know the basic situation. Then you should introduce yourself first and talk about the advantages of applying for this job."
Fang Mingche thought that he would sneak out to work illegally, and his quality was probably average. But later he heard that Cui Yingqi was a high school student, who failed the college entrance examination and was under great pressure from his family, so he took this step, so he had more expectations for him. Now he saw that he was in a serious interview, and his questions were indeed on point.
The other party nodded, "My name is Qin Tian, I am 26 years old this year. I didn't go to school much, and my family taught me to read and write. I once lived in Xi'an for nine years, which is my advantage. Many people know that Japanese has borrowed a lot from Chinese, but they don't know that Japanese has also borrowed a lot from Shaanxi dialect in pronunciation."
Fang Mingche really didn't know this. He looked at Cui Yingqi, who thought about it and heard people say this in Japan. So he nodded, indicating that it was true.
He was not surprised that Qin Tian didn't study or go to school. Because of his bad class background, he was not eligible for school in those years. As for how he went to the countryside in Xi'an, since he didn't say that he went to the countryside, he shouldn't be an educated youth. Maybe he was sent down with his parents.
Qin Tian said: "I can speak a section of Xi'an dialect for you to listen to."
He immediately said a long string of words, and Fang Mingche seemed to listen to it a little like Japanese. He had listened to Japanese original TV series in his previous life. At that time, Yanyan couldn't find the resources of the dubbed film, so she watched it online by guessing. He also listened.
Cui Yingqi listened carefully, and then said: "He didn't speak Japanese. It seems that Japanese really borrowed some words from the pronunciation of Chang'an dialect back then."
After that, he taught Qin Tian a few Japanese sentences on the spot, and the other party imitated it very well. Cui Yingqi nodded, he thought it was okay.
Fang Mingche said: "So it seems that being able to speak the dialect in Xi'an is indeed helpful for learning Japanese. Okay, Lao Cui, you go out first."
Since it has been proven that he is the talent needed by the travel agency, let's talk about the class background.
Cui Yingqi got up and went out, closing the door.
Fang Mingche said, "Qin Tian, come and sit down. You were just worried about the class background issue, what's the situation with your family?"
Qin Tian hesitated and said, "My grandfather participated in the Long March."
Fang Mingche's eyes widened in shock. How could this be a class background issue? What a glorious resume! No, if that were the case, Qin Tian wouldn't be worried. He waited quietly for the next words.
Qin Tian lowered his head and said, "My grandfather's superior is Xue Yue."
Fortunately, Fang Mingche didn't drink water, otherwise he would probably spit it out. You call that participating in the Long March? However, Xue Yue's troops did follow and chase for most of the "25,000 miles".
He was silent for a while and said seriously, "I personally admire Xue Yue and his troops for their contributions in the War of Resistance. The Battle of Changsha and the Tianlu tactics annihilated 100,000 Japanese troops. They are undoubted anti-Japanese heroes!"
Qin Tian raised his head, his face full of astonishment. No one would say that now!
Fang Mingche said: "Tell your grandfather to take good care of himself. History will certainly recognize their achievements, and the country and the people will also recognize their achievements. On New Year's Day in 1979, the National Senior Officials Conference issued a "Message to Taiwan Compatriots", and the attitude has changed. "
In the past, they talked about 'liberating Taiwan', but this time it was not mentioned. Moreover, they no longer bombarded the door.
Qin Tian blinked and blushed slightly.
Fang Mingche said: "As for whether to use you, we will make a comprehensive judgment after we interview all the applicants who are interested in the job. You leave a phone number or address where you can be found. If you are hired within half a month, we will notify you in person."
He wanted to recruit this person into the travel agency. But it's better to ask whether he can use it. Because if something happens, it's not his responsibility.
Qin Tian took the paper and pen and left an address. As for the phone, ordinary people can't get it.
Fang Mingche said: "Is your family in financial difficulties?"
Otherwise, knowing that it is very likely that you will be rejected, you won't have the courage to try.
Qin Tian nodded with some embarrassment. Their family is really in a difficult situation now. The old man is sick and has no money for treatment. Even the rice jar at home is almost empty.
