Chapter 467 The Bottom Line of a Businessman
"Uncle Yaohua, what's the matter?"
Nanyi was chewing a roasted sheep egg, and Xiaohua handed him the phone.
"Nanyi, an acquaintance of mine had an accident in Xiangtang, please arrange for someone to help."
"How big is it?"
"Actually, nothing happened. My acquaintance swam over and worked on a construction site for three months. On the day when the wages were due, the uniformed police went to arrest people. But the wages were not paid, and now I have no money to eat. "
"Oh, I just want money, Uncle Yaohua, does the other party have a phone number?"
"Yes, leave me a public phone number, I don't know if I can get through." Xian Yaohua said.
"Then you call him now. If you can get to Temple Street in two hours, let him come here now. Take a taxi. I will pay for the car for him."
"Nanyi, are you in Xiangtang?"
"Yes, I have something to do, stay for two days and leave."
"Okay, I'll call now."
"Well, let's do that first."
Nan Yi hung up the phone, and Nan Ruobing handed him two skewers of roasted pig's eyes, "Dad, try it, this is delicious, once you bite down, the eyeballs will burst out, bouncing in your mouth."
"You did it on purpose. Don't order the normal ones. Just order roasted lamb eggs, lamb kidneys, and roasted pig's eyes. Say, what more weird things did you order?" Nan Yi took the roasted pig's eyes, stuffed He took two of them into his mouth, chewed them and said.
"I also ordered roasted pig brains and roasted silkworm chrysalis. Dad, here are pig tails. Would you like some?"
"You can order it if you want, but the pig's tail, where is your tail delicious? Come here, let Dad take two bites, and see if you want to add some chili."
Nan Yi opened his mouth full of spices, pretending to be scary, and rushed towards Nan Ruofing.
Nan Ruofing put her little hand against Nan Yi's chin, giggling, the father and daughter ate while arguing, having a great time. The two of them didn't eat very quickly. Just now, Xian Yaorong called again, saying that his acquaintance had come to Temple Street.
After the barbecue was finished, Nanyi ordered two more Shuangpi Nai, and when the dessert arrived, a middle-aged man walked over to their table cautiously.
"Nanyi?"
"I am, are you Uncle Tu Gen?" Nan Yi asked, standing up from his seat.
"Yes, yes, I am Huang Tugen, Yaohua asked me to come here." Huang Tugen nodded hurriedly.
While speaking, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the leftovers on the table.
Nan Yi saw it, and took a closer look at Huang Tugen's face. His face was covered with sweat, and his cheeks were flushed. He must have run over. His eye sockets were sunken, showing a little dish, and he probably hadn't eaten a few meals.
"Uncle Tugen, the Jidi porridge next door is delicious. I'm about to order a few bowls to eat. You haven't eaten yet, let's go together."
"No, no, I've eaten." Huang Tugen swallowed and said politely.
"Eat a little more after eating. We are eating. How ugly you look at the side." Nanyi said, calling the guy from the barbecue shop over, and asking him to go to the next door and order Liuwan Jidi porridge, by the way A few more beers.
After a while, the clerk came over with a few bottles of San Miguel beer, which were chilled and the temperature was just right.
Nanyi didn't need a bottle opener either. He pulled the bottle cap open with three fingers and lifted it up. He picked up the upside-down glass on the table and poured a glass for Huangtugen first. "Drink a cup of Runrun first." voice."
Huang Tugen looked at the light yellow, cold beer in the glass, couldn't help but gurgled again, looked up at Nanyi, then hurriedly picked up the wine glass, gurgled it all into his stomach.
Nanyi refilled him with wine again, then took a new glass and poured himself a glass.
"Uncle Tu Gen, how many people are working with you on the construction site?"
"Six, we came here together."
"Where do you live now?"
"In a dilapidated house over there in Sham Shui Po."
"Apart from farming, have you ever done other work in your hometown?" Nan Yi asked.
"I know a little carpentry, I've been a mason, and I've built bridges before."
"What kind of bridge? A stone bridge? A reinforced concrete bridge? Or a steel structure?"
