When the foreman saw that the visitor was unkind, he immediately hid behind Jia Qinglai.
I kept saying in my mind: "They can't see me, they can't see me."
Jia Qinglai couldn't hold on anymore and knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
He said with a mournful face: "They are all little ones who are ignorant of the truth and have offended Mr. Lin. Please let me go."
A big boy from the yard kicked him to the ground and said, "Let him go if you ask him to. That will make us lose face!"
Jia Qinglai got up from the ground, still kneeling on the ground: "Masters, what do you want me to do?"
Another brother from the courtyard pointed at Lin Mai with his chin: "I didn't see that our sister-in-law was pregnant, but you still scared her.
At least you should apologize to her, give her a bonus of 10,000 yuan, and let my sister-in-law buy some supplements to calm her shock."
Jia Qinglai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I'll just do it."
Then he slapped Lin Mai in the face and apologized to her repeatedly.
Seeing that the corners of his mouth were bloodshot, Lin Mai waved his hand: "Okay, let's go."
Jia Qinglai then left uneasily, and the curly-haired man followed him.
When he went out, he complained that Jia Qinglai should not have caused trouble and dragged him out of their small circle to show off his power.
As a result, he, the dignified boss, was being called around like a dog by the big brother, and he lost all face. He was told not to follow him in the future.
Jia Qinglai cried sadly, knowing that he had been kicked out of the circle, and in his heart he scolded all the eight generations of the foreman's ancestors.
Lin Mai stood up and expressed his gratitude to the big boys.
The big boys all waved their hands: "Sister-in-law, you're welcome.
If there is anything my sister-in-law can't resolve in the future, just call us directly."
After that, everyone left her their business cards.
After the big boys drove away in the jeep, Lin Mai's eyes fell on the foreman for several seconds, making him tremble.
Lin Mai withdrew his gaze, turned to Jiao Yingjun and said: "Since this guy has violated the contract, then come up according to the contract, tell him to get out, and all the deposit will be confiscated."
The foreman was anxious when he heard that. If all the deposits were confiscated, it would be better to let him rework the unqualified parts of the building. At least the loss would be smaller, and he could still earn subsequent wages.
He immediately wailed and asked Lin Mai to let him go out of consideration for being a fellow from Hu Province.
There are many dialects in Hu Province, and not all of them are familiar to Lin Mai.
After listening for a long time, she recognized the dialect of which part of Hu Province the foreman was speaking.
She seemed to have heard this dialect spoken by someone before, but she couldn't remember it.
Whatever he couldn't remember must be unimportant, so Lin Mai just forgot about it.
She snorted coldly at the bastard foreman: "Since you know we are fellow villagers, why do you still want to trick me?"
The foreman was trembling and said bravely: "It's not that I cheated you, it's that Mr. Lin is too honest.
Although I replaced the thick steel bars with thin steel bars, they were only a little thinner and had no impact on the quality of the house at all.
I have worked on several construction sites, and there is no construction site that does not cut corners or cut corners. Otherwise, how can I make a lot of money?
As for Mr. Lin, he must be honest and insist on Ding, Ding and Mao.
As long as you don’t cut corners too much, it really won’t have any impact on the house.”
Lin Mai sneered: "I believe you, you are so bad.
As long as corners are cut, there will be safety hazards. You really took me for a fool!
Even if there are no problems now, there will still be problems in seven or eight years."
In her previous life, she had seen many cases on the Internet where buildings she had lived in for seven to eight years, or even more than ten years, suddenly collapsed, or the balconies broke off on their own.
Isn’t this just cutting corners when building a house, and safety problems will arise a few years later?
The foreman said nonchalantly: "If something goes wrong after seven or eight years, it will have nothing to do with you."
Lin Mai said coldly: "But it has something to do with my conscience. You can leave. This matter has been decided."
The foreman said hurriedly: "I will redo the part of the project where corners were cut."
Lin Mai said coldly: "It's too late. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. There won't be a second time."
When Foreman Hu saw that Lin Mai was more ruthless than Jiao Yingjun, he felt regretful.
If I had known if I had listened to Director Jiao from the beginning and reworked the unqualified parts of the building, the losses would have been smaller.
I really shouldn't take any chances and think that my boss is a woman who is easy to bully.
If a friend who moves out of Beijing's circle can scare her to death, she won't dare to hold herself accountable.
Unexpectedly, Jia Qinglai, whom he invited from the lower-level Beijing Circle, would be killed in minutes by Lin Mai, the elder brother from the higher-level Beijing Circle.
In the end, the foreman had no choice but to leave in anger.
Lin Mai asked Jiao Yingjun very puzzledly: "I remember that when you recruited the foreman, you did not recruit this person named Hu. How did he get in?"
Jiao Yingjun said: "It was a big contractor I recruited who subcontracted part of the project to him."