Fang Mingche stood up and walked to the hanger at the door of his office, and took out five big unity notes from the inner pocket of his coat. He had more than 60 in his pocket. A Yan said that he is a businessman now, and
he can't be short of money when he goes out. It should be enough to solve the urgent problem! Qin Tian raised his hand to refuse, he couldn't pay it back!
If you can't pay it back and still borrow it from others, it means you don't intend to pay it back, which is a rogue behavior. "This fifty is considered as a loan from me to you. If the travel agency uses you, it will be deducted from your salary in the future; if the travel agency can't use you, I personally have two scrap yards. If you don't mind, you can go to work at the scrap yard. You can get a promotion after working for three to six months, and you can get this much per month with commission. So don't worry about not being able to pay it back!"
Qin Tian hesitated, "Then I'll write you an IOU. I definitely don't mind, as long as there is work for me."
He immediately wrote the IOU and took the fifty yuan. Before leaving, he turned back and bowed deeply to Fang Mingche.
After he walked out, he realized that the other party didn't even ask to see his ID.
Fang Mingche really didn't worry that he was a liar. In this day and age, if you lie that your grandfather was a former member of the Kuomintang, you are definitely scratching your head. No one would do such a thing!
After the people left, he came out and looked at the phone. Then he picked it up and called Mr. Wang's courtyard.
"Grandpa Wang, this is Xiao Fang, Fang Mingche. Is it convenient for you now? I'll come to see you."
Mr. Wang was a little puzzled. What can't be said on the phone?
"Okay, I'm at home, come over."
Fang Mingche hung up the phone and said to Lingzi: "Go to the post office to register tomorrow. I need an extension in my office."
Today's incident was also a reminder for him that he needed an extension inside. You can't just come out and call for everything.
Lingzi took out a notepad and wrote it down, "Okay." Only she can go for this matter and take her family's household registration book.
Fang Mingche extended his hand to Wei You, "Lend me your bike."
At this moment, two business cars were picking up tourists for a trip.
Wei You quickly took out his hand and handed it to him, "Do you want gloves?"
Fang Mingche nodded.
After he went downstairs, he rode Wei You's bike straight to Mr. Wang's courtyard. It was a bit far, and it would take about an hour to ride. But riding all the way like this, he felt warm.
When he arrived, he was let in directly. Mr. Wang's Secretary Wu heard the news and came out to pick him up. He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What do you have to come and talk about?"
Fang Mingche said, "We don't have an extension for the time being, so it's not very convenient to talk."
"Then go in and talk."
He was led directly to the study. Mr. Wang asked someone to serve him a cup of tea, "Don't worry, talk slowly."
Fang Mingche took two sips of hot tea and said, "Grandpa Wang, it's actually not a big deal. It's mainly not convenient to talk in the big office." Things are done in secrecy, and some things should not be publicized for the time being.
He told the story again, and added: "I have asked someone to go to the post office tomorrow to register and install an extension."
Old Master Wang said: "We are really a makeshift team! I know your attitude."
This is very clear. If Fang Mingche didn't want to use this person, he could just reject him directly. Since he came here to ask, he must want to use him.
He thought about it, "Okay, if you think he is a useful talent, just accept him. It's not a big deal!"
Fang Mingche knew that this was enough. It's not convenient for him to express more attitudes at the moment. When we go back to the travel agency, we will downplay this matter and just say that Qin Tian is a rare talent. Well, don't even mention his family background.
Old Master Wang looked at the wall clock, "It's eleven thirty, have lunch before leaving. If you come here, it would be unreasonable for me not to even keep you for dinner."
If he goes back now, he will either miss the meal or have to eat out on the way.
Wang Dexian was summoned to accompany him because Old Master Wang and Fang Mingche were not very familiar with each other. Besides, the old man also took the time to meet Fang Mingche.
Wang Dexian didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Fang Mingche repeat Qin Tian's words 'My grandfather participated in the Long March'. He didn't need to be too taboo when talking in private, and said directly: "I think the attitude of the superiors now has a bit of the meaning of 'After all the hardships, brothers are still here, and they will forget their grudges with a smile when they meet'."
