Chapter 145 has ideas.
At 8 p.m., Yang Ke had just finished preparing dinner and sat down when Liu Haizhong arrived.
"Yang Ke, I'm here."
Liu Haizhong didn't dare to call himself his second uncle, but simply said that he had arrived in a low-key manner.
"Please sit down, Second Uncle."
Yang Ke waved his hand, signaling Liu Haizhong to sit down and chat.
His room is quite large; he's set up a partitioned area on his side, which can be used as a living room for drinking tea while he sleeps.
"Um, um."
Liu Haizhong wanted to speak, but he was too embarrassed to say anything.
"Second Uncle, the foreman in your workshop is going to be replaced."
Yang Ke pondered for a long time and only came up with this location after asking Wu Jun.
The team leader is also a leader, so Liu Haizhong is enough.
Although he got the job through connections, he was no pushover as a level 7 fitter, so it was no problem for him.
"Okay, okay, the team leader is very good."
Liu Haizhong was very happy after hearing this, feeling that this was the first step on his road to success.
"Yes, it's Second Uncle. The team leader's words aren't up to me."
Yang Ke gestured to indicate.
"I understand, I understand, I don't know..."
At this point, Liu Haizhong was already fantasizing about how he would act like a big shot after becoming the team leader. He didn't care much about Yang Ke's expression and thought it was normal.
Yang Ke made a hand gesture, which actually meant 5, while Liu Haizhong looked conflicted.
Is this 50 or 500? It's hard for me to drive like this.
要是1或者2，他刘海中包是直接拿100或者200出来，但这个5就有点心疼了。
You have to understand that even with his salary supporting his family, he might not be able to save 500 yuan a year.
"Second Uncle, this is a one-time thing. If you're so worried about it, then others won't hesitate either."
Yang Ke looked at Liu Haizhong with an expression that said, "You've hit the jackpot, why are you still hesitating?"
Actually, being a team leader isn't that difficult, but it seems different to Liu Haizhong.
"Ok, no problem."
Liu Haizhong couldn't resist the temptation and agreed.
Liu Haizhong, worried about unforeseen circumstances, immediately went back to get the money after reaching an agreement.
Upon learning of this, the second aunt felt sorry for Liu Haizhong at first, but soon she and Liu Haizhong were overjoyed to be the group leader.
Yang Ke knew that even if Liu Haizhong became the team leader, he couldn't do anything to Yi Zhonghai, but at least he could be a little tougher, and that was enough.
Three days later, Liu Haizhong was promoted to group leader. Upon returning to the courtyard, he immediately convened a meeting to announce the news to everyone.
"Old Liu, you're doing great."
Yi Zhonghai was also quite surprised.
He's only 48 years old now. I never expected that Liu Haizhong, who is a few years younger than him, could become a team leader. To say that he, a level 8 worker, has no ambitions would be a lie.
"I never expected that our second uncle would become a minor leader."
Yang Ke naturally came to support him, mainly to make his bangs look bigger so that he could cause trouble for Yi Zhonghai.
"You're too kind. Now that we've become group leaders, we can't be stingy. Let's share the joy and make progress together."
I learned this trick from Yang Ke.
"Second Uncle is really amazing, he's become a leader so quickly, congratulations!"
"That's right, Second Uncle is really capable."
Many of the neighbors in the courtyard were not well-off, and since they were given half a pound of food for free, and given Liu Haizhong's happy occasion today, everyone naturally spoke politely to him.
But Liu Haizhong found it so appealing that he happily instructed his second aunt to distribute the mixed noodles that had been prepared beforehand.
There are only about 20 households in the courtyard house, and he can afford to sell about 10 kilograms of mixed flour.
After the college-wide meeting, Liu Haizhong's promotion to group leader naturally attracted a lot of attention, especially from Xu Damao and the Jia family.
Xu Damao, like Liu Haizhong, wanted to advance his career, but unfortunately his father-in-law's family wouldn't help him. He had the money, but no connections.
I contacted Yang Ke before, but he declined because we weren't very familiar with each other.
Now that Liu Haizhong has been promoted, he figured that Yang Ke was probably behind it, so he went to Liu Haizhong's house that very night to sound him out.
"Da Mao, I'm not going to tell anyone anyway."
Liu Haizhong's words are really lacking in sophistication. He meant that it does exist, but he can't say it.
Xu Damao just wanted to confirm whether it was really someone else helping him. Since Liu Haizhong had said so, Xu Damao knew where he was putting in the effort.
"Brother Yang, let's have a drink together tonight. It's been a long time since we ate and drank together."
The next day, Xu Damao found Yang Ke and talked about drinking that night.
"No problem, Damao, I'll definitely be there tonight."
Yang Ke roughly knew what was going on and had no objections.
He actually went there quite a few times over the past year. Each time, he would get Xu Damao drunk and chat with Lou Xiao'e for a while before leaving. However, the two of them were still just neighbors who got along well.
When Lou Xiao'e goes home, she brings something with her, and when she passes by the front yard, she also brings something for Yang Ke. The group has a pretty good relationship.
During dinner that evening, at the Jia family's place.
"Mom, I heard that Second Uncle got promoted because Yang Ke helped him."
"Do you think I should ask him for help? That way, if I get promoted, our family's life will be a little easier."
At this point, Jia Dongxu also started talking to Jia Zhangshi.
He said that only because Jia Zhangshi controlled all the money, and he had no money anyway. Getting promoted would mean everyone could eat better food.
"That works too, go ahead and talk to them."
Jia Zhangshi pretended to be confused.
"Mom, you're just talking nonsense. How am I supposed to get someone to help me?"
Jia Dongxu was speechless; his mother was truly stingy.
"Then you should ask how much it is first. I really don't have any more."
Madam Jia frowned, but then she thought that it wasn't right for Jia Dongxu's work grade to remain stagnant, so she decided to think of a solution.
"Okay, I'll go ask first."
Jia Dongxu arrived at Yang Ke's side very quickly.
However, Yang Ke was just about to go to Xu Damao's house, and since he didn't think much of Jia Dongxu, he just gave a perfunctory reply and left.
"Dongxu, what did Yang Ke say?"
Madam Jia was still very concerned about this matter, and as soon as she saw Jia Dongxu return, she immediately asked about it.
"No way. He said he couldn't do it and that he was going to have dinner at Xu Damao's house, so we wouldn't talk about this anymore."
Jia Dongxu was helpless.
He was older than Yang Ke, and he couldn't bring himself to ask Yang Ke about these things. After Yang Ke said that, he naturally didn't want to ask anymore.
"That's easy, it's probably because Xu Damao has also set his sights on Yang Ke."
"If Xu Damao can also succeed, then it proves that Yang Ke is truly capable and genuinely willing to help others. In that case, I will agree to the expense."
Jia Zhangshi expressed her opinion.
She was reluctant before because she was afraid that if she failed to get on the hook, she would lose face.
If Xu Damao could do it too, why wouldn't she be willing to pay the money?
Yang Ke didn't expect the Jia family to be so brave. He assumed that Jia Dongxu had come to take advantage of the situation after learning about it, so he simply dismissed him.
Given the Jia family's situation, would they be willing to give up their money if I really asked?
And so, Yang Ke arrived at Xu Damao's house with a bottle of Moutai. Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e politely joined Yang Ke for a meal.
This time, Xu Damao didn't dare to drink too much. He could only have a few drinks before quickly putting down his glass and talking to Yang Ke about serious business.
