Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 283 College Entrance Examination Admission Ticket

After all, Pioneer Distribution Company is Xu Jichang's hard work. Even if he is no longer here in the future, he still hopes that the company can develop well.

At noon, Xu Jichang went down, entered the space shelf in a small box next to the company, and took out [-] yuan from it.

After getting off work in the evening, he found Ding Xiawei's home and handed her a package containing [-] yuan.

Ding Xiawei saw the black bag on the table, and her heart skipped a beat: "So many..."

"Twenty thousand in total."

Xu Jichang pointed to the bag and said, "Take it to buy two more houses, so that you will have more to rely on for the rest of your life."

Ding Xiawei was very shocked. She picked up the bag and wanted to return it to Xu Jichang: "It's too much, I really don't need it."

Originally, she thought that the amount of money Xu Jichang said was about three to four thousand yuan.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jichang gave a full [-] yuan in one go. This was beyond Ding Xiawei's understanding.

To be honest, even after she joined the workforce and became a cadre, she never dared to imagine that she would have so much money in her life.

Xu Jichang held Ding Xiawei down and held her shoulders with both hands: "I said I would give it to you, and I will give it to you. I won't take it back."

Ding Xiawei was very embarrassed by Xu Jichang's approach. She quickly avoided his eyes and shook her head: "This is too much money. I really can't use it."

"Are people still afraid that they won't be able to learn how to spend money?"

Xu Jichang smiled slightly, took the bag back from Ding Xiawei and put it on the table, "I won't leave tonight, I will stay here with you."

Of course Ding Xiawei understood what this meant.

Facing Xu Jichang's unabashed gaze, she couldn't help but lower her head: "I say, you'd better go back..."

"No, I haven't been with you for a long time."

After saying that, Xu Jichang hugged Ding Xiawei into his arms, held her face with one hand, caressed her buttocks with the other, and kissed her cherry red lips.

"oops……"

Ding Xiawei pushed Xu Jichang lightly at first, but soon gave up resisting and hugged him as well.

……

Early the next morning, Xu Jichang left Ding Xiawei's house refreshed.

Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Ding Xiawei to go to his home when he had time to tutor Du Xiaojing.

Ding Xiawei agreed and said she would go there as soon as she was free.

After leaving Ding Xiawei's house, Xu Jichang did not go to the company immediately. Instead, he rode his bicycle and went to his processing workshop first.

As soon as he rode a hundred meters in front of the workshop, he heard a clanking sound.

As I rode closer, the smell of engine oil penetrated my nostrils.

Arriving at the yard, Xu Jichang saw workers in labor uniforms walking around, some moving things and some operating machines.

"Good leadership."

Seeing Xu Jichang stopping his bicycle at the door, a foreman inside put down his work and stepped forward to greet him.

This foreman was also an educated youth. He studied science in high school and had never been able to find a job before.

When he got here, Xu Ji saw that he was smart and diligent, so he appointed him as the foreman to manage these workers for him.

"You go about your business, I'll come and take a look."

Xu Jichang didn't mind the black engine oil on his hands and directly stretched out his hand to be with him and me.

The foreman was moved for a moment: "Yes, leader."

Xu Jichang walked slowly in the yard.

It was obvious that as he entered, the workers in the yard became more diligent and wanted to perform well in front of him.

Xu Jichang always focuses on the maintenance of machines.

The working state can be temporarily installed, but the maintenance of the machine cannot.

The attitude towards production machines can largely reflect the working status of a worker behind the scenes.

Well, the machine is well maintained.

No stains, no rust. It is not easy to maintain the second-hand machines that others have eliminated.

"Here's some extra meat for everyone tonight."

Before leaving, Xu Jichang warned the foreman.

"Alright leader."

The foreman said happily, turning his face to the side, "Let me tell you some good news. The leader invites us to eat meat today."

"Thank you, Manager Xu!"

"Thank you leader!"

……

The scene was filled with cheers and cheers, and many workers clapped happily.

Xu Jichang smiled, waved to everyone and left.

On the way to the company, Xu Jichang settled an account.

As the scale of the workshop business continues to expand, a conservative calculation can provide him with an income of [-] yuan per year.

Coupled with electrical appliance repair, helping in the kitchen, and buying roast duck, his total income now is about [-] yuan a year.

This is a very scary number.

People's livelihood business is like this. It looks inconspicuous, but in fact the profits are extremely huge, which can be called huge profits.

