The life of Lao Liu since 1944

In the afternoon, Hou Jie suddenly remembered something and told his younger brother to ask Li Gui to come over. The younger brother took the order and turned around to notify him.

He smiled and lowered his head, and whispered to his wife:

"Chunhua, I'm going to the study first to discuss something with Li Gui. You just wait here for me to come back."

Mu Chunhua nodded knowingly, "Go get busy, husband."

He got up and went to the study to wait, then lay down on the recliner, which was his old habit.

Not long after that, there was a knock on the door.

When Hou Jie learned that Li Gui had arrived, he immediately stood up, respectfully invited him in, and cordially asked him to sit down. Li Gui was not polite either, and directly found a chair to sit down, looking at Hou Jie with bright eyes, waiting for his instructions.

Hou Jie looked at Li Gui with deep eyes and asked in a steady tone: "Comrade Li Gui, have all the people we agreed to meet arrived?"

Li Gui replied respectfully: "Reporting to the young master, they have all arrived and are entering the city in batches according to the plan."

Hou Jie nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction. He knew that the higher-ups attached great importance to this matter, because he was regarded as a god of wealth, and everyone was expecting him to make more requests.

Hou Jie then gently warned, "This matter must be kept confidential and must not be disclosed to anyone else. Tomorrow, you will arrange for them to report directly to the construction site where Niu Ye and others are. They are preparing to start recruiting workers, and this will be a great opportunity for them to gradually adapt and integrate into this place."

Li Gui nodded quickly and said, "I understand, Young Master. I will have them report to the construction site as soon as they arrive tomorrow morning."

Hou Jie continued, "Once the recruitment begins, it will probably cause quite a stir, and all kinds of monsters and demons may show up. With these experienced veterans present, I can feel more at ease."

Hearing this, Hou Jie felt relieved and nodded with satisfaction.

After hearing this, Li Gui was very excited and nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Master. I will do my best to arrange for them."

"I hope to defeat the Nationalist government as soon as possible so that we can live a stable life. I've had enough of living in fear. Don't worry, I'll remember this favor. But if you have any requests, I will do my best to help you. I have confidence in your party."

The two sat in the study, discussing every detail in great detail, making sure that every link was carefully considered and nothing was left out. Li Gui stood up, straightened his robe, and turned to leave.

On the day of the opening ceremony of Yongchang Grain Store, residents of the surrounding communities received an exciting news. They were originally just there to watch the fun, but when they learned that Yongchang planned to recruit a large number of workers to participate in the construction of the dormitory building, they all expressed great interest and expectations.

The news spread quickly, and many people immediately went home to mobilize their relatives, friends, and neighbors to participate. Some families even mobilized the whole family, with the men carrying tools and going to the construction site, leaving the women and children at home to take care of daily chores, helping each other.

Not only that, there were also those residents who were quick-witted and quick-acting. They prepared their bedding rolls in advance and even brought dry food, and rushed to the construction site overnight, hoping to seize the initiative and secure their jobs.

After all, in that era, the welfare conditions provided by Yongchang Grain Store were extremely favorable. Not only were job opportunities rare, but the salaries were also generous. Everyone knew that once they missed it, they might not be able to find a good job for a long time.

"Hey! Have you heard? Yongchang Grain Store is recruiting workers. Have you heard about this news?"

At the street corner, a man who had just returned from doing some business outside announced loudly and excitedly as he entered the door, his face filled with irrepressible joy and anticipation.

Upon hearing the news, a young man who was sitting at the door basking in the sun suddenly became energetic. He stood up suddenly, without even bothering to put on his shoes, and hurried towards Yongchang Grain Store.

"Nonsense! Anyone who doesn't go to such a great place is a fool." He answered as he walked, his words revealing a strong sense of urgency.

"Don't wait there, don't delay, hurry up and go!"

Seeing his reaction, the man frowned slightly, with a hint of annoyance and blame in his tone.

"But your reaction is too big, is it necessary to be so anxious?"

The young man seemed to realize his overreaction when he heard this, but he quickly defended himself:

"Don't be silly. The treatment at Yongchang Grain Store is really good. If you wait until tomorrow, you might not even get a bowl of soup. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have reminded you."

The male protagonist raised his hand and patted his forehead:

"Look at my brain. Thanks to you for reminding me, otherwise I would have missed it."

Before it got dark, the residents around here slowly realized something was wrong. Why were there so many people gathered here in the middle of the night? They were just asking for trouble in such a cold day.

Some of the brave ones came forward to ask for details, but most people chose to avoid it because they were evasive and didn't want to say anything, for fear that they would take away their jobs. After asking several people who "kept the secret" in succession, finally someone who couldn't stand it anymore or was tired of being asked let it slip.

The man who made the confession did not realize that he had inadvertently revealed the "secret," but his confession allowed other neighbors to uncover this seemingly ordinary but hidden news.

He quickly called his family to join the team. It was not easy to find a helper these days. There was a war going on outside, and the people were going crazy for food.

As the news spread, the crowd gathered at the door. Everyone was talking about it, hoping to have a chance to take on this job. The man who first got the news and spread it was also in the crowd, and deep in his heart he was secretly glad that he was able to get this job information in advance.

The next day, when Niu Ye, Lei Ye and other members of the recruitment team arrived at the scene, the scene before them made them gasp. The crowd was surging like a tide, and it was so huge that the end of the line was almost invisible.

"Oh my God. How many people are needed!"

They tried hard to make a path through the crowd, advancing forward with difficulty, and finally entered the construction site after a lot of effort, using the excuse that they were the person in charge of Yongchang and the work clothes they were wearing.

Everyone was willing to give up their place, it was a hard-earned queue. If they were not recruiters, not a fly would be able to get in.

Ma Wu was sweating profusely and almost fainted.

"Why are there so many people? I almost got squeezed into a pancake."

Ma Wu took a breath and quickly got down to work maintaining order on site. He looked around with a determined look in his eyes, ensuring that this complex recruitment process went smoothly.

Two experienced craftsmen, Mr. Niu and Mr. Lei, began to examine each job applicant one by one.

Because there are too many people, they can only raise the standards and increase the number of people when there are not enough.

They asked each person about their work experience in detail, carefully looked at their skill level, and did not miss any candidate who might meet the job requirements. During the communication process, they not only paid attention to the applicant's ability, but also emphasized salary and benefits, striving to attract talents while completing the project progress faster and better.

The entire recruitment process proceeded in an orderly manner, from early morning to dusk.

Although exhausted, Niu Ye, Lei Ye and Ma Wu successfully screened and recruited thousands of outstanding new members from this huge crowd with their tenacious perseverance and efficient execution.
