Chapter 296: Hiring a Killer
Chapter 296: Hiring a Killer
After all, the truth will come out. Everyone in the transport team knew that Li Kailang was attending night school.
Everyone congratulated Li Kailang, hoping that he could bring honor to the transport team and become the first college student in the team.
They can also brag to others when they go out, which is exciting just to think about.
"Hey, did you know that I have worked with a college student before? If you don't believe me, I worked with him very closely and we were very close."
When I fantasize about bragging to my relatives and friends, I feel so satisfied when I see their stunned and unbelievable expressions.
At this time, Zhang Jinwu came out and said, "Okay, okay, let's chat for a while. Let's chat here to see if we have completed the task."
"Don't disturb Xiao Li from reading. You're wasting his time. Can you afford to compensate him?"
After hearing Zhang Jinwu's words, all the drivers went back to their tasks. Li Kailang's time was indeed more valuable than theirs.
After all, are they still waiting for Li Kailang to become a college student and go out to brag to others? The time wasted now is just wasting their time to brag and show off.
Zhang Jinwu looked at Li Kailang and said, "Xiao Li, study hard and graduate early to become a college student. My wife and I are optimistic about you. It's okay for you to go on a blind date later."
When he heard about the blind date, Li Kailang couldn't help but feel ashamed. Why was she still thinking about his blind date?
"I understand, Master. I will study hard."
Zhang Jinwu patted Li Kailang's shoulder and said, "Keep working hard!"
After saying that, Zhang Jinwu left. If you were to ask who most wanted Li Kailang to become a college student, it would be him, after all, he was Li Kailang's master.
Zhang Jinwu already has four driver apprentices, but he has long stopped pursuing any. But if he had a college student apprentice, that would be a different matter. It would be a matter of face if he told others about it.
In the old city, there is no driver who has a college student apprentice.
After the old men had left, the group of young apprentices looked at Li Kailang with shining eyes.
"Master Li is really amazing. I heard that he also came to work in the transport team right after graduating from junior high school. He has just graduated and is already attending night school. He is really awesome!"
"Yes, we can tell others about it later so that we can be proud of it. But I don't know if Master Li can concentrate on studying. Studying is so tiring, much more tiring than working."
"Yes." All the apprentices nodded in agreement.
They have just graduated from school and deeply understand the hardship and fatigue of studying. After all, when they graduate from junior high school and come out to work, either their family background is poor or their grades are poor.
Li Kailang was just like them at the beginning. He couldn't concentrate on his studies and had to work because of poor grades.
"I get paid at the end of the month from work, but I don't have money to study. It's tiring, and I have to keep my head focused on studying. I can't slack off for even a second."
"Work is still good. When I'm tired, I can be lazy. When I'm unhappy with my work, I can scold my boss. Now I can't go back to study."
After starting to work, they felt how good working is and how tiring studying is, and now they don’t want to go back to study at all. It’s also because their current jobs are easy.
After all, they are apprentices now, so it is impossible to give them too difficult work. As long as they go to work, they will get paid, and they can be lazy when they are tired.
Studying is tiring, but you can't be too lazy or you won't see any results from your learning.
When you are tired from work, you can complain and be lazy, but you cannot do that when you study.
Those who find studying easy mostly have good grades. Through their grades, they can feel the great achievement that studying brings.
"Alright, alright, stop talking and get back to work. Master Li is now the treasure of the transportation team. We are just waiting for him to graduate from the night college."
A group of apprentices left dejectedly and went to work.
"These guys are right. Why didn't I find studying so easy before?"
Li Kailang couldn't help but smile as he looked at the book in his hand. His memory had greatly improved, allowing him to quickly memorize the contents of the book.
Although I didn’t remember the deep meaning, it’s enough to remember the knowledge points.
"If I had this memory in junior high school, I wouldn't have to worry about not being able to get into high school, technical secondary school, or even college."
Thinking of this, Li Kailang smiled helplessly and then buried his head in reading.
The fact that Li Kailang was attending night school became known to many people due to the deliberate spread of the news by some people with ulterior motives.
Workshop one.
Deng Chaoquan looked at Jia Dongxu, who was slacking off at the back of the workshop, and his brows couldn't help but frown, his eyes full of disgust.
He couldn't help but yelled, "Jia Dongxu, what are you doing there! Have you finished the workpiece?"
"Oh, oh." Jia Dongxu was so scared that he dropped the wrench in his hand to the ground.
