    Chapter 54

    "What's the matter? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

    In the office, the newly appointed young boss angrily pointed at the news headlines. The dazzling characters on it were like the sun outside, which burned people's eyes and hearts in the early morning.

    Who will give him justice? Where is the integrity of Guanhai Group!

    [Migrant worker Chen Shuibian told reporters that up to now, his high medical expenses have not been paid... The hospital has repeatedly emphasized that if he does not undergo surgery, he will most likely be paralyzed in the lower limbs... However, the responsible person of Guanlan Group has so far did not show up...]

    Secretary Zhou stared at the newspaper, his face suddenly ugly, and said angrily: "It's actually this old and broken thing? Now the media likes to fan the flames and drive the rhythm and flow. President Qin, listen to me! The person in charge at Jinghewan has already I just contacted the family members surnamed Chen, and I paid for the medical bills. At that time, it was clear that the settlement had been made, but now it has been brought up again in the past six months, and the reporter has been directly identified. This is obviously greed and wants to make a mistake. Or is there something else behind it? The family is in trouble. Seeing that the Jinghewan project is finally coming to an end, some guys must be unable to sit still and want to jump out of disgusting people. In the past, Director Qin pressed them hard, but now it must be because you are young and new to take office and want to pick things up. …”

    Hearing the secretary's indignant remarks, Qin Zhuo's expression was not relieved at all.

    Right now is the end of summer and early autumn in Guanlan City. In the early morning, the air conditioner was fully turned on in the office, but Mr. Qin, who came to work early in his spirits, couldn't calm down at this moment. It has been less than half a year since he returned to China, and it was only three months after accepting the Qin family. It can be said that he was forced to take office. Originally, he didn't expect to take up the burden so early, but now the family situation is complicated, and he has to take the lead.

    After taking over, as he expected, all kinds of big things and small things came one after another in the huge group, not to mention some elders like to look for trouble.

    ‘Jinghewan’ is one of the group’s real estate projects. The project that started when my father was alive is now waiting to be completed. This was a smooth project, but I didn't expect there to be bad things.

    "Let the media put some away first and contact the hospital in person to clarify the situation. I will go to Jinghewan in the afternoon after the meeting in the morning."

    Secretary Zhou frowned: "President Qin wants to go to 'Jinghewan' in person? It's a construction site now. It's hard to say about safety. I'm afraid that there will be media and sneaky people guarding it."

    Qin Zhuopu sneered and said disapprovingly, "I'm sitting in the office and where can I go safely?"

    Secretary Zhou was speechless, but Mr. Qin meant something. A few days ago, President Qin fired an old hero of the company who had dirty hands and feet. The next day, he even came to the door to play arrogant. Although he was stopped by the bodyguards, President Qin's mood was not much better. There may be people behind him who say that he is cruel and ruthless.

    In the afternoon, the suburbs of Guanlan City seemed a little eerily quiet, and the scorching temperature outside was like an invisible and twisted big net. When Qin Zhuopu got out of the cool car, the big net immediately rushed up, covering people with a bang, tightly closing without leaving a breather.

    Qin Zhuopu took a heavy breath, took out his sun hat and sunglasses, put it on, turned around and walked into the large construction site of 'Jinghewan' with two bodyguards.

    At two o'clock in the afternoon, the construction site was fairly quiet, with only sporadic noisy noises operating. 'Jinghewan' is now the fifth phase of the project. The front has been completed and sold out. The luxurious and luxurious sales department of Liangtang is in the most conspicuous place. Qin Zhuopu paused and decided to take a look first. Anyway, he and the bodyguards are dressed casually today, and no one will recognize him when he goes in and out.

    Stepping into the spotless sales department, a refreshing topping is especially refreshing.

    There were quite a few people in the hall at this moment. Homebuyers dressed in uniform and busy with their busy schedules, as well as clients who came out to see the house in the heat, men and women, young and old, shuttled through the hall. Opening soon, it's been a busy time recently.

    The three Qin Zhuopu came in, but they didn't pay attention for a while. Qin Zhuopu went to the sand table to listen to the buyer's introduction to other customers, and then followed to see the model room. When he came out, his tense face softened a little. He saw that there were free fruits and drinks at the bar, and walked to the water dispenser with his long legs. With very heavy force, before Qin Zhuopu could react, he heard a sincere apology: "I'm sorry! I bumped into you in a hurry."

