Gong Suren's brick factory was located in a winery, and the winery was just a place name. It was located between the streets of Yong 'an Town and Pingxi. There was indeed a winery here that brewed the local corn wine, but that was more than twenty years ago.
"Masters, come, come, have a cigarette. Hurry up and install bricks for me.”
Cao Wu smiled as he handed cigarettes to the workers. Then, he squatted at the side and drank the mineral water in one gulp. He took a puff of his cigarette.
Outside, Li Gang's car had finally left. Cao Wu and Gong Suren were naturally happy that no car had stopped at the entrance of the brick factory for the past two days.
Gong Suren was a businessman, so his daily output was limited. Even with the limited output, he still couldn't transport the bricks out. It was really depressing. Now that Yang Tianyou's car was finally gone, Gong Suren was naturally happy.
Cao Wu was just a truck driver. He only earned some transportation fees. If his truck was stuck in the brick factory every two or three days, he would be anxious.
The workers earned money from hard labor. If they didn't have bricks to produce every day, their income would decrease. Now that the traffic was finally open to traffic, they wouldn't need Cao Wu's instructions. They would also do their best to produce more bricks so that they could get more money.
Gong Suren came out of the office and saw Cao Wu squatting there and chatting with a few workers. He smiled and greeted,""Cao Wu, come up, come up!"
Cao Wu replied with a smile and ran to the office upstairs. As soon as he sat down, Gong Suren took out a bottle of Red Bull from the refrigerator and threw a pack of cigarettes to Cao Wu. He smiled and said,"Since bricks are coming out from outside, why don't you come to the office and sit? What's the point of squatting outside?!”
"Brother Ren, you're too polite. You're always giving us cigarettes.”Cao Wu chuckled, but he still put away the cigarette.
"You can't say that. We're all brothers. It's all thanks to you that you came up with this idea. Yang Tianyou didn't come looking for trouble, and we can still make money. It's really satisfying.”Gong Suren laughed.
Cao Wu's smile suddenly disappeared." Brother Ren, although we didn't do this, we are still involved. Right now, the people from the Good Friends Association and the police station are investigating this matter. Only the two of us know about this. Don't tell anyone, or else it will be troublesome!”
"That's right, that's right. We're brothers after all. If I still say it in front of outsiders, then I'd really be a fool!”Gong Suren nodded.
Cao Wu continued," That's strange. Yang Tianyou hasn't been looking for trouble with us these past few days. What do you think he's doing?" "Logically speaking, with his personality, he definitely won't give up just like that. This guy is purely a scoundrel. I think this matter isn't over yet. You have to be more wary of him, in case he comes up with some despicable methods to deal with you. You can't use common sense to measure such a scoundrel. He's used to using unscrupulous means."”
"I know that, but I don't know what he has up his sleeve. We can only wait and see. No matter what, this is a normal business competition. He can't possibly get people to smash my brick factory, right? Besides, if he really wants to be unreasonable with me, I might have to go to the county government to sue him. If the county government doesn't solve it, I won't come back. I'll just squat in the county head's office every day!”Gong Suren frowned and said fiercely.
Cao Wu chuckled and said," It's fine. We'll just use force to block the water and drown the earth. No matter what tricks he has, we'll slowly resolve them. I don't believe that he can hide from the sky with one hand. He asked you to close the brick factory, but you refused to do so. If you're capable, he'll give you 100,000 yuan a month, and you'll close it, haha!"”
"Forget about 100,000, I'm willing to close the brick factory for 60,000. I'll also save a lot of energy to deal with him. It's just that a person like him will never give me such a high price!”Gong Suren laughed.
"Haha, that's not necessarily true. If we continue to fight like this, he won't be able to get any benefits. If it really doesn't work out, you might as well invest more money and make the brick factory bigger and stronger.”Cao Wu laughed.
Gong Suren shook his head and said with a bitter smile,""A daily production of 100,000 bricks is no joke. My brick factory only has a total investment of about 300,000 yuan. If I really want to produce 100,000 bricks a day, I'll have to invest more than 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. How can I have so much money? Even if I can, my mountain farm is not wide enough. Besides, Yang Tianyou's actually right. Our Yongan Town's market is only so big. If I can produce 100,000 bricks a day, the market will probably not be big enough. When the bricks can't be sold, the money will be invested. That would be a huge loss."
"I don't understand this, haha!" Cao Wu handed a cigarette to Gong Suren.
Gong Suren changed the topic and suddenly asked,""How's business recently?"
