In less than half a day, Lu Jiefang sold his job and completed the handover.
Zhong Zhidong and his daughter were still discussing how to get him to lose his job and go back to the countryside to farm. The handover had already been completed, but they hadn't received any news yet.
After Lu Jiefang and the Zhong family left, Jiang Haishan thought for a moment and then called Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was so angry when he heard about the situation that he laughed.
"How could such a scoundrel come from Grandpa Zhong's family?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Haishan knew that the Zhong family father and daughter were lying.
"Is it really as Jiefang said? How could Yanling do such a thing?"
“Wealth has always been a powerful motivator. Yuan Chao earns a salary of one or two hundred a month, which is more than the entire family earns in a year. Who wouldn’t envy him? Compared to the two brothers, he naturally wants to marry the one who can earn more money.”
"But they're already engaged, how can you still think like that?"
"Yes, it really shouldn't have been like that, so Brother Jiefang doesn't want her anymore."
Jiang Haishan chuckled and reminded him, "Zhong Zhidong is now trying to shift the blame onto Jiefang, and he also wants to use his position as director to get Jiefang fired by the factory."
Lu Yuandao said, "What are you afraid of? You're still here as the factory director. I believe you are fair and impartial."
Jiang Haishan chuckled. He thought the other party would say something nice, but instead, he was flattered.
When you ask someone to do something, you can't expect them to say a few nice words.
"Don't worry, with me here, we won't lose this job of liberation."
However, this person never does empty promises. If he receives a favor, he will definitely repay it with practical actions, which is more real than nice words.
"No, let Jiefang lose his job. Let him sell it and come back to drive for the sanatorium."
He needed to add another truck and hire two more drivers.
"Are you serious?" Jiang Haishan asked uncertainly.
"Of course I'm serious."
"Okay, then you can tell Jiefang yourself later."
When Lu Jiefang returned home, Lu Yuan found him and was about to talk about work when Lu Jiefang spoke first.
"Ah Yuan, you said a couple of days ago that I could come to you anytime I wanted to drive a big truck. Do you still mean that?"
"Of course it counts."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan knew that Lu Yuan already had the idea of leaving the brick factory.
"What? You're not going to drive the tractor anymore?"
Lu Jiefang gave a soft "hmm," and said, "I've already sold my job."
As he spoke, he pulled out 1,000 yuan.
“This job was originally given to me by you. Now that the job has been sold, the money should rightfully be yours.”
Lu Yuan was surprised, not expecting that the other party's thoughts coincided with his own, and that they had done so quickly, already getting the money.
He laughed, "Brother Jiefang, now that the job has been given to you, no matter how much money you make, it's yours. Take the money back."
He's not short of money, so there's no reason for him to ask for things back once he's given them away.
But Lu Jiefang insisted, "A Yuan, even if you don't want the money from selling this job, you still have to ask me for the money to buy the job."
Lu Yuan asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
“You already gave me a job last time, I have no face to ask you for a second job, unless I have to pay for it.”
Lu Yuan understood; he wanted to use the 1,000 yuan to buy the truck driver job.
“If you don’t take the money, I’ll be too ashamed to come to work.” Lu Jiefang added when he saw that Lu Jiefang didn’t react.
Seeing his insistence, Lu Yuan put the money away. If he hadn't taken the money, Lu Yuan probably wouldn't have come to work.
At worst, they can give us more salary and bonuses later.
“Okay, I’ll take the money. Yuanchao and Dongzi will be going to Hangzhou in a couple of days. You can come along and get familiar with the city first.”
“Okay!” Lu Jiefang happily agreed.
Lu Yuan took the money home and gave it to his wife, Wen Moxue, who asked in confusion, "Where did this money come from?"
Lu Yuan recounted Lu Jiefang's story in detail.
Wen Moxue carefully put the money away and sighed, "Zhong Yanling schemed and plotted, but in the end, it all came to nothing. She even ruined her reputation. What was the point?"
"So she's just a fool. If she had stayed with Brother Jiefang obediently, she would have had a good life. Sigh, greed knows no bounds."
Wen Moxue agreed with this statement, but was also a little worried. "If Brother Jiefang leaves the brick factory like this, who knows how the Zhong family father and daughter will ruin his reputation?"
"It's alright. Director Jiang now knows the whole story and won't allow them to spread rumors in the factory."
Wen Moxue nodded, "That's good!"
As if remembering something, she asked again, "If you ask Brother Jiefang to drive, do you need three people?"
"Of course we need one. We're still short one person. I'm planning to get another truck. We'll deliver truckloads of goods each time. They keep saying they don't have enough goods. Two trucks will earn more."
"Yes, we were indeed a bit slow in dealing with the things in our space, but we're accumulating more and more supplies."
"So we need to take more out each time."
There is no surveillance now, and transportation is underdeveloped. They transport supplies to other places from a great distance. As long as the person receiving the supplies does not say that they provided them, no one will know that they are the ones who provided them.
Now that both routes are very safe, he has fewer concerns, and the cargo volume can be doubled.
.
Zhong Zhiping stayed at the county hospital for another day. The doctor said her mother was fine and could be discharged, so on the third day, she took her mother back to the commune.
After settling her mother in, she went straight back to work at the brick factory.
Upon arriving at the factory, she noticed that her colleagues were looking at her strangely that day.
Some even openly whispered and pointed at her.
Did something happen because she didn't come to work these past two days? Did they find out her mother was sick and feel sorry for her, or did they find out she'd never had a father before and mocked her for it?
She had only been at the factory for a few days and didn't know anyone well, so it wasn't convenient for her to ask around.
There's really nothing to ask. Let others say what they want; she's used to it anyway.
Thinking of how much Lu Jiefang had helped her, and that she still hadn't paid Dean Gao's medical bills, she took advantage of her break time to run to the delivery department to find Lu Yuanchao.
I happened to run into Li Jun.
She didn't recognize him and politely asked, "Hello, comrade, is Comrade Lu Jiefang here?"
Upon hearing that she was looking for Lu Jiefang, Li Jun couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
Instead of answering, he asked, "Who are you? What do you want with Lu Jiefang?"
I had a vague guess in my mind that this was probably Lu Jiefang's new love interest.
These past two days, rumors have been circulating in the factory about Lu Jiefang's infidelity and his breaking off of engagement with Zhong Yanling. It's also said that the woman in question works at the brick and tile factory.
Li Jun thought Lu Jiefang was stupid; he would give up Director Zhong's daughter for this guy in front of him.
Although she is indeed prettier than Zhong Yanling, so what if she is prettier? She has Director Zhong's father, so her family background is much better.
Zhong Zhiping sensed his unfriendly tone, but still answered politely, "I am Zhong Zhiping from the Finance Department. I'm here to see Comrade Lu Jiefang about something."
"So it really is you!" Li Jun said dismissively.
"As Lu Jiefang's mistress, how could you not know that he has already resigned?"
