But they only dared to complain privately: "Now that we can finally start construction, why are there power outages every day? Isn't this delaying work?"
But it was too late, it was dark, and there was no way to repair it, so Shengxia went to find Qin Ge at the construction site.
A few people were shouting while playing cards outside. Qin Ge scooped two buckets of water from the bucket and poured it over his head. The grayish-white water flowed down his muscles from his shoulders and back, and sank into the green waistband of his trousers hanging on his hips.
He usually carries Shengxia on his back when taking a bath. Maybe he was too tired today and didn't notice Shengxia coming over. Shengxia blushed when she saw him, swallowed her saliva, and felt a little hot.
Shengxia turned around and went back, no longer looking at Qin Ge.
Unexpectedly, Qin Ge came over to hug her without drying her.
"What are you doing?"
Shengxia seemed to explode when she touched her. Qin Ge, who had just gone to get the hot water he had just boiled, was also startled by Qin Ge and frowned: "Stop making trouble, the water is boiling, come over and wipe your face."
Although it was summer, Qin Ge was still afraid that Shengxia would catch a cold, so he just wrung out a hot towel and wiped Shengxia's face, and Shengxia lay on her back.
“There have been power outages lately…”
"I guess they couldn't agree on a price with the village electrician, so the power was cut off."
Qin Ge didn't say who it was, but Sheng Xia knew it too. She tilted her head and said, "I think Zhao Wu did it on purpose! You know, last time I saw someone from the village come to talk to him, I heard him tell them that he was the person in charge of the construction site and told that person to only look for him if he had any problems."
Sheng Xia tilted her head and looked at Qin Ge: "He's so annoying. If you ask me, is he too short-sighted? Or is it that you're amazing? You just gave me 10,000 yuan in one go! I've counted it several times!"
Shengxia's mouth was grinning from ear to ear these days. Not only did she pay the tuition, but she also had a lot more. This was the 1990s, and there were many people with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan. She knew where Qin Ge kept his money, and she had to take it out and count it every day before she felt at ease.
“Oh, I haven’t counted today…”
Just as Shengxia was about to get up, Qin Ge held down her head.
"Don't move."
Qin Ge's fingers happened to stroke her hair: "Let him fix the electricity first. I'll take you shopping tomorrow to buy things you need for school."
After sleeping all night, before dawn, Qin Ge took Shengxia out by car.
"Why do you carry all your money with you? It's so unsafe. You're going to run into so many people on the road. What if something gets stolen?"
Qin Ge patted her head: "Take it with you, don't worry."
Qin Ge put all the ten thousand yuan on his shoulders, wrapped it in newspaper and placed it inside his coat. Shengxia could feel it. She thought Qin Ge was making a fuss: "It's okay, we don't need to buy anything. I have enough things. As long as it's enough for tuition, it will be fine. We have to make two trips and pay for the travel expenses."
Arriving at the city's large shopping mall, Shengxia sighed inwardly, "Hai City is indeed worthy of being an international metropolis. The shopping malls in the 1990s were already so luxurious. Entering here, Shengxia felt like a duck in water, just like entering her own home."
Any piece of clothing would cost hundreds of dollars. Shengxia thought that Qin Ge had just risked his life and only earned 10,000 yuan. She couldn't spend it recklessly and had to save it for Qin Ge as start-up capital.
He turned to look at Qin Ge and said, "I don't like any of the clothes here. Let's go back. I can buy my things there."
Qin Ge knew that Shengxia was saving money for him, so he touched her head with heartache and secretly made up his mind that he must work harder to give Shengxia a better life.
Just as I was thinking about this, someone suddenly patted my shoulder from behind. It was Xu Jianhong.
"Qin Ge? Why are you here? The construction site isn't open today?"
"The power is out and the machine can't be used. 0"
"Damn it, I knew that Zhao Wu was an idiot!"
Next to Xu Jianhong is his wife. He earned money at the construction site and brought his wife shopping.
"Boss Xu."
Qin Ge suddenly raised his head and said, "Boss Xu, do you have time now? I want to discuss something with you."
Xu Jianhong is about to return to Beijing. He has a good impression of the young man Qin Ge. The reason why he has a good impression of him is that.
After all, he is also a boss, so he knows what is going on between Qin Ge and Zhao Wu without thinking. It is normal for young people to be a little smart and value money. As long as it can make him money, he doesn't care about anything else.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Qin Ge said directly, "Boss Xu, I worked on a construction site in my hometown for a while before, and I've roughly calculated the profits on your site these past few days. Although I don't know how much Zhao Wu has promised you, if you hand the construction site over to me, I guarantee that the final profit will be twice as high as Zhao Wu's."
"Twice as high?" Xu Jianhong laughed. "Young man, aren't you being too arrogant? Zhao Wu used to be a foreman. He's not stupid."
"But he doesn't understand the ins and outs of construction, otherwise the foundation issue wouldn't have taken so long to resolve."
Xu Jianhong became interested after hearing this. He had heard from the bosses working on the construction sites that there were many hidden twists and turns, and he had been worried about it recently: "So you understand all this?"
Qin Ge said, "I understand."
Xu Jianhong looked at the young man in front of him. Last time at the construction site, he was covered in dust and dirt, so he didn't see him clearly. Now that he was clean, he felt that this young man didn't look like someone who could work on a construction site.
"But why should I trust you? Although Zhao Wuren is a little dumb, he has experience and can command his subordinates. We will also share the profits, and he only wants 30%. Besides, you said you can double it? Then what are your conditions? If the price you ask for is too high, then I'd better play it safe..."
"Zhao Wu wants 30%, and I only want 10%."
"One percent?"
Xu Jianhong was very surprised."
"Yes, 10%, but for future buildings, I'll take 1/1000 of the gross revenue."
When Qin Ge said this, Xu Jianhong began to really hesitate. He originally thought that Qin Ge was too young to bear this burden, but now after hearing what he said, this young man really knew a lot about these things.
Unlike Zhao Wu, who used to be a casual worker, this was her first time to take charge of such matters as contracting a construction site, and she knew nothing about it.
Xu Jianhong did some calculations in his mind. According to the current housing development speed, he would have a gross income of 50,000 yuan for each building he built, but Qin Ge only wanted one thousandth of it, and the key was that he only wanted 10% in the end... He gave up more than a little bit, but if he really had the ability, why would he ask for such a low price?
Xu Jianhong calculated carefully, and suddenly saw Shengxia coming from the other side. He suddenly understood: "Young man, are you in a hurry to get married? Are you really short of money?"
"Yes, I want to give her a good life."
