Cheng Xi originally wanted to chat with Wang Ying to inquire from the side to see what the dock contractor was doing, after all, the news inadvertently revealed was more true.

However, after chatting, Cheng Xi knew that her goal could only be frustrated, this Wang Ying has always stayed in the county to live, and her understanding of her man's work, like her father, only knows that she is a contractor at the Fucheng wharf.

Cheng Xi put away his disappointed expression, tried to maintain his original smile, and chatted with Wang Ying without a word, although he couldn't inquire about the foreman Zhao Ke, but he could also inquire about the situation in this county, after all, Wang Ying has always lived in this county, and he knows a lot about this county, and he will settle down in the county in the future, and it is always beneficial to know more.

After a while, Mother Wu brought Zhao Ke, the protagonist of this courtyard, over, and Cheng Xi took the opportunity to take a look, but found that this person completely subverted the image conceived in his mind.

Cheng Xi originally thought that the contractor on the dock must be a man with five big and three rough, but this Zhao Ke is actually the appearance of a weak scholar, with a fair and handsome appearance, with a gentle smile on his face, such a person always makes people feel close, such a very confusing appearance, which makes Cheng Xi even more careless.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Ke first saluted Old Man Wang, "I've seen my father-in-law." ”

Old man Wang beckoned Zhao Ke to sit down with a smile on his face, and from the expression on his face, he could see how satisfied this old man Wang was with his son-in-law.

Zhao Ke didn't rush over, but politely hugged his fists at the others and said, "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting." ”

The few people here are all peasant men, and they don't understand those false etiquette, so they are just busy waving their hands and responding crampedly, "No, no." ”

Zhao Ke didn't seem to mind, he still had a gentle smile on his face, and he was a little surprised to see Cheng Xi sitting with his own lady, "Who is this little girl?" ”

When Wang Ying chatted with Cheng Xi, she inquired about Cheng Xi's affairs, and answered Cheng Xi with a smile at this time, "Xiaoxi is this Brother Xu's little lady, the two of them are working in Ruyi Restaurant, she is here to ask her brother about going to Fucheng." ”

Zhao Ke nodded, and then went to sit down on the first place next to Old Man Wang, and then said to everyone, "I think my father-in-law has already told you that I am looking for someone to go to Fucheng to do things at the dock, if you have any questions, just ask me." ”

When these people originally came, they all discussed a lot of problems with their families, but at this time, they couldn't say a word for a long time in the face of Zhao Ke, who was the first with a smile on his face.

Cheng Xi was about to speak, but suddenly thought that it seemed a little inappropriate, after all, this is still an era of male superiority and inferiority, so it is good not to make any unreasonable moves, so Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang expectantly, Xu Sanlang did not disappoint Cheng Xi, and asked, "I don't know what to do?" ”

Zhao Ke responded patiently, "Doing things on the wharf is almost loading and unloading, although it is a little harder, but don't worry, compared to farming at home, it will not be much harder, and the income is higher." ”

Xu Sanlang nodded, and then didn't speak again, Zhao Ke turned his eyes to a few other people, waiting for them to ask, but no one spoke, Zhao Ke was very patient, and took the initiative to say for everyone, "You don't have to worry about wages, I will pay you a month's salary in advance before you go, which can be regarded as a guarantee for your family, and after the pass, if you can adapt to stay, you can stay, if you want to leave, I will also arrange to send everyone back." ”

Sure enough, what these people were most worried about was the truth or falsehood of such a high salary, and when they heard that they would actually pay the wages in advance, they showed a look of satisfaction and relief on their faces.

However, Cheng Xi always felt a little strange and uneasy, based on Cheng Xi's social experience, this is too smooth like a pie in the sky, and it is always better to be careful.

In the carriage before, because Uncle Wang was also there, Cheng Xi thought about it in his heart, and he didn't want to discuss it with Xu Sanlang, and he couldn't expect Xu Sanlang to ask his own questions at this time, and now he couldn't care so much, so he had to bite the bullet and say by himself, "Why does Brother Zhao want to come back to our county to find someone in the city and countryside?" It's hard to find someone in Fucheng? ”

Zhao Ke is also a human spirit, and he was a little surprised that Cheng Xi had such a meticulous mind at a young age, but he still responded with a smile, "It's always the people in my hometown who feel kinder." ”