    In a short sentence, I don't know what magic power, Qin Zhuopu not only didn't get angry at all, but subconsciously raised the corner of his mouth and said without raising his head: "It's okay..."

    When he raised his head, he saw only the back of the owner of the voice, and raised his hand when he left: "Thank you!" The slender figure was in a hurry, with a pure white short-sleeved t-shirt and whitish jeans. But he couldn't hide the tall and slender legs of the young man. Appears to be a student.

    Qin Zhuopu didn't take it to heart, and after drinking two glasses of water, he and the bodyguard entered the dirty construction area.

    "Huhu... Fortunately, I caught up, I was almost late." Running back to the shed in one breath, Lu Ying lifted the hem of her white t-shirt and wiped it on her face, wiping away the sweat that didn't actually exist. But he was too afraid of the heat. After spending a few minutes in the sun, he felt so hot that he could not wait to soak in the refrigerator.

    After finishing work in the morning, he ate lunch and rushed to the sales department to find an unoccupied corner to lie down on the floor tiles and sleep in the morning, just to use the air conditioner. The big brothers and sisters in the sales department never talked about him, and they called him to eat fruit every time they went there.

    Ji Xiaofeng also looked like she had just woken up. She raised her hand and threw Lu Ying's helmet and jacket. She yawned and said, "This afternoon seems to be moving bricks, no need to push cement. Go out for a walk after finishing work early."

    "Okay! I want to go to the place last time to eat ice cream. It's really delicious." Lu Ying put on his coat and fastened his hard hat, and his bright eyes were full of anticipation for the ice cream.

    Ji Xiaofeng sneered: "It's delicious, it's delicious, you go eat it, and it will pay you two days' salary."

    "What does that matter, I make money just to buy delicious food"

    Ji Xiaofeng disagreed: "You are really a pig, you are a foodie. You might as well go to the amusement park to play a few more times if you eat so much."

    Lu Ying pursed his lips and beeped softly: "You really can't get tired of playing..." He followed his friends to play all over the amusement park in Guanlan City, and some even repeated the game several times. For him, of course, eating is the happiest thing than an amusement park! (*^▽^*)

    The two walked into the dreadful sun while chatting, and soon each got into work.

    Aunt Wang, who was in charge of cooking in the shed, saw that the two were walking away, and immediately sighed and said to her son beside her, "Wangzi, you have to study hard, otherwise after graduation, you will have to be like them and work as coolies at a young age. Moving bricks."

    Still in high school, the spectacled boy who came to ask his parents for living expenses while he was resting nodded, but in his heart he disapproved of his mother and looked down on him. Although the two eldest brothers were moving bricks at the construction site, their amazing appearance was rare. If they want to make money, they have capital. Moreover, the two never complained when they moved bricks, complaining of distress and tiredness. I look happy every day, and my mood is really good. Seeing them, I feel that my stressful high school life is not so uncomfortable.

    "I think the two of them are very hardworking and in good health." Another Aunt Chen took over the conversation: "I wanted to introduce some good girls from my fellow villagers to them, but I don't think it's right, they are still young people after all. , he can spend too much money! That little brother Ji is a crazy play all day, and little brother Lu eats and drinks every day, and the little money he earns is devoted to his own happiness.

    "That's right, how can you lose your life like this..."

    The person in charge of the construction site led Qin Zhuopu and the three of them, carefully shuttling through the busy construction site, and the sounds of various machines roared after two o'clock. When you arrive at the scene, you can feel it more clearly, and the smell of reinforced concrete is diffused in the air. The construction site under the scorching sun is obviously hotter and more difficult than other places.

    Holding a mineral water bottle in his hand, he walked all the way down, taking a sip from time to time, and it was almost bottoming out. The hair under the sun hat was unknowingly wet with sweat, and the forehead, face, and body were covered in hot sweat.

    Qin Zhuopu didn't say how uncomfortable he was in his heart, and his face didn't change.

    "Mr. Qin, there are twelve buildings here, the low building next to it is the substation, and not far ahead is the place where the workers live."

