Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Price of Bravery
Halfway through, a few people suddenly ran in front of him, masked, fleeing in a panic, holding several huge cloth bags in their hands. Occasionally, a few red hundred-dollar bills fell, accompanied by the screams of the office in the back.
"Grab the money, catch them." The foreman roared heartbreakingly, and the dark lights in several rooms lit up. Recently, the construction deadline was rushed, and the foreman also lived in the construction site, next to the office, in a separate room.
"Boy, get out of the way." The man at the head was half-covered, holding a knife in his hand and gesturing at the white crane.
Bai He thought to himself: "You really have nothing to do, I go my way, you run yours, I didn't stop you, you didn't stop me, you still have to make two gestures at me, is it to prove something?" You run, I don't have to chase it! ”
If you say this, it is indeed contrary to your noble character, Bai He coughed lightly, and said: "A few strong men, it is not right to rob money, it is better to come to work with us, the risk of you robbing money like this is too high, and it is easy to give your life to ......."
"Fuck you." The leader who heard Bai He's words, as if Sun Wukong heard Tang Seng's tight spell, went crazy, and stabbed Bai He with a knife.
"It's too slow." In Bai He's eyes, the robbers led by him were like a slow-motion replay of a movie, stretching out his right hand and grabbing it, twisting it clockwise 360 degrees.
Ah screamed, the gangster's arm was twisted like a twist, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, and his face showed an extremely painful and distorted expression, which made the two accomplices with the money behind him stunned.
"You shit, hurry up and give it to me." The gangsters led screamed in a weak voice, and the few people behind seemed to have just woken up from a dream, put down their money bags, took out knives and rushed over.
Bai He smiled slightly, kicked his right foot, kicked the bandit leader out of seven or eight meters, vomited blood to the ground, twitched a few times, and stopped moving.
When several robbers saw this situation, they immediately turned pale with fright, trembled all over, threw away their knives, put down their money bags, and knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy.
Bai He thought to himself, what is wrong with the current people, this IQ level is much worse than his own. You're running, two people are running separately, I can't catch anything.
After thinking about it, I knew that things were not so simple, these guys were very unprofessional, they walked to the side of the road, looked at it a few times, and thought they were going to come out to do chivalrous deeds.
Soon, the two people kneeling on the ground were surrounded by the workers who rushed to the ground, and the foreman came over, looked at the bandit leader lying on the ground, and then looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, the expression on his face was a little strange.
"Boss, shall we call the police?" One of the workers stood up and said, and several workers rushed up and beat the robber who was kneeling on the ground.
"Well, the money hasn't been lost, I think it's okay, it's still troublesome for the police to ask this and that, just let them get out." The foreman of the contractor was secretive, and his speech was a little slurred.
"Boss, that's not good." The workers on the side said in embarrassment, now is the time for the crowd to be angry, how can they be easily released, not to mention that this is a blatant robbery!
"Nonsense, let you put it, you can put it, what so much, get out." The foreman was furious, and the workers were so frightened that they ran over and shouted for their workers to let them go.
"Chief, you didn't see the white crane's skills, wow, when we arrived. Those guys are kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, begging for mercy before they hit, it's really cowardly, I've never seen such a cowardice and a learner came out to rob it. ”
"White cranes? Who is it? ”
"Boss, you forgot, it's our youngest child, the one who pestered you a few days ago and asked you to take him, great, thanks to him, this is our salary tomorrow." A worker is full of smiles, Bai He usually takes care of them, sometimes they work together, and they also leave food for them, in the hearts of these workers, Bai He is like a filial child, and everyone also takes special care of him.
This money is the money that will be paid to the workers immediately, and these so-called robbers are naturally a good show that the foreman has shown himself to direct, intending to embezzle this money, as long as the money is gone, they can justifiably drag the wages and not pay them.
Time was in a hurry, and the foreman found a few brothers who had mixed up together. What I didn't expect was that these brothers usually bully people outside, one is more horizontal than the other, and one is more cowardly when they do the right thing. The foreman was about to explode, and he couldn't wait to find someone to beat Bai He up and fire him again.
The next day off, the workers will take the wages they receive to the bank and deposit them. At noon, the workers enthusiastically invited the white crane back to the dormitory, bought beer, peanuts and fried chicken, and happily drank and chatted together.
Bai He is also embarrassed to eat and drink the things that the workers spend money to buy, but he is penniless, and he really can't pay for it together, and the construction site will settle a part of the salary on a quarterly basis, and those money are the wages delegated by the company, which is why the workers are so excited.
Speaking of which, Hakutsuru basically understood the foreman's intentions. After thinking about it, Bai He felt that it was indeed not easy for these workers to make money, so he called a few people who were more familiar with them and had more prestige among the workers, and told them what they thought, and warned them to beware of the foreman, otherwise they would probably get nothing in the end.
Several people discussed it, but the evidence was insufficient, and if the foreman was forcibly reported, not only would he not be able to sue him, but he would also be likely to be retaliated against by the foreman.