Fang Mingche nodded, "I also felt the same way after reading the "Letter to Compatriots in Taiwan". I heard that the local government is going to repair the ancestral tombs of the Jiang family."
Wang Dexian said: "You are quite well-informed."
But he didn't ask in detail, there are people from all over the world in the university.
Fang Mingche remembered the report he saw in his previous life: In 1993, the famous anti-Japanese general Xue Yue was sued in court for not being able to pay the rent, and he was a little sad for a while. Xue Yue must have been 97 years old at that time! I heard that he was cut off from his source of income because he supported the great cause of the reunification of the motherland.
This is really not as good as those who were released from Gongdelin. Coming out of Gongdelin, there is value in united front work. Being a so-called cultural and historical specialist, one can receive a high monthly salary. Writing memoirs can also bring in royalties.
After lunch, the two went to say goodbye to Mr. Wang. Fang Mingche and Wang Dexian rode away together.
On the way, Wang Dexian told Fang Mingche, "Zhu Wenjuan passed the interview. She will be the English tutor for my cousin and her childhood friends in the future."
Fang Mingche nodded, "Her grades are indeed good."
He paused and said, "Ayan is worried about what wedding gift to give you. Otherwise, we will give you a washing machine?"
Wang Dexian said, "Then I'll just put it at my mother's place first. If there are any large items, just take them there to wash."
He lived in a single room in a tube building, and the faucet was at the end of that floor. But if it was installed there, it would undoubtedly become a public one. Moreover, if it was not handled properly, people from several floors would use it for public use, and he couldn't say anything. If he wanted to use it once, he would probably have to queue up. The key is that after a long time, people will take it for granted.
Wang Dexian said, "You are right. Yangmei is used to living in the expert building with good conditions. It is indeed a bit unfair for her to live with me in the tube building. She has to stand in the corridor to cook."
The material conditions he provided to her were far inferior to those provided by Xiaofang to Lin Yan.
However, his father and stepmother definitely did not have their own rooms. And if they moved in, the relationship would be so complicated and difficult. At the old man's place, there are five cousins and four cousins, and everyone else lives outside. Is he special? The third brother and the third sister-in-law still live in the single room of the tube building allocated by the army.
Fang Mingche said, "Or, you can rent a house. Rent a better house between your unit and Yangmei's. The travel agency will first pay the rent, and then deduct it from your dividends. The large apartment of 240 square meters in the Overseas Chinese Apartment is only 2,000 a year. If you can rent a 150-square-meter apartment, 1,500 should be no problem. You get 10,000 in dividends a year, and 1,500 is nothing to rent a house."
Wang Dexian said, "That has to be rented."
Of course he can afford the house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment. But he is getting married in April, and there may not be a house available in the next two months.
"Then rent another house with better conditions first, and actively look for a house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment. After comparing, I suddenly feel that I can buy a small courtyard, which is very convenient."
Wang Dexian thought for a while, "Okay, let's do it. Even my father is sarcastic that I am the second richest person in the family. Instead of being remembered by others, I might as well spend it on myself and my wife. This is not in vain."
In this way, the washing machine can be put directly in the new house. He lives outside, and his mother and sister can also come to his house conveniently. There will be no gossip. Let them bring big items to wash.
Fang Mingche said: "I think so too."
"Okay, then you can give me a washing machine, I will accept it with pleasure. When you rent a good house later, you can move in directly. By the way, your family will also buy one, right?"
If the dividends are fully distributed, a washing machine worth hundreds of yuan is nothing to him. So he didn't say much to Fang Mingche.
Fang Mingche nodded and said, "Yeah, otherwise what's the point of installing that faucet in the house? Carrying water is not a troublesome thing for me. At my place, I can clearly mark the price of each tank. So that the neighbors don't have to come to borrow it, which will make it inconvenient for me."
Wang Dexian laughed. Of course he knew that Fang Mingche didn't care about the money, but this could effectively prevent his own washing machine from becoming a public one. But he couldn't do the same thing if he put it in the washroom of the dormitory or the tube building at work. Sometimes private people need to be more convenient.
