Chapter 450: Coming here to support my good brother
"Is the injured worker okay?"
Two workers accidentally fell from the third floor. They were lucky enough to only break their arms and legs, otherwise Zhou Yong would not have been able to come back.
After listening to Zhou Yong's answer, Jiang Changfeng nodded continuously and said seriously: "It's good that no one died, but we need to strengthen the safety management of the construction site. If someone dies, we will be held accountable..."
Zhou Yong was of course aware of the seriousness of the matter, but some outsourced workers were difficult to manage. They always relied on their youth and strength and never took safety hazards seriously.
Workers often take off their safety helmets secretly during work, mainly because the weather is too hot and they can feel cooler when working without their safety helmets.
There are even some young people who fight and play at the construction site. Even if the foreman sees this, he will either give them a verbal warning or a fine.
It is not easy for everyone to make a living. Some soft-hearted foremen only give verbal education, and as a result, some workers gradually ignore the construction site rules and regulations.
Therefore, Zhou Yong dismissed the foreman of the construction site where the accident occurred, severely criticized Li Hongliang, and deducted one month's bonus from him.
Li Hongliang was extremely depressed. He was responsible for seven or eight construction sites by himself. To be honest, it was understandable that he could not take care of some things.
But the worker seriously disregarded the construction site rules and regulations, which was his dereliction of duty.
Li Hongliang had no choice but to accept the punishment given to him by Zhou Yong, and he went back to deal with his men one by one.
Li Hongliang’s mentality is that if I’m not doing well, no one else can expect to have an easy life.
Zhou Yong was talking to Jiang Changfeng as they washed up and came to the dining table. Li Caiyun hurriedly arranged for everyone to take a seat.
There were eight people in total from the Jiang family, including Jiang Changfeng and his family of three. The other five people included Jiang Ziqing's two uncles, her two aunts, and Xiao Pei's best friend.
Fortunately, the Li family’s dining table can be enlarged, otherwise they would have to put in two tables.
When Zhou Yong sat down, he found that Li Hongjun and Zhao Min were not at the scene. After asking, he learned that they were receiving important customers at the factory!
Sun Qing couldn't drink much, so it was useless to call him here. Zhou Yong got up and called Li Ming.
As it turned out, Li Ming was entertaining his in-laws at home. After Zhou Yong hung up the phone, a police car drove directly into Li's yard.
Jiang Changfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Pei. The other members of the Jiang family looked at each other in surprise.
"Jingchu, why did the police car drive into the yard?"
Just as Jiang Ziqing asked this question, Xing Laoqi got out of the police car in his uniform.
Zhou Yong was delighted when he saw Xing Laoqi and hurried out to greet him.
"Seventh Brother, you came at the perfect time, come in and drink with me..."
After hearing what Zhou Yong said, Xing Laoqi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you wanted me to drink with you? I came here after dinner..."
An incident that occurred at the construction site at around eight o'clock in the morning disrupted Zhou Yong's plans.
Although Xing Laoqi said this, he still washed his hands and went to the table.
As soon as he sat down on the chair, Cao Biao, Liu Dazhuang and Chen Pingliang drove over. Their purpose was to see Jiang Ziqing.
Zhou Yong never knew that they were so gossipy, especially Chen Pingliang. As a county magistrate, shouldn’t he be very busy? I actually still have the leisure to think about such things.
What Zhou Yong didn't know was that their visit to see Jiang Ziqing was just an excuse. Mainly because they knew that the Jiang family was rather snobbish, they came specifically to support their good brother.
"The only one missing is Ma San. Why didn't he come?"
Cao Biao glanced around at the people at the dinner table and found that Ma San was not there. He lowered his voice and asked Zhou Yong.
Ma San and Xu Jianmin are on a business trip, otherwise he would not be missing at such occasions.
Zhou Yong introduced everyone to each other. Whether it was Cao Biao's position, Chen Pingliang, Liu Dazhuang, or Xing Laoqi, it was enough to shock the Jiang family.
Not to mention Chen Pingliang. Although he is only the county magistrate of Qingmu County, he holds real power in his hands and ordinary people dare not look down on him.
Moreover, Chen Pingliang's cousins, uncles and uncles all hold important positions in various counties and cities. Even in the capital, he has a powerful brother-in-law.
The Jiang family is doing well in the capital, but they are far inferior to the Chen family.
Chen Pingliang picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. His conversation with Jiang Changfeng became more and more pleasant.
The two chatted about everything as if they were old friends reuniting. The atmosphere was warm and joyful.
Cao Biao, Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang sat on the side. Although they did not directly participate in the conversation, there was a cunning gleam in their eyes. It was obvious that they were determined to knock down all the men from the Jiang family one by one.
Zhou Yong, on the other hand, looked as if he was staying out of the matter. He sat quietly aside, his eyes moving around among the crowd. This scene made Li Baotian smile.
After three rounds of drinking, all the men from the Jiang family were drunk. Naturally, Chen Pingliang and his companions drank a lot. On the other hand, Zhou Yong, the host, was not drunk at all.
Xiao Pei sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted with Li Caiyun and others, glancing towards the restaurant from time to time.
Li Caiyun saw her worry: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, it's okay even if you drink too much, this is your own home..."
It would be embarrassing if he drank too much during his visit and made a fool of himself, but the men in the Jiang family, including Jiang Changfeng, all claimed that they could still drink.
Xiao Pei sighed in her heart, and Li Caiyun smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll take you out for a walk..."
The women responded and Li Caiyun took them away from home.
The streets of Huaixi Village were clean and tidy, with neatly arranged flowers, plants and trees everywhere, which made the women of the Jiang family go from being shocked to being numb.
"I can't believe this is a village. I would have believed it if they said it was an urban area..."
The prosperity of Huaixi Village far exceeded the expectations of Xiao Pei and others. They could hardly believe that what they saw with their own eyes was a village.
Jiang Ziqing smiled and continued: "Mom, look ahead, that's the residential area of Huaixi Village..."
Xiao Pei and his companions looked forward. Wow, there were rows of buildings not far away.
“Your village actually built a building?”
Li Caiyun smiled and told them the original intention of its establishment.
As we were talking, we arrived at the residential area. All we saw were various green plants. Not only was the scenery pleasant, but it was also dazzling.
Li Caiyun took them on a tour, and at around 7:30, the street lights came on.
“Have you installed street lights in your village?”
Aunt Jiang Ziqing regretted asking this question, because on the way here, there were street lights lined up on both sides of the road. She saw them, but just forgot about it.
Li Caiyun nodded, and Xiao Pei and the other members of the Jiang family didn't know what to say.
It’s not that they are ignorant, but everything they see is too unreal, as if they are in a dream.
After returning from the building area, a few people walked on the street, talking and laughing, which attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Sister Xia, did you just get off work?"
On the way, Li Caiyun met Li Caixia who had just returned from the town.
"Don't mention it. I thought I could come back early today to visit your house, but something delayed me until now..."
The two sisters chatted for a while, and Li Caiyun introduced them to each other. After chatting for a while, they returned to Li's house.
The living room at home was very quiet. Li Caiyun went into the house and asked, only to find out that Zhou Yong and the others were all upstairs!
Li Caiyun wanted to take Xiao Pei and others upstairs to rest, when suddenly Uncle Jiang Ziqing's curse came from the second floor. Everyone looked at each other and hurried upstairs.
