"Why are you looking at me like that? Thought I was fooling you, didn't I? Ma Xingwei said.

"Xingwei, or people say that Shibei should be impressed in three days, this is true! I didn't expect that it has only been three or four years since you went to society, and you have such great ability! In an instant, Zhou Jianping's expression changed from doubt to sigh.

"Look at what you said, why don't you arrange a temporary worker? What a great skill! But don't compliment me yet, I'll let the old man do it for you. ”

"Why, you can't do it? Or do you want to trouble uncle? ”

"I can do that, and if I find the manager of the affiliate, he can give me this face. But why bother? I don't need to let the old man go, I still have to talk to them, as if begging them, such a simple little thing, just a phone call from the old man, and the manager of the subsidiary company will have to arrange you properly. The most important thing is, the person arranged by the old man, which one of the people in the company dares to despise you? ”

Zhou Jianping, who was born in a remote rural area, is really fortunate to have such a real old classmate as Ma Xingwei!

"Xingwei, in fact, you don't need to make trouble with your uncle, as long as I am allowed to go to work, I can do any work, I don't have any pickiness about my work."

"I know your character, you can endure hardships, you don't want to cause trouble to others, you are willing to face everything yourself, and you will never ask for help unless you have to. But Jianping, when I admire your hard-working and self-righteous character, I also want to advise my old classmates, since you came out of that remote village, you must adapt to today's social environment and learn to borrow strength, how did Mr. Xunzi warn us? 'Ascend and move, the arm is not lengthened, but the one who sees is far away; Blowing with the wind, the sound is not a disease, but the hearer is prominent. 'The process of adaptation is also a process of learning. Ma Xingwei admonished.

"Thank you Xingwei for your advice, let me integrate into the city, I will adapt to all this."

"How dare I instruct in your presence? Don't forget, when I was in school, I always asked you a lot of questions. Ma Xingwei is right, although he was not admitted to university, Zhou Jianping's academic results have always been ahead of him.

"At this time and that time, in the classroom of society, you can even be my teacher."

There was not much left in the second glass, "Do you want to drink some?" Ma Xingwei asked.

"If you don't drink it, let's do what we say, two glasses of wine, and don't drink more at all." Zhou Jianping covered his wine glass with his hand.

"Alright, that's all for today. Old classmate, it looks like you want to go to work soon, where are you staying tonight? If you don't have a place to stay, stay here with me tonight. ”

"Of course, the sooner you go to work, the better, I have a place to live, and before I came to you, I had already told a business friend to go to live with him."

In fact, Zhou Jianping has no place to live at all, where did he have any business friends in Dongxing City? After leaving for a while, he could only find a small cheap hotel. But he has to lie, otherwise with his relationship with Ma Xingwei and Ma Xingwei's personality and temper, he has to keep him at home, not long after he got married, Zhou Jianping is a big man living at home, even if Ma Xingwei and his wife are sincere, he will feel very awkward.

As for going to work, Zhou Jianping can't wait to inform him to go to the unit tomorrow.

"I don't know where to look for you, do you have something to do tomorrow? If it's okay, you can go to our unit around 10 a.m. to find me. Ma Xingwei told Zhou Jianping the address and phone number of his office.

"What else is there? I'm here to find an opportunity. Let's make a decision, I'll go to the unit at ten o'clock to find you. Zhou Jianping was indescribably happy in his heart.

Leaving Ma Xingwei's house, Zhou Jianping walked along a road, looking around in order to find a small hotel to settle down. Because of what Ma Xingwei mentioned, Zhou Jianping was in a super happy mood, and he hummed the very popular "toast song" along the way.

After walking two or three thousand meters, almost at the end of the road, I found a small hotel. When registering, Zhou Jianping took the initiative to confess: "I didn't bring a letter of introduction. ”

Inside the window was an old man in his sixties and seventies, who looked up and glanced at Zhou Jianping from behind his reading glasses, "Now the requirements for letters of introduction are not so strict, and besides, our small hotel was not very strict before." ”

After completing the accommodation procedures, the administrator opened the door, Zhou Jianping entered the house, and saw two beds in the room, and on the bed by the window, there was a middle-aged man, who seemed to have fallen asleep for a long time, snoring thunderously, and Zhou Jianping couldn't wake him up when he entered the room and turned on the light.

Lying in bed, thinking that he was going to become a wage-earning worker, even if it was a temporary worker, made Zhou Jianping feel excited and made him unable to sleep for a long time. finally calmed down his mood, and the noise from the uncle's nasal cavity and mouth on the bed next to him was too loud, which also made Zhou Jianping toss and turn and couldn't fall asleep.

Staying up until the morning, Zhou Jianping fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was close to nine o'clock in the morning. He hurriedly got up from the bed, finished washing, ate something on the roadside stall, and hurriedly walked to Ma Xingwei's unit.