For example, the matter of retaining Qin Tian, even if they all sympathize with him. But if it is a government agency or a state-owned enterprise, it is still inconvenient now. But travel agencies are private enterprises, so there is not such a big hindrance.
Fang Mingche said: "I will directly get two washing machine tickets when the time comes. My family will wait until my parents leave before buying them to avoid their nagging."
His mother couldn't help but say in private that A-Yan's life was just like that of a young lady. He also let the two old people live here, and the main house would be for them to live in. It was just that they didn't want to.
After this matter was resolved, Fang Mingche parted ways with Wang Dexian and returned to the Overseas Chinese Apartment. As promised, Lao Cheng and the
others would come to visit in the afternoon. He rode his bicycle back now, and it would be the agreed time of two o'clock in the afternoon in a little while. These people didn't want to spend any more money, so they came after lunch and went back to the school cafeteria before dinner.
Speaking of the self-study class this Sunday night, except for the first few times when it was used for attendance and discussion, it was basically real self-study later. After that, Fang Mingche asked the counselor for a long vacation and never went again. Unless there was something big to announce in the class.
At first, he should have given his classmates the impression of a little man who cared about his family. Those who take care of their daughters and pregnant wives at home all day are probably little men in the eyes of others. It was not until he opened a foreign travel agency around December, and the business was getting better and better, and gradually he became famous, that they began to look at him with new eyes.
It's not that no one has thought of imitating him, after all, everyone is in the English department. Why can only you make this money? But after getting into college with great difficulty, no one can skip classes or drop out to do business. At present, the idea of "economic leadership" has not been proposed, and the idea of "scholars, farmers, merchants, and businessmen are the last" is still deeply rooted in people's minds.
Getting into college is actually enjoying the treatment of state cadres. In the minds of the world, this is an absolute taxi. On the contrary, some people who do business nowadays are looked down upon.
In the early stage of the travel agency, people like Teacher Qiu, Qiu Yin, and Ning Anan who originally knew English but had no bright future. They will also work hard wholeheartedly. Such people are actually very difficult to find! He was eating in the cafeteria and heard a few school workers chatting, and then his eyes lit up.
There are also business cars, which cost tens of thousands of yuan each. This is not something that can be obtained casually! Even if it was Zheng Xing, he could borrow the help of his grandfather and father to solve the problem of cars, but it was not easy to solve the problem of manpower. Besides, he had not thought about this at first. Now that the Wang family has intervened, the Zheng family cannot take the attitude of grabbing business and competing.
This is why he was able to do this business. Now he has the first-mover advantage and the Wang family as a backer. He will definitely use this time to develop vigorously. Three commercial vehicles, a net profit of about 15,000 a month. The travel agency will gradually accumulate, and it will be easier to expand at that time. There will be money to set up offices overseas.
In fact, London can be put aside for the next step, and Tokyo can go first. Unfortunately, there is still no business license for the time being, and it is impossible to apply for a business visa. Think about whether there is any way to circumvent this. He went back to discuss with Cui Yingqi and Wu Mingju. He really didn't know the laws and regulations of Japan.
Lao Cheng and others came by bicycle. The famous Overseas Chinese Apartment, knowing the approximate direction, is very convenient to ask passers-by for directions.
When everyone gathered, Fang Mingche took them upstairs.
Lingzi and the others were busy with their own things. The driver and the tour guide were not there. The Japanese group left one person on duty, and if anyone else came to apply, they would be interviewed directly.
Fang Mingche said, "Just do your normal work. These are all my college classmates, come and see."
Lingzi and Wei You recognized that two of them were part-time tour guides for the one-day tour, and smiled at each other.
Lao Cheng and Xiao Xu also responded. Several people were a little emotional: If we were a makeshift team in a small courtyard before, it really looks much more professional after moving to this overseas Chinese apartment.
After looking around, they entered Fang Mingche's small office. Xu Mengfei said, "Old Fang, you are becoming more and more successful. Even if foreign tourists really want to come to visit, you can definitely show it off."
Fang Mingche actually felt a sense of accomplishment to be recognized or envied by his roommates who are also college students.
