Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

Looking at the lazy, slacking local workers at his pharmaceutical factory construction site, Li Xiangnan felt a surge of anger rising within him.

But soon, he quietly left the construction site.

If I get angry and fire those people here, it could not only cause labor disputes, but also delay the construction period, and people would say that I, the boss, am deliberately making trouble, giving them a pretext to criticize me.

Besides, a quick glance is enough to get a general idea, and we don't have a deep understanding of the specifics.

Whether it's a few individuals or a group slacking off remains to be seen.

Making a hasty move that alerts the others who are slacking off might make them suspicious.

After leaving the construction site, he turned around and went back to the hospital, where he found Jiang Qitao in the snake venom research room deep inside the equipment department on the second floor.

As soon as he entered, he didn't mince words, "Peach, show me the working hours and attendance records of those workers at the pharmaceutical factory!"

"You're back?"

Jiang Qitao was wearing glasses and examining a snake's tail under a microscope when she heard this. Seeing that he had asked about the construction site as soon as he returned, she immediately sensed something was amiss. "You've been to the construction site?"

"Hmm!" Li Xiangnan didn't hide anything, and now that he was facing his own people, he said somewhat angrily, "You're making me the one who's blind to what's right under my nose!"

"You know everything?" Jiang Qitao got up to find materials, and said dejectedly, "These people are really going too far. They reported more working hours than they actually did. I've talked to Brother Guoqing about it several times, and they all agreed, but behind my back they still do the same thing. If I wasn't worried about delaying the project, I would have fired them long ago! These people are just taking advantage of being locals, and they're acting with impunity!"

Li Xiangnan sneered, "Find out the records of the people with the most outrageous work hour issues, especially the one with the flat head who likes to smoke under the scaffolding!"

"You know Wang Laosi too? He's the cousin of foreman Wen Da Nao, and he's the laziest guy ever!" Jiang Qitao searched through the records for a long time before pulling one out.

Li Xiangnan found a chair, sat down, and began flipping through the pages.

The full attendance and full working hours were densely packed on these papers, forming a stark contrast to the laziness he had just witnessed on site.

"Thank you! You go ahead with your work!"

Records alone are not enough; they only confirm to him that there are many slackers on the construction site. He needs more direct and irrefutable evidence!

Li Xiangnan turned around and left the research room, then went to the construction site. He called a worker from the lilac factory from afar and summoned Yuan Guoqing, who was carrying bricks, to his office.

"Brother Guoqing, don't move yet. Go find me some old clothes and a worn-out straw hat!"

Yuan Guoqing was taken aback, somewhat dumbfounded, "What are you doing?"

“I’ll go work as a laborer on the construction site for a day!” Li Xiangnan squinted. “Some things you can’t see the real deal in the office! Just pretend you don’t know me and do your job as usual! I don’t do much work here, and not many people know me, so a little disguise will do!”

Half an hour later, Li Xiangnan changed into a tattered set of work clothes, put on a straw hat, and smeared a layer of ash on his face before leaving the site, blending into the busy construction site.

Yuan Guoqing saw him coming from afar, understood immediately, and waved him over to arrange for him to deliver cement and mortar to the bricklayers.

Pushing the cart with his head down, Li Xiangnan's eyes were on the ground, but his ears were perked up.

After working all day, Li Xiangnan finally saw the light of day.

He had seen a lot of news about construction sites before, but his understanding of them was not very concrete. Now that he was experiencing it firsthand, he could only lament that he had seen too much but knew too little.

As he was working, the foreman, Wen Da Nao, came over and kicked him twice in a condescending manner, telling him to hurry up and remember to give him his wages. This infuriated Li Xiangnan.

That evening, after finishing his work and leaving the construction site, he found Gong Kaijiang, who was still supervising the hotel construction site, and whispered a few words to him.

Gong Kaijiang was taken aback for a moment, then looked at him and immediately understood. He nodded emphatically, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

……

At night, the workers' sheds at the pharmaceutical factory construction site were filled with smoke, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

The foreman, Wen Da Nao, was sitting with his legs crossed, smoking a pipe, chatting and drinking with his core members, having a great time.

