Chapter 4 Paying back the money after a long time
What? Running business?
Shan Sihua couldn't believe his ears, and his eyes widened again. A company like this also needs to run business?
"What's wrong? You don't want to?" When Manager Gao saw this, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of weathered salesman outside. Jianping has already taken care of me, and I will never treat you badly.
"
Listening to Manager Gao's laughter, Shan Sihua couldn't laugh no matter what, as if something was blocking his throat.
Regardless of whether the company is about to close down or whether it is really comfortable to run the business, Manager Gao's last words were enough to move Shan Sihua.
The instructor was so thoughtful that he even arranged the type of work for him. However, he was not related to the instructor, but was just a prisoner under his command.
The thrilling scene of brake failure on the winding mountain road also popped up in Shan Sihua's memory. The instructor's words to "get down" sounded like muffled thunder in his mind, shaking his conscience.
Instructor, I have recorded your kindness.
Shan Sihua thought to himself, and immediately made it clear to the senior manager that he was willing to stay.
Seeing Shan Sihua nod in agreement, Manager Gao was overjoyed. He took him to a hotel for a meal first, and then visited the gravel field and the dredgers still operating in the Yangtze River.
During this process, Shan Sihua tried to understand what he should do as a salesman several times, but the senior managers laughed and didn't answer. They just told him the time to start and get off work.
As for salary, Manager Gao didn't mention it, and Shan Sihua was too embarrassed to ask.
Lianglong Town is very close to the ancient town, and it only takes 10 minutes by bus. For several days in a row, Shan Sihua came by car in the morning and went back in the afternoon. He usually stayed at home and watched TV, and occasionally went with Manager Gao.
The gravel yard takes care of the little things.
After a few days of this, Shan Sihua once again wanted to quit. He proposed this idea, but was opposed by the senior manager.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid that you won't be paid?" Manager Gao smiled generously and said, "That's three thousand a month and a red envelope at the end of the year. How about that, are you satisfied?"
Just having nothing to do, earning 100 yuan a day, and getting a red envelope at the end of the year, sounds very comfortable.
But this kind of life has no appeal to Shan Sihua at all. Three years of special experience have polished his character like a sharp sword. How can he be willing to hide in the sheath and enjoy it just when he has the opportunity to test the edge?
?
I can't resist Manager Gao's insistence on staying, but I don't want to live such a dull life. Besides, the new year is approaching and I can't find a suitable job for a while. What should I do?
Facing Manager Gao's sincere gaze, Shan Sihua had an idea and thought of a compromise.
"Well, Manager Gao, I don't want to live idle here. Why don't you just arrange some practical work, and I'll stay."
Seeing that Shan Sihua was willing to stay, Manager Gao naturally clapped his hands in approval. He thought for a moment and said cheerfully: "Then you can help me guard the gravel pit. It just so happens that that person resigned."
Then, Manager Gao took Shan Sihua to a gravel pit on the edge of the Yangtze River to let him and the workers there get to know each other.
A small gravel crusher, an open stockpile site, and three cabins next to it are the gravel yards owned by Lianglong Town Industrial Co., Ltd.
The three cabins are the kitchen, the bedroom, and the tool room. Shan Sihua took a special look at the bedroom, and hey, there's also a TV.
After completing the handover procedures, Manager Gao returned to the office at the other end of the road. Shan Sihua and the workers at the gravel pit had a further understanding.
Although it seems easy to be responsible for guarding the gravel pit, it is a heavy responsibility and you have to sleep here at night.
After returning home, Shan Sihua explained the situation. His father sipped his wine and did not comment on Shan Sihua's work in Lianglong to guard the quarry.
Perhaps these three years of lonely life have already numbed my father's heart.
Looking at his father's expressionless old face, a trace of guilt surged into Shan Sihua's chest. He wanted to comfort his father, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't say anything.
When the salary is paid, I will buy a brand new coat for my father.
Taking a look at his father's white-washed army green cotton coat, Shan Sihua secretly made up his mind.
Although the work of guarding the gravel pit is noisy, it is very relaxing. Listening to the rhythmic roar of the gravel machine always makes people feel sleepy.
Whenever night falls, Shan Sihua lies in bed, watching TV programs and thinking about his future and how he can achieve the life goals he has set.
Because the gravel yard has a large open space for piles of materials and is close to the Yangtze River, at night, from time to time, a man and a woman would hide in the dark and whisper, affectionately.
Touching the scene, Shan Sihua easily thought of You Li. If the crazy scene on the beach had not happened, maybe You Li and he had reached the point of discussing marriage.
Seeing the man and woman hugging each other in the dark, making love to each other, reminded Shan Sihua of the "trendy novels" and short movies in the underground screening room that he had read, as well as the young couple in the hut deep in the alley on a stormy night.
…
An unspeakable sense of joy kept surging somewhere, making Shan Sihua eager to move on that long-lost feeling.
What's going on? Is my will so unbearable?
Shaking his head vigorously, Shan Sihua decisively turned around and entered the house, slamming the door shut.
Out of sight, out of mind. From now on, I will never look at these provocative things.
Trying his best to control the discomfort in his heart, Shan Sihua cursed angrily in his heart and at the same time turned up the volume of the TV by a dozen decibels.
However, only two minutes later, Shan Sihua suddenly stood up again and prepared to go out.
You know, Shan Sihua is already twenty-one years old this year, which is the age when he is in full swing. Besides, he is not a great god, he is just a man.
How easy is it for a physiologically normal man to control such impulses?
Why don't you go listen and see what these two people are doing now? Anyway, doing so does not violate conscience and morality.
Thinking this, Shan Sihua turned off the lights and prepared to sneak over quietly and eavesdrop.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard a sharp voice not far away. "Tell me, how long will it take to pay back the money?" Then there were several people laughing wildly and sometimes a voice begging for mercy.
Intuition told Shan Sihua that something happened over there.
With the help of some night light, I saw several more figures appearing where the man and woman were sitting just now.
Sure enough, something happened!
Shan Sihua wanted to go over and take a look, but then thought of his identity and responsibility as a guard of the stone field. He hesitated for a moment and prepared to go back to the house to watch TV.
He had no interest in watching a group of young people collecting debts. The river wind outside was blowing chilly, so he just lay back in bed and watched TV.
Just when Shan Sihua was about to close the door, a shrill female voice cut through the night sky and came over.
