Chapter 30: The Big Shot's Invitation

Evening.

Several people returned to the apartment building.

Li Jiaci called several people to his room.

The machine has been fixed now.

I've decided to set out tomorrow to the north to find a timber source.

But now the situation in all directions is unclear, doing things will surely be more difficult; we might not be back for ten days or half a month!

So, Old Three!

Li Jiaci turned to look at Liu Jiang and said: "You and Old Six stay at home for now; I'll take Yihu, Chu Qiang, and A Chen with me to the north, and that'll be enough."

Ah?

Liu Jiang widened his eyes, stood up, and said: "Why, bro? I also want to go north with you!"

Wang Lan also looked at Li Jiaci with an expression much like Liu Jiang's.

It was obvious that this guy also wanted to go north with Li Jiaci to find a timber source.

Listen to me first!

Li Jiaci gestured for Liu Jiang to sit down, helplessly saying: "I asked you two to stay at the factory not so you'd sleep all day doing nothing."

For us,

Time is our most precious resource; we can't afford to waste even a bit.

So we need two prongs of action: we few will go find the timber source, while you two stay at the factory to handle recruitment and buy some necessities.

That way, once the timber arrives, we can start work right here, then have people come haul the wood, wasting no time.

Li Jiaci reached out and patted Liu Jiang's shoulder: "Yihu is a reckless blockhead, Chu Qiang is young, and A Chen is prone to causing trouble at any moment; only by keeping you here can I relax."

Liu Jiang looked up at Li Jiaci, then finally nodded.

I understand, bro.

When you go north, I'll make sure to take care of everything else for you.

Hmm.

Li Jiaci thought a moment, then added: "By the way, we should hire workers half new hands, half veterans, so as not to affect the schedule; whatever the market wage is, we'll pay ten percent more."

And you can start on this after we leave.

If we don't come back, have everyone clean up and tidy the workshop.

If the cleaning is done and we still haven't returned, tell everyone to rest, but still pay their wages.

And be sure to get the cafeteria running in the back; don't let anyone work on an empty stomach.

Liu Jiang listened earnestly to every word of Li Jiaci's instructions, committing them all to memory.

And just as their conversation was winding down,

Li Jiaci was about to tell them to head back early to rest.

The room door was suddenly knocked on.

Hearing the sound, everyone inside looked in unison toward the door.

Li Jiaci casually asked: "Who are you looking for?"

Outside the door fell silent for a moment.

Then a voice came through: "Is this Li Jiaci's place, Ci Ge?"

Looking for himself?

Yes! What's up?

Li Jiaci frowned and asked.

The person outside replied: "Zhen Ge just set up a stage and wants to invite you to watch a show."

Wang Zhen? Watch a show?

Yihu and the others all turned at once to look at Li Jiaci.

That gaze clearly was asking what Li Jiaci should do next.

Li Jiaci waved his hand, signaling them to stay calm, then stood up and opened the door.

At that moment.

Outside the door stood a young man in a floral shirt and jeans.

Li Jiaci merely glanced at him and recognized the person right away.

If he remembered correctly.

The person before him should be called Lin Zhong.

He is Wang Zhen's most trusted person and also his right-hand man.

In his previous life.

Li Jiaci had also dealt with him quite a bit.

What show?

I can't tell you yet.

But this show will definitely satisfy you.

Lin Zhong's attitude was very polite: "When I came, Zhen Ge told me that if you, Ci Ge, find it inconvenient, just forget it; Zhen Ge also said that if you're willing, you can bring your brothers along."

He could let him bring people along……

What exactly is Wang Zhen selling from his gourd?

Li Jiaci narrowed his eyes, glanced at the few brothers inside.

Forget it.

They haven't eaten yet.

I'll just go with you alone.

Having said that, Li Jiaci turned around, preparing to give a few instructions to the people inside.

However.

He had just opened his mouth.

Li Yihu and Zhao Chen came up to him.

We're not hungry.

We'll go with you.

Liu Jiang and Wang Lan also stood up at the same time.

Seeing this scene.

Li Jiaci couldn't help but frown.

He also couldn't figure out what Wang Zhen was trying to do.

If they rashly go over, he and his brothers would be in danger.

Since everyone wants to go, let's bring them along.

Lin Zhong said to Li Jiaci: "We brought several cars this time, enough seats, and seeing you all so enthusiastic, Zhen Ge is surely happy too."

His words.

That basically shut down everything Li Jiaci was about to say.

If we don't take them, it's not giving Wang Zhen face, it's not giving Wang Zhen face.

Realizing this.

Li Jiaci couldn't help but sigh.

He then raised his head and said to Lin Zhong: "Then I'll trouble you."

Next.

Everyone then followed Lin Zhong downstairs and got into the cars they had sent.

After the cars got onto the highway, they headed straight for the suburbs.

Seeing this sight.

Li Yihu, sitting beside Li Jiaci, couldn't help but ask: "Brother, where is he taking us?"

You ask me, who should I ask?

Li Jiaci gave him a sideways glance.

If it weren't for this guy suddenly running over just now...

I could have just told them to stay home; why go through this?

If Wang Zhen intends to act against them, then those few of them would likely all be done for here.

Li Yihu couldn't fail to see the reproach in Li Jiaci's eyes.

He then didn't dare speak, shrank his neck, and embarrassedly shifted his gaze outside.

Looking at him like that.

Li Jiaci helplessly shook his head.

In this situation, blaming Li Yihu wouldn't help.

Based on his understanding of Wang Zhen, if that guy sends Lin Zhong to invite people, it's definitely a big deal.

Either Wang Zhen values this person and wants to befriend them, or he simply wants to kill them.

And he also doesn't know.

He wonders which side Wang Zhen has classified him as.

Could it be that he really wants to kill him just because he kissed his sister?

No way...

His vision wouldn't be that small, would it?

After all, back then he had no choice either.

Thinking back and forth.

Li Jiaci still couldn't figure it out.

And he simply stopped thinking, closed his eyes, and began to nurture his spirit.