" Not bad. My client is in Dehan City. He's transporting materials for him. The price is not bad, but the road is too bad. I can't transport a few carts of sand and stones every day. He needs materials tomorrow, so I've been urging him for many days. You see, I haven't been able to transport bricks for him these few days, so I'm in such a hurry to transport bricks for him today. Otherwise, he'll ask for more. I haven't received a single cent. We agreed to pay him in one lump sum after the house is repaired. I've already paid more than 10,000 yuan for the materials. Sigh." It's not easy for us to do this!" Cao Wu sighed.
Gong Suren said," It's not like you're the only one paying for the materials. All the drivers operate like this. Why are you complaining about suffering? Haha. Alright, if you run out of money, just let me know at any time. It's convenient to pay a few thousand yuan at any time. Don't be polite with your brother."”
"Brother Ren, I am extremely grateful for your words.”Cao Wu laughed.
The two of them chatted for a while before a worker who was producing bricks shouted from below.
"Master Cao, the bricks are ready!"
Cao Wu stood up and said goodbye to Gong Suren. He really couldn't afford to delay any longer. He ran downstairs, handed a few more cigarettes to the workers, and immediately reversed the car out.
Cao Wu lit a cigarette as he ran on the road. He turned on the music in the car and hummed a tune, looking very pleased.
However, he didn't notice that there was a Geely car not far behind him. It was Xiang Yanming's car, and the people sitting in it were Xiang Yanming, Yang Tianyou, and Niu Wazi.
"Yang Tianyou, are we really going to do this?" Xiang Yanming was still a little hesitant." Cao Wu and Zhang Jian are relatives, and Zhang Jian is also a member of our Good Friends Association. When he comes to ask for favors, I'll feel a little embarrassed."”
"What's there to be afraid of? Let me do the things that offend people. You're always taking care of everything. If the brick factory makes money, you also get a bonus. Gege, don't say that. Just do what I tell you to do. Don't you believe me or what?”Yang Tianyou scolded him jokingly.
Niu Wazi chuckled." Brother Xiang, just listen to Brother Tian. He's the boss anyway. Whatever he says goes."”
"That's right. I'm the chairman. I have the final say.”Yang Tianyou laughed strangely.
"Dong your sister, I'm still the general manager. Besides, your chairman doesn't have the right to transfer my truck, right? My truck doesn't belong to the brick factory, and I'm not your driver.”He scolded Yan Ming.
Yang Tianyou chuckled and handed a cigarette to Yan Ming.""Cut the crap. Where's your truck?”
"It's done." Xiang Yan Ming said.
"Then let's send Cao Wu to Han City first, then we'll hurry up and drive to catch up. Oh right, Niu Wazi, bring a deck of poker cards later, buy some snacks, and play Fight the Landlord later. Also, bring some money.”Yang Tianyou smiled and started to assign tasks.
……
Dehan City was also known as Dehan Mountain. It was said that Liu Bang, the emperor of Han Dynasty, was the king of Hanzhong. He recruited the people of Bo to pacify Sanqin. Prime Minister Xiao He stayed in Bashu to provide food for the army. With this as a stronghold, he stored grain and stationed troops. He defeated the overlord of Western Chu, destroyed Chu and revived Han, and gained the world. Hence the name Dehan City.
However, as time passed, Dehan City no longer had a city. It was surrounded by steep cliffs, old stone fortifications, mottled moss, and stone inscriptions that appeared and disappeared from time to time. They silently recounted the long time, witnessed the change of dynasties, and the rise and fall of personnel.
Dehan City was also a famous place in Yong 'an Town. Yong' an Town was now boasting about the construction of the Red Army City. Dehan City was an indispensable part of it because the Red Army had once stationed in Dehan City. It had also set up the Red Army Hospital, the county government, and other institutions.
Many people saw the future development of Dehan City and were willing to build their houses on this mountain. A chopstick road meandered all the way to the top of the mountain. The so-called chopstick road was actually a cement road, but it was no more than five meters wide. There were many weeds on both sides of the road, and the actual width of the road was only about four meters. The middle one meter width was not made into a cement road. In order to save money, only the places where the tires might pass were paved with cement. From afar, it looked like two white chopsticks. Therefore, the locals called this road the chopstick road.
This kind of road was a test of the driver's driving skills. A slight carelessness could cause the tires to sink into the mud ditch in the middle of the road. The road was also curved. In addition to the spacious space for the car to pass at every interval, if two cars collided on the road, one car could only move backward and retreat to the place where the car could pass to maintain smooth traffic. Therefore, the trucks that usually got on the road in Seoul would honk their horns from afar to avoid bumping into the car.
Cao Wu turned off the music as soon as he got on Chopsticks Road and drove carefully. Fortunately, the road was smooth. He was lucky today as there were no cars on the road.
After reaching the mountain and unloading the bricks for the client, Cao Wu drove down the mountain without any rest. The client said that he still had to pull two carts of bricks and a cart of sand. Otherwise, he would not be able to start work tomorrow.
