The two returned to the yard laughing and joking.

"I'm back so late and everything is closed? What should I do?"

Xu Damao looked at the closed courtyard gate. There were not as many entertainment activities as in later times.

Around eight or nine o'clock, the gate will be closed.

"What else can we do? Call for help." Li Kailang spread his hands.

"Okay." Xu Damao went to the direction of the wall where Yan Bugui was.

"Uncle, are you asleep? Please open the door for us."

I don't know why the key to the courtyard gate should be handed over to Yan Jiecheng. Can't it be handed over to the person living in the back house?

"Hey, who is it?" Yan Bugui got up in a daze after being woken up and responded weakly.

"It's me, Xu Damao, and Li Kailang."

Yan Bugui really didn't want to get up, so he told Yan Jiecheng, who had already stood up, "Hey, Jiecheng, go open the door."

"Got it." Yan Jiecheng took the key and went out, opened the gate and let the two in.

I smelled alcohol coming from the two men, and saw Li Kailang wearing a Zhongshan suit and holding a box of snacks in his hand.

Yan Jiecheng was very curious about what the two were doing.

"Where have you two been? Why did you come back so late and drink? What good things have you done? Tell me."

When Yan Jiecheng was selling tickets on the bus, he saw Li Kailang in formal attire riding a bicycle and he was very curious.

I have been waiting until now, and finally Li Kailang has come back.

If there is a good thing happening, I will definitely get involved.

Xu Damao looked at Li Kailang and asked, "Can we talk about this?"

It was Xu Damao's first time to attend the Lou family dinner, although he was a staff member and the restaurant did not ask for confidentiality.

If he had attended alone, he would have definitely used it as a talking point to publicize it, but since Li Kailang also attended, it would be hard to say.

Li Kailang thought for a moment and said, "I didn't do anything good. It was the birthday of a rich friend of mine, and I went to celebrate the birthday. Xu Damao went to work."

This statement was both true and false. Xu Damao understood what it meant and immediately agreed.

"Yes, that's right. It's nothing good. You think too much."

"You two are kidding me. What kind of situation is this? There's not enough food to eat. Who would celebrate a birthday when they can't even eat well? Don't fool me, you two."

Yan Jiecheng didn't want to hear any nonsense and was determined to get to the bottom of it.

Li Kailang explained: "That's it. Don't overthink it. They are very rich and have more food than they can eat. A little food is not a big deal for them."

Xu Damao nodded in agreement: "That's right, you don't know what kind of life rich people live. I have seen it."

Before joining, Xu Damao thought that capitalists also lived a hard life, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that he was overthinking it. They were very rich and were major shareholders of the factory.

The factory would send food to them every month, so how could they not be hungry? The most they would do was go from having big meals of fish and meat every day to only one meal every three days.

"Don't fool me, I don't believe you, just tell me the truth, what did you do?"

Seeing Yan Jiecheng being so rude, Li Kailang didn't bother to talk nonsense.

He can't even understand such obviously perfunctory words, but he still insists on digging deeper. Such a tactless person should just stop talking nonsense.

"It's getting late. I'm going back first. I have to go to work tomorrow." After saying that, Li Kailang left.

Xu Damao followed suit: "Wait for me."

"No, I haven't told you yet." Yan Jiecheng was unwilling to give up and grabbed Xu Damao.

"Yan Jiecheng, don't ask anymore. I don't know even if you ask." After saying that, Xu Damao broke free from his hand and left quickly.

When Yan Jiecheng saw that he was ignored by the two, he instantly became furious.

"Humph, what's there to hide? What's so great about it? Do you really think I need to know?"

"Damn it, just wait. I'll remember this. From now on, I'll make sure you guys can't afford me anymore! Beg me!"

When Li Kailang heard this when he got home, he sneered, "Forget it, find a proper job first."

Li Kailang didn't want to say it, still because of their different social status.

