Chapter 72 Personal bodyguard
From childhood to adulthood, the person Lu Shanmin hated the most was the old god stick, and when he came to the East China Sea, I don't know when he started, and his hatred for the old god stick became less and less. I used to think that the worst and most shameless person in the world was the old god stick, but now that I think about it, the old god stick is much cuter than people like Liu Tao.
Thousands of miles away in Mazui Village, Daoyi, who was sitting on the threshold and picking his feet, sneezed. I wiped my nose with my foot-picking hand and smiled.
"It must be Lu Shanmin's stinky boy who is thinking about poverty."
Liu Ni, who was wearing an apron to wash clothes, glanced at Daoyi disdainfully, "It's almost the same to scold you."
Dao Yi licked his fingers and smashed his mouth, "You don't understand this, people outside the mountain are better than tigers, and when Lu Shanmin sees the world outside the mountain clearly, he may think how cute I am."
Liu Ni glanced at Dao's black fingers and snorted, "Disgusting."
Dao Yi smiled, "The hills and ravines in the chest of the poor Dao contain all living beings, and in the eyes of the poor Dao, the snot and feet are equal to the flowers and nectar, this is great wisdom, you don't understand."
Liu Ni walked up the steps with her laundry and said, "I mean, it's disgusting to say the word 'cute'."
Dao Yi hehe laughed, this old Taoist priest who boasted of traveling through thousands of worlds had never won a fight with Liu Ni.
While drying clothes, Liu Ni continued: "The equality of all beings is the monk's saying, you are a Taoist priest who knows a fart."
Dao Yi blew his beard, "You don't understand this, all the laws in the world are the same, the Buddha and the Tao are not separated, and the poor and the ten thousand laws are one, and they have long been beyond the shackles of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and those who believe in me in the world will definitely be able to transcend the past life."
Liu Ni kicked on the leg of the road, "Get up, return all laws to one, if the world believes in your nonsense, all of them will learn from you to put your hands in your mouth, and you will have to go to eighteen layers of hell."
Dao Yi hissed, rubbed his legs, and during this time, he even coaxed and tricked Xiao Nizi into learning his inner boxing method, but he didn't expect the progress to be so fast, and the strength of this kick was more than double that of before.
"You little girl, how did your grandfather teach you since you were a child, you are so vicious, you don't know how to respect the old and love the young."
Liu Ni dried her clothes and walked to the house with the laundry tub.
"You should be glad I didn't learn from you, or your leg would have been broken."
Winter in the mountains is earlier than the winter outside the mountains, although it has not yet entered winter, Lu Xun has already felt chills all over his body, and he has been even more drowsy in the past two days. After drinking the traditional Chinese medicine handed over by Lao Huang, his body gradually warmed up.
"Old Lu, your body bones are getting weaker and weaker, don't get up so early to write those broken words in the future."
Lu Xun smiled, "Drink medicine to cure the body, practice words to cure the heart, don't you often say that if you have a good attitude, you can only get better when you are sick."
Lao Huang looked at Lu Xun lightly, "Have you cured your heart after practicing for decades? Since the mountain people left, you have been practicing calligraphy for longer and longer, and I think this heart is becoming more and more chaotic."
Lu Xun smiled, "I think when I first met you, you were just a person who only knew how to speak with your fists, and now you have become as careful as a hair."
Lao Huang shook his head, "I haven't changed, I've just been with you all my life, I just know you better, and I still think that there is no need to use my mouth to tell the truth with my fist."
Lu Xun nodded, "For a long time, Daoyi and I have always thought that you are a martial artist, and this time maybe it is really me and Daoyi who are wrong."
"You're right, you just know you can't do it."
"Lao Huang, if I leave one day, can you help me take care of the mountain people"?
Lao Huang's heart was filled with a sourness, "If you don't leave, I will naturally look at him."
Lu Xun smiled, "It's still this stinky temper."
Lu Shanmin did not leave the construction site, stood in place and thought for a long time, and walked towards the project department with his feet raised.
In the project manager's office, the project manager was convening a meeting of a group of construction workers, and when he saw Lu Shanmin walking in, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Why are you here again"?
"We couldn't find Liu Tao, and his phone couldn't get through."
"That's none of our business, our company only has a contractual relationship with Liu Tao, hurry up, we still have a meeting."
Lu Shanmin glanced at everyone in the office, turned around and walked out.
As the general person in charge of the construction company sent to this project, Zhao Kai has not slept a peaceful sleep since the project started. The owner is a large company in Donghai Neng, the company is very concerned about this project, if it can do a good job in this project to form a good fate, it will play a pivotal role in the future development of the company. The owner's requirements for the construction period and quality are very high, and even the chairman of the other party has personally come to urge once, the whole project is so complicated, Zhao Kai is busy almost every day, like Lu Shanmin, a small handyman, he really has no energy to take care of it.
The civil works of this project are almost complete, and the next step will be to start the decoration, water and electricity and HVAC works. As the general person in charge of this project, Zhao Kai convened all the members of all units on the site to prepare for the work. The meeting lasted until noon.
