Chapter 483: The Work of Digging Coal Down the Mine

Fearing that Lu Hai would hang up, Zhao Kai quickly expressed his opinion.

Although he was unwilling to go down the mine, Lu Hai's words about gaining experience at the grassroots level attracted him.

Lu Hai meant that although they would go down into the mine to dig coal in the early stages, they would not dig coal continuously.

Going down into the mine is a training exercise, a necessary work process for promotion, and something every employee has to go through.

It's not like we'll be digging coal underground forever.

Bai Weiwei also winked and encouraged Zhao Kai, urging him to say more and express his attitude.

If you don't seize such a great opportunity, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

"Boss Lu, please believe me. I can endure hardship and will completely obey any arrangements. Whatever position you assign me, I will do it."

After Zhao Kai finished speaking, Bai Weiwei stood there nervously, her ear close to the phone, waiting for Lu Hai's reply.

Lu Hai paused for a few seconds, then said in an official tone, "In that case, let's wait for news. When I return to Jincheng after the New Year, just come with me."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Kai nodded and bowed respectfully. "Thank you, Boss Lu, for giving me this opportunity. I'll call you again after the New Year."

Wishing you a Happy New Year in advance.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Kai still had some concerns.

As Bai Weiwei guessed, he really did have to go down the mine to dig coal.

Although people said that every employee had to go down the mine, he was still a little scared.

That's a place where you have to risk your life to make money.

What if... he goes and never comes back!

Bai Weiwei seemed to have seen through Zhao Kai's thoughts, and she tentatively asked, "Brother Kai, are you scared?"

Zhao Kai wiped away a cold sweat and gave an awkward laugh, "How could that be?"

No matter how nervous he was, he couldn't back down in front of Bai Weiwei.

After paying the phone bill, Bai Weiwei took Zhao Kai's arm and they went back to their rented room. "Since they've given you this opportunity, you must seize it. Although it will definitely be tough going down the mine to dig coal at first, I hope you can overcome it. No matter what job you do, perseverance will lead to success."

Upon hearing Bai Weiwei's words, Zhao Kai thought to himself, "You talk a good game, but how come you don't have any perseverance?"

They were doing well at the Bincheng factory before, but Bai Weiwei insisted on resigning.

Of course, it was completely understandable that he went to see a doctor back then. Later, when Doctor Ye left Nancheng, he wanted to go back to Bincheng to continue working at the factory, but Bai Weiwei refused to leave no matter what.

Looking for a job in the south of the city is the same; I'm too ambitious, not good enough for anything, and I still don't have a proper job.

The roasted sweet potatoes lasted for less than a month.

Zhao Kai comforted himself, "Okay, I'll try my best to persevere. It's not like I'll be digging coal all the time. Didn't Boss Lu say it's just a process to get some experience? As long as I perform well, I should be able to get up and work on the mine soon."

Zhao Kai said this, but he was still scared inside.

It's not that he couldn't endure the hardships of coal mining.

The key point is that he values ​​his life.

A few years ago, some middle-aged men from their hometown went to work in a coal mine. A gas explosion occurred, and two of them were buried underground forever.

This caused quite a stir in their area.

You need to be alive to earn money.

Bai Weiwei, however, had no such worries. She believed that this was a chance for Zhao Kai to turn his life around. "Of course, Kai-ge, you have to have confidence in yourself. I believe in your abilities. When you go to Boss Lu's place, be sweet-talking and make your presence known to him. When you're mining coal, you also need to be observant. As long as the boss sees your efforts, you'll have a chance to stay by his side in the future. Maybe you'll become one of his favorites. If a suitable opportunity arises, we can go out on our own. You'll definitely be a big boss in the future."

Bai Weiwei regained her initial admiration for Zhao Kai, which pleased Zhao Kai greatly.

Ever since he got together with Bai Weiwei last year, Bai Weiwei has repeated the same sentence every day, saying that he will become a big boss in the future.

To be honest, at first he just thought Bai Weiwei was joking to encourage him, after all, he knew his own limitations.

They simply don't have the ability or the opportunity. They all come from the village; where would they get the capital?

Especially after coming to the city, he felt the gap between them and the city dwellers even more.

Now that such a job opportunity is in front of her, Bai Weiwei has regained her confidence in him.

This made him feel hopeful and eager for the future, thinking that maybe he was destined to be a boss.

Zhao Kai's confidence soared, and his mood improved. "Weiwei, thank you for your encouragement. With you by my side cheering me on, I will definitely work hard. When I have money in the future, I will definitely give you a good life."

“Brother Kai, I believe in you. You will definitely make us live a good life. When we make money in the future, we will build a big villa in our hometown so that your mother and sister can live there and hold their heads high in the village.”

"good."

The two returned to their rented room in high spirits. Zhao Kai planned to go to the train station the next day to check for tickets, and if he could buy them, he would go back to his hometown as soon as possible.

Xie Zheng, who had been staying at home creating art, heard that Bai Zhi was going to the army to find Lu Ye, so he came to find Bai Zhi and invited her to dinner to see her off.

Accompanying Xie Zheng were Shen Qian and Gu Xiaoyue.

Upon seeing the trio, Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly.

Whether Xie Zheng genuinely didn't understand or was pretending to be confused, he insisted on pairing the two girls together, and the three of them always went together.

This means that things have been discussed openly, and no one has any improper thoughts anymore?

When Xie Zheng saw Bai Zhi, he explained his purpose: "Xiao Bai, I heard from Shen Qian that you are going to the army tomorrow. Why didn't you say so earlier? Luckily, you made it in time. I dropped what I was doing and came here. Come on, I'll treat you to lunch."

"No need to be so polite." Bai Zhi saw Xie Zheng, who hadn't been seen for many days and whose attire was no longer as flamboyant, and asked with a smile, "What have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you at all."

Xie Zheng replied, "Our band is currently recording new songs. We're going to release an album, so we've been in seclusion for a while."

Bai Zhi's eyes brightened slightly upon hearing his words.

Her tone was also filled with anticipation, "Really? When will the record be released?"

They're about to release a record.

This kid is about to become a superstar.

Since starting his career, Xie Zheng has become more composed. He said, "It should be after the New Year. We've been working overtime lately, without a break, and have already recorded several original songs. They should be ready to be released in a few months. I'll send you a cassette tape then."

"Okay, thank you, I'd like an autographed copy." The superstar's first autographed record will be a collector's item in the future.

Xie Zheng felt extremely honored by Bai Zhi's support, as she was one of the few supporters who had been optimistic about him from the very beginning.

He readily agreed, "Sure, I'll give you the autograph and photos of our band members."

Gu Xiaoyue chimed in, "Brother Zheng, I want one too. You didn't even say you'd give me a cassette tape."

"Deliver, deliver, deliver. Deliver them all."

Xie Zheng reminded Gu Xiaoyue, "Didn't you say you needed to talk to Xiaobai? Tell me quickly."