You are not from the same class. Besides, this is Director Ren Lou's dinner party. Why are you, a person who was not invited, asking so many detailed questions? Are you checking my household registration?
Besides, those who go there are all capitalists and wealthy people. What’s the use of you, Yan Jiecheng? You have no money, so how can you chat with them?

Li Kailang couldn't even chat with them, so what could Yan Jiecheng do if he went there? It would be good enough if he didn't cause any trouble.

He has no self-awareness at all and always wants to be the best.

Steel rolling mill.

When he came to work early in the morning, Wan Shen went to find him and said that Director Yang wanted to see him about something.

"What's the matter again?" Puzzled, Li Kailang came to the office of Director Yang.

Before I got close, I heard a voice coming from inside.

"Old Qian, you are so dishonest. I thought you had something good to ask me, but it was this. You want someone? It's not impossible, but you have to exchange something for him."

"What do you want to change?"

"I see that several level 8 workers in your factory are very jealous. How about switching?"

"Lao Yang, this is really unfair of you. My factory depends on these two level 8 workers to maintain its reputation. If you take them away, how dare I not work?"

"Look at what you said. In our city of Sijiu, anyone can be transferred without them. They are just two eighth-level workers. They are nothing."

"That's enough. I see you really don't want to give it to me. I'm hanging up now!"

Director Yang hung up the phone and sneered, "You want to pick peaches? That's wishful thinking. I have worked so hard to train talents for so long, and you want to leave with just one word."

"If you don't exchange it for treasure, how can such a good thing happen? You want to get something for nothing? You are really ugly and play tricks."

Outside the door, Wan Shen knocked on the door after hearing no movement from inside.

"Enter."

Li Kailang walked straight in, and Wan Shen worked outside.

After coming here so many times, Wan Shen was too lazy to come in.

"Xiao Li, come and sit down." Director Yang greeted him warmly.

"Director Yang, what do you want from me?"

"It's nothing important. How have you been lately? You don't have any difficulties with your studies. Do you need any help?"

Director Yang asked about my health and chatted for a while before getting down to business.

"Xiao Li, did you attend the Lou family's dinner yesterday?"

"Yes." Li Kailang pretended to be panicked and stood up. "Director Yang, is there something special about the Lou family dinner? Is there something that cannot be told?"

"Hey, sit down, sit down." Director Yang patted his shoulder soothingly.

"You worry too much. There is nothing that cannot be said. The Lou family's dinner is a common event. They hold it every year. It's just that it's the Lou family's turn now."

"Is that so?" Li Kailang pretended to be relieved, but he was still worried. "Director Yang, please don't fool me. Is there really no trick here?"

Director Yang smiled mysteriously: "Really not, you think too much."

Looking at his expression, Li Kailang felt uneasy. If nothing was wrong, why would he have such an expression?
"Not really."

"Really? You're worrying too much." Director Yang patted his shoulder again.

The two poles have reversed, and now Li Kailang has become Yan Jiecheng. It can be said that fortune has changed.

Li Kailang finally asked tentatively: "Really?"

Director Yang still had that mysterious expression on his face: "Don't ask me. I don't know even if you ask me."

Oh no, Li Kailang has completely given up and can't ask any more questions.

"By the way, there is a big job in the factory recently. We need to go to Jincheng to transport the machine that the department bought for our factory. So you can take the trouble to transport the machine."

"Okay, let's go."

"only you."

"Me alone? This is against the rules and procedures." Li Kailang pointed at himself.

"Alas, rules are dead, but people are alive. It's just a machine. We can't mobilize a large number of troops to do it. How much food would that cost?"

"Besides, you've been there a few times, so you have some experience. Let's just say it's settled. I'll give you two days. Leave tomorrow. Don't rush back, and be careful."

"Call me when you get there and I'll have someone contact you. Go back and get ready. Hurry up and finish today's mission."

After saying that, Director Yang pushed Li Kailang out of the office.

Just like that, Li Kailang left without knowing why, and took a job before leaving.

