Chapter 289 Is this how you test your cadres?

"Xiao Li, what do you think of working at this scrap recycling station? It's hard to find a job nowadays, so it's good to be able to find one."

After Yan Bugui finished telling the story of Uncle Liu buying a job, he quietly watched Li Kailang's reaction.

"Work at a scrap collection station." Li Kailang touched his chin and lowered his head to think about the feasibility of this matter.

He knows all the ins and outs of the purchasing station. 500 yuan is enough for him, so he can pay it in one lump sum.

If he buys it honestly and has a job in hand, it's not a bad thing. Of course, he will not give up his current job as a driver.

The driver's job is much easier, and he can also go out of town to travel. Why should he be stuck in the purchasing station?

"Let's get the job first. Whether to keep it or sell it to someone else will be decided later."

"Besides, it's easier to get things done if someone works at the scrap yard, and it's easier to buy some things."

Thinking of this, Li Kailang made up his mind.

"Uncle San, please introduce Uncle Liu to me. I want this job."

"Okay, let's go now. I wonder if this news is worth it." Yan Bugui hesitated and rubbed his fingers together. His meaning was self-evident.

"Don't worry, Third Uncle. You will be indispensable after this is done." Li Kailang said with a smile.

"Let's go now, let's go now." Yan Bugui said anxiously, riding a bicycle and taking Li Kailang to Uncle Liu's residence.

After a while, Yan Bugui came back to Uncle Liu's residence.

Knock on the door, walk in, and after some greetings, get straight to the point.

Li Kailang said, "Uncle Liu, I don't think we need to use Teacher Yan's method. I can pay the 500 yuan in one lump sum."

Li Kailang's behavior made Uncle Liu panic: "Really? Isn't that too much of a stretch? I can actually accept installments."

Having said that, seeing how generous Li Kailang was, Uncle Liu wanted to pay in installments so that he could earn a few dozen more dollars in interest.

Li Kailang waved his hand: "No, it's no problem to pay it off in one lump sum. I just have one question, please answer it."

"You say." Uncle Liu said.

"I wonder if this job quota of yours is permanent or will it be filled before you retire?"

Li Kailang doesn't want to spend money but not get anything done. He doesn't have a suitable candidate on hand, and it's impossible for him to take over before retirement.

He is not stupid. To make up for it before retirement, he just needs to find someone else to take over. Then he will have wasted 500 yuan.

“I don’t know about that. Wait a minute, I’ll go ask the stationmaster. It should be impossible for me to make up for it before I retire,” Uncle Liu said hesitantly.

Li Kailang: "Uncle Liu, I want a definite answer, not an uncertain answer like yours. I don't want to waste my money and get nothing in the end."

"If possible, I will definitely keep this job quota. As long as I can take it up later, I can still discuss it with my supervisor."

Li Kailang deliberately emphasized the word "discuss it", and the meaning is naturally self-evident. You can bribe the leader and give him some money.

"One more thing, I have already spent 500 yuan in advance to buy your job. If I spend more money, it will be more than 500 yuan. I don't want to pay more."

Hearing this, Uncle Liu frowned and was a little hesitant about spending his money.

He offered 500 yuan, which was indeed a bit expensive, but he felt it was worth it.

He originally thought it was a trivial matter, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated. The main reason was that Li Kailang had no one on his side. If he had, it wouldn't be so complicated.

After hearing what Yan Bugui said yesterday, Uncle Liu became anxious. The job had been out for so long, but it still hadn't been sold. He finally got Yan Bugui to come, but in the end he didn't want it.

Now that Li Kailang is here, he doesn't want to lose him. He'd better get the job done as soon as possible, get the money and retire peacefully.

Uncle Liu said, "Well, let's go talk to the stationmaster. As for the extra money, that's easy to talk about. I'll deduct the money from you."

Hearing this, Li Kailang nodded. If that's the case, then there's something to talk about.

Uncle Liu took the two of them to the scrap collection station. Halfway there, Uncle Liu suddenly stopped and said to Yan Bugui.

"Teacher Yan, you don't need to get involved in this matter. Just go back and wait for news."

Hearing this, Yan Bugui looked at Li Kailang, and when he saw him nod, he turned around and left decisively.

