Chapter 164. The candle has a heart and a pity to say goodbye. The embers have no intention of flying into the sky

Bao Wencai stared at Fan Ermao for a while and then said: "Ermao, let's say that you are young, you are not young, but you are a little tender in doing things." You know what's going on, don't you? How many people are you offending in order to maintain the benefit of one? At the smallest, three people, to the big mile, a large group of people were implicated because of you, and the unspoken rules that were perfect were broken by you. As a result, a large number of people were victimized, not to mention the loss of money, what will happen in the future? We don't even want to fish for this piece of oil and water, what are we going to do? You're blocking everyone's money. Saying that, he glared at Fan Ermao, and said: "I don't know what you think, but I know that you are clearly attacking Boss Zhou for the benefit of Manager Bao, in fact, your real intention is not for Manager Bao, just because Manager Bao took you in and treated you well, you will harm others for his interests, this is not your real situation." Although I can't understand your inner workings all at once, I do know that there must be something behind it. Bao Wencai took two sips of wine, his face was red, and he had more words in his mouth, and he didn't close the back door when he spoke, he went straight and showed no mercy at all.

"Ermao, drink." Bao Wencai picked up the wine glass again as he spoke, and drank it all in one gulp. Then I poured another cup, and after pouring it, I picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a peanut. If you want to speak again, Mr. Fan will only be left to drink and be obedient, keeping his head down and not speaking.

"Mr. Fan, do you know what gray income is? Do you know? ”

"I don't know." Fan Ermao shook his head and said.

"What is gray income, the money that Liu Xu and you collect is gray income, this is a kind of gray income, say that you are corrupt and bribery, it doesn't count; Because you did not go to the corruption of the package manager, nor did you go to the bribe of Zhou Papi, it can only be regarded as the same stream with Zhou Papi, the package manager originally contracted all the project to Zhou Papi, Zhou Papi contracted the project of the package manager at a price of 40 yuan per square meter, and the contract stipulated that Zhou Papi did not package materials, supervised quality and quantity, and only asked the construction period and did not ask about personnel. That is to say, as long as Zhou Papi completes the project with quality and quantity while ensuring the construction period, it will be considered that Zhou Papi has completed the task and completed the contract. As for how he arranges labor and how to choose the construction unit, this is his matter, and it has nothing to do with Bao Wude. The package manager only needs to supervise the quality and construction period. In the case that the package manager provides high-quality raw materials, Zhou Papi must complete the project on time with quality and quantity according to the regulations. So who will supervise the quality of Zhou's work? Bao Wencai smiled and said: "Naturally, you and I will come in handy, Manager Bao can't be on the construction site every day, right?" You and I are his eyes, we are his quality supervisors, so we have the power in our hands, although we are inconspicuous, but the inconspicuous rights in our hands hide huge benefits. Why? What should he do if he can't complete the task assigned to him by the contractor alone? There is only a subcontract, subcontracting out the contract that he has in hand, so there is a problem of extracting a commission for labor costs, because there is a cost for him to contract the project, and when he subcontracts, he cannot not charge a penny of commission and give you a white package, this contribution is a kind of gray income, this income is obtained by picking the skin of others, he occupies the interests of the next layer of workers, and picks up the skin of the next subcontractor. What should he do when the interests of the next layer of workers are extracted, and his profit margins are compressed? He had to peel off another layer of skin, exploit layer by layer, and the last person who was injured was the big contractor. Because when the profit margin is drained by these weekly pickpockets, the lowest worker will not get the labor fee he deserves, what should he do? Only in this way can he be psychologically balanced, because when the workers under oppression do not get their due benefits, cutting corners and compressing labor intensity is the inevitable result. Then you and I come in handy again, we are here to supervise the quality. The inevitable result of cutting corners and compressing labor intensity is the decline in quality, and the result of the decline in quality is naturally that the contractor cannot explain to the contractor, what should I do? So Zhou Papi can only find you and me to deceive Manager Bao, what should we do? Do you go along with him? The answer is that nine times out of ten, we will agree to cooperate with Zhou Papi and deceive our boss in the same stream. Why is that? Because the money we get is not the manager of the bag, we are picking the skin of the lower-level workers, and I am encroaching on the interests of the lower-level workers, and it has nothing to do with the manager of the bag, even if we don't have this money, the boss still has to pay his labor costs, and he can't get enough of the labor costs he should have. So who will oversee us? No one to supervise us, only our own conscience can supervise me, and only our own conscience can supervise our behavior, no one else can supervise us, because we are the eyes of the package manager, we see what the package manager also sees, we are his eyes, the eyes command the brain, the package manager also has to listen to our command, as long as we are not messed up, no one can supervise our behavior, we are either loyal ministers, or ministers; But a loyal minister eats grass like a cow, and a minister eats meat like a tiger. Therefore, since ancient times, there have been no pure ministers below the emperor, which is the truth. In ancient times, prime ministers were still corrupt and bribery, and He Shen is the best example. This is the so-called gray income, which is much the same, but not much different. Mr. Fan, Chinese look at the problem at two points and one line, do not like to talk about rules, two eyes look at the world will only choose simple, fast and efficient things to do, only look at the result, not look at the process, cynicism can compete for natural selection, the survival of the fittest. I'm not afraid of you being angry when I say it, looking at you from my point of view, you are not a loyal minister at all, or what I just said, you must have a secret in doing this today. I've said a lot of these things, so go back and savor them. With that, he drank the wine in his glass and shouted to the waiter, "Serve us food." ”

