Chapter 46 The Forty-Sixth Day of Not Running Away The Forty-Sixth Day of Not Running Away...

The construction team leader that Chen Bo was looking for was a man named Wang Lengzi.

Wang Lengzi retired from the army last year and had a job in a state-owned enterprise, but he said he couldn't stand it, so he quit and started working on construction projects with a group of retired brothers.

Wen Chan and Chen Bozheng went to see him in the morning. Wang Lengzi was dark-skinned and strong, wearing a cotton-padded jacket. From behind, he looked like Zuo Shandiao (a famous eagle).

“This is your sister-in-law, brother. You’re so lucky.” A hint of amazement flashed in Wang Lengzi’s eyes. He nodded to Wen Chan, then turned to Chen Bozheng and said, “We need to demolish the houses on this land first. If you’ve thought it through, we’ll start construction today.”

Wen Chan was somewhat surprised: "So soon?"

Wang Lengzi said, "We have to be in a hurry. A bunch of brothers are waiting to start working and make money. What do you say, brother?"

Chen Bozheng said, "Since Brother Wang has said so, let's start construction today. I'll have someone buy a string of firecrackers. Even if we're not particular, we should at least show some appreciation."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Wang Lengzi chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

There was a small shop in the village, and Wen Chan and Chen Bo were walking over to buy something, while also inquiring about Wang Lengzi. "This guy really is as stubborn as his name suggests. Is he really starting work today?"

Chen Bozheng nodded. "He was introduced by a friend. He came from the military. He's too honest. He directly accused the leaders of embezzlement at a factory meeting and got fired."

He took out his money and asked the shop owner for a string of 100 firecrackers.

Wen Chan's lips twitched. "Can this person be trusted? Honesty is one thing, but whether he can get things done is what matters."

If someone is honest but can't get things done, then they're actually worse off than someone who's honest but can get things done.

Chen Bozheng said, "They are responsible for building houses in the army, so their workmanship is good. As for purchasing cement and steel bars, I told him that I would provide the materials and they would just provide the labor. He is the kind of person who hates haggling with people, so he couldn't be happier with this arrangement."

Hearing this, Wen Chan was completely relieved.

Although Chen Bozheng had never built a factory before, his experience over the past few days was clearly genuine. He handled things very well, truly impeccable.

"Give them money when you should. Buy them cigarettes and treat them to meals. You've already covered most of the expenses. Don't be stingy in a small place."

Chen Bo raised an eyebrow and glanced at Wen Chan, his expression neither smiling nor frowning.

Seeing his expression, Wen Chan touched her face and asked, "What's wrong? Is my face dirty?"

Chen Bo shook his head, suppressing a laugh, "I started working in society when I was around ten years old. I never thought I would hear someone giving me such advice."

Wen Chan blushed and kicked Chen Bozheng in an annoyed tone, "No good deed goes unpunished."

"I didn't say there wouldn't be any good reward. Isn't this why I want to thank you?" Chen Bo said with a smile, his eyebrows dancing with excitement and full of youthful vigor.

Wen Chan was a little overwhelmed by his bright smile, snorted, and looked away.

How come this person is so tanned, yet still so good-looking?

"Try wearing the suit I bought you later. I won't give it to you as a gift; just keep it at the bottom of your trunk."

Chen Bo touched his ear: "You want to see?"

Wen Chan: "..."

Straight men really don't know how to be tactful.

When the two of them returned, Wang Lengzi had already gone to tell the village chief, who was also Guangren's grandfather, about the matter. Grandpa Guangren came over with his men, first congratulating Chen Bozheng, and then inquiring about the job.

Chen Bozheng said, "Village chief, here's the thing. Instead of having the people in your village work in the auto repair shop, why don't we build a hotel for you? Think about it, most of the time, you have to wait half a day to get your car repaired, especially for long-distance drivers who need a place to sleep. If you build a hotel, the drivers can eat, drink, and relieve themselves there, and the village can create more than thirty jobs."

When Grandpa Guang first heard about the things his post was going to boast about, he was very unhappy, but when he heard that a hotel was going to be built, his expression changed.

"Are they really going to build us a hotel?"

Grandpa Guang understood the difference between an egg and a hen that laid it.

"Don't worry, you won't have to pay a single penny," Chen Bozheng said. "We'll cover the cost."

"I'm so sorry, but since you put it that way, it's settled then," said Grandpa Guang. "Let's not rush to sign the contract. You can come and sign it when you have time. I'll have someone print out the agreement later."

