Chapter 9 I'm tired of it
Since Mr. Lin made it clear that he would not let Lin Wanjing ask about the family again, Lin Wanjing simply obeyed her fate with respect, and spent another half a month leisurely, until Lin Wanxiao came to her with a paper contract, saying that the contract with the labor service company to which the port workers belonged had expired, and the renewed contract could not be signed for a long time, and she shouted for a commission. Lin Wanjing knew in her heart that Boss Wu of the labor service company had an ironclad relationship with Luo Yan, and she must have offended Luo Yan when she asked for the account, so Boss Wu deliberately made it difficult. Lin Wanjing felt funny in her heart, these guys really treated themselves as dishes, as if they thought that no one in the Lin family would be able to live without them.
Suppressing this breath, Lin Wanjing went to the port with the contract to find Boss Wu for a showdown, Li Chengtai was worried that the situation would change, and quietly called Aaron to the port to respond.
Driving through the downtown area, I saw a familiar black sedan parked in front of Yanjiang Building from a distance, and Li Chengtai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, recognized it as Liu Jin's car at a glance, so he carefully glanced at Lin Wanjing's expression from the rearview mirror, and saw that she was engrossed in the contract in her hand, obviously she hadn't seen Liu Jin and Ye Qiuluo pulling the figures, and hurriedly lowered her voice and said to Ah Biao:
"A different way."
Ah Biao comprehended, and the steering wheel turned into the alley next to him.
The guards at the port have been replaced, all of them are faces that Lin Wanjing doesn't know, and there is an inexplicable tension in the oppressive atmosphere. Xing Lin Wanjing didn't recognize it, but Li Chengtai recognized the outfit of the city defense army at a glance, and at the same time he felt inexplicable, his nerves were also vigilant - the city defense army was the trump card under Ye Jiangxiong's command, although he was responsible for the security of Luzhou City, it had a lot to do with this port.
Looking at the city defense army passing by the car, Li Chengtai suddenly remembered Liu Jin's half-pushed expression when he saw Liu Jin just now, according to his understanding of Liu Jin, if he was willing to go to Ye Qiuluo's appointment, he would never show such a look.
The car stopped not far from the labor service company of the Wu family, Lin Wanjing got out of the car, but there was no longer the shadow of Li Chengtai, Ah Biao said with a relaxed expression that Li Chengtai went to the toilet, but Lin Wanjing didn't feel inappropriate, and took the contract to the labor company.
The weather was nice and the sea breeze was pleasant. More than a dozen generous tables were lined up in the place where the workers were waiting, and the loosely dressed workers sat on the benches, smoking and snorting melon seeds with their feet crossed, watching Lin Wanjing coming, and just squinting at her as she went to the hall of the labor company.
Boss Wu obviously knew that Lin Wanjing was coming, and when he saw her enter the door, he glanced at her with a cigarette in his mouth, and said hello, but he didn't stop playing cards with several foremen in his hand. Lin Wanjing doesn't mind, so she has a polite process left, and she can go straight to the point:
"Boss Wu, I don't have anything else to do, you see that if it's convenient today, I'll sign the appointment for the next season."
Boss Wu unhurriedly knocked dust on the ashtray, and asked leisurely: "Do you agree to add 20% of the bonus?" ”
"As far as I know, we have been cooperating for more than ten years, and it has always been divided into three or seven, why does Boss Wu think about adding it this year?"
"Miss, don't you know that firewood and rice are expensive, everything is rising these years, but the salary is not rising, do I want my family to live?" Boss Wu didn't answer, but the foreman sitting at the card table grabbed the words.
Lin Wanjing didn't care about the foreman, and looked at Boss Wu's smile fading: "This matter is set by the Chamber of Commerce, but I'm afraid that if our family mentions it, it will break the rules of the Chamber of Commerce and mess up the market." ”
Boss Wu smiled coldly, crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and threw out a card: "Don't use the Chamber of Commerce to press me, my brothers don't care about the Chamber of Commerce so much, it's not me who asks you to explain the law now." ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted echoes, Lin Wanjing saw that today's game of cards was only waiting for her, she made up her mind and looked at the foremen with a smile:
"You should talk to your boss about wages, it's not appropriate to talk to me, right?"
