Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 271

After comforting Yu Deli, Cao Zhiqiang got off work on time, and asked his current exclusive driver Zhang Qianjin to continue driving the cool Citroen CX20, and took him straight to Cao Lili's residence.

When these two stylish hatchbacks came to Cao Lili's school, they immediately aroused the envy of some school children.

Although there are not many fashion concepts in China at this time, it does not hinder everyone's appreciation of beautiful things.

I have to say that the Citroen CX20 is indeed the most beautiful car in China at this time, not one of them.

Even if it is the crown, which has already appeared on the street, it is not as good as this Citroen CX20 hatchback of French origin in terms of its stylish appearance.

Moreover, this car is purely imported, and the domestic quantity is not large at this time.

The number of Citroen CX20s really began to increase. It was only in the middle of 20. After a large number of Citroen CX[-]s became taxis, they became a beautiful landscape. It also made the people of Beijing familiar with the Citroen brand for the first time. Of course, this is a story up.

However, although this Citroen CX20 car is very cool, it can only stop at the gate of the primary school, and cannot continue to drive in, because the gatekeeper does not allow it to enter.

This is also very normal. In schools of this era, ordinary outside vehicles cannot enter casually, and the management is also very strict.

But Cao Lili and the others live in the teacher's family courtyard, and they are all inside the school at this time. If they want to enter, they must go through the school gate.

The school also has a back door, but it is generally not open, it is a fire exit.

However, the gatekeeper didn't know whether he was angry or hated the rich. Anyway, his tone of voice was very bad. Not only did he not let him in, he also yelled at the driver Zhang Jinjin and sneered at him.

All of a sudden, Zhang Qianjin was annoyed, and he was about to get out of the car and beat him up.

"Okay, old Zhang, don't make trouble, just wait here." Cao Zhiqiang persuaded Zhang Qianjin in time.

"I'll bring him out, you stay well, don't conflict with his uncle, he is also responsible.

Don't get angry just because someone's temper is bad, it's not easy, you have to respect your elders. "

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Zhang Jinjin nodded resentfully, agreeing, but he still looked a little unkindly at the old man.

Seeing Zhang Jinjin like this, Cao Zhiqiang didn't say a word, but felt a little bit guilty in his heart.

Cao Zhiqiang knew that Zhang Qianjin was like this because he was angry with Niu Shufen before, and he still hasn't recovered.

However, it is also understandable. After all, people like Zhang Jinjin, although they had some money in their hands because of self-employment in the past, they have always been looked down upon and made things difficult in society, and they belong to the kind of people with very low social status.

The more this kind of person, the more sensitive he is. It is very likely that if you take a look at him, he will feel that you look down on him, and then fight with you.

Of course, this is also caused by various reasons, nothing more than background issues, education issues, and so on.

All in all, the self-employed in the early 80s, if they were rich, they were really rich. The so-called million-dollar households basically referred to this group.

But this group has no status, and even an ordinary street sweeper can look down on them.

Not to mention the uncle who looks at the gate.

The old man who guards the gate in this period is really not easy to mess with. He is completely different from the security guard who guards the gate in later generations. He has to be related to be a security guard.

As for the self-employed at this time, if they want to expand their business scope and earn more money, there are no more than two methods.

Or, there are local big shots covering him.

Or they don't know how to hire people, but establish a model similar to mutual cooperation, such as the wholesaler-retailer relationship between Li Youfu and Zhang Jinjin in the past, and they never admit that they are employment relationships.

The first situation is to find a big person to cover you. You must first have a big person willing to cover you. If there is no one, it is useless to say more.

As for the second situation, there is also a great risk, because it is sneaky in itself, and it will be troublesome once it is found out.

Of course, this is the period when self-employed people are not welcome.

If according to the normal situation, in another one or two years, after the private economy is liberalized and the wave of business for the whole people begins, they, the first batch of self-employed individuals who eat crabs, will be able to untie the shackles, feel proud, and become the first batch of private enterprises. Lord, write a new chapter.

