Duan Mingjie did not let Lu Yao cook alone. The couple went downstairs to cook at around four o'clock.
After cooking, the two of them ate in the kitchen for fear of waking up the rest of the family.
After drinking a bowl of porridge, Duan Mingjie's stomach felt much better.
Seeing that his expression had recovered a little, Lu Yao asked, "Do you have any idea? Do you think they will find workers for us?"
Duan Mingjie smiled at her, "I gave them benefits, I believe they will find it."
Lu Yao: "I'm worried that Qi Congwei will cut off Hu again."
Duan Mingjie sneered, "If that's the case, then I'll wait for him to go bankrupt."
Gu Fulan and Feng Wei woke up and found that they had finished eating.
Duan Mingjie looked at Feng Wei, "Why are you here?"
Feng Wei rolled his eyes at him, "I didn't leave last night."
Lu Yao said to them, "The rice is ready. You can heat it up and eat it."
After speaking, Lu Yao said to Duan Mingjie, "I still have something to do at school, so I should go early today."
Duan Mingjie: "I'll give it to you."
"No, you can hurry up and get busy after Feng Wei finishes eating."
After saying that, Lu Yao went back to the house, picked up the book and left.
Feng Wei patted Duan Mingjie on the shoulder, "Old Duan, your wife is so kind to you."
Duan Mingjie turned and glared at him, "Of course my wife is nice to me."
"No," Feng Wei shook his head, "I thought before that you were the one taking care of your younger siblings, and your younger siblings are not people who can take care of others. I only found out last night that your younger siblings are a good woman."
Feng Wei told him what Lu Yao told Duan Mingjie last night.
Duan Mingjie was sweet but heartbroken when he heard how kind Yaoyao was to him.
Feng Wei: "Cherish your wife."
Duan Mingjie pursed his lips. Only by settling the workers' matter now would his wife stop worrying.
"Let's go and see if the people we looked for yesterday have gone to the construction site."
"OK!"
The two came to the construction site, but did not see the workers.
Duan Mingjie curled his lips and was not surprised.
Seeing them coming, Lao Li ran over and said, "Someone came over just now and called away more than 20 workers."
Duan Mingjie nodded and suddenly smiled.
Feng Wei looked at him, "Are you still in the mood to laugh?"
"Qi Congwei wants to die, of course I want to laugh, but I want to see how long he can last."
Hearing this, Lao Li looked at Duan Mingjie and hesitated to speak.
"Brother Li, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Lao Li looked at Duan Mingjie and said, "Xiao Duan, I have something to tell you. Don't be angry first."
"There is no more bad news now, just say, I can bear it."
Lao Li sighed, "Yesterday, I followed your instructions to pick up the work at the construction site. I made a good promise when I left. But in the evening, they came to my house and told me that the contract would be given to someone else."
It may be a coincidence, but it is no coincidence that all the construction sites he visited were blocked.
"They said other people were offering lower prices than we were."
You'll know who it is as soon as you hear it.
Duan Mingjie laughed angrily.
"Okay, pretty good."
Duan Mingjie continued, "Our plan remains unchanged. Brother Li, you are still going to pick up the construction site. Be smarter this time and sign the contract with the owner and put your fingerprints."
Lao Li frowned, "It's just a house. People may not be willing to sign a contract for us. Moreover, we don't have any workers now. What will happen if the construction is not completed on time?"
"You don't have to worry about this, just do as I say."
Lao Li: "Okay! I'll pick you up again."
After finishing speaking, Lao Li looked not far away. His eyes widened a little, as if he didn't believe it. After seeing clearly, he looked at Duan Mingjie, "Xiao Duan, Qi Congwei is here."
Duan Mingjie was startled, then turned around and saw the middle-aged man walking towards them.
The man is wearing a Chinese tunic suit and gold-rimmed glasses, giving him the impression of an elegant scholar.
When he got closer, Qi Congwei reached out his hand, "Hello, I'm Qi Congwei."
Duan Mingjie didn't deliberately put on airs and stretched out his hand to hold it back.
"Hello, I'm Duan Mingjie."
Qi Congwei took back his hand, "I know you, we finally met today."
Duan Mingjie: "Are you looking forward to meeting me?"
"Of course, I would like to meet the man that Zheng Weiguo's daughter likes."
"Do you hate me now?"
Duan Mingjie smiled, "Not really. I have been in the capital for almost a year, and everything has been smooth sailing. Your appearance reminded me that there are ups and downs in life, and I just have to find a way to get over them."
"You're confident."
Duan Mingjie: “If you don’t have any confidence in yourself, you won’t be able to accomplish anything.”
Qi Congwei smiled at him, with a harmless look, "Young man, you can't fight me. I didn't mean to target you, but who made your lover be Zheng Weiguo's daughter?"
Duan Mingjie: "Whether we can win or not, we can wait and see."
Qi Congwei didn't expect Duan Mingjie to be so harsh.
"Young man, don't talk so eloquently. Now that I have decided, I am fully prepared. As long as I am here, you will not be able to pick up any construction sites in the capital, and workers will not follow you. Unless, you follow I'm the same, offering a high price."
"The market is messed up by people like you. You have raised labor prices and lowered costs for your own selfish desires. Your original intention is to see me fail. When I fail, you will leave and come to the capital to work on construction sites." How can a selfish person like you do this? How dare you be proud of the locals?"
Hearing this, Qi Congwei smiled.
"He's quite good at swearing."
He had long heard that Zheng Weiguo's son-in-law was a bastard who had bad luck and married an educated youth who went to the countryside. He thought he was a reckless man who was easy to deal with, but now that they had a fight, he found that he was not.
It seems that you still can't underestimate your opponent too much.
Duan Mingjie snorted, "I'm not scolding you, but I would like to advise you, don't act impulsively and lose all your family property. In the end, it has no impact on me at all. By then it will be too late to regret."
Qi Congwei laughed out loud, "Doesn't it affect you? As far as I know, the Education Bureau got the news about your work suspension. Many people reported that they want to kick you out of this construction site."
Hearing this, Duan Mingjie frowned.
"It seems you don't know yet. If you don't believe it, you can go to the Education Bureau and ask. I know you have a good relationship with Director Zhao. Let's guess how long Director Zhao can protect you?"
Duan Mingjie clenched his fingers and really wanted to go up and punch him.
Qi Congwei smiled at him, "It's actually very simple for me to stop. As long as you meet my requirements, I will return all the workers and give you the completed construction site, so I won't embarrass you anymore."
Duan Mingjie stared at him, "What do you want?"
The smile on Qi Congwei's face disappeared instantly, "I want Zheng Weiguo to apologize to my sister!"
Duan Mingjie said without thinking, "You are dreaming!"
