When Shen Qiqi heard Wu Zhuanghan's offer, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch. This guy really dared to ask such a price!
Five dollars a day, this is going to suck the blood of the entire village!
She took a deep breath and decided to go straight to the door to argue, "Come on, Lu Qing, let's go meet this 'local tyrant'."
Lu Qing naturally stayed by her side. He understood Qiqi's personality. The more she encountered such "obstacles", the more she would burst out with amazing fighting power.
The two walked side by side on the village path, and the sunlight shining on them seemed to be coated with a layer of golden glow.
Feeling Lu Qing's firm support, Shen Qiqi's originally uneasy heart slowly calmed down. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she silently said in her heart: Today, we must take down Wu Zhuanghan!
The door of Wu Zhuanghan's house was open. He was sitting in the yard, smoking his pipe leisurely, looking like he was the best in the world.
Shen Qiqi walked into the yard, glanced at him sharply, and said straight to the point: "Wu Zhuanghan, I heard that you want to charge per person, five dollars per person per day?"
Wu Zhuanghan glanced at her sideways, exhaled a puff of thick smoke, and said slowly: "That's right, no money? Then don't even think about repairing the canal!" His nonchalant look really made people want to punch him.
Shen Qiqi crossed her arms, chuckled, and there was a hint of amusement in her eyes: "Oh, your wishful thinking is really loud enough." Although her tone was relaxed, it gave people an invisible sense of oppression, like the calm before the storm.
Wu Zhuanghan obviously didn't expect Shen Qiqi to react like this. He was stunned for a moment, then resumed his arrogant expression: "Why? Too expensive? Then go find someone else. Anyway, I'm the only one in the village who can do this job!"
His smug look really makes people want to give him a look of contempt.
Shen Qiqi smiled, a smile that was somewhat meaningful. She stared at him meaningfully, as if she saw through everything about him.
"Wu Zhuanghan, are you sure you're the only one who can do this job?" Shen Qiqi's voice was not loud, but it carried a chill that could not be ignored.
She took a step forward and stared at him with burning eyes, as if she wanted to see through him.
Wu Zhuanghan felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him. He took a deep drag on his pipe, trying to hide his guilty conscience. His eyes flickered as he said, "Of course, who else can do it besides me?"
Shen Qiqi didn't answer him, but turned to look at Lu Qing. The two looked at each other, and Lu Qing nodded slightly in understanding. A tense atmosphere filled the air.
"Wu Zhuanghan, do you really want to do this?" Shen Qiqi's lips curled up again, but this time, the smile was a little dangerous.
Shen Qiqi smiled faintly, "Five dollars a day? Wu Zhuanghan, you underestimate us too much, don't you?" She paused deliberately, whetting Wu Zhuanghan's appetite, and then continued slowly, "How about this, we don't charge by the number of people, but by the amount of work, how about that?"
When Wu Zhuanghan heard this, he immediately became interested. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the algorithm?"
Shen Qiqi stretched out a finger, shook it, and said, "One price, fifty yuan! The entire canal will be repaired for fifty yuan! But," she changed her tone, "you have to guarantee the quality, and the construction period cannot exceed half a month."
Fifty dollars!
This is not a small amount!
Wu Zhuanghan's heart skipped a beat. This amount of money was enough for him to live a carefree life for a while.
He began to think seriously about Shen Qiqi's proposal, with greed flashing in his eyes.
The surrounding villagers also started talking about it. They were all stunned by Shen Qiqi's bold proposal.
Some people think Shen Qiqi is too stupid, fifty yuan is not a small amount of money; others think Shen Qiqi is very smart, using this method can both motivate Wu Zhuanghan and save money.
Lu Qing stood beside Shen Qiqi, his eyes full of love.
He gently held Shen Qiqi's hand, giving her silent support.
Shen Qiqi felt Lu Qing's warmth, and her heart became more determined.
Wu Zhuanghan was silent for a moment, then took a deep drag on his pipe and said, "Half a month? That's too tight!"
Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows and said, "Time is tight and the price is high! Fifty dollars is not a small amount."
Wu Zhuanghan was still hesitating, and Shen Qiqi added fuel to the fire: "Wu Zhuanghan, think about it, fifty yuan, if you make five yuan a day, you have to work for ten days! In the next half month, if you work fast, you can earn more! Then, you can buy whatever you want and go wherever you want, isn't it wonderful?"
Wu Zhuanghan was attracted by the bright prospects described by Shen Qiqi. He seemed to have seen himself showing off in the village with fifty yuan in his hand.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Deal!"
The villagers immediately burst into warm applause, and they were all impressed by Shen Qiqi's wisdom.
Lu Qing also smiled. He was proud of Shen Qiqi.
Shen Qiqi looked at Wu Zhuanghan, a mysterious smile on her lips: "Then it's settled. Tomorrow morning, we'll start work!"
She turned to look at Lu Qing. Lu Qing seemed to understand something and nodded slightly. The two smiled at each other.
At this time, technician Chen hurried over, "Qiqi, I found some drawings..."
Shen Qiqi didn't intend to rely entirely on this "half-baked" technician Chen. She had already gone over the structural diagram of the canal in her mind several times.
She took out her own sketch and compared it with Technician Chen's research results. The two of them pointed and discussed the drawings enthusiastically by the canal.
The sunlight shone on them, highlighting their focused expressions, as if coated with a layer of sacred light.
