Chapter 30 Crisis
After finishing the notes, Qin Xiaoyu took a taxi and left Ding Daqiao first.

Compared with himself, an enthusiastic citizen who happened to pass by, Ding Daqiao's problems were much more troublesome. Not only did he have to explain his grievances with the masked men, but he also had to explain clearly the source of the butcher's knife in his hand.

This Ding Daqiao is dishonest.

The car drove to the Wumart shopping mall, which was about a few hundred meters away from the community. Qin Xiaoyu asked the driver to stop the car by the side of the road. At the entrance of the Wumart shopping mall, he saw a very familiar figure.

"Zhao Youmin!" Coming from across the road, Qin Xiaoyu called out tentatively. After seeing the bald head in front of him turn around, he said with certainty, "It's really you."

It's great to meet acquaintances at this time.

"Brother Yu," Zhao Youmin was busy unloading the goods on the car, turned around and saw Qin Xiaoyu, with a happy expression on his face, "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

"No, on Saturday, come out for a walk." Qin Xiaoyu didn't expect that Zhao Youmin would come to work as a stevedore in his spare time. If his memory serves him correctly, he should be a software engineer, and his salary this month must be quite a lot.

Could it be that like Ding Daqiao, software engineering is just his hobby, but his real identity is to deliver goods to shopping malls?
Thinking of Ding Daqiao talking about the future prospects of pig farming with the police uncle in the car, Qin Xiaoyu felt that this guess was very unreliable.

Zhao Youmin seems to be more honest than Ding Daqiao, at least he won't run the train with his mouth full.

"Wait for me, I'll be done soon." Zhao Youmin said to Qin Xiaoyu with a smile when delivering the goods on the ground to the mall.

He can't stop here forever, because after a long time, he is easy to be scolded by the leader.

"No hurry, I'll wait for you."

More than ten minutes later, a fat man with a dark face and a general belly came out of the mall without saying a word, and waved to the people who had just moved the goods to come over. Judging from this action, it should be that the work is over and the salary needs to be settled up.

As soon as he saw that the fat man with a black face was about to send out money, Qin Xiaoyu immediately surrounded him curiously. He had always heard that there was such a job as daily settlement before, but he had never seen it with his own eyes in reality.

"Are you also here to help unload the goods?" Seeing Qin Xiaoyu approaching, the black-faced fat man looked up at Qin Xiaoyu. Where did this person come from? Why didn't he have any impression when he came here just now.

"Brother Wang, this is my friend." Upon hearing the fat man's question, Zhao Youmin hurriedly said, not because he was afraid that the fat man would send the wrong money, but mainly because he would be counting on him for a part-time job in the future.

"Oh." After handing a 20 yuan note to Zhao Youmin, the fat man with a black face asked again, "I have a picking job later, do you want to go together?"

"No, my friend is waiting for me," Zhao Youmin said with a cheerful smile after receiving the banknotes handed over by the fat man with a black face, "Next time, I will definitely go next time, thank you Brother Wang."

"That's fine, let's go first." After putting the rest of the banknotes into his trouser pockets, the fat man with a black face led the others away, without looking at Zhao Youmin from the beginning to the end.

"Brother Wang, let's go, let's get in touch in the group."

"This brother Wang is pretty cool." Seeing the black-faced fat man driving away with a group of people, Qin Xiaoyu said from the side, even though he is a lead worker, there is no need to be so superior, this disdainful tone is like how much others owe him Like ten million.

"Brother Wang has such a temper, he talks to everyone like this," Zhao Youmin seemed to have gotten used to it for a long time, raised the 20 yuan note in his hand, and said happily to Qin Xiaoyu, "What do you want to eat? I invite you!"

"Let me do it." Looking at the crumpled 20 yuan in Zhao Youmin's hand, Qin Xiaoyu couldn't bear it.

In a grilled fish shop next to Wumart, Qin Xiaoyu and Zhao Youmin were sitting face to face. This Saturday was really not peaceful. Attending a departmental party could cause so many things.

"Do you usually make this after get off work?" Qin Xiaoyu's stomach was still not satisfied after taking a bite of the cold dish that was delivered first from the store. After spending so long at the Chengnan Night Market, he was already hungry.

"How can it be? I'm usually busy working overtime. I only have time to do it on Saturdays and Sundays." Touching his bald head, Zhao Youmin smiled embarrassedly. It's hard to get my turn."

"Your salary is quite high, right? Why do you do this?" Qin Xiaoyu didn't mean to look down on the stevedores, but in his opinion, Zhao Youmin had absolutely no reason to do this.

"It's the weekend, I'm just idle." After taking a sip of the beer on the table, Zhao Youmin said with a wry smile, "Recently, the industry is not doing very well. Our company has already dismissed several colleagues who are about my age. One guess is my turn, I'm not too young, I wonder if I can try to do something else, it's better than staying on a tree and worrying about it."

"It's good to think like this." Thinking of the scene where Zhao Youmin was carrying goods in and out, Qin Xiaoyu actually understood his mood when he said these words.

In addition to helplessness, it is confusion.

Life is not about playing games. It doesn’t mean that you can level up smoothly after a few years of experience points. Most people have been busy all their lives, but in fact, they just stay at the level of barely surviving. It is not easy to reach the so-called pinnacle of life.

Perhaps because he felt that what he said was a bit disruptive to the atmosphere, after a pause, Zhao Youmin continued to smile and said, "Don't tell me, since I started a part-time job, I found that I have changed a lot. It's obviously better than before, and now I'm sitting there working overtime, and I'm not as tired as before."

……

Qin Xiaoyu didn't know what to say.

It's a good thing, but it sounds awkward.

"Dude borrow a piece of paper."

While chatting with Zhao Youmin without saying a word, Qin Xiaoyu felt that someone had gently patted his shoulder twice. When he looked back, he saw a thin arm stretched out from the next table. After a paper towel was handed over, when I looked up, I found that something was wrong. The paper bag on the next table was full, and there was no need to borrow it from my own table. What's even more strange was that the two tables were so close to each other. He couldn't even see clearly the face of the person who borrowed the paper. He was clearly less than 2 meters away from them.

Dazzled?After staring at the next table for a few seconds, Qin Xiaoyu withdrew his gaze again. He was sure that the paper borrower at the next table had been looking at him, but he couldn't see back clearly.

"Eat quickly, go back early after eating." Qin Xiaoyu said to Zhao Youmin after clearing away the fish pieces in front of him, since he had this assistance system, he encountered more and more strange things, why can't he hide if he can't afford it?

"Why run so fast, didn't you say you want to buy my pork?"

As soon as the bowls and chopsticks were put down, the door of the grilled fish shop opened, and the new customer came in with a loud voice. After scanning the shop for a week, he walked over to Qin Xiaoyu directly.

Looking at the height of the visitor, who was about 1.8 meters tall, Qin Xiaoyu felt that things were going to be difficult.

"Ding Daqiao! How did you find me here?"
