Chapter 787 788. Confusion and seeking help

Everyone had made their choice, except Lu Weidang, who frowned and looked hesitant.

"Weidang, what do you think? Do you want to take the college entrance examination?" Chen Xiaoliang poked his arm and asked.

Lu Weidang is also an extroverted person. Since he started working, he quickly became friends with Chen Xiaoliang.

"If I have the opportunity to go to university, I really want to try. But when I was in school, I was too busy playing around and didn't study hard at all. I have basically forgotten all the knowledge I learned in junior high and high school. I don't know if it will be too late to start reviewing now."

Lu Weidang wanted to go to college, but he had no confidence in his abilities.

Although Yue Wenxuan will not interfere with everyone's choice, if someone wants to give it a try, he will definitely support it.

Lu Weidang's hesitation has already shown that he is still inclined to take the college entrance examination. It is necessary to give him some encouragement and support at this time.

“Weidang, there is no need to hesitate. Even if you fail the exam, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Besides, I think you are a very smart person, although your foundation is a little weak. But among all the candidates taking the college entrance examination, how many have a good foundation?

We are all at the same starting line. As long as you study hard from now on, even if you can't get into the university of your choice, it's good enough to get into a technical secondary school or college."

Just as Yue Wenxuan thought, Lu Weidang was just not confident in himself, and what he needed most now was the understanding and support of others. Even if Yue Wenxuan hadn't said these words, he would at most be entangled for a few days, and would eventually choose to refer to it.

Being praised by Yue Wenxuan for being smart, Lu Weidang felt a little embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head and said:

"At best, I am just a little clever. Compared with Lu Songlin, I am still far behind. I do have this self-awareness.

Since you think I should give it a try, I'll give it a try. If I can get into a technical secondary school or college, I'll make a lot of money."

There are only ten people in the Red Star Department Store. After everyone expressed their attitude, six of them had to take the college entrance examination, and only four could still work normally. This would inevitably increase the workload for these four people.

Although Chen Xiaoliang has made his attitude clear and is willing to work overtime on behalf of his second sister, others may not be willing to do so.

Taking this into consideration, Yue Wenxuan thought for a moment and said, "We have six people from the Red Star Department Store who are going to take the college entrance examination. We will have to spare more time to study, and the other four people will inevitably have to take on more work.

I think it would be better to adjust the salary of Chen Xiaoliang, Chi Xingmao, Cai Youliang, and Mou Keyong from this month, and increase it by 5 yuan per month. Do you have any objection?"

Chen Xiaoliang was the first to speak out: "There's no need to increase the salary. It's just a matter of doing more work. We are all young and strong. How can you make us tired?"

With Chen Xiaoliang taking the lead, the other three also expressed their attitudes, which were the same as Chen Xiaoliang's.

The other people who were preparing to take the college entrance examination would not accept it with peace of mind. Lu Songlin also said:

“It’s only right to give them a raise, and I have no objection to that, but our workload has decreased, and it would not be appropriate if our monthly salary remains the same as before.

My salary is already quite high, and now that my workload has decreased, my monthly salary should naturally be reduced. How about reducing it by five dollars a month? "

Wen Xiaoqing and others were not people who were willing to take advantage. After Lu Songlin made his statement, they also expressed their willingness to reduce their wages.

After everyone expressed their opinions, Yue Wenxuan made the final decision, "Wages should be raised, but there is no need to reduce them. Our department store can still pay you wages, so you don't have to worry about me.

If we really have to wait until the day when we can’t pay salaries, it won’t be too late for us to discuss reducing salaries.”

After the decision of whether to take the college entrance examination was made, everyone's work enthusiasm became even higher, and the income of the department store was not affected by having to free up more time to study.

Although Yue Wenxuan didn't care about this, others did.

Yue Wenxuan did not take out all the college entrance examination review materials at once, but found various reasons and took about half a month to prepare all the college entrance examination review materials for each subject.

After all the college entrance examination review materials were taken out, the future tasks of the mimeographing project team were also fixed. Yue Wenxuan temporarily decided to print 5,000 copies of all the review materials. He also set a price for each copy of the materials, and they would be sold publicly in department stores in the future.

