The site manager noticed Gao Yang staring intently at the recruitment booth and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong, Mr. Gao? Is something the problem?"
Gao Yang shook his head: "Nothing, I think I saw someone I know?"
The site manager glanced at the recruitment office.
A friend of Mr. Gao? Coming to the construction site to carry bricks? You must be joking.
"You must be mistaken?" he said.
Gao Yang searched around but couldn't find the person, and he also thought so.
"Probably." He nodded.
After saying that, he looked at the person in charge of the construction site and said, "Let's go inside and take a look."
"Okay." The site manager nodded, then turned around and had someone bring two safety helmets for Gao Yang and his assistant to put on. He then led the group to inspect the construction site.
At this moment, Xing Zhaozhao, nestled among a group of large men, finally saw the foreman.
"Name."
"Xing Zhaozhao."
"age."
28.
The foreman looked at her petite figure with surprise: "You're 28?"
Xing Zhaozhao nodded: "I'm already a mother of three."
"All of this is heavy physical labor. Can you handle it?" the foreman asked.
“Of course, I’m used to doing farm work at home, I’m very strong,” Xing Zhaozhao said.
The foreman chuckled, finding it hard to believe that a woman, even if she was used to farm work and had great strength, could compare to a grown man.
However, judging from her clothes, her family situation probably wasn't very good, so he decided to give her the chance: "Alright then, let's try it out first..."
"Thank you," Xing Zhaozhao said gratefully, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Can I ask you one more question?"
"Go ahead," the foreman said.
"Do I have to work a full day to get 200? I have three kids waiting for me to come home at noon to cook for them. I can only work for two hours at most," Xing Zhaozhao said.
The contractor was speechless: "Young lady, are you kidding me? You want 200 yuan for two hours?"
Xing Zhaozhao pointed to the mountain of bricks and sandbags next to her and asked, "If I help you move all of that in two hours, can I give you 200?"
The contractor felt he had been tricked and laughed angrily: "If you can move all of this in two hours, I'll give you 3,000, not just 200."
Xing Zhaozhao's eyes immediately lit up, and she slammed her hand on the table: "Okay, it's settled then."
After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the small mountain of bricks.
The foreman was dumbfounded as he watched Xing Zhaozhao effortlessly lift the entire pile of bricks, neatly stacked on the wooden frame and waiting for the forklift to move them, as if she were carrying a plate: "..."
"Where are we moving these?" Xing Zhaozhao asked the contractor, holding up the bricks.
The foreman subconsciously raised his hand and pointed.
Then I watched helplessly as she carried the bricks and jogged along, overtaking the forklifts that were transporting bricks.
Forklift: "..."
Someone actually tried to steal its job?
Foreman: "..."
No, wait a minute. He's hiring someone to move bricks, but he just wants you to stack the bricks up so the forklift can come and move them. He doesn't really want you to move them by hand. But if you move them by hand, it'll be a lot harder than if you used a forklift.
The foreman turned and glared at the people who were still standing there dumbfounded, and roared, "What are you all standing there for? Stack them up! If there aren't enough, we'll take more."
The other bricklayers immediately sprang into action in a flurry of activity.
In just over an hour, or even less than two hours, Xing Zhaozhao had finished moving all the bricks that needed to be moved at the construction site that day.
The contractor readily counted out 3,000 yuan for her and gave her a thumbs up, saying, "You're amazing, young lady."
"You're too kind, brother." Xing Zhaozhao happily accepted the money, counted it, and found that not a single bill was missing.
"By the way, brother, is there any work tomorrow? If so, I'll come again." She looked at the foreman and asked.
Foreman: "..."
Is it addictive?
The foreman shook his head: "No more, no more. How could there be work like this every day?"
Xing Zhaozhao said with a regretful look, "Oh, I see. Then I'll come back to check back in a while."
She carefully put the money into her pocket, and after calculating, it seemed that the things she wanted to buy this time were not enough. She would have to find other jobs to make money.
"Big brother's gone." She waved to the foreman and left quickly, heading off to do some big shopping and then go home, wondering if Xiao Hongling had woken up yet.
At this moment, Gao Yang, accompanied by the site manager, took a careful tour of the construction site and then came out as well.
"...Let's proceed at the current pace. However, if the weather gets colder, we'll have to stop work. Ensuring the quality of the project is our top priority," Gao Yang said to the site manager.
The site manager nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Gao."
As they were talking, they noticed that the recruitment area, which had been bustling just moments before, was now mostly deserted, with no one working there anymore; instead, people were chatting animatedly.
It's one thing to slack off at other times, but today the big boss is here, and everyone's watching.
The site manager's face darkened, and he snapped, "What are you all standing there for? Aren't you supposed to be working?"
"Yes, it's all done," the foreman replied.
The site manager was furious when he heard this.
Two large truckloads of bricks were unloaded this morning, and you're already done? Who are you trying to fool?
"Finished? Do you think I'm stupid?" The site manager stormed over, pointing to the spot where bricks had just been unloaded. "Just now..."
Before he could finish speaking, the construction site manager saw that the pile of bricks that had been like a small mountain was now empty. He seemed to have been suddenly choked and instantly lost his voice.
He made two hoarse sounds in his throat before finally finding his voice and asked, "Where are the bricks that were just unloaded this morning?"
The foreman smiled and said, "It's all moved."
"All moved? How is that possible?" the site manager exclaimed in surprise.
"Really, a petite-looking girl just came in—no, wait, a young woman, a mother of three—and she's incredibly strong. In less than two hours, she helped us move all those bricks," the foreman said.
The site manager was still somewhat incredulous: "..."
Gao Yang's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly went over to ask, "Is her surname Xing?"
Not only the foreman, but also the site manager looked over in surprise: "Does he know Boss Gao?"
Gao Yang nodded: "We met once before. When we went up the mountain to hunt wild boar, if she hadn't appeared in time to save my nephew, something bad would have happened. Unfortunately, she left soon after, and I didn't have time to thank her properly."
The construction site manager exclaimed in surprise, "She actually saved the young master of the Gao family?"
"Hmm," Gao Yang responded, then looked at the foreman and asked, "Where is she?"
"They took the money and left long ago," the contractor said.
Gao Yang looked regretful.
I missed it again.
"But she asked and said she'll probably come back if there's work to be done in the future," the contractor said.
Gao Yang looked over with delight: "Please let me know when you need to see the person."
The foreman nodded: "Okay, Mr. Gao."
As they were talking, Gao Yang's phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was another assistant calling.
"Hello?"
"The old man has arrived, Mr. Gao," the assistant said.
Gao Yang's expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "Understood, I'll go back now."
"The old man needs to go to the nursing home first," the assistant said.
Gao Yang frowned, paused for a moment, and said, "I understand, I'll be right there."
After saying that, he turned around and immediately got into the car.
"Go to Zhaohong Sanatorium."
