    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    The project is very tight, there are only less than 20 days left, and suddenly no workers can be found at this time...

    Zhuo Shao knew that Tang Tianqing would be unwilling to take over Shen Xinghuo's project, but he never thought that Tang Tianqing would use such a trick...

    This was something Zhuo Shao had never encountered before.

    When he was released from prison ten years later, the decoration market was very mature, and it was not as chaotic as it is now. Although the competition among the decoration companies in the provincial capital was great, no one would use such a method, and no one could use it. such means.

    At that time, in the provincial capital, no one could monopolize the entire decoration industry, and in the provincial capital, there were a lot of people who wanted to renovate. As long as the company had a good reputation, there was no shortage of customers at all.

    But now...

    Zhuo Shao was in a really bad mood, but he wasn't too worried.

    In this world, as long as you have money, are you afraid that you will not be able to find workers?

    Even if the workers in Fuyang County are unwilling to help him, isn't that the case in the next county?

    These days, many of the local people in Fuyang County are still living in this small county town, and they have never seen the outside world. They are looking for someone to decorate their home. Naturally, they will only look for nearby ones, but Zhuo Shao Different.

    In Zhuo Shao's view, the provincial capital is not far away.

    Don’t look at the fact that it takes more than an hour, or even two hours, from Fuyang County to go to the provincial capital. In the future, when the expressway opens, it will definitely take an hour to go to the provincial capital from here!

    Of course, if you go to a certain place after arriving in the provincial capital... the provincial capital is always stuck in traffic, and it is normal to be stuck on the streets of the provincial capital for an hour or two.

    And if you take the high-speed rail... from Fuyang County to the provincial capital, it will only take ten minutes!

    His decoration company is located in the provincial capital, but he once took over projects farther than Fuyang County. In the end, he still drove the workers to work every day without any delay?

    He couldn't find workers here in Fuyang County, so he had to look elsewhere.

    It's a pity that today he made an appointment with Shen Xinghuo to see the wall and floor tiles, but he couldn't walk away.

    When Zhuo Shao asked the woodworker to go back to work, and took out the phone book to call the woodworkers who had promised to come to work, Shen Xinghuo came.

    Shen Xinghuo opened a restaurant in Fuyang County, that is because he knew many bosses in Fuyang County, even because his restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Fuyang County, he has no rich people in Fuyang County. know.

    He knew so many people, of course he could not have known what Tang Tianqing did.

    At this moment, his face was not very good-looking, and as soon as he came in, he looked at Zhuo Shao anxiously: "I heard that those carpenters are unwilling to come to work? What should I do now?"

    "Mr. Shen, don't worry, if you can't find a carpenter nearby, you can call some carpenters from the provincial capital." Zhuo Shao said.

    "Call the woodworker from the provincial capital? Is it okay?" Shen Xinghuo asked curiously when Zhuo Shao said that.

    The provincial capital... how far is it!

    "Of course it can, but the expenses on my side may be a little bigger, and I will rent a house for the workers to live in." Zhuo Shao said: "Mr. Shen can rest assured that since the contract has been signed, these are all our business, I will handle it."

    "That's good." Shen Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. At the same time, he felt more and more that it was the right choice to ask Zhuo Shao to do this project.

    In the past, he cooperated with Tang Tianqing and halfway through the decoration, Tang Tianqing began to find various reasons to increase the price for him, which really annoyed him.

    The last time his house was renovated, it clearly had two balconies and two bathrooms. On the list given to him, he asked for ten floor drains!

    Even if floor drains have to be installed inside and outside the shower room in the bathroom, it won't be so much...

    Well, this is what the worker did in private, but even so, it was enough to give him a bad impression of Tang Tianqing's company.

    "Mr. Shen, except for such things, the thing you agreed with before to see the floor tiles should be slowed down..." Zhuo Shao said with a smile, but he was only halfway through his words when he was suddenly interrupted.

    "Zhuo Shao!" A loud voice sounded, and at the same time, a fat man walked in from the door.

    "Zhuo Shao, it's really you! Aren't you still in junior high school? Why didn't you go to school and come to do decoration?" Zhuo Jiabao looked at Zhuo Shao with malicious eyes.

    Zhuo Shao's face turned black.

    He didn't have time to pay attention to these people for the time being, so he just let it go. He didn't even ask for the money they owed him. As a result... this person came to the door?

    "Boss Shen, I heard that you asked Zhuo Shao to help you decorate? Do you know that he is only sixteen this year, and he is still in the third year of junior high school!"

    "Boss Shen, if you find someone who doesn't have enough hair to do the decoration for you, are you not afraid that he will make a mess for you?"

    "Boss Shen, you are so courageous!"

    ...

    Zhuo Jiabao's face was full of pride, and he talked a lot like a cannonball.

