Chapter Twenty-Five: The Relapse of Old Diseases

The security class of Jiaxin Company is subordinate to the People's Armed Forces Security Department of the company's organs, and belongs to the third line in terms of salary division. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In Jiaxin Company, the salary of third-line employees is the lowest, which is clearly reflected in the salary scale of the unit, but Ma Shengli found that when the brothers of the guard squad were on duty, they did not relax their vigilance because the salary standard was set at the lowest, but everyone was full of spring breeze, all of them fulfilled their duties, and all personnel and vehicles entering and leaving the company were strictly checked and never slackened. The company's leaders must have always been aware of the rigorous work attitude of the guards in the guard class, as evidenced by the two rows of "advanced team" plaques hanging on the north wall of the guard room.

After Ma Shengli joined the guard class, he has been wondering, what is the reason why the brothers in the guard class have such full enthusiasm for work? Three days of two meals, and occasionally send some extra money that can't be talked about to others, is this money really the class fee that Captain Kong said?

When he first joined Jiaxin Company, to be honest, Ma Shengli has always been working with the idea of messing around. Thinking that the doorman is just a watchdog, guarding the gate on weekdays, someone comes, "Wangwang" two sentences, pass a word; At the end of the month, the salary should be as much as it should be, and no matter how well you do it, the salary will not increase; No matter how hard you work, your salary will not decrease. As time passed, Ma Shengli was helped by the brothers in the guard class, and he no longer thought so.

Since the last time Ma Shengli invited guests to drink the joining wine, the relationship between Ma Shengli and the brothers in the class has become closer and closer. Everyone no longer treats him as an outsider, he is called a brother to each other, he works closely together, he is allowed to participate in the activities he should participate in, and the remuneration he should receive is shared equally with him. Ma Shengli's work attitude has gradually become proactive from the initial negative and decadent, and he has become a fanatic on the defense front of Jiaxin. The reason why Ma Shengli's words and deeds changed was because he learned some secrets in his work, which were the secrets of the guards and brothers, and this secret could improve the quality of life of the guards and brothers, including Ma Shengli.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, and finding a tomb stall, you don't have to worry about having no place to worship, this is indeed very insightful. There are two ways to make money in the guard class, one is to cooperate with the inside and the outside; The second is to take the initiative.

As the name suggests, it is to cooperate with the inside and outside to do something. Rats and dogs have been stealing since ancient times, the big ones stealing the country, the small ones stealing the family, the thieves are called stealing, and the thieves are said to be stealing. Jiaxin Company is full of talents, and there has always been no shortage of talents in this generation. Since the heads of the companies can ignore the lives of the workers, dare to be greedy for the merits of heaven as their own, and shamelessly collect two-thirds of the total wages into their own pockets, then the smart and helpless workers have to find ways to generate some income by themselves.

There is a saying that by the way, the bosses are robbing openly, and the small workers are not allowed to steal? Everyone understands that there is no crime in robbing openly and there is a mistake in stealing. But wealth is in danger! I can't bear the child, I can't catch the wolf! As a result, some of the thieves and thieves started to think crookedly, thinking about how to transfer the materials within the company to the outside of the wall, as long as the materials are outside the wall, they can immediately convert it into cash, and they will have an extra income outside the salary. There are materials around, and the question is through which channels to get them out. Some people slipped around the company, and found that the wall was towering, and the two doors were forbidden, and these people were a little discouraged, not only worried that they did not have the ability to fly the eaves and walk the wall, but also hated that they would not be able to do the art of Qimen Dunjia.

Everything is afraid to ponder, some people have been aggrieved for a long time, so they have a new idea, thinking that there is no cat in the world that does not eat fish, since cats are also poor, and rats are also sleepy, why not come to a cat and mouse alliance and join forces together, in that case, wouldn't it save a lot of things? If you have the audacity, you will take the initiative to hook up with the doorman, first climb the friendship and then drink, and when the relationship is cultivated to a certain extent, you will tell the plan and the plate in your chest, and promise that after the matter is completed, the benefits will be shared equally; The East Window incident is a promise to bear the consequences. Such conditions are too lethal, so that these poor guys in the guard squad are embarrassed to refuse. What's the difference between thinking about such a good thing and pie in the sky? You don't have to move your mouth, you don't have to use your hands, all you have to do is turn a blind eye at the right time, and as a result, someone will take the initiative to send the money to the door, why not? Besides, everyone has promised that if one day the matter is revealed, everything will be taken by the thief himself, and he will never recruit himself, and he will be so righteous for others, what is there to worry about? Taking a step back, the company just found out and seriously investigated it, and it was a big deal that it was a poor supervision and dereliction of duty. This doesn't hurt the skin or the flesh, so the fool doesn't agree to it! So the two sides hit it off, and the sale was closed.

