Chapter 42: I will follow you from now on
The two men walked forward for a while.
Lao Zhang nudged Zhou Dongmeng with his elbow again: "Is it true that people who have served in the military have a good sense of propriety?"
Zhou Dong raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lao Zhang: "When I first saw you hitting that guy, his face was covered in blood. My heart sank at that moment, thinking, my silly brother is going to kill someone."
"But after watching for a few seconds, I realized that your punches seemed very fierce, but they only made the opponent bleed without leaving any injuries. If someone else had hit him, he would have broken the foreman's nose!"
At this point, he raised his chin towards the man and said, "Tell me, brother, how did you do it?"
"When you have time in the future, teach me a few tricks."
Zhou Dong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Teach you? Forget it."
He pushed away Lao Zhang's hand on his shoulder and strode to where he had been working before.
Old Zhang yelled at Zhou Dongmeng twice.
Seeing that he didn't turn his head, I had to pick up my feet and chase after him. I watched the man put on gloves, picked up the hammer on the ground, and started to work.
Lao Zhang also put on his gloves. As he did so, he turned his head and said to the man beside him, "Brother Zhou, I used to think you were quiet and low-key, but I didn't expect you to be so bold and smart today!"
"Anyway, I admire you. I will follow you from now on."
Zhou Dongmeng paused slightly, glanced at Lao Zhang sideways, said nothing, and continued working.
But in his heart he was thinking about what had just happened.
I guess Mr. Zhang definitely didn't understand the relationship between the steel plant and this project.
Zhou Dongmeng has been building the railway here for more than half a year. The first wave of people in charge handled the subsidies and construction progress in a very planned way.
However, before the Spring Festival, the original persons in charge withdrew from the project one after another.
Replaced with the current foremen.
Zhou Dongmeng roughly guessed that this was an internal struggle for interests within their engineering team, which led to a major internal reshuffle.
Not long after the project was taken over by these people, problems with progress arose.
The steel factory is responsible for providing the steel used in the entire project. Someone comes every day to check the progress and produce the quantity of steel based on the progress.
The people from the steel factory have not come in the past few days...
It is very likely that they wanted to unilaterally reject the order. Building a railway is a huge project. If there is no steel supply and such a big problem occurs, the municipal government will definitely find out.
As for when it will be discovered, and whether the railway can continue to be built...
As for Zhou Dongmeng, no one knows.
He collected his thoughts, lowered his eyes, and watched the stone in front of him being smashed by his hammer. In the dark, the man began to plan a huge plan in his mind...

After lunch, Chen Xiang sat on the kang and began to count money.
Among the numerous cash coins, only the fifty-cent note given by Guan Yu was a big note, and the rest were only one or two cents.
She and Zhou's father have a clear division of labor.
One is responsible for sorting the one-cent coins, and the other is responsible for sorting the two-cent and three-cent coins.
They counted out one hundred coins of the same denomination, tied them into a roll with calendar paper and put them aside. They repeated this process for almost an hour and finally sorted out more than thirty rolls.
Adding the remaining banknotes, she calculated that it was exactly four dollars and seventy cents!
Chen Xiang was startled and quickly shouted, "Mom! Mom! Come quickly..."
Mother Zhou has been busy outside since dinner.
After packing the sweet potatoes for tomorrow's use and putting them in the car, she went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes. At this moment, she heard Xiaoxiang calling her, so she wiped her hands and pushed the door open to enter the house.
"What's the matter?"