As the lowest level of labor, they have no money, no power, no status, no background, if they are not forced to a dead end, who will choose a thankless approach. Sometimes fate is so uncontrollable, everything can only be left to fate.
Hakutsuru knew that he had ruined the foreman's good deeds, and he couldn't stay here for long. Sometimes life is this kind of helplessness, if you want to survive and work, you have to swallow your anger. If you want to come out, if you want justice, you have to pay the price.
In the afternoon, Xiaomei, the treasurer, found Bai He and informed him to go to the finance department. The original salary was not Hakuzuru's, so it must have been the foreman who was going to have a showdown with himself.
"You won't have to go to work tomorrow." Sure enough, as soon as Hakutsuru entered the office, the foreman got straight to the point.
"Why?" Bai He knew what was going to happen, so his tone was extremely flat, and the reason why he asked was just to say it casually.
"You think that if you become a hero, I will reward you and give you a promotion, right?" The foreman smiled coldly, paused, and continued.
"That's right, I just want to reward you, this is a thousand red envelopes, thank you for your contribution to the workers, as for you, I dare not use it anymore. Now the top is strict, you can go, as for your salary, you can't pay it in less than two months, this is a regulation. How about you be able to work for two more months when you become an adult and get a lot of guaranteed wages? In the foreman's hand, he was playing with a mutton fat white jade handle, and said casually.
The white crane said no more, took the money from the table, turned around and left, without stopping. It's already a big surprise to get a thousand yuan. As soon as he walked out of the door, he heard a call from the foreman, and Bai He heard it clearly, even if it was more than ten meters away, as long as he wanted to hear it, it was not a problem.
The content is about the money that the foreman deducted from the wages and materials of the employees, bought the handle in his hand, and prepared to present it to a secretary in the city, for the purpose of a big project in the city center. Bai He's heart moved, it seemed that this object was worth a lot of money. Guarding the door, waiting for the foreman to walk out of the door with a briefcase, the white crane suddenly dodged behind him, the speed of his hand was extremely fast, unzipped, opened the box, took out the handle, closed it, put it back, and closed the zipper.
This series of actions took no more than two seconds, and the foreman only felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, looked at it strangely, shook his head and left, he was going to attend that dinner tonight, and give gifts to the other party.
Hiding in the corner, Bai He panted heavily, cold sweat broke out, once he was found by the foreman, did he knock him out? Or do you stun him? Fortunately, everything went well, and after looking around, he made sure that this place was the blind spot of the camera, and Bai He was willing to do it. He jumped from the second floor with a jump, and left here in a few dodges.
Take off your overalls, head back to your dorm, and pick up your luggage, the backpack you brought down from Nameless Island.
At this time, it was already evening, just after dinner, the workers were returning to the room to rest, and the workers saw Bai He picking up his luggage to leave, and they came forward to ask.
"I was fired." Bai He smiled and said, in fact, he didn't care about any work at all, and it was not uncommon to do those things like stealing chickens and dogs.
Of course, all this is also different from person to person, just like the white crane stole the foreman's handle, the evil person must be punished, this is the white crane's revenge for the foreman's harm to the workers, this kind of bad behavior, and it is not for himself.
"I'm going to intercede with the foreman, didn't you become a hero yesterday, such a good person can't go."
"It's just, we can't let you go." The crowd said everything, basically revealing their inner concerns, not wanting to let the white crane go, this is less than a month, very short, but the feelings of living together, but it seems that after a long time, they don't want to give up, the white crane used his simplicity and simplicity to impress everyone present.
Among the workers, Li Baoquan is more prestigious, and there are many acquaintances, and everyone regards Li Baoquan as the head of the workers. He understands the experience of the white crane, although many white cranes cannot tell the truth, but it is true that they have no father, no mother, no relatives, no reason, and no money.
When he knew that Baihe had only given him a symbolic 1,000 yuan this month, he encouraged his co-workers to donate money to see off Baihe who had traveled far away. Bai He couldn't resist Li Baoquan's tough attitude, and finally collected 1,000 yuan from each of the workers.
"Thanks to you, we can get our wages so smoothly, if you don't take it, you will look down on us!"
"This is my phone number, if you can't find your relatives in the north, you come back, I see that you are still young, and your uncle will definitely take care of you then." Li Baoquan held Bai He's hand and handed over the crumpled note with the phone number written on it, reluctant to give up. Suddenly thought of something, and said loudly to a group of workers who came to see him off: "I believe you also know that this little brother is not an ordinary person, let's not be reluctant, the little brother should go to live that extraordinary day, are you right?" ”
"Yes."
"Yes, don't forget to promote us when the little brother gets rich in the future."
"Oh, how do you know about money?" There is a frolic below, and there is no true love in the world, perhaps these true feelings are often hidden in the lowest and most simple people, who are not driven by interests, just simple people.
