Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Are you an antique lover who is not proud of collecting valuable antiques but only appreciates their beauty?
This was the first time Wang Weidong saw him. He raised his head and looked at the old gentleman carefully.

The gray tunic collar and cuffs on his body were worn white, his elbows were patched, and the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose had a broken temple, which was wrapped with white tape.

He has a thin figure, protruding cheekbones, and sunken eyes. His whole person exudes the temperament of a poor scholar.

The income of junior high school teachers in these days is not high, no more than 40 yuan at most. Even so, this old man has to take money to the trust store every month to buy antiques.

Although they are some cheap antiques, they still cost a lot of money over the years.

Especially since he only truly appreciates antiques and buys them.

Wang Weidong deeply admires this.

There are countless antique collectors these days. Under the guise of appreciating antiques, they acquire and collect various valuable antiques, but in fact they are just doing it for profit.

Is there really any difference between a valuable antique vase from a thousand years ago and a century-old Daqing dealer?

Wang Weidong stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Liu Hongchang."

"The name Liu Hongchang seems familiar." The old man thought for a moment, but without understanding, he quickly stretched out his hand and held Wang Weidong's hand tightly: "Chen Xuanming, a teacher at the Junior High School of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill."

Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill Junior High School. What a coincidence.

Wang Weidong let go of his hand and asked with a smile: "Do you know an old teacher named Yan Bugui?"

"Old Yan, of course we know each other. I used to teach elementary school, and we worked as a team for several years." Chen Xuanming smiled and said, "Yan Bugui is a good person, but he just has a little calculation."

Because of the common acquaintances, Chen Xuanming's chat box also opened up.

"Back then, we were all young people. We entered school at the same time and worked in the same office. At the beginning, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't figure it out. Later, I finally understood. I put The ink in the pen in the drawer always disappears for no apparent reason."

"After I realized this, I didn't think it was Yan Bugui at first, because this guy always got off work with me every day and left the office at the same time. Instead, I suspected another old teacher in the office."

"It's just a little ink, and I didn't care."

"However, one day after I left the office, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten something in the office, so I returned to the office halfway."

"Guess what I saw?"

Chen Xuanming is indeed an old teacher, but he just said something serious and started to talk like an old teacher.

Wang Weidong also cooperated and said: "Did you see Yan Bugui?"

"That's right! It's Yan Bugui." Chen Xuanming looked at Wang Weidong with admiration, as if seeing his best student, and said loudly: "Yan Bugui is hiding in the corner of the office, writing lesson plans quickly. At first, I just thought that he just forgot to write the lesson plan, so he came back after get off work.

But when Yan Bugui saw me, he seemed extremely panicked, like a thief who had been caught stealing.

It was then that I noticed that the pen in Yan Bugui's hand was the same one I put in the drawer. After thinking about the inexplicable loss of ink in my pen, I suddenly understood that it turned out that Yan Bugui had always Taking advantage of my free time after get off work, I used my pen to write lesson plans. "

Speaking of this, Chen Xuanming shook his head dumbfounded: "I thought it was very funny at the time. Yan Bugui is so cute. He could obviously steal a whole bottle of ink, but he didn't have the guts to do it just to take advantage of it." I’d rather hide in the office after get off work.”

"This is something Yan Bugui can do. He likes to take advantage, but he doesn't have the guts to do it secretly." Wang Weidong nodded in admiration.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps approaching from far away.

There was also a faint noise.

"Director Liu, you don't know that that little green-skinned guy is so hateful. He made a lot of noise when he entered our trust store and didn't care about the order of the store at all."

"If he is allowed to continue like this, what will our trust store become in the future? It will become a vegetable market and a grocery store!"

"As the deputy director of the subdistrict office, you can't just ignore such a thing!"

Director Liu nodded and said, "Liu Lanshan, you didn't fool me this time, did you?"

Director Liu was already preparing to get off work. After receiving the report from Liu Lanshan, he was originally unwilling to come.

It's not that he doesn't pay attention to Liu Lanshan. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Liu Lanshan is a distant relative of Director Liu. The reason why he was able to enter the trust store was because of Director Liu's help.

