Chapter 7 The Last Lunch

Whether the fish tastes good or not is a matter of Master Gao's craftsmanship, but no one expected that this fish feast would be the last lunch for the workers.

I worked until about 10 o'clock in the morning, but the cement mortar was no longer available. Master Wang was very anxious and asked me to rush it. I went downstairs to see the scene and found that the rush was useless. There was no cement and the mixer had stopped. Han Xiaobai also came over to see if it was possible.

What's going on.

The lack of cement had already been reported, and someone said something was wrong.

A fatal accident occurred on the construction site of another company subcontracted by Boss Yao, and the workers were worried that it might be related to this incident.

Unexpectedly, everyone took a rest early and waited to eat fish.

Dinner was served on time at noon, and while people were praising Master Gao's craftsmanship, they were also talking about rumors of work-related fatalities.

Manager Yao came with a briefcase, and with him came the beautiful assistant Bai Luoxue.

"Manager Yao is here! Let's eat here. You've caught up. The fish Xiao Chen bought is super delicious. I'm sure you'll want to eat it twice after eating it."

Master Gao stepped forward with a smile and greeted him quickly.

This room belongs to Manager Yao, but he rarely eats here. His home is in a certain community in Huangtu County, and he has a lot to do and socialize with, so he naturally has many opportunities to eat out, and he only eats here occasionally.

As Bai Luoxue is his assistant, we all call her secretary, and behind her back we call her boss wife and mistress. She follows Manager Yao wherever he goes. I wonder if she will follow Manager Yao back home?

Everyone knows about the scandal between the two, but no one has ever witnessed their affair with their own eyes. Everything is just hearsay.

Manager Yao sniffed, as if he wanted to feel the smell of the fish, so he asked Master Huang to serve two portions, then sat down with Bai Luoxue and ate the fish generously.

I sat across from them and glanced at him from time to time. My attention was not on Manager Yao, I was looking at Bai Luoxue.

I heard that Bai Luoxue is about the same age as me and has already graduated from graduate school. She found Manager Yao last summer and the two have been inseparable since then.

The workers all know that Manager Yao has been married for a long time. His wife works in a bank and he has a baby daughter. I have met his wife. She is a very beautiful woman. She is not less talented than Bai Luoxue.

I guess that maybe because Bai Luoxue and Manager Yao are in and out of the same house all day long, the impression given to people is rather ambiguous. People who like to gossip will make up some stories, which may be groundless. I don’t know about the rumors about these two people.

Do you know why they don't avoid suspicion?

As the name suggests, Bailuo Snowman is as white as snow, with crystal clear white, delicate facial features, and a slim and well-proportioned figure. Just at that station, she is enough to outshine all beauties. People are very fond of fabricating scandals about beauties.

thing.

To be honest, every time I see Bai Luoxue, I take a few more glances. In fact, I find that it’s not just me, but even the eyes of Master Wang, a seemingly serious man, will shine.

Not to mention Han Xiaobai, who would sigh every time he saw Bai Luoxue.

"If we could marry a wife like this, even if we were married for just one day, we would be willing to die!"

Having said that, I would like to say to him, "If you really get a woman like this, you won't want to die! The reality is that at most you are a toad who wants to eat swan meat."

Not to be outdone, he scolded me, "Don't say you don't want to be a toad!"

The two of us ended the conversation laughing.

"Manager Yao, when will the cement come? We have run out of material and there is no work to do."

Master Wang interrupted my recollection. Unexpectedly, he was in a hurry. For this man who makes money at the expense of his life, time is money, and delaying time will delay him from making money.

Manager Yao stopped his chopsticks.

"Eat first, then eat when you are full. This fish is so delicious! I have eaten thousands of delicious meals. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious fish. At this moment, everyone should enjoy this delicious food."

He did not answer Master Wang directly, and no one else asked. The atmosphere was frozen. Apart from the sound of eating, there was the smell of fish in the air.

Bai Luoxue ate silently, not saying a word from beginning to end, not even a whisper. She ate very elegantly, eating the fish in small bites, chewing it slowly and enjoying the delicious taste of the fish.

Seeing her delicious food, I felt inexplicably comfortable. For such a beautiful woman, eating the fish I caught was considered a service to her, and an indescribable feeling lingered in my heart. I even wanted to look at her, The chopsticks used to hold the fish stopped moving. Fortunately, everyone was busy eating and no one noticed my gaffe.

But I noticed Bai Luoxue. She was very attentive. She put down her chopsticks. She must have been full. She took out napkins from her small bag and handed two to Manager Yao before she wiped her mouth.

Seeing this scene, a sour taste came over me, and I quickly sighed secretly. I was thinking too much, for fear that she would see my embarrassment, so I hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of rice to cover it up.

Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another, and Manager Yao stood up.

"Just now, the reason why I didn't answer Master Wang's question is because I was worried that some of the things I was about to announce would affect everyone's appetite. Everyone should enjoy such delicious fish and not be affected by other bad news. Everyone We’ve all eaten, and it’s not too late for me to tell you now.”

Everyone looked at him and listened obediently, knowing that it was not going to be a good thing. They all had serious faces. The joy of enjoying the delicious fresh fish just now disappeared.

"You may have heard that just in the morning, a work-related accident occurred in our brother's unit. Two people died and one was injured. The superior department required the entire industry to carry out safety rectification. There is no cement on the construction site. I knew it earlier. The cement will not be put in for the time being. It's just right. Take this opportunity to stop. This rectification will take at least half a month, and construction can only start again if the acceptance is passed. Everyone will clean up the site in the afternoon, and you can go home after that. I will inform everyone before starting work."

Manager Yao's words were like a bombshell that exploded in the house.

"Manager Yao, are we going to rest like this?"

"I don't have any money for half a month!"

"What about the salary?"

"Can we pass the rectification?"



Everyone started talking about it. In the past, accidents in other units would more or less affect the same industry. The workers knew that there would be no money to be made during the rectification period. Most of them sighed, and they were more concerned about when their wages would be paid.

Manager Yao raised his hand and pressed down to silence everyone.

"The wages will be paid now, and I will give you the calculation until today. Take a break at noon, and each captain will lead his own team to clean up the scene. You can leave after that."

After that, he motioned to Bai Luoxue to give out the money, and the workers lined up to receive it one by one.

After receiving the money, some people discussed why they need to rest. They should go to the scene to clean up now so that they can go home early. Most people agreed, and only a few of them should go back to the dormitory first.

People dispersed one after another, and Master Wang sighed with emotion before leaving.

"Oh! I can't eat such delicious fish anymore!"

I deliberately dilly-dallyed and ended up last, not because I wanted to be lazy, but because Manager Yao and Bai Luoxue were waiting for all the workers to leave before leaving.
