When Gu Ye returned to the residential building, many people stopped him, bombarding him with questions.  

“Chief Gu, is there some big change happening at the factory? You can’t keep us in the dark!”  

Gu Ye smiled mysteriously and said, “As long as you work diligently, it won’t affect you.”  

After saying that, he smiled again and went back to his own home.  

Just that one sentence stirred up waves in everyone’s hearts like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake. 

They had only asked casually, but Gu Ye’s response made their imagination run wild. 

Could there really be major changes coming in the factory? 

Otherwise, why would Gu Ye say that?

Those who were already diligent workers didn’t think much of it, but the lazy old timers couldn’t stay calm. 

They usually slacked off at work and bribed the workshop supervisor at holidays to avoid trouble. 

If the factory was really about to go through reforms, wouldn’t they be the first ones to be dealt with?

Damn it!

Tomorrow, they had better start working properly, at least pretend to be busy for a while.

The next day, as soon as Gu Ye arrived at work, he took the draft of the contract to the factory director’s office. 

He expected himself to vigorously persuade him before being able to convince him, but this time, the director was surprisingly quick to act. 

He pulled out the official seal and stamped it, then spoke earnestly.

“Xiao Gu, you have to work hard. I also hope Xingda can rise again. I wish you success.”

The director patted Gu Ye’s shoulder heavily and sighed. He didn’t want to be a burden to the country either, but sadly, he lacked the strength to change things.

“Don’t worry. I will give it my best!”

Gu Ye promised sincerely. 

From these two old-timers, the factory director and the secretary, he sensed the helplessness of many veteran workers. 

They truly wished for the machine tool factory to thrive, but were powerless to make changes, so they could only go with the flow. 

After signing the contract, Gu Ye began calling his comrades. 

As the saying goes, quality was more important than quantity. So he only planned to find four people, and he had already made the list. 

The first person he called was a life-and-death comrade, the one who enlisted with him.

“Old Xu, it’s Gu Ye. How’s life back home? Don’t lie to me, I know you. Alright, stop talking nonsense. I’ve got a job and I need help. Are you coming or not?”

Gu Ye didn’t bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point.

“Alright, I’ll buy a ticket!”

The other party was also quick to respond. 

He didn’t even ask what the job was, he was a bachelor with nothing to tie him down anyway.

Gu Ye laughed, “Buy a sleeper ticket. Travel expenses will be reimbursed. Buy whatever food you want on the way, all expenses will be reimbursed!”

“Old Gu, did you strike it rich?” the man joked.

“Yeah, I struck it rich and I’m letting you get the benefit. This chance won’t come again.” Gu Ye chuckled.

“Then I will definitely take advantage of it, just wait for me!” 

The man hung up the phone. 

His name was Xu Sanqiang, from Shandong Province. Same age as Gu Ye, also a bachelor. He had retired two years earlier than Gu Ye and was farming back home. 

Gu Ye had visited him once and saw that the living conditions weren’t easy for him. 

Xu Sanqiang was the second son in the family, the middle child who was neither the eldest nor the youngest. 

His parents were extremely biased and favored the oldest and youngest while exploiting him. 

Luckily, Xu Sanqiang wasn’t blindly filial. He kept his retirement bonus for himself and didn’t hand it over, which made his life at home hard.

Gu Ye thought of him first because Xu Sanqiang was a good talker, thick-skinned, clever, and hard-working. He was the perfect salesman for selling machine tools.

When Gu Ye called him, Xu Sanqiang was working in the fields. 

After hanging up, he didn’t even bother to take his hoe with him. He quickly packed a few changes of clothes, took a shower, grabbed his household registration and savings book, stuffed everything into a worn-out travel bag, and left.
