Shanghai.
Today was a sunny day, and the sound of construction could be heard from the construction site. Lu Yaohua pushed the cement cart with all his might, and sweat rolled down his face. After he staggered a few steps, he fell on his butt. The small cart lost control and crashed into the other workers. A scene of chaos instantly erupted, and screams could be heard.
âLu Hua!!!â
A man in his early forties in a red hat ran over in exasperation.
He looked down at the protagonist of the incident who had yet to react and said through gritted teeth, âWhy is it you again? Do you want to work here or not?! I seriously suspect that you were sent by another family to cause trouble here! Because of you, do you know how long my work here has been extended? Iâm f*cking losing money every day! How am I going to earn money?!
The last time, you almost hit your workmate when you were moving bricks. Before that, you destroyed some machines worth tens of thousand yuan with cement. And before that, you fought with your workmate for no reason. And before that, it was also you causing trouble! I gave you so many chances. Do you want to f*cking bankrupt me?â
The head contractorâs mouth was dry from talking. He unscrewed a thermos cup and drank a few mouthfuls of tea before saying, âAnd youâre not diligent! You find excuses to take leave every other day. Those who donât know might think that youâre the team lead here! Youâre not a leader, but youâre a leader when it comes to getting sick! Youâ¦â
Before he could finish, Lu Yaohua, who had extremely high self-esteem, could not help but say, âI have a legitimate reason for taking leave. Canât you see that Iâm covered in injuries? Moreover, the dust here is so thick. I had a lung problem just a few days ago.â
This was not the most serious thing that happened to him. He had been working overtime, in good spirits or otherwise, over an extended period of time at the construction site. Just recently, he was almost killed by a machine operated by his colleagues on the top floor. If not for his vigilance, he would probably have died! He thought there shouldnât be a problem taking leave to soothe his wounded spirit.
Who knows the construction site can be so dangerous!
âOh, you have quite a lot of reasons. If I say one thing, you retort with 10 things! Canât you recognize your current situation? Iâm your f*cking leader now! Why are you putting on airs in front of me?! Since youâre my subordinate, no matter what you did before, you have to be submissive!â
The foreman said in an increasingly unhappy tone, âBesides, youâre so weak. Why did you come to work at a construction site? To torture me? If you have the ability, go and do brain work! Didnât you come to me because you couldnât do it? Itâs really a curse to meet you! Let me tell you! Iâm in charge here!
When I was recruiting, why would I have taken you in if it werenât for your pitiful state? I was the one who gave you a chance to survive, but what happened in the end? In the end, not only were you not grateful, you even acted like a boss all day! Why? Do you think that just because you have the same surname as Boss Lu, the two of you are relatives?â
Every word was heartbreaking!
One had to know that in the past, this head contractor belonged to a class of people that he would find dirty just by looking at them! Now he was being belittled by someone he had looked down on in the past. How could he accept this? He had once been glorious, and the person in front of him was only a construction site administrator at most.?What right does he have to say that?!
Lu Yaohua, who had lost his temper, stopped pretending to be pitiful. He stood up and retorted, âI suggest you donât anger me! Lu Ming and I are really father and son. Believe it or not, Iâll get you out of Shanghai! Itâs your fortune to be able to work here. Many people canât even dream of it! You actually treat me like this?â
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire construction site fell into a strange silence.
Immediately after, these people mocked him mercilessly!
âWhat kind of joke is this? Boss Lu is someone that ordinary people like us will never get to meet. Is there something wrong with this personâs brain? He actually said that heâs Boss Luâs father?! What nonsense! If heâs really that powerful, Lu Hua wonât be working at the construction site now. Instead, he will be in an office, enjoying the air conditioning and the admiration of everyone!â
âIsnât this equivalent to a beggar shamelessly saying that heâs related to a certain big shot?
âHe really thinks we are fools!â
The foreman laughed so hard that he couldnât straighten his back. He said, âYou just happen to have the same surname as Boss Lu, and youâre already so arrogant? I think you should go and have your brain checked when you have time. I think youâre definitely delusional! Am I begging you to come to work? Dream on!â
His gaze became sharp as he mocked, âThen can I beg you to leave my place now? Go and cause trouble at other construction sites. Otherwise, Iâll be dragged down by you sooner or later! Whoâs blind enough to treat you like a treasure? Letâs make a bet, Lu Hua! If you can make a name for yourself in this life, Iâll wash my hair standing upside down, okay?
Hahahaha! Do you think Iâm right?â
The other workers immediately echoed.
âThatâs right! Weâve been together for so long. If youâre really related to Boss Lu, why would you come and eat and live with us? Didnât they say that bosses have a certain aura? Why donât I see anything about you thatâs different from us?â
âIsnât there a difference? I can fight 10 of you with that weak body of yours! Youâre like a busybody all day. As soon as the contractor isnât around, youâre pointing fingers at our work. Youâre just a newcomer, yet you think you know more than us veterans? Where did you get your confidence?!â
âDo you think youâre number one in the world just because youâve acquired a little knowledge? This is a construction site, not an occasion for you to show off. You insist on telling us how to manage a company, but I donât understand a word of it! Forget it if thatâs the case. But are you glaring at me with disdain? If youâre really that powerful, why donât you start a company?!â
âHeâs just bragging to us because we canât read!â
â¦
It was obvious that he was not welcome here. They could not wait for him to get out of here!
When Lu Yaohua heard these words, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, âRemember what you said today! When I become rich in the future, I will definitely not let you off! I hope you wonât regret it today! Head contractor, I quit! Even if you beg me to come back in the future, I wonât come back!â
âYouâd better keep your word! Donât appear in front of me again!â
The contractor was unwilling to back down.
Lu Yaohua was so angry that he turned around and left. However, he did not walk far before he turned back and said, âThis is my resignation. Donât forget to pay me my salary for this month! Otherwise, Iâll sue you in court!â
