When Zheng Quchi saw his approval, his brows suddenly filled with joy.
I think back when she took on a project at the Architectural Design Institute and the leader entrusted her with a heavy responsibility, she finally achieved a promotion and a salary increase by striving for the best performance opportunities. Her current mood is probably similar to that of that time, and she is one step closer to achieving her set goal. A big step forward.
Although this leader is not that leader, the risk factor of doing things under him will increase by tens of thousands.
She pursed her lips and was a little nervous, but even though she was appointed by him as a project engineer, she still had the courage to propose the "remuneration" she expected.
"Thank you General for your trust, but General...if I repair the city wall, can I make a small request to you?"
Yu Wensheng was a little surprised. After all, he had defined her as "selfless" not long ago, but now she suddenly became "philistine".
He deliberately suppressed his laughter, and the arc of the smile on his lips deepened into a dangerous arc: "Sang Xuanqing, you dare to make conditions with me before you even build a stone on the wall?"
He has seen many people who are proud and proud, but this is the first time in his life that he can't wait to make "requests" like her as soon as she takes the position.
When other people outside the door secretly heard this, their hearts suddenly tightened, and they suddenly became anxious and worried.
"General, if you don't get upset all of a sudden, just chop Sang Xuanqing in half with one sword."
"If Sang Xuanqing is hacked, do any of you know how to make soil and cement? Or can you listen to and read the piles and piles of heavenly scripts she talked about before?"
After a period of wordless silence, they could no longer hold back and rushed in, trying their best to save Zheng Quchi's life from the general's hands.
One head, two heads, three... they all fell to the ground and kowtowed: "Please calm down, general."
You must leave Xiao Sang, a cowardly dog, alive!
They deliberately knelt between Zheng Quchi and the general, hoping that the general would not get murderous and kill her.
As long as she can calm down and think about the current situation - the master craftsman was shot and seriously injured, the fortification has been stagnant due to various difficulties, the craftsmen are scarce, etc., she still dares to face the difficulties and overcome the difficulties. Go up and organize the fortifications in an orderly manner.
This fearless spirit and boldness alone were worth the risk they took on her.
Although this "Sang Xuanqing" is really stupid and can't even speak, she is now responsible for the entire city wall construction project.
Whether it's a donkey or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk before you know it.
Zheng Quchi's eyes widened and he was surprised to see so many people appearing out of nowhere.
Among them were soldiers, several work officers and masons, as well as Wang Zebang, and especially Wei Yao, whom she was relatively familiar with.
Seeing the people kneeling on the ground regardless of the reason, the small empty space in front of her was almost filled.
Zheng Quchi: "..." No matter how dull she looked at Yu Wensheng, she had already known about his unstable temperament, so it was not surprising that he suddenly turned against her.
Seeing that these people who were supposed to be guarding the door broke in without permission and only wanted to plead for Sang Xuanqing, Yu Wensheng didn't say anything and instead let them kneel.
But Zheng Quchi felt inexplicably that Yu Wensheng didn't seem to be angry because she made a request to him. Instead, he felt...a sense of anticipation?
She is just a small craftsman now, and even the officials will kneel down. She stands upright without following the rules. This is very unloyal.
After all, people came here just to ask for her.
She had to kneel down again, this evil old society, this evil hegemonism... She was indignant, because she always felt uncomfortable when kneeling down, so she couldn't be generous, but when she twisted her little body, she looked like a girl. Kneel down.
She took advantage of the large number of people on her side. After being bluffed, she became frightened again: "It's just that the general employs people. Don't we follow the principle of fairness? I promised that I would be punished if I failed, but what if I If you succeed, shouldn’t you praise me appropriately?”
The more she talked, the more she felt wronged.
He wasn't going to ask her to work for nothing, was he?
He wouldn't intend to be Huang Shiren and her Yang Bailao, right?
If that's really the case...then she, then she will...just leave her job after this, and no longer give him the opportunity to exploit her in vain.
Yu Wensheng was really amused by her "awkward" kneeling: "Then what kind of praise do you want?"
"I just want to get a promise from the general." Zheng Quchi said quickly.
promise?
Wang Zebang, Muke and others did not expect that she would make such a request. When it comes to promises, it can be big or small.
If you want to be wise, it's best to have real things when you want money. If your appetite is too big, then maybe they won't even be able to save her this time.