"Ding-ling-dang--" the wrench jumped and fell on Jia Dongxu's feet.
"Ouch——"
Jia Dongxu couldn't help but yelled, collapsed on the ground, and pressed hard on his big toe in his shoe.
"Jia Dongxu, why are you yelling? You are disturbing other people's work again!" Deng Chaoquan yelled and came to Jia Dongxu.
Because of Deng Chaoquan and Jia Dongxu's shouting, the fitters' hands couldn't help but tremble, and many workpieces were scrapped.
Everyone turned to look in Jia Dongxu's direction, their eyes filled with disgust.
Deng Chaoquan looked at Jia Dongxu who was stroking his toes vigorously and said with disgust:
"We are all from the same courtyard, how come some people can go to night school, while others are proud of being lazy? I really don't know what someone is thinking."
After hearing what Deng Chaoquan said, everyone looked at Jia Dongxu with sympathy.
Everyone knew that Li Kailang attended night school. After all, Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai and Li Kailang were from the same courtyard.
"Yeah, I really don't know what's going on in someone's mind. He's been promoted to a second-level worker for almost half a year, but he still can't make a second-level workpiece."
"Who knows? Maybe they deliberately don't make second-level workpieces. After all, it is much more difficult than first-level workpieces. How can it be easier than first-level workpieces?"
"That's true. If I can make a first-class workpiece, I'll do it. It's easy every day and I can get paid."
Jia Dongxu listened to everyone's derogatory words and his face turned red with anger, but he couldn't say a word in rebuttal.
Seeing that Jia Dongxu didn't dare to take the blame, Deng Chaoquan continued, "It's bad enough that something happened in our workshop, but someone didn't want to help deal with it, and actually cheated and slacked."
"Alas, the world is really going downhill, people's hearts are no longer the same as before, and they have no sense of shame at all. Why hasn't there been a person like Li Kailang in our workshop?"
Deng Chaoquan couldn't help but sigh. Because Huang Lihu and his two companions stole scrap iron and waste materials in exchange for food, the workshop was severely punished.
Not only did I not receive any benefits within half a year, but my workload was also increased by 30% for no reason.
Although I don't get any credit, my hard work has been recognized.
If someone like Li Kailang appeared in the first workshop, not only could the losses be recovered, but the punishment could also be revoked, and others might even try to curry favor with him.
Jia Dongxu and Li Kailang are from the same courtyard, so why is there such a big difference between them?
Thinking of the man who earned a job as an electrician from the unloading department, Deng Chaoquan looked at Jia Dongxu and became more and more angry.
"Jia Dongxu, have you sat enough? If not, go home and sit. Don't delay the production of the workshop and waste a day's salary."
"I've sat enough!" Jia Dongxu stood up quickly.
Deng Chaoquan scolded, "You've sat for a while, why don't you hurry up and work? Do you want me to teach you how to do it?"
Jia Dongxu picked up the tools timidly and started working.
"Hmph!" Seeing Jia Dongxu shrinking timidly, Deng Chaoquan snorted coldly and left this place of trouble.
Now Yi Zhonghai is also responsible for the maintenance of the large machines in the factory. The machines are the great treasure of the steel rolling mill and must not be lost.
If Jia Dongxu was not Yi Zhonghai's disciple, he would not consider the monk's face, but the Buddha's face; when beating a dog, one must also consider the owner.
Deng Chaoquan had to scold Jia Dongxu so harshly that he prostrated himself.
After Deng Chaoquan left, Jia Dongxu lowered his head, with a fierce red light flashing in his eyes, and he hated Li Kailang deeply.
"Li Kailang, it's Li Kailang again, why is Li Kailang everywhere? If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have so many problems. It's all Li Kailang's fault!"
"Li! Kai! Lang!" Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, wanting revenge.
But Jia Dongxu understood the gap between him and Li Kailang. Even Sha Zhu couldn't beat Li Kailang, so how could he possibly beat him?
Since you can't beat Li Kailang, then beat someone who can beat you.
"Deng Chaoquan!" Jia Dongxu raised his head and looked at Deng Chaoquan who was on patrol, a murderous gleam in his eyes.
"Deng Chaoquan, you are the one who talks about me every day. You are the only one who dares to talk about me. If I kill you, no one will dare to talk about me anymore."
