Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and Wang Changgen was at the Village Committee handling some trivial matters.

Li Xiulan gave him a call:

"Erhai, your dad found employees and brought them home. Come back and take a look."

"This fast?"

Wang Erhai was stunned for a moment, then said:

"Alright, I'll head back right now!"

Wang Erhai came out of the Village Committee Office.

Harboring curiosity.

Just what kind of employees would this never-very-reliable birth father of his find for him?

But upon returning home and taking a look, he was surprised.

"Uncle Hongwei, Uncle Dahe, Uncle Shoutian, what brings you here?"

As soon as Wang Erhai stepped through the door, he saw Zhou Hongwei, Liu Dahe, Zhao Shoutian, and the others, sitting in his living room, drinking tea and chatting away with smiles.

Zhou Hongwei said with a smile:

"Your dad invited us back, said he wants us to go work at your company."

Wang Erhai was surprised:

"Didn't you already take on someone else's project?"

Zhou Hongwei smiled and said:

"Your dad came personally to invite us; I wouldn't dare not give Face!"

Wang Erhai hurriedly asked:

"Then what about the project you took on before?"

Zhou Hongwei replied:

"I helped the employer find another construction crew, and at a price even cheaper than mine."

Wang Changgen said with a face full of smugness:

"I knew you wouldn't trust me, so I got your Uncle Hongwei to come. He's your masonry master; you might not trust me, but you surely trust him, right!"

Zhou Hongwei indeed counted as Wang Erhai's master in masonry work; previously, he had followed Zhou Hongwei for a period of time learning masonry skills, such as laying bricks, tiling, plastering, and so on.

"Dad, you really went to the trouble!"

Liu Dahe asked with a laugh:

"Erhai, your dad said you'd give us a monthly salary of eight thousand yuan. That wouldn't be your dad blowing hot air, would it?"

Before Wang Erhai could answer, Zhao Shoutian said:

"I reckon Changgen is just blowing hot air; he's used to it! Erhai, you only need to pay us five or six thousand a month, and we'll be perfectly satisfied!"

Zhao Shoutian's words weren't false.

Working as a Big Worker under Zhou Hongwei doing masonry, he only got one hundred fifty yuan a day; even working a full month without rest, that's only four thousand five hundred yuan, and no medical insurance or social security or anything.

So as long as Wang Erhai gave them a monthly salary of five or six thousand, plus bought the Five Insurances and One Fund, they would absolutely be grinning from ear to ear.

They didn't dare hope for too high a salary; eight thousand a month, they didn't even dare dream of it!

However, Wang Erhai spoke with a very affirmative tone:

"Uncle Shoutian, my dad isn't blowing hot air. My company really will pay you a monthly salary of eight thousand yuan, and will also buy the Five Insurances and One Fund for you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shoutian was happy like an old child.

"You better not be deceiving me. I've done masonry work all my life, and I've never gotten such high wages!"

Liu Dahe then asked:

"Is the work intensity very high?"

Before Wang Erhai could answer, Zhao Shoutian cut in:

"Let the work intensity be high if it's high. Monthly salary eight thousand — What Else Do You Want — I'd even sleep at the construction site!"

Wang Erhai hurriedly explained:

"Rest assured, the work intensity won't be high. I'm hiring you in; basically, you won't need to personally get your hands dirty doing the work. You just need to help the company do a good job with quality surveillance!"

"What? What does that mean?"

Zhao Shoutian looked blank, completely baffled.

"Pay such high wages and don't have to work much — is this for real!"

Wang Changgen hurriedly said:

"What do you know? In the city, the less a job requires you to work, the higher the pay! The more backbreaking the job, the lower the pay!"

Zhou Hongwei chimed in:

"Right, right, right. Look at those white-collar workers sitting in offices; they don't go to work until eight or nine in the morning, when the sun is already high. But those sweeping the streets in the city have to get up at four or five in the morning, just at Dawn, yet their wages don't even reach half of what those office white-collars make!"

