Chapter 50 Taking over the job
Huang Wenlong stated his request in one breath.
Chen Wenjun was a little excited and asked, "How many people are there?"
"Including me, there are about 25 people. Only half of them are here today. The rest will stay over there to watch over the site. We have to go back right after we finish eating. The next project will be similar to this one, with 20 to 30 people as well."
"Um. Can I go back and discuss this with my wife and give you an answer later?"
"No problem!" Huang Wenlong stood up immediately when he saw Zheng Guoxing start serving the dishes. He smiled cheerfully and said, "The next project will not start until a month later. Sister-in-law, please think about it slowly. You will only cook one meal a day and buy groceries. It will cost you thirty yuan a month."
Chen Wenjun nodded repeatedly.
After he settled the bill with Zheng Guoxing, he said hello to Huang Wenlong and left.
As soon as he left, Huang Wenlong immediately took the meal to the kitchen to find Zheng Guoxing, and by the way, he took another shrimp cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I just asked Chen Wenjun's wife to come over and cook for us."
Zheng Guoxing raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, then asked, "Does he agree?"
"I'll think about it. I think it's possible!" Huang Wenlong took a big mouthful of rice, glanced at the shrimp cake, and squinted his eyes happily. "Your cooking skills are really good. It smells so good!"
As he said this he took another one.
Zheng Guoxing glared at him angrily, "You come to my place to eat and take things, and you want to cut off my source of income, get out of here!"
Huang Wenlong immediately explained in a flattering manner, "It's just that we really have no other options! It doesn't matter if I come to your place to eat every day, but they can't afford it! It's just that this project is almost finished and it's hard to hire people, so we just have to get by for a while."
In fact, they also hired someone to cook before the project started. In order to keep the benefits within the family, they also hired the wife of one of the workers.
The other party didn't dare to deduct money, but he was very stingy and would even pass off inferior goods as good ones. He could bring back a lot of vegetables every day. If he hadn't been discovered by other workers accidentally, he would have been able to keep it a secret.
After the incident became a big deal, the man still made excuses with a righteous indignation. His brother who was doing the work felt ashamed and quit his job.
A good relationship just broke down like this.
Having learned from the previous experience, he didn't dare to ask relatives and friends to take on the job this time, but he was worried about other people. At this time, the appearance of Chen Wenjun and his wife gave him hope.
Apart from anything else, building the house is a long-term project for this couple, and as long as they need his help, they will not offend him just to take advantage of this small advantage.
When Chen Wenjun's house is almost built, his project will also be almost completed. At that time, whether to continue to use Chen Wenjun's wife will be a matter of his words.
Zheng Guoxing snorted coldly, "Don't act pitiful in front of me, I don't know you yet! But this time you have chosen the right person, Chen Wenjun must be the right wife!"
"My vision is always good!"
"You're bragging without anyone seeing anything! And if you say it's accurate, will it cause you to cut off contact with your brothers?"
Huang Wenlong: “.” You’re bringing up things that are not relevant to the topic, damn it!
Chen Wenjun kept thinking about this matter on his way back from Guoxing Hotel.
It was not until he reached Nanxi that he came to his senses and shouted.
Chen Pingan, who was standing at the gap fishing and keeping watch, heard the shout and turned his head quickly, "Grandpa, my dad is back!"
Lin Yi limped forward, quickly put away the two children's fishing rods, and took them on the boat to pick up Chen Wenjun.
Rowing with a bamboo pole is neither difficult nor easy. It requires skill. Fortunately, their area is not where the water is fast-flowing, so Lin Yi has no difficulty in rowing the boat.
Waiting for the fishing boat to dock.
Chen Wenjun quickly loaded everything onto the boat and asked, panting heavily, "Is Ah Qin still working in Nanyu?"
Lin Yi nodded, "One morning, the whole island was full of rocks rolling around. I was worried that the children would be hit, so I didn't dare let them get close. The three of us huddled in the gap to fish. It's no wonder that the water there is deep and there are many big fish.
The two kids were as lucky as ever. In just one morning, they caught more than a dozen big fish. The smallest one weighed more than a pound. All I could do was help them pull the fishing rods, which was of no use.”
Chen Wenjun was delighted when he heard this, "Dad! Who said you are useless? The deserted island is ours, we can reclaim it and grow vegetables."
"Hehe! That's what I was planning too! It's just that Aqin won't let me touch the hoe, otherwise I would have to cultivate an acre and three mu of land!" Lin Yi shook his head. It was obvious that he had already made up his mind, but he couldn't do anything because of the stumbling block of Lin Qin.
As the two chatted and laughed, the fishing boat approached the gap.
Chen Wenjun had already taken the opportunity to eat his lunch. After getting ashore, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "Aqin, come down for a moment!"
Just as he finished speaking, two more stones rolled down, and a figure carefully climbed down from halfway up the mountain.
Chen Wenjun hurried over to help her and told her about what happened today.
When Lin Qin learned that Huang Wenlong wanted her to work, she was surprised, happy, and a little timid. "Can I do it? That's a meal for 20 or 30 people! What if the food is not tasty and people dislike it?
But if I take this job, wouldn't it be much easier for us to buy cement from him?"
In her opinion, Huang Wenlong was the boss of the project contractor and it was impossible for him to help them for no reason just for Zheng Guoxing's face. You know, if you save thirty yuan on a ton of cement, one hundred tons would be three thousand yuan!
Someone helped them save thousands of dollars, so they owe him a big favor.
Chen Wenjun nodded and said thoughtfully, "I think so too. Since they are willing to help us, we can't refuse them. Why don't we just agree? The saltiness of the food doesn't matter. We can get the hang of it after cooking it once or twice. Buying vegetables is even easier. We can open a vegetable plot on the island to grow vegetables.
Before you harvest the vegetables from the garden, I will help you pick the vegetables at the market. Grandma Li's vegetables have always been good. Not only are there more varieties than others, the prices are also cheaper. The most important thing is that her vegetables are picked right in the morning and are very fresh.
We sell fish and shrimp, and the price is one cent cheaper than the market price. You can record the accounts the way you want, or let Boss Huang do the calculation himself. It doesn't matter if there is a little error. After all, we can save a lot of money on buying cement.
I'll come over to help you after I deliver the fish and shrimp, how about that?"
Lin Qin grinned, "Okay! I'll listen to you! Give them a definite answer tomorrow!"
Seeing her smiling brightly, Chen Wenjun broke another piece of good news, "There is also the Liu family matter. I heard that Fang Meixiang and his father were both sentenced to three years in prison and fined a lot of money. This matter involved many people, even the director of the Education Bureau was affected, and the city made a big fuss.
But most people don’t know. It was Boss Zheng who told me that Liu Yongming had resigned from the Land and Resources Bureau and returned to school. I guess he went to avoid the limelight.
You don't have to worry if he's not in Anshi. You can go wherever you want. Don't be afraid!"