"Stone Arch Bridge."
"Oh, Uncle Tu Gen has studied?"
"Three years of elementary school."
"Uncle Tugen, from your accent, you should be from Pingzhou, right?"
"From Oura."
"Oh, Yangcheng and Shenzhen are actually quite good now, why are you still running to Xiangtang?"
"I just gave birth to a third child at the beginning of this year."
"Punishment?"
"A lot." Huang Tugen said calmly.
"Oh, let's talk about working on the construction site. Why is it such a coincidence that uniformed police officers come to copy you on the day when you should pay your wages?"
"We were introduced by a person who came together. The boss at the construction site was very kind. He would make soup for us when we usually ate, but it was not easy to pay our wages. It was supposed to be paid once a month, but he I kept procrastinating again and again, and finally said that I would pay the money on the day the work was finished, and the result..."
Nanyi understood as soon as he heard it. How could such a coincidence happen?
"What's the name of the boss at the construction site?"
"Ye Chengcai."
"Where is the construction site?"
"On the edge of Diamond Hill, in Po Kong Village."
"Village house?"
"It's a village house. Five or six buildings were built together. When we went there, the frame was already ready, and we mainly did interior decoration."
"Well, how many days did Ye Chengcai promise to give you?"
"I'm a master chef, and I'll give you 80 yuan. Others are considered laborers, and I'll give you 45 yuan a day."
"The other people count as 5,000 for three months, and you count as 8,000 here. The total is 33,000. I will help you recover your wages. I will charge you 3,000 as a favor fee."
As Nanyi said, he took out a stack of 500 Hong Kong dollars from his pocket, counted 60 of them, and put them on the table closest to Huangtugen, "I'll give you the money, and I'll take care of the rest."
Huang Tugen looked at the money on the table, then at Nanyi, then lowered his head to look at the money, hesitated for a while, and pushed the money to Nanyi, "I can't take this money, our wages If you don’t come back, you can just lend me 2,000 yuan first, we can go out and find a job after we have dinner, and I will pay you back immediately after the wages are paid.”
Huang Tugen has not studied for a few years, but the wages are still clear. The combined wages of the six of them are about 27,000. Nanyi who is opposite said that they charged them 3,000 as a benefit fee, but in fact they paid 3,000 yuan. , obviously looking at Xian Yaorong's face and pitying him.
"Uncle Tu Gen, just take it. If you can't get the wages, it doesn't mean I can't get them. Don't worry, I will definitely not lose money. I will go to find that Ye Chengcai you mentioned. If he can get it, he will even pay for my errand fees."
"Can you really get it?"
"Really, I still have some energy in Xiangtang. There is no problem with such trivial matters. Eat it, let's not talk about it, the porridge is here, let's have porridge."
As Nanyi was speaking, he happened to see a worker from the shop next door coming with a tray containing several bowls of porridge, so he stopped his voice and helped the waiter take out the porridge bowls. superior.
"Uncle Tu Gen, you go first, you probably haven't eaten for several meals, so drink some watery water to pad your stomach first, otherwise it will hurt your stomach."
Nanyi’s words can only be said now, not when the order was placed just now. Saying it at that time would hurt Huang Tugen’s self-esteem. This will be different. The two of them have already chatted. It is not so guarded anymore, and people are not so alienated.
Nanyi used to be hungry. He didn't eat for three and a half days, so he just went to the public toilet to drink some water to satisfy his hunger. But he didn't want to accept other people's charity. He would rather go to the trash can to find something to eat when he couldn't bear it. of.
The egg tart he ate for the first time came from a trash can.
As far as Nanyi thinks, it is understandable to play tricks and do despicable things in business. Shopping malls are places where people cannibalize people, and there are no good people who can survive.
But no matter what, there should be a bottom line, you can't bully poor people, you can't not give others money for their lives.
Nanyi has already decided to take care of Huangtugen's matter. He must deal with Ye Chengcai well. No matter what reason Ye Chengcai has for playing such a trick, Nanyi will educate him well.
