rented out the wedding room prepared by his parents for him at the price of cabbage, Zhao Congzhou had no psychological burden and easily returned the car.

He partnered with his friend Qiao Jun to open a car wash on the outskirts of the city. Doing business is about location, the flow of customers in the countryside is small, and there is a large space in front of the store, but there are not many people coming. However, Qiao Jun watches the store during the day and rents it out at night, so he can get by.

In the early summer afternoon, it rained again, and there was no business in the store as before, Zhao Congzhou saw the reclining chairs on the field from afar, and knew that Qiao Jun was sleeping again. Not only did he not slow down, but deliberately retreated to fourth gear, stepped on the accelerator and walked around the recliner.

The engine was filled with oil, flattered, and roared loudly, Qiao Jun opened his sleepy eyes, and found that it was Zhao Congzhou who was making a mistake, grabbed the towel covering his face and greeted the body. Zhao Congzhou laughed, shook off Qiao Jun, the car took a beautiful arc, and the "swish" brake stopped on the sidelines. When Qiao Jun chased after him, he just had time to catch the car keys thrown by Zhao Congzhou, as well as a small stack of money.

"What do you mean?" Qiao Jun knew his old friend's family background too well, frowned and tapped the five red pieces of paper in his pocket, "How is your old man?"

Zhao Congzhou leaned back on the recliner, spread his hands and feet, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "I didn't go in, Cheng Pinghe called me again and said it was okay." One cried, two made trouble, and three hanged themselves, and a few old men acted like women. Old Joe, let's break up the gang like this in the future, brothers, let's get together and disperse. ”

Qiao Jun had long been accustomed to the fact that this person couldn't get ivory out of his mouth, so he continued to ask unhappily, "What's the matter with money?"

"I picked up a business on the way. Zhao Congzhou briefly told Qiao Jun what had happened, "The little girl is generous, and I'm not welcome." Qiao Jun's focus was on the house, "The house is rented to others, what will you marry at that time?"

Zhao Congzhou lifted his leg and kicked Qiao Jun gently, "I want ice Coke." ”

Qiao Jun glared, but he still went to get it, and brought back a bench. Sitting down next to Zhao Congzhou, with a bottle of ice Coke per person, he couldn't help but say, "Cheng Pinghe is twenty-five this year, if you don't want to marry her, find someone to settle down as soon as possible, so as not to make her wait." ”

Zhao Cong drank all the Coke in anger and burped for an extra long time before touching his belly and squinting at Qiao Jun, "It's your business." ”

Qiao Jun's face did not change, "The road is uneven." He also knew that Zhao Congzhou couldn't be blamed for this, the parents of both sides wanted to get married, Cheng Pinghe also had a little meaning, but Zhao Congzhou was unwilling. Zhao Congzhou refused twice in person, but as long as he didn't have a fixed girlfriend for a day, the elders always felt that he was not young and impulsive, and sooner or later he would come.

"Your good sister, no one talks to you about marriage?" Qiao Jun didn't understand Cheng Pinghe, let alone those girls who were giggling with Zhao Congzhou, even if Zhao Congzhou was good-looking, but didn't women all want to belong?

"You know. Zhao Congzhou objected to this, "I am amorous but not obscene." "They are all ordinary friends, he is considerate and caring for girls, but he will not be ambiguous and misleading, "just friends!"

Well, Qiao Jun's train of thought turned in another direction, "You can't do it, right?"

Ahem, ahem, Zhao Congzhou was choked by his friend's whimsy. For this vicious attack on life, he can only repay the old fist, and then speak after the beating, "Respect, do you understand? I respect women very much." ”

Qiao Jun's face was full of disdain, "You didn't commit the crime...... Zhao Congzhou was born here, and he even studied in a local second-class college. As the only son of Zhao Gang, the second-in-command financial director of Changyuan Chemical, if Zhao Congzhou, a small celebrity in the city, makes a mistake, his old lady who has ears everywhere will definitely be responsible for others. Anyway, in the eyes of the older generation, they all went to bed and didn't get married? That's a hooligan! His thoughts jumped, "Do you say Cheng Qinghe or Tong Ziji?"

Zhao Congzhou said angrily, "I didn't get under his bed, how do I know if he is." But with his little ability, he probably doesn't have the energy to do anything else. This time it's Qiao Jun's turn to laugh, it's a big "rooster", from childhood to adulthood, Zhao Congzhou's parents took Cheng Qinghe as a reference, forcing Zhao Congzhou's chicken to jump, no wonder the two looked down on each other, "Last time I had dinner at your house, you also said that he was young and promising, so let your father stop messing with others and consider retiring early, how will this change?

