- Chapter 77 One is showing off, the other is not feeling it
Xu Yongming found a reason to come here on the bicycle provided by the film team today, just to see what Luo Cheng was doing in the auto repair shop.
If it hadn’t been for Luo Cheng back then, he felt that his current wife would be Yu Yan. Yu Yan is a beauty in the class, and most of the boys in the class like her. At that time, he was considered the number one person in school. A relative was from the Ministry of Culture, and he was tall and handsome. In his opinion, he and Yu Yan were a good match. He had had good contact with Yu Yan a few times, but Luo Cheng didn’t know what he said to her, so he kept a distance from him.
He comes from a poor family and thinks that he will be great if he goes to high school. He dares to ruin Xu Yongming’s good deeds. He may not be able to beat anyone in a fight, but in Ngee Ann, Luo Cheng wants to graduate and find a good job unless he is admitted to university. , he is still capable of stumbling upon Luo Cheng. But what he didn’t expect was that not long after Luo Cheng graduated, news came that he was going to join the army. Naturally, this matter was settled.
If Luo Cheng showed up again, he also entered the car repair shop. He knew that a retired soldier with a high school education, even if he could not repair cars, could study in a car factory, at least he would be a formal worker with a formal system.
The official mechanic’s salary is higher than that of the projectionist, but the projectionist’s job is very popular and makes a lot of money, which is something that the car mechanic cannot compare with.
Now Xu Yongming doesn’t know how to deal with Luo Cheng, but he won’t swallow the tone of his voice so easily, so he wants to see what Luo Cheng is currently doing in the auto repair shop to find out the truth first.
Xiao Liu from the security department first took Xu Yongming to the workshop, because the workshop was closest to the factory door. After people in the workshop told Luo Cheng to clean the toilet, they took Xu Yongming to the toilet.
“Luo Gong, someone is looking for you and says he is your classmate.”
Luo Cheng was wearing factory work clothes and holding a broom in his hand. This autumn rain comes and stops when it comes. It’s not raining now, so I’m standing in the pool outside the toilet thinking about the problem. Although there is no wind and it’s not cold inside, the toilet smells too bad. The entry of rainwater accelerates the fermentation of feces.
Luo Cheng looked at the person Xiao Liu from the security department had brought and recognized him at a glance. Compared with what he remembered, Xu Yongming looked a little more vulgar and older, but he was not like others who were always hungry in this era. Skinny and skinny. It shows that this kid is doing well in this era.
Xu Yongming naturally recognized Luo Cheng at a glance. After a few years, he looked less and less like a person from a rural area. A man is actually getting fairer and fairer as he grows older, but at this time, the man is actually cleaning toilets in a repair shop. It made him feel secretly happy. He had long heard that it was difficult for people to enter the auto repair shop. He thought Luo Cheng had three heads and six arms. It turned out that he came here to clean toilets.
Also, why do the people in the security department call him Luo Gong? Is this the name for apprentice workers? Xu Yongming guessed.
“Old classmate, do you still remember me? I am Xu Yongming.”
“Remember, but how did you know I was here.”
“Yesterday I went to Li Fang’s place to buy matches. She said she saw you and that you had entered the auto repair shop. As an old classmate, why don’t I come here to see you? Do you want to smoke? Come here.”
Xiao Liu from the Security Department saw that Luo Cheng and the other party did know each other and were classmates, so he did not interrupt their conversation. If Luo Cheng said he didn’t know him, he would take Xu Yongming out immediately.
Luo Cheng looked at the cigarette case in Xu Yongming’s hand and said, “Oh, big front door.” The factory director also has these cigarettes, but the factory director’s cigarettes were given to him by others and he only takes them with him when going out to socialize. I usually smoke cigarettes that cost eight cents a pack, so I have to control my smoking as much as possible. For those who are addicted to cigarettes, one or two packs a day will cost several dollars.
At the front door, you have to pay for a three-cent 51-pack, and you have to smoke this all the time, and you don’t have to pay more than ten yuan a month for cigarettes.
“No, I won’t. It would be a waste to smoke it for me.”
