"Lao Cao, I heard that your nephew is setting up a stall at the gate of the steel mill."

At noon, in the third canteen of the steel mill, when Qi Jie's uncle Cao Shuanghe was eating, one of his co-workers came over with a lunch box and said a hot news.

Before Cao Shuanghe could speak, the old employees around him who were eating had a heated discussion.

"Isn't Lao Cao's nephew a child of Qi Yuanchao? How did he remember setting up a stall? ”

"You don't know that, do you? The kid was suspended from work yesterday and slapped the table with the workshop director. ”

"Ouch, then this kid is too undisciplined, and Qi Yuanchao doesn't care?"

"What's the matter? When the table was slapped, Qi Yuanchao was there. ”

"Alas, a coquette is like a murderer."

"Who's to say it's not, now it's spread in the factory...... Lao Cao, you don't know about this? ”

Cao Shuanghe worked as a furnace worker in the steelmaking workshop, which was a very dangerous and arduous job.

When you go to work, you have to wear a hat and mask, put on a full set of protective clothing, and then stand in front of the molten steel of more than 1,500 degrees to carry out various operations.

If you are not careful, you will die.

This is one of the most dangerous positions in steel mills.

However, correspondingly, the salary is very high, and at a time when the wages of workers are generally in their early 100s, the wages of furnace workers have reached about 500.

That's not even counting other subsidies.

Moreover, the furnace foreman has a relaxed working time, with two days off on the previous day, which is simply a dream job for those who are not afraid of the heat.

The words of the workers made Cao Erhe frown.

His family and the Qi family don't move around frequently, firstly, because everyone's working hours are different, and secondly, Cao Shuanghe's wife Xu Aifang once quarreled with Cao Guilan.

Although several years have passed, people will sit together to eat during the New Year's holidays.

But every time the two parties meet, they will choke a few words in a weird way.

He planned to go to Qi Jie's house after work to see what was going on, if it was really Qi Jie's willfulness, then he, who was an uncle, would have to take care of whatever he said.

The reputation of the older generation can't be ruined by that kid.

Cao Shuanghe has long been unaccustomed to the education method of Cao Guilan and his family, what should follow the wishes of the children, and what family should be democratic.

In Cao Shuanghe's opinion, it's a fart.

If the child is disobedient, just beat him.

Filial piety comes out under the stick, this is the wise saying left by the ancestors.

The workers are still discussing.

In and out of the words, they are laughing at the education method of Qi Yuanchao.

At the same time, he was also laughing at Qi Jie for not knowing how to cherish such a good job at a young age.

Don't look at the fact that it is easy to leave without pay now, and it will be difficult for him to come back later.

The station of the steel mill is a turnip and a pit, and if you want to come back to work and operate without gifts, then wait for the notice at home honestly.

At least half a year.

In these days, there are no mobile phones, and there is no TV in the cafeteria, and the only pleasure for everyone to eat is to talk about all kinds of gossip.

And Qi Jie is the central topic of conversation at every dinner table today.

The reason is simple.

Yesterday, I was suspended without pay, and today I came to the factory to set up a stall at the gate.

This situation makes every steel mill worker can't help but sigh.

Young.

Too young.

Just looking at some people who make a lot of money after taking a leave of absence without pay, I don't want to think that people do this because the work of the steel mill hinders making money, rather than making money after going through the formalities.

At this stage, blindly leaving the steel mill has only one end.

That is starvation.

Looking at the whole of Maishu, who can compare to the income of the tall steel mill workers?

Now the factory uniforms of the steel mill are more popular than suits, and it is basically impossible to wear the factory uniform to go on a blind date.

Even if there is, it is the man who looks down on the woman.

On the second floor of the department store at the end of the pedestrian street in Wuzhou City, Qi Jie's aunt Xu Aifang was sitting at the shoe counter and eating the boxed lunch she brought in the morning.

"Aifang, your nephew can't have a brain problem, right?"

"That's it, the iron rice bowl of the steel mill says don't want it, isn't there something wrong with it?"

“……”

Several salesmen chatted about Qi Jie's suspension of pay and leave of work.

Xu Aifang sighed:

"My nephew, don't look good, but I usually talk to his parents at home, and I've never seen this kind of uneducated child."

She took two bites of rice, so she said in embarrassment:

"But who made me feel soft-hearted as an aunt, wait until I get off work and go to his house to see what the situation is, his parents are not sensible, and they can't delay the child."

Although Guo Aifang looked distressed on the surface, she was already happy in her heart.

If she hadn't been able to leave early, she would have even wanted to go to Qi's house to mock Cao Guilan now.

Hmph, she gave birth to this son, and she lost all the face of the old Cao family.

This incident has almost become a joke among the people of Maizhou City today.

However, unlike the steel mill, the people in the city still don't know that Qi Jie has set up a stall at the gate of the factory today, otherwise the ridicule will be more serious.

