Chapter 152 See you again when we have a chance
After lunch break, everyone continued to work.
Apart from eating, Yu Jiang has been working hard. His current performance is far better than Huo Jingshu, but he still hasn't paid off his debts.
The work in the afternoon was the same as in the morning, and the three workers felt uncomfortable all over their bodies.
It was no longer the same as in the morning. Huo Jingshu knew that he could not risk his life with Yu Jiang and would never catch up with her progress again.
Yu Jiang still worked hard to maintain the progress made in the morning in order to turn today's work into positive income.
She never imagined that just fifty red bricks would turn into a mountain of debt that would overwhelm her.
After paying off his debts, Yu Jiang still has to work hard, at least he can't stay at the last place.
Dong Manshu, who was being chased, also felt pressured. He rolled up his sleeves and worked hard, trying not to be the last one.
The manual workers were working in full swing, and the two workers with some skills were also getting better.
Qi Lecheng, who gave up his lunch break, has now completely found his form and was not criticized by his master again in the afternoon.
Kong Lingxi, who had been slightly suppressing her skills, had now forgotten to maintain her own persona, and was doing better than the average veteran.
Today is the inspection day for the president of Lou Group, and he will take a tour of various industries and ongoing projects in Beijing.
This project in the Yulang business district is a must. Due to Zhuang Leyi's meddling, the plans are always subject to change. He has to personally check whether the second-generation rich have turned the buildings into dangerous buildings.
As soon as I entered the construction site, I saw a group of people gathered there from afar. It was obvious that they were not working on the project because they were recording audio and video.
The project manager next to him stepped forward to explain, "Mr. Lou, this is a collaboration between the "Life of a Hundred Flavors" production team and us. Our property will be promoted in the subsequent film."
Lou Jingtai frowned and asked, "How long will it take?"
"Just 24 hours, no more. It will definitely not affect the progress of our project!"
Seeing that the boss didn't say anything else, the project manager felt relieved.
Although he has the decision-making power, if the chairman disagrees and refuses to shoot at the last minute, he will have a hard time explaining to the director.
When people invited him for drinks, he boasted all the time. Now he was rejected. Not only did he lose face in front of his old classmates, but he was also afraid that his subordinates would not be convinced of his future decisions.
Avoiding the film crew and passing the crowd, Lou Jingtai turned around and saw an unexpected figure, "A Yu?"
It is rare to see Chairman Lou, who experienced dramatic family changes in his teens, get so excited and shout so loudly.
Even in a noisy environment like a construction site, his voice was still obvious, attracting the attention of the crew.
Yu Jiang, who was named, was the most surprised. She knew it was Lou Jingtai's voice, but she didn't expect him to be so idle.
When it comes to inspecting industries, except for those that are particularly important or where something is found to be wrong, the rest is usually left to special assistants.
Except for Yu Jiang who used it as an excuse to get some fresh air, basically no one in the circle went there in person.
Putting down the unicycle and looking up, Yu Jiang pointed at the camera with an awkward smile, then waved at him, indicating that he should not interfere with the filming.
As Lou Jingtai walked towards her, he said to the people around him, "Tell the director not to film the scenes where I appear. After the recording is finished, I will go and talk to him about additional investment."
Seeing that he was still coming over, Yu Jiang was very upset.
I thought that no matter how related this construction site was to the Lou family, I would not run into acquaintances there. Who would have thought that this would happen?
Lou Jingtai frowned as he looked at Jiang Yu, who was wearing work clothes, a yellow safety helmet, the sweat in his hair flowing down his neck into his collar, and was covered in brick dust.
Although she was covered in sweat, her fingers were exposed through the worn gloves, and her fingertips were red from the cold. How could their A Yu endure such suffering?
"Why did you accept this kind of variety show? Wasn't that dating variety show you filmed pretty good?" He said as he pulled out a silk scarf from his suit pocket and gently wiped the sweat from her cheeks.
Yu Jiang said with a fake smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Lou, you won't be too tired. Are you still busy? Let's not delay each other's work. See you again when there is a chance."
Lou Jingtai knew about his aunt and Zhuang Leyi's plan to feign illness. Even if it was an accidental encounter, it couldn't be in vain. He had to add fuel to the fire.
Although he knew what Yu Jiang meant, he deliberately misinterpreted it and said, "I am busy. Ah Xiao can't hold on any longer. There are many things that my uncle can't do. Now I have taken over a lot of things."
Yu Jiang squinted his eyes and looked at him, doubting the truthfulness of his words.
Yu Jiang was well aware of her brother's abilities. Even if he couldn't be a pioneer like her and her aunt, he was more than capable of being a king who maintained the status quo. There was no reason to let Lou Jingtai lend a hand.
"Really? You're already so busy, so don't waste your time here. See you later."
Lou Jingtai didn't expect that the other person would not respond at all. She felt guilty, but still looked like she didn't understand her.
"Okay, I'll be leaving now. I really hope you can see me later."
"Of course, there is always a chance." Yu Jiang said this, but he was a little hesitant in his heart.
As the oldest brother of their generation, Lou Jingtai is a steady person but has a fatal flaw: he cannot lie.
Whenever he tells a lie, his eyes will wander and he will rub his fingers unconsciously.
Yu Jiang had just observed carefully, and it seemed that he was not lying. However, he couldn't understand why Jiang Xiao was so overwhelmed with his ability.
Although he was thinking about it, Yu Jiang did not stop his work of moving bricks. He could not be the first, but he could not be the last either.
Before dinner, after work was finished, all five guests looked extremely tired.
When it came to salary settlement, the plasterer who needed the most technical skills was at the top of the list. Kong Lingxi's salary was settled on a daily basis, and the master gave her only positive comments, and she ultimately received a salary of 400 yuan.
The second place was Qi Lecheng. He worked all day and was considered an interior decorator. Any deductions in the morning were compensated at noon, and his final full salary was 320 yuan.
The third place was Huo Jingshu. He was exhausted chasing Yu Jiang in the morning, but it was not in vain. He was paid five cents for each brick, plus the meal allowance, and in the end he earned 280 yuan.
What comes next is the exciting competition between the last and the last. According to the program settings, there is no reward for the first place and there is a punishment for the last place.
Yu Jiang earned a total of 350 yuan today, but after deducting the 175 yuan required as compensation for the fifty bricks, he was left with exactly half.
Due to physical reasons, Dong Manshu earned a total of 150 yuan, ranking last with a small advantage.
Yu Jiang was still very satisfied with not being the last one. Although there were some mistakes today, overall it was still good.
Dong Manshu, who ranked last, did not fail to work hard. She tried her best, and even if the show was broadcast in the end, no audience would say anything against her.
After calculating the results, today is not over yet.
The construction site did not provide dinner, so Niu Jiachang took a group of people, including five guests who were about to fall apart, to have dinner in a grand manner.
Several guests were looking forward to it because the chef had just promised to treat them to a good dinner!
