Chapter 346(1/2)

When the workers heard that the price had been lowered by another five hundred, they immediately said unhappy.

"This price is too low. We not only have to plan the wall, but also build it. This is a huge project. It costs 1,500 yuan. They don't treat us as human beings. The labor costs are so high now."

!”

Now that Junpeng had made up his mind, he didn't want to take back what he just said. He had a hunch in his heart that he could definitely get it done with fifteen hundred yuan.

In order to further cultivate Junpeng's autonomy, Xinyi just stood aside and watched without putting forward any opinions.

The workers saw that the duck they had received was about to fly away, and they even helped Junpeng carry the door home. They felt very uncomfortable because they had not made any money.

One worker had a rather stubborn temper and said angrily.

"If we don't do this work anymore, we should just take a day off. This doesn't take the working people seriously."

There was another worker who only wanted to make money. As long as there was work to do, even if the price was low, he said with a comforting look.

"Forget it! Since we're all here, let's do it! I'll just make a few hundred dollars less! What a big deal."

Several workers nearby also suggested that we should continue working! There are too few projects now, and it is difficult to make money, so stop being picky.

After several workers had a chatty discussion, they finally decided to continue working.

When Junpeng heard that this was possible, he immediately said happily.

"That will take a few days, so I can make the next step."

The workers were like having a meeting again. They all discussed together, and then one of the workers said.

"This work will take at least two days. After the wall is planed, it will have to be rebuilt. If the weather is good, it can be done in about one day, and then it will be painted with white."

When Junpeng heard this, it was so troublesome to annex a small house, so now he had no choice but to wait patiently.

Now that the workers are here and carrying tools, let’s start working!

In order to rush for time, Junpeng negotiated with a worker.

"We'll start working today, and I won't be able to pay you the fifteen hundred yuan until the project is inspected and passed."

The workers carried the door, but Junpeng still hasn’t paid! One worker suddenly remembered this and quickly reminded him.

"There's also the four hundred yuan to buy the door, which adds up to a total of nineteen hundred yuan."

Junpeng was so busy that he actually forgot to buy the door, he said with an embarrassed look.

"I'm sorry, I was so busy that I forgot to pay for the door. So if we add them all together, the total is 1,900 yuan."

The workers quickly changed the subject and said.

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone has a bad memory sometimes, let's start working now!"

Junpeng immediately said to Xinyi.

"Mom, please go home first! Qiu Ren and I are here watching the workers work. It's too messy here. You can come back after everything is cleaned up."

Xinyi didn't like to be in an environment digging dirt, so she ran outside quickly without any explanation, and then shouted loudly.

"Junpeng, I'm going home then! You two, please pay attention to your safety."

Junpeng also shouted loudly in the room.

"I understand, please go home quickly!"

As soon as Xinyi ran out of the door, the workers picked up big hammers and started smashing the wall. In a blink of an eye, the whole house was filled with dust.

Junpeng and Qiuren had been watching the workers at work, fearing that something would go wrong and they would have to do it all over again.

It was the first time for Junpeng and Qiuren to experience such an environment. They were choked by dust and coughed constantly.

The workers shouted while working.

"I see that you two are so weak. We are just scratching the wall right now. You should go outside first! There is too much dust in this room."

Junpeng also felt that the two of them were not suitable to stay here for a long time, so Junpeng said with a serious face.

"Then let's go outside first! If you need us somewhere, you can call us."

The workers shouted in unison.

"Okay, okay, you go outside first!"

Junpeng and Qiuren quickly ran outside, then stood on the side of the road and started coughing non-stop.

It took Junpeng a while to recover, and he said while covering his chest.

"I thought it would cost at least tens of thousands to renovate a small house, but I didn't expect that we could finish it for less than two thousand yuan. The two of us are really amazing."

Qiu Ren also felt that it was a bit too cheap, he said with a bright face.

"After this transformation, it has completely become my nest! When I think of this, I feel very happy."

After Xinyi returned home, she started to pack her things. Looking at this small house that had been with her for more than two years, she felt a little reluctant to part with it.

