Chapter 16 Returning to China(1/2)
Newcomer?
What newcomer?
Listening to the fluent Mandarin and the meaning behind the words, and looking at the workers pushing carts and pulling stones around, Fang Shilong felt that something was wrong.
Subconsciously, he followed Zheng Zheng's words and looked over.
He is a middle-aged man in his fifties with gray hair.
He looks very plain and well-educated, with a pair of indifferent eyes, just like a worldly master.
It is none other than the former Secretary of Huangjiang District, Zhang Changrong.
Only people adapt to the environment, but the environment does not adapt to people.
Can't adapt?
Then the only option is to die.
Zhang Changrong is obviously a person who has adapted to the environment.
Of course, he had been dissatisfied, angry, and humiliated.
In the country, his power is overwhelming. Wherever he goes, he is admired by stars and responds to his call.
I don't want to end up like this.
Not only was he bullied, all the money he had saved was wiped out, and even his only son was abandoned. The old Zhang family was completely wiped out.
At one point, Zhang Changrong wanted to kill someone to vent his anger.
When I first arrived here, I couldn't get rid of the humiliation and anger in my heart.
The dignified Secretary of Huangjiang District actually asked himself to work as a miner, and he would never do it even if he died.
But time is the cure for any heart disease.
I was hungry for several meals.
Zhang Changrong got a piece of bread and suddenly discovered that life is actually about eating, and happiness is so simple.
In his free days, Zhang Changrong began to reflect on the things he had done.
Suddenly I understood the relationship between home and country.
He also suddenly understood that it was not him who had the ability, but the country that gave him a place to display his ability.
It is not how talented he is, but the tens of millions of people who have given him the soil to display his talents.
No one is born a protagonist.
The tide of the times pushes people to progress, and he is recognized by the times only because of his past ideals.
And he lost his country and betrayed his faith, which is why he ended up like this.
What made you abandon your former ideals and ambitions?
Zhang Changrong thought about this problem for countless days and nights. When he figured it out, he realized how wrong he was.
So, in the days that followed, Zhang Changrong worked hard. Some twenty-year-old black employees and five people could not complete the output, but he was able to complete it with a frail body of fifty-six years old.
Perhaps because of a thorough thinking and working every day, although Zhang Changrong's hair has not turned white and he has lost a lot of weight, his complexion is getting better and better, and his energy is getting stronger and stronger.
Gradually, he completely understood that sentence - capital is a poison that corrodes people's hearts.
And because he gave up drugs and the greed in his heart, he regained his former spirit.
After all, he was a big shot who once managed a party.
Zheng Zheng originally wanted Zhang Changrong to atone for his sins and fend for himself here, but he noticed his change of mentality and assigned him a management position with the idea of recycling waste.
Because most of the workers were illiterate, and the local workers were stupid and lazy, Zhang Changrong had always had bad intentions in the past, so he was the perfect one to deal with these workers.
Harmful!
I didn't expect it to be really useful.
In the past, a black man could not complete the work. Since Zhang Changrong carried out the reform of the wage system and adopted daily wage settlement, these workers who were absent from work when they had nothing to do were rarely absent from work.
Even when I go to work, I won’t be as lazy as before.
The reason is quite simple.
Former workers were paid weekly.
These local workers will take their money and go to the city to spend money. They will not come back to work until they spend all their money.
Since the end of the day, these guys still use their money to spend money. Then Zheng Zheng opened a brothel and bar here, cleaning the pockets of these workers every day, and then these guys went to work obediently.
After working for so long, I found that Zhang Changrong seemed to be completely in love with the life here and didn't want to run away at all.
Zheng Zheng also gave him greater authority and was responsible for recruiting new workers.
run?
Only a fool would run away.
I have been here for a long time and have no contact with the outside world. In fact, Zhang Changrong really likes it here.
The air is fresh and the climate is suitable.
When I have nothing to do, I go out hunting and get a change of taste. I wouldn’t change it even for a god.
There are still hundreds of workers who can be directed, and only fools will run away.
Following Zheng Zheng's greeting, Zhang Changrong glanced at Fang Shilong with a smile, and with a sharp look, "Good guy, why is it him?"
However, after all, it is no longer the mentality it once was.
Zhang Changrong pulled Fang Shilong and said: "Brother, I don't ask why you come here. Since you are here, treat this place as your home and work hard. It is much more comfortable here than the outside world. When the sun sets, the sun sets.
And rest assured, you will soon fall in love with this place."
With that said, Zhang Changrong asked someone to bring Fang Shilong the tools used by workers, and was about to take him to the construction site to work.
Everyone in Fang Shilong was dumbfounded.
Watching Zheng Zheng go away, he couldn't help shouting: "You can't violate your credibility. I gave you one million dollars, and you can't do this."
Zheng Zheng turned around and said calmly: "In this world, even Jesus can't save you. You'd better work hard here."
It was like a bolt of lightning struck Fang Shilong's head, and his whole head was buzzing.
Why, it’s this sentence again!
For three consecutive days, Fang Shilong did not drink any water, eat or drink.
He couldn't accept it at all, being brought here to mine.
who is he?
A superstar.
How much money is waiting for him to earn, and how many female fans are waiting for him to open the door.
There is a lot of wealth and glory waiting for him, how can he stay in such a ghost place.
Late at night.
Fang Shilong stared blankly at the bright moon in the sky, his lips were dry and his eyes were blank.
At this time, Zhang Changrong walked in holding a roasted rabbit leg.
A scent came.
Fragrant and fragrant.
Fang Shilong didn't want to look at the rabbit leg, but his eyes couldn't control it at all, and his throat couldn't help but squirm.
Zhang Changrong said with a kind smile on his face: "You must be hungry."
Fang Shilong said nothing and looked at Zhang Changrong angrily. He wanted to open the legs of the rabbit that was handed over to him, but he couldn't do it.
Zhang Kaili, who followed Zhang Changrong in, said sarcastically: "Don't show off your celebrity airs here. Do you know who my father is? My father is the secretary of Huangjiang District. What do you have to show off?"
Fang Shilong's eyes moved.
Secretary of Huangjiang District, he still knows how big it is.
Listening to Zhang Kaili's tone again, he asked doubtfully: "Then how did you get here?"
Zhang Changrong smiled and said: "Eat first, and we will chat slowly later."
Fang Shilong felt the same hatred for the enemy, and he was so hungry that he didn't care about it anymore. He hugged the rabbit legs and started to eat so much that his mouth was full of oil.
Fearing that he would choke to death, Zhang Changrong handed him a sip of water and said, "You are much luckier than me. At that time, I had no meat to eat."
a long time.
Fang Shilong ate the rabbit legs and listened to the father and son Zhang Changrong and Zhang Kaili talking about the past.
After learning about their past lives and how they were teased by Shen Jiannan, they finally realized that Zhang Kaili's voice was a bit sharp.
Can you tolerate being crippled?
