Chapter 542 541 Expectations Failed
After dinner, Liu Qijin settled the bill with the restaurant's chef.

The children wanted to continue playing, but there was nothing they could do since the adults had to leave.

Wang Heping stayed because he had something to talk to the third brother about.

The huge flat went from bustling to quiet in an instant; there were only two brothers.

Wang Yuanchao handed over a cigar, but Wang Heping refused:

"This thing is too thick. It feels like a big Kun Kun when I hold it in my mouth. I'm going to smoke this!"

As he said this, he took out a Daqianmen cigarette from his pocket and lit one up.

Seeing that his second brother didn't want it, Wang Yuanchao made himself a cigar and lit it.

Cigars are much healthier than cigarettes because they are not inhaled into the lungs.

"About your factory?"

Wang Heping exhaled a column of smoke and said:

"Yes, you came to see me yesterday, so you should have seen it. Half of the back has been demolished, and the rest will be completed this year. The factory is almost in a semi-shutdown state now, and people are panicking."

As he spoke, he took another deep puff, and half of the cigarette was gone.

"Did it demolish it directly?" Wang Yuanchao asked.

"Yes." Wang Heping nodded, "Li Huaide resigned on his own initiative, Director Yang became the director again, and a secretary was transferred from above. As for me, thanks to your relationship, I became the first deputy director.

But the good times did not last long. At the end of 79, the city held a meeting to expropriate the land in Shizipo, and our factory also had to relocate.

The road from Dongzhimen to the Agricultural Exhibition Hall must be opened. You can't just take the "slanting road" (referring to the diagonal street outside Dongzhimen) as soon as you leave Dongzhimen. There is no right way.

High-rise residential buildings can be built facing the street, and multi-story residential buildings can be built on the south side.

We are said to be relocating, but in fact we are going to be taken over by Shougang. Our steel ingots have always been provided by Shougang.”

Shougang is a good company and it still has at least a few decades of glory days ahead of it.

"What do you think?"

Wang Heping smiled:

"What can I think? Either I move with the factory, or I will quit my job like Li Huaide did."

Wang Yuanchao also laughed and said:

"You don't have any ideas yourself, so what are you talking to me about?"

Wang Heping said awkwardly:

"Hey, you just don't understand which one is better? It would be fine if you didn't come back, but now that you're back, why don't you ask our Wang family's Great Zhuge? Isn't that a waste of your trip?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"If you move with the factory, what will happen to you? Will your position and benefits be retained? Or will you be transferred to another organization?"

Wang Heping was also unambiguous and said:
"Our secretary talked to me and he also hoped that I would move there. After all, I have been in the factory for so many years, so I still have a lot of influence, right?

If you pass, your position and remuneration in the branch factory will remain unchanged. They implement a strict contract responsibility system. If your performance is good, you can move up and there is a chance for you to join the main factory.

The main factory is very large, with tens of thousands of employees.

Of course, I also know that if I enter the main factory, I can just listen to it.”

Wang Yuanchao immediately grasped the sensitive point:
"Your secretary? From Shougang?"

Wang Heping nodded:

"I guess this has been planned for a long time!"

Wang Yuanchao asked:

“If you don’t want to go back to the past, what is your concern, or what you dislike the most?”

Wang Heping scratched his head and said with a guilty conscience:
"I don't know what level I am, your brother. Don't you know? I am not a steel major. I am worried that I won't be able to manage their strict management. Wouldn't I lose your people?
Also, the factory is going to move to Shijingshan, which is more than 20 kilometers away from home. If it really moves there, I will have to go back home on weekends like my dad.

Well, maybe your sister-in-law and I can move over, but she will obviously have to pay more attention and take care of the children."

Wang Yuanchao laughed out loud. After so many years, his second brother was still a little homesick and was reluctant to move!
"That's it?
You are asked to manage people, not to do work? Being a cadre is not easy, there are people below you to help you do everything, right? "

Wang Heping twisted his body and said:

"It's different, really. It's really different from when Director Li was here."

That’s of course different. In the past, professional things were nonsense, and nonsense things were professional.

Now that the bit has been put on, it's time to get professional.

Wang Yuanchao said:

"What do you think if you quit your job?"

Wang Heping said shyly:

"Didn't you say you wanted to build a hotel? I'll help you." Wang Yuanchao didn't expect that his second brother was waiting for him here.

"You are even less capable of running a hotel. This is a job of serving people, and you have to serve them professionally. It is even harder than being a cadre in a steel mill."

Wang Heping's face fell. It wasn't that he felt that his third brother was rejecting him, but he knew that what his third brother said was most likely the truth.

Wang Yuanchao continued:

"Well, I think you should continue to work in the steel mill and accumulate more social connections. Like you said, this is a large factory with tens of thousands of people!
If you can run up, run up.

If you can't do it anymore, I'll show you another way then.

Otherwise, you would have to go to Pengcheng now before I can help you."

Wang Heping's face became long. He ran to Pengcheng???
He immediately said:

"Forget it, forget it. I won't bother with that anymore. I'll just listen to you. There's nothing wrong with listening to you anyway."