The inside and outside cooperation needs to cooperate with the people inside, and there is a certain risk in operation, and the initiative is the independent action of the guard squad. This trick is mainly used against those thieves who are greedy and occasionally want to make money, and once these people hit the muzzle of the guard squad, they are often punished with a blue nose and swollen face. There are two ways to deal with the thief: one is to report to the company's human resources and security department and hand it over to the company's leaders to deal with, which is what petty thieves are most afraid of, because the result of the treatment is not only to publicize the list and embarrass people, but also to impose a fine of 100 times the amount of the stolen property, and some people even lose their jobs because of this; The second solution is that the parties are private, and the doorman makes a price, which is neither high nor low, and it is also the salary of ordinary workers for three or two months, which mainly depends on the mood of the brothers in the guard class that day. On the issue of price, the thief can't talk back, or choose to accept it, and obediently go home to get the money; Either go to the office building by yourself and confess to the company leaders. Most of the thieves will choose a private solution, honestly pay the fine and leave. The money is paid happily, and things naturally never happen, they are safe with each other, and when they meet at work the next day, they may be able to give each other a smile. Of course, the money fined for private money will never reach the company's financial books, and the brothers of the guard squad are not stupid enough to do that. When there are few people, the money is swallowed alone, and when there are many people, it is divided equally, which is also one of the unspoken rules of the guard class.

There is food, drink and money every month, and it is not difficult to understand whether the salary should be or how much, and it is not difficult to understand that the brothers in the guard squad work hard. The seriousness of the work attitude has nothing to do with the sense of responsibility at work. For a better tomorrow, we are still diligent and diligent, and we are working hard every day to find new economic growth points. Are there any people in the world who can't get along with money?

If you drink too much wine, you can make a lot of noise, and if you take too much money, you will be good at making trouble. Banknotes come easily, and they float lightly. Every time after a full meal, rubbing cards and gambling on a few handfuls is a necessary subject for the brothers in the guard class. If there is gambling, there must be wins and losses, and the person who wins the money is not able to put all the money into his pocket, so it is not enough to be righteous and angry, and it is generally necessary to take out some of it to entertain everyone, watch movies, go to the dance hall, eat supper or something. Originally, eating, drinking and having fun is the true meaning of life! The advantage of this is that for the loser, he has been compensated psychologically, thinking that although he has lost a little bit of his money, he has been happy physically and mentally, eating, drinking, playing, and having fun, and the important thing is that everyone is happy together, so he thinks that his money is not really lost, but he has played it together, but he is sometimes unlucky, and he has more members. The cards are ever-changing, the gambling game is capricious, who can be sure that they will always lose? Who can guarantee that they will always win? The next time there was a meeting, the brothers were still vying to get to the table.

Everyone likes to make up for the table, but the horse doesn't win. He likes to stand and play cards, sometimes sneaking to this table, sometimes running to that table, and relishing each other. At first, the brothers in the guard squad didn't mind too much, thinking that he was a newcomer and thin-faced, and he was embarrassed to compete with his old comrades for a position. Later, there were a few times when there was a shortage of people at the poker table, and everyone repeatedly invited him to come up and make up the numbers, but he refused to play, and the brothers had an idea in their hearts, and they could say anything about him. Some say that when the money arrives in Ma Shengli's pocket, it is like being washed with alum water, and it is so astringent that it can no longer be taken out; Some say that Ma Shengli's money is on the bank's seal, and he saved it there to marry a little wife in the future; Others simply say that he is nine picks plus one pick, and ten (real) picks! [Cut into a dialect, the meaning of stinginess; Those who really pick the door are really picking. Although these words had a joking element, Ma Shengli could still feel the dissatisfaction behind the words, and felt that he was no longer like something in the eyes of his brothers.