After lunch, Fan Ermao returned to the construction site with Bao Wencai, and did not dare to enter the office but went directly to the construction site of Building No. 9. He is very relieved here, no one dares to disturb him here, and he is afraid from the bottom of his heart that Zhou Papi will scold him again. This is no longer Zhou Papi's sphere of influence, and even the foreman of buildings 1 to 4 saw that Fan Ermao was also like a family member, enthusiastic, and warmly welcomed him to inspect the work.

Seeing them treating themselves so warmly, Fan Ermao was also comforted, and his heart calmed down a lot, and gradually forgot Zhou Papi's loud scolding in the morning and Bao Wencai's harsh words during lunch at noon.

In the evening, Fan Ermao didn't dare to drink, Bao Wude called him to go to Wangyue Tower, he was afraid of meeting Shan Liu Xu there, so he made up nonsense to lie to Bao Wude that he had something, so he rode home on a motorcycle.

When he arrived at the alley in front of his house, Fan Ermao found a small restaurant and had a simple meal, and then returned home.

Fan Ermao didn't sleep well this night, because he received two groups of people one after another. A group of people are two foremen of buildings 1 to 4, they re-signed the contract with the boss of Bao because of Fan Ermao, got rid of the jurisdiction of Zhou Papi, reduced the lifting layer of Zhou Papi, and they also became the foreman as high as Zhou Papi's shoulders, and they don't have to be subject to Zhou Papi in the future, and the settlement of the project payment does not have to worry about Zhou Papi's exploitation, so that not only is the management no longer subject to others, but also the economy has gained great benefits. They didn't want to go, and each sent 20,000 yuan in cash to show their gratitude. Fan Ermao didn't accept it, so he saw that the two foremen were blushing anxiously, glared at Fan Ermao fiercely and said: "If you don't accept this money, first, you don't look down on us from your heart, and second, you are afraid that we will tell you about it, don't worry Mr. Fan, as long as the two of us live for one day, this matter will rot in the stomach, otherwise his eight generations of ancestors will die." After the two swore an oath, they said: "Mr. Fan, if you don't accept this money from the two of us, or give our money to Boss Bao, then you are our enemy, since you don't treat us as friends and our own, we don't need to treat you as our own, and we will find you again tomorrow, don't be afraid that we will play with you, and you don't feel bad when you hurt you." With that, the two of them smashed the money on the table, got up and left.

Fan Ermao sent the two foremen away, and turned around to look at the two piles of money in a daze, when someone outside the gate shouted to open the door. Fan Ermao hurriedly hid the money and got up to open the door.

The door opened, and in the darkness, I saw two people standing outside the door, and Ermao saw that it was a man with apricot blossoms and a man with Chen Hong. Fan Ermao hurriedly let the two into the house.

