"Brother Fang, don't be nervous. I'm just asking casually. If it doesn't work, forget it. It doesn't matter. Let's do something else..."

Xu Wenhu was always good at observing people's words and expressions. When he noticed that Fang Zhengye's expression was not right, he immediately changed his words and said that he was just asking casually and told Fang Zhengye not to take it too seriously.

However, Fang Zhengye stopped Xu Wenhu. He looked at Xu Wenhu with a serious face and spoke seriously.

"Huzi, you have to remember your current identity. You are no longer the bad guy you were before. You are now a closed-off worker, so you have to abide by the rules here."

Fang Zhengye knew that when Xu Wenhu was a moneylender before, he could make a lot of money by flipping things around. But similarly, the more money you make, the greater the risk. If you don't keep it all, you will be caught for speculating.

"Now you work as a worker in a closed factory and you get a fixed salary every month. As long as you work hard, improve your skills, and then get a professional title, your salary will be even more in the future."

After hearing what Fang Zhengye said, Xu Wenhu lowered his head, with an unnatural expression on his face. However, Fang Zhengye did not shut up because of the change in Xu Wenhu's expression, but continued to speak.

"You see, the black market in the west of the city was so big back then. Everyone thought that the black market would always exist. But you see, such a big black market failed at any time. Now the country is merciful outside the law and does not cause trouble for you gangsters. It just arrests you."

There are just a few culprits, if they start attacking you guys, do you think you can escape?"

At that time, the reason why the black market in Chengxi was able to operate was not only because of the protective umbrella of Zhao Mingqin, but also partly because the current policy on speculation is relatively vague, and the standards for punishment have not been completely determined.

Only people like them can take risks and make a lot of money by reselling things.

Because of the shortage of supplies in the market, many people, even if they have money, cannot buy what they want because they don’t have tickets. This also promotes the existence of fraud. Although the people above say they want to crack down on speculation, most of them still turn a blind eye.

One-eye, in fact, the control is not too strict, but this does not mean that speculation is legal.

After the criminal gang headed by Zhao Mingqin was completely overthrown this time, the superiors obviously paid much more attention to speculation than before. If Xu Wenhu went inside, it would not do him any good.wWW.ΧìǔΜЬ.CǒΜ

Who doesn't have wet shoes when he often walks by the river? If he is caught once, he will be ruined.

"Brother Fang, I'm just asking casually. I don't mean anything else. Look, you're still here and online. It's really... you're really interesting."

Xu Wenhu said awkwardly. He subconsciously scratched his head and looked around, not daring to meet Fang Zhengye.

Although Xu Wenhu has now joined the labor force and got a formal job that others can only dream of, it is undeniable that the salary of this job is much lower than that of the job he did before.

Although it was harder and more dangerous when he was working as a banker, he could probably make around a hundred yuan every month. But now that he works so hard every month, his salary is only thirty dollars.

A job like Xu Wenhu's requires seniority. He has to work hard to get through it slowly. It is impossible for a worker who has just joined the industry to get the salary of an experienced technician. It is extremely normal for him to have a gap.

But even if there is still a gap, Fang Zhengye still feels that since he has already done a regular job, and this job is relatively more stable and more respectable, others will have to look up to him if they know that he is a regular employee of the factory.

There are gains and losses, and he cannot take all the benefits.

As soon as Xu Wenhu opened his mouth and mentioned the watermelons in the sand, and also mentioned that he wanted to get workers to sell them, Fang Zhengye knew what Xu Wenhu was thinking.

This time he ran to the village, either because he happened to mention the sandy watermelon, or maybe this was the business he had negotiated before, and now he was just trying to find out more about it, and wanted to see if he could bring this to fruition.

Everything was done.

After knowing what Xu Wenhu wanted to do, when he looked at the bucket of eel on the other side, Fang Zheng felt that the thing had some utilitarian value. He sighed and turned to look at Xu Wenhu, who was standing there uneasily.

"Did you send me this bucket of eels because you remembered the friendship between us, or because you wanted to use the eels to clear your joints?"

As soon as he said this, Xu Wenhu's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly defended himself.

"Brother Fang, you misunderstood. I really don't have any other ideas. I just asked casually. If you don't agree, forget it. I just think the watermelons in their village are quite good. It's not easy to buy such good things. Me too.

I want to get some benefits for the workers in our factory..."

Under Fang Zhengye's gaze, Xu Wenhu's voice became quieter and quieter. After a long time, he finally couldn't bear the pressure and confessed in a low voice.

"Brother Fang, please stop looking at me like that. Let me tell you the truth. In fact, my friend and I are quite familiar with each other. Did he help pull the strings for the things I sold before? I owe him a favor.

…”

The watermelons in their village are collectively grown and collectively owned by the village. Now that the watermelons are about to ripen, sales have become a problem. They want to sell them at a higher price. It is best if someone can sell them to everyone at once.

If you buy it, you can save a lot of trouble.

Xu Wenhu felt that the wages of the workers here were quite high, and the workers working in the factories had more money and were willing to buy things. Those watermelons are a good thing, whether they are eaten by themselves or made into sauce and stored for the winter.

, those are all very good things.

"I didn't promise them outright, I just said I would help them take a look. Brother Fang, believe me, I really don't have those messy thoughts..."

Seeing that the other party was so anxious that he was speaking incoherently, Fang Zhengye let out a long sigh, the expression on his face changed, and he continued.

"Anyway, don't blame me for not warning you. The current trend is not right. You'd better curb your habits and stop being contaminated by these things. If you really want to return the favor, help them, and you are sure that it is a village collective seed.

For the watermelons that come out, you can ask the village chief of their village to come over and talk to the canteen to see if they can be sold in the factory."

