Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 4: Songting Hotel is hiring?

After breakfast, the people who went to work left and the room became half as spacious.

Lingling made an appointment with her classmates to go out, leaving only Chen Luyang and Junjun, two men, bored at home and looking for fun.

Although the result of failing the college entrance examination was heartbreaking, the white hair on the top of his head made Chen Luyang even more angry.

"Be gentle! Don't pull out my black hair again!"

Chen Luyang sat on a small stool, holding a mirror in his hand, admiring his handsome and regular face.

The bright sunlight spread on the mirror, making the young face in the mirror look more handsome and with clear features.

Actually, Chen Luyang doesn’t really care whether his face is good-looking or not.

After all, he doesn't make a living by his looks.

But the hair is different!

Before he traveled through time, the money he earned from hair transplantation could buy him a nice watch.

Now that he finally has a head of naturally thick, black hair, he has to take good care of it.

"Uncle, is a single white hair a big deal to you?!"

Junjun looked at Chen Luyang who was admiring herself in the mirror, frowned, and blew away the hair that he had pulled out with his fingertips.

This morning, Chen Luyang had some kind of seizure and insisted that he had a white hair on his head and asked him to help pull it out.

"Tsk..."

Chen Luyang gave a look that said, "You don't understand this."

"You are still young and don't know the importance of hair."

"When you become bald and the few hairs left are all curly white, you will know whether it is really that serious or not."

When Zhu Xinghuo and Song Liaosha walked into the Chen family courtyard, they saw Chen Luyang holding a small mirror and looking showy.

"What a day! You're so conceited so early in the morning!"

Zhu Xinghuo has a loud voice. He has been the sports commissioner of the class since he was a child. He is tall and strong.

Chen Luyang looked in the mirror and said, "I'm tired of looking at calendars. I'm going to take a look at myself and refresh my eyes."

Zhu Xinghuo almost spat in his face.

"I finally understand why you won first place in the school poetry recitation competition. You must have been shameless enough to ask the teacher for it!"

Chen Luyang glanced at his two friends:
"You two are here to persuade me to attend the Youth Poetry Festival, right? I'm telling you, forget it! Whoever wants to go to that crappy poetry festival can go, but I'm not going!"

After saying this, Zhu Xinghuo and Song Liaosha looked at each other and coughed uncomfortably.

They were indeed commissioned by Zhou Ying to do ideological work on Chen Luyang.

But seeing Chen Luyang's determination, the two knew that it was useless to persuade him, so they turned and said:

"Okay, stop taking pictures! I have something important to talk to you about today. You know Songting Hotel, right?"

of course I know.

Songting Hotel is located on the river bank of Dongfang Street and was once a Baroque-style foreign consulate.

It was converted into a hotel at the beginning of this year, specifically for receiving high-end guests visiting the provincial capital.

"Yesterday, Songting Hotel put up a notice saying they were hiring waiters. Let's go and try!"

"I heard the treatment at Songting Restaurant is better than at state-owned restaurants. If I could become a waiter, I wouldn't go to technical school."

Zhu Xinghuo was rubbing his hands in anticipation, wishing he could fly over right now with wings.

Chen Luyang rolled his eyes. "Being a waiter... Let's not talk about serving tea and water. Let's see who has washed their own clothes first."

"When we get back to the restaurant, are we going to serve the guests, or are they going to serve us?"

This group of people are all loved by their mothers and spoiled by their sisters at home, and they are usually brought up by being taken care of.

Even Song Liaosha has a younger sister to help her wash clothes, so it's good enough that she can do some work.

"I'm different from you. I wash my own socks."

Junjun puffed out his neck and drew a clear line between himself and these people.

"Go play somewhere else, the adults are chatting, don't make trouble as a kid."

"Here, go buy some soda."

Chen Luyang took out two cents from his trouser pocket and handed it to Junjun. Junjun's face immediately lit up with joy, and he jumped up and down to find Fatty next door to buy soda.

After driving away the restless little brat, Zhu Xinghuo continued:
"Don't worry about that nonsense, just tell me whether you want to go or not. I heard that you can eat all the candy and sausages at Songting Restaurant! Even if you don't get the job as a waiter, you can still go and join in the fun!"

"Yeah, Brother Chen, you're staying at home anyway, why not go and see what's going on?"

Chen Luyang was somewhat persuaded.

How can a young man of eighteen or nineteen stay at home!

"Then wait for me!"

Chen Luyang turned around and slipped into the house.

When he came out again, Zhu Xinghuo and Song Liaosha were stunned.

"Brother Chen, we're going to be waiters, not movie stars. Aren't you dressing too much?"

At this time, Chen Luyang was wearing a neat shirt, straight pants, and a pair of shiny black leather shoes.

He was good-looking.

He stood there with his back straight and his hands in his pockets, looking as handsome as a movie star.

Chen Luyang glanced at the two of them and said, "Clothes make the man, and you're dressed like a country bumpkin in a high-end hotel like Songting Hotel. Who would care about you if you went there?"

Zhu Xinghuo slapped his forehead and said, "Yeah! I'm going home to change clothes too!"

Song Liaosha was also anxious: "Wait for me! I'm going home to change clothes, and we'll meet at the factory gate later!"

Half an hour later, Chen Luyang arrived at the factory gate.

The gate of the machinery factory is very grand. On the white wall is painted the slogan "Emancipate the mind, start the machine, seek truth from facts, unite and look forward". People are walking in groups of three or two on the wide and straight road.

Not far from the machinery factory, you can see a small yellow spire.

That place is the main building of the provincial university.

I heard that the school’s blueprints were designed by Soviet experts.

Want to go.

Chen Luyang looked at the provincial university campus with envy.

But there is a reality that he cannot do anything about, that is, he can only retake the exam next year.

Now he is completely idle.

Instead of repeating a year at home, it is better to go out and find something to do and review while doing it.

Chen Luyang sighed regretfully again.

If only I had worn it half a year earlier!

At this moment, Chen Luyang suddenly saw a familiar figure riding a bicycle from the Machinery Factory Avenue.

Bai Xiaofan is dressed very beautifully today.

She had a red hairband tied on her black braids and was wearing a white skirt.

Bai Xiaofan saw from afar a tall and handsome figure waiting in front of the gate of the machinery factory.

When he saw that it was Chen Luyang, Bai Xiaofan's little face instantly revealed a strong emotion, and his eyes flashed with dissatisfaction.

Then, she deliberately parked her bicycle about 100 meters away from the factory gate, turned her head to the side, and angrily avoided looking at him.

really……

Chen Luyang didn't come to apologize to her yesterday, so he must have been waiting here on purpose to apologize to her today.

She would never forgive him!

But what she didn't expect was that Chen Luyang just glanced at her, then called Song Liaosha and Zhu Xinghuo, and the three of them rode out of the factory together.

...He didn't even come to see her!? ?

Just when Bai Xiaofan was stunned, Niu Jiangang came over on a bike.

"Xiao Fan, I'm sorry, I'm late. Let's go."

"Oh." Bai Xiaofan complained absentmindedly.

But when I looked at Chen Luyang again, he had disappeared.
