Zheng Ping and the others couldn't help but chuckle to themselves upon hearing this. They had done the same job a few days ago, and they never expected to have to do it again today.
A little over an hour later, a truck brought all the materials over, and under their direction, everyone started building the prefabricated houses.
They weren't working particularly fast or slow. Zheng Ping and the others were just following the crowd. It wasn't their own stuff, so who would work their ass off for them?
Only Lin Nian seemed very diligent, running around here and there, which made the two of them nod in approval.
The tall, thin man couldn't help but say to the slightly chubby man, "Zhang Lin, look at this young man, he's really good. Unlike others who dawdle at work, he's truly diligent."
"Of course, especially Wang Bing, did you see him? He's quite strong. What's his name again?" the slightly chubby man recalled.
"Lin Nian, the one Chen Feng didn't want, saying he was too young to work. Is that what he means by not being able to work? What's the difference between him and the men?"
“No wonder Chen Feng is blind; he let someone like this go. We can train them properly; this is the first step in infiltrating the village.” The tall, thin man, Wang Bing, grinned and began to plan.
Lin Nian was so diligent because he saw others dawdling and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He felt that if he were more diligent and acted more naively, he could very well be chosen as a team leader or something, and infiltrate the enemy's ranks.
To everyone's surprise, he was secretly chosen before noon.
By evening, a large prefabricated house was completed. Their house wasn't as big as Chen Feng's; it was mainly to provide a place for the machinery. Everything else was fine.
The day passed quickly, and before Wang Bing and his group had gone very far, Chen Feng already knew what they had done that day.
Chen Feng decided to ignore them for now and wait until his machine arrived.
The next morning, the machine was brought over, and Zheng Ping and the others were dumbfounded.
This machine is much bigger than Chen Feng's; it looks incredibly powerful.
"Holy crap, this is huge! How much does it cost?" Yin Xing couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph, never seen anything this big before, have you? What's Chen Feng's crappy compared to this? This machine is the mainstream now."
"Twenty-four million, that's more than ten times more efficient than Chen Feng's." Wang Bing proudly boasted, looking at the astonished faces of the villagers.
"Wow, 24 million, that really looks good," Zheng Ping exclaimed.
This thing is no longer movable; a crane follows behind it and lifts the machine directly into the designated position.
"Alright, everyone come over and get your tools and safety helmets. Let's get ready to work," Wang Bing called out to everyone. Zhang Lin went to adjust the machine.
By noon, the two of them had eaten their fill of bread and had become somewhat familiar with everyone, so Wang Bing called Lin Nian over.
"Lin Nian, I don't know where the supermarket is. Could you go and buy us a cup of instant noodles and boil some water? I'll pay you for the water if you want," Wang Bing suggested.
"Hey, what's the money? Boiling some water doesn't cost anything. You two wait here, I'll go buy some for you." Lin Nian readily agreed and rode his electric bike home.
This is his newly purchased electric scooter, which is very convenient for getting around.
"Thanks." Wang Bing waved to Lin Nian's back, but Lin Nian didn't turn around. He simply waved back to indicate that it was nothing.
“See? There are still more good people among the masses,” Wang Bing said to Zhang Lin beside him.
"Of course, Chen Feng's gang is the worst. When Sister Jing was applying for the job, she made a point of checking each one, just in case one of Chen Feng's people had infiltrated."
"Sure enough, Chen Feng and his gang had already gone into hiding. They're just a bunch of cowards. If they stood in front of me now, I would definitely recognize them!"
Zhang Lin vividly remembers those people from that day; he could recognize them even if they only showed half their faces.
When Lin Nian ran home, he made a special call to Chen Feng.
"Brother, I'm making instant noodles for them now, should I add some seasoning?"
Chen Feng burst out laughing when he heard this. How come Lin Nian took on this job?
"No need, just soak it normally. It's not time to make a move yet," Chen Feng gestured.
Upon hearing this, Lin Nian put away the laxative in his hand and delivered the two bowls of plain noodles to Wang Bing and the other person.
When they saw that Lin Nian had already prepared the noodles, they thanked him profusely.
"You're welcome. Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good later," Lin Nian said, rubbing his hands together.
So, when it was time to leave work in the evening, nothing happened. Wang Bing put all the tools into the prefab house and locked the door.
After confirming that everything was correct, the two drove away.
"No, is that all Chen Feng is capable of?"
"To be honest, I was on tenterhooks all day, afraid that someone would come and cause trouble, and this is what happened?" Wang Bing said, puzzled.
"Hey, he's just all talk. We've already started mining and recruited all the people, what else can he do?"
"A thug is a thug. He only has a few tricks up his sleeve, and he's done with them. Let me tell you, you can't fight city hall. Chen Feng always acts all high and mighty, but now look at you, you're watching us mine obediently."
Zhang Lin scoffed, speaking with considerable disdain.
"That's right, what's done is done. Chen Feng can only watch helplessly now. It's laughable that he thought he could fight us. He's trash." Wang Bing shook his head and leisurely drove into the city.
Just after getting off work, Zheng Ping and his group arrived at Chen Feng's home to report on the situation.
"Fengzi, holy crap, their machine is huge, worth 24 million, that's awesome!" Zheng Ping said enviously.
“Indeed, this guy is really rich and powerful. He spends so much money in one go, and that thing is also very efficient, more than ten times faster than ours.” Yin Xing also spoke up from the side.
“I know that machine. He wasn’t exaggerating; it really is that price.” Chen Jianguo nodded as he looked at the photos they had taken.
"That's great, really nice!" Chen Feng said, looking at the photo with obvious envy.
"Then what do we do? Just watch him continue like this? Or should we smash his machines tonight and see how many he can buy?" Lin Nian said fiercely.
"What are you saying? Why did you smash my machine?" Chen Feng said, immediately dissatisfied.
"ah?"
Lin Nian was completely stunned when he heard this. What do you mean, "It's yours now?"
"Hmph, that machine will be mine sooner or later. Such a good machine, isn't it a waste for Xu Guang, that bastard?" Chen Feng had already set his sights on the machine.
"Moreover, the machine cannot be moved. It costs 24 million. If it breaks down, it will be a big deal. If someone is arrested, they could be sentenced to many years in prison."
"Where did you put all your tools?" Chen Feng asked.
“They’re all in the temporary housing; Wang Bing has the key,” Lin Nian replied.