Suddenly, Jia Dongxu felt someone was watching him and immediately turned around. It was Yi Zhonghai.
Jia Dongxu was so scared that he immediately lowered his head to hide the murderous look in his eyes.
Yi Zhonghai looked at the deadly light emanating from Jia Dongxu and instantly understood what he meant. A ripple appeared in his heart and he looked at Deng Chaoquan.
"Since Jia Dongxu wants you dead, then you should die. I don't have to do anything. You already have a way to die."
Deng Chaoquan belittles Jia Dongxu again and again, which is also belittlement for him.
"I used to be a level 7 worker, and above me were level 8 workers and senior engineers. I just let them talk about it, and I won't mind if you bully me."
"I have no one to command me now. I am the most powerful person in the steel mill. Even Director Yang has to respect me. How dare you, a workshop director, say such things about Jia Dongxu again and again?"
"You are looking down on me and hurting my reputation. Do you really think I have no temper?" Yi Zhonghai said viciously. He had experienced turbulent times and had long since become indifferent to life and death. To be able to live to this day, his hands must have been somewhat unclean.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai smiled sinisterly, but when he looked at Jia Dongxu, his eyes were full of disgust.
"What was I thinking in the beginning? I actually agreed to accept Jia Dongxu, this bitch. Just because of this piece of trash, my reputation has been ruined."
"You have been working as a first-class worker for so many years, and you didn't even try hard after becoming a second-class worker. If it weren't for Bang Geng, I would have already gotten you."
After thinking about it for a while, Yi Zhonghai realized that something was wrong and immediately shook his head to get rid of this bad idea.
"This is Bangteng's father. You can't do this. You can't do this."
Yi Zhonghai quickly hinted to himself, but he didn't care whether Jia Dongxu lived or died.
Jia Dongxu was afraid of being discovered by Yi Zhonghai, so he quickly started making the workpiece, pretending nothing had happened.
But he was thinking of a way to get rid of Deng Chaoquan without implicating himself.
"Who can handle this?" Jia Dongxu thought while working on the workpiece.
His indecisive behavior naturally resulted in the scrapping of many workpieces.
Jia Dongxu didn't care about this. Even if Deng Chaoquan came to scold him, he just took it without refutation or talking back.
Looking at the furious Deng Chaoquan, Jia Dongxu felt as if he was looking at a dead person.
"Hiss, why do I suddenly feel a little cold? This shouldn't be the case, so early in the morning." Deng Chaoquan couldn't help but shiver.
"I got it. It just so happens that those people have dirty hands. If we pay them, we can find them to do the job."
Jia Dongxu suddenly thought of a good helper, someone he met while gambling.
Last year, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu returned to the countryside. He took the opportunity to go to the casino to play a few games and met some shady and idle people.
"Deng Chaoquan, your master has been decided." Jia Dongxu smiled sinisterly.
"Ding-ling-ling--" As the bell for getting off work rang, Jia Dongxu couldn't wait to leave.
"Hey, what does Jia Dongxu mean by this? He is so active after get off work, but not so active at work. Is he in a hurry to reincarnate?" Deng Chaoquan cursed loudly.
When Yi Zhonghai passed by him, he looked at him coldly and walked away.
Looking at Jia Dongxu's gradually receding back, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Jia Dongxu came to the place where he had gambled before, with familiarity. However, it was still daylight and the casino was closed, so Jia Dongxu waited outside the door.
The sky gradually darkened, and soon there was no light in the sky.
Many people came to the outside of the casino one after another, and Jia Dongxu met the person he wanted to see.
"Brother Zuo, Brother Xiong, Brother Lang." Jia Dongxu hurried over and called them.
The three men looked ferocious, and their aura was so chilling that people dared not provoke them.
These three people are the casino's thugs, who maintain order in the casino and do some "small business" by the way.
"Kid, what do you want from us? If you dare to tease us, you know the consequences." Brother Xiong said viciously.
He was tall and fat, similar to a bear, all his life, no wonder he was called Brother Bear.
Jia Dongxu: "Brothers, I have a business deal. Do you want to do it?"
Brother Wolf was curious: "Oh, what business?"
There is a long scar on Brother Wolf’s face, which looks like it was scratched.
Jia Dongxu looked around and said, "Three brothers, it's not convenient to talk here. Can we change places?"
"Okay." Brother Zuo, who was in the lead, said.
The four of them moved to another place to talk.
