"These workers didn’t know in advance, and it was indeed because Liu Qiang, that unscrupulous boss, threatened them with their wages that they did such a foolish thing."
"Most of them are migrant workers from other villages nearby, with elderly parents and children to support back home. If we really arrested them, their families would definitely cause an uproar in our village." Fınd the newest release on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥
In rural areas, many things can’t be taken too seriously. Plus, these people really haven’t done anything too dreadful.
Ma Zhiming hesitated and looked at Jiang Man.
Jiang Man looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, asking with some concern,
"What if they cause trouble again next time?"
"Don’t worry, they wouldn’t dare. I guarantee it."
"Thank you, Chairman, thank you, Dr. Zhang. We, we will definitely turn over a new leaf."
The workers sighed with relief.
Zhang Xiaoshan walked up in front of the workers and said loudly,
"I’ve given you a chance today, but remember, if there’s a next time, it won’t be let off so easily."
"You must work hard from now on. Anyone who dares to slack off or be negligent will have to settle new grudges together with the old ones."
"We, we will definitely work hard to get the school built as soon as possible."
Led by the foreman, a group of workers expressed their commitment.
"Alright, go back to work now. First, set the toppled fence back up."
The workers immediately ran towards the construction site.
"With both kindness and severity, these workers will surely work twice as hard in the future. This kid is brave, has a kind heart, and is smart too. Little Man, you’ve found yourself a pretty good lover," Qi Hong whispered, teasing Jiang Man.
Jiang Man began to respond with pride, but then she realized what was being implied.
"Elder sister, what are you talking about? We are friends, just friends."
"Hehe, keep pretending. There are too many people here, but when we’re alone, I’ll interrogate you properly," Qi Lan said with a mischievous smile.
"Sister Man, thank you."
Zhang Xiaoshan stepped forward and thanked Jiang Man.
"Hehe, we’re all family here, no need to thank me."
Before he could say more, Qi Hong greeted Zhang Xiaoshan with a beaming smile.
Jiang Man gently pinched Qi Hong.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Qi Hong, puzzled.
"This is Director Qi from the city’s publicity office."
"Oh, Director Qi, nice to meet you."
Zhang Xiaoshan reached out to shake her hand.
"Hehe, what Director Qi? I am Little Man’s elder sister; you can just call me Sister Hong," Qi Hong said with a laugh, extending her hand for a shake, her hand feeling soft and boneless.
In that moment of handshake, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately felt a strong surge of Qi.
He looked at Qi Hong with more curiosity.
This woman seemed to be a married lady.
But why was her Qi so abundant?
Could it be that there was discord in her family life?
But after all, she was Jiang Man’s elder sister, so he dared not to overstep, and they parted soon after.
"My sister is here on a mission to make an internal report for various agencies in the city, and she needs to conduct an interview and take some photos," Jiang Man said proactively.
"Alright, Mr. Xu, you are familiar with the situation; please report to Director Qi."
"Sister Man, Supervisor Ma, you two come with me to the village office, I have something I need to report to you both privately."
With their tasks divided, the three of them headed towards the village office.
Watching Jiang Man walk together with Zhang Xiaoshan, Xu Jing felt inexplicably angry—jealous, that was.
But she wasn’t even Zhang Xiaoshan’s girlfriend, so what right did she have to be upset?
Immediately, tears of grievance began to flow.
"Mr. Xu, let’s go check out the construction site. Hey, why are you crying?"
Qi Hong noticed Xu Jing’s distress.
"My eyes got some sand in them. Let’s go, move on."
Xu Jing rubbed her eyes and headed towards the school.
Qi Hong, being experienced in matters of the heart, quickly caught on to what was happening.
"It seems this kid isn’t as innocent as he appears. He probably has quite a few romantic debts in the village."
"Heh, this kid is quite interesting."
