"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Chapter 153 Solving the Workers' Problem

Although the money was meager, the living conditions were poor, and the security was terrible, with thieves and hooligans frequently visiting.

"Don't worry," Li Changzhou said, revealing his plan. "A police station will be set up in the workers' dormitory. By the way, do you six want to be police officers? You'll be in charge of handling any disputes in the dormitory from now on."

"We...become police officers?"

"Can we become police officers?"

"No, no, Second Master, we can't do it!"

The more Li Changzhou thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He ignored them and turned to Liu De, saying, "Call the police station and take them to get police uniforms today, and give them some basic training on how to be a policeman."

1200ksw.

"Okay." Liu De nodded.

"Police..." the six muttered to themselves, unable to believe it.

Overnight, they went from being on the verge of starvation to becoming police officers with government jobs.

In their eyes, police officers are the elite, they won't be bullied by any gang, petty thugs will turn away in fear when they see them, and their wages will be paid on time and in full.

“I made you police officers because you’ve had tough times, you know what workers worry about, where they need to be on guard, and how to handle things in the best way for the workers,” Li Changzhou explained.

The six men knelt down again, this time not only to do things for Li Changzhou...

"Second Master, if you say the word, even if it's the muzzle of a gun, we'll block it! No matter how big the waves are, we'll jump in to haul the goods!"

"I'm here to give you a good life. What good will it do me if you die? Get up."

When they mentioned the sea, Li Changzhou inquired about the frozen sea, and this time he heard some different information.

"Second Master, I don't think the freezing of the sea is due to the weather, it's because... there's a monster!"

"Ah Hai, don't talk nonsense! What monster is this!"

“No, you go ahead.” Li Changzhou gestured for the man called Ah Hai to continue.

“I saw it with my own eyes. At that time, the sea had just started to freeze, and there were still some goods coming into the port every day. In order to get work as soon as possible the next morning, the six of us slept on the dock. That night, I was so cold that I couldn't sleep, so I wandered around the dock and saw a huge monster!”

"Did you see what it looked like?" Li Changzhou asked.

Ahai touched the back of his neck sheepishly: "It looks like a squid, or maybe a fishing net. I couldn't see it clearly because it was dark."

“It’s a fishing net,” said the man named A-Zhao among the six.

"Second Master, sometimes people dry their fishing nets at the dock," said a man named Ah Xiong. He was the one who cried the most last night and was also the leader of the six.

"No!" Ah Hai, being younger, blushed immediately upon being refuted. "I've been unloading cargo at the dock since I was twelve. Do you think I don't know what fishing nets are? You're a monster!"

Li Changzhou seemed to be deep in thought.