No one can understand the distress that Ma Shengli endured in his heart during this time, and this distress is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word "torment". Imagine a fishing enthusiast who sees a pool full of swimming fish, holding a fishing rod and hooking incense bait, but can't hook it on the water; A food lover, facing a table full of delicacies and jade liquid, but he can't drink happily and eat happily. What is the taste in the hearts of the two, what is the taste in the hearts of Ma Shengli. Watching others play cards, Ma Shengli's heart is actually itching to death, but he still has to pretend to be mentally retarded on the surface, always modestly prevaricating that his cards are poor and cannot be on the table. Everyone laughed at him, sarcastically mocked him, he could only come to a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, smiled and stood on the side, let you talk about it, I was not moved. After a long time, everyone knew that he refused to go to the table, and he didn't bother to tease him when he played cards again.

Although the cards are not played, they can also satisfy their cravings. Every time I watch someone play cards, I see that someone has won money, and Ma Shengli will be happy, thinking that if this card is played by himself, he will definitely be able to win money; If someone loses, Ma Shengli will regret it, thinking that if he lets himself play, he will not necessarily lose. As the days passed, Ma Shengli often felt his own gains and losses between the wins and losses of others, and he really didn't know whether to enjoy or be tortured for Ma Shengli, who was a good gambler.

Ma Shengli didn't know how long he could last in such an environment, sometimes he felt that his spirit was about to collapse, but when he returned to the rental house after work, when he thought of the million-dollar family business he had lost because of impulsiveness, guilt took hold again, and when he arrived at class the next day, his will would become firm again. In order to consolidate his determination to quit gambling, in order to dispel the luck that may occur when playing cards, Ma Shengli decided not to carry a penny on his body, and the first thing he did when he returned home was to give the money to his mother, so that even if he sometimes wanted to gamble, there was no money to gamble in his pocket. He thought so, and really did it, and the effect was really good, and he persevered for a few months, but he didn't touch a handful of cards.

For Ma Shengli's approach, Ma Shengli is happy. Since beating her son to go to work in Jiaxin Company, there are many fewer opportunities to pick up rags, because she has to take care of her granddaughter at home, but fortunately, she can now use the money earned by her son, indicating that her chatter has finally had a good result. Thinking that although the family property is gone, it is worth it to get back to the right path for his son, and the loss is greater. My son is still young, as long as he is willing to work hard, will his life be worse in the future?

A year later, Ma Shengli was promoted to squad leader in the company. This was suddenly appointed by his superiors when Ma Shengli was unprepared, and the specific reason was not because of how well Ma Shengli did his work, but because of Wu Youwei's strong support behind the scenes.

Once, Wu Youwei fooled around in his new home, and Xiao Lili somehow thought of Ma Shengli on a whim.

She asked Wu Youwei: "Is Ma Shengli still a doorman now?" ”

Wu Youwei said: "He has no culture, and he is incompetent, if he doesn't work as a doorman, what else can he do?" ”

Xiao Lili said: "We have begged the Ma family for such a big bargain, and you should still promote Ma Shengli when the time is right." ”

Wu Youwei nodded after hearing this, feeling that Xiao Lili's words were more reasonable, and he jokingly said to Xiao Lili: "I didn't expect your heart to be so good!" Xiao Lili said that her face was flushed.

When he arrived at the class the next day, Wu Youwei called Tao Renxian and asked him to find a way to get a small cadre to do for Ma Shengli.

Tao Renxian's expression was a little embarrassed, and he said to Wu Youwei with a bitter face: "Squad Leader Kong has done a good job, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to take it down like this." ”

Wu Youwei became angry when he heard this, and criticized Tao Renxian and said: "You are still the minister of human resources, why are you so unenlightened?" To promote Ma Shengli, do you have to take down the Kong squad leader? You promoted Squad Leader Kong and got an officer in the People's Armed Forces Security Department to do it for him, did he do it? When he's gone, won't the place be vacated? ”

When Tao Renxian heard this, he nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and said to Wu Youwei with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes!" Or Deputy General Manager Wu is thoughtful! He turned around with joy as if he had received a holy decree and went to do it.

