Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 216 I'm Tired Because I'm the Leader!
"Huh? Why are you here?"

Seeing Jin Xiuying's surprised face, Cao Zhiqiang said wearily, "Why, can't I come?"

"No, it's just, uh..." Jin Xiuying frowned, "Didn't you say that you were very busy recently, so you didn't have time to come?"

Cao Zhiqiang nodded, and walked into the house on his own, while softly saying: "Yes, I have been busy for a while, so I came here to rest, why, you are not welcome?"

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang went directly to the sofa, sat down on his buttocks, and lay down comfortably on Ge You.

"Ah, it's comfortable!" Cao Zhiqiang moaned comfortably while Ge You was lying down.

Jin Xiuying had already closed the door at this time, she came to Cao Zhiqiang with her hands in her pockets and said, "Why, are you tired?"

"Yeah, not ordinary tired." Cao Zhiqiang who was lying on Ge You casually unbuttoned his collar and loosened his collar.

"Aren't you already a leader?" Kim Soo-young asked puzzled, "What's so tiring about being a leader?"

"It's because I'm the leader that I'm so tired!"

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang directly closed his eyes and said: "When a leader, especially a leader in the entrepreneurial stage, you have to do everything yourself, work hard, tired, too tired, so fucking tired!"

Cao Zhiqiang's words are not words against his will, but a true portrayal.

Because today is really tiring for him.

He read the novel all morning and recorded the audio all morning. When it was close to noon, he had to receive the sudden visit of his sister's family and Qinghong's mother.

After accepting the repeated interrogation of her sister and Qinghong's mother, she will be with Qinghong again at noon, and accompany her sister and Qinghong's mother to eat carefully.

If these conditions are just mental fatigue and mental fatigue, then the situation after lunch is physical fatigue.

After lunch, Cao Zhiqiang took the leftovers to the Xinhua Bookstore on Wangfujing Street for a routine inspection.

As a result, he found many problems.

The essence of these many problems is that the two books he released were too popular, and his publishing team was too young and inexperienced.

Although Cao Zhiqiang discovered the problem in time, and introduced the purchase restriction policy and the new wholesale policy in time, new problems still appeared.

The new problem is that the employees of Xinhua Bookstore are too lazy to work.

You know, as early as this morning, the book "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" was sold out at the Xinhua Bookstore in Wangfujing.

Originally, such a thing as being sold out was a normal situation in Xinhua Bookstore, but the group of uncles and aunts outside who had been queuing for a whole morning but had no harvest stopped doing it and started making a fuss.

Ever since, in order to avoid problems, the people at Xinhua Bookstore first called the police to help maintain order, and at the same time made an exception to mobilize employees to ask the logistics staff to replenish the stock immediately.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, he came to this bookstore while the other party was replenishing goods.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang thought that as soon as his own purchase restriction policy came out, plus [-] sets of new products were put on the shelves, the situation here would definitely be settled.

But who knows, an accident happened to the staff of Xinhua Bookstore who went to replenish the stock.

It turned out that the driver of the Xinhua Bookstore drank alcohol at noon.

It didn't matter at first, after all, under normal circumstances, the truck drivers of Xinhua Bookstore were out of work in the afternoon, and they all worked in the morning.

So it's perfectly normal to drink a little wine at noon, and they are all used to it.

But because of the special situation this time, the leaders of Xinhua Bookstore issued an order requiring them to restock, so even if they were unwilling, they had to carry it out.

Then, the drunk driver accidentally had a traffic accident while driving to pick up goods, and hit a utility pole on the side of the road.

Fortunately, the driver braked in time, and no one was injured, except that the front of the truck was slightly damaged and a headlight was damaged.

That's all, the key point is that these people had a car accident, and they didn't report it in time. Instead, they were afraid of taking responsibility and ran away directly.

Although it was [-], the traffic law in our country still does not allow drunk driving.

For example, alcohol testers have already appeared in the capital during this period, but they are not yet common.

But that's not the problem. The real problem is that the traffic police's punishment for drunk driving is too light.

During this period, although drinking and driving is not allowed, as long as it is not detected and no accidents occur, then there is no problem.

If it is found by the traffic police, as long as there is no accident, it will be fined up to 20 yuan, and then write an inspection.

What point deduction, license revoked, none of them!
Because the punishment is too light, drunk driving, although not common in the capital at this time, is absolutely common, as long as nothing happens, it doesn't matter.

Especially if you know someone from the traffic police team, you may not even be fined, and if you are caught, you will pass a cigarette.

However, once drunk driving has an accident, such as killing someone, injuring someone, or hitting a power pole on the side of the road, it becomes a big problem.

Usually when this happens, the driver's license is usually revoked first, and penalties are imposed according to the severity of the circumstances.

Hitting and killing people is the most serious, followed by hurting people, and hitting public goods is the lightest.

For example, bumping into a telephone pole is considered damaging public goods. If you are caught, you will be fined a lot of money, and the company, that is, Xinhua Bookstore will never pay this money.