When I walked out of the office, I saw Lu Shanmin standing at the door in a daze.
"Why haven't you left yet"?
"We didn't get the money."
Zhao Kai was speechless, and there was a sense of powerlessness when Xiucai met a soldier, "I have already told you that our company never owes money to migrant workers, and everything that should be given has been given, and it is useless for you to look for me." After speaking, he walked in the direction of the construction site canteen.
Lu Shanmin didn't speak, just followed Zhao Kai silently.
The project department has a special canteen for the staff of the contractor to eat. Lu Shanmin followed Zhao Kai to the cafeteria, where the food was much more sumptuous than the boxed lunch on the trolley outside. Zhao Kai was busy all morning, his stomach was already grumbling with hunger, he ignored Lu Shanmin, and ate with a few construction workers at the table.
Lu Shanmin didn't say anything, just stood quietly behind him, like a personal bodyguard.
The people eating at the table are all people who have been working on the construction site for a long time, maybe they have seen a lot of such things, and they are not strange, they only care about eating and chatting, and no one even looks at Lu Shanmin.
Although the food in the canteen is not as good as that of the restaurant, it is also three meats, three vegetables and one soup, which is much better than what Lu Shanmin usually eats.
Zhao Kai glanced back at Lu Shanmin, this young man looked like he was only about twenty years old, at this age, many people were still in college, and he felt a little unbearable, frowning and saying, "Sit down and eat."
Lu Shanmin glanced at the table full of good dishes, swallowed his saliva, and shook his head, "I'm not hungry."
Zhao Kai shook his head helplessly and continued to eat his own food. After eating, Zhao Kai had to go to every corner of the construction site to check to ensure that the decoration was prepared. There is another meeting in the afternoon.
Lu Shanmin still didn't say a word, he followed him closely like a personal bodyguard, Zhao Kai persuaded him several times during the period to no avail, seeing that Lu Shanmin just followed silently, it didn't affect his work, and he didn't bother to care about him.
Throughout the afternoon, Lu Shanmin followed Zhao Kai wherever he went, and even when he went to the toilet, Lu Shanmin would stand at the door of the toilet and guard.
Autumn has been around for a while, and it's getting darker than ever. The lights of the city in the distance have been lit up, and it is time for Zhao Kai to get off work.
Zhao Kai walked out of the office and looked at Lu Shanmin speechlessly, "I've told you many times, it's really useless for you to follow me."
Lu Shanmin said lightly: "I know."
Zhao Kai asked puzzledly: "Then why are you still following me?"
"I'm just a mountain villager, I don't know anything, I've never encountered such a thing before, and I don't know what to do, but I think you should be different, you are a manager, a big leader, you must be a very capable person, you must have encountered such a thing before, I think you must have a way."
Zhao Kai looked at Lu Shanmin with some surprise, he didn't expect this stunned young migrant worker to have such a mind.
Lu Shanmin followed for a day, Zhao Kai was also a little unbearable, nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll show you the way, this situation belongs to the contract dispute between you and Liu Tao, you can find a lawyer to sue him in the court, if he really runs away with the money, the only way to arrest him is to call the police."
Lu Shanmin lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his head and asked, "Can the police catch him within two months?"
Zhao Kai said helplessly: "How do I know, you should ask the police about this question."
Lu Shanmin asked again, "What if the police can't catch him for a year or two?"
Zhao Kai really couldn't cry or laugh, "I really can't answer you about this."
Lu Shanmin sighed and didn't speak.
Zhao Kai looked at Lu Shanmin with some concern, "You don't plan to follow me at night, right?"
Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I still have to go to work at night."
Zhao Kai breathed a long sigh of relief, it would really be a troublesome thing if Lu Shanmin had been following him.
However, he didn't take it easy for long, and he heard Lu Shanmin say: "I'll come to you tomorrow morning."
Zhao Kai's eyebrows and eyes wrinkled together, shook his head, and sighed, "Whoever you want."
Midnight barbecue restaurant, Lu Shanmin grilled listlessly, eight workers, five masters, three small workers, except for himself who only worked for two months, the rest followed Chen Dali for seven or eight months, an average person counted 10,000 yuan per month, that is, four or five hundred thousand. Even if Chen Dali's daughter-in-law is cleaned up and the house in his hometown is sold, he may not be able to make up for it. Lu Shanmin is a person who owes money, and he knows the taste of debt very well, Chen Dali is an honest person, and he doesn't know what kind of mood he will be in at this time.
"Lu Shanmin", a familiar and long-lost voice interrupted Lu Shanmin's thoughts.
Since that night's long talk, Hai Donglai has not been here for nearly half a month, I thought that a rich man like him was just a hurried passer-by for a place like Minsheng West Road, and a girl with a disparity in family background like Ruan Yu would eventually make him give up completely, and he didn't expect him to come back at all.
"Quickly grill me a few skewers of barbecue, I haven't eaten it for a long time, and my heart is itching."
