Chapter 79

After tidying up the utensils, Chuxin also took the initiative to arrange the bedding for her elder brother. Only then did the two siblings leave the office happily and head towards the construction site. The weather was no longer as hot as it had been in the past few days, and the workers' enthusiasm for their work had increased significantly. The construction site was brightly lit, and the buildings were beginning to take shape. Even Chu Ying, a "connoisseur" who had seen the world's top-tier architecture, found the design here interesting, which showed that Ling Siyi had indeed put a lot of effort into it.

Chu Ying had single-handedly repelled Ma Tao and his gang during the day, which made his image in the hearts of the workers instantly grow. As he passed by, every worker greeted him, and they even praised Chuxin a few times. The little girl had never been affirmed before, so she was naturally overjoyed.

Huanzi, due to his injuries, was granted leave by the foreman, who was quite understanding. When the two siblings arrived at Huanzi's residence, he was busy cleaning the simple house.

"Why did you come?" Huanzi stopped his actions and asked with a simple smile.

"I'll help Brother Huanzi clean up first, you two can talk!" Chuxin's considerate side was once again revealed as she took the cleaning tools from Huanzi and started working diligently.

Chu Ying and Huanzi smiled, and neither of them stopped Chuxin. Diligence was a virtue, a good trait in one's character, and the two brothers certainly wouldn't refuse their sister's good intentions.

"Are you feeling better?"

They asked in unison. When they heard each other's questions, they couldn't help but laugh, and then they burst out laughing.

Huanzi had a tough skin and was in his prime. Although the stick had caused him to bleed, the bleeding had stopped immediately and it wasn't serious. As for Chu Ying, he had endured injuries a hundred times worse, and he was now as good as new.

"Where are Li Dong and Ah Biao?" Chu Ying hadn't encountered those guys on his way, and he thought they were resting in this simple dormitory. Seeing no sign of them in the dormitory, Chu Ying naturally had to ask.

Huanzi was puzzled. "It's strange, Li Dong and the others came back and discussed something behind my back, then they went to work on the construction site on their own. The foreman used to say all sorts of nice things to them, but they never moved. Could it be that they've changed after going out with you?"

Chu Ying couldn't make a definitive judgment about whether they had really changed, but Li Dong and the others had indeed changed. They were no longer like before, expecting to gain without effort. Although it was just the beginning, it at least proved their determination.

Chu Ying felt relieved about this.

"Let them be, but as their elder brother, you need to set an example. These guys are not easy to deal with, and they might cause trouble in the future. You need to keep an eye on them." Chu Ying subtly reminded Huanzi that as their elder brother, he needed to be able to control his subordinates. This was Chu Ying's basic requirement for Huanzi.

Huanzi was Chu Ying's blood brother, and he wouldn't treat him the same way he treated Li Dong. He could only hint indirectly. How much Huanzi could understand was up to him, and Chu Ying wouldn't force him in any way.

Moreover, Huanzi only planned to be an ordinary person in his heart. Whether or not he had Chu Ying, Huanzi had only one wish: to raise Chuxin. He didn't consider anything else.

Think about it, could such a person suddenly change his long-held beliefs and deny everything about himself? It was completely impossible. Moreover, if Huanzi really did that, Chu Ying would be worried for him.

Even if he took a step back, Chu Ying hadn't thought about turning Huanzi into someone like Li Dong. He just hoped that Huanzi wouldn't be too naive and would stand up for himself when necessary. In other words, he hoped Huanzi would be a bit more shrewd.

Huanzi, caught between laughter and tears, said, "They all look up to you as their leader and follow your every word. You not only refused to take them in but also pushed them to me. Now you want me to manage them."

Chu Ying put his arm around Huanzi's shoulder and interrupted him, "That's not right. It was you who took the initiative to take on this responsibility and offered to take them in. I refused them, but I didn't ask you to agree to it."

Huanzi, who was not good with words, felt frustrated after being interrupted by Chu Ying. He complained, "But they see you as their leader and follow your every word. When you have time, you should advise them not to be like those small-time hooligans. They're not young anymore. Even if they don't think about themselves, they should think about their families and work hard on the construction site. They'll eventually make it."

After a pause, Huanzi smiled and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, the foreman said I've done well these past few days and is planning to promote me. If Li Dong and the others are willing to follow me, the foreman will give me a project to manage. Then we'll be bosses too!"

"Did the foreman really say that?" Chu Ying asked, but he knew that the foreman was treating Huanzi differently because of his relationship with Ling Siyi. Otherwise, someone like Huanzi, who knew nothing, wouldn't be given a project to manage.

Huanzi nodded and then sighed, "The foreman is doing this because of Li Dong and the others. These guys did nothing for the past few days, just sleeping or playing cards in the house. The foreman's money isn't easy to earn, so he can't just support them for nothing. That's why he assigned them to me. I'm worried about this, and since you've always been smarter than me, help me think of a solution!"

"Do you really want to take on this job?" Huanzi's willingness was the most important thing, everything else was secondary.

Huanzi said, "Of course I do. Xinxin is about to go to school in the city. With my current salary of over a thousand, even if we add what you earn, it might not be enough. Being a small foreman would be different. Besides, Old Li said he would advance me the money for the contract, and I can pay him back when I earn it."

Chu Ying thought for a moment and directly rejected Huanzi's idea. With Huanzi's current abilities, let alone being a foreman, he probably didn't even know the names or prices of various building materials. Relying solely on enthusiasm would eventually lead to problems.

But he couldn't say it directly. He analyzed, "Working for yourself is indeed better than working for others, but you've just started in the construction industry and don't understand many things yet. I suggest you learn from Old Li for a while. Once you understand everything, you can start your own business."

After a pause, Chu Ying continued, "Li Dong and the others are used to a lazy life. Do you think they will work hard? If this problem isn't solved, they will only cause you trouble. You need to make them respect you as their leader, and then they will truly follow you."

Huanzi nodded and said, "I thought the same thing. That's why I asked you to help me think of a way to make them work hard and achieve something."

Just as Chu Ying was about to speak, Li Dong, Ah Biao, and Fan Hong returned.
