The sun is still scorching and the heat is still unbearable.
The construction site was still as busy as usual. Although everyone knew that Zhou Paopi refused to pay for Chen Feng's medical expenses, they were worried that they would get injured accidentally and have nowhere to complain. However, the pressure of life was like a mountain pressing on their shoulders, forcing them to engage in this high-risk job.
Chen Feng and Gazi walked into the construction site under the scorching sun.
"Hey, isn't that Chen Feng and Gazi?" Some sharp-eyed workers recognized the two.
"Hey, it's really them two." With a shout, many people noticed it and waved to Chen Feng and the other two.
Soon, Chen Feng and his companion were surrounded by migrant workers.
"Chen Feng, I didn't expect you to be so lucky. You are still fine after falling like this."
"That's right, Chen Feng is blessed with good fortune, how could anything go wrong?"
…
The people around him were concerned about each other, which made Chen Feng feel warm in his heart. Although these migrant workers lived at the bottom of society, they were more sincere than those so-called upper class people, and their concern was pure.
When they heard that Chen Feng and Gazi were here to ask for their wages, several older workers suddenly became anxious.
They all grabbed Chen Feng and Gazi.
"Chen Feng, I think you should just forget about this month's wages. Zhou Baopi is not an easy person to deal with. It is said that he has been very close to the local gangs recently." A co-worker who was usually on good terms with Chen Feng reminded him seriously.
"Yes, last week, Erlangzi's wife was about to give birth, and wanted to go to Zhou Paopi to settle her salary so that she could go home early. But Zhou Paopi insisted that he would not pay her salary until a full month." The person next to him had not finished speaking when another person took over the conversation.
"Later, Erlangzi got angry and started a fight with Zhou Paopi. Zhou Paopi called a few thugs and beat Erlangzi up. He even broke his hand!" The man said with some fear, "Erlangzi called the police, but the police didn't deal with the matter at all. Instead, they scolded Erlangzi."
"These days, rich people can do whatever they want. Chen Feng, uncle advises you to forget about this half month's wages and don't go looking for Zhou to skin you." One of the oldest workers said worriedly while smoking a cigarette.
After listening to the advice of his fellow workers, Chen Feng was even more moved. Even the Dao Heart that had been cultivated for thousands of years and merged with the soul of the Danzu moved slightly, and a sense of enlightenment came to him. As the Daozu, he was always high and mighty. Everyone feared him and fawned on him. Even his closest disciples followed the rules. When had they ever felt such friendship
The world of mortals is indeed a place that tests one's human heart. In the previous life, it was because Dao lacked these true human feelings in his heart that he was possessed by the inner demon at the critical moment. In the end, he failed and died.
In this life, let me enjoy these friendships.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Feng's mind was already full of thoughts. However, he quickly suppressed his thoughts, bowed to his co-workers, and said, "Uncle Li, brothers, thank you for your concern. However, I, Chen Feng, also have my own principles in doing things. What belongs to me, others can't take it away!" Then, he waved to the co-workers around him again and walked straight to Zhou Paopi's office.
Chen Feng knew in his heart that if he was timid and retreated when faced with difficulties, then there was no need for him to continue practicing Taoism!
"Gazi, please try to persuade him." Uncle Li hurriedly grabbed Gazi and said anxiously.
Gazi looked at Chen Feng who was walking with firm steps, a trace of determination flashed across his face, and he said: "Uncle, what Chen Feng got is right, it is what we deserve, and we can't let others get it!" As he said that, Gazi trotted a few steps, caught up with Chen Feng, and walked side by side with him.
"These two children..." Uncle Li looked at their backs and couldn't help but sigh.
"Uncle, what Chen Feng said makes sense!" Several young men murmured behind him. Uncle Li looked back and saw that the migrant workers behind him no longer had the panic they had just seen, but instead had deep agreement in their eyes.
…
squeak-
Pushing open the simple iron door, a cool breeze immediately hits you. Compared to the heat outside, this place is simply like heaven.
