Chapter 32: Zhen Ni Ma Xi (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)
A regular large company, things are more troublesome, private enterprises have higher controllability and are freer. As a "mole" identity is also easier to be accepted. As for earning more or less, it seems that salary and bonuses are not enough for him to refuel his car. In Zhunin, there is a unit with a job that can be considered as a small white-collar worker. Every month, when he takes the salary card back home, his grandmother and mother will happily hug him and praise him.
Ji Dacheng is very outgoing, every time he goes to the smoking area on the stairs, whether it's colleagues from the office or people from other companies on the same floor, he always greets them with a smile and chats for a few sentences, and the Zhonghua cigarettes in his pocket are never stingy about being handed out.
Zhū Níng is a bit pretentious and arrogant, usually with a straight face. Only when it comes to Zhang Shì Dōng, who has a special connection with him, does he show a slight smile. He rarely interacts with others, sitting in front of the computer playing a music game featuring a female character, typing quickly as they chat enthusiastically.
Ji Dacheng was playing an online game on his phone, occasionally sending texts and chatting with Zhang Shidong before continuing to focus on his game.
The Golden Week just passed, the office is very busy, footsteps are flying fast up and down, only these three in the corner, occasionally assigned some work, either to confirm audit review or simply data entry, not afraid of mistakes can be adjusted.
In just three days, Zhang Shidong became familiar with the job. There was no fixed time for going to work in the morning. As Ji Dacheng would say, as long as you don't give Old Du a chance to take advantage of you, it's fine. When someone from above comes to inspect, come early; on ordinary days, coming at 9 or 10 is okay. Zhu Ning defined this kind of life for the three of them as neither high nor low. Those real spoiled rich kids and young masters are always partying at night and sleeping during the day, while ordinary people have to rush about from morning till night for a living. They were in a middle layer, big-handed and big-footed but never short of money to spend.
Zhang Shidong didn't break the rules that a worm should have, not early but not too late either, around 8:30, arrived at the company, handed over the KFC in his hand to the front desk. The two little sisters were willing to spend their entire monthly salary on themselves, Xiaomei had a handsome boyfriend, and Xiaoyun vowed to marry a rich second generation. Zhang Shidong had only been there for a few days and had already seen how fierce they were, both of them rushing to arrive at the company every day, putting on makeup to supplement their appearance, not to mention eating. It was convenient for people, Zhang Shidong never stingy with small favors, being praised by someone in front of him, he considered it as buying someone to praise him.
"Ah, Brother Dong, I love you to death! Come on, give me a kiss." Xiaoyun was busy dealing with her eyelashes and saw the steaming hot breakfast. She raised her head towards Zhang Shidong, puckered up her lips, and gave him a flying kiss. Xiaomei also lifted her head in gratitude.
"Dongzi, I'm in a bit of a hurry here, you see..." Ku Guanda was an honest and reliable man without any educational background. He was a veteran of the Pingjiang office and cherished his job. The large warehouse and Xiao Chao, who was responsible for receiving and dispatching goods, were kept tidy and organized under his management.
After a few cigarettes were lit together, Zhang Shidong was unwilling to sit and play games online all day. As long as others gave him respect, he would be happy to help others do some work.
"No problem."
The warehouse was dimly lit, without windows, and stacked with cartons of paper. Outside, there were hundreds or even thousands of mobile phones, but here they were arranged like ordinary vegetables. Xiao Chao, who had dropped out of school at the age of 20 to work, was very diligent. He was introduced by a business manager and earned the least amount of money in the entire office. His work was indeed the busiest, and every month he could earn a little extra money from receiving and sending goods, which everyone else looked down on.
Holding the list to check the goods, the mystery of numbers lies in this. The first time it was completely correct, and while feeling relieved, I still had to check again to avoid mistakes. But once the first time didn't match the number on the list, and a second number appeared, as a warehouse manager, Da Kun would be flustered.
It wasn't until almost noon, when the logistics arrived to take away the goods, that Zhang Shidong brushed off the dust on his body and returned to the office area amidst the thanks from Da Kun and Xiao Chao.
"Hurry up and leave, the boss is at home, what's with this attitude." Just as he walked to the front desk area, he saw Xiaomei frowning and looking anxious, pushing a young man away. Zhang Shidong coughed, and the man, seeing someone coming out, hastily left, making a "call me" gesture to Xiaomei as he departed.
"Anything wrong?" Zhang Shidong asked casually.
Xiaomei shook her head, but Xiaoyun, who was secretly holding a camera and fiddling with her phone on the side, looked up and said with a pout: "It's still that boyfriend of hers, always hanging out with some shady friends, not thinking about making money, just wanting to spend money at Xiaomei's place. Xiaomei isn't saying it, but if I were her, I would have kicked him out long ago. What's the point of being with someone who has no money, no house, and no job?"
