Chapter Twenty-Four: Becoming an Official Again
Xue Xiang said sincerely, but Kang Xiaoba couldn't listen to it anymore: "Third brother, I don't like to hear this when you say this." To put it mildly, if we obey you, we will obey your righteousness, and we can still ask you to cover us for the rest of our lives? It doesn't make sense anywhere. To tell the truth, I used to serve your fists, but now, you can bring food to your brothers in the middle of the night, in a word, this 'third brother' is not in vain. ”
Kang Xiaoba didn't talk nonsense, speaking of which, this group of people is not Xue Xiang's hardcore brothers, except for Hao Yunlai and his gang, they were basically subdued by Xue Xiang with his fists.
Kang Xiaoba said it sincerely, and the group of people were also quite touched when they heard it, and they immediately wanted to say a few words, but they were interrupted by Xue Xiang waving his hand: "Okay, don't talk about these useless things, let's be serious, I really have something to ask you for help..."
"What do you say to help, the third brother said this is not authentic, unfortunately, the wine is gone, if there is still it, I have to pay a few fines, third brother, if you have something, just order, this mushroom is not your style." As soon as Hao Yunlai heard that Xue Xiang had his own, he immediately grabbed his voice.
Xue Xiang reprimanded: "When did Lao Tzu grind mushrooms, didn't you just open your mouth to say it, but you kid blocked it." ”
"Hahaha......"
"Alright, don't laugh, listen, it's like this. Do you remember when I asked you to pour stamps for me, this time we changed the old things? The routine is basically the same as the inverted stamps, but there is a little bit of secrecy, and don't arouse the alarm of others, you will scatter the surrounding countryside to hang around, and I don't want you to know those objects, look suitable, and spend money to sneak back to me. It's as simple as that, what do you think? ”
After Xue Xiang finished speaking, he looked at everyone and seemed to have a difficult face. Even Hao Yunlai, who had spoken loudly before, frowned. Xue Xiang turned his mind and took out a wad of money from his pocket. smiled: "Is it scratching your heart for this?" ”
Xue Xiang was really right, just now he asked the family to spend money and sneak the old things back, but the pockets of these people were already as empty as if they had been washed, and for a while, where was the response. After all, it's easy to pat your chest and promise, but you can't do it then. Wouldn't it be more humiliating?
Xue Xiang has now developed the habit of carrying a huge amount of banknotes with him, and the pile of unity he took out was so thick that everyone was dizzy.
Xue Xiang waved his hand. attracted everyone's attention, and continued: "Let's put it this way, I will let you help find the old things, and I can't let your efforts be in vain, our brothers will settle the accounts." I am paid a salary of 50 yuan a month, this is not my hypocrisy, everyone has to eat, right? ”
I didn't expect Xue Xiang to say it so well, but as soon as the words came out, it was like throwing a bomb into the toilet. And when it was thrown, there was still a row of people squatting there, which naturally caused a lot of complaints.
"Third brother, what are you talking about, do a little favor, and collect your money, isn't this a curse?"
"Yes, I didn't do that, if it weren't for the fact that my brother didn't fight in his pockets, looking for some old gadgets, and it wasn't like playing, he would have used the acquisition fee in the third brother, and he would have paid back the salary, so that no one would live."
"The third brother's words have completely lost the spiritual outlook that our revolutionary youth should have, and the whole child surrendered to the capital, and paid wages, even if you want to be a capitalist, we are not willing to be sweatworkers! In short, in a word, if the third brother calls us to work, we have nothing to say; But if Boss Xue shouts to work, we really won't wait..."Ji Changfa is the most clever, and after three or two sentences, he will go online to Xue Shanggang.
Xue Xiang waved his hand, stopped everyone's condemnation, and continued: "Don't talk to Lao Tzu, I don't want you to help you for a day or two, but I want you to be a businessman." Now, you may think that this faceless night owl is a shame, but I promise that in less than ten years, you will be glad for today's decision..."
Seeing that Xue Xiang said solemnly, no one was half-hearted at this time, everyone was calm, and listened to Xue Xiang continue: "Of course, you don't think that Lao Tzu is kind heart, feed you in vain, I can't hide it, I went to Hong Kong Island this month, and when I went over there, the rags on our side are worth the old nose money over there, and we see this rags smashed, destroyed, and some were treated as broken cylinders, and I really don't feel good in my heart, so I have such an idea, it's better for us to collect it and take it to Hong Kong Island to exchange money." Of course, our grandfathers are not selling their ancestors, good things are resolutely not allowed to come out, we have to save them ourselves, as for those who don't care but are treated as treasures by those capitalists, we can't let the capitalists look at it pitifully, help them one or two, and treat them as good deeds...."
"Hahaha........."
Xue Xiang said wittily and reasonably, it seems to have a lot of development prospects, and the knot is open, and a group of people are happy.
Everyone was happy for a while, Xue Xiang threw away the pile of money and asked everyone to divide it, saying that he would use it to subsidize the family first, and let Xu Xiaofei, Kang Xiaoba, and Hao Yunlai come to his house tomorrow to get the start-up capital, and told everyone to do their best.
Originally, everyone thought that this pile of money was the start-up capital, but who knew that it was given by the third brother in vain, and they immediately wanted to make a noise, and they were scolded back by Xue Xiangsan first. In the end, Xue Xiang explained to the group of people who were waiting for the experience of him and Lei Xiaotian and his gang in pouring antiques, specially instructed disguise and secrecy, sat down for a while, and then got up to say goodbye and go.
…………….
Early the next morning, after sending the three elementary schools to school, and then welcoming the three Hao Yunlai who arrived as promised, Xue stuffed an envelope to one of them and "drove away" the three of them. As for why even the basic etiquette is gone, it is because Xue has three exams a day today.
