Make a living

Qi Yu is not the domineering president in the novel, and he doesn't have the ability to immediately make Tianliang Wang smash.

But he has brains, understands the law, and knows how to mobilize the most reasonable resources and use leverage to solve difficult problems in today's society.

He and Cheng Zijun walked around the construction site a few times and heard a lot from the workers.

Indeed, as they had imagined, the project on this land was subcontracted to several contractors, some with large stalls, and some were private contractors who obtained construction qualifications through private means.

The origin and background of this kind of foreman is unknown, and the workers they recruit are also accustomed to stealing and cheating.It's just that they like to cuddle together, and the people in the small group are relatively young and strong, and most of the other workers hide away.There are so few who are bullied and can't stand it and want to resist and want to sue. If they don't succeed, they will be taken care of by them and they can't stay here any longer.

"Really, where there is sunshine, there is darkness."

The rising sun was a bit dazzling, Cheng Zijun stood on an open space where the steel bars had just been erected, and stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat dripping from his neck.While sighing, he put the sunglasses on his forehead back on the bridge of his nose, looking like a rich man who can't be provoked.

"Rats in the gutter," Qi Yu lowered his head and fiddled with the small device clipped to his neckline again, and casually said, "Usually they die when they see light."

"Did you take a lot of shots? Tsk tsk, it's still 4K high-definition, it's cheaper for them!" Cheng Zijun leaned up to Qi Yu's collar and took a few glances. Worry so much? Are you so well prepared?"

"...It's just modified with laboratory equipment, is it difficult?" Qi Yu's response was a bit Versailles.

Cheng Zijun was choked by him, and he was not convinced, so he just grabbed the half-shrunken bag from his friend's hand and patted it, "You even brought the cash that is rarely used now, just to collect evidence! Just take a look, don't you care?!"

"..." Qi Yu snatched the handbag back and put it under his arm, but didn't speak.

"Huh!" Cheng Zijun won a round, and he shouted joyfully, "I won't get to the bottom of it, you haven't caught up with him yet!"

"Yuzi, please work hard." He patted Qi Yu's shoulder earnestly, "When it's done, I'll have a party for you and sister-in-law at the most expensive restaurant!"

Normally, with his eyes closed, Cheng Zijun would be able to guess what kind of sharp sarcasm Qi Yu would counter with his next sentence.

But today, my friend, who has always been venomous, just took a deep look at him and said.

"If it really works...I'll open it for you."

Impossible things seem to be easy to draw.

It's just that only Qi Yu, who deliberately ignored him, knew why he would say such things even though he thought it was impossible.

The two stayed on the construction site for a while, and the project manager who received the news from his superior ran over in a panic holding his hard hat.

"The two are Cheng Shao and Qi Shao, right? I'm sorry for the long wait, I was on the other side of the field just now!"

Hearing that it was someone from the developer, the bald project manager touched his forehead and smiled flatteringly, "What do you two want to know? Let's talk while walking?"

Although the two of them looked very young, the project manager did not dare to underestimate them.

One put his hands in his hands and slapped his face with a cold face. He looked like he was not easy to mess with. Although the other was smiling, no matter the brand of sunglasses on his face or the clothes, shoes and pants with various prints on his body, there was nothing wrong with him. It was a price that he could not afford with a few months' salary.

"Our time is limited, so we won't go shopping."

Cheng Zijun brought out the arrogance of a rich man to the fullest, folded his arms and raised his chin: "I just heard that you guys viciously beat others up here yesterday. Tell us honestly, who is wrong?" The long-eyed one, did you offend my brother?"

The project manager quickly sold the offending contractor.

To be honest, he is also a part-time worker, and he usually turns a blind eye to many things.As long as it does not affect the progress of the project, he will give priority to verbal warnings.

But the two young people who came today obviously have a strong background, and the project manager doesn't want to offend anyone.Simply explain to the person, let the two of them break up, and just stay out of the matter.

He thought he was very good at counting, but he didn't know that pulling out a carrot would bring out mud.Later, when the arrears of medical expenses to the workers escalated, he, the supervisor of the headquarters, did not escape responsibility.

It's just that at this time, the project manager can still explain to Qi Yu and Cheng Zijun very slickly: "There are so many subcontractors and hundreds of workers, I really can't manage it. I heard that they are people under Lao Chen's hands. What you do is really unethical. We are all regular hired workers, and we are not into beating people!"

"Why don't you two think this is okay?" The project manager glanced at the small device on Qi Yu's chest, and smiled very politely, "If you have evidence that workers deliberately beat people to provoke trouble, you can report it directly? I guarantee the two of you that I will never cover up any bad guys! If Lao Chen instigated it, I will report it to the company immediately and disqualify him as a subcontractor!"

Another meaning of these words is - if there is no evidence, I can't make a decision, so stop comparing blindly here!

"Okay, I remember that."

Having obtained enough information, Qi Yu didn't intend to continue to argue with this kind of old man, it was meaningless.So he nodded, not wanting to say more.

But he didn't expect it to be so narrow.The person who came to his house with a stick to beat up debt collection more than ten years ago, the person who has not changed his virtue after so long, came to bully him again.

This time, he won't let it go easily.

Qi Yu was thinking about how to operate this matter to achieve the best effect. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a braided head sneaking out from behind the half-built wall not far away, as if eavesdropping on their conversation.

He thought that face looked familiar, but he didn't remember where he saw it.After searching in my mind for a long time, I finally remembered where I saw this face - in Zheng Haichuan's video.

