Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

After having lunch in the factory cafeteria at noon, he went to Taihe City with Long Xu.

On the long-distance bus, Li Youcai closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.

However, Long Xu was so excited that he didn't even feel sleepy.

I stared blankly at the green fields outside the car window.

When they were sent to the countryside to work, there were so many fields where they stayed. In the summer, they were all green at a glance.

At that time, he liked being with Liu Meng the most. Even if he was asked to weed in the fields under the scorching sun, he felt happy.

But after everyone came back, it seemed like everything had changed.

I became anxious and more competitive.

Liu Meng's family used some unknown connection to send Liu Meng to the No. 1 Primary School under the Mining Bureau to be a teacher.

Since then, Liu Meng rarely contacted him, and the other party's attitude was quite indifferent when he met Liu Meng several times.

Ever since he became a rag collector, Liu Meng never took the initiative to meet him again.

The clever Long Xu understood why this happened.

Since ancient times, the rich are matched with the rich, and the poor are matched with the poor. How can a rag collector like him be worthy of the people's teacher?

The bus bumped along the way and finally arrived at the bus station.

Li Youcai took a nap in the car and felt very energetic.

Although he had never been to the warehouse, Li Youcai often hung out near the bus station when he started selling goods in his previous life, so he was familiar with every warehouse here.

Wang Qiang just described to him how to get there, and Li Youcai found the location easily.

Seeing Li Youcai coming, Wang Qiang led Dalin and the salesmen all ran out of the house.

"Brother Cai! You're here."

"Brother Cai!"

"Director."

Seeing that Dalin had arrived, Li Youcai nodded to him.

Wang Qiang also saw Long Xu, and then looked down at him holding the familiar work clothes in his hand, and Wang Qiang suddenly understood everything.

Wang Qiang thought that Brother Cai would recruit this skinny young man, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"Thank you everyone."

Li Youcai greeted everyone with a smile, then looked at Wang Qiang and Dalin and said, "I'll send someone over here. This is Long Xu, a local from Taihe City who knows the city well."

"From now on, Dalin will be the manager of this branch, and Long Xu will be the deputy manager. You two must work together to make this branch a success."

Dalin didn't know that Brother Cai was going to assign him a deputy manager, and Wang Qiang had never mentioned it to him before.

His eyes couldn't help but look at Long Xu.

"Hello, Manager Lin, I am Long Xu. Please take care of me in the future." Long Xu took the initiative to extend his hand and spoke very politely.

“Work together, work hard together.”

Although Long Xu looked skinny and his clothes were shabby, Dalin did not underestimate him. He even asked Brother Cai to deliver him personally and designated him as the deputy manager. This young man must have something special.

After the brief introduction, Li Youcai took a tour of the place.

The warehouse was still relatively cool, but the side room was extremely hot and stuffy.

Li Youcai only stayed inside for a while and felt that it was even more stuffy than outside.

"It's not even the hottest days of summer yet, and the room is already stuffy. If it does, it'll probably be even hotter." Li Youcai looked at Wang Qiang and said, "Get two electric fans, and keep some extra sour plum soup on hand to cool you down."

Wang Qiang nodded. He had been busy with the distribution of goods these days and had not had time to solve the problem of the working environment. "Well, I will buy it back as soon as possible."

After sending Long Xu off, Li Youcai did not stay at the outlet for too long. He returned to the bus station and returned to Teng County.

Long Xu spent an afternoon at the outlet and learned a lot from Wang Qiang.

I have a basic understanding of the current work content of the outlets.

When he got off work in the evening, Wang Qiang called Long Xu.

"I'll treat you and Dalin to a welcome party tonight. From now on, we'll all be eating from the same pot, so we should get to know each other better."

Long Xu smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Wang."

"Don't call me Director Wang. From now on, just call me Brother Qiang like them." Outsiders called him Director Wang, and his own people called him Brother Qiang. Although Long Xu had just joined, Wang Qiang could see that Brother Cai respected this person very much, so he treated Long Xu as his own.

"Brother Qiang."

"now it's right."

There is a state-owned restaurant not far from the bus station. Wang Qiang took Dalin, Long Xu and his salesmen to have a big meal together.

Everyone is really tired these days.

Need to relax.

The table was full of wine and meat, and everyone was eating and drinking to their heart's content with smiles on their faces. Long Xu was also infected by this atmosphere.

Drink wine in big gulps and eat meat in big mouthfuls.

By the time he left the restaurant, his steps were a little unsteady.

"How is it? Can you still walk?"

"Why don't you just stay at home and come to the dormitory with us for the night." Dalin, his face flushed from drinking, said while pulling Long Xu.

Long Xu took a deep breath, regained his composure, and stayed awake.

"I told my family I was going to Teng County today. If I didn't come back at night, they would miss me. Besides, my home is not far away, so it's only a short walk away."

Long Xu insisted on going home.

He wanted to share the good news of his new job with his family.

Moreover, he has to go to the scrap recycling company tomorrow to complete the resignation procedures.

"Okay then, just be careful on the road." Seeing this, Dalin didn't stop him.

Maybe because of fatigue, Wang Qiang fell asleep directly after drinking. It took several people to carry him back to the dormitory.

Long Xu left the restaurant and walked towards home step by step.

The breeze blowing on his face made Long Xu feel much more awake.

"Long Xu?"

"It's really you, why are you here?"

Before Long Xu could see clearly who was calling him, a familiar figure jumped in front of him and patted his shoulder.

Only then did Long Xu see clearly that the person who called him was Han Shuang, who had cut in line with him.

Just about to speak.

Han Shuang turned around and shouted in the other direction, "Liu Meng! Look, we've run into Long Xu."

When Long Xu heard Liu Meng's name, his heart tightened and he became more sober.

Looking at the familiar figure slowly walking towards him, Long Xu said nothing.

"It's you. Why did you drink so much? I can smell the alcohol from far away." Liu Meng walked closer and saw that Long Xu looked drunk. His handsome brows couldn't help but frowned.

It wasn't that she didn't see Long Xu just now, she just wanted to pretend not to see him. In Liu Meng's opinion, Long Xu and she would no longer have any intersection.

How could a rag collector be worthy of her?

But I didn't expect that Han Shuang, who had a loud voice, would not only go over to talk to Long Xu when she saw him, but also call her out.

"The leader treated me, so I drank two extra glasses." Long Xu said softly.

"What kind of leader is this? Cheng Kun said that the management of your crappy company is lax. You work without putting in any effort all day long and run away when your name is called. How can your leader still invite you to dinner?" Liu Meng said in surprise.

Hearing this, Long Xu felt even colder in his heart.

Cheng Kun gossiped and slandered him, but Long Xu didn't care at all because Cheng Kun was a complete villain.

But if Liu Meng didn't say this, Long Xu would find it hard to accept.

"What's wrong with this crappy company? It's a head shorter than you teachers?"

"Han Shuang, we'll see each other again sometime. I'm leaving first." After saying that, Long Xu strode away without looking back.

"you!"

Liu Meng was a little angry when she was retorted, but she could do nothing as she looked at Long Xu's back as he left.

"Hey! What's going on? This is..."

Han Shuang was a little confused. When these two were in the team, they were very affectionate and spent every day together. Why did they act like enemies when they met now?