Uncle Liu couldn't help but look at Li Kailang with admiration. Without saying much, he took Li Kailang to the purchasing station and found the stationmaster.

"By the way, Uncle Liu, how about the stationmaster of the purchasing station? Is there any possibility of bribery?"

Since the two were in the same boat, Li Kailang asked straight to the point.

Uncle Liu said, "Don't worry, I know the stationmaster very well. He is a money-grubber. He just likes money."

"You can just use money to pressure him, but the maximum amount is one hundred dollars, any more is fine."

Hearing this, Li Kailang nodded. Being greedy for money was easy to deal with. He had plenty of money. It was mainly Uncle Liu's money that he spent, so he didn't feel bad about it.

After a while, the two came to the stationmaster's office of the scrap collection station.

"boom!"

"Old Liu, you've been working at the station for decades, don't you know me? Who do you think I am, Wang Chengcai?"

A middle-aged man slammed the table.

"Since you are an old man in the station, I didn't want to say anything more about you, but look at what you are doing now. You are actually selling your job?"

"The station is so busy every day. If you retire, how much more work will happen if one person is missing? Do you know that? Will I be able to recruit more people after what you have done?"

Uncle Liu lowered his head and listened to Wang Chengcai's teachings. In the past, he would have just listened to them, but now he couldn't do that because his work was related to his money.

Uncle Liu retorted, "Stationmaster, I know, but you see the economy is not doing well outside right now. If one less person is working at the station, that means one less salary."

"The main thing is to give out less food. Isn't that good?"

"Bang!" Wang Chengcai slammed the table. "Is this what I'm talking about?"

Li Kailang watched quietly from the side. From what he said, it was obvious that he wanted money.

Li Kailang took out the money from his pocket and put it directly on the table.

"Snap!" Ten big black tens appeared in front of the two people, which was directly worth 100 yuan.

Looking at so much money, Uncle Liu felt a pain in his heart as if it was bleeding. He said it was only a hundred at most, so there was no need to take it out so early.

Wang Chengcai rolled his eyes at the money and sneered. What's the use of having it now since money is worthless?

Wang Chengcai then looked at Uncle Liu, his face flushed, as if Li Kailang was corrupting him: "Why? Old Liu, do you think you can bribe me with this thing?"

"Who do you think I am, Wang Chengcai? Do you think I'm a corrupt official? Ah!!!"

"Is this how you test the cadres? Which cadre can't stand such a test?"

Wang Chengcai kept banging the table, making a loud banging sound, as if he was mocking Li Kailang.

Uncle Liu looked at Wang Chengcai in astonishment as to why he didn't play by the rules. Wasn't he usually greedy for money?

"This is a difficult situation. What should I do with my job? What should I do with my money?" Uncle Liu was extremely anxious, but he was helpless.

Li Kailang smiled slightly, "It seems that Mr. Liu treats money with contempt. I admire you. But I wonder if this will work?"

Li Kailang took out five food coupons worth one kilogram from his pocket.

Wang Chengcai couldn't help swallowing as he looked at the food coupons. Although he was the stationmaster, his food security was the same as that of ordinary people and he didn't have much food in stock.

He earned a lot of money but had little food, and his family of six needed a lot of food every day.

Wang Chengcai slowly sat back in his chair and said calmly, "Why, Lao Liu, what do you think I am? Do you think I can ignore such a small thing?"

There was a turning point in the situation, and Li Kailang took out another 5 food coupons.

"Ahem, Old Liu, don't do this again. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but I can keep your job for you this year."

Seeing this, Li Kailang took out another 5 food coupons.

Wang Chengcai suddenly put on a smiling face and said, "Old Liu, you are really good at judging people!"

"Look at you, Old Liu. Why did you choose to retire at this time? The year is almost halfway through, and it's too late to find someone to take your place."

"Well, I think it would be best to leave this job until the end of next year. I'll have plenty of time. What do you think, Lao Liu?"

Wang Chengcai seemed to be talking to Uncle Liu, but his eyes were glancing at Li Kailang, looking at him expectantly.

Uncle Liu watched the two people talking. They were clearly talking to himself, but actually they were talking to others. He felt like he was just a microphone, or even not a microphone.

Seeing that Li Kailang was reluctant to take out his food coupons, Wang Chengcai immediately said, "Old Liu, it's not impossible to save this job quota until next year, don't you think?"

