Gradually, Shi Tao became proficient in office work, and he was no longer as ignorant as he was when he first arrived.

The business at hand is quite smooth, and Director Zhang said that he can take charge on his own. The handy work made Shi Tao no longer feel any pressure, and he had more free time.

In his spare time, Shi Tao usually reads books, and has no other hobbies except for playing with his homemade scimitar.

However, he felt that he was wasting his time like this, so he pondered to do something more, and thinking that the house had always been his heart disease, he decided to make money.

When drinking with Ding Dezhi, Chang Xiaochang and others, Shi Tao said his thoughts.

Ding Dezhi provided him with a piece of news, Chen Xi, who entered the factory together, because his wife was unmarried and pregnant, and now his son has been born, he feels the pressure of life, and he is also trying to make money, and now a family of three is renting a house outside.

Chen Xi found that the little salary he earned could not support his family at all, so he resigned.

Chen Xi has a project specializing in shampoo, this project is easy to learn, the production conditions are low, the investment is low, and it is completely suitable for family workshops.

After Shi Tao heard the news, he thought about it again and again, and he was ready to move, so he might as well give it a try.

In the early days of entering the factory, Shi Tao and Chen Xi still had many contacts, and the two of them could talk, so Shi Tao found Chen Xi and planned to join the company.

After a discussion, I didn't expect Chen Xi to be very willing, his wife was taking care of the children, so he could only do this work by himself, without a helper, Shi Tao couldn't ask for it.

In class, Shi Tao talked to Master Zou about his plans to do a side hustle.

Master Zou expressed his support when he heard this, saying that with the company's salary, there is no problem in life, but it is not enough to have a big flower at home, and a little side business can improve the quality of life.

Shi Tao also told Director Zhang about the idea of making shampoo, and Director Zhang also expressed his support, saying that as long as the things in the class are not something you don't do or when the people are very busy, you can just go and do your job.

Shi Tao said that he would not delay his work, and everything was done in his spare time.

Director Zhang expressed his appreciation for Shi Tao's assignment.

So Shi Tao used his free time in the evening and Sunday sky to go to Chen Xi to work.

The place where Chen Xi rented was a small courtyard, and it happened that the Westinghouse could be used as a small workshop to make shampoo, and there was also a place to put the finished product. Chen Xi also has a tricycle that can be used to deliver and pull raw materials.

After a day of study, Shi Tao basically mastered the process of making shampoo, and he felt that the process was simple and easy to use, and he would soon be able to do it well. Sure enough, Chen Xi admired Shi Tao's learning ability and hands-on ability.

Shi Tao understands the key points of cooperation, mutual trust is very important, in order to show his sincerity, he took out all his savings to buy raw materials.

This made Chen Xi think that Shi Tao was a partner who could work together for a long time.

Shi Tao has been able to make qualified shampoo finished products, so that there is no problem with the quality and speed of production, and the main work left is to sell.

On Sundays, Shi Tao rode his bicycle around to sell their shampoo. Shi Tao has been to baths, supermarkets, commissaries, barber shops, and even to the countryside, going as far as seventy or eighty miles.

Let's put it this way, as long as it is possible to use shampoo, Shi Tao has been there, and some places have been there more than once, and he often eats closed-door soup.

But Shi Tao was not discouraged, and after patient sales, he finally had a batch of orders, and gradually developed a number of regular customers.

After the efforts of two people, there are more and more orders, the demand is also increasing, and the workload is naturally getting bigger and bigger.

The two felt that this was a good sign, one tricycle was not enough, and they couldn't deliver the goods at all, so Shi Tao took the initiative to buy another one.

In this way, two tricycles are used for delivery, and sometimes Shi Tao will also deliver at night, although it is harder, it feels worthwhile to be able to earn money.

Chen Xi is also a real person, and he is hard-working, willing to work hard, not afraid of dirty or tired. Because he has resigned, he can also produce during the day. This aspect of production is mainly due to Chen Xi's contributions.

Chen Xi never cared about how much Shi Tao did or how little he did, after all, Shi Tao was still on the job and had his own work to do, which Chen Xi understood.

Shi Tao suggested that the production time should be put in the evening as much as possible, so that Shi Tao could help Chen Xi produce, and let Chen Xi sell and deliver the goods during the day.

Reasonable time arrangement, while doing a good job in production, can deliver the goods to customers in a timely manner.

Braving the biting cold wind in winter, Shi Tao still sweats profusely on the road on the tricycle, but his heart is warm, and he feels that this life is very meaningful.

In summer, braving the scorching sun, carrying a car full of shampoo, walking through the streets and alleys. When the bottles of shampoo were handed to the customers, Shi Tao felt how beautiful life was.

Seeing Shi Tao's active production and efforts to promote the performance of active delivery, Chen Xi felt that Shi Tao was a good person, and felt that he had not chosen the wrong person to cooperate with him, and he had never treated Shi Tao badly in the distribution of benefits.

