Chapter 286 The Company Recruits Unemployed Young People

Song Tangtang seemed to be in a bad mood on the way back from Zhu Lin's house. The two of them sat on the bus back. The girl held Fang Minghua's arm tightly and stared blankly at the night outside the window without speaking.

"What's wrong, Tangtang?" Fang Minghua asked gently.

"Sister Zhu Lin is so beautiful and nice, how could she get divorced?"

"Marriage seems to have nothing to do with being beautiful, right?" Fang Minghua said: "As far as marriage is concerned, actors are inherently a high-risk profession. There is less time together and more separation, and emotional turmoil on and off the screen are all marriage killers."

"You mean, Sister Zhu Lin is acting to make love?" Song Tangtang said suddenly.

"I'm not talking about them, I'm just speaking generally."

Song Tangtang said "Oh" and said nothing more.

In fact, in history, wasn't it rumored that Zhu Lin's role as the king of the daughter country had a spark with Xu Shaohua, who played Tang Monk?

Although these were ultimately proven to be false, they probably caused a lot of trouble for both parties at the time.

Life is like this, there are gains and losses.

But these are people's private matters, so others can't help.

Fang Minghua and Song Tangtang spent the Lantern Festival with their grandfather and grandmother before returning to Yanjing.

The girl officially took off her military uniform and transferred to a local job. However, unlike other girls in the art troupe, she did not let the government assign her work. Instead, she chose the path of self-employment, and the government gave her certain financial compensation.

From then on, Song Tangtang officially became the deputy general manager of Shengshi Book Publishing Company, and his salary was naturally much higher than if he had been transferred to another place.

The monthly salary is 360 yuan, not counting quarterly bonus and year-end bonus.

After a year of rapid development, Shengshi Book Publishing Company has begun to expand rapidly. Last year, its operating income reached 7.8 million yuan. However, as a shareholder, Fang Minghua paid a small dividend at the end of the year, only 100,000 yuan. Most of the profits were invested in expanding reproduction. .

The expansion of the company is also accompanied by a rapid expansion of personnel. Today is the company's recruitment day. As the deputy general manager, Song Tangtang is naturally busy with this matter.

Although Fang Minghua has settled down in the Xingfu community outside the south gate, he and Song Tangtang go back to his parents' place for dinner in the evening, and then the young couple rides home.

After getting off work early today, Fang Minghua did not go home directly, but rode to Shengshi Book Company at Duanlumen Cross, preparing to go back with Song Tangtang.

Although it is the end of February, there was a sudden late-spring cold a few days ago, and today it is warm and then cold. When riding on the street, it is still a bit cold when the north wind blows.

Is it time for me to buy a car?

Fang Minghua and Song Tangtang’s workplaces are Duanlumen Cross and Jianguo Road, not far from the Planning Commission Family Building near Xincheng Square where their parents live. It’s more than ten minutes away by bike, but after dinner, they return to the Xingfu Community outside the South Gate. , it takes more than 20 minutes to ride.

It's a cold day, I'm suffering.

I cannot wrong my wife.

If you have money, enjoy it as soon as possible. Anyway, prices are rising sharply now, and money is becoming less and less valuable.

Buy a Santana?

A total of 200,000 yuan with the license is not affordable, but the impact must be considered. After all, I am considered a member of the system and the vice chairman of the Writers Association, so I cannot be too high-profile.

Besides, buying a Santana for 200,000 yuan is really a loss.

That courtyard house in Yanjing only costs 150,000!

I guess Xiali will be launched soon?

Tianjin Xiali is also considered a generation of national car, affordable and durable.

Otherwise, just wait?

Fang Minghua was thinking while riding his bicycle. Soon he arrived at Shengshi Book Company at Duanlumen Cross. As soon as he went upstairs, he found a queue in the corridor. Most of them were young people. It turned out that they were all here to apply for jobs.

In the 1980s, there was a "many": there were many unemployed young people.