Ma Shengli didn't know that Wu Youwei helped him get this squad leader, he only thought that he did a good job, and the leaders of the People's Armed Forces Security Department valued him and consciously wanted to cultivate himself.

Wu Youwei was unwilling to let Ma Shengli know from the bottom of his heart that he was helping him. Every time he enters and exits the company's door, he can always see Ma Shengli on duty, but Wu Youwei never lowers the window to greet him, he doesn't want to get too close to Ma Shengli, mainly because Ma Shengli knows too much about his past. In addition, he was also worried that the trap he had set at the beginning had leaked the filling. Since Ma Shengli entered Jiaxin Company to work, he also once doubted his original kindness, thinking about whether it was wise to let Ma Shengli come to work in the company, and he made a big mistake with a thought, which he did not want to see. For this reason, he has been consciously keeping a distance from Ma Shengli, even if the two of them occasionally meet somewhere, Wu Youwei rarely gives him a smile, his purpose is to let Ma Shengli know that in the company, he and he are not the same class of people, and it is best not to be too casual with each other.

In fact, as early as the first day Ma Shengli entered the company, he saw Wu Youwei's changes. At first, he didn't understand a little, before he entered the Schwab company, Wu Youwei was enthusiastic about selling his house, and he took the initiative to lend him money to repay his debts when the money was not enough. Why did he become cold and judge like two people after he entered Jiaxin Company? Later, Ma Shengli thought that he had figured out the truth: maybe Wu Youwei didn't want to let himself lean on the big tree; Maybe he owes Wu Youwei too much money, and people regret it, so it's normal to give a little face. If it's the first reason, Ma Shengli doesn't mind too much, it's a big deal to be a small worker for the rest of his life, save the cold ass of people with a hot face, and finally make himself bored; If it's because of debt, then there's nothing to be done, and with such a huge figure, it will definitely not be able to pay up in ten or eight years with the current salary.

Although the squad leader's official is not big, he is also a cadre in size, and if he is a cadre, he will suffer less wrongs, and his salary will be higher than that of his subordinates, which is clear in Ma Shengli's heart. The squad leader is the backbone of the class, which means that in the future work, he must take the lead everywhere, establish his prestige at all times, and not let his subordinates look down on him. Ma Shengli knows the big men in the guard class, and knows that they are not good at stubble, especially those who open their mouths and lose one thing after another, and if your words and deeds are negotiable, they will make fun of you unceremoniously. When I think about it, I can still mingle with the big guys most of the time, but after every party to eat and drink, I am a little detached from the masses on the very entertaining issue of gambling, which I must pay enough attention to in my future work.

Finding an excuse to gamble, Ma Shengli's life became full of expectations and fulfillment. At the beginning, he gambled with the extra money he earned, continued to win the money, and left after losing all of it; Later, when he had a big appetite and wanted to come back after losing the money, he started the idea of salary, so the money handed over to his mother in January was less than in January. When his mother asked him why his salary was getting less and less, he moved out of the pretext he had thought of in advance, saying that there were many people in the unit and he was courteous. When his mother heard this, she no longer doubted it, thinking that her son was a person from a unit, and it was a normal exchange between colleagues to give courtesy, so she couldn't let her son break off relations with people in the unit in order to save money, right?

In the first two months of the ring, Ma Shengli could still win and lose at the poker table, and then basically lost nine out of ten bets. The reason for this should be attributed to Ma Sheng's gamble. Ma Shengli's gambling is very good, and there is no fancy intestines; When the cards come, they are also more focused, and only use the cards to decide whether they win or lose. In his mind, gambling is a kind of pure luck, winning money if the hand is good, and losing money if the hand is bad. As for stealing cards, hiding cards, and playing tricks, Ma Shengli will not do it, and he will not do it. There is also a way to gamble, everyone is a colleague, and that is not only dishonest, but also hurts the class feelings between brothers.

