The Great Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 244 The Price of Talking without Recklessness

Li Wenqiang didn't expect that his sudden idea would actually lead to a project. He still trusted Li Huaide's character. As long as he gave him benefits, he would definitely give back.

Thinking of the thirty people under his command who were all working on building his own yard, Li Wenqiang suddenly felt worried. The work had just begun, and it would be bad to call them away again, right?

Suddenly I remembered that I gave three job positions to Lao Jiu a few days ago. Why is there no movement after such a long time? Does he look down on them?

Since he had nothing to do anyway, Li Wenqiang decided to go over and take a look to see if there was any good stuff in the scrap yard's warehouse.

When they arrived at the scrap yard, Lao Jiu, who was like an old salted fish, heard the sound of Li Wenqiang's motorcycle and sat up from the stool with a bang. He looked at him with an angry look.

Li Wenqiang was very surprised and asked curiously.

"What's wrong with you? Have I offended you in any way? Why are you so angry?"

"Humph, Xiao Qiang, didn't you ask me to find three people last time? I found them, but your brother-in-law has a bad temper. I asked him to ask you to come and pick someone up, but you refused and just left me here. What do you think of this? How can I explain this to my friends?"

Lao Jiu said angrily.

"Really? There's this matter? Don't worry, I'll talk to him later."

Li Wenqiang's eyes flashed with coldness. This old man was polite to him, but he really thought he was the boss. He kept calling him Xiaoqiang. Can you call him Xiaoqiang? His original intention to ask him for help was immediately extinguished.

No matter what happened between him and Liu Ergou, he is still his brother-in-law. He dares to throw a tantrum when asking for help from him. Does he really think he owes him something?

"Since you're here, wait a moment. I'll go get someone over. It will only take half an hour at most."

As Lao Jiu was about to walk out, Li Wenqiang stopped him.

"No hurry, I'll go to the warehouse first to see if Director Liu is up there?"

"What's so good about a pile of scrap metal in the warehouse? Your lover is on top of it!"

Lao Jiu grinned and said, not caring at all about Li Wenqiang standing beside him.

"It's okay, I'll just take a look, you go and do your work first!"

Li Wenqiang walked into the warehouse with a smile, walked to the place where the copper coins were stored, and without even looking at them, he waved his hand, took all the things away, turned around and shouted outside.

"Laojiu, why are there no copper coins in the warehouse? I was thinking of finding a few to play with!"

"How is that possible? Isn't it inside?"

Lao Jiu thought he hadn't seen it, so he walked over slowly. When he walked into the warehouse, he saw that more than 200 kilograms of copper coins were missing. His face suddenly changed and he shouted loudly.

"Where is the copper here? It was clearly here yesterday, how come it's gone?"

After saying that, he became extremely anxious and started searching everywhere.

Seeing this, Li Wenqiang said slowly.

"Maybe he was taken away? Go look for him first, I'll go ask Director Liu for you!"

After saying that, he turned and left with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Some people just don't know who they are, and they still think they were rag collectors in the past! They are so careless when they talk, and they dare to say anything.

He arrived at the stationmaster's office with familiarity. As expected, Liu Li was slacking off again, reading a newspaper with great interest. When she saw him coming, she was extremely excited and immediately put down the newspaper and rushed over to him.

"Why are you here? Did you miss me?"

After saying that, he kissed me.

Li Wenqiang pushed her away and slapped her hard on the butt.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

Liu Li exclaimed, then looked at him seductively.

Li Wenqiang thought to himself, it’s bad, there’s going to be another fierce battle, forget about her masochistic nature.

"Stop messing around, I have something to talk to you about!"

He pinched her hard, and Liu Li's mind was full of bitterness and she wanted to eat!

"What is it?"

"That old man at the door, move him away."

Li Wenqiang said casually.

"Why? Isn't he familiar with you?"

Liu Li asked with some surprise.

"No reason. This old guy knows too much and has a big mouth. If he talks nonsense, it will cause trouble. Something was lost in the warehouse just now. You can use this opportunity to transfer him away and ask my cheap brother-in-law to come over to watch the door."

After saying that, Li Wenqiang hugged her in his arms and took a deep breath. The strong body fragrance made him feel very happy.

"Lost something? No, I'll go check it out!"

After hearing this, Liu Li no longer cared about being flirty. She pulled his naughty hand away, straightened her clothes and walked out. Li Wenqiang smiled and followed her.

"What's going on? Why is the copper here gone?"

If Liu Li didn't have a fever, her words would still be very intimidating. With her expressionless, cold, and unapproachable serious look, no one could imagine how hot she was underneath her cold body.

"I, I don't know either. He was here yesterday. I just opened the door this morning, how come he disappeared?"

Lao Jiu's face turned pale with anxiety. So many copper coins were not cheap. Even if calculated at the lowest price, it would cost two or three hundred yuan, enough for his annual salary.

"Why don't we call the police? Let them come over and take a look later."

Liu Li said coldly that the disappearance of several hundred kilograms of copper was not a small amount, and this matter must have a result.

"Yes, call the police. I'll go to the police station right away."

After saying this, Lao Jiu prepared to run out. His mind was now filled with getting the things back, and he had no time to think about anything else.

Before he could take two steps, Li Wenqiang pulled him back.

"Wait, even if we call the police, we won't be able to get it back, right? And if we call the police, this matter will definitely be reported to the higher-ups. Lao Jiu, you've lost so many things, and you might get punished severely or even fired. You better think this over carefully!"

Li Wenqiang reminded him lightly.

"What should we do?"

Lao Jiu patted his thigh, feeling worried and regretful.

"Well, I'll give you an idea. Look at how much copper is missing, and then you can buy it and make up for it, right?"

Li Wenqiang said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll make up for it, but I only have a little over a hundred dollars now, and it won't be enough even if I give it all!"

Lao Jiu has been working at the scrap yard for several years. This is the first time he has encountered such a thing and he really doesn't know how to deal with it.

"We are colleagues, and we have a pretty good relationship. So, give me as much as you can, and I'll cover the rest for you. If you have money in the future, you can pay me back. If you don't have money, forget it, okay?"

Li Wenqiang "kindly" gave him an idea.

Lao Jiu felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw and was so moved that he burst into tears.

"Thank you, thank you so much. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back as soon as I get my salary in the future."

"It's okay, go home and get the money first! We are all brothers, we can't just watch you get into trouble and not help you! Go!"

After hearing what was said, Lao Jiu immediately went home with a grateful look on his face, without any doubt at all.

He had no idea that Liu Li was the webmaster here. Except for the first sentence, it was Li Wenqiang who spoke from beginning to end, as if it was natural. This made Li Wenqiang even more determined to get rid of him.

He turned and said to Liu Li.

"Research it later and throw him as far away as possible! Then settle the account in the warehouse. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

Li Wenqiang was about to run away after saying this, but was caught by Liu Li in a few seconds.

"You're just going to leave like this? Aren't you going to do anything?"

After saying that, she looked at him aggrievedly.

"You are such an annoying little goblin. Never mind. I will reward you once."

After saying this, Li Wenqiang pulled her directly into the office. This time they had to make a quick decision, as Lao Jiu was nearby and might come back at any time.
