Sister Yang and Xiao Liu also came over. Everyone sat around a table and ate. There were many dishes and they tasted good. Everyone laughed and ate happily. While we were eating, the little guys were chattering together and glancing at me sneakily from time to time. I could tell that it was about me, so I asked,"What are you guys mumbling about?”One of them pretended to be mysterious and said,"We're asking you something. You're not allowed to be angry. You're not allowed to run away. You have to tell the truth, okay?”I couldn't figure out what they were up to, so I said,"Ask away.”"Are you a 'corrupt official?'" Their questions were so abrupt that I was not mentally prepared for them. I was speechless for a moment and did not know how to answer. "Tell me the truth, are you a corrupt official?" They pressed forward. I came back to my senses and asked them,"Why did you ask this?”"Don't be long-winded. Just answer me if you're a corrupt official.”They pressed on. "No." I answered. "Then why did you come out to work?”they asked again. "Can't I work?" I asked back. "Which county leader doesn't sit down and run out to be a wage earner?”It was really difficult to answer their questions. "You must have some unspeakable secrets when you come out to work.”Seeing that I couldn't answer, they became even more pleased with themselves. I still had to ask them,"So there's a problem with you guys working?”"We're students. We have to work after graduation. How can we live if we don't work?”"I'm the same as you. I can't live without working.”"Nonsense. You've been a business leader for so many years. Who knows how much money you've made? Don't pretend to be poor in front of us.”Among this group of people, only Sister Yang could understand why I came out to work. During the recruitment interview, I told her and Old Zhao in detail why I resigned from the unit. I looked at Sister Yang, hoping that she would help me out."Sister Yang, you know my situation. Can you say something to me?”Sister Yang saw that the little guy was staring at me, wondering if he was a corrupt official. She laughed so hard that she almost spat out the rice in her mouth. When she saw that I was asking her for help, she deliberately said,"They're looking for a corrupt official like you. Don't drag me into it.”Sister Yang's joke made the little ones even more excited."Sister Yang has already admitted that you're a corrupt official, but you still don't admit it?”I could only laugh and say,"Just say that I'm me, okay?”"What did you do with the money? You can't even bear to eat fast food that costs seven yuan. Are you reluctant to spend it, or are you afraid to spend it?”"Both. I can't bear to spend it and I don't dare to spend it.”"Be careful of the money buried underground getting moldy.”On the surface, it looked like they were just making fun of me, but it could not be ruled out that they really thought so in their hearts. The social media always talked about the corruption of some officials, so that the society generally believed that any official was a corrupt official. There was no official who was not corrupt. Not to mention these "nationalistic youths" who had just graduated from school. Young people in their twenties were at the most extreme physiological stage. When it came to corruption, in their eyes, it was "the crows in the world are all black." As long as they heard that they had been officials, they would think that they were corrupt officials (in fact, their parents might also be officials). In their mindset, since I was an "official" before, I must be a corrupt official, and I might even be a corrupt official who escaped. In this complicated society, I knew that I was powerless to argue with these young people. I also came from a young age. I can only laugh at their suspicions about me. I can't be serious. I couldn't possibly tell them about my long journey to work. Let them think whatever they want. Anyway, it was not related to their own pain or itch.
After lunch that day, I never went to the seventh floor to eat again. The reason was simple. I couldn't bring the little guy from the company to Jie's restaurant every day to eat. The next day, before lunch time, I slipped away early. The little guy was also a sensible person. He said that he wanted the lady boss to take care of him, but it was only a half-true joke. He didn't take it seriously. However, that afternoon when the little guy went down to get food, Jie still asked them to bring me a meal. However, I didn't go back to the office that afternoon. That meal was still on my desk the next morning. It had changed overnight. He could only throw it into the trash can. After that, Jie didn't ask the little guy to bring any more food up.(Soon after, I was sent to the construction site in the county town, so I didn't have to eat lunch at the company.)
I joined this company at the beginning of last month (August). In the blink of an eye, a month has passed. There was nothing important to do in this month. Occasionally, there would be some things, but they were all chores that had nothing to do with real estate development. Other than when President Hua went on a business trip, he did not go out for the next half a month. He didn't come to the office according to his schedule. Even if he came to the office, he didn't talk much to us. He locked himself in his small office and kept talking on the phone. No one knew what business they were talking about. He could talk on the phone for hours at a time, sometimes not even coming out of the office for an entire day. At lunchtime, he would open the door and ask a little guy to buy him a fast food. The money for the fast food was given to the person who went to buy it. After she bought the fast food, she pushed the door open and handed it to him. He closed the door again. Just like that, day after day passed.
He said that I was his assistant, but he didn't look for me to discuss things. However, I could tell that he was under heavy pressure, but he never told me what the pressure was. Every day, I would just sit in his big office outside and secretly wonder what he was thinking inside. As soon as Hua came to the office, his brother-in-law would also come out of nowhere. Once his brother-in-law arrived, he also went into Hua's office and immediately closed the door. The two of them were whispering inside. It was impossible to hear them clearly outside the door. It was unknown what they were muttering about.
It was payday. Sister Yang made a salary form and brought it to me for verification (Hua greeted Sister Yang and I checked the salary form). I saw the names of 16 people on the salary form. Including President Hua and me, there were a total of eight people in the office, which meant that there were still eight people outside. The total monthly salary on the form is about 10,000 yuan. Hua's monthly salary is 1,200 yuan. Sister Yang, Sha, and I are all 800 yuan. The others are 500 to 600 yuan. I signed my name on the salary form and said to Sister Yang,"Your salary is quite punctual.”Sister Yang smiled."It's just a form and signature. We don't know when it will be sent. I've been working for three months, and I haven't received a single cent. Now that they had separated from Grand Dragon, who knew how long it would take.”At this moment, my heart skipped a beat."Did I fall into the 'well' again when I came to this company?”
Sister Yang knocked on President Hua's office door with the salary form. When the door opened, President Hua called for me to go in too. The office was very small, and the desk was almost against the door. I had to close the door to let Sister Yang and I sit down at the table. Hua looked at the salary sheet on the table and did not say anything for a long time. After a long while, he said," There are too many people in the company. We have to reduce a few as soon as possible.”Perhaps the words 'reducing the number of people' were directed at Sister Yang and me. It turned out that the company had no money at all. They didn't even have the money for their basic salary. Only then did she know that he was worried about his salary all day long. With Hua in such a situation, I could only secretly complain. I had only been here for a month, so if they wanted to reduce the number of people, they would have to reduce it to me first. He didn't have the money to pay his salary. He was afraid that he would leave if he didn't receive the money. It was really heart-wrenching.
Hua's next words made my depressed mood turn around a little. He said that the navel orange harvest season was approaching. In the first two years, the price of navel oranges was very high, and many navel orange businesses had made money. He also wanted to take the opportunity to get some navel oranges to solve the urgent problem of money. He asked his brother-in-law to come to his office and borrowed 100,000 yuan from his brother-in-law (who was also in the business). However, it was not used to pay wages directly. Instead, he needed to use the 100,000 yuan as the base money to earn money from the navel orange business. He had already asked his brother-in-law to transfer the money to the navel orange production area and ordered 25,000 catties at the price of four yuan per catty. The navel orange goods were directly shipped from the southern production area to Shen Zhen and sold at a price of eight yuan per catty. It was estimated that after deducting the cost (100,000 yuan capital, labor and transportation fees, etc.), they would earn at least 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, which could solve half a year's salary.