Xiao Yun just muttered to herself, Xiao Mei sighed and didn't continue the conversation. Zhang Shidong also found it hard to ask further questions. As they walked into the office area, they saw people in the conference room and near the desk of the business manager of the office area.
Xuan Ke made the office so good, the purpose is to give people an impression that this company has strength. The mobile phone industry has a large number of distributors, who come to discuss business every day. Business managers will take them back to the office, where they can meet with Du Jingxue and chat, and also finalize some business on the spot, such as ordering quantities, making payments, and delivering goods. It's all done in one go. So here, you see the vice president's office, financial room, conference room, and office area bustling with people coming and going, which is not surprising at all.
Ji Dacheng said that Zhu Ning is not pretending, Zhang Shidong believed it. No matter who, as long as the arrangement of work is polite and courteous, Zhu Ning is willing to do it, unlike Ji Dacheng who is pushing and evading.
"Dongzi, how was the drinking session that day? Shall we continue tonight?" Ji Dacheng never hid his ideal of living a life of indulgence and pleasure, taking each day as it comes.
"Dachengzi, can you take a count? Does everyone have any plans for tonight? I'd like to invite everyone out for dinner as a welcome party for me, the new member. We can choose between the Chinese restaurant at Shangri-La or DiHao seafood, whichever one everyone prefers."
Zhang Shidong's generosity spread throughout the entire company in just over ten minutes. In the company's MSN group, Xiaoyun even sent Zhang Shidong a dazed worshiping sticker with a kiss, to know that such a dinner in Pingjiang, a large private room with two tables, would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan, and everyone had to be careful about it. As soon as the news came out, the work enthusiasm of the company's employees changed.
Zhū Níng lifted his head: "I have acquaintances there who stored a few bottles of wine, we'll open two tonight."
Zhang Shidong nodded, two bottles of wine, a meal wiped out 30% or more of the consumption, Zhu Ning is a good person, Ji Dacheng didn't say wrong.
At noon, as usual, the three of them went to a restaurant that served exquisite and refreshing dishes. They spent over 300 yuan on a meal that they ended up throwing away more than half of. By ordinary people's standards, these three sons are really extravagant.
In the afternoon, Zhang Shidong logged into the game. Dongzi's ID had already been changed to a powerful one, and Mǐnuònuò was treating it as her own account to nurture. In a short period of time, he transformed from an occasional casual player to a renowned RMB player on the server, with top-notch equipment from head to toe. According to in-game market analysis, his total worth was at least several hundred thousand. This was still due to Zhang Shidong's relatively low level; if Mǐnuònuò were to invest more money and manage her "little man" well, he would become a powerful presence under the spotlight of the masses.
Just before the end of work, Ji Dacheng suddenly walked in from outside with a embarrassed expression, thirty minutes ago he received a call and walked out of the office area, looking at his expression, it seemed like he had encountered some difficulties.
Soon, Ji Dacheng hurried over to Zhang Shidong and Zhu Ning: "Brothers, do you have any acquaintances at the Central Hospital?"
Zhang Shidong hadn't spoken yet when Zhu Ning took the lead and spoke up, revealing his cold outside but warm inside personality: "What's wrong, is a friend going to be hospitalized?"
"Right? Nowadays, having money doesn't necessarily mean you can get whatever you want. I have a classmate whose wife gave birth to a child, but there was no hospital bed available, and they had to put her in a temporary bed in the corridor. I was going to boast about my connections, but it turned out that even with money, things didn't go as planned. Alas!"
Zhu Ning: "Money, now there are more people with money, but good hospitals, good doctors and good beds are limited. My connections may not be useful either, let's call first to ask. Some time ago, a leader from the Education Bureau had a family member giving birth, they used many connections and finally managed to get a double room arranged. My sister has a friend in the hospital, but I don't know if this connection is reliable or if the other party can get things done."
"No big deal, no big deal. If it can't be done, that's okay. In this day and age, I'm not worried you'll find the wrong door or worship at the wrong temple, what I'm afraid of is that you won't even be able to find your way."
It wasn't long before Zhu Ning's face fell: "My sister's friend is just an intern doctor, and she was recently transferred to work in the county." Seeing Ji Dacheng's disappointed expression, Zhu Ning changed the subject: "However, the other party agreed to help make some connections. Now, no matter how capable you are outside, it's not as good as having a relationship with a small nurse inside..."
"By the way, a calm voice that was ignored by the two of them sounded: 'How about I make a call to arrange something?'"
