There is a reason why a person can become fat, and the most important one is that he is simple-minded and full of beautiful imagination about the world. Ning Mo is such a person, he firmly believes in his friendship with Tang Zifeng, even if he is just an ordinary worker in the factory, but Tang Zifeng is an assistant to the factory director sent down from his superiors.

Ning Mo's optimism infected his friends, of course, the 10 strings of big waists that Tang Zifeng paid for played a greater role, everyone was holding the sheep kidneys, drinking beer, and after a while, they forgot about the status gap between themselves and Tang Zifeng, and sure enough, they called "Old Tang" one by one.

"Old Tang, you said that we are in a chance, is there any salvation?" Cui Bing narrowed his eyes that were a little red from the effect of alcohol, and asked Tang Zifeng.

Tang Zifeng replied affirmatively: "Of course there is salvation." I discussed with Lao Zhou, turning around losses in one year, doubling the output value in three years, and everyone's salary will be at least twice as high as it is now. ”

"I don't dare to think that the salary will be doubled, and if I can make up for the wages owed to us in the past, I will burn high incense for the new factory director. By the way, by the way, I will burn two sticks for Old Tang. Lai Taotao said with a smile, regardless of whether this is a bit ambiguous.

Tang Zifeng said: "The wages owed in the past must be made up, but not now." I estimate that we should be able to pay wages once next week at most, and we will get back 1 million from other factories, which is enough to pay wages once. ”

"By the way, as soon as you talk about this, Old Tang, I really remember. It seems that the 1 million yuan was what you went to Jin Yao to get back, right? The factory went crazy, saying that you threatened the director of Jinche with a brick in Jin Yao, and he agreed to pay back the money. Chen Jinsong said.

"Well, this is a rumor, in fact, I am holding a pipe wrench......" Tang Zifeng defended in vain.

"Why don't you call me for such a thing?" Ning Mo asked angrily, "When I was at school in the past, didn't you take me with you every time you went out to make trouble?"

"Wouldn't it, wouldn't you say that Assistant Tang was the first in the grade every year, how could he still get into trouble?" Several young people looked at Ning Mo and Tang Zifeng in surprise.

Tang Zifeng said with a smile: "When I was studying, the fat man and I were both boarding students from the countryside, and we didn't have anything to eat at school, and our stomachs were empty, so we often went to the farmer's field to steal sweet potatoes and roast them to eat." I originally said that I would steal it myself and come back and give it to the fat man. As a result, the fat man said that he was starving to death and would not eat the food that came to him, and that he had to steal it with me. ”

"And then?"

"Then he was caught by the peasants and hung to beat ......"

"That's not the case at all!" Ning Mo shouted, "it was he who told me to lure away the sweet potato farmer, and he went to the field to steal the sweet potatoes himself. As a result, I accidentally mixed the sweet potato vine, fell and was caught. They didn't beat me up, and gave me two big sweet potatoes. ”

"Why don't you say that the sweet potato field is actually your uncle's?" Tang Zifeng revealed.

This supper, several people ate heartily, Lai Taotao and others originally had a sense of awe of Tang Zifeng's identity, but after eating supper, they all hooked up with him and regarded him as their own buddies.

On the way back to the factory, Lai Taotao and his entourage walked in front, Ning Mo and Tang Zifeng walked behind, chatting quietly about some homely things. Ning Mo told Tang Zifeng that Lai Taotao and others were all classmates who graduated from technical schools with him, and at the same time they were assigned to Linyi Machine and assigned jobs according to their respective majors, among which Ning Mo and Lai Taotao were fitters, Cui Bing was a lathe, and Chen Jinsong was a miller.

When they first arrived at Linyiji to work, although Linyiji was also in a state of loss, they could still borrow some money from the bank to pay their salaries, and everyone's life was barely able to get by. In the past two years, the factory owes more and more money to the bank, and it has become more and more difficult to get a loan. Last year, the factory only paid wages three times, and as for bonuses and benefits, there was no need to think about it.

As a result, the workers in the factory had to go outside to make money by themselves, some worked for private factories, some went to the city to ride tricycles to solicit customers, and some went to the bazaars to set up stalls to do business. Linhe is located in the south, the commodity economy is relatively developed, and it is relatively easy for workers to find something to do, but the income is definitely not as good as in the past, and everyone's life is tight. Compared with the situation in the old industrial cities in the northeast, of course, it is much better.

"How is your life?" asked Tang Zifeng.

Ning Mo smiled: "What else." I still have a lot of strength, and I learned some skills in technical school, and I can definitely earn money for food when I go to a private boss to do something. Every time I pay my salary, I pool money with Tao Tao and a few of them to go out for a meal, which can be regarded as a tooth sacrifice. ”

"Why don't you tell me?" Tang Zifeng complained, "Even if I didn't leave you an address after graduation, wouldn't you inquire when you go back to Tunling?"

"What's the use of telling you? Aren't you also a recent graduate, even if you work in the mechanical department, how much money can you make?" Ning Mo said.

