Upon hearing this, Chen Dazhu and Ma Yulian were taken aback once again.
Both of them thought that Li Junsheng was trying to raise the price on the spot, and Ma Yulian's anger, which had just subsided, flared up even more.
"What are you doing..."
Ma Yulian immediately began to question him, but Chen Dazhu quickly gave her a look, telling her to stop talking nonsense.
Chen Dazhu realized that he couldn't let her and Zhiyuan take the initiative, otherwise things would easily go wrong.
Receiving a meaningful look from Chen Dazhu, Ma Yulian could only swallow back the words she was about to say.
Ma Yulian rolled her eyes in anger!
At this moment, Chen Dazhu's expression became more serious, and he asked Li Junsheng, "Junsheng, didn't I already give you a thousand yuan? We agreed on a thousand yuan for this job, why are you asking for more money?"
"You know that the thousand yuan is all for me, right? The money I spent on getting you the certificate was all from that thousand yuan, my own money."
"The factory values personal relationships the most; they won't do anything without money. So, if I need to get another certificate, shouldn't you reimburse me for the cost?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Dazhu froze on the spot.
This is even worse than if Li Junsheng had tried to raise the price himself; at least he would have had something to negotiate with.
Unfortunately, he was asking for more money because the factory had high demands, which made it difficult for Chen Dazhu to negotiate and he couldn't refuse!
"Think about it."
Anyway, Li Junsheng wasn't in a hurry. He left those words behind and then closed his eyes to rest on the recliner.
Before Ma Yulian could say anything, Chen Zhiyuan looked unconvinced.
"This is supposed to be a state-owned factory? How can they be so unscrupulous?"
"Zhiyuan! Shut up, you have no right to speak here for now."
Chen Dazhu lightly rebuked Chen Zhiyuan, then stroked his chin in thought.
He was considering whether what Li Junsheng said was true.
Chen Dazhu looked at Li Junsheng, who was sitting on a bench, looking at him confidently and fearlessly.
The two men looked at each other without any guilt, and didn't seem like they were lying to swindle him out of money.
In reality, Li Junsheng, after his rebirth, was no longer the same person he once was.
Why would she show shyness when making eye contact with Chen Dazhu?
Chen Dazhu had heard long ago that state-owned enterprises were quite troublesome, requiring approval from multiple levels of government to do anything.
Even a simple matter may require several stamps, one stamp per card, and getting a stamp often involves going through a favor.
Looking at Li Junsheng's current situation, Chen Dazhu felt that what others said was probably true.
Just as Chen Dazhu was thinking this, Ma Yulian, who was already furious, started cursing Li Junsheng.
"Money, money, money! You're so obsessed with money, why are you so stingy? What's wrong with you taking a loss? The Nationalist army is just like you, you and your son are making things difficult for me every day!"
"The certificate was in your hands, yet the Nationalist army managed to take it away. You're useless at everything, you eat nothing but wood. If you had hidden back then, you wouldn't have to get a new certificate now, would you?"
Ma Yulian actually blamed him again, and Li Junsheng's face darkened, clearly showing his displeasure.
"Why don't you say it's Chen Zhiyuan's fault? He shouldn't have asked for proof in front of the National Army. He couldn't hold his temper at all. He's been in such a hurry for just over a day!"
“I had already presented all the necessary documents, but he didn’t get them first. I could tell he didn’t really value the documents or the job. I risked being resented by the Nationalists and was willing to go to the factory to get the documents reissued. And you’re still blaming me?”
Ma Yulian choked, unable to argue with Li Junsheng any longer.
She felt a tightness in her chest from anger, and sensed that Li Junsheng had become much sharper and more sarcastic.
"Quiet down, quiet down, Yulian, say less. Old Li is right!"
Chen Dazhu spoke to Li Junsheng, but unusually, he looked rather sullen towards Ma Yulian.
Li Junsheng snorted coldly, certain that Chen Dazhu wouldn't dare to offend him too much right now.
"Chen Dazhu, tell me honestly, haven't I done everything I should have done? Because of your son's recent incident, my family is in turmoil."
"I didn't say I wouldn't help you. If I go to the factory again to ask for favors, of course I'll have to spend money to do them a favor, right? I'm going to make another trip to ask for favors without saying anything!"
Li Junsheng put on airs with Chen Dazhu, who was no good person and wouldn't understand Li Junsheng.
But he would put on a smiling face for Li Junsheng in order to work at the factory.
Li Junsheng wanted to see him grit his teeth in hatred for him, but unable to do anything about it!
As expected, Chen Dazhu smiled and nodded in agreement with Li Junsheng, "Yes, yes, I know this is troublesome for you, Lao Li, but things just happened to come to this point."
"Don't be angry. Yulian is just angry and that's why she's not speaking very nicely to you. You two shouldn't fight."
When the topic of couples came up, Ma Yulian looked disgusted. Who would want to be a couple with Li Junsheng!
Another reason is that Chen Zhiyuan was also unconvinced, because Li Junsheng blamed him for making the transfer of the job clear to Li Guojun.
Chen Zhiyuan didn't care about any of that and muttered to himself, "You took my dad's money yourself, so it's only natural that you transfer the job to me!"
"He didn't explain things clearly to his son, and now he's blaming me."
Chen Dazhu secretly gave Chen Zhiyuan a push!
He understood that Li Junsheng was short of money, and if he wanted to succeed, he couldn't be afraid of taking a loss.
I've already given you a thousand yuan, so giving you a little more won't hurt.
However, Chen Dazhu felt a tightness in his chest and was uncomfortable!
It's unclear how much money Li Junsheng is planning to ask for this time.
Chen Dazhu didn't want to give him a single cent, but he couldn't refuse!
It's all my son's fault for being so talkative and impatient; otherwise, things would have been done by now, and we wouldn't have had to spend so much money.
Thinking of this, Chen Dazhu turned around and glared at the unconvinced Chen Zhiyuan.
I secretly vowed to myself that when I got back I would teach my son to be patient and take things slowly!
Chen Zhiyuan, who was being glared at, looked completely bewildered and still didn't think he had done anything wrong.
Chen Dazhu organized his thoughts and immediately began to flatter Li Junsheng.
"I must say, Lao Li, you're really capable. If I were to handle this myself, I probably wouldn't even be able to get a meeting with your factory's leaders."
Li Junsheng readily agreed to the suggestion.
"Indeed, the factory leaders are hard to meet. Besides, as a veteran worker, they all know I'm reliable, easy to get along with, and honest. They don't really want me to give up my job to a young person in the factory whose character they don't know!"
"I understand that principle. When you ask someone for a favor, it's only right to treat them to a meal and give them a gift, isn't it?"
Li Junsheng nodded, then pointed to the things that Chen Dazhu had brought, which Li Guojun had kicked around in a mess.
"They have high standards. They wouldn't even look at the things you brought today. Otherwise, these things of yours might be usable!"
Li Junsheng spoke with a serious and earnest air.
Chen Dazhu quickly believed him and sat down next to Li Junsheng, tentatively asking, "How much would it cost to get another certificate?"
"Old Li, give me a straight answer, and I'll give you the money. Just get this done for me."
