Hearing Yuan Xudong's shout, Old Wei and others stopped, turned around and looked at the well-dressed Yuan Xudong, frowned slightly and said:
"I know that you are the supervisor of Jingyan Group and are responsible for attendance records. Wang Yongzheng wants to deduct a day of work from us, so let him deduct it. He is the person in charge of the construction site. There is nothing more to say!"
Seeing Lao Wei's indignant look, Yuan Xudong smiled and explained:
"Master Wei, you misunderstood. I'm not talking to you about whether to deduct a day's work. On the contrary, I want to ask you to do a favor. I wonder if I can spare a few minutes of your time?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong with a sincere expression, Old Wei shook his head slightly and refused:
"If you want to ask us to go back and help Wang Yongzheng do it again, then you don't need to say anything. Wang Yongzheng is arrogant, and my brothers and I are not the kind of people who are hot-faced and cold-hearted. Unless he personally invites us back,
Otherwise, he can just do it by himself. Isn’t that just deducting his salary? Let him deduct it. If you don’t keep the boss here, you will have the boss. If we can’t offend him, we can’t afford to hide him.”
Seeing the angry look on Lao Wei's face, Yuan Xudong quickly persuaded him:
"Master Wei, my name is Yuan Xudong, you can call me Xiao Yuan. Speaking of which, you are about the same age as my father, and he is also a construction worker. I know that you, the older generation of construction workers, are experienced and have your own understanding of engineering.
Unfortunately, Wang Yong is a theoretical person. He just graduated from school and believes that experience is unreliable and only rigorous design and planning can lead to good projects. This can be regarded as keeping pace with the times.
The current environment is like this. When you go to work in other places, you may encounter academics like Li Yongzheng and Zhang Yongzheng. You can't just give up and leave if there is a slight conflict, right?
We are all part-time workers. We get paid to do one thing, and we can do whatever the person in charge tells us to do. Why bother struggling with money just to save our breath?"
Having said this, he glanced at the construction workers surrounding him, and then continued to persuade Old Wei:
"Master Wei, you are the foreman, and you have dozens of brothers under you. They all trust you very much and share the joys and sorrows with you. To be honest, the reason why everyone stayed away from home and came to work in Magic City is not just to go home during the New Year.
When traveling, can you bring a little more money to your family?
You and Wang Yongzheng are angry. The best he can do is to work harder on his own, stay up late and work overtime, and bring me and the ignorant little girl who bought you noodles. For you dozens of people, one day's absence from work is worth more than 10,000 yuan.
Yuan, not counting the time that may be lost in the future!"
Seeing that Old Wei looked relaxed, Yuan Xudong quickly struck while the iron was hot:
"I took a look and the hotel project is almost completed. If you give up in the last ten or twenty days and delay the progress of the project, the biggest loss will be not Wang Yongzheng, but the hotel itself, which has been working for so long
, please bear with Wang Yongzheng for the last time, I guess he is about the same age as your son, he is a naive boy, why do you need to vent your anger on young people? "
After hearing Yuan Xudong say a lot of truth, although Old Wei and the construction workers around him had calmed down, thinking of Wang Yongzheng threatening him and others, Old Wei still couldn't lose face and said:
"I admit that what you said makes sense, but it is absolutely impossible for us to bow to Wang Yongzheng without eating steamed buns to fight for our reputation!"
Knowing that Old Wei loves face, Yuan Xudong immediately followed his temper and said:
"I'm not asking you and Wang Yongzheng to bow their heads and admit their mistakes, but I'm asking you, sir, to have a lot of money and the prime minister's heart to support the boat. Don't worry too much about a young man like Wang Yongzheng.
What's more, you ate the little girl's noodles for lunch and promised her to continue working after she went back. You can't just let it go just because of Wang Yongzheng's words, right?
If you just leave, Wang Yongzheng will definitely drag this little girl to stay up late and work overtime. It's all owned by the big men. With every spit and nail, you will treat the little girl as a helper. I can't give you overtime pay. This is against the rules.
However, I have enough beer and crayfish for my treat tonight. In the next ten or twenty days, please support Nansun and I in our work!"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong was persuading him and others in a good voice, and that they were treating him to beer and crayfish in the evening, Old Wei said with a satisfied smile:
"In order for us to go back to work, you persuaded us and invited us to dinner. Isn't it because of this little girl?"
After saying that, without waiting for Yuan Xudong to respond, Old Wei continued to laugh:
"You have good taste. The little girl is young and beautiful, and has a good heart. Since you give us face like this, we will go back to work for the sake of your and the little girl's face and not care about Wang Yongzheng.