In addition, there are not many people who dare to do business at the moment, so Xu Jichang's business has formed a monopoly almost wherever he opens his business.

If things continue like this, I will soon get cramps in my hands from counting money.

The more Xu Jichang thought about it, the happier he became. The journey that originally took [-] to [-] minutes by bicycle arrived in the blink of an eye.

When he was still a hundred meters away from the company door, he saw Director Gao's secretary standing at the door, as if waiting for someone.

At this time, the other party also saw Xu Jichang, raised his arm and said hello from a distance: "Manager Xu, the factory director wants to talk to you about something. Please come with me."

"The factory director is looking for me?"

Xu Jichang was a little surprised, thinking that he had just gone to Factory Director Gao's place.

"Yes, there is a rather special mission."

The other party replied sincerely and diligently.

special mission?

Xu Jichang had no choice but to stop his bicycle and follow him to Dongfang Fertilizer Factory.

Compared with before, Dongfang Fertilizer Factory seems more lively, and it seems that many new people have been recruited.

The windows in the factory office building have obviously been replaced, making them look more impressive.

On the way to Factory Director Gao's office, Xu Jichang didn't ask him much.

He understood that even if he asked, the other party would definitely answer that you would know when you get there.

"Uncle Gao, look for me."

After entering the room, Xu Jichang greeted Director Gao.

In the office, Director Gao was seen leaning on his chair with a smile on his face, looking in a good mood.

"Yes. The superiors have decided to introduce advanced production lines from abroad to improve the production capacity and operating efficiency of the fertilizer plant."

When Director Gao saw him entering the room, he immediately sat up from his chair, pointed in the distance and said, "The meeting place between the two parties is in Xiangjiang. I plan to take you there with me."

"Going to Xiangjiang? When."

To be honest, what Director Gao said today was really beyond Xu Jichang's expectations.

He had been to Xiangjiang several times before crossing over, but he never thought about it again after crossing over.

After all, in Xu Jichang's mind, Xiangjiang in the 70s was still a very distant place for most people.

Even if I wanted to go, I'd probably have to wait until the 90s, right?

"In about two months."

Director Gao stared at Xu Jichang and said, "You will just finish taking the exam by then, so you can come with us if you have time."

Xu Jichang smiled: "I'll go home and ask Xiao Jing."

"We just got married, and I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to being alone at home."

Director Gao smiled and nodded: "You really have to respect Xiao Jing's opinion."

"When Xiao Jing is happy, Mr. Du is happy." After returning home from get off work, Xu Jichang told Du Xiaojing about his upcoming business trip.

"Going to Xiangjiang? Can I bring my family with me?"

Du Xiaojing's first reaction after hearing this was not reluctance, but excitement.

Xu Jichang spread his hands in embarrassment: "I'm afraid it won't work. Even I got this opportunity because of Uncle Gao."

Even in the 80s, it was not easy to go to Xiangjiang.

Not to mention it’s still the late 70s.

Fortunately, Du Xiaojing was not surprised by Xu Jichang's answer and did not show much disappointment: "Then go ahead and remember to buy me something good if you have the chance."

"must."

Xu Jichang promised, "You can continue reading."

Autumn is getting deeper, and the atmosphere of college entrance examination is getting stronger in society.

Some young employees at Dongfang Fertilizer Factory began to take leave to study full-time at home.

Even the well-paid Pioneer Distribution Company has several salespeople who have taken leave.

The entire company is still working normally, except for Xu Jichang, Fang Runsu and You Yuqing.

One morning, Xu Jichang met You Yuqing on his way to work.

As the two chatted, they mentioned the college entrance examination: "Yu Qing, you won't have to ask for leave later."

"I didn't sign up."

You Yuqing pedaled her bicycle while shaking her head and said, "I get a headache when I read a book. Especially in English and mathematics, I can't read a single word."

"Oh, then you should concentrate on your work. Several comrades have taken leave to prepare for the exam. Those of you who are left behind will have to bear more burdens."

When Xu Jichang heard You Yuqing's words, he actually felt lucky instead of feeling sorry for her.

After all, his most important and core identity now is the manager of Pioneer Distribution Company. The most important task for him is to ensure the normal operation of the company.

If You Yuqing does not register for the college entrance examination, it may be detrimental to her own future.

But this is also a good thing for the company. At least there is no need to worry about no one doing the work.

