Rebirth 1994: Starting from laid-off workers

Xu Dahai glanced at the banknotes on the table, and there were three or four.

Hard dishes such as sea cucumbers braised with green onions and braised prawns are only in their twenties these days, and ordinary dishes cost from a few yuan to more than ten yuan.

For three to four hundred yuan, you can set up a top-end banquet in a big hotel, let alone a small restaurant like his.

Xu Dahai's heart suddenly moved, but there was a troubled expression on his face.

"I don't dare to accept this. The old man has a very weird temper. I really can't guarantee that he will agree to go out. You'd better take back the money first!"

At this time, Zhao Yonggang had also finished eating. Zhang Jiaqiang left a business card and stood up and said.

"Leave the deposit first. At noon in three days, tell the old man that it's an old neighbor who wants to try his cooking. If he can't be invited, I'll trouble you to cook a table of special dishes yourself!"

There have been no banquets for some days. This table can earn at least 100 yuan. Xu Dahai promised repeatedly and promised to try his best to ask the old man to cook in person.

Then he put away the deposit and sent the two of them outside.

Zhang Jiaqiang glanced at the direction of his home deep in the alley. Now was not the time to go home to see his parents.

He was afraid that he would be too excited to see his parents who were still alive again, so he planned to bring his wife to see them after he calmed down!

"Going to the wholesale market?" Zhao Yonggang asked as he started the car.

Zhang Jiaqiang shook his head, "Go to Dongfanghong Commercial Building!"

Everything these days relies on connections. If you go to the wholesale market with your head covered, you can win some orders with excellent quality, but market awareness is too slow and it will take a long time for it to be fully promoted.

Zhang Jiaqiang planned to take a bigger step, so he planned to go to Dongfanghong Commercial Building first to borrow a chicken and lay eggs.

Not far away, the two of them were chatting, and the red signboard of Dongfanghong Commercial Building came into view.

Zhang Jiaqiang asked Zhao Yonggang to help carry a box of lighters, and went straight to Mr. Wang's office where he had met at the last dinner.

After a short interval of time, Mr. Wang was still very impressed with Zhang Jiaqiang and received him very politely.

Zhang Jiaqiang didn't mince words, he directly handed over his business card and lighter sample, and said straight to the point that the purpose of the trip was to ask Mr. Wang to help introduce wholesalers, and also extended an invitation to treat him in three days.

Zhang Jiaqiang was indeed right. This Mr. Wang was a warm-hearted person. After hearing the new product he introduced, he thought it was very marketable. He immediately agreed to introduce several wholesalers and meet together three days later.

Dongfanghong Commercial Building has a very high status in the local shopping mall. If Mr. Wang comes out to invite someone to dinner, the wholesalers will definitely give him face. It can be said that the matter is half successful.

Zhang Jiaqiang remembered this favor, and after exchanging a few words, someone happened to come in to talk about work, so he took the opportunity to say goodbye.

After going downstairs, I bought some children's products in the shopping mall, and the vouchers in my pocket were used up some more.This was prepared for Zhou Xiaomeng. Zhou Dahei asked him to recognize his daughter, which meant that he had to take care of the child during this period.

Zhao Yonggang got on the bus and said: "You are awesome. You took down the Oriental Commercial Building with just a few words. It seems that the boss is not something ordinary people can be!"

Zhang Jiaqiang said with a smile, "Don't think of me as a big boss. A week ago, my wife and I had white noodles and even had to save eggs."

Zhao Yonggang started the car, "Come on, Mr. Factory Manager, don't cry poor, I won't lend you money!"

Zhang Jiaqiang smiled calmly, stared at Zhao Yonggang in the rearview mirror, and said deeply.

"For a while, I felt that I had lost my purpose in life. This is the most terrifying thing. If you can't understand the feeling of being at a crossroads, it's more uncomfortable than death."

He was talking about the feeling before rebirth!