"Mr. Wen, that new face who came today looks thin, but he works very hard. Have you talked to him?" Wang Laosi poured Wen Da Nao a sip of wine and asked in a sly manner.

“I hate it when people bring others into the construction site behind my back. You guys ask the other foremen tonight which group this kid is in… I reminded him to offer tribute, but this kid is like a clueless fool, he even pretended to be stupid with me!” Wen Da Nao instructed.

"Yes, yes, we'll ask when we get home tonight!"

Wen Da Nao tapped the table with his finger, and Zhao Lao Gou immediately poured him a drink. "If you're talking about hard work, you can't earn a penny! Making money..."

He raised his hand and tapped his temple. "Making money is all about using your brain!"

After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Look at us, how easy is it? We still get paid every day! That guy surnamed Li, he's barely grown up, what does he know about engineering! If it weren't for some connections, how many times could he have built this place! He's burning money like crazy!"

He pursed his lips in utter disdain.

"Yes, yes, yes," Old Zhao echoed with a smile, "To be honest, our work is indeed easy. This is so much better than when we used to farm in the suburbs! The food and lodging, haha, are all provided by Boss Li. We're here to enjoy ourselves!"

Sun Tieniu also gave a lewd smile and wiped the grease from his mouth.

"If you ask me, we need to be a bit more shrewd. We can tamper with the cement loss reporting, use more sand, anyway, once it's reported, that woman surnamed Jiang won't know anything! Boss Li let him supervise the construction... Hahaha, with so many businesses, hotels, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, even if he just leaves a little bit of his business, it's enough for us to make a living!"

"Yes, we should grab that guy surnamed Li and squeeze him dry, until he's bald! If we don't bleed our way out of a boss like that, who else should we hire?"

“Yeah,” Wang Laosi slapped his thigh, “Boss Li is definitely going to be the sucker! Brother Niu is right, I have to go get the materials tomorrow and report more losses! Boss Wen, if anyone asks, you have to cover for us!”

As he said this, he rubbed his fingers together, "We've been sending you a lot of tribute every year!"

Wen Da Nao narrowed his eyes, casually exhaled a smoke ring, and looked completely in control.

"Don't worry, with me here, we're all brothers! With me protecting you, what are you afraid of? What kind of influence can a kid from out of town have in Yanjing? We're all native Yanjing people, he wouldn't dare to do anything to us! Just focus on your work and eat and stay with Li Xiangnan!"

A knowing, mocking laugh, tinged with greed and disdain, suddenly erupted from the workers' shed.

However, the next morning, while Wen Da Nao was still sound asleep in his cozy nest, Wang Lao Si started banging on the door in a hurry.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

"President Wen, Boss Wen, open the door quickly! Get up! Get up! Something terrible has happened!"

"Damn it, what are you barking about? Don't you know I'm sleeping?!"

Wen Da Nao, still wearing his clothes and shoes, opened the door and saw his lackey Wang Lao Si. He was even more furious. "What the hell do you want? You're disturbing my sweet dreams..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Laosi exclaimed in alarm, "Brother Wen, hurry down! Something terrible has happened! That laborer from yesterday was making everyone rush to a meeting!"

Wen Da Nao Nao, as if he had heard some incredible joke, slapped him across the face, "Are you fucking asleep? A lowly laborer, what kind of ridiculous meeting is this!"

Wang Laosi's face turned pale with fright, and he stammered, "Hurry up and go, Boss Wen, that laborer, the laborer, he..."

"What's wrong with him?" Boss Wen shouted impatiently.

"That's Boss Li!"

"what?"

Wen Laoda's eyes widened, cold sweat instantly broke out, and he grabbed Wang Laosi's collar, "Say it again! Who is he?"

"Mr. Li, that's Mr. Li!"

"What the hell, that bastard!"

Wen Da Nao's face turned pale. Ignoring Wang Lao Si, who was sitting on the ground, he hurriedly put on his clothes and ran to the factory construction site without stopping...