"It was also a coincidence. I actually thought about this when I was in Tiananmen Square, but unfortunately there was no manpower at that time. I was just an early bird."
Zheng Xing said: "Don't be too modest. Being too modest is hypocritical!"
Fang Mingche smiled and waved his hand.
Lao Cheng said: "I thought that coming today would not delay your normal work. Who knew that you were also working on Sunday?"
Fang Mingche said: "It didn't delay anything. We are in the service industry and can't take Sunday off like others. The staff take turns to rest."
Lao Cheng remembered that it was like this during the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, he wouldn't have invited himself to lead a one-day tour or a five-day tour during the Chinese New Year.
Others didn't say anything, but they all felt that Fang Mingche's career was indeed successful. Fortunately, they all have a bright future after graduation. However, they still feel a little guilty. There must be such comparisons between classmates.
However, fortunately, everyone is still rational, especially poor students like Lao Cheng and Xiao Xu who have to work part-time in travel agencies. No one put this imbalance on their faces.
Part-time work is acceptable even for a gifted person. Again, it's just work-study, the Prime Minister and the Chief Designer have done it. It's not embarrassing!
After that, the news that Fang Mingche was financially strong spread among the dormitories. He didn't care, he got rich through hard work and using his strengths. Moreover, he told people early on that he used to set up a big bowl tea stall in the square, and he usually ate and used better than others. Anyway,
no one could report him for the crime of "speculation". Speculation means buying at a low price and selling at a high price, but he is not. He provides services to foreign tourists and earns foreign exchange for the country. As for the twenty-two and a half yuan he receives every month, that is for everyone. It is a subsidy from the state to college students, and he deserves it. It is not a scholarship.
Fang Mingche is open and honest, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable at all because he is different from his classmates. As time goes by, this kind of attention will naturally decrease.
A few days later, the telephone extension was purchased. In the future, people in the small office can make phone calls inside. This way, there will be privacy.
In the blink of an eye, it was the first Sunday of March, and Gu Zhiguang and Zhu Wenjuan got married. The wedding banquet was held at Boss Cui's place. Every household in the compound gave gifts. Nowadays, gifts are simple, porcelain basins, spittoons, pillowcases, etc. are fine. Fang Mingche gave a big unity, and his family would have seven people to attend the wedding banquet! Moreover, now everyone knows that he has made money from business, and if he spends less, he will inevitably be labeled as stingy.
Lin Yi gave 20 yuan for his wedding, and he gave 10 yuan for Gu Zhiguang's wedding, which is not a small amount. He would only give 5 yuan to people he didn't know well in the compound. As for Wang Dexian's washing machine, the two were partners, which was different.
Wang Dexian told Yangmei that Fang Mingche was going to give a washing machine and suggested that they rent a house outside and the travel agency would temporarily cover the rent. Yangmei was very happy, and she was indeed worried about the days after marriage.
Fang Mingche suspected that she had never washed clothes at all. There are servants at home, and if the conditions permit, the hands that hold the scalpel don't have to do these rough work.
At this moment, everyone in the compound gathered here to watch the bride come in.
Wang Dexian also came, and brought gifts from students such as Wang Fang to Zhu Wenjuan. He stood with Fang Mingche. Lin Yan was with Xiao Xie, and Xiao Xie even reached out to help her.
In order to welcome the bride, Grandpa Gu arranged Hu Yong to help set off firecrackers at the door. Seeing Yan Yan and Kang Kang about to go over, Lin Yan quickly shouted, "Yan Yan, Kang Kang, come back!"
Fang's mother also hurried over and grabbed one with each hand.
"If you encounter one that didn't explode before, and it will explode when you get closer, you two will be finished."
Seeing that the two children didn't follow to join in the fun, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. She saw that Xiao Xie looked a little lonely, and remembered that when she came to the compound, there was no ceremony.
At that time, the Gao family was so poor that they were about to sell everything they had. Gao Xiang took the salary he had just received and thought about the money his mother needed for medicine. In the end, he just gritted his teeth and made two new clothes for Xiao Xie. Seeing other people's weddings being so grand, Xiao Xie must have felt something.
Lin Yan said, "When you give birth to your first child, you should hold a hundred-day banquet!"
