When Jiang Rong saw her daughter coming back, she immediately came over to help.
But he looked at the other person with a worried look on his face.
"What does he want from you? Can you tell him the address of our new home?"
Jiang Rong always felt uneasy about Chen Jingang. After all, it was obvious that the man was not an ordinary person.
Wu Qiao was stumped by his mother's question. She didn't have a phone or a pager, so how did she notify Chen Jingang?
Besides, my mother is just in poor health, her brain is fine.
"Ahem...Mom, that Chen Jingang is on a business trip in Bincheng recently. Just now, when my brother and I went to get tables, chairs, and a washing machine, he happened to see us. He also took me out and introduced me to a job."
Jiang Rong knew that the family was short of money, but she said, "No, you're so young, and people are treacherous. What if they're trying to scam you? Five thousand yuan a month is as much as some people's annual salary."
"Mom...if you don't believe me, I'll take you to see it tomorrow. Five thousand yuan is a high salary, but it's also tiring. If you don't do your job well, you won't get paid."
The last sentence was added by Wu Qiao on the spur of the moment just to make his mother believe him.
After repeated assurances, Jiang Rong gave in.
After being hungry for the whole morning, Wu Qiao was finally able to go into the kitchen and start cooking.
After lunch, someone knocked on the door again.
When she heard the knock on the door, Wu Qiao's body tensed up and her expression became a little unnatural. She was afraid. What if it was Chen Jingang knocking on the door? How would she explain it?
But seeing that his mother and brother were both looking at him, he could only laugh dryly and said, "Mom, I'll go open the door."
After hesitatingly walking to the entrance and opening the door, he saw two middle-aged men in work clothes standing outside. In order to convince the homeowner of their identities, they even took out their work IDs.
After glancing at the ID, Wu Qiao suddenly raised his hand to stop the two from entering. "Wait, we're new customers and didn't ask for a phone."
Although telephones were already very popular in 1999, her family had just rented a new house and had never applied for this service.
"Here's the receipt." Another staff member handed the receipt to Wu Qiao and walked straight into the house, muttering as he walked.
"Hurry up, we are very busy."
Installing the telephone was actually quite quick. In less than half an hour, the brand new phone was placed on the table in the living room.
The staff also left.
Jiang Rong looked at the phone on the table and looked at her daughter in confusion.
Wu Qiao felt uncomfortable under his mother's gaze. Just as he was about to hide in his room, he was startled by the ringing of the phone.
"Sister, please answer the phone." Wu Wei couldn't help laughing.
Wu Qiao rolled his eyes at his brother, took a deep breath, and waited until some color appeared on his face before he picked up the microphone.
"I'm Chen Jingang."
“!!!”
"I requested the phone be installed so I can check on your work progress every day. From now on, you must be by the phone at 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. You must do this, or I'll deduct your salary."
Before she could reply, the call was hung up.
Wu Qiao also happened to hear the sound of the phone being hung up, hands-free!
"Wu Wei, you bad boy, how can you use the hands-free mode!"
Wu Wei laughed heartily and ran back to the bedroom, not forgetting to shout, "Mom got out of the way."
With her shoulders drooped, Wu Qiao looked like an eggplant hit by frost. She realized that Chen Jingang was staring at her.
Jiang Rong couldn't bear to blame her daughter, so she went into the house to rest without saying anything.
