Li Er smiled wryly and took out large and small red plastic bags from his suitcase. After checking again that nothing was missing, he got into an official car of the Public Security Department.
“Officer Li, can you leave?”
The person in charge of driving Li Er was Li Jiangang. Li Er knew that Yang Jianhua wanted to monitor him, but he had no way to refuse.
“Let’s go! Sanshui Mass Textile and Garment Factory.” Li Er nodded and said.
“Comrade Jiangang, we are from the same family, you can just call me Li Er. Don’t call me Officer Li, it sounds awkward.” Li Er said in a very ‘approachable’ way.
“Okay, Officer Li!” Li Jiangang started the car.
Li Er: “…”
“Officer Li, I don’t know where the ‘Sanshui Mass Textile and Garment Factory’ you mentioned is.” After Li Jiangang drove the car for a distance, he remembered that he didn’t know the road.
'Depend on!'
Li Er handed a small piece of paper to Li Jiangang: "Look at it, it's the specific address."
Li Jiangang frowned when he looked at the small note, said nothing, and continued driving.
The car drove for three hours before reaching its destination. The road was mostly dirt roads, which made Li Er feel dizzy.
“Holy shit, this is the garment factory that Fei Laodong boasted to my boss about its success?” Li Er looked at the small dilapidated factory in front of him speechlessly.
“Children, come here, do you know where Fat Man Dong is?” Li Er saw a little boy with a naked butt running past, and quickly waved to call the little boy over.
As soon as the little boy saw the police car, he immediately straightened his shoulders and straightened his waist and shoulders, imitating the tone of an adult and said angrily: "Uncle policeman, I don't know."
“Do you know where your factory director is?” Li Er grabbed a handful of candies from the bag and stuffed them into the kid’s hands.
The little kid immediately beamed.
“I know, the factory manager is my uncle, he cooks for everyone in the canteen.” The little kid said proudly. He wanted to put the candy into his pants pocket, but when he looked down, he realized that he was not wearing pants.
“Fa Lao Dong!” Li Er walked into the dining hall and found that the person cooking the dishes was indeed Fe Lao Dong.
“Hey! Fat guy Dong, you’ve lost weight!” Li Er said with a grin.
“Li Laoer?”
Li Er's temperament changed a lot. Fatty Dong looked at him for a while before he recognized Li Er.
"You really came to the mainland. Brother Yi mentioned it to me on the phone. I thought it was a joke." Fat Laodong looked at Li Er in surprise. He instinctively retracted his hands behind his buttocks and wiped the oil on his hands with a somewhat expression on his face.
He smiled in embarrassment and said: "Sit down! Is this your friend? You haven't eaten yet! Let's open at noon, it will be ready soon!"
"This is comrade Li Jiangang from the Provincial Public Security Department, Officer Li. I'm here to take care of business. I'll take care of my personal affairs as well." Li Er said with a smile. He had already seen the environment of the factory on his way to the canteen.
The operating conditions of the factory in Feilaodong are not very good.
“Comrade Li, hello, hello!” Fei Laodong skillfully took out a cigarette and took out a lighter.
“Sorry, I don’t smoke.” Li Jiangang waved his hand: “Officer Li, I’ll wait for you outside.”
“No, no, you go back first! I don’t know how long I’m going to stay here. I’ll call you when I’m done.” Li Er shook his head and smiled.
Li Jiangang firmly refused: "It's okay, this is my job."
“…” Li Er looked at Li Jiangang’s back and was speechless. In order to monitor him, Yang Jianhua found a godly man.
After Li Jiang just walked out of the canteen, he ignored the fierce sun in the sky and walked directly to the open space where Li Er could be seen.
“Lao Er, what’s going on?” Fei Laodong asked in astonishment.
Li Er shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not very sure either."
“This is the souvenir that my elder brother asked me to bring you.” Li Er smiled and put the big and small bags in his hands on the table.
Fat Laodong was filled with joy when he heard that Li Yi had brought him something. He opened a few bags and saw that most of them were some specialty ingredients from Hong Kong Island, cigarettes and tea, as well as various candies and biscuits.
Fat Laodong suddenly frowned and looked at Li Er with a puzzled look on his face: "That's not right! How could Brother Yi buy these things?"
“My sister-in-law bought it. My boss didn’t tell you. Did he marry a wife?” Li Er spread his hands and smiled.
Fat Laodong's face froze and he shouted excitedly: "Why didn't you notify me when Brother Yi got married? When did this happen?"

“The banquet hasn’t been held yet. It’s not like you don’t know who my boss is. He must have asked you to serve the banquet, and I might even ask you to be the best man.” Li Er patted Fat Man Dong on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Where is the bride from? Do I recognize her?" Fei Laodong asked gossiping: "The bride bought these. Thank you very much."
“Of course she’s Chinese! Where is she from?” Li Er said perfunctorily. This guy really didn’t know where his sister-in-law was from.
Fai Laodong: "..."
“Fa Laodong, let’s sit outside! There’s no air conditioning here and we don’t have to buy a fan. It’s so hot!” Li Er said, changing the subject.
“Hui Zai, go to the kitchen and help.” Fei Laodong called a young man with a sallow face: “Tell your wife to share those candies with everyone. Every worker must have some.”
“Okay! Brother Dong!” Huizai nodded respectfully.