    These words, someone gave him money, let him say.

    Since Zhuo Shao stole the money from their family and even refused to let them collect the rent, his life has been getting worse and worse.

    In the past, every time asked Qu Guixiang for money, could always ask for twenty or thirty dollars, but now, Qu Guixiang can give ten yuan at a time, which is very good!

    Zhuo Jiabao is so poor now that he can't afford to go to the Internet cafe at all, so he can only stand behind others and watch others surf the Internet. Under such circumstances, even if he is afraid of Zhuo Shao, he still comes.

    Even, he felt that he no longer had to be afraid of Zhuo Shao.

    The person who came to him was a respectable person in Fuyang County. He helped that person with affairs, and that person would always protect him and prevent him from having an accident!

    Zhuo Jiabao thought so, and then he straightened his chest again, and the chest that could have a C cup on his chest trembled.

    Zhuo Shao was a little speechless.

    At the same time, it can be regarded as a deeper understanding of the Zhuo family.

    He is not yet sixteen! They don't even remember his age!

    Speaking of which, it's a good thing that he was not yet sixteen years old. After murdering, he was only sentenced for more than ten years. Later, his good behavior was commuted, and he was released from prison after ten years.

    Zhuo Shao was speechless, but Shen Xinghuo looked at Zhuo Shao in surprise.

    Zhuo Shao is only sixteen? Still in middle school? how can that be!

    When Shen Xinghuo met Zhuo Shao for the first time, he also felt that Zhuo Shao was too young, but after talking with Zhuo Shao later, he felt that Zhuo Shao should only be tender, and his actual age was probably not too young.

    If he was really young, how could he know so many things?

    Because of this, when he signed the contract, he saw that Zhuo Shao had just turned 18, and Shen Xinghuo also sighed a few words about a hero being a teenager, but now, someone told him that Zhuo Shao was not an adult.

    "Zhuo Shao is my cousin. Our Zhuo family has three generations of ancestors, and there are not many successful people, let alone any rich relatives. Among the relatives, there are not even people who can do carpentry, let alone open doors in the provincial capital. It's from the decoration company! Boss Shen, don't be deceived by him!" Zhuo Jiabao said again.

    "Zhuo Jiabao, have you said enough?" Zhuo Shao frowned.

    "I didn't say enough! Boss Shen, everything I said is true. This Zhuo Shao lived in my house before, but now he lives in a classmate's house, and he doesn't understand decoration at all." Zhuo Jiabao said.

    Shen Xinghuo looked at the fat man in front of him speechlessly. This fat man said it as if it was true, but...don't know how to decorate?

    "Zhuo Jiabao, what you said is true, do you have anything else to say?" Zhuo Shao asked with a sneer.

    "I've finished what I have to say." Zhuo Jiabao straightened his huge chest again: "Zuo Shao, you lied, I'm here to expose you today!"

    "Mr. Shen, I'm really young, and I don't know much about decoration. In fact, many things are only known by asking the seniors in the company, but I went to the provincial capital to follow a few projects before, and I promise to make your hotel Finished." Zhuo Shao said to Shen Xinghuo.

    Shen Xinghuo nodded, convinced Zhuo Shao's words, and even felt more and more that the decoration company in the provincial capital was very powerful.

    This Zhuo Shao is only a junior high school student, and now he can perform so well... This is definitely taught by the decoration company in the provincial capital!

    "Just do a good job for me, but unfortunately your boss is too busy, otherwise I really want to see him." Shen Xinghuo said to Zhuo Shao.

    He has always wanted to meet the boss of the decoration company where Zhuo Shao works, but unfortunately, he is not a small project, and they will not take time to meet him.

    Zhuo Shao felt a little guilty, but he still smiled and talked to Shen Xinghuo. The two of them finally ignored Zhuo Jiabao together.

    Zhuo Jiabao froze.

    Zhuo Shao's true face was exposed by him, shouldn't Shen Xinghuo have an opinion on Zhuo Shao at this time, and then stop looking for Zhuo Shao for decoration? Why is this reaction?

    "Dagang, we can't let idle people wait at our construction site, you can send him away." Zhuo Shao said.

    Xu Dagang glanced at Zhuo Jiabao, who was tall and big, and finally took a shovel for mixing cement from the side, and then walked towards Zhuo Jiabao.

    Xu Dagang is thin and small, Zhuo Jiabao doesn't take him seriously, but the shovel...

    Zhuo Jiabao shivered, turned and ran.

    The arrival of Zhuo Jiabao is just a farce for Zhuo Shao. What he needs to solve now is the lack of workers.

    He had called all the carpenters he had phone numbers, and wanted them to come and work, but all of them, without exception, refused.

