Xu Xiangyang looked at the person in front of him with the same gaze he would give a patient with a cane.
Excuse me?
"What the hell did you say?" He frowned at Zhou Tianyi, as if he hadn't understood what he was saying.
Zhou Tianyi said again, "I don't want you to bother Fu Bao. She is my woman."
Oh ho?
Xu Xiangyang almost burst out laughing. Was this some kind of domineering CEO persona?
She's a true drama queen.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in anything like Fu Bao or Da Bao. You don't need to come to me to tell me, understand?" He was really speechless.
After saying that, he rode off on his bicycle.
These people are all eccentric, but then again, like attracts like!
Seeing that he didn't seem to have that intention, Zhou Tianyi didn't pursue him any further.
Moreover, he couldn't keep up with the bicycle on two legs.
Xu Xiangyang didn't go to the construction site today. Of course, he told Liao Shizhang that he went to the construction site, but in reality, he went to the new city.
The city is definitely much better than the desolate wilderness; at least there are no mosquitoes!
The mosquitoes have been getting worse lately, and despite applying lots of mosquito repellent, it hasn't helped.
He was even mocked by Zhang Lianhe and others, who said he was using perfume.
Xu Xiangyang asked: Who is Xiangxiang?
After entering the city, he did not go home, but went directly to Qian Wenqing's place.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw several people playing cards in the courtyard.
"Holy crap! You cheated!" Qian Wenqing stood up and started throwing cards onto the table.
It's obvious he's the one trying to cheat, yet he's blaming others.
"Boss Xu is here!" Dong Er looked up and saw someone entering the courtyard.
The noise from everyone was so loud that I didn't hear anyone open the door.
Xu Xiangyang nodded. "Pretty relaxed, playing cards here."
I told Qian Wenqing before to investigate Cao Yajun quickly, but he doesn't seem to care.
"Brother Xu! You're here! I was just about to look for you." Qian Wenqing immediately ran over and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
He seemed quite anxious.
Xu Xiangyang rolled his eyes. Why didn't he seem anxious earlier? He said he was coming to find him, but was that believable?
They didn't even believe the playing cards on the table.
After everyone came in and settled down, Qian Wenqing recounted the information they had gathered over the past few days.
Xu Xiangyang nodded. It was pretty much as he had expected. This Cao Yajun was really bold!
He glanced at the group of people opposite him and said, "Keep a low profile for the next couple of days. Don't make any moves yet. The location has already been scouted; going there now would risk being discovered."
There aren't many of them, and if they frequently appear in a sensitive area, they'll easily be discovered.
Xu Xiangyang didn't want to alarm those people; he wanted to take things slowly.
The others nodded in agreement; they all understood these principles.
Qian Wenqing, who was standing to the side, rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Xu, it's been a long time since we've had meat."
The moment the word "meat" was mentioned, everyone's eyes lit up.
In fact, based on past experience, they have already eaten quite a lot of meat in the past two or three months.
But who doesn't like to eat meat? So no one spoke, they all stared at the person opposite them.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at Qian Wenqing with a half-smile, remembering that he had given him a meat ticket last time.
Upon seeing this, Qian Wenqing felt a little uneasy under his gaze.
However, everyone really worked very hard, especially since they brought a lot of useful information this time.
Therefore, Xu Xiangyang decided to treat them to a meal of meat.
He has been thinking a lot during this time. There are some things he doesn't have time to do himself, so he asks these people to run errands, which is also very tiring.
The food should be improved a bit more regularly, and wages should be increased.
"Okay, I'll go out for a bit." He stood up calmly and left.
Once everyone left, everyone was happy.
Doesn't this mean we can eat meat?
That's great news!
A short while later, Xu Xiangyang brought back five catties of meat, ten catties of cured meat, as well as sausages and canned meat.
Everyone else stared in disbelief at the sight of so much stuff.
Xu Xiangyang put down his things, told the others to go to the kitchen to cook, and then called Qian Wenqing into the house alone.
"Brother Xu, what can I do for you?" He approached with a grin, rubbing his hands together in a fawning manner.
Xu Xiangyang didn't have time to joke with him and asked, "How much do you pay them each month?"
salary?
Qian Wenqing replied, "Twenty yuan per person."
Actually, this salary is already quite good. In factories, a monthly salary of just over eighteen yuan is common, and those earning thirty-odd yuan are based on seniority and job title.
Xu Xiangyang thought for a moment and said, "It will be twenty yuan per person per month from now on, and it will increase to thirty-eight next year."
"Your salary is only fifty now, right? Here's the money. Take it first, and just let me know if you need more."
I've wanted to talk about a raise for a while now, but unfortunately I haven't had the time.
He could tell whether everyone had truly put their heart into their work over the past three months; to a certain extent, they had.
Of course, it's not fair to expect them to work themselves to the bone for such a small amount of money; at the very least, they're getting their wages.
Upon hearing that he would get a raise, Qian Wenqing immediately jumped up with joy.
"Really? Brother Xu is so thoughtful!"
Although this job is easy, it doesn't pay as much as being a driver.
Of course, Qian Wenqing never complained; it was his own choice.
Besides, after these past few days, he felt that this job was great; there was food and drink provided, and he didn't have to worry about anything.
I was never as fearful as when I was a driver.