Lin Mai said decisively: "Fire that big contractor. Our projects will never allow subcontracting."
When Fang Zhuoran returned home from get off work, Lin Mai had already gone home.
As soon as he came back, he asked Lin Mai if the matter had been resolved, and Lin Mai gave him an OK gesture.
Fang Zhuoran hugged her and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't go to the construction site again.
There is too much dust at the construction site and it will affect the baby in the belly."
Lin Mai nodded: "I know everything you said.
I didn’t know where I got such a big anger, so I rushed away angrily when I heard the news.
Maybe it’s because I’m pregnant and can’t control my emotions.”
Fang Zhuoran touched her little head distressedly: "Thank you for your hard work."
.......
The family had just finished dinner when Aunt Tu came in and said to Lin Mai: "Mai Zi, there are people outside looking for you. I don't know them, so I don't dare to let them in."
Lin Mai asked: "Have you asked who they are?"
"When I asked, the two people refused to tell me at first. When they saw that I was about to close the door, they told me that they were mother and daughter.
Because you helped that daughter, they are grateful to you, and they specially prepared a generous gift to thank you today."
Lin Mai immediately guessed that it was probably Aunt Fu, mother and daughter.
She specifically told the head nurse not to tell Huihui and his wife that she was the one who gave the money. It seemed that the head nurse did not keep the secret for her.
Lin Mai described the looks of Aunt Fu and her daughter, and asked Aunt Tu if her mother and daughter looked like this.
Aunt Tu nodded: "Yes."
When Lin Mai first helped Huihui, he never thought of asking her to thank her. He just sympathized with her and didn't want her to suffer.
Now I don’t even want to hear her say thank you and accept gifts from her mother and daughter.
She said without warmth: "Go and tell her mother and daughter that I won't see them.
This matter has just passed. They don’t need to take it to heart and don’t come to my door in the future.”
Aunt Tu turned around and went out to convey her words, but came back within seven or eight minutes.
Tell Lin Mai that she has sent the mother and daughter away, but someone is looking for her again.
The person who came to Lin Mai this time was Jia Qinglai, who came to give her a shock red envelope of 10,000 yuan.
Lin Mai accepted it generously and donated the money to the welfare home the next day.
Doudou is already over six years old, and will be seven in January, and is old enough to go to school.
Lin Mai spent a day taking her to a nearby primary school to register, and then went to a shopping mall to buy stationery.
In this era, those with non-local residence registration have to pay a tuition fee to study in the capital.
The borrowing fee is not cheap, but fortunately Lin Mai is rich and doesn't care about the small amount.
After registering Doudou, Lin Mai planned to lie down and relax.
School will start in ten days, and she has to catch up on her career and study.
But Lin Mai lay very unsteady, always feeling like he had an unfulfilled wish, but he couldn't remember it.
Fortunately, she would write down some important things in her notebook to prevent herself from forgetting.
She took out her notebook from the bedside table and flipped through it. Sure enough, she had forgotten something important.
That is, the twin daughters who had been promised to Leader Xie would be given a gold necklace each if they were admitted to college or junior college this year.
Lin Mai quickly dialed the number of leader Xie, and the person who answered the phone was Xie Yuan, the second oldest of the twins.
She excitedly told Lin Mai on the phone that she and her sister Xie Fang were both admitted to the same college.
It was obvious that he had forgotten to ask her which university or college the sisters had gone to, but Lin Mai would not tell anyone even if she was rotting in her stomach.
She said angrily on the phone: "You and your sister are so good that they were both admitted to a junior college, but you didn't tell me. I would be sad."
Xie Yuan said aggrievedly: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, my sister and I both want to tell you, but dad won't let me~"
Lin Mai looked at his watch. It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon. Logically speaking, Leader Xie should have returned from get off work.
But Leader Xie is a senior executive in the banking system, and his position is higher than Dad Bai's.
It is impossible to get off work on time like ordinary employees, and sometimes there are social activities.
But Lin Mai tried to ask: "Is your dad off work? I want to have a few words with him."
Just as Xie Yuan was about to say that her father hadn't come back yet, she heard the sound of the door being opened, and then the sound of her father and her mother talking.
Xie Yuan raised her throat and said to her father: "Dad, Sister Maizi is looking for you."
Leader Xie handed the briefcase in his hand to his wife, walked quickly to the sofa, sat down, and answered the phone.
Lin Mai said: "I just had a phone call with sister Xie Yuan and I heard that both of her sisters have been admitted to junior college. I'm very happy to congratulate you!"
Great leaders are all talented people.
Although Lin Mai didn't mean to blame Leader Xie in her words, she didn't have the guts to blame him.
But there was a sense of grievance in his words. His twin daughters were admitted to junior college, but he did not inform her. This meant that he did not regard her as one of his own.