    Zhuo Shao sighed, and finally contacted a truck driver he often cooperated with and asked the truck driver to come to him and then go to the city.

    It takes an hour and a half to drive from Fuyang County to the provincial capital, but it only takes 40 minutes to get to the city.

    At this moment, Zhuo Shao planned to go to the city to find some woodworkers to work for him.

    The truck driver came quickly.

    These days, the person who writes the most about the outside world is definitely the truck driver. The truck driver Zhuo Shao knows is the one who often goes to the city.

    "Do you know where there are plates in the city?" Zhuo Shao asked when he got into the car.

    "I know, there is a decoration city over there, and there are a lot of board sellers in it."

    Does the city already have a decorated city? It's a good way to take a look at the floor tiles.

    Although the types of floor tiles in the city are probably not as many as those in the provincial capital, they should be more than those in Fuyang County.

    Shen Xinghuo was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhuo Shao and asked him to stop by to see the bricks.

    "Alright." Shen Xinghuo agreed, but it was a little strange: "Why do you go to the city to find workers instead of the provincial capital?"

    "There is a shortage of workers in the provincial capital, and it is a bit far away. If I can't find it in the city, I will go to the provincial capital." Zhuo Shao said.

    Shen Xinghuo nodded.

    Forty minutes later, they arrived at the decoration city on the outskirts of the city, and after arriving at the decoration city, Zhuo Shao went to the place to buy the board without delaying a step.

    In this world, there are definitely people who are in the wood business and know the most woodworkers. Going to them will definitely let them introduce him to a bunch of woodworkers in the city.

    However, when looking for them to help introduce, you must first pay attention to the wood in those plank shops.

    Even after 20 years, there are still many people who are shoddy, and now...

    At this time, the country did not control the decoration as strictly as it was later, so that the market is full of wood or paint with poor materials. When many people just decorated, the smell is pungent.

    At this moment, Zhuo Shao planned to see which lumber shop had the best wood, and then asked him to introduce woodworking.

    Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun. Shen Xinghuo didn't understand anything, but Zhuo Shao had already selected two shops and asked them to introduce woodworking.

    The shopkeeper gave Zhuo Shao several phone numbers.

    Very few people have mobile phones these days, but many people have them, especially in the city, and almost every household has them.

    After Zhuo Shao got the phone number, he started to call one by one, but at this time, Shen Xinghuo asked the price of the plates in the store.

    The store counts.

    "The wood here is much cheaper than Fuyang County!" Shen Xinghuo said, a little regretful.

    After Zhuo Shao asked him to buy plates, he bought a lot in Fuyang County. As a result, now he found that he was expensive...

    "Mr. Shen, next time you want to buy wood, you can come here to buy it." Zhuo Shao said.

    The owner of the wood shop gave Zhuo Shao a grateful glance.

    Zhuo Shao called the carpenters, and after asking them to come to him, he said to Shen Xinghuo, "Mr. Shen, would you like to stop by to see the floor and wall tiles?"

    Shen Xinghuo nodded and agreed.

    This decorative city in the city is very big to Shen Xinghuo, but in Zhuo Shao's view, it is not big at all, even very small.

    Not only that, there is no subdivision area here, and various shops are mixed together.

    Zhuo Shao and Shen Xinghuo entered a shop that sold all kinds of bricks.

    Shen Xinghuo opened a restaurant, or a luxury hotel, and the decoration should be luxurious, and many bricks should be selected with glittering gold.

    Of course, bricks of other colors are also required, after all, there are toilets and kitchens...

    Zhuo Shao has roughly measured it, and gave the data at this moment. Then, while looking at the bricks, he held a computer to calculate the price.

    When Shen Xinghuo came with Zhuo Shao before, he also said that for his own bricks, he could just buy some ordinary bricks, but after he really came here, he was told by the store that he liked a few very expensive bricks.

    Zhuo Shao knew the price roughly and helped him pay it back, but he didn't interfere in the final choice, and let Shen Xinghuo choose by himself.

    In the industry, many designers take customers to buy floor tiles, and the store will give the designer a red envelope, so that the designer will bring the customer over next time.

    At this time, it is more popular to get rebates. Some carpenters and masons take customers to buy things, and they will get 10% of the rebates alone.

    But Zhuo Shao didn't intend to ask for these.

    He was already fooling Shen Xinghuo. After Shen Xinghuo completed this project, he could make a lot of money. Under such circumstances, he had absolutely no need to worry about these small money.

    Zhuo Shao helped Shen Xinghuo to cut the price severely, and he did not disclose that he was from a decoration company during the period.

    "Is this your son? The bargaining is really great!" Finally, the people in the tile shop had a bit of a toothache.

