Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 248: Suspension of Salary
"I know. I saw people in the next alley. They said that the factory over there has stopped operating. I heard that it will be streamlined and may be merged with other factories in the future." Bang Geng said with a wry smile.

I'm almost thirty years old, and as a result, not only have I achieved nothing, but it's also difficult for me to find a job. How can I seek justice for this?

Of course, the Banggeng who came back from the countryside was not as aggressive as portrayed in the TV series, and he was much calmer.

"It's no big deal. At most I can become a self-employed person. I can make a living by doing anything." Yang Zhenyu waved his hand and said.

"Uncle Yang, do you think this self-employed person can make a living?" Banggeng said with shining eyes.

"How can I put it? As long as it's legal, there won't be any problem. However, making money is not that easy. Do you understand what I mean?" Yang Zhenyu said.

"If you say so, I will feel more confident. Maybe I can really become a self-employed person in the future." Banggeng said with shining eyes.

"You, why don't you go and work in the street for a two-year period first? With your temper, you'll offend your customers if you do business on your own." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"Hey, okay." Banggeng said, scratching his head awkwardly.

"I'll go home first, otherwise my mother will be worried." Banggeng said.

"Okay, let's go home." Yang Zhenyu waved his hand and said.

"Eh!"

"This kid, with his temper, still needs to be tamed." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said as he looked at Banggeng's back.

"Why does this guy come to you for help? Does he want you to arrange work for him again?" Zhou Qianqian asked.

"Not this time. This kid seems to be very interested in self-employed individuals." Yang Zhenyu shook his head.

"That's good." Zhou Qianqian nodded.

"The situation in the factory is not very good now. We don't know when problems will arise. We can't just arrange people in at will. It will be bad if it affects you then." Zhou Qianqian was very worried about this problem. After all, the family's income mainly depends on Yang Zhenyu's salary.

"I know the severity of the case, don't worry." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.

"Well, we can't help others casually now. Our family's situation is more troublesome than theirs." Zhou Qianqian nodded.

In fact, Zhou Qianqian was more worried than others about problems in the factory. After all, both she and her husband worked in the factory. If something really went wrong, both of them would lose their jobs.

However, Yang Zhenyu felt that Zhou Qianqian's worry was unnecessary. Even if he didn't go into business, Yang Zhenyu felt that he didn't need to worry about work.
Because, with his skills, there will always be a place to use them.

Besides, if there is a problem in the factory, the cadres will be transferred and will not be unemployed.

For Yang Zhenyu, now is not the time to worry about work, but when he can build a private factory.

In fact, the first private enterprise has been established, but it is also led by the state and is a partnership joint-stock enterprise. It is particularly noteworthy that it is also a non-profit enterprise, which is the later Aijian Group.

"Maybe, I can apply to my superiors." Yang Zhenyu said, touching his chin.

"What did you say?" Zhou Qianqian looked at Yang Zhenyu.

"It's okay. I'll think about it later." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.

"Are you thinking about going into business again?" Zhou Qianqian stared at Yang Zhenyu and said.

As a couple who have lived together for more than ten years, Zhou Qianqian knows Yang Zhenyu too well.
Ever since Yang Zhenyu mentioned going into business last time, Zhou Qianqian has kept this in mind.

"Well, I definitely have to go into business, but I have to wait. There is no chance yet." Yang Zhenyu nodded. "Do I have to go into business?" Zhou Qianqian said with a very unhappy look on her face.

"Well, in a factory or research institute, many ideas cannot be realized. Only after you go into business can you make your own decisions. Then, many ideas can be realized." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"If I go into business, I will have no income. What if I lose money? How will I live then?" Zhou Qianqian was very worried about this problem.

You know, Yang Zhenyu's family now has four people. If he has no income and loses money, then life will be difficult.

"Don't worry, I can't afford to pay for it. I still have that confidence." Yang Zhenyu gave Zhou Qianqian a look that said, "You have to believe me."

"You can do business if you want, but you can't touch the family savings." Zhou Qianqian said firmly.

"No, I need capital." Yang Zhenyu shook his head.

"You..." Zhou Qianqian pointed at Yang Zhenyu, not knowing what to say.

"Don't worry, I won't take all of it. I'll only use a part of it. We need start-up capital. Even tens of thousands of dollars can't set up a factory." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.

"Well, you can go into business and transfer my job to the hospital. Although the work in the factory is easy, you never know when problems might arise. Someone has to earn money to support the family." Zhou Qianqian said with a sigh.

"Thank you." Yang Zhenyu thanked with a smile.

"I don't know you. Ever since you mentioned it once that year, you have been thinking about this matter. Even if I don't agree, what can I do? Who knows, you might do it yourself one day." Zhou Qianqian shook her head helplessly.

"Going into business is something I must do. I will go to my leader to apply for this matter, set up the business as soon as possible, and then implement it according to the plan." Yang Zhenyu grinned.

"Okay, as long as you're willing to leave us a way out, my monthly salary is more than 50 yuan, which is enough for the family's expenses." Zhou Qianqian said.

Yang Zhenyu has always been a man of action. After making up his mind, he immediately took action and found a time to go to the department.

No one knows what was discussed specifically, and even the secretary was kicked out.

In 1980, just after the Chinese New Year, Yang Zhenyu officially left the steel mill and the research institute on leave without pay.

To put it bluntly, it means resignation. Who would go back if they have dignity?

However, Yang Zhenyu got a loan note from the bank, a loan of 300 million yuan.

"Why is there so much?" Zhou Qianqian said in disbelief, looking at the loan slip on the table.

"It's not much. This little money is just enough to start the factory. I'll go to the steel mill to buy some things later." Yang Zhenyu said.

"This is not enough. Can we pay it back in this lifetime?"

Of course, Zhou Qianqian was not worried about not having enough money, but she was worried about not being able to pay it off. How long would it take to pay back such a large amount of money?

"It's a small problem. Once my factory is built, I can pay it off in a few years." Yang Zhenyu shook his head.

"Oh!" Zhou Qianqian felt like she was on a pirate ship.

"Okay, I won't care about you anymore. I'll just focus on my work." Zhou Qianqian said with a wry smile.

"Okay, just focus on your work. We'll talk about it when I'm stable." Yang Zhenyu nodded.
