Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Chapter 223 Appearance

"Mingxin, the car parked in the corner is the special car that goes to the city once a week. It is used by the power station's employees to make it easier for them to go to the city to buy things. In the future, when you work at the company and want to go to the city to buy things, it will be most convenient to take this car."

Lin Gang brought Mingxin to the station, walked through the many buses, and saw the old coach parked in the corner at a glance.

The two got into the car. There were already more than a dozen people in the car. When everyone saw Lin Gang, they smiled and nodded.

Mingxin was very excited. He thought it was a very cool thing for a unit to have a special car for pick-up and drop-off, which showed that the unit was very efficient.

"Gangzi, the company also has a special car for pick-up and drop-off. Is it such a good company, have you really thought it through and are you willing to transfer it to me?"

Lin Gang stuffed his bag into the luggage rack, found a seat by the window and sat down. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "You think I'm too idle and I'm teasing you, right?"

"That's not possible!" Mingxin smiled and sat next to Lin Gang.

Sitting in his seat, Mingxin stretched his neck and looked at everyone who got on the bus in front of him, then turned around and looked back again. It was hard not to attract attention.

Lin Gang pushed him down and said, "Behave yourself!"

"Lin Gang! You're back!"

Lin Gangzheng and Mingxin were quietly introducing the situation of the unit when suddenly a surprised voice came from the front.

"Gangzi, your colleague." Mingxin gently pushed Lin Gang.

Lin Gang looked at him helplessly. He was not deaf, how could he not hear it when it was so loud? Did he need you to remind him?

"What a coincidence, Xuewu, you went into the city today?"

"Yes, I came to the city to buy some daily necessities and send a letter home." Zhou Xuewu sat in the seat in front of Lin Gang.

"He is your brother?" Zhou Xuewu pointed at Ming Xin.

"My playmate since childhood."

After hearing Lin Gang introduce himself, Ming Xin extended his hand and greeted him in a familiar manner, "Hello, my name is Ming Xin, and I'm Gangzi's brother."

Zhou Xuewu smiled and nodded: "Hello, Zhou Xuewu, Lin Gang's colleague."

After getting to know Mingxin for a while, Zhou Xuewu turned his gaze back and asked, "You've been taking leave since the New Year. What have you been busy with?"

Lin Gang: "I have some personal matters to attend to at home. What's the matter? Did something happen at work?"

Zhou Xuewu glanced around and complained in a low voice: "You don't know how blatantly Fang Hong and Huazi have been interacting during the time you took leave and didn't come to work. If you treat me as a brother, just tell me the truth. What exactly are you and her planning?"

When Lin Gang heard this, he still felt angry, but fortunately he was able to control it.

He smiled bitterly and shrugged: "What else can I do? We broke up a long time ago!"

"Break up?" Zhou Xuewu looked at him in shock. "Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"

"We broke up before the holiday before the New Year." Lin Gang answered truthfully. His family background was not strong enough, and Fang Hong was trying to climb up the social ladder and didn't like him. What could he do?

It’s a bit far-fetched to say that I still like her.

If I say that I don't like her, I still feel a little uncomfortable. This is probably because I am unwilling to accept it.

Any man would feel unhappy if he is dumped by a woman.

Zhou Xuewu nodded, "It's better to break up. It's better not to touch that kind of vain woman. Now that you are back to work, if you see them together, you must be patient and don't lose your temper."

This can be considered as the hatred of having your wife taken away from you.

He was worried that when the two met, Lin Gang would not be able to help but beat Huazi up.

When Mingxin heard this, it was no wonder that Lin Gang suddenly ran back and said he wanted to rekindle his relationship with Li Wan.

"You don't have to worry about Gangzi losing his temper now. That kind of scumbag is not worthy of Gangzi's attack."

Zhou Xuewu looked at Mingxin. It was obvious that there was something else behind his words. What good thing happened during the time when Gangzi was not coming to work?

This obvious question made Mingxin instantly want to tell someone about it.

He smiled and said proudly: "Don't mention that kind of woman in front of him in the future. Now our Gangzi is also a married man. How can a married man mess around with other women outside?"

"Ouch!"

Zhou Xuewu stared at Lin Gang in shock. This news was too explosive. "Is what he said true?"

Lin Gang lowered his voice, "It's true, my wife is beautiful, she's beautiful in every way, and we grew up together. I didn't realize how beautiful she is before, but when I went home for the New Year this time, I realized that compared to that woman, my childhood sweetheart is more suitable for me."

Zhou Xuewu didn’t know whether Li Wan was beautiful or not, but just from hearing Lin Gang’s praise, he knew that they had been childhood sweethearts, which made him extremely envious.

The relationship between childhood sweethearts is so pure that it is unattainable for many people.

He also wants to have a childhood sweetheart and a lovely wife!

