Chapter 783 This Smoke Is Quite Strong

"I said, let's have a big pot of food for the lunch reception! What happened to the promise of free drinking? Not even half a bottle of Erlezi?"

"Be quiet! They said that lunch is a working meal, no drinking is allowed, and they will prepare a big banquet for us at night."

"What big banquet? You look stingy. Well, this big pot of food tastes okay."

The lunch prepared by Changbei Machinery Company for the visitors is to eat with ordinary employees in the staff canteen.

Although the food is more abundant than that of ordinary employees, it is only at the level of "small stir-fry", not a "banquet" of normal reception level.

If it is not a banquet, there is naturally no wine, so the "free drinking and free punishment" promised by Lu Zhizhang to everyone cannot be fully realized.

But only a few people who are greedy for wine, such as Master Mu, are not very happy, and the minds of others are not on these appetites at all.

Everyone is eating their two meat and two vegetable dishes while observing the workers eating together around them.

Most of the people eating in the cafeteria here are young people, and they are just joining the company not long ago.

It's just that everyone in the workshop saw that these children are not "inexperienced", and they are all working hard!

In less than a year, these children can be employed. Not to mention that their training and management methods are not advanced, just the speed of expanding production must be praised by Master Mu and others.

Of course, there are middle-aged people in the workshop. More than half of the team leaders are still middle-aged, but they only account for 10% at most.

When eating now, these middle-aged people are also more respected. They are called "Master Sun" and "Master Yang" by a group of young people, and they are given seats.

"Look at their mental state. Not bad."

"Yeah, very polite."

Master Mu and others looked at it for a while and felt much more at ease.

Seeing the rapid expansion of Changbei Machinery Factory, everyone is full of expectations for the future. Everyone is Hong Kong-funded. Isn't Changbei Machinery Company today the future of Light Automobile Company?

But if a bunch of youngsters are allowed to ride on the heads of old workers and shout orders like the young generals in previous years, they really can't stand it.

No matter what, they are all masters with "two unique skills"!

After working hard for decades in the unit, now they feel useless and let a bunch of kids climb on their heads. That's too depressing.

"Hey, Master Mu, can you go over and talk to those masters and find out how much they earn every month?"

"Tsk, it's not easy! Deputy Manager Wang just said that it is not recommended to exchange salary income within the unit."

"Not recommended, not not allowed! We can't always rely on Director Lu to find out for us. He is the director. If there are benefits, he can't bear his share. We are the poor ones who are neither up nor down."

After Master Mu and others felt at ease, they were concerned about another important issue.

Just now, everyone in the workshop wanted to ask the front-line workers about their wages, but they were softly rejected with "the unit does not recommend exchanging income".

Because Wang Qinshan and several accompanying personnel were present, Master Mu and others did not ask too much, so they wanted Director Lu to talk to him! Director Lu did not comment.

But the more you don't ask such questions, the more itchy you feel, right?

After finishing the meal, Wang Qinshan provided two options for the visitors.

One is to go to the unit's auditorium to watch a movie, and then go to work in the afternoon to continue the visit.

The second is to go to the unit's guesthouse for a lunch break. The room beds are ready, which can be said to be very considerate.

"Then let's go to the movies!"

"What movie? It can't be "South and North War", right? I've seen it so many times."

"Of course not, they said it was Li Lianjie's movie "North and South Shaolin" last year. I didn't watch it last year, so I saved money on the movie ticket?"

"Old Fan, you are so stingy! You have been frugal all your life and live like a beggar. There must be a hole in the sole of your shoe."

"."

After leaving the cafeteria, the group basically chose to go to the movies, but the auditorium in Changbei is in the old factory area, and you have to pass the old playground when you go there.

At this time, everyone found that many energetic young employees did not go back to the dormitory to rest, but were playing basketball, table tennis, and badminton.

Master Mu was moved and suggested to Lu Zhizhang: "Director Lu, I also liked playing table tennis when I was young. Why don't I go and play a few hands with them! We will all be brothers in the future, so let's improve our friendship!"

Lu Zhizhang glanced at Master Mu and agreed with a smile: "Then go! Don't walk around! We will gather here in the playground in the afternoon."

"Then don't worry, I promise you won't get lost."

Master Mu left everyone and went to the table tennis table. He found that Master Lao Miao also followed him silently, and there were also a few "smart" colleagues.

Everyone smiled at each other and understood tacitly.

Are they playing to improve their friendship?

Of course not, they want to get the information they want by improving their friendship.

Master Mu took out a cigarette box and distributed cigarettes to several young people watching the game.

"What are your surnames, brothers?"

"Oh, my surname is Tang, his surname is Qin"

"Qin Han Datang, this surname is amazing, haha, brothers, you guys are going to work overtime this Sunday, and you didn't go back to the dormitory to rest at noon, are you tired? Can your body bear it?"

"Oh, thank you, thank you. We can work up to two hours of overtime every day. The manager of Hong Kong Island won't let me do more overtime. I won't be tired."

Several young people quickly took the cigarettes. Xiao Tang also took out his own cigarette case and handed one to Master Mu.

