Chapter 95: Returning to Hometown, Now Is Not What It Used To Be
Xu Zhigao is a businessman, the first family to make a fortune by collecting waste products, and in his early twenties, he was already a well-known 10,000 yuan household in the county.
Later, in response to the national policy, he contributed money and efforts, and by mistake became the director of the canning factory in the northern suburbs.
Those days in Shishan County can be described as infinite scenery.
The good times did not last long, the struggle for power in the context of the great era was terrible, coupled with the exclusion of the Lu and Wei families, the young Xu Zhigao was strong-blooded, and was forcibly pulled down from the first position of the canning factory by Lu Zhenghua.
Lu Zhenghua once released cruel words.
As long as he is alive, Xu Zhigao will never be allowed to appear in front of him.
Whoever dares to make friends with Xu Zhigao is inseparable from his Lu family, which is like fire and water.
In this way, Xu Zhigao was like a flash in the pan in Shishan County, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
When he left Shishan County, he only took a ticket to Guangzhou and eight yuan with him.
After arriving in Guangzhou, he first went to work in a tannery as a small worker, and later with some savings, he began to try to start a small business.
Xu Zhigao had a brilliant brain, and soon discovered that leather shoes with artificial leather were very popular with the working class.
So he started a business selling leather shoes, and it took only two years to set up his own tannery.
As recently as last July, he was already sitting on millions of assets in Guangzhou.
But fate always seems to play tricks on him, and the "fake skin turmoil" soon swept the entire eastern region.
On TV, in newspapers, there was a lot of news about the bad effects of leather on the human body.
Sometimes people are very strange, knowing that some things are rumors and unscientific, but they still follow the wave and start to boycott, and even wear artificial leather as a shame, and they will be looked down upon by others.
The tannery went out of business.
Not only that, Xu Zhigao also owed hundreds of thousands of foreign debts in the process of struggling to support.
Creditors frequently came to the door, and after selling all his belongings, Xu Zhigao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ten years is like a dream, what was it like when I left Shishan County, and what it was like when I came back.
The clothes he was wearing, the backpack on his back, and a red train ticket.
The only difference is that he now only has three dollars left in his pocket.
Xu Zhigao looked up to the sky and sighed, the dazzling sunlight seemed to be mocking, making him unable to open his eyes.
Ten years ago, he fled Shishan County for Guangzhou.
Ten years later, he fled Guangzhou and returned to Shishan County.
The world is so big, he doesn't know where he should go.
"After so many years, I don't know if the cannery is still there."
Xu Zhigao shook his hand and threw the heavy mountaineering bag on his back, and strode towards the place with his back to the sun.
……
Tang people cold drink factory.
"Mr. Jiang, it's time to eat!"
Holding a steamed bun in his left hand, the pillar stood in the courtyard of the factory and shouted upstairs.
Jiang Yang quickly appeared in the corridor, looked at the pillar from the second floor and nodded: "Got it." ”
The workers came out of the factory happily, and there were people who talked and laughed in line to eat.
Today is another good meal, braised pork and sour and hot shredded potatoes.
Braised pork is all-you-can-eat, and steamed buns are unlimited.
Looking at the entire Shishan County, those who dare to arrange meals for employees like this are basically not found.
Jiang Yang took the lunch box and lined up behind the workers.
When Chen Yanli saw it, she hurriedly said, "Mr. Jiang, there is a special stove for you." ”
Jiang Yang waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll try the staff meal at noon today." ”
Every day, the kitchen will make a special table of meals for the management of the cold drink factory, and Jiang Yang plans to taste the big pot of rice with the workers.
The first is to change the taste, and the second is to see how the workers' food tastes.
Just then, a man in an old-fashioned suit and carrying a shabby hiking bag caught his eye at the door.
Jiang Yang looked over there through the door, the man looked about forty years old, he looked very gentle, his skin was fair, and the suit he was wearing was more than ten years old, although it was very badly worn, but it was very neat and clean.
"Looking for someone?"
Jiang Yang walked over and asked.
Xu Zhigao shook his head.
"Looking for a job?"
Jiang Yang asked again.
Xu Zhigao glanced at Jiang Yang and said, "This is a cold drink factory now?" ”
Jiang Yang smiled, pointed to the mountains of Tang people, and said, "Isn't it obvious enough?" ”
Xu Zhigao nodded, looked at the canteen and said, "This was originally a warehouse. ”
Jiang Yang glanced at Xu Zhigao, opened the door and said, "You are from the cannery, right?" Have you ordered your meal, why don't you come in and eat some? ”
The smell of braised pork reached the door, and Xu Zhigao licked his lips.
The tiring days and nights of travel made the destitute Xu Zhigao hungry and thirsty.
Xu Zhigao glanced at Jiang Yang and said, "I don't have any money." ”
Jiang Yang laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "We don't need money for the food in our factory, come on." ”
This time, Jiang Yang did not line up.
He took Xu Zhigao through the crowd and walked towards the canteen, and the employees consciously made way of a passage.
The inside of the cafeteria is very shady, and dozens of square tables and supporting benches are neatly arranged.
Jiang Yang asked the kitchen staff to bring a new set of tableware, and it was filled with braised pork and shredded potatoes, and it was also served with three white flour steamed buns.
Xu Zhigao put the mountaineering bag on the stool on the side, and was no longer polite at the moment, taking a bite of steamed buns and a mouthful of meat, and eating a mouthful of oil.
Jiang Yang swallowed saliva as he watched from the sidelines.
This man looks so gentle, and he eats meat without any ambiguity.
Many elderly workers looked at this side and muttered in a low voice: "Why is the person sitting with Mr. Jiang so familiar?" ”
Jiang Yang brought a bottle of new sparkling drink and put it in front of Xu Zhigao, and opened it for him with his own hands.
Xu Zhigao glanced at Jiang Yang gratefully, picked up the bottle and drank it all.
Then he hiccups with a full face full of enjoyment.
"This is produced by your factory?"
Jiang Yang nodded.
Xu Zhigao praised: "It's really good. ”
Jiang Yang was not very hungry at noon, so he simply ate two bites and put down his chopsticks.
Seeing that Xu Zhigao had finished eating, he got up and invited him to sit upstairs.
Xu Zhigao readily agreed.
On the second floor, Xu Zhigao looked at the office that was very different from the past, and said with emotion: "I used to stay in this room for six years. ”
Wang Li skillfully brewed the tea, and then twisted her graceful posture and brought over two cups of steaming Biluochun.
Xu Zhigao took the teacup and thanked him.
Chen Yanli came up from downstairs, took a shipping slip and said: "Mr. Jiang, Jia Quanyong wants to ask for more than 20,000 bottles of new products, but I don't dare to call the shots, so I came up and asked you." ”
Jiang Yang took the list and glanced at it and said, "Send out the original order first, and if there is still a surplus capacity, then arrange Jia Quanyong's." ”
Chen Yanli nodded and said, "I know Mr. Jiang." ”
When he was about to leave, he accidentally saw Xu Zhigao sitting on the side, and blurted out in surprise: "Xu ...... Director Xu? ”
Xu Zhigao put down the teacup and smiled slightly: "Long time no see, Xiao Chen." ”