Ma Shengli thought so, and his subordinates did not agree with him in thought. In the guard class, Ma Shengli is the latest one, and the other brothers have years in the cooperation of card skills, just like the pistons and cylinders in the car engine that have long passed the run-in period, and the movement is as smooth as flowing water. Everyone has their favorite poker buddies, as long as they sit at the table, touch their legs under the belly of the table, or raise a finger when holding a card, the person sitting opposite can understand what cards the other party wants to play. At work, the big guys are called "Ma Ban" and "Ma Ban" quite kindly, only the horse is the head of the victory, and the action is also absolute support and cooperation; At the poker table, these brothers are not very authentic, and they calculate their squad leader everywhere, just because he is a later, and the horse squad leader is too sincere. If you think about it, you can understand that the salary is too low, and if the brothers don't learn to calculate, they will be calculated by other brothers, and they can still drop a ball if they lose the money! After all, you come to work in the company to earn money, and only by putting money in your own pocket is the most real.

Ma Shengli, as a squad leader, usually loses money, in addition to lamenting in his heart that his luck is not as good as others, it also makes him feel very faceless in front of his subordinates, especially when the nickname "Ma Shu (Lose) Ji" was called, he felt that his situation was even more embarrassing. In the guard class, there is a popular saying: If you have difficulties, find a horse book (lose); Lack of money, and still looking for a horse book (losing) record. Ma Shengli was very angry when he heard it, but there were bitter words on his lips, thinking that my Ma Shengli was also a person who had lost a lot of money, and he was actually ridiculed and ridiculed by these guys when he lost these few small money, and what was even more annoying was that these guys were still his subordinates, thinking that he was really unwilling, and felt that it was necessary to take positive measures to redeem this bad influence.

It's one thing to have an idea, it's another thing to be able to put an idea into action. At the gambling table, there has never been a good thing for the white wolf with empty gloves, and the brothers have always been villains and then gentlemen, and they must put the money in their pockets on the table to open the cards. There is no money on the table, and it doesn't matter if there is an empty title of squad leader, whoever has an empty pocket, and today's gamble will end here, and come back next time when you have money. Ma Shengli must ensure that at least half of his monthly salary is handed over to his mother, which is an ironclad rule, otherwise the family may be in danger of not being able to open the pot, because the northwest wind cannot be eaten; After Ma Shengli became the squad leader, although he had the power to slaughter extra money, he could privately score more points each time, but when it came to the poker table, it was only a drop in the bucket, not enough to play.

Ah! What should I do if I can't get the gambling money? Ma Shengli thought about it and decided to use the old rules - borrow! Take a man's spear and poke a man's horse, don't you be able to win the money of my horse's victory, and I will borrow it from you again and use it to win your money, which is called borrowing a chicken to lay eggs. Yes, that's it! In the guard class, Ma Shengli still has this little face, when he first borrowed money, his brothers behaved very generously, as long as the horse squad leader opened his mouth to borrow, his sycophants all fought to hand over the money. Because everyone has an account in their hearts, it is not wrong to have a good relationship with the squad leader, and they can usually bargain for cheapness, not to mention, at the end of the year, there are advanced places in the class, and the squad leader can also think of himself.

Wishes are always good, but the results are not always satisfactory. Ma Shengli borrowed money for gambling money, thinking that he was borrowing someone's gun and poking someone's horse, but other people's horses didn't poke, and the borrowed guns were confiscated again and again. After a year or two, Ma Shengli became heavily in debt again, and sometimes he didn't even have the courage to borrow money from his brothers.

The roof leak was rainy, and the boat was in the first wind. Wu Youwei's 60,000 yuan loan has not been repaid, and he owes a lot of debts to the brothers in the guard class, Ma Shengli's mood in those days can be imagined. What gave him a headache was that a big creditor like Wu Youwei did not come to collect the debt, and the thousands of dollars owed to his brothers were often hummed in his ear, which made him very unhappy.

If you are unhappy, you still have to find a way to pay it back. As the saying goes, it is easy to borrow and repay, and it is not difficult to borrow again. Honesty is the foundation of the foothold, since the people under you open their mouths to collect debts, no matter whether they are really in trouble or not, as a leader, they will always be unable to pay back the money; Besides, how can you carry out your own work in the future? During those days, the most calculated thing in Ma Shengli's mind was how to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and get money as soon as possible to plug the hole. However, money is not always so easy to get, when borrowing money at the beginning, the brothers were more righteous, and Ma Shengli also kept his promises, saying when he would pay it back. Later, the hole was bigger, and the more money was borrowed, and the result was that the greater the greed, the more fierce the borrowing; The harder you borrow, the faster you lose. When the day came to repay the money, the brothers began to doubt his ability to repay, and they found all kinds of excuses for refusing to lend him money.

