   Chapter 185 Dead Brains (For Subscription)

  The lowest floors of the Hailong Building are almost finished. Yang Fugui put on a safety helmet and followed the horse to go down to the ground. The huge basement is covered with marble tiles, which is quite high-grade.

  There is also a passage on the other side of the basement, which leads directly into the security room of the building, so that people can leave through the back door.

  When designing, Yang Fugui specially asked people to modify the drawings.

   Maybe at that time, he had some thoughts.

  I’m used to making quick money, but it’s hard to make a little bit of money with peace of mind.

   Taking advantage of the fact that the person with whom you are connected happens to be in charge of Ning Xiuzhen, he will change careers after earning a little more money.

  Ma Yunlai walked around the basement and said, "We put a few more tables here, and only accept old customers and those who bring them to the door in person..."

   After listening to the words of his most trusted subordinates, Yang Fuguo said slowly: "Come here, we can do it for a year at most, wash our hands in a golden basin, and go ashore completely."

  Ma Yunlai paused and said, "Okay."

   Now the management is getting stricter and the business is getting harder and harder.

  Fortunately, they have a very reliable relationship. If there is any trouble, you can receive the news as soon as possible.

   After so many years, there has never been an incident on the official side. As long as people are still there, there is no need to worry.

  Yang Fugui passed through the spacious basement and went upstairs through another passage: "Come in, you can handle this yourself."

  Ma Yunlai smiled: "Brother Yang, don't worry, I will do it properly."

  Yang Fugui nodded and didn't say more. Those things on his side that couldn't see the light were all operated by Ma Yunlai.

  Ma Yunlai gets busy quickly, making phone calls, looking for people, ordering utensils and more.

It was night when it was getting dark, Ma Yunlai had dinner, his hands were itchy and uncomfortable, he found his mobile phone and made a call, drove the Santana into Chengguan Village, the car stopped by the spacious alley, got off and turned into A narrow alley, to a tin door.

   A dog was barking, and a small window was open on the door. When the people inside saw the horse coming, they hurriedly stopped the barking, opened the tin door, and greeted, "Brother Ma, here we come."

  Ma Yunlai nodded and walked quickly to the door: "Stone, how many people are there tonight?"

   Stone looked left and right, closed the door, and said, "There are three people here."

  Ma Yunlai followed him into the room, sat beside the poker table, looked at each other, and the young man across from him knew him.

   This man is in his twenties, lean and lean. He seems to have hit a tractor together in the first month of the year, and he lost very badly.

   Ma Yunlai recalled and said to the lean man, "I remember you, from Majia Village."

   "Hello Ma!" The lean man greeted with a smile and said, "My name is Hu Bin."

  Stone interjected: "Brother Ma, just call him civil and military."

  Ma Yunlai asked, "University town, Lu Dong, who sells Mala Tang, is your cousin?"

  Hu Bin said, "Yes! Lu Dong and I are cousins."

  Ma Yunlai said casually: "Your cousin is very powerful. He is a figure in the university town."

Hu Bin misunderstood the meaning: "He provokes you, Brother Ma?" Many people are good at this kind of thing and like to show off: "He is afraid of me when he is young, Brother Ma, if he wants to provoke you, I will cut him off. Ask this **** to apologize to you!"

  Ma Yunlai waved his hand: "No. Don't talk about this, let's play cards!"

   Several people sat at the table and played with the tractor again.

  …………

   It was dark at night. An orange Jialing motorcycle with its headlights turned on the cement road from the county road and soon entered Qiaojia Village. The street lights at the entrance of the village illuminated a bald head.

  Qiao Weiguo came home and just pushed the cart through the gate when his father, Lao Qiao, came out of the main room, glanced at the dilapidated Jialing cart, and said, "Weiguo, come here, let's pull together."

   "I know." Qiao Weiguo put the car away and followed him to the main room.

   In the main room is a small round table with a pot of brewed tea on it, and a few sheets of paper next to the teapot.

  Old Joe sat at the table and pointed to the opposite side: "Sit down and pull."

  Qiao Weiguo sat down and said very little. Old Qiao didn't ask, and he didn't say anything.

   "I'll give you money and tell you to buy a motorcycle, a TV and a refrigerator." Old Joe took a sip from his teacup: "What about the livelihood you bought?"

  Qiao Weiguo will not make up nonsense: "Give the money to Lu Dong and open a shop together."

  Old Joe pointed to his bald head and said, "Why don't you understand your elm head? If you don't have a new motorcycle, which little girl would take your back seat?"

  Qiao Weiguo still told the truth: "It's not bad if you can make money with Lu Dong."

   "Lu Dong is not bad, a very good person." Lao Qiao first gave Lu Dong a good person card, and then said, "You are already twenty-two, so don't think about it, is it more important to find a wife or earn money?"

   He raised his voice slightly: "You can earn money anytime! Daughter-in-law, if you are older, it will be hard to find. Do you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?"

  Qiao Weiguo has other things on his mind, and he doesn't care about finding a daughter-in-law for the time being: "I'm not in a hurry."

   "You..." Old Qiao hated that iron was not steel: "Practicing martial arts is stupid!"

  Qiao Weiguo took a teacup and poured water for himself without speaking.

"There are losses and gains in business." Lao Qiao's typical thinking of the older generation in the countryside, he must seek stability beforehand: "I have put away the discounts at the time of death. You will be the best with Lu Dong this time. If you have this money, you won't be able to find a daughter-in-law."

