Chapter 54 Buying a Car Jia Dongxu's Counterattack
Chapter 54 Buying a Car Jia Dongxu's Counterattack
Li Kailang rode his bicycle, whizzing along the road, and arrived at the steel rolling mill in a few minutes.
"Hey, kid, you bought a car." Security guard Ren Youfeng said in surprise.
"Yes, I just bought it yesterday. How about it? Not bad, right?" Li Kailang said with a smile.
Li Kailang met Ren Youfeng every time he delivered pork. After two times, they became familiar with each other.
He is the team leader of the security guards and has several security guards under him. They are not as good as the team leader Ma Wenxuan, but they are not bad either and they don't have to stay outside all the time.
"Not bad! Not bad, this is not cheap!"
"so far so good!"
"Okay, stop showing off there, come in and get to work!" Ren Youfeng said unhappily.
"Okay, let's go."
As he spoke, Li Kailang drove towards the transport team.
The steel rolling mill also has a bicycle parking area, but it is close to the cadre building and far away from the transport team.
Besides, the transport team has a large space, so one or two bicycles are not a big deal.
"Xiao Li, why did you buy a bicycle?" Lu Wenjiang asked when he saw Li Kailang parked his car.
Following behind him were Zhang Jinwu and Zhang Fen, who were also a little curious.
"I got off work early yesterday and bought it on my way there," Li Kailang explained.
"Isn't your house far from the steel mill? Why do you buy a bicycle? Isn't it a waste?" Lu Wenjiang asked puzzledly.
Zhang Jinwu and Zhang Fen were equally confused.
Other drivers had the same doubts and came to Li Kailang one after another.
At that time, everyone had similar ideas: the workplace was close to home, the expenses were high, and it was of no use, so no one bought it.
The Three Turns and One Ring became famous mainly in the 1970s, but now people mainly focus on the Thirty-six Legs and Seventy-two Legs.
You don’t need a ticket to buy a bicycle now, but they drive trucks and don’t need bicycles.
"Hey, I'm just lazy. I don't want to walk early in the morning. Besides, I have money on me, so I have to buy something." Li Kailang explained.
Upon hearing this, everyone left. It was really a waste to buy a bicycle just because they didn't want to walk.
After everyone left, Li Kailang whispered, "It's hard to talk about this directly. Let's talk about it somewhere else."
It was said to be a change of location, but in fact it was Zhang Jinwu’s office.
Hearing this, the three looked at Li Kailang in surprise, "Is there any hidden story behind this?"
But before we talk about anything, we have to assign the tasks.
Fortunately, there were not many tasks today and they were quickly distributed. Li Kailang and Lu Wenjiang were each assigned a task.
There was no rush, and several people came to Zhang Jinwu's office.
"Tell me, Xiao Li, what secret is there?" Zhang Jinwu said seriously.
Lu Wenjiang and Zhang Fen also looked at Li Kailang seriously.
"Uh, don't stare at me like that! I'm not married yet." Li Kailang said with his hands on his chest, looking at the two of them with contempt.
"Don't interrupt, just speak!" Lu Wenjiang said hurriedly.
"It's not a big deal. I bought a bicycle ticket from a black market ticket seller yesterday."
Li Kailang briefly talked about how he bought the tickets yesterday.
"Look, even sewing machines and radios require tickets. I'm worried that bicycles will also need tickets in the future. I bought one now while they don't need tickets, just in case."
"You are right, but there is no need to be so anxious."
"A bicycle is not a small item. If a ticket is required, it would be announced in the newspaper in advance," Zhang Fen retorted.
"Hey, Brother Zhang, it's too late for you to think like that. When you want to buy it, won't everyone else want to buy it too? How can you buy it then?" Li Kailang retorted. Hearing this, the three nodded.
"Think about it carefully. Since bicycles require tickets, do watches also require tickets?"
The three of them nodded deeply.
"Okay, Xiao Lu, pick a time and take Xiao Fen with you when you deliver the supplies, and then buy a bicycle when you come back." Zhang Jinwu ordered.
Zhang Jinwu planned to wait until Lu Wenjiang returned from delivering the supplies as it would be almost time to get off work at noon.
Afterwards, he asked Zhang Fen to buy two bicycles, one for himself and one for Lu Wenjiang.
Lu Wenjiang could go out during the lunch break so that he wouldn't be criticized.
"Okay, let's listen to the master!" Lu Wenjiang echoed.
"Okay, get out to work!"
After the three of them left, Lu Wenjiang put his arm around Li Kailang's shoulders and said, "Xiao Li! Fortunately, you are here. I didn't expect this to happen."
"No, no, it's just a coincidence," Li Kailang said modestly.
As for why they didn't buy watches, it was because all three of them already had one, or most truck drivers did.
This is mainly due to work needs. Besides, with a truck driver's salary, 2 salaries can buy a watch worth the price of a Shanghai ticket, the same as the one on Li Kailang's hand.
As the captain of the transport team, Zhang Jinwu always wore a watch on his wrist, but it was covered by his clothes.
Lu Wenjiang also has one, but he doesn’t wear it on his hand. Instead, he keeps it on his body, mainly because he doesn’t use it normally.
Zhang Fen also has one, but since he failed the driving test, he has kept it at home.
Li Kailang originally planned to wear a watch, but when he saw that no one was wearing one, he didn't take it out.
After the matter was agreed upon, Li Kailang inspected the truck and started to carry out his mission of transporting supplies when there were no problems.
On the other hand, Jia Dongxu was harassed at his workstation.
When Jia Dongxu arrived at his workstation, the tasks had already been assigned.
"Jia Dongxu, this is your assignment for today. Do it well. Don't be careless like you were yesterday." The workshop director said bluntly.
"Oh! Okay, I will pay attention!" Jia Dongxu said humbly.
"Well, do a good job!" After saying that, the workshop director left.
Jia Dongxu looked at the workpiece on the workstation and felt a bit of a headache.
Ever since Jia Dongxu married Qin Huairu, the difficulty of the workpieces has been reduced little by little. Until yesterday, he was only working on the simplest workpieces of the first-level job.
Jia Dongxu didn't even know that his abilities were gradually declining, but he didn't care because he had no ambition to make progress.
The workpiece in front of us now is of medium difficulty among the first-level workpieces.
However, with Jia Dongxu's ability, he could still do it, but he hadn't done something so difficult for a long time, so he was a little at a loss for a moment.
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai didn't come to give him instructions, Jia Dongxu could only harden his heart and do it himself. "I don't believe it. Without Yi Zhonghai, I can't do it!"
Thinking in his heart, Jia Dongxu began to operate seriously, measuring, calculating, and drawing lines.
After a series of preliminary operations were completed, ten to twenty minutes later, other first-level workers had already completed the processing of a workpiece.
Jia Dongxu is still in the initial stage.
However, his serious look surprised his colleagues around him.
"Could it be that Jia Dongxu has really come to his senses?"
Although Jia Dongxu did not do well yesterday and affected everyone, Jia Dongxu's current appearance is completely different from before, which makes everyone look forward to it.
The main reason is that if Jia Dongxu really changes, the workshop will also be improved, and perhaps we can strive for higher benefits.
After all, most of the workshops are at the bottom and receive the most ordinary benefits.