Liu Dahe laughed and said:

"Put that way, this time we're going to Erhai's company to be white-collars?"

"A foreman doesn't count as a white-collar, does it?" Wang Changgen said this, then asked Wang Erhai: "Does it count or not?"

Wang Erhai couldn't tell either:

"Not too sure, but it probably doesn't count."

Zhao Shoutian said:

"Who cares if it counts as white-collar or not, as long as we can get a monthly salary of eight thousand, any kind of collar works!"

The few of them talked and laughed, and this matter was considered settled just like that.

Zhou Hongwei, Zhao Shoutian, Liu Dahe, plus Wang Erhai's own biological father — now four people had been found.

Huo Guoqiang said this decoration team needed five people.

In other words, they were still short one person.

It would be great if Liang Xinghua was willing to come.

Too bad, Liang Xinghua backed out and had already refused him.

Wang Erhai couldn't possibly lower his stance to ask him again, so this last person, he'd hand over to Huo Guoqiang to find.

To tell the truth, this decoration team responsible for quality supervision was quite important inside the Company, so it absolutely couldn't be entirely Wang Erhai's people; otherwise Huo Guoqiang would see it and be unhappy.

So Wang Erhai called Huo Guoqiang:

"General Manager Huo, I've already found four decoration workers with solid professional quality on my end, but I really can't find a fifth one. How about your side helps find one?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Guoqiang was immediately overjoyed and said:

"How about letting my nephew join this team as well."

Hearing this, Wang Erhai couldn't help but feel a stroke of luck; fortunately he had reserved a spot for Huo Guoqiang, otherwise it would have been too socially inept.

It was very obvious Huo Guoqiang had long wanted to stuff his nephew in; he just didn't want to open his mouth first, waiting to see if Wang Erhai would know how to handle people.

"Sure, sure, absolutely no problem! I don't trust others, but General Manager Huo's nephew — I can rest a hundred percent easy!"

Now that Wang Erhai was this good at handling people, he trusted Wang Erhai even more in his heart.

He felt that working together with Wang Erhai gave a feeling like bathing in a spring breeze.

"Let me declare in advance: this nephew of mine doesn't understand decoration too well. Once he enters the Company, you'll still have to help take care of him a bit."

Wang Erhai said generously:

"Absolutely no problem. Not knowing can be learned. Actually decoration is just those few tricks; there's no high threshold. Get in touch for one or two months and you'll know everything!"

Thus, this decoration team was established just like that.

Zhou Hongwei served as Group Leader, Huo Guoqiang's nephew Huo Zhi Hui as Deputy Group Leader, and Zhao Shoutian, Liu Dahe, Wang Zhanggen as group members.

Originally Wang Erhai proposed letting Huo Zhi Hui be Group Leader; after all, he was Huo Guoqiang's nephew, and Huo Guoqiang would definitely trust his own nephew more than the people Wang Erhai found.

However, although Huo Guoqiang looked after his own relative, he didn't lose sight of priorities because of it. He knew his own nephew didn't understand anything; if he let him be Group Leader, that would absolutely bring huge disaster to the Company.

So in the end, under Huo Guoqiang's strong insistence, Huo Zhi Hui only became Deputy Group Leader.

Huo Guoqiang said to Huo Zhi Hui in private:

"Nephew, it doesn't matter that you don't understand decoration. Your main task coming to this Company isn't to supervise project quality, but to help me keep an eye on those four people Wang Erhai found. Understand?"

Hearing this, Huo Zhi Hui couldn't help but freeze for a moment, then hurriedly nodded:

"Second Uncle, I understand!"

Huo Guoqiang then said:

"Additionally, you set up a Human Resources Company, specifically to take on our Liguo Mountain's outsourcing tasks. The resources in our hands can't be wasted; the fertile water shouldn't flow to outsiders' fields. Understand?"

Huo Zhi Hui was immediately overjoyed:

"Understand, understand! Thank you, Second Uncle!"