But that's later.

At least for now, these first batch of self-employed people who went to sea are basically unemployed vagrants who have not been taken in by official units, and because of this, they are still in a state that is not recognized by most people.

If it weren't for this, Cao Zhiqiang wouldn't have recruited Li Youfu and Zhang Qianjin so easily, and let them willingly bring money to join, and he was also full of motivation and grateful.

For example, this Citroen CX20 hatchback is Li Youfu's favorite car.

He was usually reluctant to drive, but this time, in order to show his sincerity, he personally led the team to other places to develop a business, but he offered the car to Cao Zhiqiang and took Zhang Qianjin as the driver.

Zhang Qianjin is also willing to be Cao Zhiqiang's driver, because he feels that being a driver for Cao Zhiqiang is more face-saving than being a self-employed person.

As for making money, Zhang Qianjin will certainly not miss it.

After all, like Li Youfu, he was one of the first batch of "veterans" who went to Cao Zhiqiang, and he also joined with capital, and he was also the deputy director of the sales department.

According to the sharing ratio specified by Cao Zhiqiang before, Zhang Jinjin, the deputy director, can get a share of every kind of goods sold by the sales department.

Although Zhang Qianjin's share is very low, as long as the amount increases, the number is still considerable.

To some extent, Zhang Qianjin has become a kind of rentier class relying on Cao Zhiqiang's thigh.

That is to say, Zhang Jinjin doesn’t need to get up early in the morning to set up street stalls anymore. He only needs to serve Cao Zhiqiang well and secure his position as deputy director of the sales department of Hongguang Publishing House. According to the contract signed by Cao Zhiqiang himself, Zhang Qianjin can lie down. Earn money.

In terms of making money, Zhang Jinjin has no worries, so he needs a higher pursuit, that is friendship and respect.

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, Zhang Jinjin has now satisfied his physiological and safety needs, and what he needs next are social needs and respect needs.

If Zhang Qianjin is still the self-employed person in the past, then he can only hang out in that circle if he is desperate, and it is impossible to get a higher level of respect.

But following Cao Zhiqiang is different.

Cao Zhiqiang is now the president and general manager of a large publishing house, and he has just been appointed as the deputy director of the Third Industry Office of Hongguang Machinery Factory. He is responsible for managing all the third industries of the machinery factory.

Although Zhang Jinjin is actually just a contract worker at this time, and he doesn't even count as a worker, outsiders don't know.

Outsiders will only see that he is now Cao Zhiqiang's driver and belongs to a large unit like Hongguang Publishing House, so they will naturally think that Zhang Qianjin is also very good.

This is a typical fox pretending to be a tiger.

You know, in this era, a leading driver is not just a driver, it also means a confidant.

With this understanding, the promotion of status is not a star.

Back then, why was the stick so awesome?
Isn't it because he drives the department leader, is he the leader's driver?
As the leading driver, who would dare not give him a high look?
Even a big brother like Wei Dajun has to bow his head when he sees a stick, because he can't afford to provoke him.

For the same reason, Zhang Qianjin is now playing the banner of being the driver of the president of the publishing house, which is naturally completely different from his previous self-employed status.

Among other things, at least when his parents saw him, they were no longer shameless, and they could hold their heads high when they saw neighbors and so on. Many girls and daughters-in-law smiled when they saw him.

He has never experienced that feeling of being respected in his life, even when he was rich in the past.

Because of this, he was very grateful to Cao Zhiqiang, because it was the appearance of Cao Zhiqiang that changed his life and allowed him to become like a human being.

Therefore, once he saw that someone was unfavorable to Cao Zhiqiang, he subconsciously had the idea of ​​humiliating his ministers to death.