Although the price of mimeographed materials is not high, if all 5,000 copies of the materials are sold, the operating income can reach about 7,000 yuan.

If the cost is calculated, the profit is actually very small. But because the main cost comes from paper, and these papers are spare items that Yue Wenxuan took out from the small world, which is almost equivalent to no cost, the operating income of 7,000 yuan can basically be pocketed by Yue Wenxuan.

If Yue Wenxuan is short of money, this is actually a good opportunity to make money in a legitimate way.

As long as he can print out the college entrance examination review materials, basically he can sell as many as he prints. When the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination is officially announced in October, they will definitely be sold out, and there is no need to worry about a backlog.

Moreover, he sold them through the small collective of Red Star Department Store, not privately, so it had nothing to do with speculation. In addition, the profit was meager, so even if the quantity sold was larger, there was no need to worry about causing trouble.

But Yue Wenxuan was not greedy and did not plan to add more mimeograph machines.

At this stage, even if he had a lot of money, it would be difficult to spend it openly. By the time he could spend it in the future, he would no longer be short of money, so he naturally wouldn't have to rack his brains to make money at this time.

Besides, the efficiency of the mimeograph machine was too low. Even if he added two more mimeograph machines, how much more money could he make? And adding more equipment would require more manpower, which would be another series of troubles. It was really unnecessary for him.

Even if there were only these two mimeograph machines, as long as they were used well, the money he would eventually earn would be enough for him to spend in the next few years.

With the college entrance examination review materials for various subjects, those who are preparing to take the college entrance examination will have the confidence. They no longer have to study blindly and will have more confidence in the college entrance examination.

Of course, Yue Wenxuan would not hide all the college entrance examination question types in these college entrance examination review materials. He would not be so blatant, nor did he have the courage to do so.

What he provided was a relatively comprehensive set of college entrance examination review materials, which only covered the basic knowledge of each subject.

After the people in the department store have mastered these basic knowledge, he will prepare some test papers according to the situation to broaden everyone's horizons.

Of course, she would definitely give her some special help based on her sister's study situation. For others, he would only help appropriately, but he would definitely let his sister get into college and would not let her have any regrets. In the intense study of everyone, time unknowingly entered September.

In the morning, Yue Wenxuan came to the department store. When he saw Wen Xiaoqing, he found that her eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried a lot.

Seeing that she was absent-minded and looked like she was worried about something, Yue Wenxuan did not ask her about it, but instead found Chen Yuemei alone.

"Sister Yuemei, has Wen Xiaoqing encountered any problems?" Yue Wenxuan asked as soon as they met.

Chen Yuemei and Wen Xiaoqing lived in the same room, so of course Wen Xiaoqing could not hide anything from her.

Ever since she learned about Wen Xiaoqing's difficulties, Chen Yuemei had been thinking about how to help her. Even if Yue Wenxuan didn't find her to ask, she planned to ask Yue Wenxuan for help.

"Yesterday Xiaoqing received a letter from a friend of her eldest brother asking for help.

The letter said that her eldest brother had pneumonia, but he was allergic to penicillin. The doctor said his condition was very serious and he urgently needed an imported medicine to cure him.

The farm where her eldest brother lived was very remote and there was no such imported medicine in the local area, so she could only write to Xiaoqing for help, hoping that she could think of a solution in Kyoto.

I heard that this imported medicine is very expensive and difficult to buy. After receiving the letter, Xiaoqing was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night and kept crying.

Wenxuan, you know a lot of people, can you find a way to help her? If the money is not enough, I have saved some money and I can give it all to you. "

After saying these words, Chen Yuemei looked at Yue Wenxuan expectantly.

"I think it should be no problem. It just so happens that the mother of a good friend of mine works in the hospital." Yue Wenxuan gave an extremely affirmative answer, "Leave this matter to me. I will go and ask Wen Xiaoqing what kind of imported medicine she needs. As for the money, you don't have to worry. I still have a lot of money in my hand, which is definitely enough."

Knowing that it was a problem with imported drugs, Yue Wenxuan was no longer worried.

