Chapter 146: Good Luck
Dongfang Ding was a little confused by Su Nanzhi's contradictory words, and then he heard Su Nanzhi continue: "I want to be a part-time salesman in the steel factory."
Although she received a lot of money from Qin Lie, Su Nanzhi did not treat herself badly in terms of food and expenses, so her savings are a bit small now, and she needs to find a place to make money.
Dongfang Ding felt that he could understand every word Su Nanzhi said, but when they were put together, he didn't understand what she said.
"Director Dongfang, you should know the problems at the tractor factory better than I do. There's an imbalance between supply and demand, and the tractors the factory produces simply can't be sold. Plus, factories south of the Yangtze River are producing tractors at lower prices. Our county's tractor factory is facing increasing difficulties..."
When Dongfang Ding heard what Su Nanzhi said, his face became more and more ugly.
Although he had not officially started working at the tractor factory, he had already learned about the situation there before arriving in Zhoushan County.
And just as Su Nanzhi said, although the tractor looks bright and beautiful, the actual situation is not good.
If he hadn't offended someone, he wouldn't have been sent to Zhoushan County to take on this hot potato.
"What do you mean by part-time job?"
Dongfang Ding, who was originally sitting in a slightly comfortable posture, suddenly sat up straight. If the look he had just given Su Nanzhi was a scrutiny, now it was an examination.
Su Nanzhi smiled and said, "I won't join the tractor factory to take up an apprenticeship or regular worker position, nor will I receive a monthly salary."
Dongfang Ding's eyes lit up, he seemed to understand what Su Nanzhi meant.
"I can help the tractor factory sell tractors. For every tractor sold, the factory will give me a commission."
Dongfang Ding, "What if you didn't sell it?"
"If I don't sell any, the tractor factory won't suffer any losses," said Su Nanzhi confidently. "But I'm afraid if I sell too many, the tractor factory will be overwhelmed."
Dongfang Ding was somewhat tempted, but did not agree immediately.
He needs to think about it again.
Just at this moment, Wen Tianqing came out with the prepared food, interrupting their conversation.
After Su Nanzhi finished her meal and taught Wen Tianqing some skin care tips, it was already three or four in the afternoon when she left Wen Tianqing's house.
But the sun was still very strong outside, so many people stayed at home to rest.
When Su Nanzhi returned to the old house, she happened to run into Gu Xizhou at the gate, whom she hadn't seen for several days.
She glanced at the strange man next to Gu Xizhou, lowered her head and quickly walked past the two of them back to her room.
Gu Xizhou looked at Su Nanzhi's back without any pause, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, and his movement of lowering his head to open the door seemed a little slow.
Dazheng stretched himself and said impatiently, "Linzi, why is there a lock on your door? Are you afraid that someone will steal your things?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened and he rushed into Gu Xizhou's room.
After seeing Gu Xizhou's exceptionally tidy room, Da Zheng showed a look of surprise on his face, and then lay down on Gu Xizhou's bed very familiarly.
Seeing this, Gu Xizhou's already irritable mood became even more irritable.
Da Zheng, however, seemed to be unaware of it. He took off his shoes, crossed his legs, and said to Gu Xizhou with a smug look on his face, "Is that woman the one with the surname Su?"
A dangerous light flashed in Gu Xizhou's eyes, and his hands at his sides clenched unconsciously.
Da Zheng blinked, recalling the appearance of Su Nanzhi he had just seen.
"You are so lucky, I thought Su was an ugly freak."
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly sat up and looked at Gu Xizhou with a puzzled look on his face.
"You didn't do it because you couldn't do it."
"Brother Long has asked me several times in private, you have to hurry up."
Gu Xizhou finally managed to control himself from swinging his fist towards Dazheng's face. He silently told himself several times that he must not ruin the mission, and then the corners of his mouth curled up.
"If you can't do it, then neither can I."
Then he asked casually, "What did Brother Long tell you about me?"
Da Zheng was stunned at first, then looked at Gu Xizhou warily.
Gu Xizhou was shocked, but still maintained a curious look on his face. Just when he was thinking about how to complete the next task after being exposed, he saw Dazheng revealing a teasing smile.
"Lin Zi, I thought you were too disdainful to follow Brother Long, but I didn't expect you to finally lose your patience..."
Seeing that Dazheng was getting more and more off-topic, Gu Xizhou immediately interrupted him.
Da Zheng was not angry, but his face was a little serious.
"Linzi, if you want to work under Brother Long, the most important thing is to be obedient."
"Finish what Brother Long asks you to do as soon as possible. Then Brother Long will trust you and take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
Gu Xizhou did not refute.
If he initially thought that Brother Long was just an ordinary gangster, then what he did in the past few days made him certain that Brother Long was not only involved with many forces in Zhoushan County, but also with overseas forces.
Brother Long, a local gangster, actually got his hands on the county's tractor factory and, together with the factory's staff, transported the unsold tractors out for resale.
If that were all, he couldn't be sure that Brother Long was involved with overseas forces.
But when he was helping to load and unload tractor parts, he heard the person who was taking over speaking Sakura language.
It’s just because he had just joined Brother Long’s team and was doing some physical work. He didn’t know where else Brother Long’s tentacles extended besides the tractor factory?
His top priority now is to gain Brother Long’s deeper trust and infiltrate their ranks.
Just thinking about the task that Brother Long assigned to him when they met last time, Gu Xizhou felt a surge of nameless anger in his heart.
Whether it was Su Nanzhi or any female comrade he didn't know, losing their innocence in this era was a fatal blow.
Even though nothing actually happened between him and anyone, he couldn't get over it in his heart.
"Linzi, complete the task that Brother Long assigned to you as soon as possible." Dazheng patted Gu Xizhou's shoulder, feeling a little regretful but also envious, and said, "If Brother Long had given me this task, maybe I would be a father now."
Gu Xizhou's face turned pale in an instant, and then he lowered his head, without letting Dazheng notice his change. He finally managed to mumble an agreement.
"You go back first, I need to rest."
After saying that, he kicked the man out without giving Da Zheng a chance to speak.
Da Zheng looked puzzled. Usually, Gu Xizhou looked stronger than him, but he was not tired at all, while Gu Xizhou was tired.
But thinking about what he had just said, he felt as if he knew Lin Zi's weakness.
I didn't expect that Linzi, who looked tall and strong, couldn't do it.
What should I do about the task assigned by Brother Long?
Thinking of this, Dazheng's face showed a hint of anxiety, and he was too embarrassed to tell Brother Long about it.
As a brother, he has to explain to Brother Long and ask Brother Long to find Linzi a new job.