Before ten o'clock, Zhou Jianping came to the gate of the factory, and the doorman stopped him, "Which unit are you from?" Who to look for? Do you have a letter of introduction? ”

Faced with a series of questions from the doorman, Zhou Jianping only replied: "I, I'm looking for Ma Xingwei." ”

"Ma Xingwei? You haven't answered which unit you are from, do you have a letter of introduction? ”

"I am a friend of Ma Xingwei, he asked me to come to the unit to find him, and we made an appointment yesterday." Zhou Jianping tried his best to avoid the letter of introduction.

The young doorman stretched his head to the window next to him and asked inside: "Squad leader, this person is looking for Ma Xingwei, he didn't introduce him, who is Ma Xingwei?" "There are thousands of people in the unit, and of course the young doorman can't know all the employees, and he has never heard of Ma Xingwei.

"Ma Xingwei? It's a familiar name, you tell him to wait, I'll call. The middle-aged man known as the squad leader grabbed the internal phone, "Hey, do you know who Ma Xingwei is?" "The call must have been to his friend.

After a few moments, the squad leader told the young doorman, "Let him in." ”

"Do I still need to register?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Tell him to let him in! ”

Zhou Jianping thought to himself, this squad leader must know who Ma Xingwei is.

Ma Xingwei's office is very small, except for a simple desk and a chair, the rest of the room can only be put down a chair. After the two met, Ma Xingwei asked, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

"Not so good."

"Why?"

"The thought of being a worker makes me very excited."

"Hey, as for that? A temporary worker is nothing. ”

"It's nothing to you, but it's a big deal to me!"

"At the gate of the factory just now, the doorman didn't let you in, right?"

"I didn't expect it to be so heavily guarded!"

"We are a civilian enterprise, where is the security from the high-security? But the factory has factory rules, and you can't let anyone come and go casually, so isn't it chaotic? Ma Xingwei said.

"That's what management is called, right?" Zhou Jianping said.

"Enterprise management involves many aspects, and the doorman system is only one of them."

"Xingwei, have I settled the matter?" This is what Zhou Jianping is most concerned about.

"At eight o'clock, I went to the old man's office and told him about your situation, and learned that you are a high school student, from a rural area, with high quality, and able to endure hardships, he immediately made a phone call and recommended you to Lao Liu, the manager of the affiliated company, and this manager Liu didn't say a word, and immediately agreed."

"Thank you uncle, thank you Xingwei!"

"Jianping, you tell me the truth, don't you have a place to live in the city?"

Zhou Jianping blushed, "Don't hide it from my old classmates, I live in a hotel." ”

"Is that okay? How expensive it is to stay in a hotel! If you are in a hurry to go to work, you go home this afternoon and bring your luggage, and I will find someone to help you arrange a bed in the single staff dormitory, which will solve your accommodation. "Ma Xingwei is such a good buddy and enthusiastic!

"Xingwei, this is simply great! How can I thank you? Zhou Jianping said excitedly.

"Jianping, you really don't need to be so polite with me, let's go, I'll take you to the subsidiary company to report."

Manager Liu of the affiliated company, graduated from high school in the late sixties, ten years of cold window, when it was time to take the university entrance examination, the ten years of catastrophe began, the country stopped the normal college entrance examination enrollment, lost the precious opportunity to go on to higher education, the society is accustomed to the high school students who graduated in those years as the "old three". Although he is only in his thirties, he is an old man compared to Ma Xingwei, and Ma Xingwei has always called him Lao Liu behind his back.

This Lao Liu was originally a middle-level cadre of Ma Xingwei's company, belonging to the young and strong generation, when forming a subsidiary company, he needed a pioneering leader, Ma Xingwei's father thought he was very suitable, so he appointed Lao Liu as the manager of the subsidiary company. With this relationship, Manager Liu has great respect for Ma Xingwei's father and son.

When he arrived at the door of the subsidiary manager's office, Ma Xingwei knocked a few times, pushed the door into the room, and spoke first without waiting to sit down: "Manager Liu, this is my old classmate Zhou Jianping." ”

Lao Liu got up and asked Ma Xingwei and Zhou Jianping to sit on the bench against the wall, and made tea for the two. "Oh, that's the one who Director Ma told me on the phone?"

"That's him."

"Hello!" Lao Liu took the initiative to reach out and shake Zhou Jianping, "You and Xingwei are high school classmates?" Okay, the three of us belong to the old third and the new third. Director Ma spoke, of course I don't have any problems here, when do you want to go to work? ”

"He wants to get to work as soon as possible." Ma Xingwei answered for Zhou Jianping.

"Yes, come to me anytime when you're ready."

"Manager Liu, what work are you going to let him do?" Ma Xingwei asked.

"Xingwei, I want him to go to the production line first to familiarize himself with the production process, raw materials and product nature, and then make other arrangements, which will also be beneficial for him to do other work."

"Manager Liu, I am willing to go to the production workshop." Zhou Jianping replied very interestingly.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, he has something else to do, so we'll take our leave." Ma Xingwei said.

"Don't worry, if he wants to come to work one day, just come to me."

Coming out of Lao Liu's office, Ma Xingwei led Zhou Jianping to the office building of the unit, "Let's go, let's go to the logistics department and solve the single dormitory with you." ”

Zhou Jianping followed behind, watching this enthusiastic old classmate run around for himself.
