Chapter 98: Seeking Credit
Qin Huiyin touched the top of Tang Yixiao's head and said, "Why are you still jealous?"
Tang Yixiao turned his face away awkwardly when she said that.
He was jealous, angry, and afraid that Song Ruize would snatch her away. Qin Huiyin hugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, you will always be my best brother, my only brother."
Tang Yi smiled again: "Then take me with you tomorrow."
"No, you help at home. Third Grandpa and I are enough." Qin Huiyin said.
"Why can't you take me with you when you do anything?" Tang Yi laughed and snorted, "What do you mean by only brother? It's all a lie."
Tang Luwu was helpless: "Little brother, Yinyin has something important to do."
"I won't make trouble. Forget it, I won't go." Tang Yi said with a smile, moved to the side, and turned his head to look outside.
Qin Huiyin couldn't help but be shaken.
Or, take him with you?
Forget it. This guy obviously doesn’t like Song Ruize. If they meet, I don’t know what nasty things he will say. So don’t bring him along.
On the other side, Song Ruize bought the goods back. He did not hand them over directly to Chen Zhe who was in charge of purchasing, but found Yang Baotou.
When the people around Yang Baotou heard that it was him who was looking for him, they let him go without reporting to him.
Song Ruize didn't expect that his kindness would make Yang Baotou make an exception for him. He didn't notice that the light in Yang Baotou's eyes went out when he saw him coming in empty-handed.
"What's the matter?" The brat has a bad temper, but he has a sister who is a good cook. For the sake of the appetizer sauce his sister gave him, please take care of him a little more!
"I have already bought the ironware that Manager Chen arranged for me to buy."
Yang Baotou frowned: "Did he arrange for you to buy iron tools?"
Chen Zhe is in charge of purchasing, and it shouldn't be handed over to someone else. Even if it is handed over to someone else, it shouldn't be the turn of a young guy like Song Ruize.
But the arrangement has been made. As long as he can do it, his young age doesn’t matter.
There's no need to report this little thing to him separately; there must be something else going on.
"Any other difficulties?"
"It's not difficult, I just need Brother Yang's help."
"You, a stubborn person, finally learned to adapt." Yang Baotou's expression softened and he waved to him, "Come here."
Song Ruize took a few steps forward and handed the purchase list to Yang Baotou.
Yang Baotou looked at it casually, but when he saw the data above, his expression became serious.
“Is the price written here wrong?”
"There is no mistake." Song Ruize looked puzzled. "The prices above are all specified by Manager Chen, and he also gave me the money, not a penny less."
"You said that Chen Zhe used this money to buy things for you, and bought so many things?" Yang Baotou frowned.
"Yes! Manager Chen said that this is the price he buys at. If I don't do it well, it means I am not doing my job well. This is the first time I have done such an important job. I don't have the connections like Manager Chen. It took me a lot of effort to complete the task he assigned to me. Now there is a little trouble, and I need Brother Yang to make the decision."
A look of sarcasm flashed in Yang Baotou's eyes.
This Chen Zhe is really bold and presumptuous.
He used this little money to give to his subordinates for purchases, and when the task was completed, he could pocket the extra money.
There is more than one dam leader for such a large dam project, and Chen Zhe is Chen Baotou's nephew, and Chen Baotou and Yang Baotou are sworn enemies. Now that the knife is delivered to his door, how can Yang Baotou not use it?
When Yang Baotou looked at Song Ruize again, his eyes became complicated.
I originally thought he was a troublemaker who had no other ability except to stir up trouble all day long, but now it seems that I was wrong. This kid is very cunning and has many tricks.
"What do you want me to do for you?"
Song Ruize then told the story of how he purchased ironware at the lowest price.
He erased Qin Huiyin's traces, not because he wanted to steal her credit, but because he didn't want to involve a little girl. Building the dam was the court's business, and purchasing was a mess thrown to him by the higher-ups. If Yang Baotou knew that Qin Huiyin had such a strong ability to handle things, she would never be able to live a peaceful life again.
"Boy, you've done a great job." Yang Baotou said excitedly, "If all our things can be provided by this supplier, how much money can the court save?"
"Brother Yang, do you mean that this official seal can be stamped?"
"We have to build it." Yang Baotou said, "Come with me now. I'll take you to see the person in charge of the dam construction. You should organize your thoughts and don't panic when you see the person. Just speak out your ideas. But you are never afraid of trouble, so you shouldn't be so useless."
A temporary dining tent. Chen Zhe came with a bowl to get food. His bowl was bigger than others', so the person serving him food gave him twice as much.
"Brother Chen, here, here..." Song Tiegen waved.
Chen Zhe came over with a bowl and sat next to him: "Didn't you buy anything delicious today?"
They have free time every day, during which they can go out for a walk, but they must come back within the specified time. If they are not present during roll call, their wages will be deducted.
"I don't have time to go out today, I'll treat Brother Chen to roast duck some other day." Song Tiegen said generously.
"You are a good boy." Chen Zhe was satisfied.
"Brother Chen, Song Ruize hasn't come back yet. Did he mess up the things you arranged?" Song Tiegen gloated.
"I asked him to get a bottle of sauce a few days ago, but he was too stingy to agree. If you don't behave like a human being in this world, you will pay the price." Chen Zhe sneered viciously.
"Brother Chen is still too gentle. If it were me, I would definitely make him pay for it."
"You kid, don't think I don't know what you are thinking, using your brother to deal with him?" Chen Zhe scolded with a smile, "But, that kid is indeed too arrogant, he should be dealt with."
"Manager Chen, the county magistrate wants you to come over." A bailiff shouted.
"County magistrate?" The person next to him said, "Sir, the county magistrate personally summoned you here because he knows you are reliable and wants to reward you handsomely."
Chen Zhe smiled proudly: "I'll go take a look, brothers, eat more. I don't have time to finish this bowl, you guys share it!"
Chen Zhe's bowl was full of meat. He said he would share it with everyone. Everyone rushed forward and immediately ate up all the meat in his bowl.
Chen Zhe's eyes were full of disgust.
His uncle is the dam boss, in charge of hundreds of people. Even though he also works at the dam, he only does the work of ordering people around and does not have to do any hard labor at all.
Not only that, his salary is higher than others.
These peasants are so filthy. He can't even have this bowl anymore, let's change it, he is disgusted by these people.
Chen Zhe followed the bailiff to the county magistrate's current location.
"Master Wen, Master County Magistrate, Chen Zhe is here." The bailiff brought Chen Zhe into the temporary supervision room.