In order to make up for Xiao Xie, you should definitely hold a hundred-day banquet. A full-month banquet, she hasn't even finished her confinement yet.
Xiao Xie whispered, "How can I dare to think about having a child if I don't cure my mother-in-law?"
"Not really, not really. Teacher Gao's income is also increasing day by day. Now that you have money, many things that were considered difficult before are no longer difficult."
While the two were talking, the bicycle carrying the bride arrived. It was tied with red silk on the front of the bicycle, and it was picked up from the dormitory of Beijing Normal University.
When the people arrived, Gu Zhiguang and Zhu Wenjuan used bamboo poles to carry firecrackers in front of Fang Mingche to set them off. This is to thank the matchmaker! We have to offer him a thank-you wine later.
Gu Zhiguang promised to use the military supply Maotai, so he asked Wang Dexian to get a bottle. He will drink it later. He can't afford to drink all Maotai. The Maotai sold outside costs 8 yuan a bottle with a ticket. Without a ticket, you have to pay a few more dollars to sell it on the black market.
There are really a lot of people here today. Neighbors all came, including Gu Zhiguang's colleagues and teachers, and the many distant relatives of the Gu family who have recently appeared.
Even if you are rich, you still have distant relatives. What's more, they live near Tiananmen Square. Since this big yard returned to them, distant relatives who had lost contact in the past few years have all appeared.
When Fang Mingche was taking care of Grandpa Gu in the hospital, he really didn't know where these people were.
Gu Zhiguang privately told Fang Mingche, Gao Xiang, Song Quan and others that if they want to come, they can come. Anyway, they won't get any advantage. This big yard is full of people. Moreover, they, father and son, have seen through these people a long time ago. No matter how much they talk, they won't lend them a penny. This
day passed in a lively manner. The next morning, Fang Mingche didn't have classes. He had to send his parents and nephew to take the train, and specially chose this morning when he didn't have classes to leave. It’s better to take Master He’s black taxi.
Lin Yan is not feeling well and Yanyan has to go to school. So after breakfast, she said goodbye to the two elders and Kang Kang.
Yanyan and Kang Kang have been sticking together a lot recently, and their relationship has warmed up quickly. Especially this time, even in Fang’s mother’s eyes, Yanyan looks like a sister.
The two hugged each other, "Second sister | Kang Kang, goodbye——"
Lin Yan also said, "Mom and Dad must have been hard to take care of the children all the way." The parents-in-law did not suggest that Kang Kang stay in the capital, just enjoy the teaching staff here. It takes a lot of work to help others take care of their children!
Even if the mother-in-law stays and lives in a scrap yard in the suburbs with the child, she will have to worry a lot. After all, they are unfamiliar with the place here. It’s not like staying in their hometown, where there are familiar people and things everywhere. The brother and sister-in-law will have to worry a lot less.
Fang's mother said, "It's okay. He won't dare run around after getting on the train."
Lin's mother also came out and said, "Mother-in-law, come to the capital to play when you have time. This time, Ah Yan is not feeling well, so I didn't spend much time with you."
Fang's mother hurriedly said, "I should have taken care of her, but I'm still troubling you. I don't know how grateful I am."
Fang Mingche raised his wrist to look at his watch, "It's almost time to leave."
Yan Yan waved, "Goodbye, Grandpa, goodbye, Grandma. I'll come back to see you during the summer vacation."
This was Fang Mingche's arrangement, and he still wanted her to have more contact with her hometown. There were two months in the summer vacation, and he planned to take Yan Yan back to stay for half a month.
As for Ah Yan and the second child, they must have stayed in the capital. At that time, the second child was only two months old, and Ah Yan had just finished her confinement.
Fang's father and mother smiled and said, "Okay!"
When the car arrived at the train station, Fang Mingche bought platform tickets and sent them on the car. Fang's father and mother only brought one box when they came, but they had three when they returned. They bought a lot of things in the capital, including boxes.
Fang Mingche bought them two lower bunks next to each other, and Kang Kang slept with his grandmother.
