Zhao Wu fell silent. Xu Jianhong continued, "I heard from Zhao Wu that everyone here has worked on construction sites for many years. Now, I want to ask, who has the ability to find the right way? If they do, and can solve the current difficulties, I will directly reward them with 10,000 yuan."
After saying that, Xu Jianhong took out two thick stacks of banknotes from his briefcase and slammed them on the table.
Who wouldn't want to put two whole stacks of cash in their pocket? Many workers sucked their lips and were tempted to spend the money, but they didn't dare to. They could only suck on their cigarette butts silently and whisper to each other.
They were the ones who had been doing all the work at the construction site these days, and it was almost a month already. No one knew if they would have to pay them back this month's wages if the problem couldn't be solved. After discussing it for a long time, no one dared to stand up.
Xiaolong lit a cigarette for Boss Xu: "Boss Xu, you see, Zhao Wu is new to this, so it's inevitable that he won't understand things sometimes. I happen to have a friend who can introduce us to a skilled worker, but he'll have to come a month later, and there's also the issue of salary..."
After hearing this, Shengxia rolled her eyes. Isn't this just taking advantage of someone's misfortune? Why put it in such a nice way?
She was just about to tug at Qin Ge's clothes and tell him this when suddenly, she heard Qin Ge, who was squatting in front of her, speak.
"Boss Xu, I want to try."
Qin Ge stood up, and the workers who were squatting in a circle all looked up at the young man who spoke.
"Qin Ge, don't make trouble!" said the old master.
Xu Jianhong also looked at him, a young man, quite tall, probably around twenty years old.
"You? You've done this before?"
“I’ve done it in my hometown before.”
"Did you do it yourself or learn it from someone else?"
“I learned from others first, and then did it myself.”
Zhao Wu was already being scolded, and he didn't know what was wrong with Qin Ge: "Qin Ge, that's enough, don't talk nonsense, do you know how expensive the materials are now? We don't have enough, you..."
"There's enough left for me."
Qin Ge looked at the bricks and lime thrown over there, which were thrown there after being used up recently.
Xu Jianhong waved his hand: "Let him try, let him try."
"Boss Xu, but he doesn't understand either...!"
Zhao Wu wanted to say something else, but Xu Jianhong suddenly started cursing: "He doesn't understand, but you do? If this doesn't work out, let's all just go home. I'd rather close the construction site than continue to be a sucker!"
Even though Xu Jianhong didn't understand construction sites very well, he knew that if he kept waiting, the site would be abandoned. He saw several construction sites on the way here. If the trend continued like this, by the time all the construction sites were built, what would be left for him to do?
Soon the machine started up and everyone followed Qin Ge out of the construction site, including Xu Jianhong.
He was wearing a safety helmet and looking at the young man exposed to the sun, directing the people below to work in an orderly manner.
Qin Ge calculated the distance and size, and stopped when the bricks were about 50 centimeters high.
The old masters looked at him doubtfully: "Is this all that's needed?"
"That's enough."
All that’s left is to cover it with cement. As long as the height is roughly controlled, there will be no problem.
Shengxia only heard the rumbling sound of the machine inside and the flying dust. Shengxia didn't know whether Qin Ge succeeded after entering, but she was really worried about Qin Ge's safety.
She kept looking inside, and when she was about to pick up the safety helmet on the ground and go in, several workers ran out.
"Hurry up and push the rest in! That kid is really capable."
"I saw him put the steel bars in while the cement was drying. He's really brave."
"You have such sharp eyes! Hurry and push that car over here! Both of you! Stop looking and push two more cars out."
Xu Jianhong emerged, his head covered in dust. He lit a cigarette and then burst into laughter. His laughter was a stark contrast to the joy he'd shown during the meeting. Just watching the foundation being laid and the rebar being driven in was a relief. He grabbed his briefcase and took out a wad of cash, stuffing it into Qin Ge's arms.
"I, Xu Jianhong, keep my word! If you finish the job, I'll give you ten thousand yuan. Take it, hahahaha!"
Xu Jianhong, cigarette in hand, patted Qin Ge's shoulder. Sheng Xia didn't hear what Qin Ge said clearly, but she heard Boss Xu continue, "What's the point of talking about luck? It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat! Zhao Wu, you have to keep an eye on this guy for me. We'll still rely on him tomorrow! Hahahaha."
Xu Jianhong was really happy. He had never expected that today he could let this young man do the job that many people could not do. It was really a blind cat catching a dead mouse. If this real estate project was built, he might be able to make a lot of money.
After he left, the atmosphere on the construction site became a little strange. Zhao Wu's face looked as if he had died. He rushed forward and punched Qin Ge in the face: "You kid, you're hiding well enough!"
Qin Ge lowered his eyes: "I really am short of money, very short of it."
Qin Ge was hit hard by a punch, but he didn't fight back. Shengxia saw blood oozing from the corner of Qin Ge's mouth and knew how hard Zhao Wu had hit him.
She immediately became anxious and yelled at Zhao Wu: "Why the hell did you hit someone?"
Shengxia rarely gets so angry, but she is really anxious now, especially when she sees the blood at the corner of Qin Ge's mouth, which is like a nail piercing her eyes. He is hers, she can beat him and scold him, but no one else can touch him.