   He didn't mean to let Qiao Weiguo work with Lu Dong, but he felt that it was the safest to follow Lu Dong for a high salary.

  Qiao Weiguo still didn't speak, anyway, no matter what Dad said, he just wanted to follow Lu Dong.

   In this life, he will look for Lu Dong.

  Qiao Weiguo thought of Qiao Siliang, Qiao Keli, and all kinds of things he had seen and heard in the market, and said, "I don't want to be like Qiao Siliang."

   Lao Qiao waved his hand and drank a glass of water: "I've been to Lvjiacun twice in the past few days, Lu Dong is good, keep following him."

   Years ago, he had been in contact with Lu Dong many times, and someone like his son, who accepted the truth, might have to go in once he was with the wrong person.

  Qiao Weiguo looked at Old Qiao, but remained silent.

   At that time, Qiao Keli beat him first, then his teacher beat him, and finally Lao Qiao beat him up and beat Qiao Weiguo to Dengfeng. People became more and more silent, especially when facing Old Qiao alone.

   The smoothness of communication between father and son is proportional to age.

  Old Joe looked at the son with the elm head and said, "Go to bed early."

   He got up and wobbled away.

  Qiao Weiguo glanced at the paper on the table, which was left over from going to the county town to put up posters and advertisements in the past few days.

   Pick it up and go back to the house to sleep.

   The next day just dawned, Qiao Weiguo got up on time and came to the large yard with five points of land, like the past half a year, practicing boxing.

After    practiced martial arts, he took a stick of about fifty centimeters and used the sword he learned in the martial arts school to beat a sandbag hanging under the tree on the south wall.

   Following Lu Dong to catch unruly people a few times, he understood one thing, an empty-handed one can’t beat a weaponized one.

   The leader of the car bandit Roadhog named Lao Qin who lives in the same room as Qiao Keli is also strong, but he can't even catch Lu Dong's moves. Didn't he hit Lu Dong's hidden weapon first?

   In Lao Du’s words, biological hidden weapons are also weapons.

  After the morning exercise and breakfast, Qiao Weiguo took the poster and paste, rode Xiao Jialing into the county, and went directly to the labor market.

Most of the decoration in the store is underway, and it needs to recruit people. Lu Dong told him that there are two types of recruits. One is long-term permanent workers, such as cashiers and people in the kitchen, and the other is those who are willing to recruit from various schools. gig students.

   It is said that it can reduce... Qiao Weiguo thought about it for a long time before he remembered the word Lu Dong said, labor cost.

   I came to the labor market because it was relatively early, and there were a lot of people in the labor market, not to mention hundreds of people.

   It seems that there are many people looking for temporary jobs in the county seat.

  Qiao Weiguo saw many people frowning, as if people in the city were not having an easy life.

  It's not up to him to do tricks, and he's not good at it either.

  Qiao Weiguo got off the car, found a job recruitment revelation column, and painted paste the job advertisement.

   Next, get on the bike and go to the front, and stick a few pictures on the trees and poles as well.

  A brand new job posting was posted, and people immediately gathered around to look at it, but after seeing it, most of them shook their heads and walked away because their conditions were not suitable.

   Many people in their 40s and 50s sighed: When people are old, it is difficult to find a good job.

   They stay in the same factory all their lives, and often only do one or two jobs. A factory that has worked for 20 to 30 years will collapse.

   When I came out of the factory, I always felt that this society was really unfamiliar. When I opened my eyes, it was a smear. Where can I go to find a job with stable income and a job that I can hold until my old age?

   There are also private companies recruiting people, but they have gone to various discomforts, and the benefits are not proportional to the work they do.

   Also, many companies with low technical content would rather recruit inexperienced young people to train them than use them as skilled workers.

  This society is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

  Qiao Weiguo didn’t wait long after he posted the job posting poster. He rode out of the county and rushed to the university town. Although it was enough to go there in the middle of the morning, if he arrived early, he could also help with the decoration of the store.

   Not only shop No. 1, but the accessories shop on Heidan is also being renovated and will open before the Mala Tang shop.

  …………

  University town, not far north of the central intersection, taking advantage of time before class in the morning, Song Na rushed over from the school, opened the door and went up to the second floor.

  Her parents lived on the second floor last night and did not go back to the village, because the second floor was filled with a batch of goods that just came in, and the old man was worried that no one would see the goods.

  The two were packing the goods, and Lao Song asked, "Nizi, can the shelves arrive today?"

  Song Na said: "I asked, and it will be delivered in the afternoon. It's just right after my class. Don't worry, we're not short of a day or two."

   Her mother Yao Hui said: "Can you be in a hurry? I've invested so much money in, but I can't see the money coming back. I'm in a panic."

  Song Na widened her mother's heart: "Mom, we can earn this money back."

   Yao Hui didn’t have much say at home, so Lao Song agreed with her daughter to open a shop, but she objected to it was useless, and said, “Nizi, you have ordered a lot of containers, do you want to call back to the village and ask a few people to help move things.”

   "No." Song Na said, "I have quite a few friends, and they will come to help when the time comes."

   Yao Hui asked, "The men who came last time?"

  Song Na nodded: "Just them, I invested with them, and opened a store in the south." She smiled and said: "Dad, you and my mother can just watch, we will finish it after a while."

   Her father's waist is not good, her lumbar intervertebral disc is herniated; her mother's legs are not very good, and her knees have fluid accumulation.

   It's all about working up and down the mountains all these years.
