Reborn to Strive

Chapter 169

Shi Zhen returned to Changxi City and continued working with Duan Hongming.

Last year's economic crisis, this year's economic situation is actually not good.

They didn't feel much while staying in Changxi City, but for the whole country, they were actually greatly affected.

That is, this year, the state has opened up many real estate-related policies.

Domestic real estate, in fact, developed rapidly from this year, and started to soar ten years later.

In his previous life, it was also from this year that he received more and more business and made the business bigger and bigger.

Shi Zhen has already thought about it, and when he has money in a few days, he will buy land and build a house to make his company famous.

Duan Hongming and Zhao Qiujuan accompanied Duan Hongming's parents to visit Changxi City yesterday, but today, Duan Hongming's parents have gone home.

Duan Hongming's father hadn't retired yet, so he was rushing back to work. As for Duan Hongming's mother, she was going to take care of the eldest son.

"How is the preparation for the construction site going?" Shi Zhen asked Duan Hongming. The construction site he was talking about was the construction of the largest shopping mall and nearby commercial facilities in Changxi City for many years to come.

Shi Zhen didn't have enough workers, and sometimes he had to ask other people to do it together, so there was a lot of preparation work to do.

"People came to sign up one after another last week. I screened out some. Boss, you can take a look." Duan Hongming said.

Although he became the boss's brother-in-law for some reason and was in a daze for a while, Duan Hongming did not miss those jobs.

Shi Zhen took the documents that Duan Hongming had sorted out and looked at them.

Those in the front row were all local foremen in Changxi City, some of them had worked with Shi Zhen, and some of them knew Shi Zhen.

But there are some people that Shi Zhen doesn't know in the back, wait until the end...

Shi Zhen's pupils shrank.

He saw a name that was so familiar...that he would never forget it.

The person who killed Guan Baiyu in his previous life.

If you want to say who is the person he hates the most in his two lifetimes, it must be this person.

The contractor's surname is Shao, and his name is Shao Baitong.

When Shi Zhen worked for him back then, even though he withheld wages or even refused to pay wages at all, had poor food and protective measures, and cut corners when doing projects, Shi Zhen could only hate him, not hate him.Many capitalists are like this.

In the 90s, that is, the flow of information was slow, and the public did not understand the law, so many people had nowhere to ask for help after being cheated.

After 2000, information broadcasting became faster. At that time, it was not uncommon to hear that migrant workers were not paid. No one jumped off a building to ask for wages.

But even so, this problem was not completely solved. Later, the number of workers became smaller and smaller, and it was difficult to recruit workers, so the situation changed completely.

As for the period when he first came out to work, there were indeed many messy things.

As far as child labor is concerned, some black factories will find twelve or thirteen-year-old children to work, and what these children are asked to do is still exposed to poisonous substances.

Not to mention child labor... Just talk about Changxi City. Not long ago, a printing and dyeing factory was fined and rectified.

What Shao Baitong did is really not that dark. There are really many people like Shao Baitong.

But later, Shao Baitong's relatives were not careful when working on the scaffolding and injured Shi Xinghuo. Shao Baitong refused to pay for the medical expenses, and said that they were too busy to protect relatives and drive them away, which was too much.

Shi Xinghuo could have survived originally.

Not to mention, Shao Baitong also bumped into Guan Baiyu to death.

No matter how much he hated Shao Baitong back then, he never thought of harming someone's life. What about Shao Baitong?

Of course, Shao Baitong failed to please him in the end. He was sentenced to death for deliberate murder.

In this life, Shi Zhen has actually avoided thinking about this person.

After all, every time he thinks about it, he can't breathe well.

It's just that he didn't expect to see Shao Baitong's name in this list.

"This is..." Shi Zhen asked Duan Hongming.

"This Shao Baitong came from J City. It is said that he has been doing engineering for many years and is very experienced. However, I don't know much about the situation in J City, and he is not familiar with him, so I put his name at the end. "Duan Hongming said.

Shi Zhen didn't say much, he picked a few partners from the people he knew before, thought for a while and said: "Duan Hongming, we may go to J city to develop in the future, please help me check the information of J city. Regarding the situation, this Shao Baitong will also check it out."

"Okay." Duan Hongming took over the task energetically.

The boss wants to expand the company's business scope, which is a good thing!

As for inquiring about Shao Baitong's situation in J City, this is also a normal business practice.

When Duan Hongming left, Shi Zhen fell on the chair and closed his eyes.

Shao Baitong...

When Shi Zhen knew about Shao Baitong, Shao Baitong was inviting some people from Changxi City to drink and eat.

Among these people, there are contractors from Changxi City, and some people in Changxi City who have connections in their hands.

Shao Baitong reserved a private room at the big hotel where Shi Zhen had invited Duan Hongming's parents to dinner, and there was a large table of seafood and abalone.

A soft-shelled turtle the size of a basketball was brought to the table by the waiter, and Shao Baitong greeted everyone to eat it: "Try it quickly, everyone. This is a wild big soft-shelled turtle. I specially found someone to find it. It doesn't exist in the shop here. I brought it here for them to process." of."

"Such a big soft-shelled turtle, really good."

"Strength."

"This soup is fresh enough!"

……

Everyone was talking and eating, and as they ate, Shao Baitong mentioned the project.

