Chapter 20 The Property Market and the Book Market I
Early on Sunday morning, Xiao Ye came to Xiaozhaomen, just in time to see Tao Tang running back.
"Good morning, Mr. Tao......"
"Good morning," Tao Tang wiped his sweat, "I told you, my clothes are washed by myself, do you remember?" ”
"Mr. Tao......"
"Okay, let's not take this as an example. By the way, the union library can't be open on Sundays? ”
"Library? I don't know. I'm going to ask? ”
"No need. Is it you on duty today? ”
"Director Jia has explained that as long as you are here, I have to stick to my post. It's okay at home anyway. ”
"What is this arrangement? It doesn't have to be like this at all. I'll say hello to your director, so go home and rest. Tao Tang dropped Xiao Ye in a daze and went back to the room to take a bath.
Xiao Ye was a little panicked. She didn't know where to upset the chairman. Jia Jianxin's task for her is a little ambiguous, that is, to go all out to take care of Mr. Tao's life. For Director Jia's order, Xiao Ye conscientiously carried it out, in order to be able to become a regular employee and become a regular employee of Red Star. She has tried her best these days to do her best. She found that Mr. Tao had changed his clothes, washed them immediately, dried them, ironed them with a garment steamer, and stacked them neatly at the head of the bed. Mr. Tao didn't know where to go last night, and several groups of people came to ask to see Mr. Tao, but she blocked them back, "Mr. Tao is not here, I don't know how to come back, you go to work and go to his office." ”
This was given to her by Director Zhang, and she did it before. At night, she waited in her room, and when she heard Mr. Tao's voice, she greeted her and wanted to ask if there was anything she needed to do. Mr. Tao ignored her, walked straight past her, went back to his room, and slammed the door. She could smell the strong smell of alcohol he exhaled. She knocked on the door to ask if he needed to call a doctor. When Mr. Song lived here, she often sobered up in Xiaozhao infusion after drinking, and she knew who to find. But there was no response inside. She could have opened the door, but she didn't dare to do that.
It has been four days since the new boss came to the factory. In Xiao Ye's opinion, he is a very simple person. I spent very little time in the guest house, and I hardly saw him. He was the one who gave her a sense of security, and in just four days, she had dispelled any of her concerns. He was still a reticent person, and he didn't talk to her at all, and this morning was the one he talked the most...... She basically concluded that he was a "good to serve" boss, unlike Mr. Song.
But Xiaoye was a little lost. Moreover, the "task" given to her by Director Jia made her worried. The guy with the handsome face asked her to write down the names of all the guests who came to Mr. Tao's room, and to try to figure out who they were if they didn't know them.
She knew it was dangerous. Leaders don't like to be snooped on. If Mr. Tao knew that she had told Director Jia the secret, she would definitely be finished.
Pretty girls have certain skills that ordinary girls don't have. Xiao Ye is good at protecting herself, she understands a truth, that is, although beauty is a capital and a weapon, it cannot be used excessively. Excessive use can devalue beauty. Therefore, she skillfully blocked the attacks of several men on her, including Jia Jianxin. Neither letting it succeed nor despairing should be a skill, but she did it well without being taught.
She is only twenty years old. The home is in Yang Village, 13 miles west of Red Star. Originally, she came to Hongxing to work as a handyman with her cousin, who was a contractor, and Hongxing always had a lot of dirty work to be completed by migrant workers, such as digging ditches, building walls, repairing the walls and floors of the workshop, and many small jobs in Jian'an Company. With her beauty (she learned early on that beauty is a resource), she could have found a job in a hotel in the city, but her parents did not allow her to go. She had to follow her second uncle to earn some small money.
After she came to Red Star Company, she quickly fell in love with the beautiful garden-like environment of Red Star Company, and envied the employees of Red Star Company, who were not well paid, but had an easy job and a leisurely life. So, when her cousin asked her if she would like to work in the workshop, she immediately agreed. The wages of temporary workers are not as high as those of my uncle's engineering team, but the work is much easier, and the key is not to be exposed to the wind and sun. She began to fantasize about becoming a full-time employee of Red Star, and then find a partner in Red Star, start a family, and live like a Red Star employee.
