Her plans couldn't be delayed like this.
"It's very hard to find people now, especially since this place is pretty far out."
Mr Xu was also having a headache over this. It was expensive to hire workers, but the bigger problem was that few were willing to do this sort of work and couldn't take the work, so he couldn't find anyone at such short notice.
Lin Yuzhen was still frowning when she saw that the hooligans from the morning were all walking towards them.
She immediately became nervous, "Who... who untied them?"
Mr Xu became even paler, and anxiously looked around for Jiang Ning.
But Jiang Ning wasn't around - who could fend them off now?
But the entire group walked right up to Lin Yuzhen and bowed slightly.
"Miss Lin, we will listen to your instructions for the next two months and work on this construction site!” said the leader.
"Wha-?"
Lin Yuzhen was in shock. What did he mean?
So they weren't here to make trouble, but they wanted to work on the site?
She was just vexed over how she couldn't find enough workers to speed up the building of the factory, and now all these men had come just in time to offer to work on the site.
But these men all looked so dangerous and scary, she didn't dare to hire any of them.
"We don't need to be paid! We just want to complete the work and regain our freedom!" the leader continued.
Lin Yuzhen and the rest were even more stunned. They wanted to work but didn't need to be paid?
Work on a construction site was all menial work. It was tough but they didn't want money, and only wanted to regain their freedom.
Lin Yuzhen turned to see Jiang Ning walking over.
"Jiang Ning, what's going on?”
"They want to prove that they can do something else besides fight. You're facing a shortage of workers now, so I told them to come over."
Jiang Ning took one look at them. "Don't worry about hiring them, they won't dare to make any trouble."
If anyone dared to, then they couldn't blame Jiang Ning for turning nasty.
Lin Yuzhen still didn't dare to believe her ears, so some of the men just went straight into the site and carried some cement bags in.
Once one started moving, the rest of the men moved too. They went asking the other workers what needed to be done, and started work very quickly.
At least this way, they just needed to use the next two months to repay their debt of 100k. They could get their freedom back and get some pride back as well.
Lin Yuzhen watched in confusion as the hooligans who had made so much trouble before were now rolling up their sleeves and working in the hot sun at the construction site. How did this world change so fast?
"They really won't make any trouble?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She was most worried that they would cause trouble.
The project couldn't afford any further delays.
"Don't worry, these people have been abandoned and they want to prove themselves now. They don't have any time or energy to make trouble," replied Jiang
Ning calmly.
"Then about their salary..." Mr Xu couldn't help but ask.
"Salary? It's already not bad that I didn't ask for money from them,” snorted Jiang Ning.
Lin Yuzhen rolled her eyes at Jiang Ning.
"I will consider the issue of their salary. As long as they work seriously and help to hasten the building, then we have to at least provide them with food. We can't make them work on an empty stomach.”
What a kind woman Lin Yuzhen was.
After leaving the factory for home, Lin Yuzhen was still worried. She made several calls to Mr Xu to make sure the men were all still working hard before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But how did Jiang Ning manage to persuade them?
All these men were gangsters, and were terrifying if they started to fight!
She wanted to ask Jiang Ning, but she could tell from his expression that everything was under control, so she suddenly didn't want to ask him anymore.
What was this fellow gleeful about.
By the time they reached home, it was dinnertime.
Su Mei had already prepared dinner long ago, and was just waiting for Lin Yuzhen and Jiang Ning to come home.
At the dining table, Jiang Ning's appetite was excellent as usual.
Lin Wen and Su Mei never really ate very much, but now she had to cook quite a bit everyday.
"Yuzhen, I heard something cropped up at the factory?" Lin Wen was quite worried.
He knew very well how kind and easily bullied his daughter was.
"It's all settled."
Lin Yuzhen put some vegetables into Lin Wen's bowl. "Dad, don't worry."
She turned to Jiang Ning, who was furiously wolfing down his food. She was glad that he had been around, and thought about whether to put some meat in his bowl as a reward.
"It's all thanks to Jiang Ning, right?"
Su Mei put the biggest pork rib into Jiang Ning's bowl before Lin Yuzhen could. "Eat more."
"Thanks Mum!"
Jiang Ning had a look of joy on his face.
"Who on earth is this person, making things difficult for you again and again?"
Lin Wen frowned. Jiang Ning was around, but surely they couldn't always trouble him.
Lin Yuzhen shook her head. She only knew
that those hooligans worked for Hei Hu in the illegal circles, but she didn't know who was giving them instructions.
"Dad, you know this person very well."
