As the young lady of a top luxury family, Jiang Hexi was sent to a farming reality show to experience life after losing a billion in investments. Accompanying her in farming were four super-rich se...
Jiang Hexi led Chu Yang to distribute all the queue numbers.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Li Youtian walking out and hurriedly asked him:
"Uncle Youtian, where are you going?"
"Is there anything else here? I'm going to take a walk by the pond."
"Who said nothing's wrong? How could nothing be wrong?"
Jiang Hexi and Chu Yang blocked Li Youtian's path from the left and right, and without giving him a chance to explain, they led him back to the courtyard. The three of them then stood back in front of the camera in the corner.
"Uncle Tian, if you don't stay here to keep things in check and deter others, what if another disturbance breaks out in a bit?"
Jiang Hexi refused to let him go no matter what she said. "I'm just a figurehead. If a fight really breaks out, I'll run faster than anyone else, let alone stop it."
"Sis, stop bragging."
Chu Yang saw through her, "If something really happens, I'll definitely run faster than you."
Looking at the two people competing to see who could be the most coward, Li Youtian could tell from their serious expressions that they weren't lying.
"The water plants are on the tricycle, and there are still fish in the pond that haven't been fed. I have to go over there."
"Chu Yang and I can help you feed the fish in the pond, but if Uncle doesn't keep an eye on things here, there might be big trouble."
In order to keep the person here, Jiang Hexi showed utmost sincerity, saying:
"Uncle You Tian, I'd like to ask you to be the security captain for the Thousand Family Banquet. The daily wage is two hundred. Is that convenient for you?"
"Uncle, you're the only one fit for the security captain position. You have no choice but to take it."
Li Youtian stared blankly at the two men, his mind a jumble. He didn't know whether he should take the job, but the daily wage of two hundred was too tempting.
"What does a security captain do?"
"You can earn twice as much as others just by standing around without doing anything."
Jiang Hexi is good at making empty promises. "If someone causes trouble, you can just shout and drive them away."
Afterwards, Li Youtian, who stayed up all night guarding the shallow water beach camp, watching over the thousand-family banquet venue, and finding people to repair the water and electricity, always had a bellyful of bitterness to vent whenever he thought of this sentence.
Before Li Youtian could respond, Jiang Hexi and Chu Yang rode their electric bikes to the pond.
They fed the fish, not worried that Li Youtian would refuse them.
[Hehehehe, the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix are serious about running away from the competition.]
[Li Youtian, the notorious tyrant of Canglang Village, has actually been recruited and made the security captain!]
Everyone on this variety show is a comedian, even my Uncle Li is no exception.
Yan Jie had been talking all day, and his throat was parched. He used the microphone to shout out in the middle of the conversation:
"Chu Yang, get me a glass of water. One of you in line outside, please come in."
A dark-skinned middle-aged man wearing slippers walked in. His face was flushed, and he reeked of alcohol. He asked:
"I heard you're planning to set up a campsite in the shallows and need to rent a diesel generator?"
Yan Jie smelled the pungent odor of alcohol on him and frowned slightly.
Do you have rental channels?
"I have a way to get you diesel generators, as many as you need, and as much power as you need, and at the lowest price on the market."
Yan Jie saw through his intentions at a glance. "You've gone to so much trouble to help, how much of a tip should I give you?"
The dark-skinned man chuckled honestly, "Not much, just a thousand."
Yan Jie nodded and dismissed the man: "Go back first, and I'll have the village chief contact you once I've raised enough money."
The dark-skinned man didn't leave any contact information. He got up drunkenly and walked out the door with satisfaction.
A glass of water was quietly handed to me.
Yan Jie took the glass of water, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the man's arm was covered in coarse hair. He looked up and met Li Youtian's fierce gaze, then put the glass down before he could even drink it.
Li Youtian didn't even glance at him and said, "Afraid I'll poison you?"
After his initial surprise, Yan Jie picked up his water glass, took a sip, and said, "Thanks, Uncle Li."
“Xi Mei asked me to come and work as a security guard. The daily wage is two hundred, not a penny less.”
Li Youtian was afraid that he wouldn't pay him, and that he would have stood guard for three days for nothing, without getting any benefits, which would have been a huge loss for him.
This was the first time Yan Jie had encountered an employee who dared to threaten the boss. "Xi Mei has the final say on this matter, but I'd like to add a little something extra: there will be a commission if things are done well."
Li Youtian was relieved and kindly reminded him:
"What that drunkard said earlier is true. His father-in-law's nephew's wife's brother-in-law is the workshop director at the diesel engine factory in Linshi."
Yan Jie put down his water glass and said, "Uncle Li, why are you only saying this now? He's already gone."
"Where could he possibly get in just a minute or two?"
Li Youtian took a deep breath and roared from the ground, as if struck by lightning, silencing everyone around him.
"Lu Jiu, you come back here—!!"
The sound was incredibly loud, carrying far away to the end of the path. A minute later, a heavy, panting echoed back from outside the door:
"Old Tian, what do you want from me?"
Yan Jie and the other guests present all learned something new. They realized that the villagers' way of communicating was so primitive and crude, relying entirely on shouting at the top of their lungs.
Li Youtian didn't give Lu Jiu a friendly look, "You've run all this way, are you sober yet?"
Lu Jiu walked into the courtyard, panting, pulled up a chair and sat down in front of the long table. "Your voice startled me sobered me up instantly."
Yan Jie then got down to business, "Brother Lu, could you bring us the rental price of the diesel generator?"
"Lowest rental price in the city. Whatever kind of diesel generator you want, I'll get it for you," Lu Jiu muttered. "Didn't we agree on that? What other order do you need?"
"We didn't agree on the tip."
Li Youtian said with a stern face, "You're working for the village, so don't even think about taking a single penny of tip."
Yan Jie saw that Lu Jiu was being scolded and didn't dare to say a word, completely suppressed.
He mediated, saying, "Uncle Li is currently in charge of security for the Thousand Family Banquet. If Brother Lu is willing, how about becoming Uncle Li's deputy captain for a daily wage of 150?"
"Sure, no problem at all."
Lu Jiu, no longer looking aggrieved, said with a smug look on his face, "I know they're signing up to earn a hundred yuan a day, hehe."
Yan Jie nodded to him with pleasure, "This is what we should give you, after all, you and Uncle Li are so familiar with each other."
Uncle Li's thunderous roar would terrify anyone; no wonder Lu Jiu ran back as fast as he could.
[That cunning businessman, Yan Wang, didn't mention a single benefit of the diesel generator, and even tricked Lu Jiu into becoming a security guard, making it a legitimate reason for Lu Jiu to work for him.]
My head is about to explode. How did the King of Hell manage to get rid of Lu Jiu with only a daily wage of 100 yuan without giving him a thousand yuan bribe?
[The local bullies can't get the benefits, and the local tyrants can't get them either; their main strategy is mutual oppression.]