She knew that as long as she crossed the first hurdle, the road ahead would be smooth.
Perhaps in response to the ancient admonition of "natural beauty is difficult to give up", she only worked in the workshop for three months, and was transferred to the guest house, only two months in the big move, she was transferred to the small trick, no money to eat, and was also issued with beautiful work clothes, the key is that the environment is comfortable, there are no guests or after completing the work at hand, no one cares about her, she can nest in her room to watch TV, play with her mobile phone, and take a bath at any time. Therefore, when Director Jia promised to help her become a regular, she immediately became Director Jia's "private detective", providing Director Jia with tips and tricks that happened to her know: who was here to entertain, who was here to play cards, who was here to do something else.
The people who have the right to use the small tricks are the big names of the Red Star: the company leaders, the assistant general manager and the deputy chief engineer, and the general cadres have no right to entertain guests in the small business.
The guest house is a subordinate organization of the General Manager's Office, and Jia Jianxin is the top leader of the guest house. Due to the peculiarity of the job, Xiao Ye has an understanding of the power structure of Red Star Company that ordinary employees do not have, even though she is only a temporary worker.
The average employee may not have spoken a word to the general manager in her life, but she knows all the big names in the company, and most of them know herself. The vast majority of them can fulfill her wish - she knows that every year Red Star Company will handle a batch of temporary workers to "become regular", and most of them are the children of employees, those who cannot go to college and are unable to start a business outside the factory. This is entirely the power of the factory, in the hands of the human resources department and the main leaders of the employer. She is not a child of the factory, and it seems to be much more difficult, but her position is relatively special, as long as a big leader speaks, it is as easy as a hand. She believes that Jia Jianxin can, because she knows that Jia Jianxin has done the work of temporary workers in guest houses. When she first arrived at the big recruitment, she took over the class of the waiter who was about to take maternity leave, and the talkative girl said that she was turned a regular half a year ago and walked through Director Jia's back door, which was just a matter of one sentence.
So she became Jia Jianxin's "spy", and in the more than three months she went to Xiaozhao, she reported to Jia Jianxin at least five times about Mr. Song's whereabouts, until Mr. Song was taken away, and it was in Xiaozhao that Mr. Song was taken away, and she was at the scene. She felt lucky, because she had planned to follow the path of Mr. Song, who had already shown his liking for her, always made a few jokes with her that were not very out of line, and asked her to accompany him to the private room on the first floor for dinner. At that time, she was hesitant, hesitant to ask for help. She knew that there was a price to be paid for begging someone, and she couldn't impress the other party with anything but her body at the moment. Thinking of Mr. Song's old face with big bags under his eyes, she felt disgusted.
A new boss arrives, and she is faced with a new choice. Will you continue to follow Jia Jian's new path, or will you rely on the new boss? Mr. Tao is much younger than Song Yue, especially after she happened to hear that Mr. Tao is only in his early forties, and Tao is always single, and his wife has passed away.
Continuing to act as Jia Jianxin's spy, or "abandoning the darkness and turning to the light", is a difficult choice for Miss Xiaoye. She had the urge to "confess" when she met Mr. Tao in front of the building when she came back from morning practice, but Tao Tang didn't give her a chance to speak, but blamed her for washing his changed clothes without consent, which made her nervous, and naturally she didn't dare to "confess".
……
Tao Tang naturally didn't know that he was being watched. After taking a bath, changing clothes, going to the restaurant on the first floor for breakfast, after returning to the room, I called my parents and mother-in-law respectively, and my daughter Xiaohe went to make up for the class, and my mother-in-law reminded him to pay attention to his body, and mentioned the matter of Fang Fang, saying that Fang Fang was ready to use the "May Day" holiday to visit Pingquan. He hurriedly said that he had decided to return to Yanjing on May Day, and his mother-in-law asked him if he would go back to Binjiang to see Xiaohe? He said that Yanjing had official business, and if time permitted, he would go from Yanjing to Binjiang.
He was reluctant to receive Ke alone in Hiraizumi. Since he has revealed his feelings for himself, he is reluctant to face her alone.