They prayed in their hearts that Sang Xuanqing would not be too greedy and not touch the general's bottom line.
The soft smile on Yu Wensheng's lips suddenly widened. He restrained his excitement and asked in a soft tone: "What kind of promise?"
Zheng Quchi always felt that he seemed to be looking forward to her making requests now.
What are you doing?
Playing fishing and law enforcement?
But she still had to say that Zheng Quchi knew that this kind of opportunity was rare.
Things will be unpredictable in the future. She doesn't have any great skills. Apart from some civil engineering construction, commonly known as infrastructure, she is just an ordinary citizen. Apart from using this skill to stand up and speak, she really can't think of anything else. A way to make others take her words seriously.
After she calmed down, she spoke clearly: "No harm to the family, Sang Xuanqing only wants one thing. No matter what kind of taboos I violate you, General, or what you think I did wrong, I hope that General Only target me as the culprit, and don’t hurt my family.”
Zheng Quchi knew that Yu Wensheng had always doubted her. This extremely high level of vigilance could not be dispelled by her surrender, not to mention that she did have ulterior motives. Now that she had sent the Mo family's secret work to prison, she was not sure about their Will she be confessed?
When the time comes, her identity is completely exposed, how can she save her life?
In short, if the weight on her body is increased and increased, so heavy that Yu Wensheng wants to kill her, she has to seriously think about whether her life should be crushed to death, or whether she should keep it and make full use of its value.
Yu Wensheng's mood deteriorated visibly: "Are you making demands just for others?"
Wei Yao and others were immediately off guard by her.
The promise she asked for was not to make her prosperous? !
Zheng Quchi frowned slightly and disagreed with his statement: "They are not others, they are my family."
"I can promise you this, general, but are you sure you want to use the promise of risking your life to protect others?"
They are all said to be family members, but now he is "other people" and now "other people", making it seem as if he has no family members.
After Zheng Quchi finished cursing, he thought for a moment that he might be able to put in a few additional conditions, but he didn't dare to be honest, so he lowered his head and said quickly: "Of course, I can also enjoy the wages paid to craftsmen in this county. Just get there.”
Naturally, Yu Wensheng's ears would not miss her words. He raised his eyebrows and said in a voice that seemed to contain infinite beauty: "You only got in through the back door, and you still want to get the same wages as the craftsmen of Jixia Academy?"
Poof - a sharp knife stabs the heart.
Muke lowered his head even further. He was the "back door". There was nothing more embarrassing than being singled out by his boss as a negative example in public.
Zheng Quchi swallowed a mouthful of old blood, and in order to get the treatment he deserved, he planned to reason with him and settle the score.
"But if you use my method, how much rice can you save for the general? Xuanqing doesn't want to take credit. The main reason is that you don't know, general. I'm suffering. I have a stupid little girl in my family who needs treatment, and another one. My lame brother needs medical treatment, and recently a family member with an eye disease has been added to the family who needs medical treatment..."
Speaking of this, Zheng Quchi felt so miserable, with tears in his eyes.
When the others heard this, they looked at her in surprise.
What a miserable family this is!
If it weren't for the fact that the person in charge standing here right now was Living Yama, they would all want to give her some advice, give it to her, give it to her.
"What will they do if I keep spending time on fortifications? What should they do if I accidentally get into an accident? At least I want to make more money to buy them some things for the holidays and winter during the New Year. , and leave some money for them to cope with various difficulties."
Speaking of money, "Sang Xuanqing" seemed not to be afraid of anything all of a sudden. Yu Wensheng looked at her insistence on money, and for some reason suddenly thought of his wife Zheng Quchi.
She also seems to be very obsessed with money, and she did not hesitate to leave his side during the wedding period, insisting on working abroad to make money.
That's what the saying goes.
"Oh, it's for your family again. I feel your deep feelings. Why don't you do this? If you die in the line of duty, then I will send your pension to your Sang family. Do you think this is the way to pay you? How about your monthly payment?”
Zheng Quchi's face suddenly stiffened: "..."
He couldn't let her receive monthly money while she was alive, and had to wait for her to die before burning paper?
At this time, Wei Yao couldn't help but said something on behalf of Zheng Quchi, who looked miserable.