Zhao Congzhou folded his hands behind his head, looked at the sky and sighed, and only spoke after a while, "I don't want to see the old man hit the wall, he can't bear it at his age." "Cheng Qinghe launched a series of measures after entering the company, old courtiers such as Zhao Gang and others can't see it, on the surface, Cheng Zhongguo who is justified in supporting whom, but as long as the veteran level gradually declines, people with a clear eye can know his actual thoughts. And last year, Cheng Qinghe took over as president, which proves that today's Changyuan is no longer the Changyuan of the past, and sooner or later it will completely become the Cheng family.

"Impossible, there are more than 2,000 people in the company who have shares, right?" Qiao Jun was stunned. The headquarters of Changyuan, as well as its affiliated enterprises, are involved in the employment of thousands of local people, plus the families of these people, it can be said that the small half of the city is inseparable from Changyuan. In the early years, when Changyuan was difficult, Cheng Zhongguo mobilized employees to raise funds, and Zhao Gang was also in debt for this.

Zhao Congzhou sneered, "Yes, at that time, my old man paid, but he was rewarded, the house, the car, almost even his son can get paid by the company." Compared with academic qualifications, he can't compare with young people, compared with energy, he will get sick when he is tired, why don't he stay in the company? Nearly half of the people like him in the whole group refuse to leave, and the young ones don't stay long, and if they continue like this, Changyuan will collapse sooner or later. ”

"Why doesn't the newcomer stay long?" Qiao Jun was confused when he heard it, and hurriedly grabbed the last sentence and asked.

"The huddle is too powerful, the locals can't tolerate outsiders, and among the locals, the employees who are more than ten years old can't tolerate those who are less than ten years old. Zhao Congzhou briefly explained, "The salary structure is unreasonable, and the ratio of seniority salary to post salary is too large." To do the same work, the newcomers are only two or three thousand, and the old ones are six or seven thousand, which is too different. ”

Qiao Jun muttered, "But the old man also came from the newcomer, and when the newcomer becomes an old man, won't there be one?"

Zhao Congzhou hated that iron could not become steel, and kicked the bench.

Qiao Jun fell to the ground with a thud, snorting and chirping. Seeing Zhao Congzhou's outstretched hand, he grabbed it and pulled Zhao Congzhou down with force. The two of them lay down next to each other, swung each other a few times, and then got up satisfied.

"You refused to enter Changyuan because you were afraid of being excluded?" Qiao Jun patted the dust on his body meaningfully.

"No, I just don't want to be with Cheng Qinghe. ”

Qiao Jun slapped him casually, "Afraid of being compared to him?" Zhao Congzhou, I only found out today that you are a bad seed. ”

Zhao Congzhou replied to him, "Nonsense, sooner or later I will show you how powerful I am." ”

"I'll wait. You won't wait until your hair and beard are gray, will you?"

"You kid!"

In the evening, Zhao Congzhou only knew what happened during the day, and his mother pulled him into the room, "Don't mess with your father, he is so angry that he can't eat today." ”

"And why?"

"It's not that Qinghe wants to change the wage structure, and a few of them are afraid that the workers below will make trouble, so they oppose it at the meeting. You know, Qinghe is also stubborn, and the two sides don't give in to each other and quarrel. Zhao Congzhou's mother shook her head again and again, "He refused to say anything, I called to ask Pinghe, Pinghe is really a good girl, her personality is really good, and she has never talked back to her elders." Today, thanks to her persuasion, the matter was calmed down. ”

Zhao Congzhou disagreed, "What do you persuade, it's better to make trouble early and get it early, it's only worse to cover it and hide it." Before he finished speaking, he was gently patted by his mother, "You-you don't know good people's hearts." Stop it. Zhao Congzhou had to swallow back the second half of the sentence, the Cheng family wanted to change it, but they didn't let it be changed, it depended on who could twist whom, and when the workers knew, they didn't know what it would be.

And Xu Tao, who went to work on the first day, saw such a grand occasion for the first time in his life.

Workers who work at night, those who leave work during the day shift, workers in work clothes, and those who have changed their work clothes pour into the office building, blocking the door of the office of the personnel department, and repeatedly asking to see the general manager and ask for advice on the reasons for the change in seniority wages.

On this day, Xu Tao was temporarily arranged in an independent office, followed by a morning meeting of the factory in the morning, and held another five or six small meetings, visited the factory, opened the company's mailbox, and received a work card. shook hands with each middle-level and greeted countless colleagues countless times, but he didn't have the opportunity to talk to Cheng Qinghe alone.

At the end of the day, she was blocked on the stairs by the troublesome workers, and heard their shouts shocking, "We want to see the general manager!"

Xu Tao looked at them with interest, this Changyuan, didn't he vote with his feet?