The reason why Zhang Jinjin had a conflict with Niu Shufen and was sprayed by Niu Shufen was actually because he was talking too much, and the reason why he was talking too much was subconsciously to defend Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang found out afterwards that if Cao Zhiqiang hadn't clashed with Niu Shufen immediately afterwards, and it soon appeared that Factory Director Li had served wine as a peacemaker, and that Niu Shufen lost her morals after drinking and broke her shoes, Zhang Qianjin actually wanted to secretly revenge on Niu Shufen.

According to Zhang Qianjin, he planned to follow Niu Shufen secretly in the middle of the night, and then stabbed him from behind when no one was around. The white knife went in and the red knife came out.

This made Cao Zhiqiang afraid for a while, thinking that this guy is also a ruthless person, and there is something wrong with his three views.

Of course, it was only later that Cao Zhiqiang learned that Zhang Jinjin's thoughts were really normal in this era, and it was not a problem with the three views.

On the contrary, it is Cao Zhiqiang who has problems with the Three Views. His ideas have actually stayed at the beginning of the 21st century, and he has never really penetrated into the market of this era.

What is the market spirit of this era?
It was really reckless.

Especially here in Beiping City, many people really dare to risk everything for a promise, or for a sense of loyalty!
Zhang Qianjin is like this, Li Youfu is like this, including Jin Xiuying, and even Sha Zhu, they are essentially influenced by this reckless culture.

This kind of bloody recklessness really disappeared, and it had to be after the deepening of reform and opening up, and everyone began to worship money, and then this kind of reckless culture gradually disappeared.

Therefore, some things may seem ridiculous to Cao Zhiqiang, but to people like Zhang Jinjin, they are very serious.

Just like Niu Shufen, she sprayed Zhang Qianjin in public and said it doesn't matter, Zhang Qianjin can bear it.

But Zhang Jinjin thought that if Niu Shufen didn't give Cao Zhiqiang face, it would mean that the master humiliated his officials to death, and then he would share the master's worries, with a white knife in and a red knife out.

This is completely two extremes with Zhang Qianjin's hip-pull performance in the security department of the machinery factory.

If Cao Zhiqiang hadn't known that it was all true, he would never have thought that these two manifestations would be concentrated on the same person.

It wasn't until later that Cao Zhiqiang asked Chen Jiabang that he got the real answer, knowing why Zhang Qianjin had two temperaments of recklessness and timidity.

To put it bluntly, this is just a kind of spiritual sustenance, or in other words, a special reckless culture in which loyalty comes first and scholars die for their confidants.

Just like Chen Jiabang, he is also this kind of person, but he is loyal to Director Li.

For Factory Manager Li, he can risk his life.

From this point of view, Secretary Chen Jiabang and Chen are actually reckless.

Specifically, this group of people look down on life and death and money, but they value loyalty very much.

But what is righteousness?
In fact, their own cognition is very vague.

Basically, whoever respects me, whoever treats me as a brother, or whoever treats me with great kindness, then I will show loyalty to them.

For this loyalty, you can throw your head and blood, and do it if you don't accept life and death.

Back then, when the little bastard made all kinds of troubles, most of them were not for himself or to make money, but to stand out for his so-called brothers.

Now these people have grown up, forced by life, and become honest, but the recklessness in their bones is still there, but they are suppressed.

Usually, they can be cowardly and humble, but once someone ignites the recklessness in their hearts, they can instantly become a different person.

At that time, they no longer cared about themselves, but cared about the so-called loyalty.

Obviously, Cao Zhiqiang's actions, as well as his style of treating others equally, won the approval of Zhang Qianjin and Li Youfu.

Li Youfu was fine, he didn't have much contact with Cao Zhiqiang, and he was more impressed by Cao Zhiqiang's wrist and pie.

Zhang Qianjin is different. He has been with Cao Zhiqiang for a long time, and he has experienced the change in identity brought about by being Cao Zhiqiang's driver.

And he is also the most obvious that Cao Zhiqiang has never looked down on him, and has never shouted at him.

He can see and experience this kind of deep-rooted respect, but he doesn't usually express it, and he doesn't have the opportunity to express his gratitude.

