Early the next morning, Lin Zhenhua and others returned to Hanshan Township in a jeep. As soon as the car entered the town, I saw that the streets were full of young people, and they were gathered in twos and threes, talking excitedly and anxiously looking in the direction of the road. Seeing the jeep of Lin Zhenhua and others, the young people suddenly became jubilant and rushed towards the township government together.

"That's a lot of people." Sun Xiaodong said to Lin Zhenhua in the car.

Lin Zhenhua glanced at it roughly and said, "There are almost 200 people, it seems that this Gu Enyuan is quite good, and he should have sent the notice to everyone." ”

Sun Xiaodong said: "I also think this Secretary Gu is still good, Manager Lin, you are a little blinded by people this time, right?" ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "I hope I have lost my eyes. Yesterday when he said he would invite us to drink, I felt unhappy. This township is so poor, he is a secretary, and he is still talking about the rice wine in the township, I really can't get used to it. ”

Jiang Manqing said: "Xiaolin, this is your inexperience. This is the case in the countryside, no matter how poor you are, if the leaders come from above, you have to eat. We're here to give them benefits, and it's normal for them to want to treat us to a meal. ”

Lin Zhenhua sighed: "Alas, our wine table culture is really terrible. ”

Several people chatted all the way, and the driver, Wang Baohu, had already driven the car into the township government compound. The young people who came to apply for the job all stood far away, looking at Lin Zhenhua and the others and their jeeps with curious eyes, and it seemed that they were more interested in the jeeps than in Lin Zhenhua and the others.

Gu Enyuan had been waiting for them for a long time, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly introduced them to the conference room of the township government.

In the conference room, it was obviously deliberately arranged. There are two desks in the front, covered with a tattered but very clean red flannel cloth, and the enamel jars on the table are not known from where they were collected, which seems to be much better than the tea jars used by Gu Enyuan to receive Lin Zhenhua and his party the day before...... There are six or seven bumps on each tea jar.

The best indication of the owner's enthusiasm is the food on the table. On several large plates, there were washed water chestnuts, sugar cane sliced into sections, and even a few apples that looked languid. There are no apples in Jiangnan Province, even in Xunyang, apples are relatively high-end fruits, and I don't know how Gu Enyuan found these apples in just half a day.

"Secretary Gu, you guys are really thoughtful." Lin Zhenhua pointed to the plates of fruit and said with a smile.

Gu Enyuan was full of humility in front of him: "Where is it, this is how it should be." The leaders are here, and we didn't even eat a meal yesterday, so we really don't want to go. It's quite hard for you to take the exam today, so I've prepared some fruits for you to moisten your throat. According to the leader's request, we have called all the young people from the township. By the way, there are a few young people who are getting married, especially when there are more than a dozen female babies who are pregnant, and they didn't come, don't you think? ”

"Well, there's a chance in the future." Lin Zhenhua replied. For Gu Enyuan's attitude, Lin Zhenhua felt a little satisfied. He originally thought that even if Gu Enyuan didn't block the news and exclude ordinary peasant children, he would at least stuff a small note for them, with a few names that needed to be taken care of. But now it seems that Gu Enyuan didn't do this, which is really a rare thing.

"So, leaders, should we take a break first?" Gu Enyuan asked again.

"No, let's get started." Sun Xiaodong said, "Please Secretary Gu arrange for someone to organize, let the candidates fill out the form first, and then come in one by one, we have to ask some questions." Finally, the scores are unified to decide who to hire. ”

"Okay, okay, all the staff of our township government today are deployed by you, and we will do what you say." Gu Enyuan said.

The interview process is boring and boring, but Bei Xiaodong is familiar with this work and does not find it cumbersome. Lin Zhenhua and Jiang Manqing sat beside him, silently observing the applicants one by one, and marking the impression score on the score sheet in front of him.

"Name?"

"Yan Renjun."

"Date of birth."

"August 1997......

"How many years have you been reading?"

"I graduated from high school."

"Read this article." Sun Xiaodong stuffed a piece of paper and said.

Yan Renjun took the article and read it stumblingly: "The first bed of the Aix Ugly Horizontal Universal Lifting Table is mainly used for processing planes, grooves and forming surfaces, etc., and is often used in single pieces and batch production......"

"Well, that's it." Sun Xiaodong said, "There is a word in it that is mispronounced, it is milling, not first." ”

"I didn't learn that." Yan Renjun said sneeringly.

"Have you ever studied fractions?"

"Learned."

"What is half plus a third?"

"One in five."

"Hmm......" Sun Xiaodong sighed softly and wrote a 3 on the application form in front of him. The education level of the entire Hanshan Township is really enough, and the language of these young people is barely passable, but when it comes to mathematics, it is basically blank.

Workers like this can only be recruited into the factory as general workers, and it is too difficult to train them to become technicians.

The interview lasted a whole day. When he was in the middle of the cow, Gu Enyuan came to invite everyone to the restaurant to eat, but Lin Zhenhua refused. In the end, Gu Enyuan couldn't screw it, so he had to ask the restaurant to prepare the meal and send it to the conference room of the township government. really made Jiang Manqing right, even though Lin Zhenhua repeatedly asked for a simpler meal, Gu Huiyuan still asked people to get a large grass carp weighing a few catties, steamed a whole plate duck, and the rice was even more exaggerated, and a basin was brought over, which was enough for Lin Zhenhua and his party to eat for a week.

