In the evening, only seven or eight people ate together. This was Li Lei's first meal after arriving at Jiatai Concrete Company.
I have to say that the food here is really different from the original toy factory. There are two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish and a soup. The taste is also very good. After all, it is a small stove and the chef's skills are also good. The key is that it is like eating at a buffet.
, you can eat whatever you want.
Li Lei heard that life in concrete mixing stations is very good now, because this industry has just emerged and is very profitable. To describe it in one sentence, it is called "when the machine rings, there is ten thousand taels of gold!"
Therefore, relatively speaking, the treatment of concrete mixing plants is relatively good.
Li Lei suddenly felt that he was really lucky. He finally found a more satisfactory job this time, and everything seemed to be going well.
And this time, the majors are quite similar. It is estimated that none of the classmates in the class can find a job that matches their majors. Most of them are assembly line workers in coastal electronics factories, toy factories and other factories.
Such good news must be told to parents as soon as possible, Li Lei thought.
But there was no phone at home, so Li Lei had to run to a public phone booth and make a call to his aunt's house in the town, asking her to tell his parents when they saw him tomorrow morning, and he would call at 12 noon.
.
It was night, Li Lei tossed and turned, and didn't fall asleep until after twelve o'clock.
A new day began. Li Lei was the first to get out of bed, grab the washbasin, hang a towel on his body, grab a mouthwash cup, toothpaste and toothbrush, and go outside to wash up.
The cold tap water made Li Lei more awake. He looked at himself in the mirror. His twenty-year-old face looked haggard and weather-beaten. He had indeed had a hard time in the past few months.
Lei weighed himself in the laboratory and found that he had lost fifteen pounds in the past few months.
Li Lei smiled at himself in the mirror and said in his heart: "Li Lei, starting from today, you have to be a brand new you and work hard!"
For twenty-year-old Li Lei, he doesn’t know what era he is in, nor what his future will be like. He can only seize the moment. At least now he finally sees hope, which is a good thing.
.
This era is actually a very good era, but everyone's destiny is different. Many people who seem unsuccessful are successful in the end.
And many people who seemed like they should succeed ended up failing.
There was a time when technical secondary school students were very popular, especially in rural areas. If a child from a certain family was admitted to a technical secondary school, it was really no different from being admitted to university.
It's just that Li Lei has caught up with a bad time, and a technical secondary school diploma has become of little use. Many jobs that seem to be more respectable require a college diploma or above, and those ordinary workers only need a diploma.
You only need to graduate from junior high school.
This technical secondary school diploma caused many technical secondary school students to suffer a lot later, but they did not have the opportunity to choose again.
Some people take self-study exams or obtain university diplomas through correspondence courses. However, this kind of diploma is still not as good as a full-time university diploma, and it is far from it. Many units will clearly state in their recruitment notices that they require full-time students.
.
Li Lei is also thinking that after the probation period is passed and his job becomes stable, he will sign up to take the self-study exam and get a college diploma.
Why take the self-study exam? Because Li Lei knows that the cost of obtaining a college diploma is the lowest by self-study exam. The total cost of purchasing textbooks and examination fees for each course will not exceed 100 yuan. After passing more than a dozen courses in the junior college,
The total cost will not exceed 2,000 yuan, including transportation fees and so on.
There are more than a dozen courses for an undergraduate degree. As long as you can successfully pass every exam, it will only cost you more than a thousand yuan to get an undergraduate diploma. The combined fees for a junior college and an undergraduate degree will only cost you more than three thousand yuan.
If you take correspondence courses or other adult college degree examinations, the cost will be much higher, probably 10,000 to 20,000, or a little more, and you have to go to class. It is not as flexible as self-study examinations.
As for his major, Li Lei hasn't decided yet. He needs to do some research to find out.
However, Li Lei had some ideas. He would choose either Fudan University or Tongji University for examination. Both universities are in Shanghai, but they are not far from Suzhou.
Isn't that guy Zhang Dongqiang studying at Fudan University? Li Lei thought that if he passed the self-study examination, he could also get a diploma from Fudan University.
Of course, from a professional perspective, if you want to work in commercial concrete in the future, it would be best to choose Tongji University, because Tongji University only has a major in architecture, and it is among the top in the country.
After washing up, when Li Lei returned to the dormitory, the other two people also got up.
After saying hello, Li Lei took the rice bowl to the canteen to have breakfast.
Breakfast is steamed buns with rice porridge and pickles.
The taste was not bad. Li Lei ate three steamed buns in one go, plus a large bowl of porridge.
You need to replenish your body now, otherwise you will definitely be tired when you start giving birth later. Your body is the capital of revolution, and Li Lei knows this very well.
There was still nothing to do in the morning. I just read the standards and specifications related to concrete. Of course, I didn’t just read them casually. Director Zhang had said that there would be an exam at that time. If he failed the exam, the company would consider dismissal.
Although the standards and specifications were boring, Li Lei still read them carefully. He couldn't be dismissed just because he failed the exam. How could he be worthy of the major he had studied for four years?
Of course, Li Lei only took one concrete technology course in his four years of technical secondary school, which was relatively old knowledge and was basically different from the standards and specifications he has now.
Standard specifications are very detailed, and each article and each model is designed and summarized by concrete experts through a large number of tests.
After lunch, Li Lei took time to go to the public phone booth outside and made a call to his aunt's house.
Sure enough, my parents were waiting.
Li Lei quickly told them the good news that he had found this job.
When the old couple heard this, their son found a new job with a pretty good salary of 700 yuan, which in their opinion was a high salary.
Li Shu said happily: "Li Lei, work hard, your parents don't expect you to have any big future. It's fine if you can make money outside, but you can't spend money randomly outside, you know?"
Li Lei smiled and said: "Dad, don't worry, how could I spend money indiscriminately? I have thought about it. When I pass the probation period, I will get a commission, which is more than a thousand yuan a month.
Then I will send a thousand yuan back every month."
"More than a thousand yuan?" When Li Shu and Wang Yuying heard this, they both couldn't believe it. If they could really earn more than a thousand yuan a month, then this job couldn't be better!