Tang Zifeng touched it in his pocket, took out two hundred-yuan bills, stuffed them into Ning Mo's hand, and said: "You take these first, don't grieve your stomach if you are wronged, and look for me when the money is spent." ”

"Damn!" Ning Mo took the money, neither rushing to put it in his pocket, nor rushing to return it to Tang Zifeng with a bare face, but asked with a smile: "What, you really got rich?" I remember just now you said that you made some money doing business with others. ”

Tang Zifeng whispered: "You just know, when I was in the capital, I saved books with my college classmates and sold them, and I made thousands of dollars alone." ”

"Then you're welcome!" Ning Mo heard this, so he no longer hesitated, and quickly picked up the money. In the three years of high school, the two of them can be said to be close to each other, and the meal tickets are used together. Both of them are rural students, and they are very strapped for money, and in many cases, they can only afford to buy the cheapest dish in the cafeteria, and then you talk half and half and half to accompany the meal. In Ning Mo's mind, it doesn't matter if he uses Tang Zifeng's money, of course, the premise is that Tang Zifeng is indeed rich. I heard that Tang Zifeng made thousands of yuan, and Ning Mo had no psychological pressure to accept the 200 yuan.

With the money in his hand, Ning Mo's face was bright, and he smiled: "I always knew that you had the ability, and I knew that you made so much money, I would definitely write to you to pull your brother." By the way, Tang Shuai, now that you are an assistant to the factory director, can you take care of your brother and give me a good position, at least the kind that can be paid every month?"

"What else do you do besides screwing?" Tang Zifeng said disdainfully.

"I'll fight!" Ning Mo said, "You are an assistant to the factory director, don't you need to bring a personal bodyguard?"

"Forget about this, right?"

"You can't bear to see me in a sea of misery?"

"No, it won't. Tang Zifeng said, "Fatty, don't worry, with me, I will definitely be able to turn over the salted fish, and the wages of front-line workers will be much higher than those of the administrative department. ”

"What you said is true?" Ning Mo asked as he stared at Tang Zifeng.

Tang Zifeng nodded: "If I don't have this certainty, why don't I leave the office in the capital and run to the ghost place of Linhe? Let's put it this way, if there is no improvement in Linyi within a year, you can go to the capital with me, and I will introduce you to a job at will, and it is no problem to earn 500 yuan a month." ”

"A word is a certainty!" Ning Mo said happily.

Tang Zifeng remembered something again, and asked Ning Mo in a low voice: "Are you a few technical school classmates, are you reliable in character?"

"Absolutely reliable!" Ning Mo said, "Old Tang, my friends Ning Mo has made, who are not well-known men, the kind of people who like to engage in intrigue and trickery, I will not even look at them." ”

Looks like you've been looking at me a lot, right?

Tang Zifeng silently gave Ning Mo a middle finger in his heart. He searched the memories of his predecessor in his mind, and found that his predecessor did meet Ning Mo's criteria for making friends, and he was the kind of person who was not good at engaging in intrigues. But now that he has crossed over, what he is most proficient in and likes to engage in is precisely conspiracy, I hope that after Ning Mo discovers this, he will not cut off his robe with himself.

"Fatty, you will talk to your classmates about our relationship in a moment, and ask them not to tell others. When we meet in the factory in the future, everyone pretends to be ordinary colleagues. Tang Zifeng explained.

"Why?" asked Ning Mo.

Tang Zifeng said: "You are stupid! If you want me to take care of you, you can't say that we knew each other in the past, or people should say that I am cheating for personal gain." I'm also a factory leader now, and many people are staring at my every move, if you go around saying that you and I are high school classmates, do you still want to live a happy life?"

"Yes, yes, I understand!" Ning Mo suddenly realized, although he looked cute and cute, his IQ had also passed the passing line. Tang Zifeng explained everything so clearly, can he still understand it?

Before entering the factory gate, Tang Zifeng and several young workers had a good caliber, claiming that they met by chance in the night market, because they were from the same factory, so they had supper together and knew each other, and there was no other relationship. Tang Zifeng also made a promise to several people that he would find an opportunity to take care of them in the future, but they also had to pay attention to their daily routines and not be caught by others.

In Linyi, he had a chance to make his hair small, which was an unexpected joy for Tang Zifeng. He made up his mind to work with Zhou Heng to do a good job of Linyi machine, so he needed to have some of his own manpower in the factory. Although Ning Mo is just a small worker, it is no problem to be Tang Zifeng's eyes and ears, there are some things that he is not suitable to do by himself, and it is very suitable for a small worker like Ning Mo to fake his hands.

As for Ning Mo's loyalty to himself, Tang Zifeng had no doubt at all. Ning Mo's brain is a tendon, once he feels that others are good to him, he will be loyal to others. Besides, didn't Tang Zifeng just subsidize him with 200 yuan, he has a soft mouth and a short hand to take people, since Ning Mo has accepted the money, Tang Zifeng is not afraid that he will betray him.