Speaking of young workers these days, nine out of ten smoke, because they have been smoking for more than ten years.

There are a lot of cigarettes in Dad's cigarette case. If you want to steal one to taste it, you have to be mentally prepared for your butt to explode.

So after suddenly making money on your own, you must first buy a box of Big Qianmen to enjoy it. Some arrogant guys even took it out in front of their dad and made a smoke ring to show off.

Don't be afraid, as soon as you start making money, you will become one of the pillars of the family. Dad will never slap you again, but will reason with you.

[Look, my family has provided you with food, drink, and education for so many years. You have earned money, so why don’t you pay some living expenses to your family? 】

Seeing that a group of young people were very polite, Master Mu, Master Miao and others felt more at ease.

Several master chefs in the factory, led by Master Tan, are all rumoring that Li Ye wants to "disrespect" the master, but look at them, they don't disrespect the master either!

Master Tan took the cigarette and said jokingly: "Hey, Peony Yan, little brother, your living standard is not low! Don't you need to save money to marry a wife?"

Xiao Tang said with a naive smile: "Smoking doesn't cost much, and marrying a wife doesn't cost much either."

"Hey, little brother, you have such a strong tone."

Master Mu exaggeratedly said: "You have a different wife now than we did at that time. She has forty-eight legs, and if she doesn't have a thousand-year-old daughter, she won't be able to get her."

Xiao Tang was stunned and said in surprise: "How much is one thousand? How is that enough? A 70 motorcycle costs four or five thousand!"

"Pfft~, cough cough cough~"

Master Mu blew a puff of smoke out of his nostrils, and the pungent taste made him, an old smoker, cough uncontrollably.

70 motorcycles!

A 70 motorcycle that costs three to four thousand first hand and several times more second hand!

When did it become the standard for marriage?

Another young worker, Xiao Qin, embarrassedly took out a box of gold leaf cigarettes and said, "This peony cigarette is a bit strong, master, why don't you smoke mine!"

"No, no, no, I like strong ones."

Master Mu touched his lips with his hand, and then asked: "In Changping, is it now popular to buy a motorcycle when getting married?"

Xiao Qin, who was drawing gold leaves, said quickly: "No, master, don't listen to him, he just wants to buy a motorcycle, it's just bragging."

"Why am I bragging? How am I bragging?"

Xiao Tang immediately said unhappily: "Look at Er Niu, Chang Shuan, and Hong Xia who got married this year. Didn't they all buy motorcycles? If you have the ability, don't buy them. Let's see if you can find a partner."

Xiao Qin curled his lips: "I won't buy it. My mother said, if you want to fuck fast, buy one and kick me."

"If you tell me again, I'll break up with you!"

"If we break our relationship, we'll break it. Anyway, I won't lend you money to buy a motorcycle."

"I'm only a thousand and a half short. You withdraw your regular payment and I'll pay you the interest."

"No, if you fall by then"

"Can you think of me a little? Are we still brothers?"

"It's because of my brother that I won't let you buy it."

"If you don't help me, I will be a year and a half late. Humph, you have a 70-year-old car and sit with a girl holding your arms. You will never understand."

"."

Seeing Xiao Tang and Xiao Qin bickering, Master Mu couldn't help but swallow.

Two kids in their twenties were discussing buying a motorcycle. Isn't this magical?

Shouldn't this be a big deal for the whole family to discuss? Why do two stupid kids seem to be able to decide on their own?

Others don't know, but Master Mu knows that his own family can't raise the money to buy a motorcycle. Even if he has the connections to get a first-hand one, it will cost more than 4,000 yuan!

But what Xiao Qin said next made Master Mu even more uneasy.

"Tang Guodong, why do you insist on buying a motorcycle? My mother said that it is better for you to buy a house than a car. The newly built welfare housing in our unit will be capped soon.

For the money you spend on buying a motorcycle, you can buy a 60-square-meter apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. With two bedrooms and one living room, are you still afraid that Haiyan will run away? "

"."

Xiao Tang was stunned and said angrily: "Who said Haiyan is going to run away? I am just a pauper, and she will follow me all her life."

Xiao Qin said dullly: "Then you might as well ask Haiyan directly if she would like to ride a motorcycle with you! Or would she rather live with you in two bedrooms and one living room?

Now Hongxia is noisy all day long and doesn't want to live with her mother-in-law! Your Haiyan is more powerful than Hongxia, so you can take care of it yourself. "

"."

"Cough cough cough cough~"

Master Mu coughed again.

He is fifty-three years old and has devoted thirty-five years to the company, and he has not yet lived in a two-bedroom apartment!

What a life it must be like for the couple to have two rooms and one living room to themselves!

No matter how much noise you make at night, you don't have to worry about your parents coughing, right?

No matter how much my wife yells, the children won't learn bad things, right?

"Xiao Mu, give me a cigarette."

Master Miao suddenly patted Master Mu on the shoulder and asked him for a cigarette.

Master Mu hurriedly lit one for him. After he finished lighting one, he said, "Master Miao, didn't you quit smoking?"

Master Miao sprayed an eye circle and said quietly: "How much does it cost to smoke?"