Fang Ke is Fang Lan's cousin, Fang Ke was only ten years old when he and Fang Lan got married, and he was still a lively and active child. Later, although Fang Fang has become a beauty with a height of more than one meter and seven praises, and although she received a master's degree in Nottingham, she has not grown up, just like her little sister.
It's all the work of alcohol, and last night's experience became a series of slides. How could you say those words to Lu Qi? Moreover, he also chatted with her via text message after returning to Xiaozhao.
What a fuck, Tao Tang hated his actions. That's right, Lu Qi is a virgin land that has never been excavated in the deepest part of his inner feelings, and he was indeed shocked by Lu Qi's confession, he really didn't expect that Lu Qi would also have a good impression of him. But how old were they then? What does a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy know about love? He can be regarded as a person who once lived in the sea, how can he be so uncertain? She has her own family, what is she doing? So, in the ensuite bedroom, he slapped himself hard in the mirror in front of the desk.
Picking up his phone, Tao Tang looked through last night's text message records again.
It was Lu Qi who sent it first: Go back? You okay? Drink plenty of water.
He replied: It's okay, let's rest early.
Lv Qi: I like Yan Xiaoshan's words very much, so I'll give you a song. The color sleeves diligently held the jade bell, and it was fought **. Dance low willow building heart moon, singing peach blossom fan bottom wind. After parting, memories meet. A few times the dream soul is the same as you. There is a silver light left tonight, and I am afraid that the meeting is in a dream. Dispatch partridge day.
He replied: Xiao Lingzun saw the jade flute in front of him, and the silver lamp was too enchanting. Who can hate drunk in the song, and the wine has not disappeared after singing. Spring is quiet, the night is long, and the blue clouds and sky are far away. The dream soul is accustomed to no inspection, and he stepped on Yang Hua to cross the Xie Bridge.
Lu Qi: You hurt me.
He didn't reply again. Lu Qi did not return.
Maybe he really drank high, but he was able to aptly reply to a piece of Yan Xiaoshan's work with the same word. The core of Lu Qi's poem is probably the first two sentences of Xia Yan, but he really shouldn't do this game.
Forget it, stop thinking about all this nonsense. His mind turned back to work, and since Fang Lan's death, he has found an effective way to divert his attention, and that is to devote himself to his work.
Remembering what he saw yesterday when he went to the Ninth Branch, and finding out the address book prepared for him, Tao Tang dialed the mobile phone of Vice President Zhou Bing, who was in charge of safety and environmental protection, but no one answered, and in desperation, Tao Tang called Mu Qingyun, the Minister of Technical Security, "I am Tao Tang." Yes, it's me. Do you know that the dust hazard of the ninth branch is so serious? What measures are not? ”
Mu Qingyun's voice seemed very nervous, he was more clear about the environmental protection of the polishing process of the ninth branch, he said, for at least two years, he has been constantly reporting in writing on the hidden dangers of occupational diseases in the ninth branch, and also put forward a rectification plan, and even included in the annual safety plan of the Ministry of Development and Regulation, but due to financial problems, it has not been implemented.
"Director Mu, since you are trapped in funds and can't do fundamental governance, what measures do you take?"
"It's mainly protective equipment. Because the weather is getting hotter, employees are reluctant to wear it correctly...... Mr. Tao, we have a responsibility to ...... I review it for you. ”
"How much does your proposed renovation cost?"
"The least funded plan also needs 2 million."
Tao Tang felt sad. 2 million doesn't sound like a small amount, but it's actually nothing for a big factory like Red Star. 2 million Ancuo funds are not guaranteed? Damn it!
"You prepare, next week, just tomorrow, and report back to me on your plan. In addition, how many similar problems are there in the factory? Let's organize and report together. ”
Remembering the request of my parents on the phone just now to return to Red Star, I decided to go to the Golden Olive community that I saw yesterday. He understands the feelings of his parents who want to come back, and his parents have been talking about their hometown for the past two years. After all, Red Star is the place where they have lived for most of their lives, with their colleagues, friends, and all their children. Now the biggest problem for parents to come back is the house, that day the sister-in-law has vaguely talked about this matter, Tao Tang naturally can't drive his brother and sister-in-law out of the current residence, the safest way is to buy a house for his parents, he does not consider buying a second-hand house in the factory, not to mention that Red Star may relocate, in order to love his mother not to cause trouble to himself, he must buy a house outside the factory for their pension, and as close to the factory as possible. That day he noticed the location of the golden olives, a maximum of twenty minutes walk, and the price was not too expensive.
