Chapter 174 Deputy Manager
There are quite a few people who come to see their factory manager on weekdays, but this is the first one who comes to repay his debt.
It doesn't look like this guy is lying.
The security guard was skeptical and said, "Then wait here for a moment. I'll call and ask."
Back in the security room, the security guard picked up the phone and dialed the internal number.
Li Youcai was looking at financial statements in the office. When he received the call and heard that it was Long Xu who came to repay the money, he was somewhat happy.
"Bring him to me."
"Okay, Director. I'll take him there right away."
He really came to pay back the money.
The security guard put down the phone and opened the door.
"Our factory director is in the office, please follow me."
Long Xu said nothing and followed the security guard into the bakery compound.
After walking a short distance inside, Long Xu smelled the aroma of bread, which made his mouth water.
Arriving all the way to the factory director's office, the security guard knocked on Li Youcai's door.
"Come in."
"Director, the person has been brought here."
Through the crack in the door, Long Xu saw Li Youcai sitting inside. His temperament was completely different from when he was eating popsicles with him under the shade of a tree a few days ago.
Long Xu walked into the office and looked around.
There is a large cowhide sofa, a solid wood coffee table, and a desk as big as the bed, with a few exquisite ornaments on it.
"Come on, please sit down." Li Youcai waved his hand to signal Long Xu to sit down.
"I'm here to pay you back."
Long Xu did not sit down, but took out the borrowed money from his pocket and put it all on the table.
It was a thick stack, the largest denomination was a 5-yuan note, and the rest were all small bills.
"Here's thirty dollars in total, count them."
Li Youcai didn't take the money from the table. "You're quite trustworthy. You said you'd pay me back in three days, and you did."
"Thank you for lending me money last time."
"You already thanked me last time, so there's no need to keep saying thank you."
"sit down."
Li Youcai invited Long Xu again, and only then did Long Xu sit opposite Li Youcai.
Gugu...
Long Xu's stomach made a strange noise, which was the sound of the intestines rumbling when a person is hungry.
The sound was already loud, and the office was particularly quiet, making it even more abrupt.
Long Xu was so embarrassed that his cheeks turned red.
In order to leave early today, he didn't have breakfast at home. He didn't have enough money to buy food, and it was almost noon and he still hadn't eaten a single grain of rice.
Unexpectedly, such a joke would happen at this time, which made Long Xu feel so embarrassed.
Li Youcai heard Long Xu's stomach growling, smiled softly, and called out to the door, "Xiao Liu, bring some bread over and make a pot of tea."
"Okay, Director." Liu Ziqiang responded from outside the door.
Long Xu understood that Li Youcai wanted the bread for him, and waved his hands embarrassedly: "No, no, I came here just to pay you back. Now that the money has been delivered, I will leave right away."
After saying that, Long Xu was about to stand up.
"Now that you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave? It's just a few loaves of bread, and you can't make me broke. Just enjoy it and if it doesn't taste good, tell me so we can improve it."
Li Youcai smiled and said, "After we finish eating the bread, I have something else to tell you."
The relationship between the two was not deep.
Now that he had paid back all the money, Long Xu couldn't imagine what else Director Li wanted to say to him.
"If you have anything to say, tell me."
"No rush, let's talk after eating."
Liu Ziqiang pushed the door open and walked in, holding a tray filled with more than a dozen kinds of bread.
"Director, the bread you requested."
"let it go."
Liu Ziqiang put the bread on the desk, and then poured a cup of tea for Li Youcai and Long Xu respectively.
Seeing Li Youcai waving at him, Liu Ziqiang turned around and left the office.
"You're welcome, try it."
Long Xu was really hungry. He had just smelled the fragrance from the bakery in the courtyard. Now, more than ten kinds of freshly baked bread were placed in front of him. Smelling the aroma, Long Xu became even hungrier.
After all, he was not a pretentious person. When Li Youcai invited him again, Long Xu directly took the obviously fried bread on the top, tore it open and started eating.
Fragrant! Sweet! Soft! Sticky! The aroma is so fragrant when you take a bite.
This chicken drumstick bread is to die for.
"Delicious!" Long Xu ate with big mouthfuls and gave his evaluation.
Li Youcai also picked up a piece of bread, tore it open, and started eating with Long Xu.
Long Xu ate three loaves of bread in one breath before stopping to drink some water.
“This bread is delicious.”
"Thank you for the bread. I am full."
Li Youcai also finished eating a chicken drumstick bread and threw the empty bag in his hand into the trash can.
Then he looked at Long Xu and asked, "Have you ever thought about changing jobs?"
Change jobs?
The clever Long Xu quickly realized that the other party seemed to be intentionally trying to recruit him.
But I am just a rag collector, as ordinary as can be. What can the other party see in me? Maybe he is just asking casually. How could he, a factory director, be interested in a rag collector?
I'm afraid I'm overthinking it.
Long Xu felt a little self-deprecating.
"It's so hard to find a job outside now. I don't know how many educated youth who returned to their hometowns can't find a job. Where else can I find a job to choose from?" Long Xu didn't say what he was thinking, but just told the reality of employment outside.
If he could find a better job, why would he collect rags?
"If I give you a job, would you be willing to work with me?" Li Youcai stopped beating around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
"You're going to give me a job?"
"What kind of job is it?"
Long Xu didn't expect that Li Youcai actually wanted to recruit him.
When he heard what Li Youcai said, in addition to being surprised, he also felt a little secretly happy and a little nervous.
I was secretly delighted that I could be noticed by such a big factory manager.
What made Long Xu nervous was that he didn't know why Li Youcai fell in love with him. Maybe the other party just acted on a whim.
"Ah."
"Our bakery has just reached a cooperation agreement with the municipal supply and marketing company, and our bread is now available on the shelves of the supply and marketing cooperative. We are also planning to set up a transit station in Taihe City. This will be responsible for coordinating the two parties, expanding product sales, and collecting market information."
"You are more familiar with Taihe City, which is your advantage."
"If you're interested, I'm going to appoint you as the deputy manager of this branch and get this job off the ground."
After Li Youcai finished speaking, he looked at Long Xu.
But at this moment, Long Xu was digesting the information he gave him.
The bakery was right in front of him, and working here was definitely more respectable than working for a scrap recycling company.
What's more, the position they offered me right away was that of deputy manager, so the gap was too big.
However, Long Xu didn’t quite understand some of the work content that Li Youcai mentioned.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well."
"Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born with different species? No one is born to be a manager, or born to collect rags. I believe in you. As long as you work hard with all your heart, you will do well." Li Youcai smiled.
Are kings, princes, generals and ministers born into different species?
This sentence immediately stimulated Long Xu.
Thinking of Cheng Kun’s disgusting face, how could a rubbish like him be able to be a primary school teacher!
He wasn't born to be a rag collector!
"Why do you think so highly of me?"
"Because you can put aside your pride and be willing to collect scrap to support your family. At the age of 18 or 9, there aren't many people who can do that."
"Besides, you have good observation skills and a smart mind."
"How about it? Do you want to do it or not?"
"I'll do it!"
