Wolf of Xiangjiang

Chapter 3 [Respect Luo Yi first]

After Lin Zhengjie left the office building of Yijia Securities, fat man He Fangtang was still waiting for him outside the door.

"Ajie, I knew you could apply for the job, and we will be colleagues!"

"How did you know?"

"Don't you know it now!"

This is an interesting person!
Lin Zhengjie: "You are more interesting. Since you are waiting for me at the door, let's have lunch together. I'll treat you, and you'll pay for it!"

He Fangtang: "Why do you treat me and I pay the bill?"

Lin Zhengjie asked, "Are there any conflicts between the two of them?"

He Fangtang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Haha, you are more interesting than me!"

The reason why he waited for Lin Zhengjie was because he knew in his heart that Lin Zhengjie could apply for the job today, so he wanted to see the answer as soon as possible.

If Lin Zhengjie can apply for the job, then this colleague is worth dating. After all, if a middle school student can be recognized by the recruitment officer of a large company, it means that this person is very powerful and will definitely perform better than him in the interview.

noon.

After Lin Zhengjie and He Fangtang finished their simple dinner together, the two immediately separated. After all, they had just met, and it was not to the extent of "burning yellow paper to worship". I just want to get to know each other in advance, and you can sign up for a group tour to keep warm when you arrive at the new company.

Later, Lin Zhengjie walked around Central alone.

In 1977, Central, Hong Kong was undergoing a historic change, transforming into a world financial metropolis.

The buildings in Central are also undergoing upgrading. They are getting taller and more expensive. Take the Connaught Building (Yihe Building) in the early 70s as an example. Its height has reached 52 floors, and its construction cost was HK$1.5 million.

There are also a dazzling array of products in Central. If you accidentally see the price tag of a high-end clothing store through the shop window, a piece of clothing is HK$12888, the poor people passing by will secretly smack their lips.

After shopping around Central for a long time, Lin Zhengjie went to Yung Kee to pack up a roast goose. Finally, he had one more luxury - he took a TAXI and headed towards Choi Hung Village in Wong Tai Sin.

"Master, drive in!"

When they arrived at Rainbow Village, Lin Zhengjie told the driver.

Driver: “No problem, sir, you’re here to visit relatives!”

He saw Lin Zhengjie dressed in formal clothes, with a stylish hairstyle, and carrying a Yong Kee bag in his hand. He exuded a burst of fragrance, and he did not look like someone who lived in a public housing estate.

"I live here!"

"You're kidding me. If you live here, wouldn't we have to live on the street?"

Well, it seems that Lin Zhengjie does look like a rich man now!

He simply stopped explaining and just let it go.

soon.

When Lin Zhengjie got out of the taxi, what a coincidence - he actually ran into an acquaintance, an old man in his fifties who lived in the same building, and everyone was relatively familiar with him.

"Uncle Da, you are exercising!"

"Ajie? Are you rich?"

Uncle Da, his son has moved out of Rainbow Village and bought a house in the city.

From this point of view, this family is doing well.

In public housing estates like this, young people are desperately trying to escape, leaving only the elderly behind in the end.

In another twenty or thirty years, this situation - aging will become even more serious. For example, in small western cities in the past life, young people either worked or settled outside. The population of small western cities did not increase but decreased, and the proportion of elderly people on the streets was extremely exaggerated.

"I'm not as promising as Brother Biao. I bought a house in the city at a young age. I have to learn from him!" Lin Zhengjie said with a smile.

Although he was praising Uncle Da's son, what Uncle Da saw in Lin Zhengjie's eyes was confidence, which made Uncle Da even more certain that Lin Zhengjie was prosperous.

Looking at Lin Zhengjie holding Yong Kee Roast Goose in his hand and taking a TAXI home just now, Uncle Da was even more certain.

"You are still so young and you can do it soon. What are you doing recently?" Uncle Da gossiped.

"I didn't do anything, I just changed my job." Lin Zhengjie always spoke in half sentences, deliberately arousing the curiosity of these old men and women.

"Ajie, what are you doing now?" Uncle Da asked anxiously.

"Uncle Da, a broker from a securities company, I'm going home first. You can exercise slowly!"

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Lin Zhengjie quickly stepped out of the way.

As a result, Uncle Da, who was left behind, suddenly had no intention of exercising!

"A broker in a securities company, is he a stock broker? How much can he earn this month? This guy didn't realize that he was so honest before, but now he can be prosperous?"

These questions were enough for Uncle Da to think about for half an hour, and he kept looking in the direction Lin Zhengjie left.

Lin Zhengjie met many neighbors like Uncle Da in the short distance of more than 100 meters home. Without him taking the initiative to say hello, the neighbors would always ask him about his 'getting rich'.

He did not deny that his words always left suspense and attracted endless gossip among these neighbors.

As the saying goes - people rely on clothing, Buddha relies on gold clothing, respect the clothes first and then respect others, this is the truth.

Lin Zhengjie's temperament changed drastically at this time, which was enough to deal with these unsociable neighbors. As for why I do this, it is naturally to advertise for myself.

"Mom, I'm back. Today I bought Yong Kee roast goose to honor you!" Lin Zhengjie shouted inside as soon as he entered the door.

He quickly adapted to the 'mother-son' relationship with Li Cui'e, because Li Cui'e was not only a loving mother, but also a mother who supported her son in his work.

And Li Cui'e herself has to work on the sewing machine for a long time every day, and she also has to take care of her family, which is quite hard!
I admire such a mother!
"It smells good. I'll pack it up and eat together later!" Li Cui'e happily took the bag from Lin Zhengjie's hand.

"Mom, don't ask about the price!" Lin Zhengjie said, leaning at the door of the kitchen.

The place where they live has a separate kitchen and bathroom, but it is quite small. Less than 24 square meters, it has two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, which shows how small it is.

This is still a public housing estate built in the 1960s (higher grade), while the public housing estates built in the 1950s have public toilets and public kitchens, and the conditions are even more difficult.

Li Cui'e smiled and said: "I don't ask, you are not a person who spends money randomly!"

Lin Zhengjie responded: "That happened in the past, and I will be different from now on! But don't worry, I can make more money now. Today I found a job as a stockbroker in a large securities company , a monthly base salary of 1500, plus commissions and year-end bonuses.”

Li Cui'e almost burst into tears when she heard this. She could feel that her son was enlightened!

"Good, good, if my mother didn't have the money to support your studies, you would be a student of the University of Hong Kong now!"

Lin Zhengjie squeezed into the kitchen, put his hands on Li Cui'e's shoulders, and comforted: "Mom, it's nothing. Besides, it was my own decision. Also, there are many people applying today, including several from the University of Hong Kong. In the end, you My son hasn’t won this job yet. If you do a good job as a stockbroker, you can easily earn 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a year, so don’t dwell on the past!"

"Mom, listen to you!"

"By the way, Mom, if someone asks what your son is doing, just say he is a broker in a securities company and don't reveal anything else!"

"Well, don't worry, Mom is not a talkative person!"

In the evening, the family feasted on Yung Kee's roast goose. The family has always been frugal. This kind of opportunity was very rare in the past, and of course it was not Yung Kee's roast goose. Of course, Sham Tseng roast goose is the best in Hong Kong.