"Ding-ling-ling——" The phone rang again.

"I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you any more."

With a bang, Director Yang closed the door. "Hello, who is this?"

"It's you, kid. Why did you call me suddenly?"

"What? I didn't hear you clearly. Please say it again. What? I didn't hear you clearly. Please say it again."

"You are talking about Li Kailang? I have never heard of him. Don't ask me. I really don't know. There is no such person in my factory. Did you hear wrongly?"

"I heard you right, are you lying to me?"

"Click!" He hung up the phone again.

Director Yang smiled smugly: "You want to ask me for someone? That's a nice thought. You even want to come here in person to ask for it. I have already arranged for the person to come. I guarantee that you will come back empty-handed. It's useless to ask for it."

Return to the transport team.

As soon as Li Kailang came back, Zhang Fen asked curiously, "Xiao Li, why did Director Yang look for you? You look so worried. Did Director Yang bully you?"

"Did you get it?"

"No? Then why are you so sad? What happened?"

'Not really.'

"No, then why are you worried?"

"I want to know too, but I don't know what I'm worried about. Don't ask me. I won't know even if you ask me." Li Kailang said worriedly.

Director Yang deliberately didn't say anything so that he couldn't guess what was going on. He didn't know what he was worried about or why he suddenly became so sentimental.

I can't draw any conclusions just by eavesdropping on the phone call.

"By the way, Director Yang gave me a task. I won't be here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so I have to make a trip."

"Okay, I understand." Zhang Fen nodded.

"Okay, I don't want to chat with you anymore. There is still a task to be completed." Li Kailang accepted the task and drove away.

at the same time.

Jia family.

The four members of the Jia family were staying in the side room of Yi Zhonghai's house.

Although the side room is not big, it can barely accommodate the daily life of their family of four. When they need to cook, they can just go back home to do it, which is convenient.

The workers that Jia Dongxu hired a few days ago have finally arrived to do the renovation. They were busy the past few days, but they finally have some time to come over.

The cost of this renovation was paid for by Jia Zhang, and Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were particularly generous in spending it.

The house, which had not been renovated for more than ten years, was completely renovated.

So-called renovation means nothing more than filling up the gaps, ensuring they are firm, and repainting the faded walls.

Although the project was not large, it cost quite a bit of money.

Qin Huairu had thought about having an indoor toilet like Li Kailang, but unfortunately the Jia family’s house was not that big.

As soon as the workers arrived, Qin Huairu asked them to start working. She watched from the side, not looking at them, but at the cracks, muttering to herself.

"There should be no place to hide the money. I have searched for it several times. It is impossible to find it."

"It's a pity that Dongxu's private money was not found, otherwise there would be more."

She has been very busy these days, trying to find out the money of Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu.

I turned almost the entire house upside down and searched inside and out four or five times.

The harvest was indeed fruitful. She found a lot of money hidden by Jia Zhang, totaling nearly two hundred yuan, which she now held tightly in her hands.

On the contrary, not a single cent of Jia Dongxu's money was found, which made Qin Huairu feel that it must be her who did not find it.

"Master Wang, thank you for your hard work. Please use more solid materials. The wall is cracked. If it is not repaired, how can we live in the house in the future? Thank you for your hard work."

Upon hearing this, Master Wang stopped what he was doing.

"Boss, don't worry, we do our work in a very solid way. If you ask around, everyone in the surrounding area will say that our craftsmanship is excellent."

"Yes, yes, that's right. That's why I feel comfortable asking you for help. Could you please do me one more favor?" Qin Huairu nodded.

"Please tell me, as long as we can do it, we will do our best."

Suddenly, Qin Huairu's eyes became moist and she narrated her experience with tears in sorrow.

"You don't know, my damn husband actually found a little woman behind my back. He thought I was in the dark, but in fact, I knew everything."

"It's just that for the sake of this family and my children, I have to turn a deaf and dumb."

