Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Wang Ming felt a little nervous.

He is a member of the construction team of Samadhi Building.

To say that he is a remarkable person is not the case.

After graduation, he joined the construction team of Samadhi Building and worked as a designer in the team.

The drawings he drew were just average. There were too many talented people in this construction team. Those who graduated from Peking University and Tsinghua University were many times better than him. The more he studied, the more desperate he became.

Because he felt that no matter how hard he studied, he couldn't seem to keep up with the progress.

Now, hearing that the construction team was going to change, he became even more uneasy.

Will he be fired?

laid off.

This word is not unfamiliar to him.

His parents were laid-off workers, and he knew clearly what happened to their family after they were laid off.

Is it his turn now?

"Wang Ming, the leader is calling you."

"Okay." Wang Ming responded, took two quick steps, turned around and asked the person who came: "Brother Li, what did the leader call me for?"

"do not know."

"Well... okay." Wang Ming took some hesitant steps.

After hesitating for a few minutes, I could only push the door open.

Inside the door was his leader.

"Leader." Wang Ming shouted.

"Oh, Wang Ming, come and sit down." The leader invited Wang Ming to sit down.

Wang Ming sat down obediently, waiting for the leader's next words.

"It's like this, Wang Ming. Our construction team is going to expand. As you know, we agreed last year to set up a construction company. I'm planning to set up my own team. Do you plan to join my team?"

"Ah?" Wang Ming was dumbfounded. Why did he bring in a gang? And what was the point of bringing him in? Was there anything he was worth using?

"That's right." The leader handed him a cigarette.

He immediately stood up and took it with both hands.

"Hey, don't be so nervous." The leader waved his hand and motioned him to sit down: "We are all technical people, there is no need to beat around the bush, I will just say it straight. As for you, to be honest, your level is average."

When Wang Ming heard this, he didn't feel insulted. If he compared himself with the guys outside, he was tall. But if he compared himself with the construction team of Samadhi Building, he was sorry. In this unit, even some foreign companies had to come here to learn. Who did he think he was? He was just a nobody.

But why would you invite yourself in general?

"I have another job offer now, I wonder if you are interested."

"What position?"

"Sale."

"Sale?"

"Yes, it requires a certain level of technical skills, and this job may earn you much more than you currently earn. I think you should be quite suitable."

"Can I...can it?"

"Try it. By the way, if you close a deal, you'll get a lot of commission. Think about it, how much does a renovation cost? Even if I give you a 2-3% commission, it's not a small amount. Maybe one deal will earn you more than your monthly salary."

"Then... let me try?"

Hearing the price, Wang Ming was also tempted.

"Then give it a try. You know the quality of our products. Tomorrow, go to the headquarters for training. When you come back, you can start working directly."

"That's fine."

----

"Wife, I've looked for so many houses. It's so tiring." Zhang San squatted on the side of the road and sighed, feeling that life was full of helplessness.

"Tiring? Why is this tiring? We will be living in this room for decades to come. What's wrong with finding a better one? Come on, come on, I think this one is good."

"If you ask me, why not just go to the countryside and find someone to do the job yourself?"

"If you tidy it up yourself, it won't be as nice as other people's decoration. It's so tacky. Okay, this is the last one! If it's okay, it's okay. If not, forget it." Li Ping was also very annoyed.

Both husband and wife are highly educated, so they have good vision. However, the decoration on the market nowadays is bold and unrestrained. It is nothing but copying. I don’t know who they copied from, but they are all similar. It was okay at the beginning, but later on, everyone was the same, so I felt that it was not interesting anymore.

Wang Ming was standing at the door and saw a young couple walking over.

His eyes lit up.

He walked over with a folder in his hand: "You two, do you want to decorate?"

"Ah? Yes, what kind of decoration do you have here?" Li Ping also spoke quickly.

"What decoration?" Wang Ming was stunned by the question. It was not that he did not receive adequate training, but there were too many things and he did not know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing that Wang Ming was a little down, Li Ping sighed, thinking that this time it was probably ruined again. Who knew that Wang Ming's next sentence would make her feel a little numb.

“There are all kinds of decorations.”

"You are so arrogant." Zhang San curled his lips and said, "Brother, if you want to do business, be honest. No one can say that there is any decoration."

"Really? Look, this was all done by our company." Wang Ming straightened his chest when he talked about this and showed the document to the two of them.

"Wait, you guys did this Samadhi Building?"

"hold head high."

"But don't they accept outside workers?!"

"Oh, they just came out this year. I was also one of the first batch to come out."

Li Ping and Zhang San looked at each other, both in disbelief.

Let's talk about inquiring.

Of course there is a plan.

Regardless of the decoration style, the quality must be good.

After asking around, almost everyone pointed to one place, the staff community.

Yes, the name is so casual, it’s called Employee Community.

But it is the first employee community in the country and is beautifully decorated.

This staff community was built by Samadhi Building.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in this era. For example, rolling mills and steel mills have their own family quarters. But if you want to say which one is as famous as the employee quarters of Samadhi Building, there is really no such thing.

Zhang San has seen it, and it is still as beautiful and comfortable as before, almost ten years later. It is a pity that it is not for sale to the public, otherwise he would have wanted to buy a house there a long time ago.

"real or fake?"

"Why would I lie to you? What type of decoration do you want? A factory? A wedding room? A residence? A shop? We can do it all and we have experience." Wang Ming was not bragging. Samadhi Tower had plenty of experience in this area.

"Can you guys do the staff quarters?"

"That's it, it's a little outdated. It was developed by Professor Wu in our department more than ten years ago, and it has been updated to the third generation now. Otherwise, let's go in and have a chat. There are tables inside and we can have a drink."

"Okay, okay, let's go, go." Li Ping's interest was immediately aroused.

As soon as you enter, you will see a huge sand table with houses of different sizes placed on it.
