Chapter 100 Appointment
Chapter 100 Appointment
Jiang Qibin ordered two meals, ate one and left the other one aside without touching it.
He looked up from time to time, his brow furrowed, looking worried.
"Xiao Jiangzi, your master is not here?" Song Tiegen stretched out his feet and put them on the stool next to him.
Jiang Qibin said sarcastically: "Brother Ze treats me like a brother, but you like being someone else's dog. Don't think that everyone likes being a dog."
"Brother Ze? This flattery is really shameless." Song Tiegen sneered, "He's a weird guy. Anyone who gets close to him will be in trouble. You are really fearless. You actually dare to call him a brother. Don't say we didn't give you a chance. As long as you stay away from Song Ruize now, I will put in a good word for you with Brother Chen and arrange an easy job for you. How about it?"
"I'm too strong to be a dog that curries favor with the powerful. You should leave this great opportunity to yourself. I'm not lucky enough to enjoy it."
"You little bastard, don't be so shameless..." Song Tiegen grabbed Jiang Qibin's clothes on his chest and threatened him viciously.
"What are you doing again?" The officer came over.
Song Tiegen quickly loosened Jiang Qibin's clothes, fiddled with them gently for a few times, and said with a smile: "We were just joking, we didn't do anything."
"Everyone, put down your bowls. I have a few words to say," the officer said. "From today on, Chen Zhe is no longer the purchasing manager. Foremen needing anything should go to Song Ruize. Song Ruize will be selecting five people. Anyone interested can sign up with him."
"Sir, we originally followed Manager Chen. Now that Manager Chen is no longer in charge of purchasing, can we still continue to be responsible for purchasing?" Song Tiegen asked hurriedly.
In order to grab this spot, he spent a lot of money to please Chen Zhe, ran a lot of errands for him, and bullied a lot of people with him.
If Chen Zhe lost his power and his job was ruined, wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted?
Another point is that even if his job was not in vain, he would have to work with Song Ruize in the future. Given the grudge between the two of them, his good days would be over.
"Now Steward Song is in charge of the purchasing. Everything is based on Steward Song's opinion. Whoever Steward Song chooses to stay, then that person will stay."
"Where is Chen Zhe?" someone asked curiously.
"He's done something wrong. You won't see him again," the officer said. "You should take this as a warning and never follow Chen Zhe's example. Okay, keep eating!"
Song Ruize sent the officer out.
The two of them were talking about something and seemed quite familiar with it.
Upon closer inspection, the officer was Captain Feng who had eaten at Qin Huiyin's stall last time.
Jiang Qibin waited for Song Ruize to come back and greeted him excitedly.
"Brother Ze, you're amazing! You snatched Chen Zhe away in one go. I finally don't have to worry about his mood anymore."
Song Ruize nodded: "Do you want to work with me?"
"Need I say that?" Jiang Qibin grinned and said, "I just want to follow Brother Ze and enjoy the good life."
Song Ruize looked at the others and said, "Is there anyone else who can read? It doesn't matter if you can't read. If you are willing to learn, please come on, four more people."
The purchasing department doesn't have to do hard labor, which is a good thing for those with weak bodies. Besides, not everyone cares about the coffin thing. We're all miserable, so who's more noble than the other? Are those with miserable lives cursed plague gods?
In the face of interests, those little gossips are nothing.
"I!"
"I am willing!"
"Manager Song, count me in."
With the first person speaking up, others rushed to grab these spots.
Song Ruize pointed at the thin young man in the crowd: "Do you want to come?"
Jiang Qingnan didn't raise his hand because he didn't think he would be chosen. He was a quiet man who didn't socialize, and was usually the one being bullied.
Song Ruize directly pointed at him in the crowd, and he was a little stunned.
"me?"
"Yes. I know you've been educated for a few years and your handwriting is quite good."
"Okay, I do." Jiang Qingnan said excitedly.
His hands and feet were covered with blisters. If he continued working like this, he would collapse on the construction site sooner or later.
Not only did he study for a few years, he also passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. However, after passing the examination, he could not pass the imperial examination. After several years of being a burden to his family, he stopped taking the exam.
He stopped studying and wanted to find a job. However, before he found a job, his younger siblings were unhappy. They said that they had to choose someone to build the dam, and he and his second brother were newlyweds, so there was no reason to separate the newlyweds. What's more, the whole family had paid for his studies over the years, and now it was time for him to take responsibility.
He didn't want to cause chaos at home, and what his sister-in-law said made sense. As the eldest brother, he felt obligated to do this difficult task.
When Jiang Qingnan was rejoicing that he had escaped from the sea of suffering, Song Ruize pointed at the big guy Chen Yong again.
Chen Yong was from the stonemason group. He was tall, strong, and had a fierce look. Ever since Song Ruize became friends with him, the voices talking about him had decreased.
The stonemason foreman was unhappy to see Song Ruize trying to steal someone from him. Chen Yong was the ace of their team, and many of the dangerous and heavy work was assigned to him.
"Manager Song, even though I asked you to pick someone, you still have to be careful! Chen Yong is our man, it wouldn't be nice if you took him away, right?"
Song Ruize said calmly, "The county magistrate and Master Wen from the capital both said I can pick anyone I want. If Foreman Li is dissatisfied, go talk to them."
"That's really amazing. You have someone to back you up. Okay, I won't argue with you. It's my fault that I don't have the ability to please the powerful people." Foreman Li said sourly.
"Chen Yong, are you coming?" Song Ruize continued to ask Chen Yong.
Chen Yong patted his chest and said, "I'll listen to you."
"There are only two spots left," the person next to him said, "How can we stand a chance?"
"There are only five vacancies in total, but these five people aren't enough to manage procurement, so we sometimes borrow people from other teams. If there's an opportunity to add more people, I'll focus on selecting those who sign up. Jiang Qingnan is currently counting the applicants, and I'll select two from them. The rest will be on the waiting list."
“I’m signing up, I’m signing up…”
"I'll sign up too..."
Jiang Qibin pulled Song Ruize out of the crowd.
Anyway, Jiang Qingnan is in charge of statistics, so let him worry about it.
"Brother Ze, your food is ready, but it must be cold." Jiang Qibin said, "You are in charge now. I will ask them to heat it up for you and add some meat."
"No need." Song Ruize said, "I'm not that pretentious."
"Okay, then you eat it. By the way, this sauce your sister made is incredible. If I wasn't worried about it running out, I'd really like to buy half a bottle." Jiang Qibin ate the steamed buns with the sauce with an intoxicated look on his face. "Brother Ze, you're really amazing. You've directly replaced Chen Zhe's position."
"It's not that I'm great, but..." She is great.
Those ideas were hers, and he took credit for them.