Once the driver has an accident, unless you have a great relationship, the unit will not only not issue a fine, but may even take the opportunity to fire the driver.

It means that once you get into a car accident while driving under the influence of alcohol, and you are caught by the police, you will lose your driver's license and lose your job as a result.

In other words, during this period, hit-and-run drivers are commonplace.

Generally speaking, as long as no one is killed or injured, and no criminal case is filed, the driver will run away immediately.

(Author's note: This is not the author's nonsense, the fact is true. If you are a post-80s generation who doesn't know the situation back then, you can search for the video "How drivers were punished for drunk driving in the [-]s" and you will know the punishment for drunk driving back then how light.)
Just kidding, these days, being a truck driver is a fat job. If your driver's license is revoked because of a traffic accident, it would be like losing your job.

Especially the driver of Xinhua Bookstore, that is the iron rice bowl in the iron rice bowl, and the treatment is extremely good.

Most people are reluctant to lose their jobs.

So, after the truck driver hit the utility pole, he drove away immediately, and then went to the repair shop to fix the car.

But in this way, they will not be able to continue to pull goods and come back to replenish them.

As a result, Liu Donghai, the person in charge of the bookstore, waited and waited until 02:30 in the afternoon, and the driver who came to replenish the goods still did not bring the goods.

With no other choice, Liu Donghai could only keep calling the printing office of Hongguang Machinery Factory, but no one answered the calls several times.

When the phone calls failed many times, Liu Donghai simply got on his bicycle and went to the printing office of Hongguang Machinery Factory in person.

After I went there, I found that the office and the warehouse door of the printing house were locked, and there was no one there, except for an old man who watched the door.

I asked the uncle who was watching the gate again, but was told that since noon, no one had been here at all, let alone the vehicles that came to deliver the goods.

As for the staff in the printing office, they all went home together after eating in the cafeteria at noon.

This startled Liu Donghai, and quickly called the branches of Xinhua Bookstore, trying to contact Cao Zhiqiang and report the situation on his side.

Because at that time, Cao Zhiqiang was indeed no longer in Wangfujing Bookstore, but had taken Shen Zhenhua to inspect other bookstores early on.

After inspection, Cao Zhiqiang found that other bookstores were also popular.

It's just because the flow of people in other bookstores is not high, so there will not be a long queue like Wangfujing Bookstore, but they are basically sold out that morning.

In fact, the long queue at Wangfujing Bookstore is also related to the early sell-out of other bookstores.

The common people at this time were still very simple. Once they couldn’t buy a book in the bookstore near their house and found out that the book was sold out, they usually would not curse, but went to a larger bookstore to buy it.

That is to say, for the small Xinhua Bookstore, the common people have a high tolerance. Even if your service attitude is not good, the book you want to buy will be sold out soon, and everyone will not complain, but consciously go to the big store to buy. .

It is precisely because the other branches of Xinhua Bookstore have sold out the set of "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" early on, so those who couldn't buy the book all went to Wangfujing Bookstore to queue up to buy.

Because in this era, the Xinhua Bookstore in Wangfujing is the largest bookstore in the capital, not one of them.

Its status is similar to that of the Beiping Department Store at this time.

Therefore, ordinary people will not complain that books cannot be bought in other small Xinhua bookstores.

This is the same as if you can't buy cigarettes at the canteen and say they are sold out, you won't blame the owner of the canteen.

But if you can't buy it at the Xinhua Bookstore here in Wangfujing, there will definitely be complaints.

After all, psychological expectations are different.

Because in the hearts of the old capital people, if you can't buy a book in other branches of Xinhua Bookstore, you won't complain about others.

But if you can't buy it in Wangfujing Bookstore, which is known as the first store of Xinhua Bookstore, then you are negligent!
This is also the reason why Cao Zhiqiang went to Wangfujing Bookstore as the first stop.

But no matter what, after the books in other branches were sold out, the people in Xinhua Bookstore could ignore them, but the person in charge assigned by Cao Zhiqiang was also indifferent, which made Cao Zhiqiang very angry.

Ever since, when Cao Zhiqiang inspected the sales of other branches, it was actually a training trip.

But when Cao Zhiqiang was in a branch of Xinhua Bookstore, cursing and cursing, Liu Donghai called suddenly, explaining that Wangfujing Bookstore hadn't replenished the stock yet, and the crowd had already started clamoring.

This frightened Cao Zhiqiang, so he went back to Wangfujing Bookstore immediately.

By the time Cao Zhiqiang returned to Wangfujing Bookstore, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

After finding out that the driver who replenished the goods hadn't come yet, and he couldn't get in touch with the driver, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't care less about anything else.

Immediately, Cao Zhiqiang called his natal family, Director Li of Hongguang Machinery Factory, and asked him to help.

The so-called help mainly refers to enabling Factory Manager Li to send him a truck to deliver the goods.

After all, that is one hundred thousand sets of books!

Because the materials used by Hongguang Publishing House are very sophisticated this time, a set of two books weighs more than three catties, or about 1.6 kilograms.

