"Boss Ye, it's not that I want to keep them, but I just can't persuade them. If I can't drive them away, I can't just forcibly expel them. Also, although we don't need their help, it's different from the trouble at the beginning. The villagers of Beishan Village can still help us a lot, such as helping out. They also made a lot of efforts to speed up our construction progress!"
Under Ye Chen's question, Wang Meng hurriedly asked.
But while talking, I still couldn't avoid the embarrassment of not knowing how to explain.
After all, Ye Chen had repeatedly told him not to use the labor force of Beishan Village at the beginning.
"From what you said, you really hope they stay on the construction site, right?" Ye Chen said.
"No, no, no, Mr. Ye, that's absolutely not what I meant! I just had no other choice, so I let them take the initiative to show their courtesy..." Wang Meng explained quickly.
"Boss Ye, we are all willing to help. Really, everyone in Beishan Village came here to help. Just like we said just now, your training base here is good news for our Beishan Village. Your special training base is the patron saint of our Beishan Village. So everyone in Beishan Village really wants to do something for you. But after thinking about it, we can't help you in any other way except physical strength. So please give us a chance to work hard, Boss Ye!"
As soon as Wang Meng finished speaking, the yellow-haired man with flowery arms spoke in a very professional manner.
What gospel, what patron saint, there is no sense of incongruity in what they say.
But Ye Chen got goosebumps when he heard it.
"Did Ma Zi teach you to say that? Did Ma Zi order you to come here?" Ye Chen said.
"No, no, these have nothing to do with Uncle Seventh! They are all from our bottom of our hearts!" the yellow-haired man with flowery arms said hurriedly.
Think about it.
Looking at the other person's earnest face.
Ye Chen finally did not expel them.
He turned to Wang Meng and said, "Wang Meng, how do you calculate their wages?"
"No, Mr. Ye, we don't want money, we don't want money, please don't pay us. If you want to pay us, then what will happen to us?" The yellow-haired man with flowery arms became anxious.
After all, this was a strict order from Li Hongtao, the seventh uncle who has the longest seniority in Beishan Village, so who would dare to ask for the salary?
"Mr. Ye, I haven't calculated their wages yet. They came here to help, but they never talked about money from beginning to end, so I haven't discussed the wages with them yet!" Wang Meng felt more and more embarrassed.
"Boss Ye, we don't want money, we really don't want money!
Before Ye Chen could respond.
This time, not only the man with flowery arms and yellow hair, but even the middle-aged woman was shaking her head and waving her hands anxiously.
It was because Uncle Seven Li Hongtao had said that anyone who dared to ask Ye Chen for money would be slapping him in the face. Not only would they no longer receive dividends from the village, but if anyone needed Li Hongtao's help, they would be told to get out of the village. Li Hongtao even threatened to expel them from the village, and they would no longer be a part of Beishan Village...
Under the threat of Li Hongtao, dare to ask for money? You are kidding! However, Ye Chen ignored them.
He continued to ask Wang Meng, "Compared to those small workers, how do these people perform?"
"Working harder than a laborer!" Wang Meng said truthfully.
"Then just pay them as laborers!" Ye Chen shook his head. He was unwilling to owe such a favor which was worthless. "Okay, Mr. Ye!"
As Wang Meng nodded in response.
The flower-armed yellow-haired man and the middle-aged woman were in a panic, "Boss Ye, no!"
"What? Is Ma Zi threatening you? He doesn't allow you to collect the money?" Ye Chen laughed.
The young man with tattoos and the middle-aged woman looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.
Obviously, no one dared to disclose Li Hongtao's warning to them.
Seeing this, Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I will let Wang Meng talk to Ma Zi. He won't do anything to you, and he dare not do anything to you! If you really don't want to accept this money, that's fine, go home separately. To put it bluntly, the construction site has a planned schedule, and your labor force is not a big deal!"
"Then, then Mr. Ye, can you ask Mr. Wang to talk to Uncle Seventh?" The yellow-haired man with flowery arms hesitated and said timidly and tentatively.
"I'll call him later!" Wang Meng responded immediately.
Little did he know that the words had just fallen.
The cell phone in my pocket started ringing.
Not someone else.
It was Li Hongtao, the pockmarked man, who had hardly any phone contact with him! "Hmm? Li Hongtao?"
See caller notes.
Wang Meng frowned suddenly.
Is this too much of a coincidence?
"Pick it up and see what he says!" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows. "Yeah!"
Next second.
Wang Meng pressed the answer button.
First, "What's going on?"
Li Hongtao's panicked voice came from the other end of the phone. This lasted for a full five minutes.
Wang Meng didn't say another word.
It was not until the end of the call that I said, "I understand."
As for the topic of Beishan Village villagers, he didn't mention it at all. He watched Wang Meng hang up the phone.
The yellow-haired man with flowery arms and the middle-aged woman also looked at him eagerly.
He seemed curious about what Li Hongtao said on the other end of the phone just now.
But Wang Meng just waved his hand and drove them away.
After the two villagers left embarrassedly.
Ye Chen couldn't help but frowned and asked, "What did he say?"
"Boss Ye, he said that he is in trouble because the inspection team moved into Jiangzhou, which resulted in the uprooting of all the connections behind him. Now he is panicking because the protector behind him has been arrested. He is now worried about being liquidated. Once he is liquidated, even if he has not committed any murder, he will definitely not be able to escape eight or ten years in prison for all the evil deeds he has done!" Wang Meng reported.
"Well, go on!" Ye Chen's face darkened slightly.
Although let Wang Meng continue speaking.
But from his expression, it seemed that he had already seen through Li Hongtao's intention of calling Wang Meng.
"He, he wants you to help him, begging you to help him through this disaster. As long as you are willing to help him, you can set any conditions and let him pay half of it.
He is willing to give away all his wealth! He also said that he has turned over a new leaf and hopes that Mr. Ye can help him get a chance to start a new life! "Wang Meng said.
However.
Ye Chen shook his head jokingly.
"It turns out that Li Hongtao was waiting for me here by being so attentive to me! But doesn't he think too highly of himself and me? He and I have no relationship at all, but he dares to say such a thing to me? Moreover, once the supervision team targets his troubles, how can they be easily settled? Don't say that I don't have the ability. Even if I really have the ability, I won't be so stupid as to help him clean up his mess! If he thinks he can take credit for this matter on the construction site by asking me for help, then he is really naive!"
"Then Mr. Ye, how should I reply to him? Or should I just ignore him?" Wang Meng thought for a while and said.
"No, call him back later!" "What should I say?"
