"The car is worn out, and if I buy it back I'll have to fix this and replace that, which will definitely cost a lot of money. And as you know, it's not easy to repair a car nowadays. After calculating, if it's not cost-effective, there's no need for me to buy it. I buy a used car just to get a bargain."
Director Liu was hesitating.
"Besides, Director Liu, if you don't sell this car, it will just be a pile of scrap metal in the warehouse. If you sell it, you can still recoup some of your investment."
After some struggle and bargaining, Zhang Xingrong bought both cars for 30,000 yuan.
Although one of them looked shabby, it wasn't actually broken; it was just weather-beaten. After Uncle Zhong inspected it, he gestured to her, and the two of them worked together to negotiate a price.
Uncle Zhong drove one of the cars back first, then took some basic car parts to repair it, and then drove the second car back.
The car entered the Lu family's old house through the back door. In the past, the old house was not accessible by car. But later, the back door was renovated to accommodate cars.
Li Ruyu couldn't help but come over to see the commotion. "Hey, why did you buy this shabby car?"
Zhang Xingrong replied, "Our factory is poor, so we can only buy used cars. If Second Aunt has more money, could you lend us some money to buy a new car?"
“…”
Li Ruyu felt that the former bandit Zhang Xingrong seemed to have returned, and she was a sharp-tongued female bandit.
The old man laughed and said, "Yes, second son's wife, if you have money, give some to the girl!"
Li Ruyu almost cursed: "How can I have money? I don't have a penny!"
This old man is really something, he dotes on his grandson's wife to the sky!
Although the Jin family was a benefactor in the past, there is no reason to love them unconditionally, right?
"Is this car really usable?" the old lady said doubtfully, looking at the tattered car. "Driving a broken car is dangerous."
"It's not broken," Uncle Zhong said with a smile, "just the carport is a little rusty and worn, but everything else is basically usable. Just replace the brakes and it'll be fine."
He has been driving and repairing cars for many years and knows cars very well.
The old lady also knew it, so she didn't say anything.
In the evening, Zhang Xingrong had dinner at the old house, cleaned up the dishes with Sister Lin, and then returned to the family compound.
As soon as he returned to the family compound, Zhou Da waved at Zhang Xingrong at the door of the management office: "Mrs. Xiao Lu, your phone number! Which factory called you? I wrote down the number for you!"
When Zhang Xingrong heard this, she guessed that the factory might have installed a telephone.
She hurried over to answer the call, and sure enough, the person who answered the phone was Ma Wan.
"Director, our factory has moved and the telephone has been installed. I'm living in the factory dormitory now. If you have any questions, you can call me directly!"
When Zhang Xingrong first planned the factory, he envisioned not only a factory building and warehouse, but also dormitories for workers who needed to work overtime. There was also a cafeteria, with several chefs hired. Now, lunch is served at the factory. Evening snacks are available for those who work overtime. The workers are delighted and are much more motivated to work.
"Really?" Zhang Xingrong was delighted after hearing this. "That will be much more convenient in the future!"
"Yes!" Ma Wan was also very happy. "Secretary Wei must be very happy to have the phone number. He will go to the commune and show it off to other brigades!"
Zhang Xingrong could imagine Wei Dinghui's happiness: "You don't have to live in the factory. The factory is not far from the town. It's better to go home."
The factory is a place to work, and going home is a place to relax. People need to balance work and rest.
