Chapter 11: Being an accountant

People who haven't worked at the construction site can't experience this hardship. They rush the progress day and night. In summer, they get up at five o'clock and strive to finish part of the work before the scorching sun appears.

There is rarely time to drink water or go to the toilet after starting work, and there is almost no pause in the middle.

The environment of the construction site is relatively noisy, and there is a certain danger, and the spirit will be highly nervous.

Workers have a large appetite, and women can also eat a large porcelain basin of food. If they are not full, they have no strength at all. How to drag those bucket carts that weigh hundreds of jin, how to move thousands of bricks, how to carry cement?

If you don't sleep at noon, you will collapse in the afternoon. Workers can find a wooden board to be a big bed, and snoring will sound one after another in a while.

Ordinary laborers have no technical content, while skilled workers have certain technology and craftsmanship, including plastering, batch coating... calculated according to the square number, which is very transparent.

The hardest work at the construction site is the laborer, who takes the cheapest salary but does the hardest work, shuttling back and forth at the construction site, at least serving several skilled workers, doing all kinds of work.

Whether it is a rainy day or a sunny day, the work that can be done will always be done. After all, one less day of work is one less day of money.

Lu Fan adapted completely in a few days, doing it decently, which made the foreman very satisfied.

In this way, the bitter working career began. The brothers occasionally went to improve their food, played cards and drank beer after work, day after day, and could see the end at a glance.

August 15th, a very special day, it can be said that this day invisibly changed Lu Fan's destiny.

Lu Fan was working at the construction site when he suddenly heard a voice calling him loudly. He looked up and saw his classmate Wu Heng from Class 3, Grade 2, so he put down the shovel and walked over, patted his hand and smiled: "It's all gray, so I won't shake hands with you, why are you here?"

Wu Heng said happily: "Lu Fan, it's really you! Brother, it's too unkind, leaving school without news, have you been working here?"

"Ten days or so, I've been mixing in Yingjiang after dropping out, and I came back when I couldn't mix it up."

"Why don't you contact me when you come back? Have you forgotten all your old classmates? Chen Liqiong asks about you every day. If I tell her you are here, she can rush here in the afternoon."

"Don't, don't, don't, look at this embarrassed look of the old classmate, I have no face to see everyone!"

"Are you overthinking? We are classmates, iron brothers who go together when things happen! When I fought with Class 6 in the first year of high school, you were the first to rush up. That day I beat Wang Haibin, I didn't keep my hand."

Lu Fan smiled. Everything in school is so nostalgic, but he can never go back. Everyone is already people of two worlds.

"Wu Heng, if you see Wang Haibin, apologize for me."

Wu Heng said indignantly: "That kind of scum, what are you apologizing to him for? It's good not to beat him!"

"If you are a brother, pass a word for me. I believe he is unintentional. We are all classmates, where is there any deep hatred? It's over when it's over."

"Alright, don't you want to send a word to Chen Liqiong? She is chaste and misses you!"

Lu Fan changed the subject: "Don't be poor, you haven't said what you are doing here?"

"Hi, forgot this, come with me!" After saying that, Wu Heng pulled Lu Fan to the foreman's office.

"Wu Heng, don't tell me Boss Wu is your dad?"

"Doesn't it look like it?"

"Alright, I've been working for your dad, you are the young master, you have to take care of it?"

"I am the only son of the Wu family, can he not listen to me? You can do whatever you want in the whole construction site, and I will cover you in the future!"

Lu Fan smiled and said: "I'm just kidding, you take it seriously? I'm just a laborer, maybe I'll leave one day."

Wu Heng pushed open his father's office. Boss Wu was lying on the bed. He looked up and saw it was his son, so he said: "The money is in the drawer, save some for your father, don't be a prodigal son, at least get me a third-tier university next year."

Wu Heng walked over and pulled his father up and said: "This is my brother, a brother who has gone through life and death, you can't let him suffer."

"Old man wants to take a nap!" After Boss Wu got up, he saw Lu Fan and said: "You are classmates with Wu Heng? Oh, I remember, Wu Heng mentioned it a few times at home, didn't think of it together. Son, the construction site is all hard work, there is no way to be relaxed, so you have to study hard, don't be like your father in the future."

Lu Fan looked at the scene before him and was very envious. This is fatherly love!

After chatting for a few words, Boss Wu suddenly thought of something and said: "Xiao Fan, you read to the second year of high school, your cultural level is not low. If you are interested, follow the accountant to learn. The current accountant is a cadre of the public, and the belly is big, and it is almost impossible to do it."

At least it counts as a trade. When the opportunity came, Lu Fan didn't want to give it up, so he said straightforwardly: "As long as Boss Wu trusts me, I can try. I'm just afraid I won't learn it and delay the company's business."

Boss Wu waved his hand and said: "It's just keeping accounts, what's the difficulty? We were all elementary school graduates who could be accountants. You work steadily, and when you are an accountant, you need someone like you. It's settled, you go to follow Liu Ting in the afternoon, mainly those reports and tax reporting things, run to the tax bureau a few more times and you will know."

