Wang Li and her husband Li Cheng lived not far from the unit where Li Cheng worked. In order to save money to buy a house, Wang Li asked Li Cheng to go home for three meals a day, and Li Cheng, who understood his daughter-in-law, also enjoyed it. At the beginning of the year, this endless life took a completely different change. Whether it was breakfast, lunch or dinner, Li Cheng almost never ate at home. When he went out in the morning, he was also in a hurry, lest he be a little late. These changes had long been seen by Wang Li, who was very suspicious, and a lot of doubts suddenly arose in her heart: "Everyone says that the outside world is very exciting, could it be that my husband Li Cheng is also..." Wang Li didn't dare to think about it.
This morning, Li Cheng got up and hurried to leave as usual. Seeing this, Wang Li's face sank. She grabbed Li Cheng and angrily asked, "Why are you not eating at home?"
Li Cheng casually said, "Didn't I tell you earlier? Our unit has implemented new rules. From this month onwards, everyone who eats in the restaurant will be given a half-fee subsidy. Eat more and make up more, eat less and make up less, and eat less and make up less. If you don't take advantage of it, you are a fool. You said that!" After saying that, he raised his leg and wanted to leave.
Li Cheng and Wang Li did not work in the same unit. Over the years, because of the boss, Wang Li had suffered countless hardships, and the unit had changed one after another. Now that Li Cheng said how good the boss was and how to care for the employees, how could she believe it?
Seeing that Li Cheng was going to leave without telling the truth, Wang Li immediately blocked him: "The Huanglian in the world is as bitter, and the boss in the world is as black! Half-fee subsidized dining, can have such a kind-hearted boss? Go fool! If you don't make things clear, don't think about leaving this house today!"
"Che! My heart is as small as a needle's nose, if I have the ability, I will go to the subsidized restaurant to eat!" Li Cheng had the courage to deliberately anger Wang Li. After saying that, he pushed Wang Li away and went out the door without looking back. When Wang Li heard that, she was furious.
A few days later, at noon, Li Cheng and a few buddies were eating in the restaurant when they saw Wang Li carrying a meal and walking towards them with a smile. Li Cheng thought he was confused, and when he rubbed his eyes and looked again, Wang Li had already come to him. Li Cheng stared at Wang Li: "Why are you here? Still eating here?"
Wang Li sat down next to Li Cheng and ate slowly while saying, "Didn't you say that if you have the ability, you can go to the subsidized restaurant to eat? No, I'm here! What, I'm not small, right?" Afraid that Li Cheng would not believe it, she put a brand new work permit in front of Li Cheng.
Seeing this scene, the buddies who ate together were happy: "It's still Brother Li who is smart. He can't just eat subsidized restaurants by himself, and he has to invite his sister-in-law. He really knows how to live!"
Li Cheng's face turned red. In fact, how did he know that after he went out that morning, Wang Li was suspicious and quietly followed him until she saw him go straight into the restaurant with her own eyes.
It turns out that most of the employees in Li Cheng's unit live nearby. In order to save money, many employees go home for three meals a day, resulting in repeated bans on arriving late and leaving early. In order to change this situation, the new boss came up with a half-fee subsidy for meals. Who knows, this trick really works. When employees see eating in the unit restaurant, it is not only convenient, but also very cheap. Who would want to go home to eat? The unit restaurant immediately became popular, and the phenomenon of employees arriving late and leaving early disappeared naturally.
After finding out the truth, Wang Li knew that she had wrongly blamed Li Cheng and the boss of Li Cheng's unit. But she thought about it: How great it would be if she could come here to work! First, the boss here has a good heart and is comfortable to work; second, work with Li Cheng, eat together, and go home together. Don't worry! More importantly, it's a half-fee subsidized meal. If two people eat together, doesn't it save more money, save money faster, and buy a house faster? So Wang Li quit her original job without hesitation, and after some setbacks, she became a member of the same unit as Li Cheng.
Li Cheng looked at the friends who were making him happy, then at the popular restaurant, and thought to himself: There are so many people who like to eat subsidized meals, who is laughing at who? Besides, as long as you can save money to buy a house as soon as possible, it is not better than anything else? Thinking of this, Li Cheng gave Wang Li a wink, Wang Li smiled knowingly, and then ate it.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and Li Cheng and Wang Li have privately calculated the accounts. These days, the two of them have saved more than 3,000 yuan on meal expenses alone! Just as they were enjoying themselves, the attentive Wang Li noticed a strange phenomenon: the restaurant was no longer as popular as before! "What's going on if you don't eat half-price meals?" Wang Li became suspicious again. After a few days of careful observation, Wang Li couldn't help but suddenly realized that the current half-fee subsidized restaurant has become a poor restaurant, and the people who come here to eat are all ordinary employees who can't be more ordinary. Not to mention those senior leaders, even middle-level department heads, went out to eat free meals!
Wang Li really envied those people who went out to eat free meals, and thought: If only we could be like others! Take a step back and think, even one of us would be fine! Not to mention respectability, you can save more money and buy a house quickly!