If he remembered correctly, it was a worker who twisted steel bars on the construction site like Zheng Haichuan.It's just that this worker is very young, a girl, and Zheng Haichuan seems to call her... Juanzi.

After sending the naughty project manager away, Qi Yu led Cheng Zijun to the back of the wall.

A little girl who looked like she had just grown up was squatting there furtively.Seeing them approaching, she shrank her neck in fear, but did not run away.

"You know Zheng Haichuan."

Qi Yu didn't use interrogative sentences, but affirmative sentences.

A trace of surprise flashed across Luo Xiaojuan's youthful face exposed to the high plateau blush, as if she never thought that such a big man who talked to the supervisor would know her.But soon she nodded, "You, the beating you mentioned just now, is it about brother Da Chuan being beaten yesterday?"

Qi Yu noticed the girl's bright and worried eyes when she mentioned Zheng Haichuan, and felt unhappy.But he still said, "Yes. What do you know?"

"me……"

Luo Xiaojuan rubbed her overalls with both hands in a daze, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Dachuan, is he okay?"

Oh, that idiot, Yan Fu is not shallow!

"Can't die."

Qi Yu replied coldly.

"But it's about the same. There are not many good pieces of meat all over the body."

Luo Xiaojuan couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard the words.Is it so serious? !

"It was me... I was the one who harmed Brother Dachuan." Her eyes were clouded, and she lowered her head guiltily, "I shouldn't have told him... If he didn't come, he wouldn't be beaten!"

"What did you do?" Qi Yu's voice became very cold.

Luo Xiaojuan was startled, her shoulders shrank even more, but she still choked up and explained the whole story.

It turns out that small workers like them can stay on a construction site for a long time, unlike big workers.The labor force of small workers is relatively small, and the work they do is easy to be replaced. In many cases, it takes only one or two months to change to another construction site to take over the job, so as not to be hungry.

Luo Xiaojuan started to tie steel bars on Zheng Haichuan's construction site. After the steel bars were finished, the foreman paid her money, so she ran here to find a new way to work.

People on the construction site come and go, and the flow is too large. Many times when workers say goodbye to each other, it may be the last time they see each other in this life.But now with the Internet and social platforms, many people can keep in touch online, such as Luo Xiaojuan and Zheng Haichuan.

Luo Xiaojuan has always had a good impression of Zheng Haichuan, a reliable and kind worker brother.She knew that Zheng Haichuan was shooting videos for live broadcast, so even if he changed the construction site, she would still follow his live broadcast room, and would occasionally like Brother Da Chuan.

Later, Luo Xiaojuan saw a figure who looked like Zheng Haichuan at the current construction site. She thought Zheng Haichuan had come to work, so she happily asked him online.

As a result, Zheng Haichuan's reply made Luo Xiaojuan very sad.

Luo Xiaojuan herself is also relying on part-time jobs to support her family, so she can understand Zheng Haichuan's difficulties very well.

She asked Zheng Haichuan for photos of the foreman and boss who hired Brother Zheng's brother at the beginning, because she had selfish intentions and wanted to pay more attention to herself and stay away from these people.Second, I also want to help this fellow worker who takes good care of me.

So she promised Zheng Haichuan that if she saw the boss appear, she would notify him as soon as possible.

"Yesterday... I was almost beaten yesterday."

"Brother Dachuan pushed me and told me to run quickly. I'm fine now."

Luo Xiaojuan wiped away her tears, and asked Qi Yu with some panic and expectation, "Will those bad guys be arrested?"

She heard the conversation of a few people just now, and knew that the two of them came to help Brother Da Chuan.

"uncertain."

Qi Yu was expressionless, and said cruel words: "We don't have direct evidence now. Even if Zheng Haichuan reported to the police for an injury appraisal, there is no way to convict those people."

Luo Xiaojuan, who had never read a book, clutched her orange vest pocket tightly with both hands, and asked, "What, what is direct evidence?"

"It's the evidence that they beat up that Okawa!"

Cheng Zijun has been standing under the sun, almost dying of heat, and said impatiently, "Photos, videos, audio recordings, witnesses and physical evidence!" Discuss, "Hey, how about looking for the surveillance cameras on the construction site, maybe it will be rewarding?"

"It's useless." Qi Yu shook his head, and glanced at Luo Xiaojuan's tightly clenched hands, "Those people hang around the construction site all day long, where there is monitoring and where is the blind spot, can you not be clear?"

"Then there is no other way." Even if he had money, Cheng Zijun had nothing to do, feeling that he would not gain anything today, so he spread his hands at Qi Yu, "Going home?"

"……Um."

Qi Yu opened the handbag, took out 100 yuan from it, and stuffed it into the young girl's hand.

"Thank you for helping him."

Anyway, this girl has a good heart.

Although he is not much smarter than that idiot Zheng Haichuan.

But she's only just coming of age.While many girls her age are still enjoying campus life and shopping with friends carefree, this little girl has already started to support her family with her thin body.

Luo Xiaojuan looked down and saw the red money in her hand, she was a little dazed.

Her hand holding the money looked darker and rougher than that of the bald project manager just now, and she squeezed the banknotes tightly in a helpless manner.When Qi Yu and Cheng Zijun turned to leave, her other finger in her pocket moved convulsively, grabbing the hem of Qi Yu's clothes who was about to leave.

"if……"

"What if I say I have... direct evidence?"

"Can you send the bad guy who beat Brother Dachuan to prison?"