    Shen Xinghuo is a good man. Zhuo Shao's actions are all he sees, and he is more and more satisfied with Zhuo Shao. Now he smiled and said: "He is not my son, but the bargaining is really good." He The bricks he bought this time looked better than the ones he bought a few years ago, but the price turned out to be cheaper...

    Shen Xinghuo ordered a lot of bricks in one go, and even asked the people from the tile shop to follow him back to measure the size, but at this time, Zhuo Shao went back to the board shop and chatted with a few woodworkers who came over.

    This time, he is looking for a carpenter, including food and housing, and he pays a lot. Overtime is paid for overtime. However, these people will live in Fuyang County for a few days.

    Fuyang County is not far away, and Zhuo Shao’s offer was very good. In the end, only one of the carpenters did not agree, and the one who did not agree was also because of something at home and could not leave.

    Zhuo Shao asked these carpenters to go home to clean up and take them back today.

    It's already noon after all this busy work... Zhuo Shao and Shen Xinghuo looked for a place to eat, and called the two children at home by the way.

    It was Liang Chen who answered the phone. After the call was connected, Zhuo Shao asked, "Liang Chen, have you eaten yet?"

    "Already eaten." Liang Chen said.

    "Is Xu Dagang okay with cooking?" Zhuo Shao asked again. He instructed Xu Dagang that if he couldn't go back, let Xu Dagang go and cook food for the two children, that's why he asked that.

    Liang Chen wanted to say that Zhuo Shao did not cook deliciously, but thinking that Zhuo Shao is so busy now, he changed his mind: "He cooks deliciously, just let him cook for us in the future."

    "That won't do, I plan to cook for you for the rest of my life." Zhuo Shao said with a smile.

    Liang Chen blushed on the other end of the phone, and Na Na was speechless.

    But after a pause, Liang Chen asked again, "Zhuo Shao, I heard that someone made you unable to find workers. Are you okay? Do you want me to call Dad?"

    Liang Chen knew about this when Xu Dagang came to cook for him. Zhuo Shao didn't tell him much about things on the construction site, and Xu Dagang didn't say it very clearly, so he didn't know the specific situation.

    "It's okay, I have found a worker now." Zhuo Shao said, then smiled and chatted with Liang Chen about something else.

    This phone call, Zhuo Shao has been chatting for ten minutes.

    In the past, Shen Xinghuo used to call people and hang up as soon as the matter was made clear. This is the first time he heard someone call someone for so long... "Are you on the phone with your little girlfriend?"

    "It's not a little girlfriend, it's a little boyfriend." Zhuo Shao smiled.

    People at this time didn't know much about homosexuality. When Shen Xinghuo heard what Zhuo Shao said, he only understood the literal meaning: "You two boys can make phone calls for so long, you are also capable."

    Zhuo Shao dared to say that just because he knew that he was pretty good. At this time, he smiled and changed the subject.

    Zhuo Shao found a total of eight carpenters in the city this time.

    The restaurant does not need to make cabinets, and there are already two carpenters, and eight more carpenters. Even if there are a lot of things to do, they can definitely finish all the work in ten days!

    Zhuo Shao arranged for the carpenter to work in ten days, but according to his calculations, it should take less than ten days to complete the work.

    When they went back, everyone was sitting in the back of the truck.

    The carpenters were all covered with quilts, each with a big burden, but they didn't find it troublesome at all, and all of them were smiling.

    This time to work, Zhuo Shao offered them 80 yuan a day, and there was a bonus for doing well.

    They worked in the city before, but they never got so much money. This time they worked for ten days a year ago, and maybe they could have a thousand dollars. This is a great thing.

    The truck stopped next to the construction site, and the people on the truck got out one after another. Zhuo Shao also got out of the car, and then went to see Tang Tianqing.

    Tang Tianqing didn't even look at Zhuo Shao, but walked towards Shen Xinghuo: "Old Shen, I heard that your construction site here can't continue..."

    Tang Tianqing smiled when he spoke, and he didn't look embarrassed at all, and Shen Xinghuo didn't seem angry: "Old Tang, there's no such thing! Isn't it because there are a few carpenters missing? This time I went out and brought a few. "

    Only then did Tang Tianqing notice that Zhuo Shao was holding a man with a burden, and his face suddenly turned black.

    "People outside, how can there be local reliability?" Tang Tianqing said again.

    "They're not from outside the city, but from the city. What about the carpenters in the city!" Shen Xinghuo said, they looked down on outsiders, but the city was different. I didn't see any students from Beimen Junior High School wanting to be admitted to the city.high school?

    Tang Tianqing's face turned even darker.

    Zhuo Shao didn't care about him, but invited the workers to go in: "Put your things here for a while, I'll rent a house for you, and then move your things in later."

    "Also, let me tell you what to do. You can do it. Today I will give you half a day's wages." Zhuo Shao said again, and then pointed out those people.
