Chapter 93 Surprise

May 5st is Labor Day, and it is also the day when Wang Gensheng becomes a disciple of Mr. Xu and performs the apprenticeship ceremony.

Early in the morning on this day, Wang Gensheng carried 5 kilograms of pork in one hand and a big fish in the other.

This was the stipend of the ancient worshippers.

If the family conditions were not very good, they could just carry a few pounds of meat. Wang Gensheng thought that since there was fish every year, it would be better, so he carried both.

Anyway, the fish in his house are all produced in the system's small ponds, and he doesn't have to spend money to buy them.

Old Master Xu was quite satisfied with his apprentice Wang Gensheng.

The observation took about half a year. First, three months were spent on observing his character, and then another three months were spent letting him copy to see his patience.

In the end, his writing skills finally passed the eyes of Mr. Xu, who thought Wang Gensheng was a promising talent. He was also able to endure loneliness.

That's why the old man sent out invitations widely, wanting to accept him as his last disciple, and asked his friends and disciples to come to his house to watch the ceremony of becoming his apprentice whenever they were free.

First, he listened to Sister Xu reading out the rules of becoming an apprentice, and then Wang Gensheng solemnly bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and the next step was to serve tea to the master.

When all the ceremonies were completed, Wang Gensheng was accepted into the sect.

Old Master Xu smiled and led Wang Gensheng to greet his good friends, and asked his old friends to take care of him when they met in the future.

When meeting the big names in the literary world, Zheng Shuang was not at all nervous and performed the whole set of greetings and toasts smoothly.

After meeting old friend Xu, Sister Xu took Wang Gensheng to meet his fellow disciples.

The oldest is over 40 years old, and the youngest is only 10 years old. They are the descendants of Mr. Xu's side branch.

Although he nominally took the old man as his master, he never performed the apprenticeship ceremony, so he can be considered a disciple of the later generation.

You can say he is Wang Gensheng’s junior fellow apprentice, or you can say he is Wang Gensheng’s nephew.

However, it all depends on how one practices in the future. If one has outstanding skills, he can be considered a senior and enjoy the glory of a famous teacher.

Skills learned are average, then haha

Many fellow disciples knew that Wang Gensheng was the old man's last disciple, and they were polite to him.

Maybe it was because of Mr. Xu’s background, or maybe it was because the wheat harvest season was approaching.

The purchasing department of the steel rolling mill was short of staff, so they transferred Wang Gensheng's job through Ms. Xu from the personnel department.

Let him keep accounts for the buyers in the purchasing department. In this way, Wang Gensheng will have more freedom during his working hours and he only needs to verify the accounts every day.

In fact, he didn't have to report to the steel mill, because the job of buyers usually involved making a statistics of the purchasing volume once a week.

There are only about 3 to people in the entire purchasing department. Now it is the wheat harvest season, so three recorders are needed at the same time.

Each person is responsible for the accounts of 10 buyers and records each person's grain purchasing volume and business volume.

The person Wang Gensheng followed today was Brother Chang.

Yesterday, Brother Chang had a quarrel with a purchasing agent from another factory.

The two men went to purchase food at the same time with the same fellow villager. After the battle, Brother Chang finally won.

However, he spent 7 cents to get the corn flour that originally cost 8 cents per pound, and bought 100 pounds from his fellow villager.

Today, Wang Gensheng is needed to go over and settle the accounts for him.

Some people say that 100 kilograms of corn flour may not seem like a lot? But this salesperson can guarantee a fixed quantity of 100 kilograms a day, which is enough in that era.

If you perform well, you can also get praise from your leader.

Another benefit of following the buyer around to keep accounts is that you don’t have to pay for your meals.

What? You can’t eat in the factory cafeteria.

However, the salesperson’s daily dining out expenses can still be reimbursed.

Today, Wang Gensheng and Lao Chang ate two big steamed buns and drank a bowl of soy milk. In this era, this standard of food is considered delicious.

After Brother Chang finished paying the bill, he patted Wang Gensheng on the shoulder and smiled as he took out a dollar to pay for it.

"Brother, I have to go to the countryside at noon. Take this dollar and prepare your own lunch."

The day was getting hot again, and under the warm sunshine, Wang Gensheng suddenly felt like he was back to the time when he just started working last year.

I always feel lazy and want to find a place to have a good sleep in the sun.

After eating and drinking, I locked my bicycle, lay down in the sun and slept until almost noon.

After thinking about it, I decided to use the dollar to buy a box of Zhonghua filter cigarettes, which cost me a little over 7 cents.

I rode my bike to the factory to find Director Zhao.

I knocked on Director Zhao's office door and only entered the office after getting Director Zhao's permission.

Director Zhao is a deputy director-level leader in the steel rolling mill. He is very busy at work every morning. Now that it is almost noon, it is a good time for him to take a break.

Director Zhao also has a habit, which is that he always wants to take a few puffs of cigarette during breaks.

Wang Gensheng arrived just in time and took the opportunity to pull out a box of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over, which made Director Zhao's eyes light up and a smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, Wang Gensheng, I heard that you have become Mr. Xu's disciple?"

Wang Gensheng was very smart. He stepped forward, took out a match, and lit a cigarette for Director Zhao in a flattering manner.

He smiled and said, "Yes, I came here to thank you for your guidance, which gave me the opportunity to become Mr. Xu's disciple. Isn't this the first time I came to thank you?"

Director Zhao took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand, squinted his eyes, and savored the taste of the cigarette. He then exhaled gently and flicked the ash.

"You are the one who has this talent, otherwise why doesn't the old man accept someone else?"

This was a compliment, and Wang Gensheng just smiled and nodded. In fact, Director Zhao still had a good impression of Wang Gensheng.

Director Zhao also comes from a family of scholars and attended a private school before liberation.

Although I occasionally met Mr. Xu, we were only aware of his fame.

The handwriting Wang Gensheng wrote during his first job rating assessment

I thought his handwriting was very elegant, and it reflected his personality. Later, I heard that he had a close relationship with Section Chief Xu of the Human Resources Department, so I made a comment.

If Wang Gensheng could learn calligraphy from a master, it would be a good choice.

This kid was able to listen to advice. He immediately used Sister Xu's relationship and successfully became Xu's apprentice, proving that he had the reputation of being a good talent scout.

After all, this guy is half one of ours, and Director Zhao is not hiding anything from him.

He smiled and pointed to the stool opposite the office and asked Wang Gensheng to sit in front of him.

"Xiao Wang, how do you feel about this job of accounting in the purchasing department? After Wang Gensheng listened to me, he was stunned for a moment. What did he think of?"

It couldn't be without reason that the big leader paid so much attention to a young man like him.

It also represents the coexistence of appreciation and opportunity!

Is it a blessing or a curse? It all depends on your response level.