"It will be a little troublesome to leave it until the year after next. Ten more kilograms will do. No, five kilograms will do. I will leave it for you until the year after next."

A year and a half was enough, and Li Kailang stopped spending food coupons.

He said calmly, "Look, Lao Liu, I only brought these few gifts to see the leader. I wonder if they are enough?"

"If it's not enough, forget it. I'll take it back so that the leader won't look down on you." Wang Chengcai immediately said, "It's enough, of course it's enough, Lao Liu, you also know that the thought is more important than the gift. Just come. The thought is what matters most."

That’s a full 15 kilograms of food coupons. Unless he’s stupid, he won’t agree to it.

If you eat these 15 kilograms of food sparingly, it will last you at least a week.

Wang Chengcai quickly took away the food coupons on the table, and at the same time he also took away the 10 big black tens.

Uncle Liu looked at Wang Chengcai and thought to himself, "He is really greedy for money. Oh no, he is also greedy for food."

Hearing his question, he quickly said, "It's OK as long as the stationmaster doesn't mind. Do you know about the work?"

Wang Chengcai said, "The work is easy to handle. It's rare for you to come to see me, so why would I make it difficult for you? Wait a moment and I'll give you a certificate."

As he spoke, Wang Chengcai took out the certificate of replacement from the drawer, wrote down the content, signed his name and considered it completed.

"When someone starts working, just come and sign for me on this date, and fill in the rest directly."

Uncle Liu took the certificate of replacement with great joy and handed it to Li Kailang.

Uncle Liu said, "Stationmaster, after I retire, there will be one less person. What will we do with this job?"

Wang Chengcai glanced at him and said, "It's one less person, it's not a big deal, we can just let others share more of the burden when the time comes."

"Once someone comes, it won't be a big deal to assign the work to him."

Hearing this, Uncle Liu nodded, feeling a little sorry for his colleagues for adding to their burden.

Wang Chengcai then instructed: "Old Liu, you still have to get this matter done as soon as possible. We can't talk about this matter openly."

"The stuff was made here, so I can handle it easily. But if I leave, don't give it to the next stationmaster to avoid trouble."

Wang Chengcai was worried about attracting trouble and wanted to avoid getting into trouble if he went up.

In response to this, Li Kailang sneered in his heart. If Wang Chengcai had mentioned this last year, he would have been careful, but that was impossible now.

Not to mention now, even in the next two years, there is no need to worry. Few people can get promoted at this time.

Li Kailang said: "Old Liu, don't worry, we can solve our own problems. I'm just causing you trouble, but I hope you can still admit it next year."

Hearing this, Wang Chengcai couldn't help but nodded and looked at Li Kailang with eyes full of praise.

The work was done perfectly and all three of them made a profit.

Wang Chengcai earned 15 kilograms of grain and 100 yuan.

Uncle Liu earned 400 yuan from selling his job, so the remaining 100 yuan was naturally deducted from him.

Li Kailang got a job quota for free with 400 yuan, and as for the food coupons, they were nothing.

Returning to Uncle Liu's yard, Li Kailang took out 40 big black tens and handed them to Uncle Liu.

"Uncle Liu, 400 yuan, please order carefully, don't give less."

Uncle Liu quickly took the stack of big black tens, smeared some saliva on his fingers, and counted them carefully one by one.

As for how Li Kailang came up with so much money at once, he didn't bother to care.

"12340, exactly 40, that's right." Uncle Liu smiled. With this money, he could finally finish his work for more than a month with peace of mind.

I am waiting to reunite with my son after I retire, and see my grandson whom I haven't seen for a long time.

Thinking of this, Uncle Liu couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Uncle Liu, if you have any problem in the future, I'll trouble you to come over again."

"Of course, of course." Uncle Liu replied.

After all, it is a certificate of replacement. If someone wants to replace him, he naturally has to move into Uncle Liu's household registration in order to replace him.

The country does not consider buying and selling jobs privately. If you want to replace someone legally and reasonably, you have to do this, unless the higher-ups do not check.

However, with Wang Chengcai taking care of me, there should be no need for a check-up, but we still have to be prepared just in case.

After the discussion, Li Kailang left the yard with the certificate of replacement.