What Shi Zhen took over was really a big project.

"I'm from City J, and I don't know much about Changxi City. What is the origin of Baishi Construction?" Shao Baitong toasted him with a glass of wine.

Someone drank: "Shi Zhen from Baishi Construction came out of nowhere, not a local."

"He's not very young, but he's capable."

"It's good at promoting yourself."

……

Shao Baitong made another round of toasts: "I also specially found this wine, everyone have a taste... Is there someone above him? How come such a big project has been accepted?"

"There's really no one above him."

"This project was accepted because no one was above him."

"Everyone wants it, but if they can't make it up, it will be cheaper for him in the end."

"It's luck that he was able to receive this project... and he is quite good at making troubles. The incident of smashing the wall before was really unexpected to others."

……

Everyone talked more and more: "This Shi Zhen is not simple."

"He really doesn't make mistakes... He's only in his early twenties, but he's impeccable in his work."

"He was also lucky."

"He and Mr. Liang are very close."

"The people above appreciate him too."

……

Shao Baitong: "I want to take part in this project..."

"He will find someone to cooperate with, but he will basically not find you. How many people are waiting here! You are new here." Someone said.

"Then can we find a relationship?" Shao Baitong asked again.

"It doesn't matter to him himself, how can he find a relationship?" Someone said.

After dinner, Shao Baitong met some people in Changxi City.

After he was not at the wine table, someone had a heart-to-heart relationship with him and said something more detailed about Shi Zhen: "That Shi Zhen, in fact, there are many people who don't like him. It's only been a few years? He has robbed him How many people's jobs have been lost!"

"Don't worry, there is no one behind him."

"But be careful, you're new here."

……

Shao Baitong tried his best to hang out in Changxi City, and as soon as he established a network, he learned that Shi Zhen did not intend to cooperate with him.

He lived in a hotel in Changxi City, and when he heard about this, he immediately turned cold: "I don't know what to do!"

He thought for a while, and called someone: "Go and check this Shi Zhen! And his construction site, to see if there is anything wrong."

At the same time, Shi Zhen also learned about Shao Baitong's situation.

After all, it's easy to inquire about.

In his previous life, he made a fuss at Shao Baitong's construction site very early on. After that, Shao Baitong didn't say anything else, at least he didn't dare to push the workers too hard when something happened.

But in this life, without his quarrel with Shao Baitong, Shao Baitong would not improve at all.

At first, he was also lucky. Although some things happened, they were all settled by him.

But in the second half of last year, something big happened at his construction site.

A worker was crushed to death because of a safety hazard at the construction site, and encountered something similar to Shi Xinghuo.

Human life is worthless these days. In such a situation, Shao Baitong was willing to pay more than one hundred thousand yuan, so he could actually keep the matter private.

People don't know much about it, so if you fool around, you can pay tens of thousands.

In his previous life, when Shi Xinghuo had an accident, he received very little compensation, only [-] yuan, and he only got it after he sued.

But Shao Baitong refused to pay even this amount of money, wanting to renege on his debt.

The dead migrant workers also had companions, but they had nothing to do with Shao Baitong. These honest people, like him back then, didn't know how to use the law to protect themselves.

Later, the family of the migrant worker came and cried and begged, but it was still useless.

This man had a sick old lady, and in the last cruelty, she ran to the building where Shao Baitong built his house and jumped off.

As a result, the matter became serious. Shao Baitong's construction site could not continue, and he suffered huge losses. He was also required to pay 20 yuan in compensation.

It's a pity that because he didn't kill the person, he was able to escape unscathed.

Shao Baitong has been working in J City for many years, and he has no shortage of contacts, but he has passed through this matter, and no one in J City dares to do the project for him. If he can't get the project, he will come here Changxi City wants to seek development.

Shi Zhen didn't expect that without Shi Xinghuo, someone would suffer.

He stared blankly at Duan Hongming who said this.

Duan Hongming was also a little angry: "Fortunately, we didn't ask him to cooperate, otherwise it would be too disgusting! This guy is simply not human!"

"Yes." Shi Zhen took a deep breath.

Duan Hongming said again: "Someone injured his leg on his construction site before, and it was a local over there, and he didn't ask for compensation, alas!"

Shi Zhen thought for a while and said: "Please go and check again. If the person with the injured leg is struggling, he can give some help, and how is the family who has received compensation? You can also inquire about it."

"The compensation of 20 yuan is not a small amount. The family should be fine. The one who injured his leg is not doing well. After being limped, he couldn't work and was kicked out of the house by his elder brother and sister-in-law..." Duan Hongming said.

Housing is tight these days. It's not surprising that my elder brother and sister-in-law won't let him live at home after he became crippled.

His parents had to rely on his elder brother and sister-in-law for the elderly, so naturally they didn't dare to take care of them.

Shi Zhendao: "If that's the case...you can ask him if he would like to come to my construction site to watch the gate, with food and lodging included."

His construction site needs someone to watch the gate.

There are a lot of unemployed people now, unlike 20 years later, the people in charge of guarding the gate are generally middle-aged and elderly people... Nowadays, there are many young and strong men who guard the gate for others.

The local middle-aged and elderly people are all farming at home.

But this kind of work, in fact, even a lame person can do it.

If the man has no work, it is better to give him a job than to give him other help.
