"Hmm, I think we could build some houses for you. After all, you're coming with two thousand people, and a small place definitely won't be enough to house them all!"
Lu Yuan found it somewhat amusing that the other party wasn't planning to give up the villa. He didn't intend to live in that villa; who knew when another earthquake might occur? He just wanted the other party to keep fulfilling his wishes, but only now had the other party finally expressed willingness to build some houses.
"Haha, thank you very much, Boss Tan. I'll take people back first thing tomorrow morning and arrange for them to move in as soon as possible. I hope you can get the house ready quickly, Boss Tan!"
Tan Qing was cursing inwardly, but outwardly he cheerfully said, "Don't worry, don't worry, leave this to me. I'll make sure everyone gets the house sorted out as soon as possible!"
Lu Yuan then generously and politely invited Tan Qing to have some beef with him. Tan Qing didn't stand on ceremony at all, casually found a stool and sat down. He started eating heartily, making everyone around him swallow their saliva and curse Tan Qing in their hearts.
Early the next morning, Lu Yuan led his men back to his camp and told everyone about his conversation with Tan Qing. Everyone agreed wholeheartedly, as living here was far too dangerous. There was a volcano on the other side of the rift valley that was constantly erupting lava. Every few days, the group had to take refuge, and there were always casualties.
Now that they have new places to live, everyone is very happy. However, some people are still reluctant to leave. After all, they have put a lot of effort into this place, and they are reluctant to leave. Moreover, their houses have already been built.
So Lu Yuan handed the matter over to Chen Bin, who selected two thousand men to lead and disperse to the other side with him.
Two months later, Lu Yuan had been living in Tan Qing's camp for a long time. The people in Tan Qing's camp were always very envious when they saw Lu Yuan's people cooking.
When they saw that Lu Yuan could eat meat every now and then, they all expressed their desire to join Lu Yuan's camp. However, Lu Yuan's camp was very strictly guarded and had no intention of accepting any more of their people.
At that time, more than ten acres of land nearby had been planted with various crops. Both sides sent people to manage and operate the land. Lu Yuan was in charge of the land, while Tan Qing sent his younger brother, Tan Lin.
These past few days, Lu Yuan was resting at the camp when he suddenly saw Chen Bin storm into his office with a furious expression.
"It's outrageous! Tan Lin and his gang are such slackers. They take leave all the time, and every time there's a heavy workload, they run away with their men. They just refuse to do it and leave us with this kind of work. They're obviously treating us like suckers! Mr. Lu, no offense, but why don't we retreat? If it really comes down to it, let's just leave. We'll harvest all the crops and then not give them to them!"
Seeing Chen Bin's furious expression, Lu Yuan was a little suspicious. He didn't understand what the other party meant. Was it just because a few people were slacking off?
"Isn't it just a simple case of slacking off? It's not a big deal. Anyway, the division of labor is clear. If they don't do it, we can just do our own. If they don't get any experts in the end, they won't want us to suffer!" Lu Yuan said with a relaxed expression.
Chen Bin continued angrily, "If it were just about being lazy, I wouldn't be so angry. The main problem is that this person's hands aren't clean either. He often sneaks into our kitchen to steal food. A while ago, 100 jin of the 500 jin of pork we brought over from there was stolen. I asked everyone here and they said they hadn't seen it. I suspect that Tan Lin and his men did it, although I don't have any evidence!"
When Lu Yuan heard this, he immediately frowned. The matter of the stolen meat last time had not been resolved yet, and he did not expect that another hundred pounds would be stolen this time. If this continued for a long time, he really would not be able to live a normal life.
"Alright, then you come with me right now to find this Tan Qing and ask him if he's any good as a boss. If he's not, we should get out of here and find someone else!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan led Chen Bin toward the villa.
After knocking on the door, a maid quickly came out, opened the door, and upon seeing Lu Yuan, immediately smiled.
"Is your CEO Tan here? I need to talk to him about something!" Lu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and bypassed the maid, giving the room a broad look.
The other person quickly went over and pointed to the small room next door, saying, "President Tan is discussing something with Vice President Tan!"
"You mean Tan Lin is here too?"
The maid nodded.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was about to go forward and argue with him when he suddenly saw the door open. Tan Lin came out first, and when he saw Lu Yuan, he gave an awkward smile. At this moment, a tall and thin young man appeared behind him, who was none other than Tan Lin.
Just as Tan Qing was about to speak, Tan Lin behind him looked at Lu Yuan with disdain: "Oh, it's President Lu. Why aren't you working properly in broad daylight? Are you going to slack off again? What do you want with my brother!"
A hint of displeasure flashed across Tan Qing's face, expressing his strong dissatisfaction with Lu Yuan's sudden visit.
Lu Yuan showed no politeness to the other party, glaring at him before turning to Tan Qing and saying, "Tan Lin has a group of men who are idle and irresponsible all day long. The crops in the fields are almost abandoned. Are you aware of this?"
Tan Qing gave an awkward smile, then glared at Tan Lin before smiling obsequiously at Lu Yuan and saying, "Haha, Mr. Lu, don't be angry. My brother is just too young; he likes to play around with young people, that's how it is! I've already given him a good talking-to, so please don't take it to heart!"
Lu Yuan snorted and continued, "You can teach this a lesson yourself, but something is missing from our camp again. Last time you said you were going to find the thief, but you haven't given me any reply. This time another hundred jin have gone missing. What do you want to say? My men said this is related to your brother!"
After listening, Tan Lin's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he said fiercely, "You're blaming me for losing something? What kind of logic is that? Who said that? Step forward and let me see. I want to see the person who accuses me of stealing without any evidence. I think you're just here to cause trouble!"
Chen Bin, who was standing to the side, stepped forward, his neck stiff, and pointed at Tan Lin, saying, "Hmph, who doesn't know that you were the one who led the men to do this? We operate on a three-day shift system here, and things always go missing during your shift. Who else could it be but you!"
Upon hearing Chen Bin's words, a fierce glint flashed in Tan Lin's eyes, but Tan Qing firmly held him back.
"Brother Lu, there might be a misunderstanding. My brother wouldn't do such a thing. Don't worry, give me two more days, and I'll definitely give you an explanation about the thief!"
