Chapter 42: My Little Brother Liu Guangtian

Chapter 42: My Little Brother Liu Guangtian

No matter how depressed Xu Damao felt, the wedding that had been scheduled for May Day could not be postponed any longer.

Xu Damao lost the mood to hold a grand wedding, and the Lou family also wanted to keep the matter low-key, so there was no wedding banquet, but Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e went door to door to distribute wedding candies.

Zhang Dongliang has a bad impression of Lou Xiao'e and thinks that Lou Xiao'e is a stupid woman without brains.

Zhang Dongliang has always had a malicious guess that the screenwriter thought Xu Damao was too smart and had too high EQ, so he sent such a stupid woman with low EQ to neutralize him.

Besides, Zhang Dongliang didn’t think Lou Xiao’e was pretty.

Not only does Lou Xiao'e look very ordinary, the key point is that when she speaks, the shape of her mouth always feels like there is a piece of chewing gum in it, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Lou Xiao'e has a fair complexion because she has lived in good conditions since childhood, and Zhang Dongliang has no objection to this.

This is also what Zhang Dongliang has never understood.

How could Director Lou, who had lived through war and chaos, have failed so badly in educating his children?

In that era, you didn't need to be very smart. You had to at least have some sense of self-preservation.

Although Zhang Dongliang dislikes Lou Xiao'e very much, this does not prevent Zhang Dongliang from respecting Lou Xiao'e's character.

Being a good woman who has no bad intentions and is compassionate to others is rare in any world.

This is why Zhang Dongliang respects Lou Xiaoe.

Looking at Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe who were standing at the door handing out wedding candies.

Dongliang said to Xu Damao with a smile: "Congratulations, brother Damao." Then Zhang Dongliang said to Lou Xiaoe very seriously: "Congratulations, sister-in-law."

Look, this is differential treatment.

In mid-April, Section Chief Xu found Zhang Dongliang and said that he had found a suitable warehouse and asked Zhang Dongliang to go over and take a look.

Zhang Dongliang went to take a look. The warehouse was in the north of the city and was the receiving warehouse for materials from the former logistics department to the counties and districts below.

Later, because its location was a bit remote and the supply of materials was mostly guaranteed by plan, this warehouse was gradually abandoned.

The warehouse is quite large, with about 10 large warehouses and a large yard. However, it has been abandoned for a long time and looks rather desolate.

Zhang Dongliang is very satisfied with this yard.

Section Chief Xu said that he would go back and ask Director Li for instructions to send someone to clean up the yard and repair the house. He also gave the yard to Zhang Dongliang alone to be responsible for its use.

Before Sha Zhu got married, the warehouse had already been cleaned up. But Zhang Dongliang was very busy during those days and had no time to come. After coming here today, Zhang Dongliang raised two more questions.

First, who is in charge of the warehouse when it is not being handed over?

The second is that no one can stay here during the handover of materials in the warehouse.

Section Chief Xu Jianmin immediately responded to these two questions.

The first question was about the warehouse custodians. Section Chief Xu said that Director Li had already said that the two custodians were temporary workers and Zhang Dongliang could arrange one.

Zhang Dongliang understood that this was a favor from his boss. After all, it was not bad to be able to find a temporary job, especially in a large state-owned enterprise.

The second question is absolutely not a problem. The warehouse guards must obey Zhang Dongliang's instructions and must leave immediately if they are required to leave.

As for the person to look after the warehouse, Zhang Dongliang actually already had a candidate in mind, and that was Liu Guangtian, the second son of his second uncle Liu Haizhong.

Liu Guangtian has graduated from junior high school, but failed to get into high school, so he stays at home doing nothing all day.

There was no way to avoid being idle, as the street office had only so much work to do. Liu Guangtian was not very old, so he was not strong enough to work as a laborer at the transport station.

Recruiting workers into the factory? Wishful thinking!

Now we want to lay off some of the staff, the ones we just recruited from the countryside. If the job quotas were not tight, there would be no more going to the countryside.

This job was the most suitable for him and was a disguised way of entering the steel mill.

But Zhang Dongliang would only do this if he had the opportunity. If the factory had an arrangement, Zhang Dongliang would not do his best to help Liu Guangtian to get the job.

Just like now that there is an opportunity, Zhang Dongliang doesn't mind giving Liu Guangtian a push. When he gets home, he will ask his second uncle Liu Haizhong if he is willing to let Liu Guangtian do this job.

Zhang Dongliang, in a good mood, told Chief Xu that in addition to pork, an additional 5000 kilograms of fish would be provided to the factory on May st.

Section Chief Xu was overjoyed and hurried to confirm whether this was true. Zhang Dongliang said with certainty that there was absolutely no problem.

Zhang Dongliang can now be said to be a benefactor of Director Li of the Logistics Department. Although the amount of pork Zhang Dongliang can get is not much, it has greatly alleviated the current difficult situation of the factory.

There is no harm without comparison. The situation of other factories is even worse, and there are no such capable unplanned buyers to save the situation.

So a few days ago, Director Li used his connections to get a driver's license for Zhang Dongliang.

The current driving test is rather complicated and takes a long time. Not only do you need to be able to drive, you also need to be able to repair a car. But with Director Li, these are no longer a problem.

As a thank you, Zhang Dongliang gave Director Li three Viagra pills, saying that this was an imported special medicine, which was rare and expensive in the United States, and only the bigwigs in Hong Kong could get a little.

Zhang Dongliang provided these fish as a way of repaying Director Li's kindness.

Providing 5000 kilograms of fish was also a decision Zhang Dongliang had considered. For a large factory with 5000 people, kilograms of fish would be eaten up in one meal, or at most two meals, and the fish would not last long.

No one in the factory had any objection to Zhang Dongliang's plan to use the jeep during the May Day holiday.

Because everyone knows that if Zhang Dongliang doesn't touch the jeep, everyone will have no money. Now everyone hopes that Zhang Dongliang will drive the jeep every day.

With the warehouse, even if Zhang Dongliang uses a jeep, it may be much less in the future.

The main reason for using the jeep this time was to go to the countryside to meet Qin Jingru during the May Day holiday and to talk to her about engagement.

Wouldn't it be more prestigious to go by car?

Fortunately, the Willys is a military off-road jeep, otherwise it would be impossible to drive through the road in Qinjiazhuang.

After returning to the courtyard, Zhang Dongliang found his second uncle Liu Haizhong and told him and Liu Guangtian about the warehouse guarding job.

Second uncle Liu Haizhong was naturally overjoyed.

Liu Guangtian was also very happy. This job was profitable and not tiring. What was there to be afraid of being far away from home? At least he didn't have to worry about being beaten at home.

Let the second uncle Liu Haizhong go to see Section Chief Xu Jianmin tomorrow to coordinate, Zhang Dongliang will not care. The leader gives you face, but it is not good if you interfere too much.

On April 4, Zhang Dongliang came to the warehouse and saw that Liu Guangtian had officially started work.

Liu Guangtian now admires Zhang Dongliang very much.

We are the same age, but the difference between us is huge. Others are already cadres, but I got the job of gatekeeper through someone else's recommendation.

But the good thing about Liu Guangtian is that he is not blindly jealous and tends to acknowledge reality.

You are better than me and treat me well, so you are my big brother, no ambiguity, no shabbyness, no shame.

Zhang Dongliang nodded to Liu Guangtian with satisfaction, asked Liu Guangtian to continue on duty, and drove the jeep to the factory to deliver the pork.

As for the fish, we have to wait until we get back from Qinjiazhuang. I can't finish everything in one day, because that would make me look too capable.
