Chapter Fifty-Three: Old Brother Skin
I nodded, "It's okay, we're just looking for some information, you can go back to sleep." ”
Xiao Chen nodded hurriedly and walked out.
Lantern Xiao watched Xiao Chen walk away, walked over and whispered, "This kid won't be spying on us, right?" ”
I frowned, I actually thought the same way, but it was just a guess, but I couldn't rule it out.
Lantern Xiao stood in front of the window, looked outside, and stretched out his hand to close the curtains, "It seems that we still have to be careful, that Anador of yours can't be fully trusted!" ”
I nodded, "I understand!" I suddenly came to my senses, "Hey, what are you talking about, whose Anado!" How did it become mine! ”
Lantern Xiao shrugged her shoulders and put on a noncommittal attitude, as if she didn't want to argue with me. I shook my head helplessly, turned my head and saw that the second uncle on the wall was also smiling at me, and I said to myself, "Hey, second uncle, you are laughing at me too!" ”
I found that this photo was one of the few frontal group photos of the second uncle, who was a few years younger at that time, and seemed to be more energetic than now. Next to the second uncle stood a man who looked a little older than him, with a loyal face, a little gray beard, very plain clothes, and his body was covered with dust, and he was smiling innocently.
Who is this person? Could it be that he is also an employee of the second uncle's company, this person is older than the second uncle. But why did they take a group photo? While thinking, I looked at the background of the photo. Suddenly, I was stunned, my heart jumped wildly, and I saw that in the background of the photo seemed to be a construction site, and there was a sign standing next to the construction site, on which were written two big words in white paint: No. 5!
"Number 5! Number 5! I couldn't help but say silently, could this be the so-called No. 5 planting base.
Lantern Xiao leaned over and looked, "What's wrong?" ”
I stretched out my finger and pointed to the sign in the photo, "Look at this, could this be the hidden No. 5 planting base?" ”
Lantern Xiao frowned, "It's not necessarily a planting foundation, but this No. 5 won't be placed here for no reason, your second uncle seems to convey some hints through these photos, I think there must be an article in it." We'd better find a worker tomorrow and ask. ”
I nodded, "Okay!" ”
We searched again, but there was nothing special, so we went back to our room, lay down and slept again.
Due to tossing and turning in the middle of the night, we slept until three o'clock in the morning, and as soon as I woke up, I heard the sound of workers working in the yard of the company. I looked at the time and immediately sat up. Now that I'm the acting boss here, it's really unreasonable to lie down and sleep lazy.
I got dressed and woke up Lantern Festival in the other bed. We washed up and walked into the yard and saw two truckloads of herbs pulled into the yard, and the workers were busy unloading gesturing.
At this time, Xiao Chen ran over with a smile, "Two bosses early!" ”
"Early?" Lantern Xiao glanced at him, "You're laughing at us, what time is it, it's almost lunch!" ”
Xiao Chen snorted, "You can't say that, didn't the two bosses work overtime last night!" ”
"Hey!" Lantern Xiao looked at Xiao Chen, and then at me, "You employee, you have a future!" ”
I also smiled and asked Xiao Chen, "Is there a place to eat breakfast near here?" ”
Xiao Chen said: "There is a canteen in the company, but it is already past the meal. However, it doesn't matter, Sister Ah came in the morning, and when she saw that the two of them were still asleep, she put breakfast in the conference room! With that, he walked towards the conference room.
I sighed in the back and scratched my head, "The company is so sluggish, two people like lazy pigs, sleeping until now, it's a shame to be thrown thousands of miles away!" ”
Lantern Xiao shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said softly in my ear: "Okay, you really plan to start a business here, your task is to help your second uncle deal with the current affairs." It's not that buddies underestimate you, what can you do if you don't sleep? Do you know Chinese medicine? As he spoke, Lantern Xiao pointed to the car in the distance, "Do you know what kind of medicine those grasses are, what diseases they treat, and how they are processed?" After speaking, he patted me, "Okay, just eat and drink as it comes!" ”
Although it didn't sound good, I had to admit that Lantern Xiao was right, but I still threw his hand aside in annoyance, "Get out!" ”
The two of us walked into the conference room and saw two cups of soy milk on the table, and four things that looked like old Peking chicken rolls, and I picked up one curiously, "What is this?" KFC? ”
Xiao Chen smiled, "This is our Guiyang special breakfast, wrapped with cake fritters." It is to wrap the fritters in cakes and eat them, with some sauce and sour radish in the middle. ”
Lantern Xiao also picked up one, "It looks similar to the pancake fruit in the north." He took a bite as he spoke, "Yes!" It tastes good! ”
Xiao Chen saw that we had started eating, so he prepared to go out. I suddenly remembered something, so I stopped him and asked, "Who is the employee who has been working here the longest time now?" ”
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said: "That should be regarded as Lao Zhuang, he has been here for many years, he was here for a long time before I came, I heard that he was there when the factory was first built." ”
I was happy in my heart, I was looking for such a person, and then said to Xiao Chen: "Please invite him here, I want to ask him something." ”
"Good!" Xiao Chen agreed and walked out. Soon Xiao Chen led an old man back, and this old man should be what he called Lao Zhuang. Lao Zhuang looks to be in his sixties, with short silver hair, and a little hunchbacked, but he is in good spirits.
