Chapter 380 My cousin started packing his luggage
The north wind was biting and the entire Ze County was in the midst of a cold wave.
The steel plant was extremely busy before the New Year, and Zhao Sheng was running around from dawn to dusk during this period.
Provincial capital, nearby urban areas, Jinji Town, and Ze County.
The factory's transport team lost an old employee driver who used to travel to other provinces, so the workload was naturally shared by other old employees.
The work of running around the mining areas in various towns and villages requires manpower.
As the factory director and transport team leader, Xu Shida originally considered hiring only one driver to fill the position, but the actual situation did not allow it.
So one truck driver quota became two.
This way, there are more people vying for the position and the probability is higher.
Zhao Sheng told Xiao Li, who had been in contact with him at the Jinji Town Mine, that "the transportation team of the Ze County branch is short of drivers for the suburban mines. If you are interested, you can fill out an application to participate in the recruitment."
Thinking that he might have to leave Ze County, Zhao Sheng had more considerations and he needed to keep a backup plan.
But this backup plan cannot be openly linked to him.
"Really? Brother Sheng, you are really my brother. You can take me with you to sign up later."
Xiao Li is 22 years old and has worked in the mining area of Jinji Town for several years. His father found the job as a mining area registrar through his connections and favors.
After Xiao Li was excited, he began to worry again, "But... Brother Sheng, do you think I can do it?"
Given such an opportunity, other people would have definitely thought of it long ago, but since he has no connections to give gifts, why would they recruit him?
Zhao Sheng knew what he meant, but he didn't point it out and just chuckled, "You can drive and you are familiar with the road, so why not?"
He wasn't talking about driving a truck, Xiao Li made it clearer, "I don't have any connections...Is it okay if I don't have anything?"
"A way out? Just close it to everyone." Zhao Sheng said little, but his tone carried some unspoken provocation, and he sneered, "Every year at this time, those who sit on the chairs have to gather together to review the past year.
Director Ding of the transport team of the main factory is a man of integrity and integrity who does not tolerate any injustice. "
As for whether it was true or false behind the scenes, Zhao Sheng had no right to care.
"..." Xiao Li suddenly realized, yes, it would be fair to cut them off at the source.
Zhao Sheng flicked his finger and the cigarette butt flew out in an arc. It was unknown whether it would be lit or not where it landed, and whether there was wind or not.
"Do you understand?"
The tall and strong man with a cold expression flicked off the cigarette ash on his scarf. He spoke in a low voice, but his words were clear and every word was meaningful.
"Thanks, Brother Sheng. I'll follow you after this is done." Xiao Li had a face full of chivalry and was overjoyed to get the advice.
Zhao Sheng just looked at him with a half-smile, "What did I say? I don't want a fool."
"I understand, I understand, Brother Sheng, don't worry, we'll do it the same way." Xiao Li was also very sensible. He put away his joy and directed people to pour the raw materials into the truck one by one.
Xiao Li hitchhiked to Ze County, went to the transportation team to fill out an application for a truck driver, and was then arranged to demonstrate his driving skills at the training ground.
The next day he ran to the provincial steel plant and handed in a letter of complaint alleging that the branch had accepted bribes in selecting freight drivers.
Xiao Li didn't care whether the other party accepted the money or not, or whether he used connections or not. He just copied the process based on how difficult it was for his father to use connections to help him.
It’s just that the names of the people involved are all pseudonyms for people with glasses, fat people, and thin people.
Besides gifts, tickets and money, what else can it be? Anyway, it's all nonsense.
This will inevitably disrupt people's use of connections and force them to hold an open competition based on driving skills to select people.
A week passed.
The transport team recruited two new truck drivers: Wang Dalu and Lee Jong Suk
All those who had connections were eliminated, and two employees were hired based on their driving ability but without any connections.
Five veteran truck drivers gave their ratings, and Director Xu, who also serves as the transport team director, made the final decision.
When evaluating and selecting people, Xu Shida was still a little hesitant, but Zhao Sheng's words directly sounded the alarm for him. It is difficult to wash off too much mud, and washing will waste time and get your hands wet.
Xiao Li successfully joined the transport team. He celebrated happily with his family and moved to the dormitory of the steel plant overnight.
Wang Dalu is the eldest son of Wang Daqiang, a driving instructor in the factory's transportation team. He has been working as a driving apprentice in the factory since he graduated last summer. With his father's guidance, he naturally learns quickly.
In just half a year, he got the opportunity to join the transport team as a formal worker, and his family celebrated. This was also the first good thing to happen to the family since Wang Daqiang was transferred.
Wang Daqiang now recalls what Zhao Sheng told him in the summer of 1975, that he stayed in the transport team as a driving instructor to pave the way for his son.
He really got it right.
When Wang Daqiang saw his son's work permit, all the unhappiness in his heart disappeared. Dalu was not even twenty years old, and he had joined the transport team at this age. With a high school diploma, his future would be better than his father's.
Now that life had become more promising, he urged his younger son and second daughter to emulate his eldest son.
The next morning, Wang Daqiang found Zhao Sheng and said a few words to him, but it didn't sound like he was thanking him.
It's more warm to say hello.
"As a father, I naturally have to consider my son. It's all because of your good teaching. It has nothing to do with me."
Zhao Sheng made some empty words to refuse, paused, narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said casually: "After the New Year, I will take Wang Dalu to do long-distance freight. If I say something serious, just don't bear a grudge."
"No, these are all rules. I'm not afraid of being taught by others, but I'm afraid of no one teaching me." Thinking that his son would learn freight running experience from him, the smile on Wang Daqiang's face deepened.
Zhao Sheng is now the highest-ranking employee in the transport team. It is natural that he is the one who can guide novice truck drivers from short-distance to long-distance.
Zhao Sheng and Wang Daqiang chatted for a while, and after the goods were loaded, they drove to the provincial capital to buy New Year's goods.
I don’t know if I can buy the Leaf brand soap that the kitten wants, so I’ll have to go to several places.
Someone has already been hired to look for a new yard in the south, and the manpower is ready to help him transport those boxes.
As long as he got the approval of the overseas visit form, he would take Lin Yiyi and his son to Hong Kong. He thought that his savings would not be enough to support his family in Hong Kong.
Now there is only one last thing left to prepare.
Zhao Sheng bought four bottles of high-end liquor, gave two bottles to Director Yu of the provincial textile factory as a New Year gift, and as for the remaining two bottles, he would go to the mountains to wish the old headhunter a happy new year in advance after returning to Ze County.
I can ask a headhunter to order some logs that are more than one meter long. Six logs that are half as thick as a waist and hollowed out the core should be enough to hold the equipment, right?
Lihua Alley in Ze County.
Lin Yiyi stayed in the house every day and rarely went out. It was freezing cold and windy, and she still felt cold no matter how warmly she wore.
The two naughty kids are restless all day long. They always make a fuss and shout when they go out for a walk even with a runny nose, making such a noise that it is unbearable.
Lin Yiyi could only take out Zhao Sheng's old clothes and have them turned into two jumpsuits with Aunt Sun and her cousin's wife.
Put it on the two little ones, spread out the drawing paper, give them the prepared watercolor paints to play with, and let the twins paint however they want.
The children were young and had no fever or cough, so Lin Yiyi did not give them any medicine, but only boiled pear juice for them to drink.
This drink had a huge effect. My nose stopped running and I started asking for pear juice every day.