Wen Chan smiled, pursing her lips, standing to the side.

The old man is more cunning than a honeycomb briquette. Their factory is built on land belonging to someone's village. How could they dare to offend or cheat the locals?

Putting everything else aside, if they get angry and bring a few old men and women to block the entrance of your factory, you'll have to kneel down to them.

After taking a stroll around, Wen Chan was completely relieved. Before leaving, she instructed Chen Bozheng, "That Young Master Lin, he's been targeting you for no reason. I have a feeling something's not right. Maybe Boss Song knows something about this. If you have any friends in there, have someone inquire about it."

Chen Bozheng nodded, "I know. Be careful when you go to Shanghai, and don't overexert yourself."

He paused abruptly, then, seeing the fat man and Liu Yan step aside, he pulled Wen Chan aside at the airport exit and whispered, "Even if you really lose everything in the stocks, don't get upset. My auto repair shop will be finished in a month, and once it opens, we'll start making money. Your health is the most important thing, you know?"

Wen Chan was surprised that he would say such things at this time. She looked down at Chen Bozheng's hands. Chen Bozheng's hands were big and rough, with calluses all over his palms. Compared to the high-quality men she knew in her previous life, they were worlds apart.

But Wen Chan's heart had never been beating so fast before.

"Lower your head," Wen Chan said.

Chen Bo lowered his head in confusion.

The next second, he smelled a fragrant aroma and his lips were suddenly slapped. Before he could react, he realized what was happening.

Wen Chan had already gone inside with her suitcase.

"Sister-in-law, you were awesome just now," the fat man teased Wen Chan after boarding the plane.

Wen Chan leaned her hand against the wall and rolled her eyes at the fat man, "Go away, haven't you heard of 'don't look at what you shouldn't'?"

The fat man chuckled and said, "Sorry, next time you should let us know in advance, and we'll definitely avoid you. Otherwise, we'll cover our eyes, and we're guaranteed not to see anything."

Wen Chan was both annoyed and amused.

The fat man knew his limits; after a few jokes, he started discussing airplane food with Liu Yan.

Wen Chan looked out the window and saw many ground staff members wearing fluorescent uniforms running around directing traffic. In the distance, a few thin birch trees could be vaguely seen on the barren mountains.

Her fingers unconsciously touched her lips.

He's gone mad, he must be insane.

Why did she suddenly...?

It must be male beauty that's alluring!

"Brother Zheng, you're back. Let's go to the construction site now." Lin Qingfeng and the monk were waiting at the Chen family's house for Chen Bozheng to bring people back.

Hearing footsteps, the two stopped talking, stood up to greet him, and saw Chen Bo walking in with a beaming smile.

Lin Qingfeng's eyes widened in shock. "Brother Zheng, what's wrong? Do you have a fever?"

Chen Bo was speechless and glared at him, "You're the one with a fever. It's the New Year, can't you watch what you say?"

Lin Qingfeng felt wronged: "Then I didn't say anything wrong. Look at how you're laughing, it's so scary."

He casually picked up a red-bottomed plastic mirror from the table and showed it to Chen Bozheng so he could see himself.

Chen Bo looked at himself in the mirror and his smile was indeed exceptionally bright; anyone who didn't know better would think that spring had arrived.

He tried to suppress his smile, but found that he couldn't hide it at all.

"Let's go to the construction site."

The plane arrived at the airport around 11 o'clock.

Zhao Dan arrived with her husband, Boss Ye. After Wen Chan and her group got off the plane, Zhao Dan walked up to them with a big smile, "Girls, you've finally arrived."

"Sister Zhao, Brother Ye, why did you come in person? We could have just taken a taxi to the hotel," Wen Chan said.

"Of course, it's so late. We wouldn't feel at ease if we didn't come to pick you up." Mr. Ye enthusiastically helped with the luggage; he had driven over himself.

Wen Chan noticed the logo on the front of the car and laughed, "A Crown? Brother Ye, have you struck it rich?"

"No way, I borrowed it from a friend in Shanghai. He's very kind and knew we didn't have a car here, so he lent it to me to get around," Mr. Ye said with a smile.

Liu Yan had known about this Mr. Ye for a while, but she had never met him before. Now, hearing what he said, her eyes immediately showed a mixture of admiration and envy when she looked at the couple.

To be able to borrow a car like this, you must have some extraordinary connections.

Wen Chan knew that the couple were worried about each other, which was why they came to pick them up at the airport.

As for what kind of car, it's probably just to show off his skills to her.

She was used to this kind of thing and didn't care at all.
