The Era of Hard Work

There were not many people in the small auditorium, but the atmosphere was quite warm. As one of the new entrants, the young Wang Dong came down from the stage holding a certificate in his hand. Many people stood up and shook hands with him, even the cameras of the TV station followed him. Walk.

Wang Dong returned to his seat, looked down at the card-style certificate and the big red book given by the county, and felt a sense of sublimation in an instant.

Twenty-six years old, with these, anyone who sees him will call him young and promising.

Mr. Lu Dong, general manager of Lu's Catering Co., Ltd., please! The man presiding over the meeting introduced in the voice of a news broadcast: Lu Dong, male, is from Lujia Village, Qingzhao County, Quannan City, Taidong Province. He was born on February 2, 1980. On the 2nd of the month...

Wang Dong looked at the person who had already walked to the rostrum. His slightly dark face looked too young.

Nineteen? Post-80s? The post-80s generation is so powerful, the post-70s generation just started to shine, and the post-80s generation rushed forward to seize power?

Where did this young man come from? Could it be the prince of some family?

A man younger than Wang Dong approached and said quietly, Boss, this is the neighbor of our new store, the store at 8:00 Online in University Town.

Wang Dong thought for a while, and connected: Lu's Malatang?

The young man said, That's the shop.

The voice of the host on the rostrum sounded again: In the past year, Lu Dong has made extraordinary achievements as an ordinary person. Sennan City Top Ten Outstanding League Members and other honors...

When Wang Dong heard this, he was a little surprised. Could it be that he just piled in honors abruptly?

On the rostrum, the leader of Zhengxie awarded the certificate to Lu Dong, shook hands with him, and encouraged him softly: You have done a very good job, keep working hard.

Lu Dong said earnestly, Keep going!

The two shook hands and took a group photo. Lu Dong walked back with his certificate in hand. He looked very natural, as if the TV head camera did not exist.

Many people stood up and shook hands, and Lu Dong smiled back one by one.

This is not only an identity, but also a platform. Before the conference, he had exchanged business cards with many people.

Several of them are in business, and they may be able to cooperate at any time.

Lu Dong returned to his seat and sat down. Du Xiaobing, who sneaked in by virtue of his relationship with the Youth League Committee, glanced at his ID enviously, and said in a low voice, My old man is in his forties when he got into this book.

That's from the city. Lu Dong smiled, and his voice was also very low: I'm from the county, so there's no comparison.

Du Xiaobing saw it very clearly: I don't know you? Are you thinking, first in the county, next in the city, then in the province, or even...

Lu Dong whispered, It's too far, too far.

There was another voice on the rostrum, and the two stopped talking, waiting patiently for the conference to end.

Half an hour later, all the new leaders took a group photo, and today's meeting is over.

Lu Dong exchanged business cards with a few people, and walked out with Du Xiaobing, saying hello to Wang Zheng on the way.

If something happens, I will call and notify you.

At the parking area, before getting in the car, someone came from the side: Hello, Mr. Lu.

Lu Dong turned his head to look, this man was also young, about twenty-five or six years old, with a short stature, but a very big head, and the index finger on the extended right hand was missing a third.

Hello, Mr. Wang. Lu Dong shook hands with him and remembered him.

Wang Dong just met Lu Dong today, but Lu Dong has known him for a long time. After all, it is normal for a student who is a fool in junior high and high school to know the owner of the largest billiard hall, game room and video hall in the locality.

This person is quite famous among the students. It is not easy to calm down those little yellow hairs full of young and Dangerous kids. Many people call him Datou Wang.

Wang Dong smiled enthusiastically: Speaking of which, we are still neighbors. I have a store in the university town, which is next to Mr. Lu's store.

Lu Dong thought for a while and came to understand: On line at eight o'clock?

Adversary! Wang Dong still said with a smile: A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, so please take care of me in the future.

Lu Dong said politely: In the future, I have to ask Mr. Wang to take care of me.

While speaking, he recalled carefully that there was very little information about Wang Dong. Unlike Yang Fugui, this person had never left any impression on him.

Lu Dong didn't take it seriously, smiled and exchanged some polite words with Wang Dong, and then exchanged contact information.

These days, it is not easy for people who can open an Internet bar and even drive it to a university town.

After getting into Santana, Du Xiaobing said: It turns out that he is the boss of 8 o'clock Online, and he has to give a discount when he drives to go online.

Lu Dong smiled: Old Du, do you often go online?

Du Xiaobing said: I heard my sister talk about the Internet. Recently, Ning Xue always talked about surfing the Internet, so I learned a little bit about it.

But Lu Dong said: Old Du, we have agreed that the part of the dividends that can be settled in the store will not be until the end of the year.

I didn't ask for it in advance. Du Xiaobing didn't understand what this meant.

Lu Dong didn't bother to say any more, and put the documents carefully in his bag.

The identity represented by the certificate will undoubtedly discourage many people with malicious intentions.

But it is also a responsibility.

Now that you have it, you must be worthy of this responsibility and the national emblem on it.

Lu Dong's cell phone rang suddenly, and he took it out to see that Team Zhang called and connected: Captain Zhang, it's me, Lu Dong.

