Two hours later, the security guard drove the car back and returned the car keys to me.
"Brother Hao, Captain Qian will be in the hospital for three days. He asked me to tell you that he's sorry."
I shook the car keys and said, "I hope he really repents this time."
"Really. Really."
At night, the construction team stopped working, and we security guards could also take a break. We locked the gate, sat in the gatehouse and chatted, and went out for patrol every two hours. Xiaosong and I came to my dad's shed, and I was still a little nervous, afraid that he would ask about what happened in the afternoon. But he didn't say anything, just asked me if I was tired from the work, if being a security guard was hard, etc. I answered that it was okay, after all, it was only the second day, and I didn't feel that tired. My dad said: "Just work hard and strive to be promoted to a foreman."
The foreman is the monitor of the class. There are four people in the class, including me. The monitor can lead four people and earn 100 yuan more than them. This is my father's expectation of me, which is not very high. I said, "I will work hard."
There were more than 20 workers in the shed, and everyone fell silent after I came in. I sat there uncomfortably, said hello to my father, said goodbye to Yu's father, and left the shed with Xiaosong.
The shed immediately became noisy. Someone said, "Old Wang, your son was so impressive this afternoon. He was able to gather more than a hundred people and beat up Captain Qian!" Wang's father said, "No, those people just happened to be there and helped him. Captain Qian always bullied him and he couldn't help it." Someone else said, "Don't be so modest. Your son is definitely capable and is doing very well out there!"
Yu's father stood up and said, "What does this have to do with you? Just shut up and have a good rest."
When Zhong Deshuang was not around, Yu's father spoke with authority, so everyone kept silent and turned to talk about other topics. When migrant workers gathered together, they talked most about women. One said that Xiaoli in the hair salon had big breasts, and the other said that Xiaohong in the massage parlor had a thin waist.
Father Wang sat on the bed, reading a newspaper. The newspaper was a little yellow, and it looked very old. It was written in black and white: "Gang fight, more than a hundred people dead!" Father Yu came over, took the newspaper and put it aside, saying: "Why do you keep reading it? It's been so many years?" Father Wang smiled bitterly and looked up at the light bulb on the top of the shed.
"Tell me about your son and my son." Yu's father said, "What do you think?"
"I don't want them to follow our old path." Wang's father said firmly: "This matter is non-negotiable."
"But I see that your son is already the leader of the Black Tiger Gang."
"Nonsense, the gang leader is Brother Nine, he's just a small fry."
"Do you really think that Ponyboy can call over a hundred gang members?"
"It just shows that Brother Nine is very considerate."
"You are pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth." Yu's father shook his head: "It's wrong for you to bury your head in the sand and pretend that you didn't see it."
The security work was still going on boringly. On the first day, we went to work at 8 o'clock, on the second day at 4 o'clock, and on the third day at midnight. This cycle seemed to have no end. Captain Qian was hospitalized. He was supposed to be there for three days, but he didn't come for several days. I think he was really scared. Ajiu's progress was very smooth, and he successfully won the sand transportation rights of the first construction team. We were familiar with this method, and the success rate was almost 100%. On the first day when our people transported earth in, it was Ajiu and Ye who led the first truck.
"Master Wang, is it okay without a driving license?" The two men laughed so hard that they fell backwards.
"No, get out of here. You must show your driving license. Otherwise you won't be allowed in." I was righteous and upright, like a competent security guard.
Xiaosong was so confused that he probably didn't understand the joke between us. In fact, some of our mud trucks were of dubious origin, so some of them did not have driving licenses. Of course, I let them go in the end, and I also said hello to the security guards in other classes. As long as the driver showed a tiger tattoo, they would be allowed to go. Without Captain Qian, I have become the sky of the security team, and all the security guards obey me. Gradually, I also learned that this security team was employed by a security company in Beiyuan City. Captain Qian was a formal employee, and we were all temporary security guards. Of course, the overall management was still under the management of this security company.
The security company sent people to deliver documents several times, and I received them every time. There was a captain named Chang, who was the captain of the squadron in the security company and the immediate superior of Captain Qian. I came several times, but I couldn't find Captain Qian every time. We all said that Captain Qian was ill and was staying in the hospital. During the days when Captain Qian was away, I also managed the security team in an orderly manner, and gradually became familiar with Captain Chang. Captain Chang left my phone number and asked me to say hello to him if I had any questions.
A few days later, the security company sent me a message that I was promoted to chief foreman. The chief foreman is more senior than the foreman, and is the chief monitor of all four teams. In terms of power and position, he is equivalent to the deputy captain. Although I look down on this position, my father is very happy. He tells everyone that his son is capable and even bought wine and food to entertain the workers in their shed. Seeing my father happy, I am naturally happy too, so I work harder. In the past, I ran back and forth between the school and the Black Tiger Gang, but now I run back and forth between the school and the construction site. The Black Tiger Gang is slowly getting on the right track. With Ye Zhan and Ajiu helping me, there will definitely be no problem. Just relying on the construction site, I can make a lot of money.
My only worry now is that other forces will also take a fancy to the construction site sand pulling area, and then compete with us. It's okay for ordinary small forces, but if the Black and White Yama comes to grab it, a bloody storm is inevitable.
On the day when my dad was entertaining his coworkers, I happened to be on the midnight shift. There was nothing to do at midnight, so I just locked the gate and arranged for security guards to patrol. So I also came to my dad's shed and had a drink with a bunch of uncles. I was a little drunk, and with Xiaosong's support, I went back to the gatehouse to sleep. When I arrived at the gate, I saw two security guards standing at the door.
