Tao Guangming closed the door of the workshop and said: "Everyone has seen the situation. In order not to arouse others' suspicion, we can only put the pile of stones mixed with jade materials in the yard. The first thing everyone has to do is to put the materials
Bring it in and identify whether it is jade. If it is jade, put it in the small warehouse inside. If it is not, just stack it here. When the quantity is large, we will transport it to the construction site."
Old man Sun said: "Identification should be very quick. After all, we are all old craftsmen. We can estimate it by just weighing it in our hands."
Tao Guangming nodded: "Yes, I know your abilities. But even if you weigh it, you have to take it inside and close the door before weighing it. Don't let people know that it is jade material."
Everyone nodded: "I know."
Tao Guangming added: "Comrade Li Wenjun and I have applied to have your factory's canteen provide three meals a day, and the dormitory is also within this wall. If you need to go back to the county town for something, please ask for leave with me in advance, and you can take the shuttle bus to the mining area."
"
As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others.
Although these craftsmen were all old men who had been with him for almost a year, he had to be on guard against them getting distracted by seeing so much jade material.
There is no guarantee that anyone can resist the temptation of money.
The craftsmen exchanged thoughtful looks. Isn't this just a prison to lock them up?
Tao Guangming saw this and smiled and said: "Don't take it too seriously. The main reason is that there is a lot of jade material and we have to rush the work. The working environment here is better and safer. If we were to transport so much jade material in the county, it would be a waste.
Being targeted is no joke. You have worked hard during this period, and I will give you double your salary."
When the craftsmen heard that they were getting double wages, they all smiled.
"It's still bright and comradely."
"It's really safer here."
“It’s okay to take care of food and housing and the environment is so good, there’s nothing wrong with it.”
Tao Guangming nodded: "Thank you for your understanding, let's start working."
Tao Guangming got a small cart to transport the stones to the workshop.
Then the first thing he did when he came to the factory every day was to push three carts of stones in with a trolley. He regarded it as a workout, and then went to the office to talk to Li Wenjun.
The workers looked at him happily pushing the trolley and couldn't help but laugh: "What a stone lunatic."
From one ton of black stone, an average of 14 to 5 pieces of useful jade material that is slightly larger than a palm can be sorted out. On average, a piece of jade material costs 200 yuan, which is about 3,000 yuan.
For Li Wenjun, there is also a tenfold profit. Sixty tons a month is 180,000 yuan.
Li Wenyong sent him the raw materials, and Tao Guangming helped him process them. So he provided a venue and changed hands.
Tsk tsk, it’s another business where you just sit and collect money.
-----
Tao Guangming doesn't know this. He is just a money-making machine who seems to have no emotions but is actually extremely happy. Every day, he carries jade materials, watches workers carve and sell jade, collects money, and then gives the money to Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun asked people to build a flower bed around the wall with the leftover stones from Tao Guangming. The black stones and cement edges were high-end and classy. In addition to the osmanthus, various climbing plants were planted on the wall, such as the climbing wall.
Roses, wisterias and the like, they will definitely be beautiful when they bloom next year.
Tao Guangming returned from delivering a batch of jade carvings to the city department store and provincial department store that day, and sat in Li Wenjun's office, silent.
Li Wenjun saw what happened to him and glanced at Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin hurriedly went out and closed the door.
Li Wenjun tapped the table with his finger and said, "Go on, don't suffocate yourself to death."
Tao Guangming said: "I heard something, I don't know if it has anything to do with you."
Li Wenjun narrowed his eyes: "Speak quickly."
Tao Guangming said: "Kong Yuzhen's father Kong Liren was involved in a car accident. The brakes failed and he hit a tree. Everyone else in the car was fine. Only he was not wearing a seat belt. He flew out and hit the windshield in front, injuring his spine. The doctor said,
He will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life."
Li Wenjun tilted his head and thought for a while: "I don't see what this matter has to do with me."
Tao Guangming said: "Originally I thought so too. But I heard that Mr. Tang's aunt is Kong Liren's cousin. Kong Liren and that cousin have never been on good terms."
What Mr. Tang said flashed through his mind: The person here has been found out, but not over there yet.
Li Wenjun smiled: "Maybe it was just a coincidence. Besides, since it was a car accident, it was uncontrollable. It would be too difficult to manually control the situation so that everyone else in the car would be fine. Kong Liren alone was seriously injured."
This is a fact. Even if Mr. Tang takes revenge, it has nothing to do with him.
We are all adults who have stopped developing and must be responsible for our own actions.
If Kong Liren had really participated, it would not be unjust to receive this kind of punishment.
Tao Guangming pursed his lips and thought for a moment: "Yes."
Li Wenjun looked at him.
Tao Guangming looked confused: "What are you doing?"
Li Wenjun narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Do you have anything else? You should have told me. Otherwise, you wouldn't always have a constipated expression."
Tao Guangming was silent for a moment and whispered: "Ji Rushi is pregnant."
Li Wenjun was stunned for a moment before he smiled: "That's a good thing. How many months has it been?"
Tao Guangming: "Two months."
Li Wenjun stood up and walked to him and patted his shoulder hard: "Congratulations. That means you will be a father next May."
Tao Guangming suddenly covered his face and whispered: "I'm scared."
The fragile and helpless little princess in his body emerged again...
Li Wenjun was helpless and comforted: "What are you afraid of? There is a saying that if you are not afraid of not growing up, you are afraid of not raising it. Child, as long as you give birth to him, he will grow as soon as the wind blows. Children who grew up in the mining area are running around.
Come on, they are all so strong."
Tao Guangming swallowed more and said: "I'm afraid that she will have a dystocia like Teacher Gu, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to be a good father like you and Brother Yong. You know, before I met you, I was just a gangster in the market.
, I don’t even know what to do tomorrow.”
Li Wenjun sighed softly: "The fact that you think about this shows that you have a sense of responsibility, which is good. Before I was a little bit better, I was no better than you."
Tao Guangming suddenly looked up at him with all his tears in his eyes: "That's right. I'm much better than you."
Li Wenjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Ah, you change your face too quickly."
Tao Guangming said seriously: "You can be a good father, and I can definitely do it. I am richer, more leisurely, and more popular than you were when I was a little older."
Li Wenjun stood up and walked out: "Cao, I shouldn't comfort you. You will stab me in the heart."
Tao Guangming caught up and said, "Your wife particularly disliked you at that time. I am different. My wife loves me."
Li Wenjun's face sank: "Hey, that's enough, don't go too far. Don't slap someone in the face if you hit someone. Don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold someone."
Tao Guangming: "I can also buy milk powder, bottles and pacifiers. I have whatever I want. I'm suddenly in a very good mood."