Don't worry, your treat will not be in vain. We will complete the hotel project on time and say a few more good words for you in front of the little girl. You are a good person, much better than Wang Yongzheng!"
"Thank you, Master Wei. Don't worry, I will be responsible for attendance records, and everyone's working hours will be recorded truthfully."
Hearing this, Old Wei nodded slightly, looked at the construction workers around him and shouted:
"Everyone, we have heard what Mr. Yuan said. Let's go back and continue working. In the next ten or twenty days, we will complete the hotel project well. Don't let others look down on us!"
"Foreman, I listen to you, we can do whatever you want us to do!"
"Yes, we can't let others underestimate us!"
In the Songjiang Boutique Hotel, Wang Yongzheng and Jiang Nansun were standing on the scaffolding replacing buckles. Seeing Jiang Nansun's unhappy look, Wang Yongzheng joked:
"Jiang Nansun, your ability to choose a boyfriend is really not very good. In the past, there was Zhang Anren who was sanctimonious, and then there was Yuan Xudong who ran away and left you alone to work on the construction site. Seriously, how about you consider me?"
After rolling his eyes at Wang Yongzheng, Jiang Nansun explained directly:
"I have not broken up with Zhang Anren, and Yuan Xudong is not my boyfriend. I have no control over what he does. If it hadn't been for the internship project assigned by Professor Dong, I wouldn't have stayed to work with you.
Master Wei is right, you just don't know how to work around, you only threaten others with the rules. Even if you have your own reasons, others just won't listen. What else can you do besides deducting your salary?
I have already solved the problem. You have to be more serious. Now it’s okay. It’s just the two of us working overtime. If Master Wei and the others don’t come to work tomorrow, it will delay the progress of the project and you will be the unlucky one. Of course, you still have
The one who supports me, that’s me!”
Hearing what Jiang Nansun said, Wang Yongzheng shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Old Wei knows the importance. He will not fail to come tomorrow. Of course, if they don't come, then we will recruit a new group of construction workers and work overtime a few more times. The delayed progress can be made up for!"
Hearing this, Jiang Nansun rolled his eyes and said:
"It's a small matter in the first place. You can just say a few soft words. Is it so big that you need to replace a group of construction workers? If you do this, you will waste time and spend more budget funds. It is simply thankless.
You're just messing around!"
Hearing Jiang Nansun criticize himself, Wang Yongzheng said in a calm voice while replacing the buckle:
"My name is Wang Yongzheng. I always insist on what is right. Right is right and wrong is wrong. It is obviously Lao Wei and his friends' problem. Why should I give in to them and please them?"
Having said that, without waiting for Jiang Nansun to refute, Wang Yongzheng quickly changed the subject and said:
"Okay, let's not talk about these things that have passed. Let me tell you some good news. The brochure of Songjiang Boutique Hotel has been printed, and I asked Lillian to print a few more copies.
When you and Yuan Xudong were leaving, a soft decoration designer came over from school. Lillian asked him to bring a copy to me. I put it on the tool table over there. You go over and take a look and turn to the last page.
Are you surprised if I print your name and the specific project you are responsible for on it?"
Hearing what Wang Yongzheng said, Jiang Nansun climbed down from the scaffolding, picked up a beautifully crafted hotel brochure from a tool table not far away, and turned to the last page. Sure enough, he saw his name and the specific project he was responsible for. Jiang Nansun
He looked hesitant and said:
"I didn't do anything?"
Wang Yongzheng shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said matter-of-factly:
"Since you have participated, of course your name should appear in the hotel's brochure. This is what Professor Dong means. Regardless of whether you can be admitted to his Ph.D., this project experience will be a highlight on your resume. In the future,
It’s easier to find a job!”
Hearing Wang Yongzheng talk about finding a job, Jiang Nansun looked slightly stunned, then he smiled and said:
"Wang Yongzheng, thank you. I really need a good job. The more money I can make, the better!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nansun would say this. Wang Yongzheng was slightly startled, and then he joked:
"Jiang Nansun, I thought you were the unworldly Princess Jiang. I didn't expect you also like money. But it's a pity that there are many college graduates like you. It's not difficult to find a job. How much money do you want to earn?
It's difficult.
Otherwise, your boyfriend Zhang Anren wouldn't have tried so hard to please the school leaders and compete with me for the place to stay in school. Even if he eventually became a university teacher, he would have an iron job. How much money would he make?
It’s an unlikely thing, the chance is too slim!”