“Classmate, it’s not okay for this man not to smoke. You have just started working, so you have to learn how to socialize.”
Xu Yongming smiled inwardly because he didn’t know how to smoke. He was also a soldier and he couldn’t afford to smoke. It’s normal if he doesn’t, but doesn’t this indirectly prove that Luo Cheng has no future? A grown man can’t even smoke. In this era, it sounds good to be economical, but it sounds bad to say he can’t afford to smoke.
“Then~~Okay, let’s have one.”
“Come on, I’m not an old classmate, I’m stingy. If you know how to smoke, I’ll give you one. Do you know what these cigarettes are? There’s a triangular 51 pack at the front door. One cigarette is worth one or two points. Don’t use this to practice. Mouth. By the way, what are you doing in this repair shop? Are you cleaning toilets here? “
What kind of work he did, this time he really asked Luo Cheng. If there was no arrangement from above, he would have to find a project to apply for. If there is no suitable project, he will usually be responsible for some teaching work.
But in this era, cars, horses, and mail were slow. The pace of life and work is slow. It is normal to give half a month to apply, wait for approval, reply, and then start work. This year has passed.
“No specific work has been assigned yet, so we have to take our time.”
“It’s okay. This is how it was when I first started working. When I was assigned to the film team after graduation, I studied for several months before being assigned a solo screening. I am now a projectionist and will come to your factory for screenings in the future. Movie, let your factory leaders take care of you when the time comes.”
Xu Yongming looked at Luo Cheng’s expression as he spoke. He felt that Luo Cheng was pretending to be calm. I am showing off my cigarettes and career. Even if the other person works in a car repair shop, he must be a little jealous of me. The salary in the car repair shop is good, but it doesn’t matter if the salary is not low. You are cleaning toilets.
Regarding Xu Yongming’s words, Luo Cheng didn’t feel the need to show off. And he is really thinking seriously about whether he should learn to smoke. Most everyone in the factory knows how to smoke. He still has a pack of cigarettes in his system that he doesn’t want to take out. It is a three-no-product cigarette, but as soon as you take it out, you can tell by the length of the cigarette box that it is the kind of cigarette with a cigarette holder in later generations.
Don’t worry about your brand these days, as long as it comes with a cigarette holder, it’s definitely a high-end cigarette that ordinary people can’t get.
Luo Cheng wanted to show off in front of Xu Yongming, so he took out the cigarettes and a windproof lighter from the system, which was definitely enough. But now he felt that Xu Yongming was different from his own impression. He was too real. He gave him cigarettes and said that he would let the leader take care of him in the future.
Luo Cheng couldn’t stand him in the past. His family was rich and he would brag to people around him about how good he was at picking up girls every day, and he was indeed good at it. There were many chat records on his phone showing that he had several girlfriends at the same time. Among his male classmates, it was his bragging rights.
Luo Cheng had a lot of acne on his face at that time, and he was too stupid to pick up girls, but that didn’t stop him from fantasizing. There is a girl named Yu Yan in the class. She is not particularly good-looking, but her figure is mature and does not look like that of a high school student. Luo Cheng swore that the other party was definitely not the object of his crush, but just the object of fantasy.
At that time, Xu Yongming was bragging in private that he would capture Yu Yan, just for fun. Luo Cheng couldn’t stand it, because he thought about it too, but he knew that he could only think about it, Xu Yongming really had that ability. It’s not easy to have a fantasy object. If Xu Yongming really gets it, even if it is just a fantasy, it will be mysophobia.
Then Luo Cheng secretly went to Yu Yan and told Xu Yongming that he wanted to make her a new trophy. Not long after, Xu Yongming and Yu Yan had a quarrel one day, and the content ruined Luo Cheng’s outlook on things.
During the day, I deleted a lot of comments that asked for votes in previous chapters, or some explanations that were not too important. I have some free words, so I feel like I can update one more chapter first. Thanks to those who gave rewards during the day and voted for the monthly votes. This chapter is added to the chapter that is not owed. I just want to thank you. After all, it is May Day. I wish everyone a happy May Day. Come and take a look when you are tired. I am afraid that I will finish reading. .
