Chapter 304
After the banquet was held for a while, Chen Shi and several senior executives went to the areas of various halls to toast the employees.
After celebrating the third floor, I went to the lobby on the second floor to toast other employees.
The banquet was held relatively late, and Chen Shi and his girlfriend stayed until after nine o'clock in the evening before returning home.
From tomorrow, the entire company will officially take a holiday, and Yu Ran also wants to go home for the New Year. As normal, she should have gone home when the holiday was on some time ago.
Similarly, Chen Shi's roommate will go home for the New Year tomorrow.
These guys had a very late last night and drank a lot of alcohol. They slept until noon before getting up. They packed their luggage and prepared to go home.
The fat boy Tong Xiaolong and the monkey are from near Rongcheng. Wu Zhe, Hao Ren and Zheng Yi are all from other provinces. The fat boy sent the three of them to the company's gathering place, and the company had a special car to take them directly to the airport.
After finishing all this, the little fat man drove home. His home is in the rural area near Han City.
In a dormitory, except Chen Shi, Xiao Fatty and Zheng Yi, everyone else does not have a driver's license and is studying.
The little fat guys have a position of m2, but their salary is not that high. According to the m1 level, they will get a salary of as many days as they go to. When there are courses in school, they can get about 4,000 yuan a month.
The positions of these roommates are quite special. The car he drives more than 100,000 yuan is considered a work car. During his work at school, the auto insurance company reimburses it, but the personal fuel consumption for the New Year has to be solved by yourself.
The New Year goods sent by the company occupy half of the space in the rear compartment. In previous years, students did not need to buy New Year goods when they went home for the New Year. The money spent on their parents when they went to school.
Now he is really rich. He paid a total of 25,000 yuan in the year-end plus holiday fees. In addition to the salary settled last year and the previous deposit, he now has more than 50,000 yuan in deposits. He wants to borrow some money from his parents during the Chinese New Year, and then buy a small house from the money Chen Shi promised to borrow.
My girlfriend Li Yan also mentioned that she wanted to live in Rongcheng.
The company issued a shopping card worth 2,000 yuan. He went to the company's clothing store to buy himself a set of clothing and then bought a pair of shoes for his parents.
I went to the designated supermarket to buy some New Year’s goods and spent 2,000 yuan. During the New Year, I really didn’t spend money, but looking at the New Year’s goods in the back carriage, my face was filled with a smug smile.
After buying things, I drove home directly.
On the way, I was thinking about how surprised my parents were when I saw them driving home.
He went to the gas station to fill up the gas. He learned his driver's license during the holidays. He had only been driving for a few days after getting the car. He didn't dare to get on the highway. He ran around for an hour or two and finally saw the familiar environment. He had not been home for several months and had a strong longing for him.
The car was driving on the winding rural cement road. The fat man deliberately lowered the car speed, opened the window, and ran into a familiar villager. He stopped the car to say hello.
The villagers also said hello curiously, and opened their eyes widened to see who was passing by and who was in the driver's seat.
"This car is very good, there's the Volkswagen SUV."
"Hey, that's not the son of Tong Zejiang's family at the entrance of the village. It seems that he is still in college. Why did he drive home?"
"I guess I'm borrowing someone else's car, Rongcheng's license plate."
"The car I borrowed doesn't feel like it. It's very new and it costs more than 100,000 yuan. Who would lend it to others? Anyway, my car won't lend it to others."
“That might be rented.”
"Most of the rental cars are used cars, and they are not cheap. He is just a student."
A couple looked at the car that was leaving and curiously discussed the fat man's car.
Tong Xiaolong drove the Volkswagen low-end SUV gracefully with one hand. Compared to those who don’t have many cars in the village, he felt that his life had reached its peak. He didn’t show off when he came back, and he didn’t feel like him.
The car drove smoothly around the rural trail. When passing a village intersection, I saw a peer pulling a box and carrying a big luggage bag with a little effort. From the side, I seemed to have met an acquaintance.
On the way, I met a classmate from the high school class, and I was from the same village. Seeing that he was carrying his luggage, he must have just returned from school.
"Li Jian?"
The little fat man honked the horn, stretched out his head and looked back.
Sure enough, I was a high school classmate.
Li Jian, who had just returned from university holiday, took the train to the city and then took the county bus. He got off when he passed by the village entrance. He was just in a hurry and couldn't inform his family to pick him up. He had to walk with his suitcase and walk home from the village entrance. The road was not far away, more than a kilometer, but he was dragging his box and carrying a bag. The things were quite heavy and he had to walk for twenty minutes. It was winter at this time, but he was sweating behind him.
I saw a Volkswagen SUV driving by my side, and it cost more than 170,000 yuan to get the car. I really envy those who have cars. But the license plate is from Rongcheng. Some people in the village work in Rongcheng, but there are not many families with cars in the village, and there are even fewer cars that can afford to buy more than 100,000 yuan. I am a little curious about whose car.
As I was curious, the car was parked more than ten meters ahead, and someone called him out of the car.
Seeing that familiar face, Tong Xiaolong?
How could it be him in the cab?
Li Jian is still aware of his family's family situation. They are all in the countryside and are average. It is no longer easy to send children to college. It is impossible to buy a car worth more than 100,000 yuan. His family is not a rich man.
But at this time, seeing the car backward and retreating to his side, Li Jian asked with a smile: "Fatty, why are you? I thought it was someone from the city who drove in."
"Hey, get in the car, I'll take you home." Tong Xiaolong parked the car, opened the car door, and enthusiastically reared the car.
"It's not good to ask you to give it away. It's almost home, only a few hundred meters away."
The little fat man photographed Li Jian who was taller than him: "It's so long-winded. You should be polite to me. After all, they are from the same village or in the same class."
