Chapter 128: Bringing the Project Back to Life

It was already late last night when he finished his work.

After returning here, Cheng Gong sat there without closing his eyes the whole night, thinking carefully about what Li Zitou said yesterday.

Indeed, he is right!

He could have come this far thanks to his good luck and sharp insight, but apart from these, he forgot that there was something else that was most important.

That is...

ability!

The reason why Cheng Gong was so sensitive and resentful about Zhou Dongmeng's decision to take over half of the project was because before this, the railway project was actually carried out by two groups of people working together.

But he was greedy and wanted to take over the entire project for himself.

The result is predictable. It was only after he took on the project on his own that he realized he didn’t have the ability to do it…

After going around in circles, we finally gave up half of the project!

Cheng Gong thought a lot.

He smoked one cigarette after another.

Haozi often said that every job has its own challenges. He knew how to run a dance hall, but he didn't know how to deal with so many difficult issues in engineering.

The foremen, accountants, and drivers around him were all brought over from the dance hall.

They are all very eloquent, but when it comes to planning, they all become dumb and have no idea at all...

Cheng Gong let out a long sigh and his eyes fell on the chestnut-headed man opposite him.

What can he do?

Bring the project back to life?

At this time, Zhou Dongmeng stopped writing, tightened the pen cap, raised his head and looked over: "I've finished writing, remember to meet at the steel factory gate tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he stood up and handed one of the two plans to the man.

Cheng Gong also stood up quickly and asked in confusion, "It's finished so quickly? What should we do now? Stop working?"

Zhou Dongmeng hesitated for a second and replied in a deep voice: "Let's call all the workers together for a meeting today and inform them first that they will have a week off! During this period, their salaries will be paid as usual."

"Second, starting from the first of next month, the daily wage will be changed to a monthly salary. On the 10th of each month, you will go to the Finance Department to collect your salary. If anyone doesn't accept it, we will just settle their salary and let them go!"

The first day of work after returning from vacation is the first day, so workers must decide whether to stay or leave today.

Cheng Gong blinked his eyes: "Li Zi, what does this mean?"

Zhou Dong pursed his lips and explained: "Using the monthly salary method can reduce the turnover of workers. Workers who cannot accept this condition are also the kind of people who are unstable and can't stay for long! Staying will also disrupt the morale of the troops!"

The man understood: "I understand!"

Zhou Dongmeng said again: "Boss Cheng, I still need every record of the compensation paid to the villagers. Shouldn't you have done the accounting?"

"Yes! I'll ask someone to bring it to you."

Cheng Gong walked to the door with a cigarette in his mouth, opened the door and shouted a few times outside: "Rat? Rat?"

"Boss, looking for me?"

The foreman who had just been fired poked his head out of another shed.

Cheng Gong frowned and shouted, "Go and call the accountant over to me! Hurry up, don't dawdle!"

The foreman Haozi came closer and took a look into the guest room.

I just happened to catch a glimpse of Zhou Dongmeng standing upright beside the table, his eyes slightly lowered, looking at the documents in his hands.

He hummed inwardly.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Dongmeng beat him up and didn't pay any price, but instead he got promoted to a higher position!

Get in touch with the boss...

The foreman narrowed his eyes. He looked tall and strong, decent and upright. But now looking at him like this, he is not a good guy!

Boy, you wait!

Let's see how long you can keep jumping! He has been around for so long, he can't let a kid beat him up for nothing!

Haozi gave up his evil thoughts, turned around and left to find the accountant.

The moment the foreman turned around, Zhou Dongmeng in the room suddenly raised his eyes, and his sharp gaze fell directly on the foreman's back through the window. Watching him walk away little by little, a hint of thought flashed across the man's dark and deep eyes.

The next second, Zhou Dongmeng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.

It seems that no one's thoughts can escape his grasp...