When the policy was implemented in the late 1970s, all the tens of millions of young people who had gone to the countryside came back. This quickly resulted in 40 million unemployed people in the city from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. They were called unemployed youth at that time.

It is now the mid-1980s, and the country's economic situation is booming. This problem has been alleviated but has not been completely solved. Tens of millions of new labor force are added every year, and a large number of people have broken free from the shackles of land and poured in because of the household contract system. Migrant workers looking for work in cities are a headache for society and the government.

Therefore, Fang Minghua was not surprised to see so many applicants.

As Fang Minghua looked around, he suddenly found a familiar face in the team.

Lei Xuecheng!

Fang Minghua has known him for many years. The first time was in the spring of 1981, when Fang Minghua won second place in a poetry contest organized by "Contemporary" magazine and met him by chance on the train to Yanjing to receive the award.

This guy actually evaded fares!

After chatting for a while, I found out that he was a literary young man who loved poetry and came to Yanjing specifically to meet Bei Dao, a poet he admired.

Later, after New Year's Day in 1982, when Fang Minghua was still working the night shift, this guy took a little girl to the magazine office to steal books at night, but Fang Minghua caught him on the spot.

But he just taught them a lesson and let them go. Before leaving, he lent him the book he bought.

Later, the young man borrowed books several times and never came back again.

Fang Minghua hadn't seen him for several years and didn't expect to meet him here today.

Lei Xuecheng also saw Fang Minghua, but quickly turned his head to the side and pretended not to see it.

Fang Minghua originally wanted to say hello, but when he saw him smiling like this, he passed by without saying anything.

The recruitment was personally hosted by Zhao Hongjun and Song Tangtang. Fang Minghua did not participate in it. He said that he was just investing. Except for some big matters that needed to be decided, he would not be involved in these specific matters.

Watching the young job applicants nervously answer the questions raised by Zhao Hongjun, Fang Minghua felt a little bored, so he went to the company's editorial room to chat with Lao Jin.

Lao Jin used to be the proofreading editor of "Yanhe" magazine. After his retirement, he was hired by Zhao Hongjun to work as an editor in the company. Because his adopted son was useless, he couldn't find a suitable job and couldn't find a wife, so he had to work part-time.

When the company opened, Fang Minghua had met him once. At that time, Lao Jin was a little embarrassed and felt embarrassed when he saw Fang Minghua, but this time he was much more generous.

"Oops. Editor Fang, I shouldn't call you Chairman Fang now." Lao Jin stood up with a smile and shook hands with Fang Minghua who came in.

"Editor Jin, you look good. You are getting younger as you live." Fang Minghua said with a smile.

"Haha, that's good. I'm in good health and I can still work for a few more years!"

Of course it's good.

The retirement salary has been adjusted, and the company's monthly salary has also increased to 110 yuan, so his monthly income can reach about 200 yuan.

This is considered a high income in Xijing City!

More importantly, both managers agreed to arrange for their sons to work in sales in the company.

My son is a bit careless, but he is well-spoken and has rich social experience. He passed the company interview!

People are really in high spirits when happy events happen.

So when I saw Fang Minghua this time, I took the initiative to joke with him.

There are also a few more people in the editorial office than before, all of whom were recently recruited. Lao Jin was appointed as the director of the editorial office, and he is very motivated.

The two chatted for a while. When it was time to get off work, Lao Jin wanted to go home. Fang Minghua did not delay others and returned to the deputy general manager's office. Not long after, he saw Song Tangtang coming over, looking a little tired.

"Is the recruitment finished?" Fang Minghua asked with concern.

"Well, according to the company's plan to recruit 20 people, we have initially hired 30 people. We will eliminate another 10 people based on the comprehensive situation." Song Tangtang replied.

"Is there a young man named Lei Xuecheng on the preliminary list?" Fang Minghua suddenly remembered the scene of queuing and asked.

"Let me take a look at the list." Song Tangtang took out the preliminary list, looked at it, and shook his head.

"No."
