Chapter 2102
The Little Fatty's Pain
"Yes, I work at this factory," Liu Guangqi said expressionlessly.
Although he was just an ordinary warehouse keeper, he still worked in an office.
Compared to the workers in the workshop, he could indeed be considered a leader.
For a long time after the reform and opening up, those office clerks felt psychologically superior to the factory workers.
Even though the income of a factory worker is double that of an ordinary office worker.
This isn't too difficult to understand; it's about room for improvement.
Even if there are a hundred clerks, only one person can seize the opportunity to become an office leader.
But at least they all believe they have a chance.
"Hey hey hey..."
Brother Guangqi, could you... could you arrange for me to work in the factory too?
"...Yan Jiekuang didn't even care about saving face. On their first meeting, he made a request to Liu Guangqi."
There is nothing we can do about this.
Among the second-generation rich kids in the old courtyard, if we're talking about who's the hardest to talk to, it's definitely Liu Guangqi.
In the eyes of Yan Jiekuang and others, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were much easier to talk to than Liu Guangqi.
That's normal; Xu Damao has always been a kind-hearted neighbor throughout his life.
Whenever someone needs help, they can call on him and he will come to assist.
Although He Yuzhu was a bit cold, he had fulfilled his obligations to anyone with a normal relationship with the He family.
There are always people who speak ill of the He family, and someone will always retort with, "When He Daqing left, what did you do for the He family?"
It's very likely that the person who said this also doesn't have a good relationship with the He family.
That's just how things are. When someone reaches a certain position, even if they've never expressed goodwill towards those below them, there will still be people who will speak up for them.
This is similar to how, in later generations, if someone talks about a big boss doing something disgusting, they will inevitably bring up the actions of another big boss to put down the former.
In fact, neither of the two bosses had any connection with the people who were spreading these rumors.
Liu Guangqi was in a bad mood.
He felt offended.
Others would meet an old friend in a foreign land and be moved to tears.
Liu Guangqi, on the other hand, found this encounter very annoying.
Even when he was going through a very tough time, none of his fellow villagers came out to acknowledge him.
Why is it that as soon as life gets a little better, these so-called fellow villagers pop up like dog urine?
Liu Guangqi's gaze was unfocused. He looked around, not thinking about who he was looking for, but rather trying to find an excuse to get rid of Yan Jiekuang.
"Cough cough... It's a relief!"
"Everyone's at work right now, can we talk about this after get off work?" Liu Guangqi coughed before speaking.
After saying this, he ignored Yan Jiekuang's reaction and walked past the fellow villager.
Yan Jiekuang, standing behind him, was a little stunned. He thought about asking where to find Liu Guangqi after get off work, but Liu Guangqi didn't turn around at all.
"Pah... You think you're something special, acting all high and mighty?" Yan Jiekuang spat on the ground, his unpleasant words flowing freely.
This is very much like Yan Jiekuang; he's the kind of person who uses people and then ignores them.
To put it bluntly, if it were Liu Guangqi's brother Yan Jiecheng who was pleading with him right now, the outcome would certainly be very different.
Even if Yan Jiecheng is stingy, at least he can maintain a respectable public image.
Moreover, he and Liu Guangqi grew up together and had some friendship.
But what gives Yan Jiekuang the right to do so?
Besides, Liu Guangqi really doesn't have the ability to arrange anything for him at the factory right now.
He himself felt that his official position was somewhat unstable.
There was no other reason; his vocational school diploma had been too conspicuous for a while.
Whoever becomes his leader will definitely be afraid that one day this person will take his place.
So while other warehouse workers could sit in the cool warehouse with electric fans, Liu Guangqi was assigned to help out at the construction site.
The part-time safety officer has two main roles: one is to check whether workers are performing dangerous operations and whether they are at risk of heatstroke; the other is to prevent theft and other unauthorized activities.
This is the first meeting between the two most outstanding "second-generation residents" of the old courtyard in this small southern city.
Each has its own difficulties, and each has its own expectations.
Putting aside their character flaws, these two are indeed working hard for themselves.
Meanwhile, on the train back to Beijing.
A tall, sturdy young man also had a conflicted expression.
He was accompanied by a pretty girl who wasn't very fair-skinned.
The girl had a wheatish complexion and thick body hair on her exposed arms.
Of course, these are all minor issues.
Overall, this girl is very beautiful.
And when she looked at Xu Shengli, her eyes were full of tenderness and affection.
This girl is a local from a small southern town, but she has a rural household registration; she's from Yumin Village in Luohu Town.
The process of Xu Shengli getting to know her was very simple.
The fishing village was located near the river and originally relied on fishing for a living.
There are very few decent houses in the whole village.
It was dilapidated and extremely poor.
However, after the reform and opening-up policy was announced at the end of last year, many Hong Kong businessmen who trade with the mainland have used this place as their transit point because it is adjacent to Hong Kong Island.
They reaped the first wave of benefits after the reform and opening up.
Xu Shengli met this girl when he went to the area to repair electrical appliances.
Although Xu Shengli wasn't particularly good-looking, he was a resident of Beijing and, despite his young age, possessed an exceptionally skilled repairmanship.
He didn't like the girl, but she liked him.
There were obviously some underhanded tactics involved.
On one occasion, when Xu Shengli visited, the local village chief, who was also the girl's second uncle, invited him to dinner and served him some rice wine.
Xu Shengli initially found it sweet and low in alcohol content.
I drank it without worry.
As a result, when I woke up, the rice had already been cooked.
What can be done?
Although he felt extremely wronged, he still had no choice but to submit a report to his workplace and apply for marriage.
Otherwise, it's questionable whether he can even leave the fishing village.
Actually, he has no complaints about his current wife.
Although she is poor and has a rural household registration, she is very beautiful.
Moreover, he was on the front line of reform and opening up, and his elders in the family were village leaders.
The family is thriving, and the maternal family is quite influential in the area.
The key issue is that the chubby boy doesn't know how to explain this to his family when he gets home.
If I told He Yuan that he was forced to sleep with a girl, she would probably laugh at me for the rest of my life.
Thinking of this, the chubby boy immediately turned to the girl and said, "Yuzhen, when we get home, if anyone asks about how we met, just insist that we were in a free-love relationship."
Please don't tell anyone that I was drunk.
The girl's surname is Deng, which is also a common surname in the fishing village.
Hearing Xu Shengli's instructions, Deng Yuzhen was a little confused and replied in broken Mandarin, "Didn't we say that we would tell the truth when we got home?"
If Mom and Dad have any complaints, I'll kowtow and apologize to them. ... (End of Chapter)
