Chapter 2276 I'm going to curse you, so what?
a new day
Li Xiangqian packed his bedding early in the morning, ready to go to the city to report for duty.
After everyone else had breakfast, they picked up picks and went to the fields to dig ditches. At that moment, the farm manager found Sun Shaoan, who was already ready to start work.
"Comrade Sun Shaoan, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
Many people stopped at the dormitory entrance.
"Does Director Xie have any new tasks? Our group will definitely be able to complete the production tasks assigned by the farm."
Director Xie patted the young man on the shoulder and smiled broadly.
"Well, this isn't a production task. It's a reward, given your recent hard work and dedication. The steel mill has decided to hire you. Go pack your things now and head back to the city with the fertilizer delivery truck to report for duty. Listen up, everyone has a chance if they work hard."
Sun Shaoan is completely dumbfounded! He didn't sleep well all night, thinking about when he would finally make something of himself, but he never expected the surprise to come so quickly.
"Thank you, Director! I... I'll go pack up right now."
“Wait a minute, Comrade Sun Shaoan. You don’t have any technical skills. If you get into the factory, you’ll start as an apprentice. If you don’t perform well, you’ll be sent back. After all, the most important thing is where the job suits you… After all, serving the people has no distinction of high or low status, it just depends on what kind of work you’re suited for.”
Sun Shaoan nodded emphatically and ran to pack his luggage. The others, seeing that Sun Shaoan had been recruited into the steel rolling mill, were all incredibly excited... after all, they also wanted to work in the factory.
Lin Chen saw this as an opportunity: it would allow him to both make arrangements for Sun Shaoan and motivate the educated youth.
It's not just about connections that gets you ahead; as long as you're hardworking and resilient, you'll have a chance.
When Sun Shaoan appeared at the warehouse entrance carrying his luggage, Li Xiangqian was completely stunned!
The two young men looked at each other, and Sun Shaoan couldn't suppress the smile on his face. Li Xiangqian, on the other hand, frowned so deeply that he could trap a mosquito in his brow. He really couldn't understand why the other man was carrying luggage like him.
If you didn't know better, you'd think Sun Shaoan was there to see Li Xiangqian off!
"Sun Dachui, what do you mean? Where are you going? Have you been sent back to your hometown in Yuanxi? I told you, a youth representative like you isn't qualified to come to the farm! Go back to your village and dig in the fields!"
Although Sun Shaoan had already stated that he would no longer compete with him for Tian Yezi, Li Xiangqian's humiliation from being beaten twice was not so easily forgotten. Whenever he had the chance, he would still mock Sun Shaoan...
"Li Gulu, are you out of your mind?! You think you're the only one who can get into the factory and everyone else can't? Let me tell you, the steel rolling mill doesn't belong to your family, Li. You coward! I'm also going to the steel rolling mill to learn the technology..."
When Li Xiangqian heard that the other party dared to call him a coward, he immediately jumped up.
"Try saying that again?"
"You coward...you big coward, so what if I cursed you?"
Li Xiangqian was completely exasperated! He knew this bastard was doing it on purpose, beating him up and then lying to him about quitting. It was all a delaying tactic, just to avoid being dealt with.
He couldn't win a fight, and he couldn't win an argument. Li Xiangqian was almost in tears...
Just then, Li Erbao, who had just finished unloading the fertilizer, was frantically shaking the cart, but he couldn't lift it up in one go.
This GAZ truck is an old, beat-up machine from several years ago! It's always a bit difficult to start...
GAZ truck
Li Erbao, still fuming, waved to the two men arguing at each other at the warehouse entrance.
"You two come over here and lend a hand. What are you looking at? Don't you have any sense of propriety? Do you even want to get into the city?"
Li Xiangqian is most familiar with rocking the tractor, after all, he plays with tractors every day.
"Comrade, you've arrived. Take a rest and let me handle this. I'm the driver..."
This time, Sun Shaoan didn't try to take it from the other party, since he wasn't good at that anyway.
But to Sun Shaoan's surprise, Li Xiangqian failed to get the weapon working for two consecutive rounds.
Seeing that Li Xiangqian was actually bragging, Li Erbao impatiently pushed him away and snatched the crank handle.
"Go away and cool off somewhere else. Big guy, come here and let's shake it together."
Sun Shaoan burst out laughing when he saw Li Xiangqian's discomfiture.
"Hey, I'll help you. Let's show this guy what it means to work wonders with brute force..."
As Sun Shaoan predicted, great effort indeed produced miracles. The two young men, working together, managed to get it moving in one go…
Li Erbao put away the crank and got into the car: "Alright, alright, you sit in the passenger seat with me! Let him sit in the back; he's all talk and no action."
Li Xiangqian was so angry he almost vomited blood. My goodness, this actually works? Do you know I had to warm up the engine first? Otherwise, you two wouldn't have been able to get it going even if you worked your butts off.
Although he was resentful, he didn't dare offend Li Erbao. He had no choice but to obediently climb into the carriage…
And so Li Erbao led Sun Dachui and Li Gulu into Beijing.
……
In the city of Beijing
Lin Chen is proposing the expansion of Hongxing Middle School and High School.
The steel rolling mill applied for local approval, and the Dongcheng District approved it.
This was something Lin Chen and Xiang Nanfang could discuss and resolve in no time.
The steel mill will help expand the existing Hongxing Primary School, which will keep the logistics department's engineering team busy for more than half a year.
The Lin family has more and more children now, so it's best if they all go to school here in the future...
As for the two young men who came to the factory today, Lin Chen had already made arrangements. Li Xiangqian went to Jiudaowanzi, and Sun Shaoan went to the courtyard to become Liu Haizhong's apprentice.
After Da Chui joined Liu Haizhong's group, Er Pang's position as Er Da's second uncle became even more secure. From now on, anyone who dared to challenge him would be beaten up...
After taking care of these matters, Lin Chen left the steel rolling mill under the pretext of running errands.
When Secretary Lin reappeared, he was already at the Hong Kong Island Police Station, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a tie, with a cigar in his hand—Boss Lin!
The telegram couldn't clearly explain the matter of the Americans donating grain, so Lin Chen went there in person.
Lin Chen sat at the Chief Superintendent's desk, casually flipping through some documents.
Chief Superintendent Lei hadn't seen his boss for over half a year and thought the boss had forgotten about his small town.
The Lin family deals in large-scale international business, something Superintendent Lei had long heard of. Hong Kong's business is nothing compared to Southeast Asia… after all, there's war going on there! Where there's gunfire, there's money to be made.
"Mr. Lin, it's great to see you in Hong Kong again! Please have a seat! Let me pour you a cup of tea..."
Lin Chen waved to the other person, indicating that he didn't need to trouble himself.
"Come with me to the Lou family's place; I have some things to arrange for you."
"Right away!"
Superintendent Lei immediately picked up the phone and instructed his subordinates to cancel his afternoon meeting and schedule.
