Chapter 242
The fat man scratched his head and said in confusion:
"I also found something wrong. We have only been here for three months and don't understand many situations. I heard from a worker from a construction team next door that this backup road was built four or five years ago. Logically, according to the normal work progress, this road should have been built long ago, but in fact, it has not even completed half of the progress."
"Think about it, it has been several years. Under normal circumstances, how can it still be so procrastinating? We work hard every day, but the project doesn't see any improvement."
"Logically speaking, the first and second teams of the forestry construction team are the main construction forces of this project. Many professional things need to be led by these two teams. Once they leave, what we are doing now are some The most basic road leveling work, probably because of this, so we have to smash stones every day, and the progress of the project is getting slower and slower. "
"To be honest, I can't figure out why the personnel of Team 1 and Team 2 were transferred, but I heard that today the construction team of Engineer Lin will transfer a group of new people to join, but I didn't pay attention, and I don't know if they have come."
The thinner worker said:
"They are here, I saw Engineer Lin bring a group of people this morning, but there are only seven or eight people in total, and they are all young people, and they don't seem to have much experience."
"There are only a few people, and they are all young boys. It is said that they are college students majoring in civil engineering. Most of them wear glasses. They look weak. Don't let us take care of them later."
Speaking of this, the thinner worker The man speculated again:
"Brother Chen, do you think there is such a possibility that the project we are currently building for Guangjue Temple is funded by the government. The reason why the project is not progressing well is because the government owes the big boss money. Because the funds are not in place, our big boss deliberately delays the deadline?"
"Think about it, if the government does not pay, the big boss will definitely not want to do a business that loses money, so he deliberately delays it to make the government anxious so that he can make up the money."
The fat man thought about it for a while, but still shook his head:
"I don't think it's like this. It's a very simple reason. If this project continues to be delayed, it will be a loss for Guangjue Temple, the government, and even our big boss. Even if the government has invested, it is now in arrears. Our big boss There is no need to have so many people on the mountain banging stones. Logically, if the government really owes wages, the most normal thing to do is to stop work, so that the boss can save a lot of expenses. "
"Our boss has been in this industry for many years. How can he not know the interests involved? If the work is stopped, although the expenses can be temporarily saved, the reputation will be ruined. Who will dare to ask him to work in the future? And Guangjue Temple will not agree. They are waiting for the road to be repaired. "
The thinner worker scratched his head and thought for a while:
"Yes, the normal thing to do is to stop work, but now not only has it not stopped, but also recruited some more people. What they do every day is not related to road construction. I really don’t know what these people are doing. Is it that our boss is deliberately delaying the progress of the project in order to earn more money from the government? "
"What kind of work do you do every day? We are here to build roads, not to smash stones. The longer this project is delayed, the higher the cost. Doesn’t the boss feel distressed? ”
The fat man took the last puff of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out, and said with emotion:
"We can't figure out these things. There are too many tricks above, but I always feel that our project is a little abnormal, but who cares, no matter how abnormal it is, it has nothing to do with ordinary workers like us, as long as they pay the bill on time. ”
The thinner worker nodded, and before he finished smoking the cigarette, he continued to take a puff and said:
"By the way, Brother Chen, did you hear about something today? A reporter secretly came to our construction site to spy, and I heard that he went down the tunnel."
The fat man was slightly stunned, with a hint of surprise on his face:
"Is this true?"
The thinner worker said:
"I also heard from several workers in the second section at lunch, but it shouldn't be false. This project feels problematic to begin with, and now reporters have come in for an undercover investigation. I have a worry. I'm worried that our big boss may explode. To be honest, I'm really worried that we won't get our final wages. "
The fat man looked melancholy, frowned and asked:
"Was the reporter caught later?"
The thinner worker shook his head and said:
"I don't know about that. No one knows what happened later. After all, the tunnel is strictly prohibited from entering and leaving. It is said that there are people inside recently.The blasting operation is still in progress. If the reporter is caught, it would be fine. At most, he can leave the content he filmed and go back. But now he has plunged into the tunnel. Even if he is not caught, he may encounter misfortune. "
"I hope nothing happens to the reporter, and I hope the project can go smoothly, so that we can finish it early and get the money to go home early."
The fat man said helplessly: "Oh, we can't control these things, but what you just said about the big boss might go bankrupt has reminded me that we have to discuss with the workers tonight and go to the financial accountant to report more living expenses to reduce the losses as much as possible."
"We work hard on this construction site. If we can't even get the money in the end, it will be a big loss. ”
Many construction sites will not pay wages until the project is completed, usually at least once every six months or a year. This is a common rule on almost all construction sites. During this period, workers' income is obtained by reporting living expenses. The project management will give a certain amount of living expenses according to the workers' requirements. The fat man also knows that he will definitely not get wages, so he can make a fuss about living expenses.
The thinner workers nodded cautiously: "Yes, we must get the money, otherwise these days will be in vain. "
The fat man and the thinner worker chatted for a few more words, and then the two of them went out from the other side of the exit.
When Zhang Xing heard this, his heart tightened inexplicably, because the reporter they were talking about reminded Zhang Xing of his team leader Geng Jianhui.
Zhang Xing frowned tightly, and his worries became more and more serious. He recalled the chat with Master Boye, and only heard the other party mention that a tourist took pictures at the entrance of the restricted area of the back mountain and was later hit by a stone. And that was only at the entrance of the restricted area of the back mountain, and had not yet entered the back mountain area. Apart from this, there was no other related situation.
At this juncture, a reporter suddenly broke into the back mountain. From the time point and the degree of strict guarding of the back mountain, Geng Jianhui met these two points .