If you can't borrow money, you can't pay off your gambling debts, and the only shortcut to paying them off is to keep making money off the tables. Ma Shengli doesn't believe that guarding the huge Jiaxin Company will live forever with debts, in that case, won't he become a realistic version of Yang Bailao? It has long been rumored that there are often people selling illicit salt around Schwab, where does this illicit salt come from? It's certainly not from the sales company's channel, and Schwab doesn't take that risk. Since it didn't go out through a serious channel, it must have been stolen. According to reliable grapevines, tens of thousands of tons of salt products are lost every year due to theft, so why haven't the brothers in the guard squad grabbed a decent salt rat so far? People have no windfall and no wealth, horses have no night grass and no fat, hehehe! A good "horse" has no night grass and no fertilizer, maybe this pot of gold has been waiting for my horse to dig it victorious! If God is open and my horse's luck is good enough, let me catch this big mouse, and get some night grass to fill my huge shortfall.

With this in mind, Ma Shengli began to pay attention to the situation around the salt warehouse of the salt production branch. The salt production branch has three warehouses, two indoor warehouses and one open-air warehouse.

The doors and windows of the indoor warehouse are all steel structures, the management is relatively strict on weekdays, the windows have long been welded dead, among the three gates, two are guarded by the iron general, and the remaining one is difficult for outsiders to enter except for the workers of the packaging workshop who work in three shifts. The open-air warehouse is located in the northwest corner of the packaging workshop of the salt branch, with a simple cement floor and an area of more than 1,000 square meters, but salt products are usually not stacked here, and only temporary stacking points are used when the company's salt sales are not smooth.

The open-air warehouse is more than fifty steps away from the company's fence, and beyond the wall is the village. Ma Shengli checked the terrain along the inside of the wall, and found that the surrounding terrain was flat, and there was no place to put his feet on the wall, and the height of the wall was three meters away, and it seemed impossible for ordinary people to lift a bag of salt from the wall with a bag of 100 catties. But Ma Shengli thought about it and felt that it was impossible for thieves to pour out the salt through other means except for the open warehouse. Think that only a fool would carry a salt bag and find a way out, what is the difference between doing that and covering your ears and stealing the bell? The open-air warehouse is surrounded by natural barriers, with the company's fence on both sides, the high wall of the indoor warehouse on one side, and the salt trestle on the other side, which can be said to be a dead end for monitoring. During the day, there were people working here, and it is estimated that the thieves did not have the courage to do so, but at night it was different, except for the brothers of the guard squad who patrolled every two hours, and no one else would come here. And two hours is enough time to do a lot of things.

Regardless of the expected thieves, Ma Shengli still decided to sacrifice a few nights of rest to wait in the open warehouse.

Of course, everything is done in secret.

After Ma Shengli became the squad leader, he no longer participated in the duty of the company's north and south gates, and was usually mainly responsible for patrolling and patrolling.

This time he decided to stay in the open warehouse, and he didn't tell anyone in the class. In order to find the best observation position, he deliberately climbed to the neatly stacked salt pile during the day to inspect, he chose the highest stacked salt pile to climb up, pulled out three bags of salt from the center of the salt pile, and then lay down in the vacant position, feeling that his body was exactly level with the salt bags on all sides. He looked up and around, and saw that it was a good idea, he could see every corner on all sides, and it was not easy for the people around him to spot him. At night, Ma Shengli carried a white towel quilt between them, avoided everyone's eyes as much as possible, and quietly ambushed into the pre-prepared position.

A night passed without any movement.

Five nights passed, and there was still no movement.

On the ninth night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the four fields were silent. In his confusion, Ma Shengli seemed to hear the sound of hurried and heavy footsteps. His heart was startled at first, and he quietly poked his head out of the salt heap, and through the hazy night, Ma Shengli saw a white shadow moving. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and when he was sure he could see what was happening in front of him, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ma Shengli knew that his opportunity to make a fortune had finally come. (To be continued.) )
