Xu Xiangyang left the office and glanced at the sky, which was now covered with dark clouds.
It's already June, and the next few months are crucial.
He returned to his office, thinking about his next steps.
The blueprints have been successfully completed; the next step is operation.
Xu Xiangyang did not want to be controlled by anyone, such as Director Liao or Secretary Cao.
Sometimes, those professions only limit him, they don't help him.
Others might think it's great and suits them well.
But he is different.
Xu Xiangyang has always known what he wants: not the power that others think it is, nor the good job that ordinary people think it is.
Taking these things will only bring him constraints.
So, isn't it better to be a little free?
Xu Xiangyang rode his bicycle to the construction site, where preparations were complete and all projects were proceeding as scheduled.
The base can be completed in a month, and the rest will be soon.
Building a factory is the same principle as building a house; once the foundation is laid, the structure can be built very quickly.
It takes about a few days to complete one factory. If there are enough people, a factory can be completed in about ten days.
Seeing everyone working, Xu Xiangyang went to the side to smoke.
Most of the workers here are farmers from the surrounding area who come out to earn money during the off-season.
Although the system is now collective, there are still too few laborers in the city, so they can only hire bricklayers or house builders from nearby areas.
At worst, you just need to have the strength; the pay isn't much anyway, and you'll earn less if you don't have any skills.
Everyone around started working. Xu Xiangyang looked around and then prepared to go back to see Director Ma to see if there was any other work to be done.
Supervising the construction work here every day is a real ordeal. If there's nothing else to do, he could go back and help Director Liao write some documents. That would be much better than being out here in the wind and sun.
Just then, a man suddenly walked up to him and said with a smile, "Hello, comrade, could you please speak to me in private?"
Xu Xiangyang looked up at him and was immediately struck by his appearance: the man had striking eyebrows and sharp eyes, and a thin face.
The guy who's 1.8 meters tall is about as tall as me.
However, his clothes were somewhat dirty and had several patches, indicating that he worked here.
Xu Xiangyang frowned. Although this person wasn't as handsome as him, he still felt that something was off.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
The man glanced around, then pointed to the shady area behind him. "Let's go over there, it's a bit too sunny here."
Xu Xiangyang looked at him curiously. What exactly did this person want to do?
Putting aside the fact that this person dared to chat with officials, how could he possibly think that they would listen to him?
Other workers generally didn't dare to talk to the cadres, for fear of being looked down upon, and they were mostly uneducated and afraid of losing face.
"Say what you have to say here, or I'm leaving." He looked coldly at the person opposite him.
How dare you order me around? Why should I listen to you!
The man hesitated for a moment, but decided to listen to him and say it here.
He turned his head and looked around. There was no one nearby, so he said in a low voice, "Comrade, I have a brand new Forever brand bicycle, a 28-inch one. Do you want it? It's only 220 yuan, no coupons needed."
After he finished speaking, he looked around again.
At the same time, he didn't forget to observe Xu Xiangyang's expression to see what he meant.
A strange light flashed in Xu Xiangyang's eyes, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he also began to observe the person in front of him.
He paused for a moment and said, "You've got some nerve, daring to try and profiteer from me?"
That's what he said, but his expression remained indifferent, making it impossible to discern his true meaning.
The man was a little cautious, then smiled and said, "If you don't need it, then forget it."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Xu Xiangyang stopped him, "Wait a minute, if it's really new, I can buy it."
It's just a bicycle, isn't it? Besides, the bicycle at his house is an old, worn-out one from the space, almost worn out by Xu Guangtian's pedaling.
The man turned around and hesitated for a moment. If Xu Xiangyang did something wrong and reported him, he would be finished.
But then I thought of something else and decided to sell it to him anyway.
Seeing the determination in his eyes, Xu Xiangyang asked, "What's your name?"
"Translated by Zhou Tian".
this……
Xu Xiangyang felt that something was off. How could anyone come up with such a name at this time?
However, he didn't say anything; what did it matter to him what other people's names were?
He replied, "Okay, let's make the deal in the woods across from the gate tomorrow afternoon."
It's impossible to make a deal today, right? Who carries hundreds of dollars with them when they go out?
Of course, he had a lot of money with him.
But not everyone is as rich as him.
After Xu Xiangyang left, he looked towards the construction site and saw Zhou Tianyi working just like everyone else.
He also had his own questions about why he agreed to buy the bicycle from this person.
How could a worker just casually pull out a Forever brand bicycle?
Who would buy this if they had money? Considering Zhou Tianyi's circumstances, why not keep it to get a better job?
Xu Xiangyang watched for a while, then turned and left.
Not far from the entrance of the construction site, he saw someone waving at him.
Xu Xiangyang walked over slowly.
"Brother Xu, it's been a long time!" Qian Wenqing said happily.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time, about a month or so.
"How's the matter I asked you to handle? Make a long story short." Xu Xiangyang didn't have time for catching up.
I need to go back to the construction site for another check later, then I'll head back.
Qian Wenqing knew he was busy, so he said, "I've found out everything you asked us to investigate."
The two talked for half an hour, and that's a short story; if they had talked in detail, it might have taken much longer.
Having received accurate information, Xu Xiangyang nodded, indicating that he should go back first.
Qian Wenqing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother Xu, remember to come back and visit us when you have time! We all miss you terribly."
Sigh, life is really tough for them without their eldest brother.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at him and sneered, "You want the meat I take back, don't you?"
I originally planned to see through it but not say anything, but this kid is a bit shameless.
Qian Wenqing chuckled foolishly, "You really can't hide anything from Brother Xu, you're amazing."
"Alright, stop joking!" Xu Xiangyang rolled his eyes, took out five catties of meat coupons from his pocket and gave them to him, "There won't be any more, figure out how to spend them yourself."
No need to give them money. I left them a few hundred yuan when I left, enough for them to live on for a while.
Upon seeing the hostage, Qian Wenqing's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Brother Xu is so generous! Thank you, Brother!"
This time, Xu Xiangyang really didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he turned around and left.
However, the information they gathered this time was indeed worthy of a reward.
Five catties of meat coupons are enough for them to eat dumplings for two meals, which is quite a lot.
He wouldn't normally give it to me.
They ate a lot, but didn't do much work.