    Qin Zhuopu nodded, "Since you're here, let's take a look." After speaking, he took another sip of mineral water.

    Suddenly, a figure appeared in his sight.

    No, to be precise, a migrant worker trotted forward with both hands pushing a cart full of bricks. He was wearing gray overalls and a hard hat. He was tall and straight. When running, the relaxed attitude is in high spirits. It seems that this is not a messy construction site, but a clean and free school playground.

    Is it a poor student who came to work-study during the summer vacation?

    Under the strong sunlight, Qin Zhuopu could not see the face of the young migrant worker, but he subconsciously gave way to the side. He waited until the little brother of the migrant worker pushed the cart to the front, and Qin Zhuopu was the first to hear the heavy breathing, and he couldn't help it. took off the hat on head, it was too hot and stuffy.

    The distance was getting closer, the young man looked up at them, his eyes were full of stunned and stunned, I saw him stop the cart, stood in front of him at a loss, and then whispered: "Hello, general manager..." Said After finishing, he lowered his head, and in the next moment he suddenly raised his head for some unknown reason, and quickly glanced at the strange man next to the general manager. His pale face, covered in sweat, was inexplicably red.

    The general manager smiled and nodded: "Little Lu has worked hard."

    Lu Ying hurriedly shook her head, a little shy, "It's not hard, this is work." After finishing her words, she glanced at the person next to her with the corner of her eyes.

    Qin Zhuopu, who had been silent all the time, was still stunned.

    White, very white, even with a lot of dust and dirt, this face can't be stopped. This face is not only clean and clear.

    The beads of sweat hanging on the white cheeks looked especially terrifying, spreading like a rain curtain, showing how hot he was. For a moment, Qin Zhuopu only thought so much, and suddenly forgot all other business affairs.

    "The temperature is high today, it's been hard work." He reached out and handed a clean handkerchief, his voice softly unlike himself. Qin Zhuopu, who made this move, was shocked even himself.

    "No, no need! Thank you! I continue to work..." Seeing the handkerchief handed over, Lu Ying subconsciously chose to push the cart to escape. He didn't want to stay any longer, it must be too hot and his head was suffocating. Otherwise, why is my brain swelled and my heart beating wildly. Raising his hand and wiping the sweat on his face, Lu Ying ran farther and farther. When he arrived at his destination, he couldn't wait to find the water pipe and dashed towards his head, and suddenly screamed 'Ow', frightening the colleagues next to him. .

    "It's burning me to death... uh!" Lu Yingsheng covered his head reluctantly, and that wave was full of hot water! It's deadly to hit the head.

    The colleague laughed and said, "Xiao Lu, I'm afraid you're not dizzy today. It's a nonsense if the water in the afternoon doesn't burn you out. Why are you so careless today, are you alright?"

    "Don't burn yourself into a bald head and waste your good looks."

    "Being rash, this is not like the usual you. Why, there are beautiful girls chasing you outside? Hahaha..."

    "Ha ha……

    Lu Ying had a red face and wet hair, but her heart still didn't calm down. Wen Yan muttered: "How can there be a beautiful girl..." There was a big man who looked strange... No, it's not that other people are strange, it's his reaction.

    "Who is that?" Qin Zhuopu withdrew his gaze and blurted out until he could no longer see it.

    The general manager hurriedly replied: "That's a little brother who moved bricks at the construction site, called Lu Ying. He also has a friend, and the two of them have only been at the construction site for about three months. Don't look at Xiao Lu's young age, but he was born Divine power, the work is really amazing. It caused a sensation just two days after I arrived. I came to watch it at that time. It seems that some people have posted the video of him moving bricks on the Internet, and many people think it is strange. Hehe, mainly Xiao Lu His face is so handsome, it is a bit extravagant and wasteful to come to the construction site to move bricks. I heard that a live broadcast network wanted to sign the two of them a while ago, but they refused."

    "Which Lu, which Ying?" Qin Zhuopu asked again.

    The general manager was stunned for a moment, and answered honestly: "Lu in land, Ying in English, it seems to be the name of some medicinal herb."

    "Lu Ying..."

    Qin Zhuopu opened his mouth and repeated silently, "Such a person..." He would actually see it at the construction site, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't describe what kind of person Lu Ying was. of innocent youth.

