Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

After all, he fainted in front of the woman he liked last night. Every time Wu Yongjie thought about it, he felt ashamed and didn't want to mention it again. He just wanted everyone to forget about this incident, especially Fang Ya.

He took the dish into the tent to eat. When he picked up the dish with chopsticks, he found a large piece of beef hidden in the bowl.

It was obvious that Ling Fengxi gave him special treatment.

But that's okay, isn't it? This crappy project is really terrible, what's wrong with eating some meat? He thought so and took a big bite of beef.

However, Wu Yongjie still thought things were simple. When he came out after finishing his meal, he saw a dozen workers carrying packages, standing in front of his tent waiting for him.

"Boss, we're here to say goodbye to you. We're planning to go back home and we won't be participating in this project."

"It's the landowner. We're here to collect our wages."

Wu Yongjie stared at them in amazement. "More than a dozen of you, are you all going to leave?"

"Boss, something happened at home, and I have to go back. Xitian Mountain is too far away from my home, and I can't take care of my family."

Another explained.

Wu Yongjie calmed down for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said sarcastically, "I don't know you guys, you're just cowards. Yesterday, you were not feeling well, and the medical team worked all night to treat you. I, the leader, stayed up almost the entire night. Now that you're better, the first thing you do is run away? You're not thinking about how to complete this mission with me, nor are you thinking about conquering the Western Tianshan Mountains. The first thing you want to do is desert!"

The dozen or so men all lowered their heads in shame, but someone immediately said, "Boss, what's the point of all that grand talk? Even if we conquer Western Tianshan, our wages won't increase. They'll remain the same. But what happened yesterday really scared us. We're afraid of dying here."

"How could he die here with a medical team?"

"There are times when it's too late to save someone. You don't know how painful it was yesterday when my blood oxygen levels were so low."

"Yes, Boss, please understand. Also, we'll be stationed here for a month, so we should be paid for that month, right?"

"Don't even think about it!" Wu Yongjie was stubborn. "So what if you're stationed here for a month? We came here to work, and you're running away after only half a day's work. And you still want your wages? Not only will you not get any wages, but you'll also have to pay liquidated damages and spit out all the food I've fed you for the past month!"

Wu Yongjie originally planned to divide the work into shifts and have them take turns. To put it bluntly, for the project, he would implement a round-the-clock approach to complete the project.

For them, it is a human wave tactic. If they are divided into five shifts, the number of workers needed will increase. Moreover, if each worker only works two hours a day and is idle the rest of the time, the engineering team cannot afford to support him.

Therefore, frequent shift changes and adjustments to work sites are required. The shift changes will become very chaotic and complicated, and it will take some time to adapt.

But no matter what, a lot of people are needed.

Then came a heavy blow. At this critical moment, these guys actually wanted to leave?

Seeing Wu Yongjie's lack of loyalty and martial ethics, the dozen or so people also became angry and threw their packages to the ground. "If you don't pay us, we won't leave and we won't work!"

What it means is that I am competing with Wu Yongjie.

Wu Yongjie pointed at them and said, "Well done, well done! I didn't know there were people like you in my team."

Wu Yongjie didn't have time to deal with these dozen people. Instead, he went to the camp to assign and integrate new working methods. In fact, it was done quickly. He already had a complete outline of the work method of divided shifts in his mind. Now he just said it out loud and asked everyone to implement it.

Most workers were happy to hear this method. Although mining is very hard and tiring, they only work two hours a day?

Where in the world can you find such a good job?

Although Wu Yongjie also said that after finishing the heaviest and most tiring two hours of work, he can do other easier work, but he can't just sit around and eat for free.

However, everyone who works on projects knows that the work on a construction site is consistent. For example, if you have to dig a hole in a mountain, you have to dig a hole in the mountain. It is difficult to find other work during this period.

Therefore, most workers did not object and only asked the question of "whether the wages will be paid as usual."

Wu Yongjie said, "Salaries will continue to be paid without any reduction."

But some workers were even more frightened by hearing about this way of working. If it wasn't for the hidden danger of a huge threat to life, why would such an arrangement be made? It was said that those people almost died yesterday.

Influenced by the dozen or so people who were preparing to pack up and go home today, some people are still hesitant. They are still hesitant and are not very cooperative when being divided into shifts. They just lazily report their names.

What made Wu Yongjie happy was that Lin Jinghui came back that day.

Lin Jinghui still had gauze wrapped around his head, but he stood straight and looked energetic, and it was obvious that he was fine. Standing next to him was Cheng Yue, who also had a rosy face. The two of them had been recuperating in the county for a period of time and had recovered both physically and mentally. From this point of view, this end of the West Tianshan Tunnel was indeed not a place to stay.

Wu Yongjie said to Lin Jinghui, "Those dozen or so people are basically your people. You're back just in time. Go and deal with the problem."

Cheng Yue said unhappily, "Leader Wu, Lin Jinghui has just recovered, and you're assigning tasks? You really don't know how to care for your staff."

"I--" Wu Yongjie seemed at a loss for explanation.

But Lin Jinghui had already learned what had happened from his teammates' phone calls, and said to Cheng Yue, "Our Captain Wu is the one who cares the most about the workers. He was so busy after the workers had an accident yesterday that he almost fainted."

Cheng Yue just said "oh" and seemed to disagree.

Wu Yongjie felt a little bitter in his mouth. He still attached great importance to the opinions of Cheng Yue, Pan Xiaoyu and other girls in the medical team. After all, their opinions would affect Fang Ya's opinion of him.

As for Lin Jinghui, when he arrived in front of the dozen people, they were also a little surprised and asked awkwardly, "Little Lin, are you recovered?"

Another said, "Little Lin, this Xitianshan project is simply impossible. Since arriving here, several incidents have occurred, each one a bloody one, nearly sending people to hell."

"Yes, and a few days ago, when we determined that the fourteenth site was the exit, we also carried those technicians and engineers on our backs."

"That's right, it was too close. They almost died."

Lin Jinghui's face was full of sternness. He lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly. Then he said, "I didn't expect you guys would be the ones leaving. You all followed me here and are considered my family. Now you're leaving without even saying hello to me. I had to find out from somewhere else."