"With this thing and a year and a half left, I don't believe we can't find someone to take over."

"It's easy. Someone will choose it sooner or later. It can be sold next year at the latest. I won't let it fall on my hands."

"Then follow Yan Bugui's method and collect both the deposit and the interest, making a small profit."

Li Kailang unknowingly raised a flag, but he didn't know that this proved to be a failure in his hands and he didn't make a penny.

When I returned to the yard, I saw Yan Bugui wiping the bicycle, but his actions showed that he was absent-minded and his mind was wandering.

Li Kailang chuckled. Yan Bugui was obviously thinking about the introduction fee.

"Third uncle."

"Hey, who's looking for me?" Yan Bugui turned around in panic and found Li Kailang looking at him with a smile.

"Uncle, let's go inside and talk." Yan Bugui followed Li Kailang into his house.

Li Kailang closed the door and took out two big black tens from his trouser pocket and gave them to Yan Bugui.

"20 yuan is so much. Xiao Li is very polite, so I will accept it."

Yan Bugui took the 20 yuan excitedly. He didn't expect that he could earn so much money by introducing jobs. He felt very satisfied.

The price offered by Li Kailang was considered high, with most of the introduction fees being just 10 yuan or even less.

You have to know that the matchmaker only gets 5 yuan as an introduction fee for introducing a date.

Yan Bugui's main role was to act as a matchmaker and then to resell information.

Li Kailang didn't play any role when talking to Uncle Liu. It was Li Kailang and Uncle Liu who were talking throughout the whole process.

In fact, if Li Kailang was unemployed and Yan Bugui introduced him to the company, Yan Bugui could get more commission.

The main reason is that the needs are different. One is icing on the cake, and the other is timely assistance.

Li Kailang said: "Uncle, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would have almost lost this job."

Yan Bugui said modestly: "No, no, I didn't do anything, it was just a matchmaking job."

Li Kailang thought about it and nodded. It was true. "By the way, Uncle San, why did you want to introduce this job to me?"

Yan Bugui was a little embarrassed: "I originally introduced him to Jie Cheng. You know that after he approached you like that last time, he wanted to find a long-term job."

"It's just that he dislikes this job because it's dirty and tiring. He doesn't like it, so I introduced it to you, but I don't mean that."

In the end, Yan Bugui was worried that Li Kailang would think he was throwing away garbage, so he threw the news to him.

Li Kailang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle San, I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found such a good job."

"Is this job good? What's good about it?" Yan Bugui couldn't help but ask.

Li Kailang just smiled and said nothing, but Yan Bugui's heart tightened involuntarily, as if he had lost something important.

It seemed like working at the scrap recycling station was a good job, but he didn't know the ins and outs of it.

"What a loss! I shouldn't have sold it to Li Kailang." Yan Bugui couldn't help but regret it in his heart, scratching his head.

Although I don’t know what I regret, I’m just unhappy and feel like I’ve suffered a great loss.

This is indeed the case. After Li Kailang gave the job to someone else, Yan Jiecheng was jealous as he saw his life getting better and better.

Yan Bugui hurried home and told his third aunt about this.

The third aunt groaned and said, "Forget it. Xiao Li has already bought the job and we have already received the referral fee. What else can we say? It's too late to regret now."

"Besides, we have already reconciled and said that it was he who didn't like this job, not that we didn't remind him. He can look for a job later."

Hearing this, Yan Bugui nodded. It was too late to say anything now, so he could only deal with it calmly.

The third aunt continued, "However, we should talk about this matter peacefully and let him know about it, so that he won't regret it later and blame us."

"Okay, let's talk about it now." The two men said to Yan Jiecheng.

"Jie Cheng, someone has bought the job at the scrap recycling station, so there will be no such job anymore."

Yan Bugui deliberately concealed the fact that Li Kailang bought a job so as not to upset Yan Jiecheng. He is still complaining that Li Kailang did not help him.

"Okay, I understand. If Li Kailang buys it, then just buy it." Yan Jiecheng didn't care at all, but he was thinking in his heart:

"What future can this job have? How much money can I make? I will be able to make a lot of money in the future. How can I do this?"

Seeing this, Yan Bugui and the third aunt said no more. They had fulfilled their duty of reminder. Even if they regretted it in the future, it would not be their business.