After entering the house, Fan Ermao saw the two of them carrying vegetables, as well as cigarettes and alcohol. Ermao saw that he understood in his heart, and hurriedly prepared the dishes and chopsticks, and the servants drank wine, and after three rounds of wine, the servants were already as close as a family, calling the brothers and sisters to talk about their daily routines, and the apricot blossom man took out 20,000 yuan and put it in front of Fan Ermao, Ermao just wanted to postpone it, so he heard the apricot blossom man blushing, staring at him and saying: "Mr. Fan, take it." "This tone has a commanding taste." Mr. Fan, you have to take it. Mr. Fan, do you know that with the batch of projects you have won for us, we will no longer have to run around when the two of us are done. When this batch of projects is completed, the two of us will each buy a house like a playhouse, think about how much money we can get, what is it to give you these two dollars? If you don't accept it, you can't afford us, if you don't take the two of us this money, or give our money to the boss Bao, then you just don't treat us as friends, as fellow countrymen, we don't need to treat you as our own people, then you are our enemy, catch up with tomorrow and Zhou to find your business, don't be afraid of us playing with you, don't feel bad when you hurt you. With that, the second group of people walked away.

Sending away this second group of people, Mr. Fan was considered to have no temper, he sat at the small table and thought for half the night, thought about it, thought about it again, and finally decided to accept these two bribes, and decided to go along with them, otherwise it would be tantamount to forcing himself to a dead end, and there would be no room for survival in this land.

Mr. Fan didn't sleep this night, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, after a night of thinking, he finally figured out a truth, bribery also has a soil environment, in this environment, if he says that he does not accept these two money, it is equivalent to announcing that he has given up everything he has now, leaving the city, and leaving the country. It turns out that there are also forced to take bribes, what kind of world is this? Fan Ermao couldn't think of it, he just wanted to repay the apricot blossoms, but now it's good, he inadvertently got a big bargain, what does the 40,000 yuan mean? It means that Fan Ermao can buy such a property in the city as long as he wants. At that time, it was only tens of thousands of yuan to buy a house in a small county, even a house in Beijing at that time was not worth a few dollars, before the government did not run the city, the housing prices were about the same across the country, and the housing prices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and small counties were not much different.

After this incident, Fan Ermao left Bao Wencai and Shan Liu Xu far away, and as soon as he entered the construction site, he ran to the construction site of buildings 8 to 12, tied his motorcycle between the construction sites of buildings 8 to 12, walked between these buildings, chatted with them, ate and drank with several of their foremen at noon and evening, and this day was also comfortable, and it was the Qingming Festival of the lunar calendar, which was a day for Chinese to sacrifice the souls of the dead and send yin money.

This morning, Fan Ermao made a piece of knife-headed meat early, put it in the pot, and put it on the plate. Then he went out, went to the construction site, said goodbye to the foremen, and then found Bao Wencai to take leave and went out of the construction site.

Fan Ermao rode a motorcycle home first to get the knife head meat, then bought sacrifices on the street and went straight to the widow's house.

Now that Fan Ermao's shotgun has changed, it is no longer the Fan Ermao of the past, the brand-new motorcycle is speeding away, and it doesn't take an hour to work on the widow's village in front of you.

Fan Ermao crossed the small bridge into the dirt road and went straight to the widow's cemetery.

When he arrived at the tomb, Fan Ermao saw at a glance that the paper had been newly burned in front of the tomb, and the sacrifices used for sacrifice were still neatly placed there. Fan Ermao knew that the eunuch had come back at a glance, Fan Ermao smiled with satisfaction, looked at the widow's grave and said: "Auntie, your son came back to send you money, and I am here too, auntie, don't worry, I will put the sacrifice for you." After saying that, he bent down to place the offerings, and when everything was settled, Fan Ermao slowly knelt down and lit the candles, and the fire on the candles swayed in the wind, sometimes burning and resting, Fan Ermao couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he looked at it.

Before the paper money was burned, the sound of crying was already heard in front of the grave, so I heard Mr. Fan crying and singing:

The candle has a heart and a pity to say goodbye,

The embers have no intention of flying into the sky.

Graceful and graceful riding a white tiger,

The wings are missing from the other side.

Yingniang's early death soul travels to the west,

Fly in the veins of the sky.

Tianque Wei is suspicious and has no way,

Yun Wo Yi Tang cold sparse plug.

There is one more person in the Heavenly Immortal Realm,

Frosty night broken shoes.

When will I return to comfort my child's heart,

Heavy warmth and warmth to the glory of the sunflower.

After crying, he packed up the sacrifices, and went away with longing. (To be continued.) )
