Chapter 1134: That's the Rule

~8 min read 1,441 words

"Ersuozi!"

A middle-aged man who was dry and thin, with a small head and big eyes, looking very funny, rode a bicycle over.

"Any work?"

Suo Bensheng looked up, saw the middle-aged man, and smiled: "Monkey brother, it's so cold, why did you run to the train station?"

"You think I want to come." Monkey brother kicked the bicycle ladder with his foot, and took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Suo Bensheng, "Come, smoke."

"Don't!" Suo Bensheng refused: "You tell me first, are you looking for me for something."

"Tsk!" Monkey brother tsked, holding the cigarette and insisting on stuffing it into Suo Bensheng's hand, "Come, smoke one first, and talk about whether there is anything or not after smoking."

Suo Bensheng was very firm: "You tell me the matter first, otherwise I won't have a bottom in my heart if I smoke your cigarette."

"Look at you." Monkey brother looked helpless: "I'm getting married, the house is cleaned up, and I bought a set of combination cabinets and a sofa in the mall. I was thinking about who to find to pull the goods without paying, so I thought of you."

Suo Bensheng seemed to know Monkey brother for the first time: "You mean, I pull the goods for you, and you give me money?"

"Nonsense!" Monkey brother glared, his big eyeballs protruding from his eye sockets: "Even if our brotherly feelings are not ordinary, there is no reason to work for nothing. Of course, I have to give the wages that should be given."

"No, no!" Suo Bensheng shook his head: "Who doesn't know that Monkey brother you are good at managing the family, and you can squeeze water out of a penny. I have pulled goods for you more than once, let alone wages, I haven't even eaten a popsicle."

"You say that." Monkey brother sighed: "It wasn't because I was poor at that time. The old man and the old lady at home were not in good health, and I had to support them all by myself. How can I not calculate a little."

"Now it's different. You also know that I opened a small snack shop at the gate of the winery, and the business is not bad, and I earned some money. Now if I still let you work for nothing, am I still a human?"

Suo Bensheng looked Monkey brother up and down, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, since you said so, I'll pull a trip for you."

"That's a good brother." Monkey brother patted Suo Bensheng on the shoulder: "Follow me."

"Wait!" Suo Bensheng was still worried: "Let's set the price first, and then go."

"You are like this, can I still treat you badly?" Monkey brother's voice suddenly increased a lot, and he said very generously: "Normal price is two yuan, I'll give you three yuan."

Suo Bensheng smiled: "A set of combination cabinets, and a set of sofa, I can't pull it alone."

"Run two trips." Monkey brother muttered: "Mumbling, like a girl."

At this time, a small cold wind blew, and Suo Bensheng wrapped his cotton-padded coat: "Monkey brother, you are not interesting like this. Large furniture, not responsible for handling is five yuan, responsible for handling is eight yuan.

Like this, I'll find another one. The two of us, one pulls the combination cabinet, one pulls the sofa, responsible for moving into your house, five yuan each, how about it?"

"Ersuozi!" Monkey brother was very dissatisfied: "How did I just find out that you are not realistic at all? People pull work for three yuan, and they are responsible for moving into the house, how did it rise to five yuan when it came to you?"

"Monkey brother, if there are three yuan, you can go find it quickly." Suo Bensheng waved his hand: "I'd better pull guests here, one yuan, worry-free and light."

"Fine!" Monkey brother's big eyeballs turned: "I don't care about those two yuan, and what is the relationship between us, I would rather let you earn five yuan than throw it to others to fight for three yuan."

"Five yuan." Suo Bensheng emphasized: "I'll go find another one now."

"Find what?" Monkey brother said: "You just pull two trips yourself, why let others earn the money."

Suo Bensheng didn't get fooled. If he pulled two trips himself, this dead monkey would definitely only give him five yuan.

"Such a big combination cabinet and sofa, how can I move it alone?"

"Can I let you move it alone?" Monkey brother smiled: "There is no one in my house."

"No!" Suo Bensheng shook his head vigorously: "I can

Before coming over, Brother Hou had been calculating in his head, wanting to use Suo Bensheng for free; even if he had to pay, he figured two or three yuan would be plenty.

But he never expected that Suo Bensheng wouldn't fall for it, which left him very unwilling.

Five yuan per person, ten yuan for two—it really pained him.

But if he looked for someone else, the movers who didn't accept bargaining would still charge five yuan, and wouldn't that be an even bigger loss?

Thinking of this, this guy made a helpless expression.

"You, you'd take money from anyone. Fine, go find one more."

"Alright!"

Suo Bensheng turned and walked toward a small fat man not far away, who was squatting on the curb smoking.

"Guodong!"

Zhang Guodong smiled and said: "I've been watching for a while, have you finished discussing the job?"

"Discussed it. A set of modular cabinets and a sofa set, five yuan each for the two of us, responsible for moving them into the house."

Suo Bensheng looked back and said with a smile: "I know the employer; he's an old miser. When we go over in a bit, you make him pay first. I'm afraid that when the time comes, he'll stir up trouble again and find excuses to pay us less."

"Fine!"

Zhang Guodong put the cigarette in his mouth and rode his tricycle over.

"Boss, moving furniture?"

"That's right." Brother Hou asked: "Didn't Er Suozi tell you?"

"He did." Zhang Guodong nodded: "A set of modular cabinets, a sofa set, five yuan each, responsible for moving them into the house, right?"

"Right!" Brother Hou said: "Why ask if you already know?"

Zhang Guodong smiled: "I have a rule when I take a job: pay first."

"What?" Brother Hou jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on: "Where is there a rule of paying before the work is done?"

"That's my rule." Zhang Guodong was very firm: "If it works, I'll go with you; if not, forget it."

"Can't I find someone else to move things if I'm paying? You're even threatening me now." Brother Hou laughed in anger: "Er Suozi, what kind of person did you find?"

Suo Bensheng said: "Brother Hou, we're already asking for three yuan less than usual; whoever I find is definitely going to be at the going rate."

Brother Hou looked at Suo Bensheng, then at Zhang Guodong, and was completely out of options.

Because finding these two was the cheapest; if he found someone else, he would definitely have to spend six yuan more.

This guy very reluctantly took ten yuan out of his pocket and handed it to Suo Bensheng with great unwillingness.

Suo Bensheng grabbed it, a smile appearing on his face: "Guodong, let's go."

………………

In the western suburbs of Jiangzhou, the former Jiangzhou Ceramics Factory closed at the beginning of the year and was bought by Jin Dun Security.

At this time, the once dilapidated factory had taken on a new look; the main gate was built very impressively, and the four large characters "Jin Dun Security" were also very eye-catching.

Inside the courtyard, the original two-story red brick factory building had its exterior walls painted white.

A shield logo was painted on it, with the words written next to it: "Sweat tempers elite troops, ambition casts brilliance."

Yao Jun came out of the office building and got into the car parked at the entrance: "Go to the winery!"

The driver drove straight to the winery. Just as they turned the corner at the intersection not far from the winery, Yao Jun saw a familiar figure flash past outside the car window.

Yao Jun hurriedly opened the car window and looked back: "Stop the car."

The driver turned the steering wheel and slowly parked the car on the side of the road.

Yao Jun pushed open the car door and got out; that familiar figure was pedaling the tricycle with all his might.

"Guodong!"