Cao Wu lit a cigarette and slowly went down the mountain. It was much easier to drive an empty car. This time, he turned on the music and hummed a little tune. He looked quite comfortable.
However, he didn't maintain this kind of satisfaction for long before he cursed,""Fuck!"
After turning a corner, Cao Wu immediately braked. Not far in front of him, a large truck loaded with sand and stones stopped on the road. On the empty space beside the truck, three men were fighting fiercely.
Needless to say, these three people were Xiang Yanming, Yang Tianyou, and Niu Wazi.
There was a stack of money in front of each of them. A few pieces of newspaper were spread on the stone slab. The three of them sat on the ground with cigarettes in their hands, beer beside them, and a lot of snacks. It looked like they were having a picnic. They completely ignored Cao Wu who had stopped.
Cao Wu's expression turned ugly. Although he was from Jade Creek Village, he also pulled salad bricks in Yong 'an every day. Naturally, he recognized the three of them, but they were just acquaintances.
He was still in a hurry to carry bricks and sand for his client. If the car was blocked here, he would not be able to get on or off. Moreover, when he thought of Yang Tianyou, Cao Wu felt a little uneasy, as if he had a guilty conscience. He quickly jumped out of the car and ran to the three of them. He frowned and said,"Brother Xiang, is your car broken?"
Xiang Yan Ming didn't pay attention to it at all, directly throwing out two two-cards and shouting,"Haha, Yang Tianyou, I'm going to give you two orders. Wahaha, Niu Wazi, kill him and send him to me!”
"What are you being arrogant for!" Yang Tianyou sneered,"I'll kill you with a pair of King Bombs!"”
……
Seeing that the three of them were fighting so enthusiastically and completely ignoring him, Cao Wu's expression became even uglier. However, he did not dare to flare up. He only took out cigarettes and handed them to the three of them. Then, he sat to the side and said with a smile,"Oh, you guys still have a sense of romance. You came to this desolate mountain to fight the landlord? You even brought so much food. Are you having a picnic?”
After a round of Fight the Landlord, Xiang Yan Ming raised his head. His face was dirty from the engine oil, and his hands were also covered in engine oil. He stared at Cao Wu and smiled."Oh, so it's Cao Wu. Sigh, don't mention it. The car broke down. It can't be fixed in a short time. I'm tired of fixing it, so I asked Yang Tianyou and Niu Wazi to bring food to play Fight the Landlord with me!”
Cao Wu was stunned. Damn it, did the car really break down? Or was he acting? If she was acting, she didn't have to make herself look like this, right?
Yang Tianyou took a puff of his cigarette and looked at Cao Wu with a smile.""Brother Cao, business is good."
"Factory Manager Yang, what business do you have? You're just making a living here. Why are you sitting here playing Fight the Landlord and there are people making money for you in the brick factory?”Cao Wu smiled bitterly.
Yang Tianyou nodded and smiled." It doesn't exist. Haha, why don't we have a fight? Niu, let Cao Wu play a few rounds. We have nothing to do anyway."”
Cao Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry." I'm still busy carrying salad bricks for clients. I'm not as relaxed as you guys. Xiang Yanming, why don't you move the car back and let my car get off!"”
Xiang Yan Ming looked at Yang Tianyou and smiled, but he didn't say anything.
Cao Wu's frown deepened. He seemed to have a sudden thought as he looked at Yang Tianyou. The latter smiled and said,""Is there anything wrong with your ears? Didn't Xiang Yanming say that the car broke down and couldn't move!”
"What's wrong? You're not fooling me, are you?" Cao Wu's eyes flashed.
"What's wrong?" Yang Tianyou chuckled. It would be great if he knew where the problem was. He didn't see Xiang Yanming's face full of engine oil. Anyway, he hadn't found out where the problem was! As for whether or not he was bluffing, you can judge for yourself!”
"Then call the mechanic over!”Cao Wu was furious. If he couldn't repair the car, he couldn't just block him here, right?
Yang Tianyou smiled." I called. The mechanic went to the city to restock. He won't be back today."”
"What?" "Then how long do you need to park this car?" Cao Wu was shocked.”
Yang Tianyou smiled sarcastically." I don't know about that. Anyway, we might not be able to drive today. But it doesn't matter. We have nothing to do anyway. Fight the Landlord. It's getting late, so we'll go home."”
Cao Wu was so angry that he was about to spit out sh * t. Damn it, you guys are fine, but I'm in big trouble!
(The first update is out. There will be second and third updates later. Damn it, Old Fish has never been in such a sorry state.

Otherwise, you won't be worthy of Old Fish's golden signboard and the support of your brothers. Do you have any red tickets?) Did he collect it?