Wang Li told Li Cheng what she thought, but unexpectedly, Li Cheng was dismissive and said, "It would be nice if you could eat in a poor restaurant, but how rich do you want to be? Besides, that free meal is not free, and you have to have official positions. Just the two of us, asking for a one-official and half-time position, is it something that can be done by talking about it? Then you have to give meaning to the person in charge! Now, we are worried that we have no money to buy a house, where is the spare money to give gifts?" "I can't bear the child and can't keep the wolf, what's the matter with spending money to give gifts?" Wang Li ignored Li Cheng's objection and quietly entrusted someone to give the 3,000 yuan saved to the person in charge of the unit.
Wang Li waited anxiously. Soon after, during a personnel adjustment in the unit, Li Cheng was appointed as the head of the security section. Don't look at the small officer of the security section chief, there are only about 10 people under his command. According to the regulations of the unit, he is the head of the middle-level department without compromise. Wang Li and Li Cheng were very happy in their hearts. Before taking office, the buddies who worked together had to congratulate him with money, but Li Cheng couldn't resist it and had to go to a hotel with them. Li Cheng was very drunk, and in a while, he became the loser of his buddies. When he came, he had to escort him home. Looking at Li Cheng, who was very drunk, Wang Li was not only not angry, but also very happy: before taking office, someone invited someone to a big meal. It seems that our move was correct, and our new house has been moved forward.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. During this time, as Wang Li had expected, Li Cheng never ate at the poor restaurant again. Wang Li twisted his fingers and was overjoyed, looking forward to the day when the salary would be paid.
At night, as soon as Li Cheng returned home, Wang Li couldn't wait to stretch out a pair of jade hands. How dare Li Cheng neglect, trembling, and immediately handed over all the money in his pocket to Wang Li. After counting the money, the smiling Wang Li couldn't help but lose color: "Why is it so? Not only not much, but 600 less than last month?" "I, I... still, still..." Li Cheng was anxious and couldn't say anything. """Men have the power to have money and become bad. You have only been a section chief for a few days? After a few days of free meals? Now it has gone bad? I ask you, where did the money ? Is there another woman outside?""" Wang Li's suspicion came up again. The more she talked, the angrier she became. The angrier she became, the more she talked. After a while, she didn't follow in one breath, and she fainted.
The next day, Wang Li didn't care about going to work and quietly hid not far from the door of the unit. She wanted to follow Li Cheng again to see what he spent his money on? Is there really a woman outside?
Finally, when it was time for lunch, people came out one after another at the door of the unit. Soon, Li Cheng and a young and beautiful woman also went out. Wang Li took a closer look, and her heart almost jumped to her throat. It turned out that this woman was the current head of the Cultural Propaganda Department, Qiao Na. Wang Li had long heard that this person was the former boss's assistant, and he had an inexplicable relationship with the boss. After the new boss took office, he didn't want to repeat the same mistake, so he arranged Qiao Na in the current position. Did the disgraced Qiao Na stick with her husband Li Cheng again? Wang Li didn't have time to think about it, and followed them with all her attention.
Turning left and right, Li Cheng and Qiao Na entered a restaurant. Alone, what good can be done in such a remote place? Wang Li's suspicion grew even heavier. She thought: If you break in in a while, you will definitely be able to catch them. Wang Li turned around and wanted to find a secluded place to hide temporarily, but it was too late. Not far away, four or five people, including the head of the sanitation section and the head of the political engineering section, who were walking towards the restaurant, had clearly seen her. They couldn't help but pull Wang Li into the restaurant.
Li Cheng and Qiao Na were the only two people in a room in the restaurant. Seeing Wang Li come in, Li Cheng was startled at first, and then he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. Wang Li stared at Li Cheng and Qiao Na like enemies, but in front of so many people, he didn't get any real evidence, so it was not easy to attack, so he could only think angrily: If I can't catch you today, I can have a free meal, anyway, it will take a long time to come!
At this time, the waiter came in and asked them how to eat. The head of the sanitation section said without hesitation: "It's still the same old rule, one bowl of big wontons per person, plus 4 side dishes!" The waitress counted the number of people and went out. Not long after, the wontons and dishes were served, and the section chiefs did not give in, so they buried their heads in eating. Wang Li looked at them in surprise, and the question in her heart could not help but arise: "This is what you eat for a free meal?" But how come you are an outsider who eats, so it is difficult to ask more questions, so you can only learn from their appearance and eat slowly. After eating, when the waiter came in again, they could not help but say that the section chiefs handed over more than $ 10 yuan to the waitress in turn. When they came to Li Cheng, the waitress said, "What about you, Brother Li?" Li Cheng lowered his head and said in a sullen voice, "It's still the old rule, keep the account first, pay the salary and then pay it back!"
Wang Li could no longer hold her breath and asked, "Why didn't you eat a free meal?" The room was quiet. Seeing that no one was fighting, Wang Li asked again in a loud voice, "Why is this?
Nana poked the head of the sanitation section, who feebly said with a sullen face, "Sister-in-law is a sensible person, why don't you even see this? It's true that we are the heads of the middle-level department of the unit, but we are all idle departments with no power and no money. If we want to eat a free meal, someone has to invite us?"
"If we can't get a free meal, let's go to a poor restaurant?""
"Sister-in-law said lightly, although we are casual staff, it's a good thing that we are also the heads of the middle-level departments of the unit! If we go to a place like a poor restaurant to eat, the employees of the unit can't laugh out loud? No one invited the free meal, and the poor restaurant can't go, so we can only go to this small place to fight for food!"
After Wang Li heard that, she almost fainted again!
