Chapter 204: Go to Liujia Village...
After filling their stomachs, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan took a basket of things and went to the sugar factory to check on the progress of the construction.
A day later, the "great achievements" of the Li mother and daughter had already spread in Liujia Village, so when the craftsmen saw the young employers, they couldn't help but cast inquiring glances at them.
Xia Mo and Ling Chuan were not unaware of this, but what did it matter? It was not them who had their reputations ruined.
Seeing that the two men were communicating with the foreman as if nothing had happened, the craftsmen were too embarrassed to mention the matter and continued to work hard.
Xia Mo looked around and smiled knowingly at the buildings that were almost in line with his requirements. He had to say that these craftsmen worked very attentively.
"Mr. Pang, you've done a great job. Thank you for your hard work. Let's share these candies with everyone to try." Xia Mo said sincerely.
After saying that, Ling Chuan handed the bamboo basket in his hand to the foreman with dark skin and muscular body.
"Candy? No, no, my boss pays you and provides you with three meals a day. You should keep these and sell them." Mr. Pang declined.
Compared with the jobs he had taken before, this treatment given by the young employer was undoubtedly the best, and he was not like those people who acted arrogantly just because the price was a little better.
Xia Mo smiled and said, "It's not much, just take it. If the adults don't want to eat it, you can take it back to comfort the children. The children should like it."
Pang Gong hesitated, then took the basket with a smile, "In that case, I would like to thank you two on behalf of everyone else."
"You're welcome. You go ahead and do your work. Brother Chuan and I will take a look around here. If you have any questions, you can tell us directly."
"Okay." Engineer Pang grinned, and without disturbing the young couple, he walked away to work tactfully.
Seeing that he did not distribute the candy immediately, but put the basket aside and continued his original work, Xia Mo could not help but look up and smile at the man next to him.
People like to deal with down-to-earth and smart people. Engineer Pang is a capable person, and the team of craftsmen he leads does not dare to cheat, so the progress is much faster than Xia Mo expected.
When Xia Mo and Ling Chuan were inspecting the construction site, Liu Qiuwu and Li Jingran, who were in disguise, took a carriage straight to the Ling family, but unfortunately they were turned away.
However, the sudden appearance of such a gorgeous carriage entering the village was still very eye-catching, and some curious people inevitably followed it from a distance. Of course, most of them were carefree children.
Li Jingran and Liu Qiuwu knocked on the door several times but no one answered, so they guessed that they were not at home.
"Should we wait here or go find them directly?" Li Jingran turned and asked Liu Qiuwu.
Today, Liu Qiuwu had a fake beard glued on, wore a gray-white crown hat, dressed in a light-colored robe, and held a jade fan in his hand. He looked like a well-educated official.
He looked at the people in the distance and said, "Ask them."
"Okay." Li Jingran responded, and walked towards the adults and children, with Liu Qiuwu following closely behind him.
Suddenly seeing Li Jingran and his group approaching, the curious adults and children subconsciously took two steps back, and some children even ran away.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. We are good friends of Lingchuan and Ze Ge'er. We came here today to visit them, but no one responded in this yard. Do you know where they are?" Li Jingran said politely, which calmed the uncle and aunt who were a little timid at first.
"Are you really good friends of the young man from the Ling family and Brother Ze?" A middle-aged man looked at the two noblemen in front of him and said uncertainly. He wondered in his heart, when did the man from the Ling family get to know such a stylish friend?
Li Jingran: "It's true. If they are not friends, how would we know their names? And their addresses?"
"That's right, so husband, do you know where they are?" Liu Qiuwu also looked at the middle-aged husband and asked urgently.
The middle-aged man didn't think they were bad people, so he nodded and said, "I know. Ling and Ze seem to be heading towards the newly built house. Just go in that direction along the path. You can see a lot of craftsmen working there."
Liu Qiuwu's eyes flickered and he smiled: "Thank you for telling me, we will go find them now."
Seeing the other party so polite, the middle-aged husband also smiled and waved his hand casually, "No, you're welcome."
After knowing where the person was, Li Jingran and Liu Qiuwu didn't say anything more. After thanking him, they went straight to where Xia Mo was, leaving the middle-aged man and the others chatting there.
"Aunt Nine, who do you think the young couple from the Ling family know? Look at that carriage, it's so expensive. You can tell at a glance that they are from a wealthy family."
"That's right, I wonder if these two handsome little brothers are married? If not, I think my Guilan is pretty good, why don't I ask Ze'er tomorrow..."
There is no doubt that she was laughed at before she finished speaking, but there was no malice in her. "Come on, your Guilan is a good girl, hardworking, but she looks like she is not something that ordinary people like us can aspire to be."
"Oh, you're really something. I was just saying that." The woman who was being talked about was not angry. She just smiled and glared at the person who was trying to ruin her show. Then she looked at the two long and narrow backs that had turned into small black dots, and thought to herself that they walked so fast.
Li Jingran and Liu Qiuwu indeed walked fast. They followed the middle-aged husband's instructions and soon found the sugar factory under construction.
"Qiu Wu, have you seen them?" Li Jingran looked inside for a long time but did not see Ling Chuan and Xia Mo.
Liu Qiuwu frowned, "No." Did he leave?
"Let's find someone to ask." Li Jingran said as he wanted to go in and ask someone, but before he took a few steps, Engineer Pang came out first.
For the craftsmen, the sudden appearance of two handsome and distinguished men in such a remote suburb was surprising.
So when Pang Gong heard the discussion of the people around him, he raised his head and looked outside, and saw Li Liu and the other man peeking around as if they were looking for someone.
"Are you two gentlemen looking for someone?" asked Mr. Pang.
Li Jingran nodded, "We are looking for Lingchuan and Zege'er. Has this brother ever seen them?"
Oh, you really are looking for an employer.
Engineer Pang was not as surprised as the other craftsmen. Instead, he felt that it was as it should be. After all, he had been traveling around for so many years and had seen a lot of the world.
Since the boss built a sugar factory, the two people in front of him, who looked either rich or noble, were most likely his boss' business partners.
Thinking this way, Pang Gong did not dare to neglect it, fearing that he would ruin the good deeds of his conscientious boss, so he replied repeatedly: "Yes, the boss has horses on the flat ground behind. Can I take you two there?"
Liu Qiuwu was delighted and took a step forward: "Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way."
"Don't bother, don't bother. It's very close." Engineer Pang scratched his head and gave him a foolish smile.