The foreman didn't appreciate Lin Wanjing's affection, and the card in his hand fell, and he stood up: "What's inappropriate?" If you don't add a commission, my boss won't give me processing money! Do you think it's appropriate for me to talk to you?! ”
Instigated by his words, several other people at the card table also stood up, and Boss Wu sat behind this human wall, smiling and lighting another cigarette for himself.
"Boss Wu, it seems that there is no way to talk about cooperation today, so I will leave first and come back to visit another day."
Seeing that Lin Wanjing was leaving, Boss Wu finally spoke:
"Miss, don't be in a hurry to leave, in fact, in the end, this matter is just a matter of nodding your head. With so many people here today, you signed it happily, so why bother you to go more? ”
With these words, the foreman who spoke first took a few pieces of paper and walked towards Lin Wanjing, and fell on the coffee table in front of her with a "snap":
"Today, you have to sign it, and you have to sign it if you don't sign it!"
Lin Wanjing calmly picked up the contract, glanced at it a few times, and then looked at Boss Wu: "It seems that Boss Wu is waiting for me here." Do you want an answer? That's my reply. ”
The contract was torn in half in Lin Wanjing's hand and fell back on the coffee table, everyone present obviously didn't expect Lin Wanjing to respond to this, and watched her lead Ah Biao away dumbfounded.
Before he got out of the labor company, Boss Wu had already led someone to chase him out, like a signal, the workers waiting for work all stood up one after another, and among the five big and three thick men, Lin Wanjing and Ah Biao seemed to be extremely weak.
Boss Wu stood behind a group of people, smoking a cigarette with a gloomy expression: "Miss, if you don't sign the contract today, Wu is afraid that he will not be able to explain to the brothers." ”
As he said, now Lin Wanjing and Ah Biao are surrounded in the middle of the crowd, and if they want to leave, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
Lin Wanjing had to turn around and face Boss Wu: "You don't stir up trouble in front of the workers." Our family gives you a few percent of the profits, and you give the workers a few percent of the profits, do you want me to settle and settle for you here? ”
"The eldest lady is sharp-toothed, Wu can't say anything about you. But now that you are out of my door, what will the brothers do, I Wu will not be able to keep it. Boss Wu raised his hand and waved, and the people around Lin Wanjing came forward, but they also seemed to have some scruples, observing each other and hesitating.
Finally someone stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Lin Wanjing, Ah Biao quickly protected Lin Wanjing behind him, and opened the hand hard, since someone started, the workers no longer cared about anything, and swarmed around the two, Ah Biao alone where he resisted a group of workers, and saw Lin Wanjing being caught by the foreman who rushed over by Boss Wu.
said that it was too late, Aaron rushed into the crowd out of nowhere, picked up the liquor bottle on the table and smashed it in half, pounced on the foreman who grabbed Lin Wanjing and pressed him on the square table, the foreman howled, and just wanted to fight back, but saw that the glass stubble shining with cold light had already paid off his neck:
"Try my young lady again."
His voice was low, and the more he did, the more intimidating it became. The shattered shards of the glass bottle scratched his hand, and warm blood oozed from the wound and dripped down the bottle onto the foreman's neck.
The crowd was stunned by Aaron's aura, and they were silent for a while, hesitating and not daring to step forward. Boss Wu obviously didn't expect to kill a trip halfway, but he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and quickly recognized the situation, and after a short period of shock, the corners of his mouth hooked a treacherous smile:
"Whoever dares to move me in my territory, boy, I'm tired of it."