Xiao Chen pointed at me and said, "Lao Zhuang, this is the new boss of our company, I want you to know something, and you can answer whatever I ask you in a while." ”
I thought Xiao Chen was talking too much, so I waved my hand and motioned for him to go out. Xiao Chen nodded and left.
Lao Zhuang looked at me and Lantern Xiao with a smile, and seemed a little nervous. I asked him to sit down and poured him a glass of water. It made Lao Zhuang a little frightened, and he stood up at a loss, "Boss, is it because I'm old and don't plan to continue using me?" Actually, I ......"
I hurriedly waved my hand again and again, "Uncle, you misunderstood!" I just came here, I don't know some things, you are a veteran employee, so I ask you some questions. ”
Lantern Festival while eating, while saying: "I said uncle, don't be nervous, let's just chat casually, as the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, have you always eaten?" A set? As he spoke, he picked up a set of bread fritters and handed it over.
Lao Zhuang hurriedly waved his hand, "No, I've eaten it." After saying that, he sat down with a smile, his expression eased a lot, and he was no longer so nervous. After chatting with us for a few words, it was not so restrained, and gradually opened up the conversation.
Lao Zhuang told me that when the second uncle first came here, it was just a wasteland, and the second uncle bought this land from the village, and at the same time hired a lot of village names as workers. This is basically the unspoken rule of convention, the village sells you land, and you help the village solve some employment problems. Lao Zhuang is a villager from the nearby village, so he came to work in the second uncle's factory.
At that time, Lao Zhuang was even the older of these villagers, so the second uncle would often ask him to learn about the local situation.
I asked Lao Zhuang, "My second uncle, ah no, your original boss Zhuo, what did you ask about at that time?" ”
Lao Zhuang thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's nothing, at that time, Boss Zhuo just arrived, probably to ask about the local environment, customs, and customs." Alas, this blink of an eye, so many years have passed, Boss Zhuo misses the old love, I am old, and he didn't drive me away. Speaking of Boss Zhuo, he is a good person, everyone believes in him, he is not often here, I heard that he has business in other places, so he only comes here occasionally, but we will never be lazy, we have to be worthy of others! ”
I nodded and continued to ask, "How were these four planting bases established later, do you know the specific situation?" ”
Lao Zhuang shook his head, "I don't know about this, it's all handled by our President Zhuo." ”
I was a little disappointed with the results of these questions, but I still didn't give up, and pointed to the picture on the wall and asked, "Have you ever seen this picture before?" ”
I didn't have much hope, but I didn't expect Lao Zhuang to blurt out, "Ah, this photo, I've seen it!" ”
This immediately made me overjoyed, and I immediately took down the photo and handed it to Lao Zhuang, "Then you carefully tell me about the content of this photo." ”
Lao Zhuang held up the photo and looked at it, "Where the photo was taken, I don't know." I've only seen this guy. ”
I immediately asked, "This person?" Who is he? ”
Lao Zhuang returned the photo to me and said: "Speaking of which, this matter is a little strange, the person in the photo seems to have suddenly appeared in the factory, and the accent is not a local, no one knows where he came from, only that it was led by President Zhuo." No one knew his name, so everyone called him Old Gophi. ”
"Gopi? Hiccup? How does it look like swearing? Lantern Xiao said stupidly.
Lao Zhuang was not angry, and said with a smile: "Gepi is our dialect in Guizhou, which means the meaning of man!" ”
"Oh, I see." I looked at the photo in my hand and frowned slightly, thinking that there was something wrong with this photo. Then I went on to ask, "And then, where did this person go?" ”
Lao Zhuang sighed, "It's dead!" ”
"Dead?" Lantern Xiao and I were taken aback, "How did you die?" ”
Lao Zhuang said: "I heard that I once went out to investigate with Mr. Zhuo, but in the heavy rain, the car driven by the old brother Pi ran out of control and rushed down the hill and was swept away by the flash flood. ”
It turned out that there was such a thing, so I then asked Lao Zhuang, "Then do you know what project Mr. Zhuo and Lao Gepi went out to inspect at the beginning?" ”
Lao Zhuang lowered his head and thought carefully for a while before he said, "It seems to be a new base." ”
When I heard this, I felt a burst of excitement in my heart, and stood up suddenly, "Is it the fifth planting base?" Do you know where it is? ”