Chen Xi's accounts remember very clearly, according to the amount of investment, production, delivery, order volume and many other factors to make a comprehensive score, and then according to the value of the distribution of benefits, so that it seems fair.

Shi Tao felt that Chen Xi was a person who could be trusted, not only did he not care about anything but also took good care of him.

Shi Tao gave up an extra part of the profits, because after all, it was the project that Chen Xi was looking for, and Chen Xi rented the house, and Chen Xi also promised to cooperate with him, otherwise he would not have these benefits.

Chen Xi insisted that he would not accept it. Shi Tao felt that this had to be the case, otherwise he would be uneasy. At Shi Tao's repeated insistence, Chen Xi agreed.

Even after Shi Tao gave up some profits, he found that although it was hard to sell shampoo, he made far more money than going to work.

He now earns the same side hustle as three people like him at work. Shi Tao calculated, it won't take a year to buy a second-hand house, so he is more motivated.

Because of Shi Tao's conscientious and tireless work and sincere cooperation with Chen Xi, the two have a deep relationship, intimacy, and mutual care, making the small business very prosperous.

In this way, a year later, Shi Tao really bought a second-hand house.

Of course, Chen Xi's income is three or four times more than Shi Tao's, because Chen Xi has paid more time, and he is already ready to buy a new house with a large three rooms.

It turned out that Chen Xi's wife was pregnant again, and the second child was about to be born after two years, Chen Xi smiled bitterly, "I have to continue to work hard, otherwise I won't be able to support my family! My wife has no job, and I have to support four people by myself." ”

Chen Xi also persuaded Shi Tao to resign and work with him to do something bigger, but Shi Tao felt that he was not here, and now it was just an expedient measure to do this, so he shirked it.

Buying a house made Shi Tao feel very gratified. Shi Tao moved out of the apartment building to his new home, and Shi Tao felt that he was only a Haishi man now.

Shi Tao worked with Chen Xi for a while and earned some money, which he used to decorate the house. Although it is a second-hand house, it looks like a new house inside.

Shi Tao looked at the new house and sighed: The house is alive because of people, and now I have a house, but there is no one in the house, I am still alone, a single person, and I can't feel a trace of warmth when I go home to cool the pot and cold stove, which shows that having a house does not mean that there is happiness.

Shi Tao wants to find his own happiness. He knows that his happiness is to find his other half, and the lover he loves, the lover in his heart, has left him to marry someone else, which is the biggest pain in his heart.

If this house could have appeared in Shi Tao's hands a year ago, the current situation would definitely be different.

That will be Shi Tao and Yang Qiong living in the same room, eating the same pot, going in and out, and foaming with each other, what a warmth, what a romance, what happiness, what a warmth, what a comfortable thing!

And all this is just Shi Tao's imagination.

When Shi Tao told his parents the news of buying a house, his parents were happy for Shi Tao. Shi Tao wanted to bring his parents to live with him, but his parents did not agree.

Mother said: "It doesn't matter where we live, we bought a house for you to get married, and we didn't know each other well when we went, so it didn't make sense for the two of us to get to know each other." You're not married, you don't have children, we don't have any work, so it's better to be at home with your neighbors. When you get married and have children, let's go and show you the children. ”

Mother also urged Shi Tao, "You are not young now, you should have gotten married a long time ago." Look at the little buddies you grew up together, the children are two or three years old, you can't delay it any longer, don't pick and choose, it's almost enough, hurry up and find one, we will wait for your news. ”

Shi Tao listened to his mother's words and was going to find his other half. Yang Qiong has broken his thoughts when he is married, although he still thinks about it. Marriage always has to be married, and if there is a suitable one, it is planned.

But Shi Tao didn't know that Yang Qiong was divorced, and if he knew, he would definitely go to her in a hurry.

When Master Zou knew the news that Shi Tao had bought a house, Master Zou was even more excited than Shi Tao.

"You have a house now, and if you talk about it to someone who is almost eight out of ten, you kid will be able to get married. Well, I'll get you one. ”

Master Zou said, "Speaking of this, I think of that little girl named Shang Mei again, she should be a few years younger than you." I haven't had a partner yet, and I told you before that I want to tell you more, what do you think?"

Shi Tao thought, now that he has a house, it should be easy for Shangmei to agree, as long as someone mentions it, he has no opinion, it is a matter of course.

"Okay, then please ask Master Zou to find a time, and we'll see each other again. “

What a coincidence in this world, Mulan Lan happened to come to the office to do something, and when she heard the news, she was even more excited than Master Zou.

"I'll say, I'll say, I'm familiar with that girl. In this way, if Master Zou doesn't dislike it, let's protect the media together. ”

"If you want, then you can say, I'm the matchmaker on Shi Tao's side, and you're the matchmaker on the woman's side, do you think it's okay?"

"Great, just wait to hear the good news!" After Mulan Lan finished speaking, she ran to the finance room to find Shang Mei.