Of course, Director Liu also received a lot of favors and benefits.

It’s just that Director Liu knows Liu Lanshan too well. Ever since he became an employee of a trust store, this kid has felt that he has reached the pinnacle of his life and is one step ahead of others. Especially in trust stores, he always follows those who Customers quarreled.

Once they encounter a difficult situation, they will go to the sub-district office to ask him, the deputy director, to come forward.

Deputy Director Liu felt that this had some bad effects, but due to the kindness of his relatives and the fact that Liu Lanshan was very practical.

So I had no choice but to bite the bullet and come forward.

Besides, as the deputy director of the subdistrict office, he is the second-in-command of the neighborhood, so ordinary customers really don't have to worry.

After hearing the question, Liu Lanshan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly patted his chest and assured; "Director Liu, don't worry, I definitely didn't deceive you this time. That guy is so abominable. Not only did he not take our trust store seriously, , even the street office doesn’t like him.”

"The street office doesn't like him either, but I want to see who this person is!"

The anger in Deputy Director Liu's heart was ignited, he opened the curtain door and strode in.

When he saw Wang Weidong sitting on the chair with a stern look on his face, he frowned and said coldly: "Comrade, this is a trust store, not your own home. Please pay attention to your image. If you want to sit, you can sit at the door. outside."

Wang Weidong looked at Deputy Director Liu up and down, and instantly understood his identity. He smiled and said: "Comrade, your suggestion is very good, but you didn't realize that these chairs are originally used by the trust store for guests to rest. ?"

Deputy Director Liu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned to look to the side. Sure enough, he saw a row of chairs and tables next to them, which were obviously prepared for customers.

A good thief, Deputy Director Liu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I won't argue with you about this, but did you just cause trouble in the trust store?"

"Making trouble? If you regard a customer's formal purchase request as making trouble, you can call it that." Wang Weidong said calmly.

Deputy Director Liu was shocked again and his face turned red.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out.

After all, no matter how strict the rules of a trust store are, they cannot prohibit customers from purchasing goods.

He secretly winked at Liu Lanshan.After receiving the look, Liu Lanshan understood immediately, jumped out from behind, pointed at Wang Weidong and said: "Director, this is the guy who ignores discipline and makes trouble here! Take him to the street quickly and let him understand his mistake place."

Director Liu was immediately overjoyed and looked at Wang Weidong: "Did you hear that? Now someone accuses you of breaking the discipline of the trust store. What is your explanation?"

Wang Weidong glanced at him sideways and said coldly: "Director, before you draw any conclusions, you should find out the truth of the matter. What discipline did I violate?"

Director Liu turned to look at Liu Lanshan.

Liu Lanshan's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he hesitated: "We have already gotten off work, but he wants to buy something!"

"Well, it is indeed a violation of discipline to delay the employees' rest time." Director Liu nodded pretendingly.

Haha, it's really shameless.
Wang Weidong raised his wrist and pointed at the time: "Director, what time is it now?"

Director Liu's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he turned to look at the wall clock next to him. The time was exactly 05:30.

Now, Liu Lanshan's statement just now is completely untrue.

Director Liu glared at Liu Lanshan fiercely. Even if you are making up a reason, you should make up a decent reason. This kind of bad reason is just for anyone to manipulate!
Liu Lanshan drooped his head and remained silent.

Although Director Liu was angry, he still had to maintain his dignity. He could only grit his teeth and said: "The employees of the trust store can arrange their working hours freely, so if you violate the orders of the employees, you are causing trouble!"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Wang Weidong raised his hand and patted it gently: "It's really exciting. As expected of the chief director of Xinjiekou Street, he actually made up his own rules and regulations."

Wang Weidong's calmness made Director Liu feel guilty.

He stiffened his neck and said: "The rules and regulations of the trust store are formulated by our subdistrict office. Do you know more about them than me, the director of the subdistrict office?"

"I really don't understand, but someone does!" Wang Weidong turned and shouted outside: "Director Zhang, please come in and tell this chief director whether your Xinjiekou sub-district office has this rule."