After putting away all the boxes, Fang Mingche took out two brand new Plum Blossom watches. Before, his mother-in-law raised her wrist to check the time, and he remembered that his parents had bald spots on their wrists, so he asked Sister Cui to get them. They were just received two days ago.
"Although in the countryside, people say that they should work when the sun rises and rest when the sun sets. But sometimes the weather is bad and the sun doesn't come out at all. It's more convenient to know the exact time."
This pair of Plum Blossom watches cost about two hundred yuan in total, which is naturally a big item for country people. The Fang family used to be poor financially, and they had to save money for emergencies. So Fang Mingche and Lin Yan were the only ones in the family who had watches
. At that time, there were not many people in the village who had watches, only the village cadres. And Fang Mingfeng's father also had one.
Seeing their youngest son take out two watches, Fang's father and mother were slightly stunned. Fang's father said, "Although you can make money, you still owe so much debt. It's better not to spend money lavishly. Can this watch be returned?"
Fang Mingche said, "I asked someone to do it for me. How can I face it if I ask them to help me return it? Take it--"
After that, he stuffed it in his hand and said, "I'm getting off the bus. When you arrive, the driver who brought you here is waiting at the exit and will take you back to the county town. I will treat him to a simple meal when I go home during the summer vacation. Kangkang, be obedient on the way and don't be naughty!"
When he came here, his cousin contacted an acquaintance to pick him up in the countryside and send him directly to the train station. He took the two old people who had never traveled far away by himself, which was the most convenient way. So when he went back, Fang Mingche asked him to contact them. Don't bother two people for one thing, and his parents still recognize the driver.
"I know, Dad--" Fang Kang nodded.
"When you get home, ask your eldest brother to call me to let me know you're safe. Well, the train is about to leave, and I really have to get off. See you during the summer vacation!"
Fang Mingche got off the train and watched it roar away. He was very relieved to be able to take his parents to the capital for three weeks. Especially, his father didn't have any incurable diseases.
When he got home, Fang Mingche asked Yanyan, "Have you been practicing with Kang Kang during this time?"
Yanyan smiled. If her future brothers and sisters can listen to her, she is not opposed to being a sister.
Fang Mingche said to Lin Yan, "It seems that we really need to be careful and treat each other equally."
Lin Yan rolled her eyes at him, "You spoil Yanyan so much, I'm worried that you will be partial."
Fang Mingche smiled, "No, no."
There are still things to do next, so let's continue to work.
Until mid-March, the Japanese group interviewed several people, but only Qin Tian was unanimously satisfied. He was hired for the time being.
Fang Mingche asked Wei You to ride a bicycle to notify him to come to work. At the same time, he asked the driver Xiao Shen and Gao Xiang to buy a commercial vehicle of the same model.
At this point, all the surplus of the travel agency in the first few months was spent. The 7,000 yuan of spare money from the scrapyard was also used. In addition, he still owed Lao Zhou 8,000 yuan and Boss Cui 7,000 yuan. After a month and a half, he had to pay the rental fee of 9,000 yuan for the two cars after work.
Until May 1st, the travel agency was tight on money and just had enough.
Fortunately, as the weather improved, the two scrapyards began to return to the more profitable state after last year's National Day. Together with the scraps from the Overseas Chinese Apartment, there can be a net income of about 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a month.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare to open more scrapyards for the time being. Otherwise, this business would really be successful. If he wanted to make more money now, he couldn't rely on opening more stores and hiring more people. He could only increase the income of each store.
He bought a car from Gao Xiang and did the accounts. He couldn't help but sigh, "When will the account be more comfortable!"
He had to buy two more business class cars before the end of November and return the car from the investment promotion office.
Fang Mingche said: "If business is going well, it won't be a problem. If it's not going well, at least I can buy one when the time comes."
He is not too worried about this now, as there are more and more tourists coming from overseas. If he doesn't buy more cars, how can he handle this flow of tourists? What
Fang Mingche is worried about now is whether Teacher Qiu can come back smoothly. He has been supporting for more than half a month.
He picked up the extension on the desk and called Wang Dexian to ask about this.
"Old Wang, haven't you finished the matter that Teacher Qiu helped with?" You kid can't dig up the pillar of your own family.