Zhou Paopi was lying on his chair with his legs crossed, playing Landlord, looking very happy. When he saw Chen Feng and Gazi pushing the door in, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Hey, Chen Feng, your injury is healed. I knew that with your physique, nothing would happen if you fell!" Zhou Pa Pi said hypocritically while still lying comfortably in the boss chair.
"It's okay, you won't die!" Chen Feng's face was calm, but his tone was slightly cold.
Zhou Paopi seemed not to understand Chen Feng's implication. He still had a fake smile on his face and said, "Since your injury has healed, you can continue to work. You have been absent from work for half a month."
"There's no need to go to work. This time, Gazi and I are here to resign and settle this month's salary." Chen Feng's tone was surprisingly calm, without any fluctuation.
After hearing what Chen Feng said, Zhou Bapi's face suddenly turned cold!
"What? You resigned, but you're so ashamed to come and ask for your salary? Do you think this is a charity?" Zhou Paopi was furious. He slammed the table and stood up. "I'm telling you, you've been absent from work for half a month, and the first half of the month's salary has been deducted."
"Aren't you cheating?" Upon hearing this, Gazi pointed at Zhou Paopi and cursed.
"Playing tricks, what's wrong with me playing tricks!" Zhou Paopi shouted arrogantly: "This is my territory, what I say is what it is. You either get out of here or stay and continue to work!"
"Fuck you!" Gazi got angry and punched him.
Bang!
Zhou Paopi was hit hard in the face, and his head was hit hard against the wall by the huge force of Gazi's punch.
"Ouch!" Zhou Paopi screamed in pain. He squatted on the ground motionless with his hands covering his left face. He couldn't help but cry and snot flow down. After a while, Zhou Paopi stood up.
Covering his swollen and red left cheek, Zhou Paopi shouted angrily: "You little beast, how dare you hit me. I will kill you today!" As he said that, he picked up the ashtray on the table and hit Gazi with it.
"Fuck you, you fat guy, I'm going to risk it all today! Either give us our salary, or I'll beat you so hard that your mother won't even recognize you!" Gazi dodged Zhou Baopi's ashtray, then grabbed Zhou Baopi by the collar and shouted!
"You little bastard, I just won't give it to you!" Zhou Paopi was quite tough. He glared at him and hit Gazi's head with the ashtray in his hand.
Be careful! Chen Feng was about to stop him, but he found that his body's speed was not enough to stop Zhou Baopi's actions, so he could only give a loud warning.
When Gazi heard Chen Feng's reminder, he quickly turned his head to the side. But it was too late. Although he avoided the vital parts, the square corners of the ashtray still cut across Gazi's face like a knife.
Suddenly, a warm current accompanied by a tearing pain slowly flowed across his face, and a big cut was left on Gazi's face.
"Fuck you!" Stimulated by the blood, Gazi's bloodiness was immediately aroused. He raised his fist and punched Zhou Paopi in the face.
ah-
Zhou Paopi screamed, and the ashtray in his right hand fell down. He used his free hands to cover his nose and mouth. A stream of blood kept flowing out from between his five fingers, and Zhou Paopi spat out a few gray teeth.
Gazi seemed very angry. He grabbed Zhou Baopi's hair again and was about to punch him.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! I'll give you money, isn't that enough?" Zhou Paopi no longer cared about covering his nose with his hands. He hurriedly stood in front of Gazi, shaking constantly. The blood on his face made him look so miserable.
…
"You're such a jerk, aren't you? If you just take it out earlier, everything will be fine!" Gazi grabbed the money from Zhou Paopi's hand, counted it carefully, and nodded: "Yes, that's right, half a month's salary is 800 per person, exactly 1600."
"Okay, let's go!" Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chen Feng waved his hand and walked out of Zhou Paopi's office first.
"Hmph!" Gazi gave Zhou Paopi a fierce look and hurriedly followed him out!
"You two beasts, I'll let you get out!" Zhou Paopi shouted viciously, then quickly picked up his cell phone and made a call.