Therefore, Zhang Jinjin actually wanted to find an opportunity to prove his worth, or to repay Cao Zhiqiang for his kindness.

The Niu Shufen incident was originally an opportunity for Zhang Qianjin.

When he was slapped on the face by Niu Shufen, he felt ruthless in his heart, and wanted to fight with the other party.

It's a pity that Cao Zhiqiang's subsequent actions were too fast, making Zhang Qianjin lose this opportunity to repay his favor.

The most ridiculous thing is that he later told Cao Zhiqiang all about it, and said it triumphantly, thinking that Cao Zhiqiang would value him more.

As everyone knows, when he told the story, Cao Zhiqiang not only didn't value him, but was shocked.

What the hell is a lunatic, and he's no different than Jin Xiuying.

After all, Jin Xiuying was locked in a cage by herself, and was fooled by things like dreams.

But this Zhang Qianjin is different, he is a ticking time bomb.

Cao Zhiqiang wanted to change him again, but was afraid that if he changed him, he would get into trouble again after leaving him far away.

So after much deliberation, Cao Zhiqiang still decided to put him by his side, not for anything else, just to keep an eye on him and not to cause trouble for me.

At the same time, it was precisely because of Zhang Qianjin's situation that he was slightly shaken in his idea of ​​incorporating self-employed people.

He felt that if most of those self-employed people had this kind of temper at this time, they should be careful when they are incorporated in the future.

Don't miss out on the benefits, get yourself pissed off first.

"I'll emphasize it again!" Cao Zhiqiang, who was afraid of accidents, told Zhang Qianjin again.

"My sister lives there and goes to school there!
So don't make trouble for me, just stay in the car!

Especially don't make trouble for that old man. If he takes the initiative to trouble you, please bear with me. This is an order, did you hear me? "

"Understood." Zhang Qianjin smiled, "Don't worry, general manager, no, president, I will obey the command, I promise to give you face, and I promise not to beat him here!"

"What's here, it's not allowed in the future!" Cao Zhiqiang stared.

Zhang Jinjin frowned: "If he falls down by himself in the future, can't he blame me?"

"Don't be poor with me!" Cao Zhiqiang looked at the janitor, and whispered to Zhang Jinjin, "I don't know you yet, and I want to go back and beat you secretly again? I warn you, put away this idea as soon as possible, how old is it?" Something, what about it?"

"Hmph, who made him look down on people." Zhang Qianjin curled his lips.

"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang said, "They didn't deliberately target you, but they did it to everyone, so don't give money to yourself. Also, follow me from now on, keep your temper!
We will have different identities in the future, and we will do things differently, so don't just pick up a knife and carry a stick.

To learn to use the brain, use the brain to understand? "

Zhang Jinjin thought for a while: "Just like how you dealt with that stinky bitch Niu Shufen?"

Cao Zhiqiang lowered his face: "Don't talk nonsense! What do you call me to deal with it? It's her own fault!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Qianjin smiled, "It's your own fault, isn't it just your own fault, hehehe."

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "Anyway, you have to follow me, and when you encounter problems in the future, use your brain more and think twice!

We are now educated people, educated people should pay attention to their status when doing things, they can no longer beat and kill at every turn, they must understand the law and use it, and be a law-abiding citizen, understand? "

"I understand!" Zhang Qianjin nodded, "Don't worry, I promise not to conflict with the gatekeeper, I promise to be safe and sound, and be a law-abiding citizen, right?"

Cao Zhiqiang pointed at Zhang Qianjin again: "Remember what you said!"

Seeing Zhang Qianjin nodding again, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, got out of the car, and offered to give the gatekeeper an entry and exit certificate, plus five yuan.

With that voucher plus five yuan, the gatekeeper let Cao Zhiqiang in.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Qianjin pouted lightly, and squinted his eyes at the gatekeeper: "Old guy, it's cheap for you. My buddy is a person of status now, and I don't have the same knowledge as you! If it was in the past, hehe Hmph, I can't kill you!"
