Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 96
"Thank you all parents for your generous donations. This time, a total donation of 430 yuan was received."

"We will hire someone to repair the outer wall and the toys in the outer yard as soon as possible. Parents, please rest assured."

Finally, Zhang Cuilian tallied up the entire donation amount, glanced gratefully at the parents in the audience and said.

Everyone looked at Chen Huajiang and others again. The total donation was more than 400, and their seven parents donated [-], reaching one-half of the amount.

You must know that there are more than 60 children in the entire kindergarten, which means more than 60 families.

Wu Lei's face was very ugly, as gloomy as the ice of Jiuyou, with the words "Keep away from strangers" written on his face.

Soon the parent meeting ended and everyone left one after another.

"Chen Huajiang, good, good."

"Let's wait and see."

Wu Lei walked over and looked at Chen Huajiang gnashing his teeth coldly, his eyes full of resentment.

After speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Huajiang to reply, and strode away without looking back.

"What the hell? If it weren't for Wu Min's power, he would be nothing!"

"Brother Chen, you have to be careful. Wu Lei is a shady person. I'm afraid he will retaliate against you in the future."

"Yes, Wu Lei is different from Wu De. He likes to trip up people behind his back."

He Song and others said one after another.

This donation was made in the name of seven people, but everyone knows that it was Chen Huajiang who really took the big prize.

After all, they each took one yuan, and just now they looked at each other, wondering if they had asked Chen Huajiang to make up some money.

For example, if each person added a few yuan, Wu Lei came up and made harsh words before he even opened his mouth.

"Thank you brothers for your reminders, I know that too."

Chen Huajiang nodded to them and smiled, then looked at his wife Lin Jiayin.

Lin Jiayin was chatting with a group of lesbians while watching Huanhuan playing with her playmates in the outer courtyard.

Lin Jiayin had a happy smile on her face. When word came out that seven people from Chen Huajiang had donated a total of [-] yuan, the lesbians around her suddenly changed their attitude.

Some colleagues who had not interacted with each other in the past were also licking their faces and fawning over her in front of her, even envious of their family's ability to make money.

You must know that these people did not have such words in their mouths before. Several times when she went to the toilet, she heard them talking behind her back, laughing at her husband for being fired from the factory.

Even when setting up a barbecue stall, these people laughed at me.

In the past, Lin Jiayin could only feel inferiority and pain among the crowd, as if her family was the source of ridicule.

But now, facing the licking smiling faces around her and listening to their flattery, Lin Jiayin felt inexplicably relieved.

"Brother Chen, how about each of us pay another four dollars?"

Suddenly, He Song looked at Chen Huajiang and said.

Following his words, Wang Dali and others also nodded.

Chen Huajiang finally came to his senses from his wife and smiled.

"We are all colleagues, brothers. Saying such things would make you stand out."

"I'm also going to say something to my brothers, let's go, let's go over there, just to smoke a cigarette."

Chen Huajiang looked at them and said with a smile, he took out a cigarette and prepared to distribute one to everyone.

But this is the courtyard of a kindergarten, and there are many children, so it is naturally not a suitable place for smoking.

Soon the seven of them went around in a circle and walked into the woods. Only then did Chen Huajiang give out cigarettes to everyone, lighting them up and puffing on each other.

I have to say that the environment and configuration in the factory are really strong these days. The factory belongs to everyone, and everyone has a sense of ownership.

Take this small bamboo forest, for example, which is more than an acre. When Chen Huajiang was working in the factory, he would often come over to clean it and help prune the branches.

The reason why he came here to clean up was because of his original thinking, which made him feel that the factory was his home, at least a second home.

Otherwise, in future generations, who will work in the factory for free during off-duty hours?

"Brother Chen, if you have anything to say, just say it. Brothers, listen."

After several puffs of cigarettes, He Song saw that Chen Huajiang hadn't opened his mouth yet, so he urged him anxiously.

Everyone also nodded and looked at Chen Huajiang.

"The factory may be in ruins."

Chen Huajiang shocked the six people as soon as he opened his mouth, and then they shook their heads instinctively.

"Brother Chen, please don't talk nonsense."

"That's not right. The factory's performance has been poor recently, but it will get better in the future."

"No, it's just that we are deprived of one month's salary. It's not like we won't be paid. We will definitely be paid next month. Aren't all their old employees and female employees paid?"

Then He Song and others spoke one after another, refuting Chen Huajiang's words.

Chen Huajiang took a deep breath of cigarettes, but he was also considering what to say next.

At present, everyone has a strong sense of trust and belonging to the factory. Even in the early stages of layoffs, many people even think that the factory can be revived.

"What I mean is that the factory's performance is not good, and it may last for a while, not a short period of time."

Seeing them like this, Chen Huajiang could only change his explanation.

He Song and others frowned slightly, glanced at each other, and then looked at Chen Huajiang with some confusion.

"Brother Chen, we believe this. What do you mean?"

This is indeed possible, after all, one month's salary has been delayed, which has never happened before.

"If you have any difficulties, you can come to me then. We are all brothers and should help each other."

"It's really not going to happen at that time. How can I, Chen Huajiang, let my brothers drink the Northwest Wind? At that time, I will support the brothers to start their own businesses and make money together."

"But I don't force it. You can just write it down."

Chen Huajiang said with a smile, took a puff of cigarette, threw away the remaining cigarette butts and stamped them out.

"Okay, if we really can't get rid of the pot then, I, He Song, will come to see you, Brother Chen."

"The same goes for me, Wang Dali."

"Same."

Several people said it one after another, but their expressions were different from each other.

He Song looked casual, Wang Dali nodded seriously, and Zhang Yu and others were perfunctory.

Ma Qiang and Zhang Heng, for example, did not speak, but nodded casually.

Chen Huajiang didn't force them, this was originally a temporary idea.

It was because of Wu Lei today that Chen Huajiang decided to take action against him!

Based on the memories of his previous life, Chen Huajiang knew that Wu Lei's weakness and the foundation of his fortune were the coal stove workshop.

As the Hongqi Factory encountered difficulties, the coal furnace workshop became more and more favored, and Wu Lei was promoted to workshop director by Wu Min.

From then on, he began to enrich himself more and more crazily. On the one hand, he raised the cost of the coal furnace in the factory, and on the other hand, he sold the coal furnace to his partners at a low price.

The most heinous thing was in the later period, the Wu family let the workers in the factory get their own workshops, and used the money from the factory to use the raw materials in the factory to produce the coal stoves in their own workshops.

In the end, Wu's workshop became the last straw that overwhelmed Hongqi Factory.

Since Wu Lei wants to play, Chen Huajiang doesn't mind playing with him.