"Hey, okay." Li Jian put the box and backpack in the car embarrassedly. Looking at the luggage that took up a lot of space, the very exquisite interior inside the car, he asked curiously, "Fatty, did your dad buy a car?"
"No, my own." The little fat man laughed and said with a slight smug look on his face.
Li Jian was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Your? I remember you seem to be just a sophomore, right?"
"I'm a sophomore and part-time job. Alas, it's a long story. Do you know Chen Shi?" The little fat man narrowed his eyes and closed the car.
"You are talking about the rich man Chen Shi? Of course I know, but what does this have to do with you?"
"That's my roommate. I work part-time in his company. This car is a reward," said the fat man, with a faint expression, as if he was just as plain as drinking boiled water, but in Li Jian's opinion, he was very shocked.
I haven't come back to my senses for a long time. This college is better than Tong Xiaolong, but I can't compare with it.
Li Jian said enviously and admired: "It's so amazing. I got the tuition and living expenses for this university from my family. I was exhausted from sending flyers for only one hundred yuan in one day."
"I'm just lucky, get in the car."
Two villagers walked by the roadside, looked at the car curiously and enviously. After listening to the two chatting, they realized that this was Tong Zejiang's son's great luck and he actually had a car.
Li Jian rubbed the soles of his shoes on the haystack on the roadside, then sat in the passenger cab, looking at the exquisite interior of the car, a little restrained.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, it's a matter of the way."
The little fat man smiled, put down the handbrake, returned to D gear, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards Li Yan's door.
After a while, after sending Li Jian home, the two of them nagged for a while. It was almost dark that the little fat man drove home slowly.
It was a little late, and the low beam lights were turned on. The dazzling lights were very conspicuous in this village. The villagers were thinking about whose car this was looking at the lights.
After a while, the car drove to the door, and the lights were shining on the doorstep. The sound of the car and the sound of the horns alarmed the people in the house and poked their heads out, wondering which guy drove the car to his own door or which distinguished guest came to the door.
When Tong Zejiang saw the familiar face, he was stunned for a few moments. He read that rightly, he was his own son. A woman in her forties followed behind him was Tong Xiaolong's mother.
"Whose car is this? You are not afraid of being damaged if you borrow a friend's car."
"Son, why did you drive back?"
Tong Xiaolong couldn't explain his parents' doubts for a while, so he opened the rear compartment: "Dad, mom, take the things in the car home first."
My parents saw the goods in the back carriage for so many years and were really curious: "Who gave it to so many things?"
"Oh, it's a long story. Didn't I tell you before? I work part-time at a friend's company. This New Year's goods are sent by the company. This car is the company's car. It is specially equipped for me to work. It will be mine after a few years of work."
My parents looked unbelievable, there was no such good thing.
Especially Tong Zejiang, I felt that his son had been cheated, but I looked at it carefully: "If you want to say that your figure is not much more expensive than pork, I feel that there is nothing to cheat."
"Dad, you compare the pig with me."
"I think pigs are more useful. At least they can be sold for money. You have spent twenty years on this money, so I still worry about it."
The family was chattering and moved the things in the car back to the house a few minutes later. When the parents knew that their son was back, they cooked more food. While eating, the family listened to their son telling about the school and company.
At the beginning, Tong Zejiang didn't believe it very much, and Tong Xiaolong's mother didn't believe it even more, thinking that her son had done something bad.
In the past, my son also talked about working part-time, so that his family no longer had to pay for living expenses.
Unexpectedly, not long after, my son drove a car back, which was rewarded by his company. So my family has a car family in the village.
"Son, you're working in your sophomore year. Will you lose your studies?" The parents said with some concern.
"Mom, dad, no, Chen Shi said that if anyone fails the class, he can't work part-time. We have to work harder and squeeze out time to read books. My grades have improved a lot compared to freshman year."
"Then you have to do your best and not let others down. I think your classmate takes care of the people in your dormitory too much. He is young and has any work experience."
"Of course we know that Lao Chen took care of us for the sake of his friends. At the beginning, we really couldn't help him, but he has been working for almost a year and has experience, so he can help."
"Son, if you graduate and find a better job, will you suffer if you stay in your classmate's company?" Tong Xiaolong's mother said with some concern.
When Tong Zejiang heard what his wife said, he interrupted and scolded before she could finish her words: "What do you know about you? You can't gossip. My classmates are taking care of our son now. Do you want our son to be ungrateful? Besides, you can get as much money as you can do as you can."
Tong Xiaolong agreed with his father: "Mom, you are so worried. Dad is right. If it weren't for my classmate, I would probably find it difficult to find a job after graduation. Even if I find a job, it would be great to find a starting salary of three or four thousand yuan.
Now, my monthly salary is more than 10,000 yuan, but I get a salary of several days when I work for a few days, and I can get 4,000 yuan a month, and I get a bonus of more than 20,000 yuan at the end of the year. Anyway, I am satisfied with even such a salary in my life. What’s more, if I work for more than ten years, I may not be able to get such a salary, so what else can I be dissatisfied with?”
Tong Zejiang patted his son's shoulder and said solemnly: "It's still my son who understands friendship. If you follow your classmate's assets of tens of billions of dollars, you will never treat you badly. If you have other small thoughts, your classmate's friendship will no longer exist."
Next, Tong Xiaolong mentioned the matter of buying a house. If he really bought a house, such a big thing would still have to mention it to his parents.
However, his parents couldn't afford much money, but his son also had income, so he didn't have to worry about the down payment, so the family still had the ability to pay back the monthly loan.
The family of three was talking about Chen Shi’s legend that night.
There was any strange news in the village, and it spread very quickly. The next night, Tong Xiaolong was a college student, and a car worth more than 100,000 yuan was spread throughout the village. Some villagers were curious and went to his house to take a look.