Even if this kind of imported medicine is difficult to buy from the hospital, he must have a reserve of it in his little world.

Yue Wenxuan asked Chen Yuemei to call Wen Xiaoqing over. There was no need to beat around the bush at this time. He said directly:

"Xiao Qing, I have just asked Sister Yuemei, I know everything about you.

I have a friend in the hospital. What kind of imported medicine does your brother need? Tell me the name and I will go to the hospital right away. "

After hearing Yue Wenxuan's words, Wen Xiaoqing, who was at a loss, suddenly felt more confident. Two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably, and she choked up a little as she told Yue Wenxuan the medicines her elder brother needed.

Time is urgent now, Yue Wenxuan has no time to comfort Wen Xiaoqing, "Write me your brother's mailing address now, and after I buy the medicine, I will mail it directly to the post office, so it will be faster."

Wen Xiaoqing quickly found a pen and wrote her elder brother's contact address to Yue Wenxuan.

After looking at the address, Yue Wenxuan frowned immediately.

The mailing address turned out to be in the far southwest, which was too far away. If it was sent by post, it might take half a month to receive it, which might not be in time.

Fortunately, this matter was not difficult for the experienced Yue Wenxuan. After a little thought, he said, "The journey is too far. If it is mailed, it will take too long and may delay things."

"What should I do?"

Wen Xiaoqing had been thinking about buying medicines all night, and had not had time to think about what to do after buying the medicines. After listening to Yue Wenxuan's analysis, she became even more anxious.

"How about this, after I buy the medicine, I'll write a letter of introduction to Chen Xiaoliang and ask him to make the trip. Even if the journey isn't smooth, it should take four or five days at most, and it won't delay anything."

Wen Xiaoqing felt that she would owe him a huge favor if she did so, so she quickly said, "I'd better go there myself. After all, this is my personal matter, and I can't bear to bother Chen Xiaoliang. It's a good opportunity for me to go see my elder brother."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Chen Xiaoliang and I are childhood friends. Just think of him as making this trip on my behalf.

Don't you always feel that you owe me too much? It doesn't matter if you do it one more time.

The main reason is that you are a girl and you are so beautiful. It is really worrying for me to see you running such a long distance.

If something happens to you and you lose time because of it, it will be too late to regret, don’t you think that’s true?”

Yue Wenxuan's last words touched Wen Xiaoqing. If the delivery of medicine was really delayed because of her, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

When Wen Xiaoqing thought about owing Yue Wenxuan another huge favor, she and Yue Wenxuan looked at each other. Under his gentle gaze, she suddenly felt a little flustered.

Yue Wenxuan naturally noticed Wen Xiaoqing's evasive gaze, but now was not the time to be sentimental. He had to arrange this matter quickly. After all, this was a matter of saving lives and could not be delayed.

Yue Wenxuan already had this kind of imported medicine in his small world, so he naturally didn't need to go to the hospital to ask for help in buying it. He now needed to rush to the station and buy the tickets first so that Chen Xiaoliang could leave as soon as possible.

If he used his connections to buy a sleeper ticket, it would be a waste of time. Anyway, Chen Xiaoliang was young and strong and in good health, and he was not afraid of the bumpy journey, so Yue Wenxuan simply bought a hard seat ticket at the window of the station.

The departure time is two o'clock in the afternoon, so it's still plenty of time for Chen Xiaoliang to get ready.

After returning to the department store, Yue Wenxuan called Chen Xiaoliang aside, explained the situation to him, and then asked: "Does anything happen at home these two days? If not, you can go there and take the train to deliver the medicine. If you don't have time, I will arrange someone else."

"What could possibly happen at my house? I'll go over there. After all, human life is at stake. Just leave the matter to me, and you can rest assured." Chen Xiaoliang agreed readily, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"When you go to the farm, you can get a side view of Brother Wen Xiaoqing's situation.

I'll bring you 200 yuan and 100 kilograms of national food coupons, and also pack you some nutritional supplements. You can give them to him if he needs them, depending on the actual situation."

The reason why Yue Wenxuan thought of Chen Xiaoliang first and asked him to make this trip was because he believed in Chen Xiaoliang's ability to do things.
