Chapter 267

Yu Jianguo worked in a tailor's shop for five years. In the fifth year, he followed the pot bellied warm state businessman to do hardware business. Of course he is still an apprentice, but this apprentice is different from the apprentice in the tailor's shop. The apprentice in the tailor's shop calls the boss master, while the waiter in the hardware store calls the boss general manager.

Yu Jianguo is a hardworking and resourceful person. Otherwise, general manager Yan who can afford to drive a car would not take him out of the tailor's shop. He took out the energy to serve the master, served the boss and customers, served tea, poured water and washed the toilet; He took out the patience of sewing buttons to inventory and keep accounts. He soon became famous in the hardware shop and became the most powerful assistant around boss Yan. But this offended the old staff in the store and the little lover of the boss.

Because the boss is very busy, he often has to entertain and go to the south to buy goods. The employees in the store often get some oil and grease while the boss is away. However, since Yu Jianguo came, the sales and inventory have been sorted out clearly, and there is no oil and water to catch. Old employees hate him so much that their teeth itch, but there's no way. Yu Jianguo works clean and has nothing wrong. Plus the boss appreciates him, he can't drive him away in vain.

Boss Yan's home is in the south. He has a little lover in this city. The woman is as docile as a cat in front of the boss. When the boss is away, she becomes a night fork. Knowing that her position could not be righted, she often secretly took money from the store, and the old employees turned a blind eye. But after the founding of the people's Republic of China came, the accounts and Inventory were all remembered, and there was no mistake at all. Although women are in charge of accounts, they can't do anything when Yu Jianguo looks at them.

The old employee and the little lover set up a bureau together to get Yu Jianguo drunk and push him on the little lover. The little lover showed a sweet shoulder and half pushed it into Yu Jianguo's arms.

Yu Jianguo, a 17 or 18-year-old guy, couldn't stand this. After drinking wine, he put his boss's little lover in his arms as soon as he was confused. When the boss came back, he was seeing this scene. The little lover shouted for help and said that Yu Jianguo bullied her. The employees also testified for the little lover, saying that Yu Jianguo had a bad heart for a long time. Someone saw him peeking at the boss's wife's bath several times, so much so.

Boss Yan got angry and slapped Yu Jianguo out. Those old employees who had long seen him but laughed and beat him up at the door of the store.

Yu Jianguo was penniless. He didn't even wear a coat, so he fell into the streets in winter again.

At that time, Yu Jianguo certainly didn't know Zhao Pengcheng. Zhao Pengcheng was still a baby running all over the mountain in open crotch pants, but Yu Jianguo knew Zhao Pengcheng's father.

In the years when he was an apprentice in the city, the people in their village still begged outside, including Zhao Pengcheng's father.

Zhao Pengcheng's father is more than ten years older than Yu Jianguo, but they are peers. Yu Jianguo calls him Lao Zhao. In the third year of Yu Jianguo's apprenticeship, Lao Zhao came to the city to meet him. Yu Jianguo asked him why he came out to beg again. Lao Zhao said that the weather was bad this year, the harvest in the field was small, and his daughter-in-law gave birth to another daughter-in-law, so the family couldn't open the pot at home.

At that time, Yu Jianguo was a primary school apprentice who had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry, but he advised Lao Zhao not to beg. Working is better than begging. Lao Zhao felt that what Yu Jianguo said was reasonable, so he broke away from the beggars and began to work on the construction site in the city.

In the winter when Yu Jianguo was beaten, after starving in the ice and snow for two days, he really had no choice, so he went to the construction site to find Lao Zhao. Lao Zhao was very righteous. Without saying a word, he took him in and asked him to stutter first on the construction site. Yu Jianguo couldn't swallow the sound of being framed, so he was very proud and did all kinds of work. The foreman saw that although Yu Jianguo was thin and weak, he was diligent, honest and smart, so he asked him to help with procurement.

After working on the construction site for three years, Yu Jianguo finally found the opportunity to purchase the hardware in the later stage of the whole project. This order turned him over. From then on, he started the business of hardware and ceramic bathroom and opened his own shop.

He and boss Yan have become competitors. They are both advertising wars and price wars. In the end, boss Yan was killed by the false account made by his little lover.

The inventory and funds in boss Yan's store have long been hollowed out by the collusion of those unreliable employees and the little lover. When he and Yu Jianguo fought a price war, in order to fill the deficit and prevent exposure, the store imported a lot of fake goods and shoddy goods. Yu Jianguo was clear about this, but he didn't make a public announcement. Until they were more and more brave and all the funds were fake, he reported it anonymously to the Administration for Industry and Commerce and informed the media.

So boss Yan went bankrupt. His little lover and those employees who beat Jianguo too much were arrested and sentenced for embezzlement, economic fraud and other charges. Yu Jianguo took revenge and was in high spirits. At that time, of course, he would not think that he would be imprisoned one day.

That year, a stone beam broke off on the construction site and crushed Lao Zhao's waist with a click.

Since then, Lao Zhao can't do heavy work and can only leave the construction site. Yu Jianguo had intended Lao Zhao to work there, but Lao Zhao could only do rough work. In addition, he was a little homesick after leaving home all year round, so he took his savings back to the countryside.

The frustrated boss Yan owed a lot of debt and was dragged up from the cold track by Yu Jianguo. Yu Jianguo said that you are a general manager. There is a business in the south. Why do you look for life and death when a store here closes. Boss Yan said he had no home. For his little lover, he divorced his original wife, and all the property in the South belonged to his wife. The money earned here was squandered by his little lover, and he lost a lot of money by fighting a price war with him.

Yu Jianguo told boss Yan about his being framed. He said that I never forgot the kindness of President Yan to lead me to the world. I'll pay your debts for you. Let's do it together. Boss Yan cried after listening. A man of dozens of years old held a young man and cried on the train platform.

Yu Jianguo and President Yan joined hands and quickly expanded the business of hardware and bathroom. Yu Jianguo opened his branch back to his hometown and became a man of the moment in the backward county.

He remembered the scene when he defected to Lao Zhao that winter. The bowl of spicy soup Lao Zhao cooked for him always warmed his heart. He helped Lao Zhao's family a lot, and he paid for the two children's study. But Lao Zhao is a stubborn donkey. He can give help occasionally. If he gives more help, he won't live or die.

Later, Lao Zhao said to him, "don't give me money again. I can't hang my old face. If you want to help, let Pengcheng work there."

At that time, Zhao Pengcheng was as old as Yu Jianguo when he was an apprentice in a tailor's shop. Although Yu Jianguo thought the child should study, Lao Zhao insisted. He didn't say anything, so he took Zhao Pengcheng away.

Zhao Pengcheng is also diligent and clever. Every time Yu Jianguo sees him, he seems to see himself that year. He said, "your baby is worthless to stay in the county and city. Either go back to study or go to the South without reading." so he handed Zhao Pengcheng over to Lao Yan and asked Lao Yan to see the world in Shenzhen.