Moreover, Zhang Xing was able to investigate that there was something wrong with the back mountain, and Geng Jianhui might have also investigated it, so it was very likely that he broke into the back mountain disguised as a reporter.
After deducing this, Zhang Xing suddenly became a little anxious. According to what the thin worker said just now, the team leader Geng Jianhui is very likely to have entered the underground tunnel, so Zhang Xing also had to find a way to enter the underground tunnel as soon as possible to find him.
But the problem is that this road construction site covers a large area. At a glance, it is impossible to see where the tunnel entrance is. If you want to find the entrance, you must ask someone familiar with the situation.
Zhang Xing thought for a moment, and the conversation between the fat man and the thin man just now emerged in his mind, and a brilliant idea suddenly came to his mind. Just a few minutes later, Zhang Xing came out of the bushes, but he deliberately rolled on the ground for a few times, making his clothes covered with dust and looking dirty.
Then, he picked up a broken construction hat in the corner and put it on his head.
That's right, Zhang Xing planned to disguise himself as a worker at the construction site and blend into the construction team in order to find out more information. In this way, he can not only better integrate into the environment, but also avoid attracting unnecessary attention.
And the most direct way to blend into the construction team is...
A few minutes later, Zhang Xing appeared at the location of the construction warning sign again, untied his belt, made a peeing gesture, and shouted comfortably.
Because Zhang Xing was particularly conspicuous at this time, he was soon discovered. Then a middle-aged bearded man wearing a construction hat on the construction site not far away shouted to Zhang Xing angrily:
"Hey, that man, what are you doing there? "
Zhang Xing was slightly stunned, and hurriedly put on his pants and ran towards the bearded man, with a panic on his face.
After he came to the bearded man, the bearded man looked up and down at Zhang Xing with an angry look on his face, and scolded: "Which team are you from? Didn't you see the warning sign? That location is a dangerous area, and it has been clearly prohibited for a long time. Do you have no ears?"
The bearded man with a big belly had anger in his eyes and a voice as loud as thunder. His domineering look made Zhang Xing instantly conclude that he should be the construction site supervisor that the thin man and the fat man had just talked about, that is, the big boss's brother-in-law.
Zhang Xing hurriedly pretended to be panicked and explained anxiously: "Supervisor, I'm really sorry, I... I was in a hurry to pee just now, and I looked for several places, but I couldn't find a suitable place to pee, so I accidentally..."
Zhang Xing's face was full of panic, and his voice was full of panic.trembling, as if he was really frightened by the aura of the supervisor in front of him.
The bearded man glared at Zhang Xing angrily and snorted: "Damn, there is no toilet on the construction site. Why do you have to go there to pee?"
The bearded man's voice became even more angry, and he waved his arms, as if he wanted to teach Zhang Xing a lesson.
Zhang Xing continued to explain in panic and nervousness: "Supervisor, I... I just came today, and I am not very familiar with our construction site. I heard that the toilet is in this direction, but I couldn't find it after searching for a while, so I went to that place later. I didn't know that place was a restricted area, but... I will never do it again next time."
Zhang Xing's forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes were full of pleading, hoping to get the supervisor's understanding.
Seeing that Zhang Xing had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, the anger on the face of the bearded supervisor also subsided a little, and he looked at Zhang Xing from left to right: "Which section are you from?"
The tone of the bearded supervisor was slightly relieved, but still a little severe.
Zhang Xing hurriedly said: "I am from the first division, following the construction team of Engineer Lin, and I am a newcomer who just came here today."
When he heard about the people from the construction team of Engineer Lin, the expression on the face of the bearded supervisor changed subtly, and he was no longer as arrogant as before.
Zhang Xing had heard the fat man and the thin man talk before, and the person that this supervisor feared the most on the entire construction site was Engineer Lin. It is estimated that Engineer Lin is the core figure of the entire construction team and is highly valued by the big boss, so even if he is the supervisor of the big boss's brother-in-law, he has to give Engineer Lin some face.
"Oh, so you are the newcomer to the construction team of Engineer Lin today. I heard that most of you newcomers are college graduates from the construction industry. I was planning to meet with you today to discuss the next work schedule, but I was too busy today and didn't have time for a while."
The attitude of the bearded supervisor really improved a lot, and his tone became a little calmer.
Zhang Xing continued to maintain a humble attitude and said: "Supervisor, you are a busy person. It is completely understandable that you can't spare time to manage such a large construction site by yourself. When Engineer Lin recruited us, he had already instructed us on the details. Our team is now preparing to complete the construction of the tunnel entrance."
Zhang Xing had a flattering smile on his face, but he was thinking about how to get more useful information from the supervisor.
The bearded supervisor was slightly startled, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face. He said softly:
"Oh? Engineer Lin asked you to come here to improve the tunnel entrance. There was a landslide at the entrance of the tunnel before, and it has not been properly handled. It really needs to be improved. I have actually thought about this a long time ago, and I mentioned it to Engineer Lin before, but Engineer Lin was busy at the time, so this matter was delayed."
Although Zhang Xing was a little confused, he decided to test the other party's attitude first, so he continued with a smile:
"The supervisor is right! In fact, this time Engineer Lin asked me We came here to repair the tunnel entrance because you reminded him last time. At that time, Engineer Lin praised you in front of us, saying that you are meticulous and thoughtful, and also told us to cooperate with you to make this work perfect. So, now when I see you, I feel very kind, haha..."
When the bearded supervisor heard this, a trace of imperceptible joy suddenly appeared on his originally calm face. He raised his mouth slightly, his eyes flashed with expectation, and asked softly:
"Oh, did your Engineer Lin really say in front of you that I am meticulous?"