As soon as the words fell, three gunshots were heard, and Boss Wu's raised hand didn't have time to wave down, Liu Jin had already led the soldiers to come in line, and in an instant, he surrounded the chaotic crowd. The troublesome workers hurriedly dispersed, exposing Lin Wanjing's master and servant to Liu Jin's eyes.
During the dispute, Lin Wanjing's clothes were torn, her hair was scattered, and her depressed appearance made Liu Jin feel distressed, and Lin Wanjing knew that he was coming, but she turned her back and didn't look at him, this reflection made his heart tighter. His sharp gaze shot straight at the initiator under the porch like a steel knife, and the corners of his cold mouth opened slightly, so Boss Wu heard the most terrifying sentence he had heard in his life:
"People who dare to move me in my territory, are you tired of living?"
The troublemakers were "invited" to the headquarters by the people brought by Liu Jin, and Ah Biao and Ah Long hung up the lottery and sat on the side to be treated by the doctor. Lin Wanjing followed Liu Jin to stand by the railing of the plank road, the gentle sea breeze ruffled her hair, she simply draped her long hair down, and the air around her was immediately diffused with a faint fragrance, Liu Jin suddenly realized something, snuffed out the cigarette between her fingers, withdrew her gaze from the horizon, sighed long, and said:
"Have you ever wondered what would have happened to you if I hadn't come today?" Seeing Lin Wanjing shaking his head, he sighed again: "In this situation, how do you plan to end it?" ”
"It's all been discussed, and I will never ask them to cooperate in a low voice." Lin Wanjing replied, with a faint anger in her tone, "I have discussed it with Ling Rui, if the talks collapse today, his port company will take over the labor services of Li Wanxing in the port first, and it will be like this in the next season, and then if he can't spare manpower...... Lin Wanjing paused, "Let's talk about it later." ”
After hearing this, Liu Jin's heart sank, but he still suppressed his temper and continued to ask: "I should have told you, you can tell me if you need anything, and I will help you." ”
Yes, he said so, not to mention the port, it is the entire Luzhou, what can he Liu Jin not do? Not to mention a mere contract, Lin Wanjing wants the entire port to serve her alone, it's just a matter of his words. And this is exactly what Lin Wanjing doesn't want to see the most.
"This thing...... You can't help me......"
Her low voice was like a hammer, and every syllable slammed into his heart.
"I can't help you......" Liu Jin repeated these five words in a questioning tone, sneered, glared at Lin Wanjing and almost shouted: "I can't help you, he Li Lingrui can help you?!" ”
"I didn't mean that......" Lin Wanjing wanted to continue explaining, but saw that Li Chengtai was coming to her, so she closed her mouth.
"Young marshal, everyone has been taken away, ...... next"
"Send the young lady home." Liu Jin said coldly.
"No, I still have something to do." Lin Wanjing hurriedly refused.
The scene was a little embarrassing for a while, but Liu Jin snorted coldly: "What? Are you still going to find Li Lingrui? ”
"I have to tell him about today's situation, and the next arrangements, I can't ......" Lin Wanjing was interrupted by Liu Jinsheng before she finished speaking:
"Lin Wanjing, you are already married to me, do you have to get so close to other men and challenge the bottom line of my patience?"
Don't talk about this topic, at this moment Liu Jin mentioned it, Lin Wanjing only felt that her heart was infarcted with a stone, the brilliance in her eyes dimmed, and some tears faintly floated, Liu Jin saw that her eyes were red, and her lower lip was bitten white, and suddenly realized what a stupid question he had just asked with jealousy, he hurriedly reached out to hug her, and just touched her, but his arm was pushed away by her:
"Who are you to ask me this question? Liu Jin, you are already planning to marry her, what qualifications do you have to ask me this question?! ”
Before he could reply, she had turned away, his hand still fixed on the spot he had just held, but all he had retrieved was a wisp of incense. Her expression seemed to reappear in his mind, like a sharp knife, slashing at his heart and hurting, but he didn't have the strength to refute at all, and he couldn't even say a word of explanation.
