Chapter 37 - Working Overtime (2/2)

Blue Hat hesitated for a few seconds, then took the cigarette and said, “I only said that because someone here fell off the roof in the middle of the night because he was too tired.

I don’t know what the higher-ups were doing, but they wanted us to finish sooner. If we didn’t start work in the middle of the night, this month’s work would be wasted. “

Zhou Feng’s hand almost trembled. The cigarette was gone.

“No one reported such a big incident?!” he wondered.

“He died just like that? Didn’t his family come to cause trouble?”

Blue Hat puffed out rings of smoke and said, “Why didn’t they come to cause trouble? The higher-ups came to chase them away. Then the strangest thing happened. The victim’s family met with a car accident on the way back! It was untimely.”

“Anyone would think that there was something fishy going on!” Zhou Feng thought.

He asked softly, “Was it the Lu Corporation?”

“I suspect so too.”

Blue Hat lowered his voice and said, “Word had it that the truck driver was drunk. There were four people in the rented vehicle, including the driver. The wife and brother were dead.

In the end, the daughter of the person who fell off the building survived and is still lying in the hospital. It was said that she might become a vegetable.”

Zhou Feng felt as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret.

He asked, “Do you know the name of the person who fell?”

Blue Hat thought for a while. “I remember it was… Li Rong!”

He looked left and right and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, “You’d better not come here. This place is very dangerous. Previously, there were a few who almost fell down. They said that it was an evil spirit causing trouble. Those people were so scared that they went straight home.”

No wonder Zhou Feng was hired without an interview when he came over.

So it was because the construction team had a shortage of workers.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll leave immediately.”

Blue Hair nodded.

After Zhou Feng returned to his workplace, the people who were having lunch had also returned.

While he was working, a middle-aged man wearing a red hat walked over. “Are you a local?”

He nodded. The person in front of him was the contractor of the apartment. He was the one who recruited him.

“Are you used to the work here? We need to work overtime recently. If you can stay, try to stay.”

The contractor placed his hands behind his back, looking like a big boss.

Zhou Feng blurted out, “Is there overtime pay?”

The head contractor clicked his tongue unhappily. “Young people should be striving hard. You should strive for your ideals, not money. This world needs idealistic young people!”

“Familiar unrealistic talk,” Zhou Feng thought.

His words were not practical at all.

Ordinary young men would have definitely lowered their heads in acquiesce.

But Zhou Feng was different.

“I don’t know if this world needs aspiring youths. I only know that I need money. I can’t even live without money, so why are you talking about ideals with me?”

The contractor choked.

The two of them just looked at each other.

Neither wanted to back down.

The foreman narrowed his eyes and threatened, “Aren’t you afraid that I will fire you?”

“The streets are full of construction workers carrying bricks. This is not even a sought after job.”

Zhou Feng said firmly.

The contractor’s tone softened a little when he saw that he was ready to jump ship.

“As long as you work hard, I’ll definitely give you all the overtime pay.”

“When the time comes?

When?”

Zhou Feng thought this was still empty talk.

“When did the Lu Corporation become so poor?”

He thought to himself..