"Then let me congratulate you on your happy marriage. I wish you a son soon and a long life together."

"Thank you!"

Lin Gang pointed at Ming Xin again, "This is my brother, please take good care of him in the future. I didn't come back to work this time, but to transfer the work to him. I am currently developing in the provincial capital. If you have the opportunity to come to the provincial capital in the future, remember to come and find me."

"you!"

Zhou Xuewu opened his eyes wide. Lin Gang’s return this time shocked him so much that he was envious to death.

I can just give up a good job and develop in the provincial capital. How envious I am.

Compared to their leisurely and boring work in the mountains, the prosperity of the provincial capital is more desirable.

"When you become rich, don't forget your brothers."

Lin Gang smiled and nodded, feeling quite proud when he thought that his daily income in the provincial capital was equivalent to what they could save in half a year.

"I'll leave you my address, don't tell anyone else. If you have the chance to come to the provincial capital in the future, come and visit me."

Zhou Xuewu nodded and got Lin Gang's address. He was thinking how powerful Lin Gang's family background was.

Not only did they get him a job at the hydroelectric power station, but within two years they also sent him to the provincial capital.

Perhaps the power station is his springboard to move up, and working here is just a transition.

Fang Hong, who worked in the same unit, thought that Lin Gang's family had no background, so she chose the son of the unit's production workshop director.

Is this the real-life version of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons?

Lin Gang didn't know that Zhou Xuewu's mind was already in a state of confusion.

When the bus stopped at the station, we saw the five-story buildings in the power station’s residential area.

"These are all staff dormitories. There are single rooms, two-bedrooms, and three-bedrooms. I live in a single room. If you get married in the future, you can apply to the company for a two-bedroom dormitory."

After listening to Lin Gang’s introduction, Mingxin looked at the brand new buildings and he became excited again!

The two of them greeted Zhou Xuewu and went to the dormitory first to put down their luggage. Lin Ganggang took Mingxin to the office building.

In this era, jobs can be passed down from father to son, which means jobs can be transferred.

After listening to Lin Gang's request, the unit leader took a look at Mingxin and realized that he was not a naughty street kid, so he allowed him to take people to handle the formalities without making things difficult for him.

Zhou Xuewu put the daily necessities he had bought back into the dormitory and went to the workshop to report for leave.

Fang Hong and the team leader were standing together talking about something. When they saw Zhou Xuewu coming back, she asked him without waiting for him to speak: "Zhou Xuewu, you need to go to the city to buy some daily necessities. My store has all these things. You didn't ask for leave to go to the city just to avoid work, did you?"

In just one sentence, Zhou Xuewu was classified as a cunning and treacherous person.

Not to mention Zhou Xuewu himself, even the team leader glared at him with disapproval. How could he say such nonsense?

"You have to go to the city to learn martial arts, so of course you have a reason to go to the city. Your store doesn't have everything, such as mailing letters. In addition to buying daily necessities, I also need to send a letter home when I go to the city to learn martial arts."

Fang Hong didn't expect the team leader to speak for Zhou Xuewu, and looked at him in surprise.

Zhou Xuewu wanted to refute, but when he saw the team leader explained it for him, he kept silent and looked at Fang Hong jumping around with a little pity.

After all, she is just a poor girl who was given the wrong love, so I don't want to bother with her.

Fang Hong noticed Zhou Xuewu's pitying look and felt confused. She didn't know what was wrong with him.

After Fang Hong left, the team leader asked, "Did you encounter any good things during your trip to the city? I can see that you can't hide the joy on your face since you came back."

Zhou Xuewu nodded: "I met Lin Gang on the way back."

"Is he coming back to work?"

The team leader knew that the boy had not shown up since the New Year, and he was afraid that he had been seriously injured by Fang Hong.

Zhou Xuewu shook his head and said mysteriously, "No."

"No? What do you mean?"

The team leader's curiosity was aroused.

Zhou Xuewu smiled mysteriously and refused to reveal the answer. He ran away when the team leader was not paying attention.

Besides, when Lin Gang and Ming Xin finished their formalities and came out of the office, it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon.

Lin Gang first took Mingxin back to the dormitory, tidied the dormitory, packed all the things he wanted to take away into the bag, and left the remaining bedding bucket and washbasin to Mingxin.

"I will stay here for one night at most. I will leave by car tomorrow when you go to work. You can write to me if you miss me. Don't forget the address."

Mingxin was just getting curious about everything around him. Without Lin Gang's instruction, he rolled up his sleeves and wiped the table and bed frame, and mopped the floor.

"Let's go, it's time to eat. If we don't go now, all the meat and vegetables in the cafeteria will be gone by the time we're late."

Lin Gang straightened his clothes, smoothed his hair and said.