As long as his sons study hard and don't learn bad things, the third brother will take care of their future life events. So Wang Heping has no pressure at all in this regard.

His youngest son, Wang Yilai, was born in February 76. He will be in the first grade next year. He has a bunch of older brothers and sisters, so he doesn't have to worry about them. When the time comes, he and his wife can move directly to the factory dormitory and come back home on weekends.

Without the pressure of supporting a family and with their children grown up, it wasn't a big problem for the couple to move with the factory.

As for the acquisition of the steel mill, Shougang is not doing charity and is unwilling to take over all the old, weak and sick employees.

Those who are retired will be directly given a pension buyout, and those who are still working will be subject to assessment. Those who fail will be given another chance to retake the exam, and those who fail will be directly dismissed. Of course, you can also voluntarily resign and leave with a severance pay.

You know, many old employees live near the steel rolling mill, and not everyone has a dormitory after moving to Shijingshan.

Commuting dozens of kilometers to and from get off work every day, those who ride bicycles will be exhausted, and those who can't ride bicycles will have to squeeze into the bus every day. After moving there, the new factory has strict requirements and will fine you!
The two brothers chatted for a while, and Wang Yuanchao talked to his second brother about the real estate industry and the sports industry.

In real estate, relationships are the primary productive force. As for the sports industry, you can go to Hong Kong at any time to learn advanced experience from him. As for other things, Wang Heping may not be able to get started.

These were the two industries that Wang Yuanchao later let his second brother engage in.

Wang Heping was very interested and felt that it was very much in line with his personal characteristics and preferences.

But as the third brother said earlier, if you want to work in the real estate industry now, you will probably have to go to Pengcheng, where there is a lot of construction work.

He was a little conflicted.

He just said that he would go home and discuss it with his wife.

When it really comes to pass, will it be alone or as a couple?

Should I go now, or wait two years until the child is older?

If we go there now, is it okay to leave the child completely to the parents?
These are all problems and we cannot draw conclusions easily.

Finally, Wang Heping was ready to go back, and Wang Yuanchao asked him to stay here overnight and go with the main force early tomorrow morning.

Wang Heping wanted to sleep in this big building, but he refused and said:
"We have to send Wang Li off to marry tomorrow. Unlike you guys, you can just go to the small courtyard."

Seeing his second brother say this, Wang Yuanchao stopped talking nonsense, took the car keys, and went downstairs to see him off.
-
Wang Li’s wedding day was Sunday, and many people had the day off, but the young people in the taxi company had already made shift changes.

Changing shifts does not mean not going to work, it means working the earlier shift.

The more holidays there are, the less rest they have, and sometimes they even have to work in double shifts.

The morning shift is from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the night shift is from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m., with an hour break for lunch, but basically no one is willing to take a break. If you work harder to achieve results, not only will you get higher income and commission, but you will also be ranked higher and it will be easier to get promoted!

Who wants to drive a Sea Lion when you can drive a Crown?

The drivers work in two shifts, the maintenance team works in three shifts. The night shift is also responsible for maintaining and inspecting the vehicles. Every day when the drivers change shifts, they must report the vehicle condition and register the handover. Such a large asset cannot tolerate the slightest carelessness.

Compared with previous drivers, they are already very fortunate as they do not have to repair their vehicles themselves.

Since Wang Li is getting married, she will definitely need a car, so these neighbors made an appointment with Wang Li for a car early on. It doesn't matter whose car they are booking, right?
Well, I mainly want to see Wang Li’s third brother, the big boss Wang Yuanchao.

What if they can get closer? If the big boss is happy, maybe they can drive a Crown sooner with just one word, right?

They coordinated the morning and evening shifts with their colleagues early in the morning, waiting for the opportunity to chat with Boss Wang.

But Wang Li's marriage does not require so many cars, so if she cannot use the cars, she can only switch to the night shift. She hopes that in the morning when she is not at work, she can see Boss Wang sending her bride off in the compound!

The car Wang Li used for her wedding was also simple, a Crown wedding car and two yellow Hiace vans for transporting people.

The Crown driver was arranged by the taxi company, and the van driver was Xiao Dang. It was hard to refuse the neighbors' kindness, and she couldn't refuse too bluntly.

Wang Li did not dare to go to the Yan brothers' house. After all, the brothers' ex-sister-in-law, Yu Li, was still living in the small courtyard with her baby.

The brothers of the Yan family were not suitable, and the brothers of the Liu family were not suitable either. So the brothers and sisters of the Jia family took advantage of this. After all, their uncle is the second brother Wang Heping, so they are all relatives, right?
Moreover, when Yu Li divorced, Bang Geng and Xiao Dang were still children, so even if they had some impression of Li, it would not be as deep as that of the Yan brothers. Moreover, so many years have passed.

Besides, the driver doesn’t have to take the car inside, just drop it off at the door.

At around 8 o'clock, the groom Meng Xiaozhong arrived in a Crown car.

But they were destined to be disappointed. Wang Yuanchao didn't come to see the bride off at all!

He and his entire family went straight to the small courtyard.