"My brother went to buy fabrics. I'll introduce it to you when he comes back. That's my cousin. He's never seen the world. He only moves one step after shouting." Fatty Dong looked at Huizai's back and shook his head: "Fortunately, I'm not afraid of hardship.
, he is willing to do any dirty work in my factory."
Li Er smiled, Fat Laodong's change was really big, at least his potbelly was reduced by more than half, and his double chin was gone.
"By the way, Brother Yi asked you to come to me. Is there anything you need my help with?" Fat Man Dong asked with some embarrassment. This guy's current environment is not good, but if Li Yi really wants to help, Fat Man
Dong will still find a way.
"It's okay. I need help! My elder brother said that I haven't seen you for a long time and asked me to stop by to see if you have successfully lost weight." Li Er smiled and patted Fat Man Dong's belly: "Hey! You have achieved great results.
!”
“Speaking of serious matters!” Fatty Dong slapped Li Er’s hand away.
Li Er's face straightened up with a smile: "My eldest brother asked me to see if you wanted to help. He said you were hesitant on the phone."
“Hey!” Fatty Dong scratched his stomach.
The life of Fei Laodong is indeed difficult now. There is a problem with the operating conditions of his factory. The goods are selling well, and the workers are working every day. However, it is difficult to recover the payment for the goods sold. Fei Laodong is now almost dying.
There is no money to buy materials.
Li Er has long noticed that Fat Lao Dong is not doing well these days. When Fat Lao Dong was in Hong Kong Island, although Fei Lao Dong was also very slovenly. His white vest could be worn as gray and rolled up under his armpits, but Fei Lao Dong's hair had always been
They were all combed meticulously, but nothing was as messy as now.
Although Fat Man Dong has never run a factory, he also knows that workers cannot be owed wages. This does not mean that Fat Man Dong is noble. It is just that the two hundred people in this guy's factory are all fellow villagers in his village.
, arrears wages to fellow villagers, Fei Laodong still feels that he cannot afford to lose face.
"Brother, Zhang Haibin's wholesale department is willing to supply us with goods, but he said that we can only allow us to pay up to five thousand yuan for the goods in advance, and we have to settle the previous account before we get the goods." A dark-skinned young man walked towards the fat man.
Laodong: "Also, Zhang Haibin said that his tigress must not know about this."
"Second brother, this is my younger brother, Chen Nan." After the fat man introduced his younger brother to Li Er, he turned to Chen Nan and cursed: "Calling someone! You don't have any eyesight. This is eldest brother's friend from Hong Kong Island."
, call me second brother."
“Second brother!” Chen Nan seemed to be used to being shouted at by the fat man Dong Hu, and nodded to Li Er awkwardly.
“What’s more! What’s so exciting about that Zhang Haibin who rushes to the street to advance fabrics for us? His goods are the most expensive in the entire textile wholesale city.” Fei Laodong cursed angrily.
“But we have no money!” Chen Nan muttered softly.
Fato Dong gave Chen Nan a hard look and told him to shut up.
"Fa Lao Dong, my eldest brother asked me to come. In addition to watching you, I also want to pay back the hundreds of thousands of yuan you lent him before." Li Er said, taking out a brown paper bag from his backpack and handing it to Fe Lao Dong.
When Li Er came, he and Li Jiangang went to withdraw RMB.
“Ah——!” Fei Laodong looked overjoyed, and then frowned and asked, “Brother Yi, if he comes out with so much money at once, it won’t have any impact, right?”
"The business in my factory is actually pretty good." Fat Lao Dong ignored Chen Nan's desperate winks and pretended to be relaxed, spreading his hands to Li Er and saying with a smile.
“Why don’t you ask how the business of my eldest brother’s restaurant is going?” Li Er looked at Fei Laodong and asked funnyly.
Li Yi is right. As a passerby, Fei Laodong is naughty, wordy, and greasy, but as a friend, Fei Laodong really has nothing to say.
“The business of the restaurant should be average! Brother Yi never mentioned business on the phone.” Fei Laodong looked at Li Er and asked.
“With my eldest brother’s personality, do you think that if the business is good, he will show off to you on the phone?” Li Er saw that the fat man didn’t accept the money, so he casually put the brown paper bag on the table.
Fato Dong shook his head: "No."
“Then if business is bad, will my elder brother complain to you on the phone?” Li Er asked, spreading his hands.
“That’s definitely not the case!” Fei Laodong shook his head decisively: “Brother Yi will take care of everything by himself.”
"That's it. Now I can tell you for sure that the business of Li Ji Tea Restaurant is very, very good, beyond your imagination." Li Er said with a proud smile: "Now just the branches of the restaurant,
We have opened more than 30 stores, and we have joined a large group, so it will only get better and better in the future."
“Li Laoer, are you kidding??” Fei Laodong shook his head in disbelief.
"I'm serious, as long as you are willing to return to Hong Kong Island for development, with your friendship with my eldest brother, if nothing else, there is absolutely no problem in letting you be the manager of three or five branches." Li Er said with a smile.
, speaking of which, Li Ji Tea Restaurant is what it is today, thanks to the start-up capital borrowed by Fei Laodong and the generous transfer of the store.
Fat Laodong reached out and touched Li Er's forehead, and then his own forehead.