The three exams didn't last long, and in the last one, Xue Xiang handed in his papers in advance as usual, and when he got out of the school, it was only half past three in the afternoon. He drove the car and ran to Chaoyang Iron and Steel Factory, just to find Li Siye. After all, although this time is not like the last time, there are lame third and Li Siye to follow the checks, but blindly buy old objects, but before the delivery to Hong Kong Island, there are still few insiders to check and select treasures and genuine products, the lame third is not there, obviously, this job has to fall on Li Siye.
Originally, Xue Xiang really considered mentioning the third lame man - to bring Li Siye to Hong Kong Island, but now there is no need to bother, after all, there is no shortage of insiders here. When Xue Xiang arrived at Fourth Master Li's house. Li Siye was chopping firewood in the courtyard, and the small courtyard made of blue bricks had already been placed in a circle next to the wall, and Li Siye was shirtless. Sweat rained down, under the scorching sun. The back is roasted red.
Xue Xiang straddled the car and greeted him through the blue brick courtyard wall, Li Siye turned around, and when he saw that it was Xue Xiang, a smile appeared on his sad face, wiped his sweaty hands with the towel on his shoulder, and walked quickly to meet him.
I haven't seen Li Siye for a year. It turned out that his gray hair was already white, and it seemed that his life was still not easy. Xue Xiang threw a cigarette away, and directly explained his intentions, Li Siye just stuffed the cigarette into his mouth. An excited opened his mouth, but before he could speak, the cigarette fell first, and it was a shame that Xue Xiangyan's hand was quick, and he reached over the wall and grabbed it. Hand it back to him.
To say that Li Siye is really excited, at this time, his mother-in-law's illness has not only not been alleviated compared with last year, but has become more serious, and the efficiency of the factory is also sluggish. I only earn twenty or thirty yuan a dead salary every month, barely enough for the two children to go to school and the family to eat and wrap, but my mother-in-law's illness can no longer be maintained, if it weren't for the money given by Xue Xiang more than a year ago, this family would have been unable to sustain itself. At this moment, when Li Siye saw Xue reminding the old matter, and when he was most embarrassed, thinking about the speed of doing that job to make money, his blood immediately boiled.
Seeing that Li Siye responded, Xue Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and estimated that Li Siye's current situation was not very good, so he took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over, Li Siye was puzzled, thinking that it was a letter, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a bundle of banknotes, and immediately trembled his hands, handed it back to Xue Xiang, and did not accept it, or Xue Xiang said that the salary was discounted, Li Siye withdrew his hand and held it tightly.
Interview Li Siye, the exam has ended, and the summer vacation is coming, although he, the king of absenteeism, has no concept of summer vacation, but he can finally rest justifiably, yes, Xue Xiang is completely relaxed.
Turning the head of the car, I went to Ding Weidong's place, bought some stick bones, wolfberries and yam eggs, and went home to boil a pot of stick bone soup. After the soup was ready, I looked at the time again, and it was almost the time after school, and I drove the three elementary schools back. In the past few days, Xue Xiang, the eldest brother, seems to have returned to the way he was when he was just piercing, taking care of a few small things, and almost every day he changed the way to make food for them, and after more than ten days of hard work, the little guy's pointed face immediately blew into a red apple.
In a few days, the summer vacation officially began, and the family had their own ideas. The little guy shouted that he wanted to go to Lingnan to see Xue Anyuan and Kang Tong; Xue Lin seems to be preoccupied every day, going out early and returning late, saying that he is not going anywhere, so he stays home, and lets Xue Xiang lead the three children and just go out to play; Xiaowan wanted to go to Xiangshan, saying that the red leaves over there were blooming beautifully; Xiaoyi said that he had an appointment with a partner and wanted to play football every day.
A bunch of ideas, it is difficult to hold each other, Xue Xiang simply did not show up, let everyone act separately, as for the idea that the little guy wanted to go to Lingnan, he was directly killed, at this time Xue Anyuan and Kang Tong were too busy, how could they have the time to accompany her.
Fortunately, the little guy has been a lot more well-behaved recently, and he didn't make trouble with Xue Xiang, holding a bunch of comic books and toys all day long, but he was also happy. The summer is long, and the summer is scorching, Xue Xiang didn't have the strength to toss, even Lei Xiaotian and Zhu Shijun shouted to pick peaches after going to Laojun Temple, but they were all denied, and they only read books at home all day.
Xue Xiang has been an official for a long time, and many officials with hills and valleys have encountered a lot, especially Chen Dao's profundity, Zhao Guodong's smoothness, Hu Liming's stitching, and Guo Minjia's ruthlessness makes him remember it vividly. He thought to himself, if there was no accumulation and foresight in his previous life, just in terms of officialdom methods, these four people, any one, would be enough for him to study for ten or eight years.
Of course, Xue Xiang is not an official to play with power, but to have his own ambitions. But if he doesn't know how to scheming, I'm afraid that no matter how ambitious he is, there will be no place for him to show his performance, and he will be able to eat any one of the four people. A line in the sentence: corrupt officials are traitors, and clean officials are even more traitorous.
The word "treacherous" is extended here, which is the art of contingency, scheming and calculation.
Therefore, throughout the summer vacation, Xue someone hugged and turned over non-stop, although the two months were short, but he benefited a lot.
To say that Xue Xiang flips the book and feels that time flies, the little guy can't wait to go up all year round, and every day is summer vacation. However, the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, and the happy time always slips the fastest, and it is time to start school again.
Xue Xiangzheng was thinking about what to do next semester, but he didn't expect the organization to make a decision for him - his appointment notice came down.
