"Then don't blame me for being impolite. Once I catch him, I'll let him squat in there for a while. Don't even think about pulling him out. Of course, you won't be able to pull him out anyway."
Xiahou threatened.
"You can arrest whoever you want, it's none of my business. If you're so powerful, just execute them all." Chen Feng even tried to persuade Xiahou instead.
Seeing that Chen Feng was unresponsive and kept making sarcastic remarks, Xiahou was furious and didn't want to say another word to him.
He was afraid that if he continued talking, his blood pressure would rise.
"Alright, I'm leaving if there's nothing else. Chatting with you guys is less productive than going home and feeding the pigs; they're not nutritious at all," Chen Feng said as he stood up, taking a deep drag on his cigarette.
"Chen Feng, we'll see." Xiahou raised his head upon hearing this, his face sinister.
"What the hell are you looking at? I've been watching you for over a month, and you're still the same as before."
Chen Feng scoffed at these words and casually stubbed out his cigarette on the table next to the ashtray.
With a "bang," Chen Feng kicked the door open and left as casually as he had arrived.
Only Xu Guang and Xiahou were left, both burning with rage.
"This kid is too arrogant, damn it, he really doesn't take us seriously at all!" Xu Guang slammed his hand on the sofa, furious.
Xiahou looked at the tabletop, which was blackened by smoke, took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Chen Feng, there will come a day when you'll be begging me on your knees!"
After the two calmed down a bit, Xu Guang said, "The most urgent thing now is to start work. Finding people on-site won't work. I reckon if we go there again, Chen Feng will pull the same trick again."
"If that doesn't work, try video interviewing or applying directly, though it's less efficient."
“Alright, go arrange for someone to handle it. It’s fine if it’s slow, as long as you can avoid Chen Feng.” Xiahou nodded and said.
"Hmm, the machine will arrive in two days. Let's see what tricks Chen Feng can pull now." Xu Guang snorted and prepared to go back to the hotel to find Sister Jing and have her conduct the interview.
Although she would never go to the village now, surely the video shouldn't be a problem.
Chen Feng returned home, and around the afternoon, he saw the notification in the group chat.
They said the interview has been changed to a video call; those interested can add them on WeChat.
Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh when he saw the message. They were really pushed to the limit, that's why they're resorting to this.
He thought for a moment and then called Lin Nian and the others over.
Soon, Li Chunkai, Lin Nian, and Zheng Ping arrived at Chen Feng's house.
"You've seen the messages in the group, right?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.
“I see. What should we do? We can’t just go door-to-door causing trouble. Maybe we should just cut off the internet for the whole village.” Li Chunlai thought for a moment and said fiercely.
"You've got to be something else. I think you have the potential to be a terrorist. Are you planning a terrorist attack here?" Chen Feng was so angry that he laughed.
If you really cut off the internet cables for the whole village, that would be a big problem. The villagers would definitely be unhappy, and that would incite public anger.
"Then what should we do? Just watch them recruit?" Lin Nian said, feeling somewhat troubled.
It's really frustrating to watch the enemy grow stronger little by little, especially since they have no way to counter it.
"I called you here to apply for the job. Sneak in secretly. If even one of you can get in, we'll have succeeded. Understand?" Chen Feng said to the crowd.
"Ah, I see, you want us to be spies, right?" Zheng Ping said, realizing what was happening.
"That's about right, that's the gist of it. Take your phone, add me on WeChat, and apply for the job right here," Chen Feng said, waving his hand.
Upon hearing this, everyone took out their phones and started adding each other on WeChat, preparing to conduct interviews one by one.
When Chen Feng saw that Li Chunlai and the others were also adding people, he quickly stopped them, saying, "You guys shouldn't add people. You just threw feces on someone, and now you want to apply for a job? Do you think they won't be able to find you?"
“That makes sense. So, what should we do?” Li Chunlai nodded in agreement and put down his phone to ask.
"Actually, there's nothing for you guys to do today, and I didn't call you. Why are you here?" Chen Feng asked, shrugging his shoulders, puzzled.
"Old Zheng asked me to come," Li Chunlai said innocently, pointing at Zheng Ping.
Zheng Ping looked up, blinked, and said somewhat awkwardly, "I thought there was going to be a big operation today, so I called Brother Chunlai. Turns out I was just being paranoid."
“Your brother Chunlai can’t handle this kind of small job. We should save the big guns for last,” Chen Feng joked.
Upon hearing this, Li Chunlai scratched his head and grinned, thinking that this didn't sound like a compliment.
Everyone then added each other on WeChat, submitted basic personal information, and began the video interview.
"Chen Feng? I wanted to go before, but he thought I was too young and said I couldn't do the work and would just be getting paid for nothing, so he didn't hire me." Lin Nian said to the video with some grievance.
“Yes, Chen Feng doesn’t have a good reputation in the village. He’s a petty thief and all sorts of shady characters. We’re all very resentful of him,” Lin Nian nodded.
Chen Feng looked at Lin Nian in the corner and couldn't help but pinch his waist. "Hey kid, it's just an interview, why are you smearing me?"
Besides, you're always involved in petty theft, and you seem to enjoy your food just the way you do.
"Lin Nian looks honest, but he's actually quite clever," Xia Yingying chuckled and whispered in Chen Feng's ear.
"He's not stupid, he's just honest. Actually, he's not honest at all, he's just cunning," Chen Feng corrected.
"Okay, okay, thank you for this opportunity, leader. I will definitely report for duty tomorrow." Lin Nian nodded repeatedly, and as soon as he hung up the video call, he ran over with a grin.
"Brother Feng, all done!"
"You're really good at talking nonsense," Chen Feng said.
The two waited there for a while, and soon Zheng Ping and the others all returned.
"All done, approved."
"All done. We'll meet tomorrow morning."
Chen Feng glanced at them and realized that there were no ones who hadn't passed; they had all been recruited.
"Alright, now they're all our people. Let's see what he does." Chen Feng himself didn't expect this outcome. He thought that getting one in would be enough, but who would have thought that they would all be in.
The next day, Xu Guang's two male employees came to the mine, but Jing and the others did not come with them.
They were also scared. The trauma from the last time hadn't faded yet, and if it happened again, the nightmare would haunt them for life.
One of the tall, thin men was calling roll, holding the list compiled yesterday.
"Zheng Ping."
"Xu Xiaodong".
"Lin Nian..."
As he was taking attendance, another slightly overweight man subconsciously patted each of them on the body, just in case one of them was being dirty again.
After searching for a while, he found nothing, and the slightly chubby man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, as long as there are no problems, the steel plates will be delivered soon. Everyone can start building the prefabricated houses. The machines will arrive tomorrow, and we can start working."