After a few hours passed, the workers had almost finished smashing, and then began to build the wall.

Junpeng and Qiuren had been sitting outside playing with their mobile phones. As soon as they heard this, they stopped smashing the wall and ran quickly into the house.

Junpeng looked at the dust all over the room and said while covering his mouth.

"Master, we are building a wall! What about the sand and cement? Who will be responsible for it?"

Workers, you look at me, I look at you, and then they say with confused expressions.

"Why, didn't you buy cement and sand? Then how can we work, thinking that you have everything ready!"

Junpeng didn't know he had to buy these things, and the waiter at the decoration company didn't remind him at all. Junpeng suddenly felt that he had made a mistake, and now he could only buy them again.

Junpeng said helplessly.

"Does your company have sand and cement?"

The workers hurriedly spoke in order to keep up with the progress.

"Yes, we have everything in the company. Just call the waiter and bring us the sand, cement, and bricks. Otherwise, we won't be able to do this job."

Junpeng was not in the mood to talk about the price at this time. He was so anxious that he didn't even remember the waiter's phone number. He was confused and stammered.

"I don't have any contact information. You are all insiders. Call the company quickly. Don't stop work!"

The workers stopped talking nonsense to Junpeng and immediately took out their mobile phones and started calling the company, asking them to quickly send a truck to deliver ten bags of sand, three generations of cement, and half a truckload of bricks.

Junpeng didn't know how much these things cost, so he asked in a hurry.

"How much do these sand, cement and other things cost in total?"

The workers at work said quickly without thinking.

"It's only a thousand yuan!"

When Junpeng heard that these things were so expensive, they actually cost a thousand yuan. When he heard this, he suddenly started sweating on his forehead and said eagerly.

"Isn't this extortion? How could you ask for so much money? I didn't say yes at the time, and now it's now, but you told me a thousand yuan. It seems a bit unreasonable."

The workers began to talk in various directions.

"That's a problem with your work. Who told you not to discuss it with your boss at that time? It's useless to blame us now. We are not responsible for these things."

Junpeng thought that it was indeed the case. The workers were responsible for the work. Now, in order to meet the construction deadline, Junpeng had to pay a lot of money.

As soon as the workers were idle, they began to chatter endlessly, and some workers even said with dissatisfied expressions.

"I can't do this job anymore. If I continue to do it, I will call the company immediately and ask them to send the materials quickly."

Junpeng said with a depressed look.

"Your boss is really shady. He has already done the work to this extent. You should hurry up and let the boss deliver the goods!"

When the workers heard that Junpeng agreed, they immediately said with grins.

"Then I'll call and it will be delivered in ten minutes."

The workers quickly ordered the company to deliver the materials as soon as possible. Junpeng sat aside, feeling more and more depressed as he thought about it.

Qiu Ren was dumbfounded when he saw this situation, and he quickly came over to comfort him.

"Junpeng, don't blame yourself, otherwise I will share half of the cost of the decoration materials."

Junpeng was renovating his own house. How dare he ask Qiu Ren to share the cost of renovating the house? He quickly shook his head, then forced a smile on his face and said.

"It's okay. Decorating the house is my business and has nothing to do with you. I'm just angry with the boss. Why didn't he make it clear at the time?"

Qiu Ren also felt that the boss of this company was too bad. He cursed and said angrily.

"Nowadays, business people are relatively unscrupulous. If you are not careful, they will take advantage of the loopholes. We still have to be short-term and practical. It would be great if Auntie is here. She will definitely handle it better than us."

When Qiuren mentioned Xinyi, Junpeng felt even more sad. Just now he had boasted to Xinyi that he had settled everything for less than two thousand yuan.

This time, suddenly there was an extra thousand yuan. Junpeng really didn't know how to explain it to Xinyi after returning home.

Junpeng sighed and said with a blank look on his face.

"Society is really not as simple as we imagine. When we go out to do business in the future, we need to be more cautious to avoid being deceived by profiteers."

Qiu Ren suddenly remembered a sentence. He scolded the profiteers fiercely and said with a sneer.