Mingxin washed his hands, and the two of them picked up their lunch boxes and left the dormitory. Looking at Lin Gang, who was walking in front of them in a well-fitting suit, he raised his eyebrows in understanding.

It seems that Lin Gang still can't get over the fact that Fang Hong dumped him.

A man depends on his clothes, and a horse depends on his saddle.

Lin Gang was originally handsome, and now he is wearing a suit and tie, walking with a breeze, looking really handsome and rich.

Along the way, they attracted countless employees to look at them.

"Lin Gang, Ming Xin, wait for me."

Zhou Xuewu excitedly ran towards them with his lunch box.

Lin Gang stopped and glanced at him, "Are you so excited when it's time to eat?"

Zhou Xuewu smiled and didn't refute. Could he say that he just wanted to watch the show?

Lin Gang came back suddenly today, and he really wanted to see the scene when Fang Hong and Hua Zi met him in the cafeteria.

Just thinking about it makes me feel that this is the biggest news of the year and I can’t miss it.

"Hey, Lin Gang is back."

"Yes, Sister Fang, long time no see."

"Gangzi, your leave is a bit long this time. What are you busy with at home?"

"Brother Yi, how have you been recently? I was delayed by something at home."

Before entering the cafeteria, I met many colleagues from the unit at the door. If we got along well, we would say hello to each other.

Entering the cafeteria, Mingxin looked at the people queuing in the cafeteria and sighed: "Gangzi, there are so many people in your unit's cafeteria. How many people are there in the entire unit?"

"There are three or four hundred people in the entire unit. It's your unit now, and I have transferred the work to you." Lin Gang reminded him.

Mingxin nodded excitedly. Yes, it was his workplace now.

"Gangzi, look over there, Fang Hong and his girl are sitting over there eating." Zhou Xuewu gestured to Lin Gang to look to his left front.

Lin Gang saw Fang Hong and the lazy Hua Zi sitting together for dinner. There was no emotion on his face. He just raised his eyebrows and paid no more attention to them.

Zhou Xuewu was a little surprised. "It seems that Gangzi is really in love with his wife. Don't bother with that kind of woman anymore."

Lin Gang just smiled and concentrated on queuing up for food with Mingxin.

Even though Lin Gang didn't bother her, Fang Hong wouldn't just stay quiet and pretend not to know her.

Hua Zi put down his chopsticks irritably, glanced at the people queuing in the distance, and said in a bad tone: "If you want to look, just look openly. What do you mean by looking over there from time to time? Are you unable to forget your old lover?"

Fang Hong looked away guiltily. She didn't expect Hua Zi to have noticed Lin Gang too. "Can you stop being so sensitive? I usually look around when I eat. There's one more person in the cafeteria today. Why do you have to link him and me together?"

The suit and leather shoes that Lin Gang wore today were bought for him by Lin Shu from the system mall. The suit was three-dimensionally cut and fit him very well. Coupled with the shiny leather shoes, his temperament when he walked out was so elegant that people would believe he was a Chinese returning from overseas.

When Huazi saw Lin Gang, who was dressed so brightly and handsomely, he felt inferior, as he had always been inferior to Lin Gang in appearance.

He also knew that Fang Hong chose him in the end because of his family background and because she despised the poor and loved the rich.

Lin Gang was a young man from the countryside. In Fang Hong's eyes, he came from a poor family, which could not be compared with his family background, whose parents were both small leaders.

Seeing Fang Hong was trying to turn the tables, Hua Zi gritted his teeth and said, "If I hadn't reminded you, your eyes would have been glued to him and you couldn't peel them away."

Fang Hong absolutely could not admit to such a thing, "I didn't do that, don't say anything."

"I was talking nonsense. It seems that you are also a bitch who judges people by their appearance. Are you staring at him because he is wearing a suit that he got from somewhere today?" Huazi said with a dark face.

Fang Hong didn't want to quarrel with Hua Zi in front of Lin Gang, as it would seem that the person she finally chose was too despicable.

"Don't make trouble, just eat. At most I won't talk to him, and we'll go back after dinner."

Huazi secretly cursed in his heart: She is as charming as a flower and falls in love with every girl she meets!

Huazi threatened with contempt: "You'd better keep your word. If I find out that you are indecisive, I will tear your face off and make sure you can't get a job at the power station."

He left in disgrace after the meal. How could Huazi, who had such a strong sense of self-esteem, be so cowardly?

After Fang Hong finished the food in the bowl, Huazi put down the bowl and chopsticks with half a bowl of food left, stood up, took Fang Hong in his arm and walked towards where Lin Gang and the others were sitting.

A few lackeys at the table next to them hurried to catch up.

"Gangzi, you come with bad intentions!"

Zhou Xuewu noticed Huazi and the others and reminded Lin Gang.