"Boss Wu, since I promised, I will do my best to do it well. If there is any problem, you can point it out at any time."

"Xiao Fan, you are a brother with Wu Heng, call me Uncle! As long as you study hard and be a good accountant, Uncle won't treat you badly. The salary is calculated at 1,500 yuan per month first. When you can stand alone, I will raise it to 3,000 for you!"

"Uncle Wu, I will work hard!"

Accountants need people who can be trusted. Boss Wu had been worried about the accountant candidate for this period of time. He didn't expect it to be solved in such a muddled way. He was in a good mood and started to educate his son, scaring Wu Heng to flee in a hurry.

After starting work in the afternoon, Boss Wu took Lu Fan to the finance room and handed him over to accountant Liu Ting.

Originally, Lu Fan was worried that the accountant would not have a good face, after all, he was grabbing someone else's rice bowl. Unexpectedly, Liu Ting looked relieved and smiled: "Boss Wu, you finally found a suitable person! If you drag it on for a while, I will give birth to the baby in your construction site. Don't worry, I will bring you out of the apprenticeship as soon as possible."

Boss Wu smiled: "Become a cadre's wife, and you don't look down on my little salary."

Liu Ting smiled: "Deputy, deputy section level only!"

Boss Wu smiled without saying a word, Deputy Director of the Urban Construction Bureau, the leader in charge!

"Xiaoting, you have worked for four years in my place, helping 'Hengjin' get on the right track, it can be said that you are the greatest contributor, 20,000 yuan bonus is what you deserve, don't push it again, Uncle will be angry!"

That afternoon, Liu Ting began to bring Lu Fan, wishing to hand over the business to Lu Fan in one go. The master and apprentice were one willing to teach and one wanted to learn, plus Lu Fan was sweet-mouthed, calling Sister Liu one by one, the progress could be said to be thousands of miles a day. After less than three days, Lu Fan had a glimpse of the accountant business, and plus Lu Fan was serious and careful, he began to handle business, which made Boss Wu, who was observing in the dark, very satisfied.

Boss Wu was able to go from a laborer to tens of millions of family property, naturally having his own extraordinary place. Seeing that Lu Fan learned fast and was steady, he smoked cigarettes while working, and threw two packs of Furong Wang from time to time.

For the eldest brother to be an accountant, Du Wenlong and the brothers felt very magical, very admirable, and a little touched. They began to try hard to find their own masters, so the power of example is infinite.

At the end of August, Liu Ting resolutely resigned. She believed that Lu Fan could already stand alone. Boss Wu bit his teeth and agreed, handing over the financial power to Lu Fan.

During this period, Lu Fan's driver's license was obtained. When he went out to handle business, he took the company's car to practice technology, and occasionally drove for Boss Wu who went out to socialize. It was also much more convenient to go to Yingjiang to see his sister. Life developed in an unknown direction, which Lu Fan had never thought of. Although it felt quite moist, it seemed to be drifting away from the goal in his heart, a little depressed.

However, one thing made Lu Fan extremely happy. The head teacher asked Wu Heng to bring his and Du Wenlong's high school graduation certificates!

With a grateful heart, Lu Fan and Du Wenlong tidied up cleanly, went back to school specially, and thanked the head teacher Zhao Peiwai for his selfless help.

Teacher Zhao encouraged them not to be content with the status quo, not to be willing to be mediocre, and to bravely pursue their ideals or more ambitious goals, which made Lu Fan very ashamed, feeling that he had lost face for the teacher.

Saying goodbye to his benefactor, when the two were about to walk out of the school gate, a crisp voice came from behind: "Lu Fan, you stand still for me!"

Looking back, it was his deskmate Chen Liqiong.

"Lu Fan, you came back to school silently, and you were about to leave without saying a word? If it weren't for class, I wouldn't have caught you!"

Since they met, Lu Fan had to smile and say: "I'm not doing well, I have no face to see everyone! Wait until I make a lot of money, I will definitely come back to treat everyone to dinner!"

Chen Liqiong looked at Lu Fan with resentful eyes, the upturned corners of her mouth revealed serious dissatisfaction, and she said aggrievedly: "You must have a phone, leave the number to me, as a deskmate, I have the right to contact you at any time." 【1

Lu Fan had no choice but to give his mobile number.

After Chen Liqiong recited it to herself a few times, she said, "If I send you a message, you better not leave it unread!"

"Since my deskmate thinks highly of me, I will definitely reply."

"That's more like it. I'm going to class."

After walking a few steps, Chen Liqiong turned back to look at Lu Fan, flashed a sweet smile, and called out, "Lu Fan, keep it up!"

Du Wenlong felt very aggrieved and just wanted to say, what about me? Am I invisible?

"Brother Fan, this young lady definitely has a thing for you!"

Lu Fan gave a faint smile!

Lu Fan did not see that a girl at the classroom window had been watching him the whole time, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

For Lu Fan, the most important thing right now was to make money. Money could solve all the predicaments he was currently facing; everything else was just fleeting clouds.
