Chapter 355 The couple is full of bad intentions
Li Hongjun silently endured Zhou Yong's anger, his heart filled with helplessness.
If he had not spoken well of his brother to Zhou Yong, the position of project director would never have fallen into Li Hongliang's hands.
Zhou Yong gave such an important position to Li Hongjun for Li Hongjun's sake, but what did Li Hongliang do?
Not only did he fail to complete a single business deal, he also didn't know how to manage his subordinates. Now it's even worse. He actually left his post without permission and went home to do paid farm work.
Assuming everyone is like Li Hongliang, how would Zhou Yong lead this team?
Li Hongjun looked ashamed: "Zhou Yong, don't be angry, I will deal with your second brother later."
Zhou Yong said, "Brother, this is not a question of whether to deal with my second brother or not. It's that my second brother doesn't take his work seriously at all. If this continues for a long time, I won't be able to continue to take care of him..."
After all, there are so many eyes watching. Even if Zhou Yong wants to favor Li Hongliang, he can't go too far.
Take today's incident for example. If Zhou Yong did not have a tough attitude, he dared to say that there would be more absences among management staff tomorrow.
Li Hongjun understood Zhou Yong’s difficulties and also understood his feelings.
"Don't worry, I will have a good talk with your second brother about these things."
Zhou Yong pursed his lips and repeated what he had said in the office.
He was not targeting Li Hongliang, but all the absentees.
Li Hongjun kept nodding his head. Seeing Zhou Yong's expression soften, he finally felt relieved.
The two chatted for more than ten minutes before entering the office. When it was time to get off work, Li Hongjun went to Li Hongliang's house.
Li Hongliang was building a granary to store food at home. When he saw Li Hongjun coming, he smiled happily.
"Brother, you are really my savior. You come to help me as soon as you get off work."
Li Hongjun glanced at his careless brother and scolded him.
Li Hongliang stopped smiling, lowered his head and said nothing.
Li Hongjun raised his hand angrily and tapped Li Hongliang's head: "You always tell me that you can't get Zhou Yong's attention. How can others pay attention to you if you are like this?"
Li Hongliang raised his head slightly and said, "Brother, there is no work at the construction company, and everyone is wasting time there. What's wrong with me going home to do some work? Is Zhou Yong going to take me too seriously?"
Li Hongjun was so angry that he laughed: "Zhou Yong is taking you too seriously? You didn't violate the rules and regulations, would he do this to you? And this matter is not just aimed at you, it is aimed at all the absent staff today..."
Following Li Hongjun's words, Li Hongliang gradually realized his mistake.
Li Hongjun's tone softened: "Perform well and don't always say that you are not valued. Didn't Caixia also work her way up from the bottom to the current position of factory director? And didn't I also come step by step?"
When Li Caixia first started working at the farm, her assigned job was to clean up animal manure.
That job was better in winter, but the smell was terrible in summer. Even so, Li Caixia still had no complaints.
Thanks to her hard-working spirit, she was promoted by Zhou Yong and now becomes the director of the flour mill.
Li Hongliang thought about those things and nodded: "Brother, I know what I should do in the future."
He is a man with no bad intentions and is a straightforward person.
How could Zhou Yong dare to use such a person?
So Li Hongliang has been working at the grassroots level over the years.
Li Hongjun patted his brother's shoulder gently and encouraged him: "Follow Zhou Yong and work hard. He will not treat you unfairly."
Li Hongliang nodded vigorously, and Li Hongjun spoke again: "I will accompany you to admit your mistake to Zhou Yong later. You must promise not to violate the rules and regulations again. Otherwise, if you are fired, don't blame others..."
"Brother, I'm not stupid. I know what to do."
Li Hongjun was a little worried: "Don't keep saying you know what to do, you have to take action."
Li Hongliang gave a bitter smile. Li Hongjun looked at his brother and felt a sense of powerlessness.
Li Hongjun looked at the half-built granary and reached out to help his brother start working.
Around seven o'clock in the evening, the two brothers went to their third uncle's house.
When they came over, Zhou Kexin's four siblings and the children from the neighbors on both sides were playing "Eagle Catches Chicken" at the gate!
The two brothers entered the yard, and Zhou Yong was busy repairing a small bench in the yard!
Li Hongliang was very perceptive and took over the job.
The legs of the stool are a bit loose and just need to be reinforced.
After a while, Li Hongliang fixed the two small benches, and the three of them stood in the Li family yard and chatted.
Li Hongliang admitted his mistake sincerely and promised that such things would not happen again.
After talking about this matter, Li Hongliang changed the subject and talked about the affairs of Zhou Gang and Zhou Qiang's families.
In July, the verdicts for Zhou Gang and his wife and Zhou Qiang and his wife were announced. The four faced five years in prison, eight years in prison, and ten years in prison respectively.
Afterwards, their two children dropped out of school and continued to live in Huaixi Village. Since they did not know how to farm, each family's fields were left in a state of disrepair.
Gradually, the children's minds were no longer on the fields. Someone gave them the idea, but they actually started to engage in speculation for a living.
Nowadays, all townships have entered a semi-open state regarding speculation and profiteering, so no one in the village asks about their affairs.
Unfortunately, none of the children had ever done business, so they did not lose everything, but they did not have much savings left.
Then the children decided to move out of Huaixi Village and seek survival with their grandmother's family.
Others are trying their best to settle down in Huaixi Village, but they just want to move away in a fit of anger.
Normally, if they wanted to move out, they could get a refund of 200 yuan for the house, but neither of their two houses were returned. Instead, they were taken over by Zhou Tao and his wife.
Today Zhou Tao's wife is looking for someone to exchange houses with. The couple wants to exchange their house with Zhou Gang and Zhou Qiang's houses, and plan to connect the three houses together...
After listening to Li Hongliang's words, Zhou Yong suddenly realized and understood the real motives of Zhou Tao and his wife.
Li Hongjun angrily spat on the ground: "What exactly are Zhou Tao and his wife up to? Didn't they tell the children that they can get 200 yuan if they return the house?"
Li Hongliang shook his head: "Then I don't know."
Now all the houses in Huaixi Village have been taken. If one wants to expand the area of one's own residence, the only option is to connect the adjacent houses.
Privately building houses is not allowed in Huaixi Village, because the brigade does not allow anyone to destroy the layout and overall aesthetics of the village.
Li Hongjun curled his lips: "I don't know if the couple spent any money on the two houses. If they didn't spend a penny, they are really wicked..."
Some things don't need to be stated explicitly, everyone knows what is going on.
Zhou Yong looked down: "When did they move away?"
"It seemed like the day before yesterday."
Zhou Yong drew out an "oh" and Li Hongjun said, "Usually they seem to be a bit listless, but now I know that they are full of bad intentions."
Li Hongliang frowned slightly: "Brother, I can't say the same thing as you do. After all, some things are just our guesses. What if Zhou Tao and his wife gave them money?"
Li Hongjun sneered: "How much can you give? Isn't it just 200 yuan? You have to know that 200 yuan is not enough to build a three-and-a-half-room brick house with a single door and a courtyard..."
