Chapter 17 Job Opportunities
In Xiaotangshan, Wu Zu and Tang Zhitong were drinking and chatting.The wine is Red Star Erguotou, 61 degrees, 1.52 yuan/bottle, one pound per bottle (not 500ml).There are two dishes to go with the wine, one is fried peanuts and the other is cucumbers.

"Why did you give the credit to Mark Jian?" Wu Zuo clinked glasses with Tang Zhitong, took a sip, grinned, and asked with slight confusion after swallowing.

"Credit? That belongs to Brother Ma San." Tang Zhitong smiled and looked relaxed. The construction site has been completed. Logically speaking, the two of them have no superior or subordinate relationship.

"For his future?" Wu Zu didn't take it seriously. Being able to take Tang Zhitong to drink today showed that he regarded him as one of his own.

"Don't say it if you see it, it will make me so embarrassed." Tang Zhitong raised his glass with both hands and toasted Wu Zu, and drank it all in one go. He couldn't help but grin. The clear wine slid down the esophagus, and there was a burning sensation. He took a mouthful of cucumber and pressed the wine. Jin, neither admitting nor denying, "Ma Sange is my childhood friend and has taken good care of me since I was a child. As a person, you must know how to be grateful. Some things are dispensable to me, but it is different for him."

"You are lucky to have a boy like Ma Ke Jian, and Ma Ke Jian is lucky to have a brother like you." Wu Zui also killed him and said with emotion.

"A fence has three stakes, and a hero has three gangs. A single tree cannot make a forest, so who can do without the help of others?" Tang Zhitong picked up peanuts and handed them to his mouth. Now there are still peanuts on the dinner table. Wait a moment. In two years there will be an order from the top to prohibit the serving of peanuts in receptions. Well, I don’t have much staple food in my warehouse, but the non-staple food is enough for the family to eat for seven or eight years.

"Follow me next." Wu Zu took the initiative to fill Tang Zhitong's glass and solicited.

"Thank you to the Wu Group for your kindness. It's not that I don't want to, but I really have difficulties and dare not accept it." Tang Zhitong was quite moved. He stood up and drank the wine in the glass. His face was red, he burped from the wine, and explained sincerely: "I My father just passed away not long ago. I now have a frail mother to support and two younger sisters who are studying. You also know what happened a while ago. If I do it with you, I will have less chance to go home. I don’t worry about my family.”

"It's a pity." Wu Zu reached out and patted him a few times. He felt a little regretful, but he also admired Tang Zhitong's kindness and righteousness. "Sit down and talk."

"It's no pity." Tang Zhitong sat down and poured himself another glass. He was slightly tipsy but his eyes were clear, and he said sincerely: "You know how to be wise, and I know how much I weigh. This time I dare to meet you. Yes, it was only by chance that we got such a result. If we do it again, it might not be the same."

"You, you, you are sincere." Wu Zu laughed, stretched out his hand and tapped Tang Zhitong twice.

"A person who originally had no merit, let you say this, hey, he has merit." Tang Zhitong joked, not at all upset about losing this opportunity. The nature of the units is different. Following the Wu Group may have a bright future, but there is no freedom. In other words, I may not even be able to handle things in the warehouse, so I don’t want this position.

"You talkative." Wu Zu laughed and cursed, took out an envelope from his bag and handed it to Tang Zhitong, "Since you don't want to follow me, then go take the exam."

"What is this?" Tang Zhitong took the envelope hesitantly, opened it and glanced at it, with surprise on his face. He stood up and bowed to Wu Group sincerely.

"I said I would reward you, but I can't fool you with just a little flour." Mr. Wu felt Tang Zhitong's joy, and his mood was also infected. "Just a while ago, the post office was planning to recruit workers, so I signed up for you. Can you make it? , and then it depends on your test scores."

"When I get back, I will go find Gu Jiudou and find out carefully. I will definitely not embarrass you!" This opportunity is the reward given to Tang Zhitong by Team Wu. Whether he can pass the exam or not... We will still be friends if we see through it or not.

"No matter whether you can pass the exam or not, no matter what position you are in, you must work hard. I believe you will do well." Wu Zu encouraged.

"I promise I won't disappoint you!" Tang Zhitong raised his glass to a night banquet where the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After coming here for more than two months, Tang Zhitong drank for the first time. The two of them drank one bottle, but Tang Zhitong was drunk.

Most of the current liquors are 60-65 degrees (with the exception of Maozi, which is only 55 degrees at this time), with high alcohol content and strong strength. This is why most drinkers in taverns only need two taels.

After returning from Xiaotangshan, Tang Zhitong had a drink with Gu Yong and chose a restaurant nearby. Currently, whether it is a state-owned or joint-venture restaurant, they only charge money and do not require tickets. The service attitude is average, but it will never go so far as to beat customers.Wine is a catalyst for deepening feelings between men. After a drink, Tang Zhitong figured out the exam items.It may not be too difficult due to the recruitment group we are targeting.

Since it was not time for the exam, Tang Zhitong returned home first.

The flour had already been received by Tang Zhitong. He took out more than 30 yuan prepared from his pocket and handed it to Tang's mother: "Mom, you can keep these two months' wages."

"Okay." Tang's mother did not doubt that he was there. After putting it away, she quietly asked her son: "How is work going?"

"Don't worry, I will take the exam in two days." Tang Zhitong also whispered back.

"Why are there still exams?" Tang's mother asked curiously.

"It's all formal procedures, justifiable. Don't worry." Tang Zhitong explained and changed the subject: "Have the iron been turned in?"

"Our family really couldn't get it together, so we took some from there, stuck it in the street and asked to hand it over, and you can hide the rest in the house." Tang's mother was very honest and told Tang Zhitong.

"Okay, if you collect it again next time, I'll hand it over again. That's why I bought it."

"You knew you were going to make steel a long time ago? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Mother Tang was surprised and a little angry.

"You may not believe what I said." Tang Zhitong expressed his innocence, "If you spill the beans and get into trouble, it's better not to say anything."

"If this job didn't require money, I wouldn't have told you." Tang Zhitong continued to work with his mother, "I can predict the steelmaking and have made preparations in advance. The same goes for the work. It must be reliable. Don't worry. .”

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Mother Tang felt at ease and stopped asking any more questions.

"After I left last time, did the old Liu family behave like monsters again?" Tang Zhitong asked his mother, thinking about the effectiveness of the bumblebee's attack.

"What are you doing? That night, the two of you stung a hornet's nest somewhere. They were stung all over the courtyard. I heard that their faces were deformed. I heard that they lay in bed at home for seven or eight days, and when they saw flying ones, I'm shivering, now I can't go out without going out, and the house is stuffy in the hot weather." Tang's mother beamed with joy and told her son vividly.

"Yeah! How about we raise a nest of wasps and hang it at the door? It will save her from leaning towards us." Tang Zhitong gloated.

"Bumblebees don't recognize people, so what do you do if they sting your sister?"

"You're right, I won't support you anymore."