"General, what Sang Xuanqing said is true. I know this matter from my humble position. Sang Xuanqing's family is notoriously miserable in Hegou Village. His eldest brother is lame and his younger sister is still young but not very bright. In front of their house It was burned down not long ago and has just been repaired... If it weren't for his livelihood, he wouldn't have found someone to go through the back door and come across the street to do this hard and tiring job as a mason."
Zheng Quchi thought that Yu Wensheng would sympathize with her after hearing other people's evidence, so he nodded quickly.
Unexpectedly, Yu Wensheng was so cruel and cruel.
He seemed to find it very interesting, and added insult to injury: "If you are included, wouldn't your family be completely sick and disabled?"
There's no need...just add me.
Zheng Quchi black line.
Seeing that she looked like she had been struck by lightning, her little black face turned even darker. Yu Wensheng's bad taste was satisfied to a certain extent, and it became easier for him to talk: "Since your family is indeed as miserable as you said, then the salary will go up." Bar."
Selling miserably has a miraculous effect.
Zheng Quchi never gave him any chance to regret, and immediately responded: "Thank you, general."
Yu Wensheng looked at her with a smile, his penetrating gaze was like Zheng Quchi's unreserved in front of him.
"You made two requests at once, so let me make another request... Aren't you arrogantly saying that you can refine a kind of steel that is more powerful than iron? This general wants to witness how your steel is more powerful than iron. No matter where...as long as you show your value, I won't care about the things you hide behind your back."
Zheng Quchi's heart skipped a beat.
She raised her face, but after touching his eyes, she endured the fear and nervousness in her heart for the first time. She did not choose to avoid or lower her head, but forced her eyes to meet his.
"I didn't do anything..."
She remembered a rule of survival in the jungle. If you encounter a beast with strong attack power, you should quickly force yourself to calm down and look it in the eyes so that it cannot see your next move. You must not panic and run away.
However, Yu Wensheng stared at her bulging eyes, and something suddenly seemed wrong in his eyes.
He didn't pay much attention to Sang Xuanqing's appearance before, who would deliberately pay attention to a detail that could be solved at any time, but at this moment, he found that under the orange-red firelight, her facial features appeared three-dimensional, her facial contours, and her light brown eyes , giving him a sense of familiarity inexplicably.
Because of this inexplicable feeling of familiarity, his mind automatically recalled what she had said about her misfortune just now, as well as what Wei Yao had echoed and confirmed, and then he discovered something very strange and coincidental.
There is a lame brother in the same family, the same silly girl, the same house that was burned down...
"How many houses have been burned down in Hegou Village recently?" he asked quietly.
Zheng Quchi and Wei Yao were not sure who he was asking.
So, Zheng Quchi said: "...Well, it should be just our family."
Wei Yao also said: "There is only the Sang family in Hegou Village."
Yu Wensheng continued to ask: "Sang Xuanqing, why have you been asking about Liu Fengmian?"
When Zheng Quchi heard this, his scalp exploded.
How come Wang Zebang and Wei Yao, the sixth oldest, don't have any say in the matter, so they report everything to the leaders? !
Why are you asking about "Liu Fengmian"? Why? Zheng Quchi couldn't think of a persuasive reason at the moment, so he could only "squeak" for a long time.
Wang Zebang heard this strangely, Liu Fengmian?
He remembered, wasn't this the fake name he gave the general during the blind date?
But the name Liu Fengmian was not chosen out of thin air. There was indeed such a person, but what does this have to do with Sang Xuanqing? At that time, she asked him about the person named "Liu", and he thought he was some kind of contact or suspicious person, so he searched all over the camp.
Although Wei Yao was a little apologetic to Sang Xuanqing, he would not hide anything about her from the general, even if he did not want to see her criticized and forced by the general.
Because Zheng Quchi was mumbling for a long time without a reasonable explanation, at this time Yu Wensheng's eyes were lifeless and as dark as water.
He strode past the blocking people and walked towards Zheng Quchi.
At this time, everyone realized that something was wrong with the general, and the tense atmosphere that was about to break out made their hearts beat wildly. Some people wanted to persuade him, but at this moment, he was so filled with evil energy that they did not dare to say a word.
Wei Yao, on the other hand, wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but was kicked away by Yu Wensheng.
Wei Yao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shouted urgently: "General!"