They always felt that Qi Jie had given up on a good future.

Gave up a gilded stainless steel rice bowl.

But they didn't expect that Qi Jie, who thought that he had given up his good future, had a turnover of nearly three hundred at this time.

"294 pieces of 6, do you want to stop ordering it again?"

Wei Shengnan looked at Qi Jie and said.

She has been helping Qi Jie collect money in the morning.

At first, this big beauty was just a small favor out of sympathy, after all, Qi Jie was so busy at that time that he couldn't even bother to wipe his sweat.

But as she put it away, she began to feel shocked.

Because the money in the cash box is growing too fast.

There are still many people who come forward to buy it.

And the further back they go, the more they buy.

At first, I bought them one by one, but later I basically bought them a dozen at a time.

Li Dongfang and Li Dongming had to rush to help transport another batch of gluten before lunch.

Qi Jie originally planned to take a break at noon and invite these people who helped to have a meal by the way, but looking at the longer and longer queues, he finally gave up this plan.

- Who can't get along with the money delivered to their door?

But he can't go back, but there is no need for Wei Shengnan to stay here all the time.

So Qi Jie asked her to count the money and go back to rest.

After Wei Shengnan ordered, Qi Jie took out twenty yuan from it without saying a word and handed it over:

"Well, here's your salary this morning."

Wei Shengnan looked at Qi Jie with some surprise:

"What are you paying me for? I'm not helping you for money. ”

Qi Jie smiled and stuffed it into her hand:

"But labor has to be rewarded, take it, and I'll treat you to ice cream."

When Wei Shengnan took the money, he filled this big beauty with some baked gluten.

Yesterday I took ten yuan from someone, and I was talking about an advance payment, and now it's time to cash in.

In this way, Wei Shengnan held twenty yuan in one hand and baked gluten in the other, and walked into the No. 3 gate of the steel mill a little suddenly, and it took her a while before she came back to her senses:

"Hah, I can make money too?"

Wei Shengnan came to the management building in the steel mill in a happy mood.

It's a building, but it's actually a four-story building, not as tall as the dormitory building in the living area next door.

Walking down the stairs to the third floor, Wei Shengnan stood in front of the door of the deputy director's office, she raised her hand and knocked on the door, and a gentle voice immediately came from inside:

"Come in."

Wei Shengnan pushed the door in and saw Wei Mingming, who was immersed in writing a report.

Wei Mingliang is in his fifties, with gray hair and a pair of round-rimmed glasses, and he looks polite.

Seeing that it was his daughter who came in, Wei Mingliang continued to bow his head and write.

But within a minute, he raised his head again:

"What smells so good?"

Only then did he notice the gluten in Wei Shengnan's hand.

"New snacks on the street?"

Wei Shengnan smiled and handed him a string:

"Try it, this is made by my classmates, and it tastes super good."

Wei Mingliang took it and tasted it, and then said:

"Hey, it's really good, it's better than barbecue...... Where have you been in the morning? You're not going to go to the finance department to talk to those little girls again, are you? Let me tell you Nan Nan, don't go to the finance department often, after all, my identity is here, and you will often be gossiped about. ”

Wei Shengnan finished eating one, threw the bamboo stick into the trash can, and said proudly:

"I didn't go, I earned my money."

After speaking, she slapped the twenty yuan in her hand on the table:

"Look, this is the money I earned this morning, and I made twenty in half a morning, isn't it?"

Wei Mingliang was a little surprised:

"Who gave you the money? What did you do? ”

Now the steel mill is in transition, and Wei Mingming is in a high position, and now he is responsible for the installation and commissioning of the country's first 90-ton ultra-high power electric furnace.

He was afraid that those people would hit Wei Shengnan with their ideas, so he couldn't help but raise his voice.

"I helped my classmate collect money for a morning, this is the hard money he gave me, it's not what you think."

Wei Shengnan told Qi Jie about setting up a stall to sell gluten.

These are all things she heard when she collected money, what was forced by Liu Hongwei to leave her job without pay, what cheeky credit supply and marketing cooperatives seasonings and raw materials, and so on.

He also talked about the fact that the deputy chief of the security section wanted to smash the stall.

"It almost hit me, I was terrified......"

Wei Mingliang looked at the coins on the table, and was a little suspicious of Qi Jie's purpose:

"According to what you said, it's just over two hours, and I actually give you twenty or ten dollars an hour, which is a lot higher than mine...... Can he make twenty in a morning? ”

"Why not?"

Wei Shengnan took out another piece of baked gluten and said while eating:

"He made a lot of money, he earned two hundred and ninety-four yuan this morning, and there were many people queuing up when I came, and now it must be more than three hundred."

Wei Mingliang looked at his daughter:

"Are you sure?"

I earned nearly three hundred in one morning.

It's higher than the average worker's two-month salary, and the speed of making money is too scary, right?