Zhao Yonggang tilted his head and sighed, saying that he understood and listened while driving.

"I have become depraved. I follow the gangsters in the factory every day, and my family is completely ruined. I finally married the woman I like, but let her eat pickles and white noodles with me every day. I can't even afford a decent piece of clothing. Why!"

"Even, I, when I was drunk, I almost hit her..."

Zhao Yonggang suddenly turned his head, glanced at Li Dong, then turned his head again and continued driving without saying a word.

As a scout, he has received professional training in interrogating prisoners. He can tell at a glance whether the other party is telling the truth or not.

Zhang Jiaqiang looked in the rearview mirror. Zhao Yonggang was shocked at first, and then a kind of disgust rose in his eyes. It seemed that he believed what he said.

The self-exposure of his shortcomings just now seems to be purely sick in the eyes of outsiders. It is too late for others to put gold on their faces, so how can they smear it themselves?

But Zhang Jiaqiang had other ideas.

First of all, what he said are all facts. These things are all done by Zhang Jiaqiang in this life and cannot be concealed. If anyone inquires, the neighbors will know what kind of character he was in the past.

Therefore, Zhang Jiaqiang needs a cover to abandon the past and move towards a new life. What is more valuable than a prodigal son turning back without money?

Furthermore, Zhang Jiaqiang discovered that Zhao Yonggang was a jovial person on the outside, but he was very sophisticated on the inside, and he seemed to be someone who could do great things.

In the future business, there will definitely be some secret matters that need to be handled by confidants, and what Zhang Jiaqiang lacks is confidants.

However, there is only one way to let a thoughtful person dig deep into his heart, to change his heart and slowly gain the other person's trust.

As if he had lost interest in the conversation, Zhang Jiaqiang silently looked out the window at the scenery quickly behind the car.

Zhao Yonggang's curiosity was aroused, he lit a cigarette and took a few puffs and asked, "What happened next?"

After a long silence, Zhang Jiaqiang said quietly when he felt that the other party was impatient.

"Once, I dreamed that my wife couldn't bear the injustice and committed suicide!"

"In the dream, I saw that she seemed to have lost her soul. The tears in her eyes were like boiling oil and woke me up!"

"You know, I will never forget the feeling I felt at that time in my life. I regretted it and felt distressed. I woke up at that moment!"

He was talking about the previous life, but he used dreams as an excuse.

Zhang Jiaqiang seemed to be refreshed and waved his arms vigorously, "I was dead at that moment. From then on, I got a new life, so I tried my best to contract the workshop and did my best to run it!"

Emotions are contagious.

In the rearview mirror, Zhao Yonggang felt relieved. He took a deep breath and thought that no wonder when he saw him for the first time, he felt that this man was very calm and down-to-earth. It turned out to be a prodigal son who turned back.

"In this life, people have to bear all kinds of responsibilities. I have wasted too much time on my family, friends, career, and society. I have to take up those responsibilities again and can no longer live up to the expectations of my loved ones."

Zhao Yonggang was full of doubts, "Even if you work hard and build a workshop in a short time, and there are so many people working for you wholeheartedly, it is too hard for people to believe. Could it be that there is someone helping you?"

Zhang Jiaqiang smiled brightly and told the truth about pretending to be sick and blackmailing Factory Director Yin, because there was no way to hide these things, and the workers all knew that there was no need to hide them.

After hearing this, Zhao Yonggang almost used the brake as the accelerator.

He never expected that Zhang Jiaqiang actually started from scratch, and it took less than a week to go from living in a bare house to contracting a workshop.

If in the past, he only saw Zhang Jiaqiang as the envy of ordinary people towards successful people, now he has more admiration, sincere admiration.

I was impressed from the bottom of my heart by Zhang Jiaqiang's means, strategy and courage.

I can't help but think that this kind of person will definitely succeed!

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he still didn't know where to go, so he hurriedly asked, "Where are we going?"
