He Wenlin called Liao Jianhai three times in a row, but no one answered.
He Wenlin had no choice but to give up for the time being.
He Wenlin went to the bridge, and sure enough, there was a shop under renovation on the other side of the bridge. It wasn't far from the Meihua Garment Factory, just a dozen steps away.
The signboard is already up; it's called Brothers Fast Food.
Main business: fast food, noodles.
It's not open for business yet, so we can't know what their tastes are like. But in terms of environment, He Wenlin's house will be completed next year, and then the environment will be much better, which they can't match.
This year we're not worried at all. We've sold so many vouchers that even if the other party offered them at a 66% discount like Huang Ji, not many people would buy them.
On the way back, He Wenlin called Liao Jianhai again, but no one answered.
He Wenlin had no choice but to return to the fast food restaurant.
￥￥￥￥￥￥
Baijia Village, food factory.
Mr. He was brought to the factory. He didn't sleep a wink last night and can't even open his eyes today. He can't work in this condition.
There's a room here that's Mrs. He's rest room, and the money is also kept here. Mr. He has been lying here all morning.
He's father woke up around lunchtime.
I wanted to make a phone call, but then I remembered that my mobile phone and car keys had been confiscated.
Mr. He sighed heavily in resignation.
He put on his coat, got up, and prepared to go out to make a phone call, only to find that he had no money on him.
"Xiao Kai, do you have any money? Lend me twenty yuan." He's father caught Tang Kai.
"Auntie, what are you doing here? Don't you have to work at that fast food restaurant today?" Tang Kai was unaware of the "heinous crime" that He's father had committed, let alone that he had been reassigned to make egg rolls.
Mr. He was too embarrassed to say that he had been "exiled," so he just said perfunctorily, "I have something to do these two days, give me twenty yuan."
Tang Kai generously gave He's father twenty yuan, and He's father took the money and took the bus into the city.
Then I got off the bus on Chengnan Avenue, bought a phone card, and dialed a number from a roadside phone booth...
...
Inside the food factory.
The confiscated phone was in He Ma's hands when it suddenly rang.
He Ma pressed the answer button, but before she could speak, Tang Wei's voice came through the phone: "Ming-ge, are you awake yet? Let's get to work. A newbie is coming over today, so you can break even."
Upon hearing this, He Ma's first reaction was that the other party was the group that had invited He Ba to play cards!
Mrs. He jumped up excitedly: "You're the ones who got my husband into gambling, aren't you?"
The person on the phone fell silent instantly, pausing for several seconds.
Immediately afterward, Tang Wei on the other end of the phone said with a smile, "Is this your sister-in-law? We are Brother Da Ming's friends. It's just a few of us playing around. It's not gambling. Don't be angry, sister-in-law."
"I'm so angry with you! You cheated my family out of money, you son of a bitch who has no father!" Mrs. He cursed angrily.
Then I slammed the phone down, thinking that I couldn't let them contact me again, and I couldn't let He's father go out again!
Fifteen hours of work a day? That's not enough.
He'd have to work eighteen hours a day, or he'd be exhausted!
Thinking of this, Aunt He angrily went to knock on the door, wanting to teach her spendthrift husband a lesson, but he wasn't there!
"Auntie, are you looking for my aunt? He's gone out," Tang Kai said.
"went out? Where did they go?"
"I don't know, but they took twenty yuan from me and left."
"You gave him money!!!" Aunt He's voice suddenly rose.
Tang Kai was startled and became very nervous: "Yes...yes, is there a problem?"
"Don't give him any more money, not even a single penny!"
Tang Kai was a little confused and gave a blank reply.
He's mother quickly made a phone call to He Wenlin: "Linlin, is your dad with you?"
"He's not here, what's wrong?"
"He took twenty yuan from Xiao Kai and went out. I don't know where he went. Maybe he went to play cards. I'm so angry."
"Mom, don't worry. I'll go over to the card room in a bit. Dad might not even be playing cards. Besides, it's far from your place to Caijiang Village, so he's probably still on his way. Don't worry, I'll call you back when I get any news."
"By the way, those guys just called your dad's cell phone, trying to get him to play cards. I answered the phone. Those guys are really awful!"
He Ma was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll go check the card room."
He Wenlin was also furious, and had an urge to break her father's legs.
After hanging up the phone, He Wenlin asked the people in the store if the card room had called to place an order today.
"We ordered eight fast food meals," Tang Caihong said.
"I'll deliver it."
"Young boss, those places aren't very good, I'll go instead."
Tang Caihong felt that the people there were all disreputable men and young men, and it wouldn't be appropriate for He Wenlin, an innocent young girl, to go there.
"It's okay."
He Wenlin needs to go check if her father is there. If he's not, they'll definitely know where he is.
He Wenlin carried the fast food to the chess and card room. Before she even entered, she smelled a strong, pungent smell of smoke.
"Boss, your takeout is here." He Wenlin said while glancing around, but her father was nowhere to be seen.
Similarly, Ye Jun and Tang Wei were nowhere to be seen.
That day, the two of them were the most enthusiastic about calling for He's father to play cards.
However, He Wenlin met Zhang Hua here – the owner of Meihua Garment Factory!
They were probably lured here.