Hearing Wang Yongzheng mocking his boyfriend Zhang Anren again, Jiang Nansun looked unhappy and said:
"You stay with Professor Dong every day, like conjoined twins, and her daughter Lillian likes you so much and is obedient to you. Isn't this just a favor?"
Seeing Jiang Nansun so sharp-tongued, Wang Yongzheng raised his hands in surrender and said:
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have said bad things about your boyfriend Zhang Anren. He is the kindest and most upright person in the world. Is that okay?"
After glaring at Wang Yongzheng, Jiang Nansun put the hotel brochure back on the tool table, climbed back onto the scaffolding and started working:
"Stop talking nonsense and work quickly. If you can't finish it tomorrow, just wait for other people's reports!"
Hearing this, Wang Yongzheng smiled and joked:
"Don't worry, as long as you can finish half of it, the two of us will definitely be able to redo this place before dawn tomorrow!"
Hearing what Wang Yongzheng said, Jiang Nansun, who had just changed three or four rows of buckles, and his arms were already feeling uncomfortable, frowned slightly, but his voice was still stubborn:
"Don't worry, it's half and half, I won't drag you down!"
Wang Yongzheng nodded slightly and said with a smile on his face:
"That's good. If you really can't hold on, you can call your boyfriend Zhang Anren and ask him to come over and help you!"
Hearing this, Jiang Nansun was quite moved. After thinking about it, he finally refused:
"No need, he is busy with the school celebration exhibition, I can't disturb him!"
Seeing that Jiang Nansun was so concerned about her boyfriend Zhang Anren, when Wang Yongzheng was about to say something, Yuan Xudong and Lao Wei walked in with construction workers.
Without waiting for Wang Yongzheng's instructions, Lao Wei directly ordered his architects to start making adjustments according to Wang Yongzheng's requirements.
Seeing Wang Yongzheng and Jiang Nansun looking at him, Yuan Xudong walked over directly, looked at them and said:
"It's done, Nansun, you and I can get off work on time!"
Seeing Lao Wei and the others busy, Wang Yongzheng looked at Yuan Xudong, frowned slightly and said:
"You didn't pay them to come back, did you?"
"Yes and no!"
Yuan Xudong smiled slightly and said:
"Don't worry, I didn't spend the company's money. Master Wei, because of Nansun's kindness in treating them to noodles, promised me to come back and continue working. In order to thank them for understanding and supporting Nansun and I's future work, I decided to invite them
Have dinner, this way, it won’t break your rules and face, but it will also take care of Master Wei’s mood, so it’s the best of both worlds!”
After hearing Yuan Xudong's explanation, Wang Yongzheng looked unhappy and said:
"They did something wrong, why would you invite them to dinner? Isn't this creating hidden dangers?"
Hearing this, Yuan Xudong shook his head slightly and said:
"Rules are dead, people are alive. I believe Master Wei and the others will work hard. In the last ten or twenty days, as long as the project can be completed on time and the quality is guaranteed, the rights and wrongs during this period are not important.
, there is time to pay attention to right and wrong, why not think about how to solve the problem!"
Wang Yongzheng frowned and said rather disapprovingly:
"Aren't you encouraging their wrong behavior? If you make a mistake, you have to correct it. If everyone is like this, who will do the right thing?"
Hearing this, Yuan Xudong spread his hands and said helplessly:
“First, I don’t have the ability to change other people’s minds;
Second, what you insist on is correct, but the company only looks at the results, and it will be completed in ten or twenty days. A conflict now will only harm the company's interests. Compromise is more beneficial than toughness;
Third, if they come back and continue working, Nansun and I can get off work and go home on time, and the cost is just a dinner;
Fourth, after ten or twenty days, everyone will go their separate ways, why should I care about so many things?"
Before Wang Yongzheng could refute, Yuan Xudong looked directly at Jiang Nansun and changed the subject:
"Nansun, was I handsome just now? Did you learn anything from the comparison between me and Wang Yongzheng?"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xudong would ask himself this question. Jiang Nansun was stunned and said:
"Are you doing this just for me to learn?"
Hearing this, Yuan Xudong shrugged his shoulders and said jokingly:
"If it weren't for you, why would I do this thankless thing? After all, this is your internship project, and it is related to whether you can be admitted to Professor Dong's Ph.D., so it is better to complete it perfectly.
As for Wang Yongzheng’s reasoning, let’s leave it to reasonable people. I never use my brain to think about problems, I just look at my butt sitting there!”
Hearing Yuan Xudong's vulgar words, Jiang Nansun frowned slightly. She disagreed with Wang Yongzheng's insistence, and felt that Yuan Xudong's compromise seemed strange. She always seemed like she couldn't tell what was wrong.