"Boy, there is no one around here, so you can go about your business, right?" Brother Wolf said.
"Three brothers, I wonder how much money it would take for you to do this?" Jia Dongxu said, making a gesture as if he was wiping his neck.
The three of them immediately showed curious expressions, "What hatred do you have with him? It has come to this."
Jia Dongxu's eyes flashed with ferocity: "This kid keeps scolding me. I've put up with him for several years, but I can't stand it anymore."
The three of them looked at Jia Dongxu, and Brother Xiong said, "That guy is unlucky to have run into you. You want him dead so badly, it seems like you really hate that guy."
"Who do you want to kill? Do you have any photos? Any information?" Brother Wolf said calmly.
Hearing what Brother Wolf said, Jia Dongxu's eyes lit up, and he immediately told him all of Deng Chaoquan's background, including his address and where he usually went.
"Workshop director, Deng Chaoquan, in his 40s."
Hearing these words, the three of them instantly pictured the victim's appearance, body shape, and most importantly, ability to resist.
Jia Dongxu added: "By the way, he likes to play mahjong. He will be back very late tomorrow weekend. You can do it on his way home."
Jia Dongxu told Deng Chaoquan in great detail where he went to play mahjong and the route he took.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to hate him so much. You can tell me such details. It seems you have hated him for a long time." Brother Xiong said.
"Hehe." Jia Dongxu smiled sinisterly, "By the way, three big brothers, how much do you want?"
Brother Xiong and Brother Wolf looked at Brother Zuo who was in the lead, only to see him lower his head and think for a while, then slowly stretched out three fingers.
"300 yuan, plus 100 kilograms of food."
Hearing the remuneration, Jia Dongxu frowned. The offer was a bit high.
This was the first time he had done this and he didn't know the specific market conditions.
Brother Wolf: "Boy, don't think it's expensive. The one you want to kill is not some random person, but the director of the steel mill."
"The steel mill has security guards and they have guns. If we kill Deng Chaoquan, we will be in a lot of trouble and will have to hide for a while."
Hearing this, Jia Dongxu nodded. That makes sense.
After all, the people killed were from the steel mill, so the reward must be considerable. But this food thing is the first time I've heard of it.
"It's just that this food didn't seem to be available before?"
Brother Wolf said, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. We need to eat even if we are hiding. Food is precious now. Do you want us to hide on an empty stomach?"
"Do you agree to this offer?"
The main reason is that food is hard to get now, and they also need to make a living.
Jia Dongxu thought about the hundreds of kilograms of grain in the cellar. For others, that would be something that would require careful consideration.
But for him, giving out a hundred kilograms of food was no big deal.
As for the money, that's easy to deal with. At worst, I can steal the money hidden by Jia Zhang.
"Okay, I agree. When will you start?"
Brother Zuo: "You pay the reward first. We will have our own plan on when to start. We don't need you to tell us what to do!"
"Yes, that's what Big Brother said."
Hearing Brother Zuo's scolding, Jia Dongxu lowered his head quickly, but a fierce light flashed in his eyes, otherwise he could not beat the man.
Jia Dongxu raised his head and smiled, "Okay, I'll bring the money and food over later, probably late at night, and we'll still trade here."
"But this is not a glorious thing after all. If you fail, you can't give me away."
Jia Dongxu didn't want to pay both money and grain, but in the end he failed and had to give him away.
Brother Xiong laughed and said, "Boy, we know the rules of this business very well. We don't need you to teach us. Just go back and get the money and food."
"After paying the money and grain, we will take care of the people. Just go back and wait for good news."
"Yes, yes, Brother Xiong is right. It's me, Meng Lang, who was wrong. I will go back and get it now." Jia Dongxu apologized with a smile.
After saying this, he turned and left to get money and food.
After Jia Dongxu left, Brother Wolf looked at his eldest brother who had been silent.
Brother Wolf said: "Brother, the look in that kid's eyes just now, he must want to kill us, how about we..."
Brother Zuo waved his hand and said, "No need. Killing this kind of person is a waste of time and will cause us trouble for nothing."
"Given this kid's vindictive heart, we will definitely need his business in the future. Ignore him for now and keep making money."
Hearing this, the two nodded. They were very familiar with Jia Dongxu's little tricks.
Jia Dongxu thought that he could hide the hatred in his eyes by lowering his head, but he didn't know that they had reached the level where they could sense the murderous intent without looking into their eyes.