Cheng Xi continued, "But the cost of this round trip is not a small amount, can Brother Zhao calculate it?" I'm afraid that some of the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Zhao Ke smiled unabated, looked at Cheng Xi and said, "If the girl has any questions, don't say it directly." ”

Cheng Xi said as tactfully as possible, "I just think that the salary for doing this loading and unloading work is a bit high, I don't know if I have to do something else?" ”

Cheng Xi said the words "other" a little heavily, Zhao Ke almost understood Cheng Xi's worries, originally he didn't want to say these words like this, it can be seen that Cheng Xi doesn't seem to be at ease if he doesn't ask clearly, and it's actually nothing to say it, Zhao Ke replied with a smile, "I won't beat around the bush and tell the truth, the docks in this Fucheng are also all factions, with their own forces, I have always wanted to expand my business, but I have limited manpower, of course, Fucheng wants to find manpower, it is really easy to find, But it's not easy to find someone you trust, and this time I came back, just to find a group of people to go over and train a group of henchmen by myself. ”

Cheng Xi is also an understanding person, and he understands these social phenomena even more, and he understands what Zhao Ke means when he hears this, after going to Fucheng, he will have to completely rely on his subordinates, or fellow villagers, and his own people cultivated in this way must be heartfelt, and of course, the more important thing is good welfare, so that he can better win people's hearts and cultivate henchmen.

"Still have questions?" Zhao Ke looked at Cheng Xi, who was caught in his thoughts, and asked.

I didn't think Cheng Xi really had a problem, so he said, "Will there be a fight between factions, and if something like this happens, will it be dangerous?" ”

Zhao Ke looked at Cheng Xi's eyes and became more and more surprised, he really didn't expect such a little girl to know so much, could it be that this little girl has been to Fucheng? But when I think about it, I think it's impossible, at such a young age, and with this outfit, she looks like a little peasant girl, and it shouldn't be possible to go to Fucheng.

Since I haven't been to Fucheng, then this girl is too smart, and she can speculate on these problems through her own words, such a smart girl, Zhao Ke appreciates it very much, so she doesn't hide it, "There will always be conflicts, but there won't be much danger, after all, everyone is here to make money, and they won't take their lives seriously, and Fucheng wants to make trouble, and it's not so easy to make trouble." ”

Cheng Xi asked almost, thinking that he would go to Ruyi Restaurant, seeing that noon was coming, and the back kitchen was so busy, he was afraid that everyone was waiting for them to go to work, so Cheng Xi glanced at Xu Sanlang.

Xu Sanlang understood, so he stood up and hugged his fist at Zhao Ke and said, "We still have to go to work in the restaurant, so let's leave first, and disturb Boss Zhao." ”

Zhao Ke admired such a smart little girl as Cheng Xi very much, but when people had something, it was not easy to force people, so she had to ask, "I just heard that the two of you are working in Ruyi Restaurant?" ”

Xu Saburo nodded, "Yes, doing chores in the back kitchen." ”

Zhao Ke opened his mouth and responded, "If you have the opportunity to go to Ruyi Restaurant, you can entertain two more people, and you two can appreciate your face." ”

Xu Sanlang was very surprised when he heard this, this Zhao Ke took such a fancy to them, no, it should be Cheng Xi, and he unconsciously felt irritable in his heart, and said, "How dare you trouble Boss Zhao." ”

Zhao Ke replied with a smile, "I see that my wife and your little lady have a tight relationship, and I am not at home all the year round, if they can make friends from time to time, it can make up for the loneliness of my wife." ”

Wang Ying on the side listened very approvingly, "Yes, Xiaoxi, let's fall in love, I don't have many people in this county who can talk, and my family is usually not there, if only you could come often, or I would go to the restaurant to find you." ”

Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "It's good that Sister Ying doesn't dislike it." Xu Saburo listened to the conversation of several people, and the irritability in his heart seemed to dissipate.

Cheng Xi also has considerations for making friends with this couple, as the saying goes, many friends have many roads, at present, these two seem to be good, whether they can become friends can be tried, there is another point, if the elder brother really follows this Zhao Ke to Fucheng, it is good to be able to make friends with the Zhao family, and it is good to take care of his brother more.

After that, Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang still got up and said goodbye and left, and greeted Uncle Wang before leaving, asking him to help ask his brother if there was a result of the discussion at home, if you want to go, you can go to see it, which can be regarded as an indirect affirmation that there is no problem in going to Fucheng.
