"What did you say?" Duanmu asked, rubbing his blurred eyes, "Are you going to catch us again tonight?"
"Didn't a few escape yesterday? Maybe someone will bring reinforcements tonight." Dong Qiangqiang patted Duanmu on the shoulder, "Are you coming?"
"Please spare me." Duanmu turned over angrily, facing inwards, thinking: I won't do this kind of life-threatening thing anymore, you can do it by yourself. But he said, "I have to prepare for the internship interview tomorrow. I have to go to the library to look for information in the afternoon, so I won't accompany you."
"You're right, the internship is more important." Dong Qiangqiang guessed that last night's experience might have had too much of an impact on him, so it would be good for him to take more rest. "Then let's calculate the wages."
Duanmu didn't move and said, "Well, we'll talk about it later." But his ears were straightened like antennas and he began to catch every word Dong Qiangqiang said.
"As we agreed yesterday, it's 50 marks an hour. I'll give you the working hours from 8 o'clock last night to 8 o'clock this morning. A total of 12 hours is 600 marks. After tax."
Duanmu understood as soon as he heard that Dong Qiangqiang counted his sleeping time as his working hours. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said to himself that he didn't expect Dong Qiangqiang to be quite capable of causing trouble.
"This was your normal salary just now. In addition, in view of your performance last night, you will get..." Dong Qiangqiang was about to say 'a bonus of 9,400 marks' when suddenly a thought came to his mind.
He suddenly remembered that when he first formed a team with Lei Lanting, he was also willing to give up profits to Lei Lanting.
But in the end Lei Lanting was very dissatisfied with his profit distribution plan and left him to start a new business.
If I give Duanmu a large sum of money now, will Duanmu become the second Lei Lanting?
Dong Qiangqiang had only heard a little about the principle of "fighting rice for favor" and "promoting rice for hatred" before, but now he slowly began to realize that the unknown side of human nature will always sprout from the smallest and most unexpected gap inadvertently, and then thrive. , blooming branches and leaves.
Dong Qiangqiang didn't want to go that far with Duanmu. He decided to give Duanmu less for now and look for opportunities later. If it were given to him directly, it might be counterproductive, and besides, he was worried that Duanmu would use the money to cover his position as soon as he turned around.
In an instant, he changed his words: "1,200 mark bonus. Of course, this is also after tax. Adding the 600 just now, the total is 1,800 marks."
Before Dong Qiangqiang finished speaking, Duanmu jumped up from the bed like a carp, grabbed Dong Qiangqiang's sleeve, and shouted loudly: "How much did you just say?"
"1800 marks after tax." Dong Qiangqiang said calmly, "Of course I can't give it to you now. I need to put it into the company's account first, and then I can send it to you after the accounting is done next week."
"No, just...just...one night...just 1,800 marks?" Duanmu couldn't believe his ears, "Are you kidding me?"
Seeing Duanmu's confused face, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly felt confused: Are he afraid of losing Duanmu as a friend, or is he stingy about money? He wanted to know if Duanmu knew his true income last night, would he fall out with him?
"You deserve this," Dong Qiangqiang patted his arm, "I just brought you some bread. You should go back as soon as you finish. Today is the weekend and there are few buses back to the city."
After Dong Qiangqiang finished speaking, he stood up and was about to go out, but Duanmu grabbed his arm. Dong Qiangqiang said doubtfully: "Bread and milk are on the table."
"No, I just suddenly remembered," Duanmu looked embarrassed, "I made a mistake, I won't have the interview until next week."
"In any case, the internship is more important. You can't lose the big for the small." Dong Qiangqiang said sternly, "I will come back to you when you are no longer busy."
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang rejecting him, Duanmu said anxiously: "No, I really remembered it wrong. I have nothing to do in the afternoon and nothing in the evening. Shall we continue?"
"real?"
"I'm about to graduate with a master's degree, and internship opportunities are overwhelming. Besides, I'm so smart, why do I need to prepare? When I get there, I can flick my transcript and get the job directly." Duanmu couldn't help bragging.
"Okay, you go home and have a rest now. We will meet here on time at eight o'clock in the evening."
"What about you?" Duanmu asked, stuffing the bun into his mouth.
"I have some things to take care of."
"I happen to be fine," Duanmu didn't expect that the other party had so many ways to make money, which made him both admired and jealous, and couldn't help but want to get closer to Dong Qiangqiang.
Dong Qiangqiang saw through his mind and patted his shoulder: "You eat first, we will set off soon."
Walking to a secluded corner of the backyard, Dong Qiangqiang dialed Lei Lanting's cell phone directly. To his surprise, a female voice appeared on the phone: "Hello?"
Dong Qiangqiang frowned and looked at the phone number. It was Lei Lanting's number.
"I'm looking for Lei Lanting," he said.
"Who are you?" the woman asked.
Dong Qiangqiang was confused: Did Lei Lanting not save his mobile phone number in his address book?
"I'm Dong Qiangqiang, he knows me..." Before Dong Qiangqiang finished speaking, Lei Lanting's questioning voice came from the receiver: "Why did you answer my call?"
Dong Qiangqiang was stunned for a moment, only to hear the woman's defense: "I thought you went out."
After a burst of noise, I heard Lei Lanting ask on the phone: "Me. What's the matter?"
"I want to ask you for the phone number and address of the company where you signed the contract."
"Do you want to discuss an extension with them?" Lei Lanting asked in a deep voice, "I tried it just now, but it didn't work."
"Just tell me."
"Wait a moment... No. 78 Farmer Street. 05116168. Mr. William."
Just as Dong Qiangqiang was about to hang up the phone, Lei Lanting suddenly said: "Sorry, I've caused you trouble this time."
"You're welcome." Dong Qiangqiang replied politely.
When the sun was about to set, Duanmu stepped out of the taxi, took out the iron cage from the trunk of the car and threw it to the ground. Dong Qiangqiang also got out of the car from the back door on the other side.
The taxi gradually went away. Duanmu picked up the iron cage wisely and rushed to walk in front. Dong Qiangqiang followed him. The two of them walked one after another on the road leading to the gate of the winery.
Just as Duanmu was about to find a topic, Dong Qiangqiang's cell phone rang.
"William called me just now," Lei Lanting asked, "saying that you had given the pig to him?"
"Yes." Dong Qiangqiang wrote lightly.
"Are you going to end my partnership with them?"
"It's us." Dong Qiangqiang gently corrected, "It's not you alone."
"Why do you do this?"
Dong Qiangqiang had long expected his reaction: "This kind of business with agreed time limit is prone to breach of contract and is not suitable for us."
"But I found the company, shouldn't I be the one to end it?" Lei Lanting became more and more angry as he spoke, and roared on the phone, "What you are doing is simply cutting off my way out!"
"You are overthinking," Dong Qiangqiang patiently advised, "No one wants to cut off your escape. You still have Luke's company."
"Dong Qiangqiang, you are too self-righteous!" Lei Lanting said angrily, "Let's wait and see!"
Lei Lanting threw the phone angrily, while Dong Qiangqiang looked at the pink sunset in the distant sky and calmly put the phone into his pocket.