Over there, Team Zhang said simply: I just heard the news that Su Xiaoshan may come out before noon.

Lu Dong said: Thank you, Team Zhang. He said some polite words, put away the phone, and asked, Master Wang, are you in a hurry to go back?

Master Wang said with a smile: Mr. Du said, I will serve you today.

Lu Dong will say something later, and he is not polite: Let's go to the Qingzhao Detention Center and pick someone up.

You have a friend in? Du Xiaobing was curious.

Lu Dong simply told about Su Xiaoshan's matter: No matter what, he helped me walk around Longtan and Tiger's Cave, so I can't just ignore it.

Do you know what I like the most about you? Be righteous to your friends! Lao Du is actually more righteous than Lu Dong: He is helping our company, and he should help him both emotionally and rationally.

Santana walked south out of the compound, and soon came to the gate of the detention center. Lu Dong went over to ask, knowing that he hadn't come out yet.

After completing the formalities, Su Xiaoshan changed into his clothes, put away all his documents, and walked out of the gate with a bright bald head.

Going out, the sun shone over, Su Xiaoshan's eyes were a little uncomfortable, and he closed them slightly.

The bald head is shining brightly, but he has never shone in his thirty years of life.

Originally received relocation funds, the future just started to shine, and fell into a pit.

Fortunately, the large group of people who dug the pit were sent in by him himself.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoshan was inexplicably happy, but his depression surged up again in an instant. He was sentenced to probation, but he didn't have to go to jail, but he had to report to the police station in the university city where his household registration is located. I heard that he had to write some ideological reports. stuff.

Doesn't this kill people?

How will you do business in the future?

Small!

Hearing someone shout, Su Xiaoshan opened his eyes, adapted to the sunlight, saw a car parked in front, and two people stood in front of the car, the one with the dark complexion was wearing a formal jacket, the handsome one was wearing a sportswear .

Why are you here? Su Xiaoshan was curious.

Lu Dong pointed at the car: Come here to pick you up, didn't you have lunch? Let's go, find a place to eat first.

Su Xiaoshan looked around, then followed Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing into the car.

Santana went back to the county seat and stopped at the entrance of the small restaurant where Lu Dong invited Song Na to dinner last time. A few people went in and sat down by the window on the second floor where there was no one there.

Lu Dong asked next to each other, and then ordered.

Su Xiaoshan turned his head and looked out of the window. The Hailong Building across the road was deserted. There seemed to be a seal in front of the door, and no one could see it.

Lu Dong finished ordering, waited for the waiter to leave, and said, They haven't been around for decades, so they can't come out.

Su Xiaoshan turned around and looked at Lu Dong: Thank you.

Lu Dong understood what he meant: I also want to protect myself.

Su Xiaoshan smiled: You recommended me and gave me a chance to avenge myself. Lu Dong, you don't know, I live in a single room these days, thinking that those bastards will stay in there for the rest of their lives, I Just laugh.

To say that Lu Dong can empathize with Su Xiaoshan is pure nonsense, he has never experienced such a thing as Su Xiaoshan, let alone experience the pain of ruining his family.

Du Xiaobing said: The past is in the past, let's look forward.

Lu Dong asked directly: Xiao Shan, what do you want to do when you come out?

Su Xiaoshan was instantly dejected: What can I do? In the past two years, everything has been abandoned, and only cheating is left. He took a sip from the water glass: I can't do cheating anymore, I have to go every month from now on. Reported in the university town, but also to report the state of mind, my brothers are not as lucky as me, and those who are arrested are sentenced to real punishment, and no one wants to do it.

Lu Dong said: I remember you said that you used to open big cards in the mine? Do you still have the book?

Yes. Su Xiaoshan replied.

Lu Dong said again: If you want to, follow me. I lack a truck driver here. The main job is to accompany me to buy and pull goods.

After all, Su Xiaoshan lingered for a while, and said: Lu Dong, don't feel that you owe me, in fact, I owe you. He was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the seized Hailong Building: Okay, I'll do it with you.

After what happened with Yang Fugui and Ma Yunlai, he could see clearly that he was going to a dead end. If he went in, who would take care of his father?

You can't let the old man have no home for the rest of his life, and set up a stall to repair and change locks when he is old?

Lu Dong said again: Let's not talk about the past, and don't touch it in the future.

Su Xiaoshan was silent again, and after a while he said: Don't touch it, it's a clean break! I still have to provide for my father!

After a meal, it was agreed that Su Xiaoshan would take a rest for two days to deal with family affairs and police station affairs, and then go to University City to work as a truck driver at Lu's Catering Company.

Santana sent Su Xiaoshan to his father first, and then returned to the University City. Before the car left, Lu Dong took a cigarette to Master Wang.

In the evening, when Lu Dong returned home, Hu Chunlan saw the certificate and asked Lu Dong to put it under the photo frame in the main room.

Give your father a stick of incense. Hu Chunlan urged: Lu Dong, you walked the right way, and you will follow the right way in the future!

Lu Dong replied: Mom, I know.

Hu Chunlan glanced at the photo frame, then at Lu Dong, and smiled gratifiedly: Your father will definitely be proud of you.
