Especially that swaggering man, he didn't look like someone to be trifled with—
Lu Zhixia rode her bicycle, and they followed behind in their car. They arrived at the house she had bought very quickly.
After parking the bicycle against the wall, I took out my key and opened the door.
She led a large group of people in and went into every room. Then, Lu Zhixia took out a pen and paper and had a long argument with the person in charge of the work.
The paper alone took up several pages. The general steps were determined, and the next step was to calculate the materials.
Lu Zhixia had a general idea of the costs, having spent so much time in the market and knowing the approximate labor costs. As for the material costs, they were roughly the same.
The plan was quickly finalized. Lu Zhixia felt her mouth was very dry and wanted to drink water, but there was no water available.
I glanced down at my watch and realized it was lunchtime before I knew it, so I greeted them warmly.
"Come on, I'll treat you to a meal!"
"That's not right! Let me treat you!" How could Brother Biao let a woman go out to eat, especially someone he admired?
"This meal is on me, consider it our first meal together!" Lu Zhixia said sincerely. "I just finished discussing the work schedule, timeline, and materials with this guy. From now on, I'll leave this job to you guys, so don't let me down!"
Brother Biao patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry, girl! You can't go wrong entrusting this job to them."
Lu Zhixia: "It's because I trust your character."
Both sides burst into laughter, and that was how the matter was settled.
Soon they arrived at a small state-run restaurant nearby. It wasn't very big, and there weren't many people eating there.
Therefore, there weren't any particularly large tables, so the waiters had to push two tables together to give them a place to eat.
Lu Zhixia took the menu and ordered eight dishes and a soup, plus a whole big bowl of rice.
This deeply moved the workers; it was the first time someone had ever treated them to such a generous meal.
Brother Biao gave Lu Zhixia a thumbs up, "Girl, you'll definitely achieve great things in the future. Don't forget your brother then! If you need anything, just tell me. If it's within my power, I'll definitely do it! We men are men of our word!"
Lu Zhixia said, "If that's the case, I do have something to tell you later, but it's not convenient to say it now."
Brother Biao understood without asking, thinking that the girl definitely wanted to teach that scumbag a lesson.
Thinking about it, Song Weidong really did have some ability, managing to get a job at a chemical plant. He was quite surprised when he found out.
Because chemical plants aren't places that just anyone can get into. Even if you're doing menial work there, you can't get in without connections.
The benefits were so-so, but the salary was high. Someone once asked him to help get in, and he pulled several strings to finally get one person in.
Lu Zhixia didn't order them any baijiu (Chinese liquor), but instead ordered a case of beer. Seeing that they were eating a bit reservedly, she told them...
"You can eat as you normally would, there's no need to hide anything from me. But let me make this clear, I can't drink with you."
The man sitting opposite immediately said, "Girl, it's our great fortune to meet you today. It's been so hard for us to find a job!"
Lu Zhixia didn't understand what he meant. Why was it so hard to find a job?
Brother Biao said in a low voice, "These guys all have criminal records; they've all been in jail for a few days."
Lu Zhixia understood that the group of people in front of her were prisoners, people who had served time in prison. They didn't look like they were doing anything bad; some of them even looked quite honest and kind.
Brother Biao continued, “They are different from me. Some are honest people who were bullied to the point of desperation, while others had no other choice. I also spent time there. After getting to know them, we became friends.”
Lu Zhixia finally understood what was going on. "Brothers, I believe that as long as we keep moving forward, there will always be a way! Our better days are ahead. I'll drink this soda instead of alcohol to you guys!"
After they heard this, they raised their bowls, and Lu Zhixia tapped each of their bowls against her soda bottle.
Then, seeing them drink it all in one go, she wasn't going to be outdone and drank all the remaining soda, getting her fill of water.
But seeing how happy they are, I know I did the right thing.
The meal was quite lively. After it ended, the group left, leaving only her and Brother Biao. When the waiter tried to clean up, Lu Zhixia simply sent them away and then spoke to Brother Biao.
"I want you to arrest Song Weidong and take him to a place."