As for the daughter, there is no problem with Xiaohe's management after her parents come back, her mother-in-law will go to Binjiang to take over, Xiaohe is brought up by her mother-in-law, and her relationship with her mother-in-law exceeds that of her parents. After the mother-in-law left, she just returned the house in Yanjing to the headquarters. His mother-in-law is from Yanjing, and she has her own house in Dongcheng District, and after he was transferred to Beijing, in order to take care of his life, her mother-in-law lived with him in the public house rented to him.
He was not prepared to call his own driver. Actually, he hadn't been in the car he was assigned to yet.
There are taxis outside the east gate of the factory, and more are black taxis. Most of the black cars are employees of the Red Star Factory, as if the city has never managed the black cars that are rampant here.
The black car drivers were the most observant, and immediately concluded that Tao Tang was a car user, "Where is the master going?" Sit mine. Three or four people gathered around.
"In the city, you know the golden olive, right?" Tao Tang looked at a loyal driver in his thirties.
"I know too much, ten bucks."
"Okay." Tao Tang got on the man's silver-gray Jetta.
"You're here to ask for an account, aren't you?" The driver asked.
"How do you know?"
"I saw you coming from the guest house. It's almost May Day, and there must be a lot of accounts. ”
"Oh......" At this time, Tao Tang's phone rang, and he saw that the number was the section of the red star, so he answered, "Uncle, I'm Xiaowei...... Where are you? ”
"Oh, it's Xiaowei. I'm out running errands. In a taxi. ”
"Uncle, my mother wants you to come to the house for dinner at noon......
"Okay, tell your mom, it must be simple, I'll turn around and leave after four dishes."
"Ah, you have relatives in Red Star?" The driver seems to be a pick-up.
"Hmm...... You're a factory worker, right? ”
"Yes. The salary is just that, what if you don't want to earn a few pocket money? ”
"I heard that there was a case in the factory recently?"
"You didn't get the money, did you? The number one has also been planted, and the big officials are like ants on a hot pot, and their salaries have not been paid for two months, where will they give you money? Listen to me, go back early. Wait two or three months, everything is normal, and come back again. ”
Before Tao Tang could answer, the phone rang again, this time it was Vice President Zhou Bing.
"Hello Vice President Zhou, it's okay...... Yes, I have already told the Ministry of Technology and Safety my opinion just now," Tao Tang pondered Zhou Bing's old and godless face and Sun Dunquan's evaluation of him in his mind, "Occupational disease prevention is our responsibility, how can we let employees work in such a harsh environment for a long time?" Migrant? Migrant workers are also human beings. My opinion is that rectification must be carried out thoroughly. Yes, let's look into it tomorrow, goodbye. ”
All the hard, dirty and dangerous jobs are migrant workers? You can't sit idly by.
"Ah, you're the new Mr. Tao, right? Really, I didn't expect it. The driver turned his head and said.
"Drive your car and stay safe."
"I hear you! You're a good officer! I heard that you went to the staff canteen to eat on the first day of your appointment, and now you are so concerned about occupational diseases. ”
"What's your name? In which unit? ”
"My name is Lin Shuisheng, and I am in the wooden box workshop of the labor company. Mr. Tao, those moths have caused a miserable disaster in the factory, I heard that you are our Red Star disciple, you have to treat those moths well......"
"It's here, right? Let's stop here. Tao Tang took out 10 yuan and handed it to Lin Shuisheng, "Thank you, Master Lin." ”
"How can I take your money?"
Tao Tang had already gotten out of the car and said to Lin Shuisheng, "Pay attention to safety." With that, he glanced up at the billboard and strode towards the door of the sales department.
