I was a daigou in the 60s

He rolled on the ground in pain, covering his head with his hands and howling.

Without giving him a chance to breathe, Xiao Dongqing quickly snatched a dagger.

At the same time, he kicked the man to the ground.

"Throw him out!"

he ordered.

He then shouted to those who were not involved in the gambling.

"Come and sign the contract!"

Xiao Dongqing took out a stack of contracts from his bag and slammed them on the table in a firm and powerful voice.

Several people followed the order and carried the man away and threw him out the door.

Others gathered around, examining the documents with some hesitation and curiosity.

Xiao Dongqing put the pen next to the contract and opened his wallet.

A large stack of banknotes was revealed, and a low cry suddenly sounded among the crowd.

Everyone was attracted by the pile of cash, with desire glimmering in their eyes.

Xiao Dongqing shook the money in his hand and said seriously.

“Although the machinery has not arrived yet and the factory and dormitories are still under construction, we can start work today.

Daily wages are settled as long as the contract is signed.

After you finish your day's work, you can come to me in the evening and get ten dollars."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd became excited again. They believed Xiao Dongqing's words even more and rushed to sign.

"Mr. Xiao, what should we do next?"

A man who had just been kicked out turned back and asked.

"Put on your hat."

"it is good."

The few people who had just gambled with that man looked at each other.

After hesitating for a while, he approached Xiao Dongqing cautiously and smiled apologetically.

"Mr. Xiao, can we sign the contract?"

Xiao Dongqing glanced at them coldly.

"Were you gambling just now?"

They seemed a little guilty and stammered.

"This...we are just playing around..."

Xiao Dongqing's expression became even gloomier.

"Yes or no?"

Several people nodded repeatedly in fear.

"Yes Yes."

"In that case, why did you come to see me?"

Xiao Dongqing said with a frown.

"I've made it very clear, if you want to work here you have to follow the rules!"

Several people were shocked and quickly apologized and explained.

"Mr. Xiao, please be flexible. We are really just joking."

"It's all because of Old Dog Zhu's instigation."

"Brothers, am I right?"

"That's right, that's right."

The people around echoed.

The people around nodded one after another, trying to calm Xiao Dongqing's anger.

However, his expression became increasingly gloomy and his tone became stern.

"Here, the rules are the rules, and they are not negotiable!"

"Those who participated in the gambling just now, leave now!"

Those people immediately looked embarrassed and began to plead for mercy.

But Xiao Dongqing remained unmoved and said coldly.

"Would you like to leave gracefully, or would you like me to help you?"

These words frightened them and made them feel extremely regretful.

Xiao Dongqing once promised that he would provide them with job opportunities as long as they stopped gambling.

But they just wanted to seek excitement and played a few rounds with Lao Zhu, but ended up suffering.

The once stable job was ruined.

With regretful expressions on their faces, everyone wiped their tears and slowly left the scene.

Soon, all forty employees signed labor contracts and the abandoned factory began to be renovated.

Xiao Dongqing squatted under a tree in the yard, smoking and supervising the progress of the project.

At this time, Shen Zhong approached Xiao Dongqing cautiously and squatted beside him.

"Brother Xiao, have you become rich recently, or found a backer?"

"Where does this money come from?"

"Why are you asking so many questions?"

Xiao Dongqing said perfunctorily, moved a little to the side and continued smoking.

Shen Zhong followed closely and smiled apologetically.

"Brother Xiao, if you become rich, can you help me?"

Xiao Dongqing closed his eyes and ignored him.

Seeing this, Shen Zhong became anxious and grabbed the corner of Xiao Dongqing's clothes, talking about their past friendship.

"We've been through so much together, been beaten up, and gone through hardships together.

Now that you are rich, you can't forget me, your brother, right?"

Xiao Dongqing frowned, threw away the cigarette butt, and remained silent.

Shen Zhong did not give up and even called him "Dad".

He asked Xiao Dongqing to help him get rich.

Xiao Dongqing rolled his eyes helplessly.

"You are so shameless!"

"Dad! I learned my shamelessness from you."

Shen Zhong said with a smile.

"Even if I wanted to keep you, what could you do?"

Xiao Dongqing asked.

"As long as I get paid, I'll do anything!"

Shen Zhong patted his chest and made a promise, listing a series of skills that made people laugh and cry.

Xiao Dongqing's face was full of black lines, and he finally asked.

"So how are you going to spend your money?"

"Eat, drink and have fun, of course."

Xiao Dongqing shook his head.

"No, go find a proper job somewhere else."

"Don't be like this, Dad Xiao!"

Shen Zhong pleaded.

Shen Zhong gently took the almost finished cigarette from Xiao Dongqing's mouth and threw it away.

Then he opened his cigarette box and took out a new cigarette.

He skillfully inserted it into Xiao Dongqing's mouth and lit it.

"Dad, let me light a cigarette for you."

"The casino is yours now. You have to find a job for your son."

In his heart, Xiao Dongqing actually wanted to keep Shen Zhong.

Although this guy is thick-skinned and has an unsteady stance, he still has some management skills.

These men are working very hard now.

But after a long time, the old habit of laziness will come out.

They are like the workers on the construction sites in Africa.

At the beginning, they were very enthusiastic, but later they became lazy and inefficient.

Xiao Dongqing knew that to maintain order, a prestigious person was needed to lead.

Shen Zhong used to have some power in the casino and his words carried some weight.

Letting him be the foreman should help him keep the situation under control.

However, Xiao Dongqing didn't want to give him this position easily.

"I remember you haven't paid back the money you owe Yang Xueqin yet?"

Xiao Dongqing suddenly asked.

When Shen Zhong heard Yang Xueqin's name, his heart skipped a beat, but he quickly denied it.

"No, I never owe her money."

"But I heard that you took her salary every month. You have to pay it back."

Xiao Dongqing insisted.

Shen Zhong looked helpless.

"How much more?"

"At least five hundred dollars."

Xiao Dongqing said.

"What? Five hundred?!"

Shen Zhong could hardly believe his ears.

For him, this is not a small amount of money and he can't afford it at all.

Xiao Dongqing sneered.

"Don't want to? Forget it, I'll find someone else for the foreman position."

"No!"

Shen Zhong became anxious.

"Five hundred is five hundred, isn't that enough for me to give it to you?"

"Brother Xiao, please give me a way out. They make ten dollars a day, and I'm so jealous!"

Xiao Dongqing smiled slightly and stood up.

"Okay, the foreman position is yours."

"Remember, from now on, they must obey what I say."