If this was the case, Xu Wenhu would definitely not be able to act as a middleman to earn the price difference. He did have such an idea at first, but when Fang Zhengye said this, Xu Wenhu immediately became honest and stopped mentioning the matter.

The two had known each other for a long time, and Fang Zhengye did not go around too much with Xu Wenhu. He was afraid that this man would do dangerous things again for money, so he mentioned the matter of former secretary Zhao Mingqin.

"You have spent a lot of time outside, and you probably have your own information channels. Apart from other things, why did the black market in the west of the city close down? I think you should also know that after something like this happens, there will definitely be arrests in this area.

It's very strict. If you want to continue to toss like this, then I don't care about you, but you can think about the consequences for yourself."

Considering the past relationship, Fang Zhengye still has to explain the seriousness of the matter to Xu Wenhu. As for what choice he will make in the future, it has nothing to do with Fang Zhengye. He has already reminded him that if Xu Wenhu continues

If he is confused, then he has no other choice.

"Brother Fang, I understand. I'm not that kind of confused person. I know very well what I should and shouldn't do. Don't worry, I will never do such a thing again in the future."

It's pretty good that he was able to survive the shutdown and become a serious worker. Although the salary is not as much as what he earned by working back and forth before, it is better than the stable job. As long as he works hard, he doesn't have to worry about anything going wrong.

If he loses this job, he will be sorry for Fang Zhengye and himself.

Seeing the guilty look on Xu Wenhu's face, as if he had deeply realized his mistake, Fang Zhengye also knew a little bit about his character, so he stopped talking about some things. Now that everything had been explained clearly, Fang Zhengye did not say anything more.

Continuing to speak, he raised his hand and patted Xu Wenhu's shoulder, speaking earnestly.

"Okay, I know what kind of person you are. Since you have said you won't do this again next time, then I believe you."

After hearing Fang Zhengye's words, Xu Wenhu's mood improved a lot. He pointed to the bucket on the side and looked at the eels swimming happily in it. Xu Wenhu said in a low voice.

"Brother Fang, there is one more thing I have to make clear to you. I brought this eel back to you sincerely and I didn't have any other ideas. Don't get me wrong. If I really want to take advantage of you,

, where can I just give you some eels?"

He still remembered what Fang Zhengye said just now about whether he wanted to use these eels to bribe him, so he specifically mentioned it to show that he really didn't have that intention.

When Fang Zhengye heard this, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

"You are really careless. You just said something in a rush. I know what kind of person you are. I misunderstood you. I am here to apologize to you."

Hearing Fang Zhengye speak like this, Xu Wenhu's mood improved a lot, and a smile appeared on his face.

He still had a grandma to take care of at home, so Xu Wenhu didn't stay here longer and left after chatting with Fang Zhengye for a few words.

Not long after Xu Wenhu left, the sky turned completely dark. Fang Zhengye looked at the lively eels in the bucket and wondered whether he should pickle them to make dried eels.

You must know that Su Qingying has been really busy with work recently. When she went home last time, Fang Zhengye asked Su Qingying if it would be okay to make the things and send them to her. Su Qingying told Fang Zhengye that even if he made the things and sent them to her,

She may not have time to come out and get it outside the workroom.

"You better not try your best to make me something to eat. There is a canteen in the technical department now. If I want to eat anything, I can ask my assistant to bring some for me. You also have your own things to do, so there is no need to hang around me all the time.

.”

The key problem is that when Su Qingying is really busy, she doesn't care about time at all. She doesn't know when she will be able to control the time to eat. If Fang Zhengye brings something over, but she doesn't have time to get it, she will

It failed Fang Zhengye’s hard work.

However, these eels looked really good. It was rare to catch such a big eel. Fang Zhengye couldn't bear to eat it alone, so he simply wanted to make dried eels so that Su Qingying could have a taste when she came back.

.

But what a coincidence, just when Fang Zhengye was preparing to make all these eels into dried eels, Su Qingying came back for the rare occasion.

After not seeing each other for more than half a month, Su Qingying looked much thinner than before, but she seemed to be in good spirits.

When she came in, Fang Zhengye was handling eels. After hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked up and found that the person who came in was Su Qingying. Fang Zhengye's eyes lit up instantly.

"Qingying, why are you back?"

Didn't you say that you will be very busy recently? Why do you have time to come back now?

Su Qingying said with a smile: "Today's work went relatively smoothly. I completed the task ahead of schedule, so I just have some time to come back to see you and try your cooking... I'm really thinking about it after not eating for so long.

"

While she was talking, she had already arrived in front of Fang Zhengye. When she saw the snake-like things, Su Qingying was startled, took a few steps back involuntarily, and said in a trembling voice.

"What's this?"

It looks so scary, it feels like a pot of snakes shaking inside.

Seeing that Su Qingying was frightened, Fang Zhengye hurriedly explained: "This is eel. Huzi came over today and specially brought this thing to me. He said it was a rare good thing and asked me to cook it for you."

To replenish the body.”

Hearing Fang Zhengye say it was sent by Xu Wenhu, Su Qingying took a look, but she still couldn't stand those snake-like things. She rubbed her arms and stepped back a few steps to make sure that she couldn't see what was inside.

Then he said again.

"This thing looks really scary. Are you sure you can eat it?"

It looked like a snake, could it really fit in the mouth? Su Qingying, who has always had a strong mouth, felt that she might not be able to stand this thing.

"Of course you can eat it. It tastes good after stir-frying it with onion, ginger, pepper and minced garlic. You can eat two more bowls of rice. I still have rice at home, so it's just right to eat it with you. You go and wash up first, and I'll cook."

Su Qingying didn't say anything, nodded, and went to the bathroom to wash up, bypassing Fang Zhengye and the bucket of eels on the ground, while Fang Zhengye took the killed eels to the kitchen.