    The moment he saw those clear eyes, Qin Zhuopu thought in a trance that he shouldn't be here. Such a person should run carefree and wantonly in the green mountains and deep valleys.

    "This child is blind in vain. He just came out of the mountain, and he has never studied at the age of 20. It's pathetic... I've been in contact with it a few times, and it's very simple." , Heartless, the general manager thought.

    Qin Zhuopu was stunned: "He is twenty years old?" He thought he was eighteen at most.

    "Yes, but he has a simple temperament and looks relatively small. He is very likable. Those old fritters on the construction site like to praise him. Nowadays, young people like this are rare."

    No, haven't seen it before.

    Qin Zhuopu took a deep breath and shook his hot head.

    The temperature is still hot and dry, but the road ahead is a bit exciting.

    Sure enough, as he expected, when he turned around another building, on a hillside with bricks and stones, he saw Lu Ying working hard under the scorching sun again.

    Bending down to put the bricks into the cart, Lu Ying's speed is very fast, and he starts very accurately. From time to time, crystal sweat dripped down his side face with his head lowered, and his face was even more dirty than before, with patches of gray and patches of black. The focused look still attracted his attention.

    Qin Zhuopu looked away and wiped the sweat from his forehead without a trace. Dazed, he must be... dizzy.

    Filled with bricks, Lu Ying got up and went to push the cart, but he didn't expect to see a strange man with the general manager again. As if encountering some terrifying person, Lu Ying quickly lowered her head and pushed the car away at a screeching speed.

    General Manager: "..." What do you think is weird today?

    Qin Zhuopu: "..." Damn, he actually thinks the other party is shy? Was the other party looking at him just now?

    Qin Zhuopu suddenly turned sideways, and his sharp eyes scanned the faces of the general manager and the two bodyguards earnestly.

    Bodyguards: "?"

    General manager:"?"

    Appearance is mediocre, nothing to worry about.

    Qin Zhuopu smiled slightly: "It's okay."

    Qin Zhuopu left the construction site very late, but unfortunately he never saw the young man again.

    Two days later at noon, as soon as the call to stop work sounded, Lu Ying rushed to the shed, Ji Xiaofeng reluctantly followed behind, "Brother has convinced you, can you stop doing this every time you eat?"

    Lu Ying clutched his stomach while running: "I'm starving to death!"

    "Haha, Xiao Lu, it doesn't matter, no matter how full you are, no one will rob you." The foreman smiled and comforted the young man.

    "The appetite of young people is really good. I used to be able to kill three bowls in one go, but now I can't."

    When they arrived at the work shed, everyone familiarly took out their own bowls and chopsticks and started lining up to cook.

    Lu Ying was the first to arrive, and naturally the first to eat his mouth. Today's dishes are also three vegetables and one meat, fried lettuce with minced meat, tomato eggs, fried zucchini, and stewed chicken with potatoes.

    The craftsmanship of the aunts is actually average, but everything is delicious when you are hungry. Lu Ying squatted in the shadow by the shed, eating without looking up.

    Until a pair of feet suddenly appeared in front of her, Lu Ying looked up and saw the man she saw the day before yesterday. The man he had only seen once, and he hadn't forgotten it for two days, and even more so inexplicably in the evening.

    "..." Lu Ying was completely dumbfounded.

    Qin Zhuopu closed his eyes and looked away. The general manager next to him said loudly: "This is Mr. Qin, the president of our group. Today, Mr. Qin specially brought you some food and vegetables... Everyone who is still working in hot weather has worked hard..."

    "Ah, this is President Qin... so young..."

    "Why did you come to our place..."

    "What's there to eat?"

    A few aunts gathered around to help, and everyone was very happy. What President Qin brought were summer cold dishes. And it's all meat dishes. What kind of braised pig's trotters, braised beef, braised pig tails, duck necks, big chicken legs... There are various varieties and full weights.

    Lu Ying couldn't care about those strange things anymore, so he went around gulping his saliva, took a lot of dishes, and squatted to the side to taste it. Afraid that Ji Xiaofeng would not eat it, she even grabbed a pig's trotter for her friend.

    Ji Xiaofeng shook her head in disgust: "I don't want to eat it, I just want to eat green vegetables."