Director Liu was shocked at first when he heard the name Director Zhang, but then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Director Zhang from the Xinjiekou Sub-district Office went to the Lanhua Automobile Factory to deliver temporary workers today. He was not at the Sub-district Office at all, so how could he be here!
This guy is really good at deceiving.

However, when he saw an old comrade with gray hair walking in with a stern face, his legs weakened and he almost fell to the ground.

Yes, that person is Director Zhang of the Xinjiekou Subdistrict Office.

"Zhang, Director Zhang, why are you here?" Director Liu was shocked and walked up quickly with a smile on his face.

"It's not a good thing you did!"

Director Zhang snorted coldly and turned to look at Wang Weidong: "Director Liu, our second batch of eight temporary workers in Xinjiekou have been sent to your automobile factory. I guarantee that these young guys are all capable. , we will definitely abide by the automobile factory's discipline and not cause you any trouble."

"Here comes Director Laozhang. I received feedback from the personnel department that your temporary workers are indeed good." Wang Weidong nodded lightly.

"I also want to thank you Lanhua Automobile Factory for giving me this opportunity."

"We at Orchid Automobile Factory have always upheld the belief of helping the masses."

The two were chatting here, but a thunder flashed and roared in Director Liu's mind.

Director Liu looked at Wang Weidong in disbelief. This ordinary-looking young man was actually the director of Lanhua Automobile Factory?

The name Lanhua Automobile Factory has appeared countless times in Xinjiekou Subdistrict Office.

The reason is simple. The expanded Lanhua Automobile Factory urgently needed more workers. At that time, the automobile factory had two options. One was to transfer skilled workers from other factories, and the other was to assign simple jobs to the poor in the capital. Temporary workers.

The first option is more worry-free. As long as the Lanhua Automobile Factory pays workers' wages, it can ensure normal production volume and product quality.

Those temporary workers are of mixed quality and have not received professional training, so they are actually not suitable.

But Wang Weidong chose the second option because he considered that there were many poor families in Beijing neighborhoods.

In the following time, Lanhua Automobile Factory contacted various neighborhoods in the capital.

Those neighborhoods were very enthusiastic after learning about the Orchid Automobile Plant's plan to recruit temporary workers.

As we all know, the wages and benefits of Lanhua Automobile Factory are among the best in the capital. Even temporary workers can get a monthly salary of 40 yuan.

40 yuan is considered a high salary in Beijing, enough to support a family and lift a family out of poverty.

Poverty alleviation is an important work indicator of the sub-district office.

Therefore, each sub-district office is striving to obtain more quotas for temporary workers.

Director Zhang spent a lot of effort to send eight temporary workers to Lanhua Automobile Factory, and hoped to send more temporary workers to the factory in the future.

He actually showed his authority in front of the director of Lanhua Automobile Factory.

The more Director Liu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his voice began to tremble: "Liu, Director Liu, why didn't you tell me your identity?"

"Identity?" Wang Weidong raised his head and looked at Director Liu calmly: "This leader, I am just a customer here. Do I have any other identities?"

"No, it's not. You know very well that if I had known that you were Liu Hongchang's factory, I would never have dared to do such a thing." Director Liu almost cried.

"Old Liu, shut up, you don't need to explain anymore!"

Director Zhang slapped the table, stood up and said coldly: "I have received reports from the masses a long time ago. As the director of the sub-district office, you blindly protect your relatives. It's just that you are busy handling the work of the sub-district office these days, so you don't take the time to do so." Hands come to talk to you.

You are becoming more and more arrogant now and dare to make your own rules. How brave you are! "

Director Liu heard this, his legs softened, and with a pop, he knelt on the ground, hugged Director Zhang's legs and said: "Old Zhang, you must not do this. I have worked in the street office for more than ten years, and I have been working hard all these years. Yes, please forgive me this time!"

Director Zhang looked at him with boredom and said coldly: "Old Liu, it seems you still haven't realized your mistake! Now go back to the subdistrict office immediately and write a letter of resignation!"

He turned to look at Wang Weidong again: "Director Liu, are you satisfied with this treatment?"

Wang Weidong smiled slightly and nodded.
