"Hua Zi, I went for a run in the mountains in the evening to exercise."
"Ah, yes, Uncle Chen." Lang Hua stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and nodded to the old man, "Exercising in the afternoon is good for your health."
Old man Chen smiled and said with concern: "You can't go into the forest. The mountain monkeys are very ferocious this season."
"Don't worry," Lang Hua touched his pocket without leaving any trace, "I'm not going up the mountain, I'm just walking around on the road outside the fence of the Environmental Management Bureau."
"well."
Lang Hua leaned into the old man's ear and whispered: "Uncle Chen, the package I asked you to sign for some time ago..."
The old man also replied in a mysterious whisper: "Don't worry, they are all in the house in your backyard. But Xiaohua, hunting is illegal now. Bows and arrows can hurt yourself if you don't use them properly..."
Lang Hua's eyes flashed, and then he smiled and assured: "Don't worry, I will buy it for my collection. But... you must not tell Uncle Yang, Uncle Wang and the others, they know... I’ll be worried too.”
"Okay, Xiaohua, you know the answer, I can rest assured, old man."
"Then you're busy, so I'll go over first."
"well."
Old man Chen turned out to be a tenant near the Yang family community. He had no children and opened a grocery store on the corner to make a living. Later, when the one-story buildings in the shanty town were renovated in Shashi District 3, the old man had no place to go, so Lang Hua simply took him to the base to work as a guard. The old man is very satisfied with his new job as he takes care of food and housing every month and also gets a salary.
At that time, the construction of the base was beginning, and there was a lot of construction work, and only construction workers came in and out. Old man Chen has no relatives. He is too old to be cautious about new things and does not ask too many questions. He is the best candidate to be the gatekeeper of the secret base.
And there seemed to be no flaws in the package that was secretly signed for.
"Xiaohua, you're back."
"Oh, it's Uncle Wang."
The middle-aged man who walked towards him was called Wang De, and he was a subordinate in the original company of his adoptive father Yang Bensheng. After working on projects with Yang Bensheng for several years, Wang De gained experience and savings. After that, he organized a construction team to work alone, and even took away many experienced key workers at the time.
Although the slogan is "It's better to be your own boss than to work for others", in fact the small company listed by Wang De's trustee is just a show-stopper. Several years later, it still maintains the size of the original construction team. The people who followed him made a little more money than before, but their sufferings doubled. Coupled with the poor prospects of the construction industry in the past two years, Wang De's single-minded focus on power has led to internal management chaos, and many of his subordinates have criticized him.
The timing of what happened that year was good, and it did not have any bad impact on the operations of Yang Bensheng's company. It can be said that they got together and parted easily, and they just unilaterally gave up the renewal of the labor contract after it expired.
And Yang Bensheng is a very affectionate person. He has helped Wang De and others many times after they were in trouble. In recent years, they have cooperated a lot during the project construction stage, and the surplus work is often outsourced to them for construction.
Lang Hua saw this clearly and spent half a year frequently appearing in Yang Bensheng's company, taking care of affairs, and establishing his image as the heir. Then he found Wang De privately and outsourced the task of building a secret base to him in the name of Yang Bunsheng.
Of course, he only said that he was contracting the municipal company for the breeding community project.
Because the construction site is far away from the urban area, Lang Hua may arouse suspicion and cause trouble.
The payment of project funds is a customary delay. Lang Hua has been vague about other issues, but judging from today's posture, it is impossible to avoid questioning. But Lang Hua is not afraid. There is only one month left before the disaster, and he can't make much waves.
As long as the location of the secret base is not exposed.
For this reason, Lang Hua was already prepared to take extraordinary measures.
Whether it's grounding or... killing people.
This was one of the reasons why he chose Wang De. Uncle Yang can forgive Wang De for what he did. But in Lang Hua's view, leaving without warning is undoubtedly a drain on the fire. Even if it does not delay "cooking", it is an undeniable act of betrayal.
And those who betray will always die without mercy.
Lang Hua walked very fast, but after the two missed a step, Wang De still hurriedly said: "Xiaohua, why haven't you seen Uncle Yang come to the construction site to check?"
As soon as Lang Hua touched his pocket, the irritability in his eyes disappeared, and when he turned his head, he had a smiling face.
"Ahaha, Uncle Wang, I didn't tell you before." Lang Hua deliberately puffed out his chest, "I'm not young anymore, and Uncle Yang has given me full responsibility for this project. If you have any questions, you can ask him directly on the phone."
Lang Hua expected that Wang De would never take the initiative to talk to Yang Bensheng because he felt guilty.
As expected, Wang De laughed and said quickly: "No, no, no, how can that be possible? I just miss you, Uncle Yang..."
Lang Hua couldn't help but curled his lips secretly: "Uncle Wang, I'm going to the backyard first. I have something else to do."
"Wait a minute, Xiaohua."
Lang Hua narrowed his eyes, unwilling to engage in useless conversation.
But Wang De seemed invisible and continued to speak with his hands on his hips: "Xiaohua, I have advanced all the project fees at this stage. I know this is a rule, but it is a breeding community and the wall is only three meters long. Is it too much to ask for alloy reinforcement? This cost is beyond the scope of your humble family like Uncle Wang and I..."
Lang Hua couldn't help but curse: This old fox, did you think that I am young enough to speak?
He looked serious and business-like: "Uncle Wang, you agreed to this in the contract. Cutting corners is a taboo in the industry. And this is also the owner's request. You know, in the past two years, in the mountains, The wild beasts are still very ferocious, so it wouldn’t be good if they cause losses to farmers.”
"Oh, we don't want to regret it." Wang De acted like he understood, but then he was confused, "But Xiaohua, look, my group of old guys are busy working on this project. It’s been two or three months, shouldn’t I take a few days off?”
Lang Hua still smiled apologetically: "Oh, Uncle Wang, I told you before that the construction period is very tight this time. And you see that it is almost finished. How about troublesome uncles and uncles to work overtime for a few more days?"
"Haha, it's natural. We all work on engineering projects, so we still understand the principle of meeting deadlines. But these days, the autumn tiger is showing off its power, and the weather is sultry. Do you think of the overtime pay and high temperature subsidies, Xiaohua?"
"Don't worry, I will go back to the company to fill in the documents for you. In one month, the final batch of project funds will definitely be in your hands."
"That's good, that's good. Xiaohua, I'm sure I can rest assured when you do things."
After Lang Hua nodded in greeting, he ran towards the backyard laboratory without looking back.
Wang De stayed where he was, his smile gradually fading.
He turned his head and spat on the sand: "Bah, you little bastard, what the hell are you doing!"