"Leaders, are you still used to the taste of the food?" Gu Enyuan stood aside, watching Lin Zhenhua and the others eat, and kept greeting in his mouth.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Secretary Gu, in fact, you don't need to make it so rich, just keep it simple." ”

"Not abundant, not abundant." Gu Enyuan said, "Originally, I asked you to go to the restaurant for a light meal, but the leaders firmly disagreed. Your work style is really worth learning from. Well, in the evening, when we're done with our work, I'll be sure to entertain you well. ”

After lunch, the interview continued. All the young people who came to apply, whether they had completed the interview or not, stayed in the courtyard of the township government, waiting for the final result. Despite the cold family style, no one left early.

"Attention, everyone, now I announce the results of the interview!" Finally, Sun Xiaodong appeared with a piece of paper. A township government worker brought him a table, and Sun Xiaodong jumped on the table and read the list of hires condescendingly:

Zhang Jianxiu, Wang Luhua, Chen Liying......"

The young people whose names were read jumped for joy one by one, and then they were led into the conference room by the staff to sign an employment contract with Jiang Manqing. Of course, they will eventually have to go through a medical examination, and if any disease is found, the contract will be invalid.

"A total of knife people, the list is announced."

When Sun Xiaodong finished reading the last name, the people who stayed in the courtyard sighed in unison, and some people rushed forward eagerly, begging for Sun Xiaodong and Lin Zhenhua who was standing aside:

"Leader, how many more places will you have?"

"My family's life is very difficult, leader, can you recruit me as a master?"

"Leader, my family is an ancestral blacksmith, you recruit me, I am very capable of working."

“”

Yan Renjun, who was eliminated, squeezed to Lin Zhenhua's side sweating profusely, and said to Lin Zhenhua: "Leader, I went to my elementary school teacher in Zhouzhou and asked, and he said that one-half plus one-third equals five-sixth, do you think it's right?" ”

Lin Zhenhua smiled helplessly at him and said, "This answer is right, but it's a pity that you answered too late." ”

"Leader, will you give me another chance? My grandmother is not in good health, and I have three younger siblings below me, so I am really struggling. Yan Renjun said stubbornly.

Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "I really can't help, everyone is in difficulty, we still have to pay attention to fairness, right?" ”

Yan Renjun said disappointedly: "Alas, it's all my fault, just read the book early." Leader, you better take me away, I don't want a salary of 10,000 yuan, you can give me a piece of power to occupy a ......"

"It's unlikely." Lin Zhenhua replied, he was about to turn around and return to the conference room, when suddenly his mind felt a thrill, he grabbed Yan Renjun's hand and asked, "What did you say?" What is a salary of 10,000 yuan? ”

Yan Renjun replied ignorantly: "Isn't this your standard for recruitment?" Yesterday, Secretary Gu came to us for a meeting, saying that there was a big factory in Xunyang to recruit workers, and when everyone was apprenticed, the factory would give 30 yuan, of which 10,000 yuan was our salary, and 5 yuan was the management fee handed over to the township. ”

"That's what he said?" Lin Zhenhua was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that Gu Enyuan still had such a hand.

Yan Renjun said: "That's what you said, if you don't believe it, ask the others." ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "But, did he say that how to pay the 5 yuan handed over to the township?" The wages in the factory are paid to you, will you still hand them over? ”

Yan Renjun said: "We have signed a contract with the township, as long as we are hired, we will pay 5 yuan to the township every month for a year."

If we don't pay it, the township will take our family's responsibility land. ”

There is no king in TMD! Lin Zhenhua only felt a nameless fire rising from his heart. He had also heard that rural cadres were accustomed to apportioning all kinds of expenses to the peasants, but he did not expect that Hanshan Township would dare to do so unscrupulously and fearfully. He gave these poor migrant workers 30 yuan, and the township was able to take 5 yuan away with the responsible field as a threat, which was simply a blatant robbery.

No wonder Gu Enyuan was able to come up with the money to invite himself to drink!

When Lin Zhenhuazhou thought of this, he saw Gu Enyuan holding Jiang Manqing's hand and came over, and he greeted Lin Zhenhua warmly: "Manager Lin, let's go, let's talk about it, the work is done, we must go and drink a few bowls of wine." ”

"Xiaolin, look, I told Secretary Gu, don't trouble them, he has to insist." Jiang Manqing stepped forward and said apologetically to Lin Zhenhua. After saying this, he lowered his voice and said, "Xiaolin, why don't we go to have a meal with him, and let Xiaodong settle the meal bill, so that they don't have to pay." ”

"No, I'm going to eat them." Lin Zhenhua replied, he raised his face and said to Gu Enyuan: "Secretary Gu, it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, and we will bother you." However, I can make it clear that the four major pieces of chicken, duck and fish meat are not good for us to have less. ”

"No problem, I promise to make all leaders satisfied!" Gu Enyuan didn't hear the hostility in Lin Zhenhua's words, and only made a promise boldly.
