Chapter 661 He Fangli 1
Obviously Xu Fugui and the others also understood the principle of stopping while they were ahead. After a few words in a whisper, the three of them announced the end of the meeting in Courtyard No. 95.
The residents stood up, carrying their stools and walking home in twos and threes, whispering about tonight's whole-house meeting as they walked.
Zhou Erniu and Liao Cheng both lived in the front yard. They had lost all their dignity tonight. They had planned to gather several other residents who also had young people of working age to force He Daqing to ask Secretary Zhou for help. Although they knew very well that a job outside now cost at least four or five hundred yuan, and in a large factory like the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, a job would cost at least seven or eight hundred yuan, and there was still no demand for it. As long as the word got out that someone was selling a job, it would be immediately bought by someone at a high price.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Erniu, Liao Cheng and others just wanted to get a job for free. In their minds, a big leader like No. 98 could easily get seven or eight jobs with just a few words. Unfortunately, these people were blinded by greed and didn't think about why others would arrange jobs for these seven or eight people? First, they had no friendship or connections, and they didn't even say hello to each other.
Tonight, Director Wang of the neighborhood committee mercilessly ridiculed the young people from Courtyard No. 95 who went to the street office to participate in the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production at the general meeting of the whole courtyard. Just think about the twenty people on the honor roll who will be able to get a regular job quota at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Zhou Erniu and others were not only jealous, but also felt very disappointed. Why were their own children so disappointing?
In the main hall of the He family in the middle courtyard, He Daqing, Fang Dahu and Li Botao sat around the eight-immortal table, drinking tea and smoking while talking in low voices.
Li Botao took a sip of tea, smiled softly and said, "It seems that Xu Fugui is quite smart. He can think of winning people's hearts by showing movies. I came to this courtyard quite late, and usually we just say hello when we meet. Lao He, Lao Fang, you have known Xu Fugui for a long time. Tell me, what is this guy like?"
He Daqing and Fang Dahu looked at each other, and it was He Daqing who spoke up, "Old Li, Xu Fugui was one of the first residents to move into this courtyard. At that time, Lou Bancheng of Lou's Steel Mill bought most of the houses in Courtyard No. 95 to accommodate the skilled workers who worked at Lou's Steel Mill. Xu Fugui worked as a car driver for Lou Bancheng for a few years, but later he learned the technology of projecting movies and became a projectionist at Lou's Steel Mill. His wife was originally a servant in Lou Bancheng's family. Xu Fugui is very smooth, and he is very cunning. I just stay away from him."
Fang Dahu grinned, "At first, Liu Haizhong's eldest son had a fight with Xu's son Damao for some reason. It was originally just a matter between the two children, but later Liu Haizhong also quarreled with Xu Fugui, and Yi Zhonghai came out to take sides, deliberately targeting Xu Fugui. Xu Fugui didn't say anything harsh at the time, but a few days later, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai were deliberately targeted by the workshop supervisors in their respective workshops. They deliberately found faults every day and fined them at every turn. At first, the two guys didn't react. After nearly a month, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong couldn't stand it anymore, so they asked someone to speak well of their respective workshop supervisors. The answer they got was that they had offended people they shouldn't have offended, and they were deliberately dealing with them."
Li Botao asked curiously: "How was this matter resolved later?"
Fang Dahu glanced at He Daqing before continuing, "When the two met, they guessed that it was Xu Fugui who hired someone in Lou's Steel Mill to deal with them, or Yi Zhonghai went to the deaf old lady and asked her to find Xu Fugui. One night, I saw Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong carrying cigarettes and alcohol to Xu Fugui's house, and that was how they dealt with the matter. From then on, the two guys avoided Xu Fugui. However, after the liberation, Lou Bancheng donated the Lou's Steel Mill to the country and began to implement public-private partnerships. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong began to emerge again, while Xu Fugui kept a low profile."
Li Botao couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "It is said that the smaller the temple, the more evil spirits there are, and the shallower the pond, the more turtles there are. Liu Haizhong, that idiot, only knew how to act like an official all day long, but in the end, he didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was, and he sent himself to prison. Now he has gone to the northwest to undergo labor reform, and no one knows where his wife and children have moved to. Yi Zhonghai is now in disgrace, and Yan Bugui has also put himself in prison. I just don't understand. It's obvious that Yan Bugui was jealous of Zhuzi's job before, so he jumped out to make trouble, and ended up getting himself into trouble. Why didn't Zhou Erniu and others have brains and actually used the job quota to make trouble again?"
He Daqing sneered and said, "Zhou Erniu and the others felt that they had more people this time and that I would not dare to offend so many neighbors at once. In their minds, they thought that since I was the manager of the No. 95 courtyard, I should help them solve their problems. But these guys didn't use their brains to think about it. Not to mention that I am just the canteen director of the Security Department Training Base, even the secretary and director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill would not dare to openly assign work to so many people at once. Well, let's not talk about these guys. I guess with Xu Fugui and the other two as managers, there will be a lot of excitement in our courtyard in the future. But I will no longer care about those bullshit things in the courtyard in the future. I called you here today for two things."
Fang Dahu and Li Botao looked at each other and said directly, "Lao He, if you have anything to say, just tell me. If I can help you, I will definitely not refuse."
He Daqing smiled and said, "No matter what, the three of us have been stewards together for a while. I have two vacancies for temporary workers in the cafeteria. Lao Li, you two both have formal jobs, and your children are still young. Lao Fang, your sister-in-law is just taking care of the housework at home. I mean to let your sister-in-law go to work in the cafeteria. I will find a way to make her a formal employee in the future. I plan to give the other vacancy to Aunt Jiang's family. After all, they have been helping to take care of the old lady. Her eldest daughter has not had a job since graduating from junior high school, so let her work in the cafeteria."
Fang Dahu looked at He Daqing excitedly. He really didn't expect that he would take the initiative to give his family a temporary job in the canteen. Now even a temporary job would cost at least 200 yuan.
