Chapter 125: I have a home behind me
Cheng Gong swept his tongue across his chapped lips.
He raised his hand and put the cigarette between his fingers back into his mouth. He squinted his eyes and took a deep puff. The strong smell of smoke passed through his trachea and entered his chest along with his breath.
Then he slowly sprayed it out from his mouth and nose.
Thick white smoke instantly swirled in front of him, blocking the man's furrowed brows and the gloomy thoughts in his eyes. In the end, the smell of smoke in his nose made him cough a few times.
"Hold!"
Cheng Gong spat out the tobacco crumbs on the tip of his tongue and swore softly.
He pinched out the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it casually on the ground. Then he closed his eyes and met Zhou Dongmeng's gaze, curling his lips and snorting: "You chestnut head, you are so fucking lucky!"
Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Boss Cheng, are you ready to cooperate with me?"
Cheng Gong crossed his legs, leaned back, and leaned his back against the back of the chair. His face was serious, and he said slowly: "How confident are I of cooperating with you?"
"100%!"
"Boy, don't brag in front of Big Brother! Tell me the truth, how successful are you?"
Zhou Dongmeng: "Just follow my instructions and you'll get 100% success!"
Hearing this, Cheng Gong let out a few low laughs from his hoarse voice, his shoulders shaking slightly, and he spoke again: "Yesterday afternoon, the migrant workers of Team 9 started a commotion over wages, and the city leaders took notice of this matter. Now the mayor's secretary has officially issued a written document to dismiss the engineering team."
Perhaps because he had been working non-stop for a day and a night, the man had already become numb.
So when he said this, Cheng Gong's rough face was expressionless, and he even reached out his hand to rummage through the pile of white papers on the table.
Then he tapped one of the pages with his fingertips.
Zhou Dong understood immediately, moved the dismissal document in front of him, lowered his eyes and read it carefully.
Cheng Gong was still feeling agitated. He couldn't help but open the drawer and take out the cigarette box. He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He then casually struck a match and lit the cigarette.
After a puff of smoke, the half-burned matchstick was thrown at the man's feet.
"If this is the current situation, how confident are we?"
He took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "Li Zi, I saw your ability yesterday. You were right. If I had asked those college students outside to plan it, it would have taken forever. Now this happened. I have suffered a setback in this project today!"
"But, as soon as you come in, you have to do half of the project. I feel no better than I do now!"
Zhou Dong put down the documents, his dark eyes gloomy: "Boss Cheng, you are a smart man, you should know how heavy the burden will be if I take over this lousy stall. Even if I make a wrong step, let alone you can keep half of the project, it would be good if you don't lose your reputation!"
"To be honest, if it weren't for the situation, I wouldn't take this risk with you. You can feed your whole family, but I'm different. I have a family behind me."
Cheng Gong folded his hands in front of him and ran his tongue across his cheek. "Okay! What are we going to do now?"
Zhou Dongmeng opened his thin lips and said, "Stop working!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Gong suddenly slammed the table and stood up. The chair behind him tilted backwards because of his sudden action and fell heavily to the ground with a bang.
Makes a particularly loud noise.
The foreman who had been following Cheng Gong was still some distance away from the reception room, but he heard it clearly and ran over quickly.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard Cheng Gong's loud and angry voice shouting:
"You want me to stop the work? You might as well let me die now! As long as I don't sign the dismissal letter, this project will never be stopped!"