The leading troublemaker was temporarily pressed into the prison of the naval headquarters, and when Ye Qiuluo walked into the dungeon, Boss Wu was already lying on the straw mat of the cell with a bruised face, and when he saw her coming, he moved to the door with a strong spirit, and stretched out his hand to remove the corner of her skirt:
"Second Miss, save ...... Help me......"
Ye Qiuluo glanced at him with great disgust, and then looked around at no one, then lowered his voice and said: "I specially lured Brother Yun Rou away, and also asked my father to borrow troops to replace the defense of the port, so you can't help you, what's the use of me keeping you?!" ”
The glimmer of hope that had just climbed up in Boss Wu's eyes gradually faded, his hand also fell, and after a moment of silence, he sneered: "Second Miss, aren't you afraid that Wu will tell you all the things you explained?" ”
A moment of uneasiness flashed in Ye Qiuluo's eyes, but the uneasiness was only a flash, and soon the coldness was replaced by indifference:
"Just you?" She squatted down, looking at him with a smile hooked at the corner of her mouth: "Do you think Brother Yun Rou will believe you or me?" ”
Boss Wu was dumbfounded, and in this dumbness, Ye Qiuluo had already gotten up and walked leisurely to the outside of the prison.
The office hall of Hengguang Far East Group is still full of people and lively. Li Lingrui's desk is still stacked with large stacks of documents, but today, there is less conditioning and more messiness. Lin Wanjing simply said the matter, but saw that he seemed to have something on his mind absent-mindedly, so she said with concern:
"What? Is it causing you trouble? ”
Li Lingrui came to his senses, was stunned, shook his head and smiled: "How can it be troublesome, but it's just a gesture." Don't worry, your family's little affair at the port is on me. ”
Lin Wanjing looked at him for a moment, then walked to the chair on the side of his desk and sat down, stared at him and said, "What's wrong with you?" Don't lie to me and say it's fine. ”
"It's fine."
"Come on, I don't know you yet?" Lin Wanjing looked at him and said, "If you don't say what happened today, I won't leave." ”
Li Lingrui knew that he had the ability to hide from the world, and he couldn't deceive the girl in front of him after all, so he had to sigh and hand the newspaper pressed under a few official letters to Lin Wanjing, and the conspicuous position was the follow-up report on the flood that washed out the railway bridge - in fact, this was a few days ago, and I heard that there were no casualties, so Lin Wanjing didn't pay much attention. Now Li Lingrui is worried about this matter, Lin Wanjing has a bad intuition, looks up at Li Lingrui and waits for him to speak.
"A few days ago, Yiguang and her parents went north to visit relatives in their hometown, and it was planned that the train would come back on these two days." Li Lingrui took a deep breath: "When I saw the news, I asked people to contact her relatives in her hometown, but they said that Yiguang had already returned on his way home, and I had been trying to find a way to inquire about their news for a few days, but ...... There was no news. ”
Seeing him cover his face with his palms, Lin Wanjing sighed in her heart, and carefully comforted him: "The newspaper said that there were no casualties, they must have settled down somewhere temporarily, and they should also be trying to find a way to contact you, don't be too nervous......"
"That's how I comforted myself, but after so many days, there should be news no matter what."
Lin Wanjing thought for a moment and said, "I'll help you find them." ”
There was some excitement in her tone!
Li Lingrui frowned and looked at her, for a long time, and chuckled: "Don't make trouble." If you want to go because of this, he Liu Jin can't kill me? ”
"I won't tell him. Anyway, our family doesn't have enough manpower, so I just said that I was helping my family go to Ganzhou to pick up the goods~"
Li Lingrui breathed lightly and lowered his voice: "Okay." This is the end of the matter. ”
He said this in English, and his tone was very serious, like their duke's adoptive father.
Maybe a conditioned reflex has been formed, Lin Wanjing didn't fight for anything anymore when she heard this, and sat down in the chair without saying anything.