    "Then I ate it all." Lu Ying smiled.

    Ji Xiaofeng nodded, glanced at Mr. Qin who was out of place, and whispered, "I didn't expect the boss to be so young and generous. I thought he was an old man before."

    "Yes, yes. Generous, what a nice person!" Lu Ying also commented in a low voice.

    Seeing everyone huddled together to eat, everyone had a happy face because of the food he brought. This was just a little selfish move, but it really touched my heart.

    Qin Zhuopu was pulled into the room by his aunt to blow the fan, and he didn't dare to ask him to have dinner together. From his point of view, he happened to see Lu Ying's back. He can look at it with impunity.

    He found that this young man...has a lot of appetite.

    After the dinner, the assistant of the general manager brought several people over in hot sweat.

    The general manager immediately smiled and told everyone: "Mr. Qin said that it is very hard to work in high temperature, and everyone should do a good job of sun protection. Now come over to get sunscreen, everyone has a set, and the repair gel prescribed by the hospital. Sunburn ointment..."

    As soon as these words came out, several aunts were overjoyed: "Oh, Mr. Qin is really a good person! This is good, this is good!"

    "Isn't afraid of the sun after wiping it? Then we have to try it."

    Lu Ying and Ji Xiaofeng also got their share.

    Lu Ying sighed again in a low voice: "President Qin is really good..."

    After everyone was busy, it was time to take a nap. The work was tired, and no one could bear to work all day. The lunch break became a very important rest time.

    Qin Zhuopu was very conscious and took people away early.

    Lu Ying slipped to the sales department again, put a bamboo pillow on the cold floor tile in the corner of the building, lay down and fell asleep, cool and comfortable.

    "..."

    Qin Zhuopu looked at the people on the ground with amazement. Never expected to see Lu Ying here again. And the other party is still in this attitude...

    Qin Zhuopu was stunned to the side, neither would he leave, nor would he not leave.

    Bass, the man on the ground suddenly sat up and stared at him sharply.

    Qin Zhuopu's heart skipped a beat: "You..."

    "Ah...it's you." Lu Ying exhaled, and then he got up from the ground at a loss: "Qin, President Qin...I'll go now. I won't sleep here again, sorry!" After all, it's very influential 'City appearance', the boss certainly doesn't like it when he sees it.

    "Need not."

    Qin Zhuopu opened his mouth with difficulty, feeling a little uncomfortable, "The shed is very hot, it's cool here. Sleep if you like..." But where is a good place to sleep?

    "Really? Thank you..." Lu Ying was overjoyed and stood there cautiously, not daring to sleep directly.

    "I go first."

    Qin Zhuopu was very sensible, turned around and left, walking quickly.

    "...Oh." Lu Ying answered slowly until the other party turned away and disappeared, and then lay down again, but tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

    He closed his eyes and thought silently.

    The sun is shining every day, and it is very hot and uncomfortable. What he hated the most since he was a child was the hot weather in summer, and it was the first time to spend the summer in a big reinforced concrete city, which was even more terrifying than he imagined.

    The summer in this city is too hard, and he doesn't like it. He has been hesitant to go back to the mountains to enjoy the cool air, or continue to work and play in the city.

    At this moment, he was lying on the cool ground, but what appeared in his mind was the quiet and cool night of Qixia Mountain, and the sky was full of stars, glittering.

    There is one, very bright.

    The author has something to say: small theater.

    President Qin: (I really moved, but it looks so small, what should do?)

    Lu Ying: (I must be very hungry)

    President Qin: How old is he?

    General Manager: Twenty

    President Qin: (excited)

    Lu Ying: (Every time see Mr. Qin, the good guy, get hungry. What should do?)

    President Qin: I invite you to dinner

    Lu Ying: ...(⊙o⊙ excited (even more hungry after eating!)

    President Qin: I invite you to dinner

    Lu Ying: (continue to eat and continue to be hungry)

    President Qin: I...

    Lu Ying: Today I invite you to eat!

    President Qin: OK (*^▽^*)

    Lu Ying: You are so nice

    President Qin: ...? ? ? (Want to die, I was issued a good person card)

    Lu Ying: Yeah! Why are you dizzy?