As soon as these words were spoken, Master Wang and the other workers became furious.

"Hey, what a piece of shit, actually looking for a woman, what a piece of shit."

Everyone stood up for Qin Huairu and scolded Jia Dongxu.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly dissuaded them, "Don't scold him, it's all my fault. For the sake of this family and the children, I don't want to divorce him."

"But if he continues like this, our family will really fall apart."

At this point, Qin Huairu's eyes revealed a hint of determination:
"I know he has hidden some private money at home. Please help me find it while you are renovating."

"As long as the money is found, he won't have money to go out and find women, and this family will be stable."

After saying this, Qin Huairu burst into tears, which immediately aroused the sympathy of the workers.

"Don't worry, sister. Leave this matter to us and we promise to find it for you."

"That's right, I'll make sure he doesn't have a penny!"

Qin Huairu was so moved that she didn't know what to say. She bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your trouble. Thank you so much!"

All of a sudden, all the workers seemed to be energized. Master Wang raised his arm and shouted, "Comrades, we must find out the private money today. Do you hear me?"

"I heard it!" The workers' eyes were like those of hawks, searching every corner carefully, not missing any place where private money might be hidden.

Looking at the workers working so hard, Qin Huairu raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

In the corner, a worker was carefully searching every inch of the place where money might be hidden, when he suddenly discovered something unusual.

One brick seemed to be a little different from the surrounding bricks, the color was slightly old, and it was a little loose when touched lightly.

"Money can be hidden here." The worker had an idea and continued pretending to search while observing the surrounding situation out of the corner of his eye.

"No one's looking, you can take it."

After confirming that neither the workers nor Qin Huairu noticed his actions, he quietly turned around and looked at the strange brick again.

He carefully stretched out his hand, gently took out the brick, and a stack of small money appeared in front of him.

"There's money, and quite a lot of it." He was delighted and quickly took the money and put the bricks back in place.

Looking down at the money in his hand, he found that there were dozens of dollars. "Should I pay it back?"

After a fierce ideological struggle, she decisively put the money in her pocket, "Anyway, as long as the money is not used by her husband, it will be the same for me."

"It just so happens that I am short of money too. Wouldn't it be better if you could help me?"

This worker is from Master Wang's team, but a temporary worker.

Because there were too many people looking for them to do their renovations, Master Wang simply divided the original group into two groups, and hired refugees as temporary workers to fill the vacancies.

At this time, Qin Huairu was staring at the workers' every move, and her peripheral vision also noticed the worker's unusual behavior.

"Master, have you found it?" Qin Huairu asked tentatively.

He was startled and panicked, but he pretended to be calm: "I didn't find it. I looked carefully here and didn't see any place to hide the money."

"Really?" Qin Huairu was a little suspicious of the person in front of her, but she was not sure and it was not easy to search him. "Then please look for him again, Master."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll tell you as soon as I find the money." He agreed quickly.

"Thank you for your help." Qin Huairu thanked her and turned to leave.

He turned around immediately and let out a long breath, "Fortunately no one saw it, hehe, the money is mine."

After getting the money smoothly, he worked harder than Qin Huairu. With his eyes as sharp as torches, he frantically searched every corner of the room for places where money might be hidden.

Unfortunately, he didn't find it, and the same thing happened to the other workers. They worked hard for the whole morning but found nothing.

"Masters, stop looking and start working. We probably have no money left."

Finally, Qin Huairu gave up and let the workers start the formal decoration work.

The temporary worker quietly hid the money in his hand, feeling secretly proud of himself.

By the time Jia Dongxu discovered that his money had been stolen, the temporary worker had already left.

Only he was left alone, feeling sad, and Qin Huairu, who was in high spirits.

Qin Huairu's stock price had increased so much, and it was the first time she had received so much money. She thought she could hold the money for a long time, but unfortunately, she could only hold it for ten days or half a month.

As for why, it is because Jia Zhang is coming back.