One hundred thousand sets, that is a full 160 tons in weight!

160 tons, relying on those little brothers Shen Zhenhua knew, using a rickshaw to pull goods, when will it be a head?

Of course, in fact, there is no need for [-] sets.

Because if it is just replenishment, and then use the policy of purchase restriction to deal with the crowd, in fact, almost [-] sets are enough.

But even if there are 48 sets, it still has to weigh [-] tons. How many people are needed to rely on human-powered tricycles and bicycles for a drop in the bucket.

This is not impossible, but in a hurry.

After all, the queuing crowd outside couldn't wait.

So we still have to ask the factory to send a big truck to transport it, so that we can deal with it in time.

After listening to the situation reported by Cao Zhiqiang, Factory Manager Li also attached great importance to it, and immediately sent ten old Jiefang vehicles to the warehouse to pull [-] sets of books by means of overloading, and then lined up a convoy for the Xinhua Bookstore in Wangfujing at one time. Shipped over.

This time, the convoy of pulling books deliberately did not go to the warehouse of Xinhua Bookstore to unload. Instead, under the instruction of Cao Zhiqiang, they drove directly to the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore, where the crowds lined up.

After the convoy arrived at the station, Cao Zhiqiang, the general manager, took the lead and asked to directly open the rear cover, and then the driver and the escorted security staff came to sell books on the spot.

That is to say, these books don’t need to be sold in the Xinhua Bookstore, they can be sold directly in the car, and everyone just queues up here to buy them.

Since there are ten large trucks, it is equivalent to ten more sales outlets, plus each person is limited to purchase one set, and the money is handed in and the book is handed in, so the speed will be faster.

But even so, due to the large number of people who came to buy books, plus ten large trucks selling books on the street, it became a spectacle, attracting more people to line up to buy books.

In this way, Cao Zhiqiang had to lead by example after he was busy, and was responsible for the hard work of moving and unloading the goods. He was very busy.

Even though Cao Zhiqiang's body has been optimized by the system, and his endurance and explosive power have been enhanced, he is still a human being after all, not a monster.

Continuous high-intensity work, finally at six o'clock in the afternoon, to deal with the crowd who came to buy books.

Of course, because each person is limited to one book and no repeated queuing is allowed, not all of the 4000 sets of books shipped by the machinery factory were sold out, and there were more than [-] books left.

The more than 4000 copies simply entered the warehouse of Xinhua Bookstore.

At that time, Xinhua Bookstore had already closed get off work, so people from Hongguang Machinery Factory helped to transport it in.

Afterwards, everyone was very tired, so the celebration banquet was skipped because they were really exhausted.

However, Cao Zhiqiang's private allowance is not a little bit less.

Today, anyone who came to help sell books, whether it was a truck driver, an escort from the security department, or a traffic policeman who helped maintain order, Cao Zhiqiang gave each person a bonus of [-] yuan, plus a set of "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes"!
Needless to say, this bonus made me envious of the employees of Xinhua Bookstore who stayed on duty.

But envy is envy, but no one is jealous.

Because in the previous truck book sale, the people from Xinhua Bookstore did not go to help, but just watched from the side.

On the contrary, the two traffic police comrades who came to maintain law and order were sweating profusely from their busy schedule.

Now people who help people get bonuses, and those who don't help don't get bonuses, which is reasonable.

However, this scene also made the person on duty to make up his mind. If it is still like this tomorrow, he will also go up to help, so that he can get a bonus of ten yuan.

Even if you don't have a ten-yuan bonus, it's fine to distribute a set of "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes".

This thing is so popular now, if you just go to the pigeon market and dump it, you can earn four or five yuan, which is a lot of money.

In short, Cao Zhiqiang was really exhausted today, and after a day of exhaustion, he really didn't want to go back to deal with his difficult sister and Qinghong's mother.

So I called and went back, saying that I was busy with work today and would not go back, and asked Qinghong to look at the arrangements.

But if he doesn't go back to Qinghong, where else can he go?
Cao Lili and Qiao Simei's residence is supposed to be their real home.

But since the female tutor named Xiang Dongfang moved here, Cao Zhiqiang is not suitable to go back.

Because once Cao Zhiqiang went back to live there, it would be so embarrassing to meet that female tutor named Xiang Dongfang.

You can also go back to the old courtyard house, which has actually been renovated.

It's just that there is no furniture there, and because of the repainting, he is afraid that the formaldehyde will exceed the standard.

Even if there is no problem of excessive formaldehyde, he doesn't want to live there.

After all, it wasn't his place alone, there were Sha Zhu's family, Xu Damao's family, Uncle San's family and so on.

He had had enough of being with these poultry people.

It was already tiring enough, but if he had to go there to deal with a group of birds, it would definitely not be the case unless he was seriously ill.

After much deliberation, Cao Zhiqiang finally thought of Jin Xiuying.

If you come to live here with Jin Xiuying, not to mention the cleanliness, at least there will be no troubles or embarrassments.

So, here he is.