At noon, Xu Jichang went out to eat. As soon as the food was served, he saw Ding Xiawei who was also eating out.

"Why didn't you eat in the cafeteria?"

Xu Jichang greeted.

Ding Xiawei sat down opposite him and picked up the menu: "After Qimei left, the food in the cafeteria became even more unpalatable."

"Many people in the fertilizer factory now either go home to eat or work outside."

"By the way, the factory talked to me today and asked me if I was interested in taking over as the manager of Pioneer Distribution Company."

"It was you who recommended me to the factory leadership, right?"

The factory makes decisions so quickly.

Xu Jichang sighed inwardly, put down his chopsticks and looked at Ding Xiawei: "That's right. I think you are the most suitable for this position."

Ding Xiawei felt very happy to be so affirmed by Xu Jichang, but she was still a little worried in her heart: "I'm afraid that I won't be good at it, you are so sure."

"How could you not be good at it? You were a college student in the [-]s, and you were a department leader in the logistics department before."

Xu Jichang encouraged Ding Xiawei, "Not to mention the treatment at the distribution company is much better than that at the fertilizer factory."

Ding Xiawei was moved by what he said: "How much money can you have?"

"Get bonuses based on sales performance, not subject to level restrictions."

Xu Jichang was worried that the wall had ears, so he lowered his voice and said, "It's more than five times what you are now."

More than five times?

Ding Xiawei opened her almond eyes wide and quickly calculated a number in her mind.

Too much, really too much.

Originally, she was a little worried about whether she would suffer a loss if she lost her status as a state-owned enterprise after being transferred to the distribution company.

But if we really want such a high salary, what kind of establishment would we need?

Fortunately, when the factory leaders asked for opinions, I agreed first.

Otherwise, wouldn’t we have missed such a good opportunity?

Ding Xiawei said happily in her heart.

However, just to be on the safe side, she asked again: "Are you under a lot of performance pressure?"

"It will be a little busier, but not too stressful."

Xu Jichang told the truth.

The late 70s was still very different from the era of comprehensive marketization that followed. The competitive pressure on product sales was not at the same level as that of later generations.

Ding Xiawei got Xu Jichang's answer, and the last doubt in her heart disappeared.

"You can ask me any questions you have about this position and I will tell you them all."

"Even if your work doesn't go smoothly after I leave, you can still ask me."

Xu Jichang said very generously.

He is very clear about a truth.

As time goes by, people age.

For women, getting older means risks and an increase in insecurities.

What's more, in a special situation like Ding Xiawei's, it was impossible for her to give her a status, which made her feel even more insecure.

It is his duty to take care of Ding Xiawei's emotions and dispel her doubts.

Xu Jichang's words obviously comforted Ding Xiawei a lot.

The evidence is the smile on Ding Xiawei's face.

At this time, all the food she had just ordered was served.

"I will try my best to do my job well and not take up your time and energy."

Ding Xiawei picked up a piece of meat bun and said happily, "You will probably be quite busy when you get admitted to college."

It will indeed be busier.

Xu Jichang thought to himself.

However, he knew that his understanding of busyness was completely different from Ding Xiawei's understanding of busyness.

Ding Xiawei must have thought that he would be busy studying. And Xu Jichang knew that after he was admitted to college, his main focus would definitely be on business and girls.

After lunch, Ding Xiawei returned to Dongfang Fertilizer Factory, and Xu Jichang returned to the distribution company.

Back in the office, he saw a letter on his desk.

"When was the letter?"

Xu Jichang asked Fang Runsu who was knitting a sweater in the office.

"The postman just delivered it to our downstairs. I happened to see it and brought it up to you."

Ding Xiawei raised her head and said, still holding her hand.

Xu Jichang picked up the envelope and saw that it was from the Municipal Education Commission, and he probably understood what was going on.

I opened the envelope and saw, sure enough, it was the college entrance examination admission ticket.

Different from the admission tickets printed on white A3 paper in later generations, the admission tickets this year are printed on yellow paper, and the location of Xu Jichang's examination room is stated on it.

Xuanwu District Sixth Middle School.

Xu Jichang wrote down this location and put the admission ticket into the drawer.

"What size are you wearing now?"

At this time, Fang Runsu, who was at the desk opposite, asked.

"I told you last time."

Xu Jichang said, "A waist circumference of two feet four."

Fang Runsu laughed after hearing this: "Aren't you growing? I have to figure out your changes so that I can knit a sweater for you."
