Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 355 Luo Ning Takes Charge (2)

Aren't you afraid they'll sue you?

Luo Ning was slightly taken aback, then gave a thumbs up, "Not bad, Quan Jin! There are a lot of people who are ignorant of the law these days. Most people don't even think of using the law to protect themselves. That's my method. They're thugs, and what they're most afraid of is going to the police station. They won't report me."

Besides, so many men were beaten by a woman like me who can't even kill a chicken. Who would believe that?

There's nobody around here except you and me, and some thugs. There are no eyewitnesses, so their own testimonies don't count!

Quan Jin was impressed; Luo Ning's brain was truly brilliant.

"I'm afraid they'll learn your methods and use them on the spot, so you should be careful!"

Quan Jin's concerns were not unfounded. Luo Ning readily agreed and could give them a surprise if necessary.

More than an hour later, the second group, led by honest-looking middle-aged men, returned.

Quan Jin felt it was all a bit surreal; how did they get back?

Luo Ning glanced at Quan Jin and lowered her voice to explain, "They were probably forced into it by life's circumstances or coerced into joining the gang. They're not inherently bad, so they'll come back!"

Quan Jin suddenly realized that following Luo Ning was a great way to broaden his horizons.

The middle-aged man distributed the tools, and the people with the tools began to work in shifts, switching to another group when they got tired.

Luo Ning and the Quan family sat under the shade of a tree by the roadside, acting as wicked overseers, almost as if they were about to grab a leather whip.

In the eyes of many thugs, they are such a glorious and heroic figure.

Luo Ning glanced at the thugs working and casually asked, "Quan Jin, how much did it cost to buy the land? I'll give it to you."

"No, I didn't spend any money!" Quan Jin subconsciously shook his head, changing the subject.

"You didn't cook for the old man. When he remembers, he'll definitely yell at you!"

Luo Ning sighed, realizing she had forgotten about it.

The Quan family didn't want money, so we had to compensate them in other ways.

Although they are allies now, they cannot take advantage of the powerful; only by reciprocating favors can the relationship be maintained in the long run.

The two sat on one side and chatted casually, mainly Quan Jin raising his life questions and Luo Ning providing insightful answers.

By noon, neither group had returned, a result that did not surprise Luo Ning.

She stood up, dusted herself off, put away the protection money, and pushed her bicycle toward the main road.

Quan Jin followed her, and unconsciously looked back, only to find the thugs whispering among themselves, "Luo Ning, aren't you worried they'll run away?"

"We're going to let them run!" Luo Ning's eyes crinkled into a cunning smile.

"Huh?" Quan Jin was confused. If they ran away, who would do the work?

Luo Ning couldn't help but chuckle. "Making them work is just a temporary punishment. We don't expect them to keep doing the work forever. We can't trust the work they do. Those who want to run away will always find a chance. It's better to be generous and give them a chance."

Those who aren't willing to work will cause trouble on our turf! We'd rather they just get lost!

That makes perfect sense! Quan Jin nodded. "After this elimination process, those who remain will be the ones who can actually do the work!"

Luo Ning shook his head, avoiding the pebbles on the road. "It will take at least three days. Only those who can persevere are the real workers. Don't forget that they are slackers who do nothing all day. Many people can't handle such heavy physical labor."

Those who can endure it are basically either forced into prostitution or have no other choice. Pay them wages every day, and they'll persevere!

Quan Jin glanced at Luo Ning; Luo Ning was still very kind!

Luo Ning and Quan Jin went to a restaurant and packed a large bucket of porridge and several bags of steamed buns and mantou to deliver to the construction site, only to find that there were only about 30 thugs left.

“I was worried there wouldn’t be enough food, but hehe…” Quan Jin scratched his head, deeply impressed by Luo Ning’s wisdom, and carried the porridge bucket to the shade of a tree.

Luo Ning took the steamed buns and dumplings off the car and shouted to the thugs who were standing there watching, "Comrades, time to eat!"

The thugs looked at each other, never expecting that they would get food while working! Almost simultaneously, they put down their tools and walked towards the shade of the trees by the roadside.

I'm really hungry after working all morning.

Luo Ning found the honest-looking man in the crowd who was buying tools. "What's your name?"

"I... I'm called Niu Ershuan!" the middle-aged man stammered, his soul trembling as he gave his name.

Luo Ning picked up two bowls, handed one to Quan Jin, filled two bowls with porridge, and used chopsticks to skewer four steamed buns and two mantou.

"Niu Ershuan, come and distribute the food to everyone. Three steamed buns and one baozi per person, and unlimited porridge!"

So many? Niu Ershuan was a little stunned. He hadn't had a full meal in months.

He only came to his senses after being shoved by the people behind him, and nodded as he distributed the items to everyone.

Luo Ning sat under the shade of a tree, holding a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun. She ate the bun and porridge with gusto, her mouth greasy.

Quan Jin followed suit, admiring Luo Ning's carefree attitude and ability to adapt to any environment.

Luo Ning caught a glimpse of Quan Jin's carefree demeanor out of the corner of her eye, and secretly thought to herself that the hope for the third generation of the Quan family definitely rested on the eldest young master.

After the meal, Luo Ning told everyone to rest until 2 PM before continuing their work, and promised, "Anyone who works a full day today will earn three yuan, and anyone who works a full month will earn one hundred yuan. Those who are willing to work, come and report at 8 AM every morning. Lunch will be provided, and work will end at 6 PM. Payment will be settled at the end of the month. Those who are unwilling to work, you can leave now!"

Her words were like a bomb, striking the hearts of everyone and creating a huge wave.

After hesitating for a long time, five or six people left, while the remaining twenty-five strongly expressed their determination to stay and work there.

Luo Ning promoted Niu Ershuan to foreman, putting him in charge of managing the group and giving him instructions on discipline. Then he and Quan Jin rode away on their bicycles.

People like Niu Ershuan can only work as laborers; to build a house, you need to hire professionals.

Luo Ning and Quan Jin rode their bikes around Jidu for a long time, searching for a barely acceptable construction team with some experience.

As luck would have it, they came from Ji'an Town and lived in a village near Qujia Village. Luo Ning quickly learned about their family history in just a few words.

When fellow villagers meet, there's no tearful scene; Luo Ning is a rational and pragmatic person.

She took out the design drawings from her jeans pocket and squatted down to teach the contractor Zhou Yingen how to read them.

The training was so thorough that the foreman quickly became a skilled worker.

Zhou Yingen rubbed his hands together in amazement. He had never seen it done this way before; he used to just lead his men and work in silence...

"Zhou Yingen! If you do a good job this time, I'll give you more work to do later!" Luo Ning handed him the blueprints and made a big promise to him.

"And I will never delay payment, but the condition is that you have to give me a good job, otherwise, hehe... Also, the blueprints cannot be leaked or damaged, I will need them later!"

"I understand, Comrade Luo Ning. Don't worry, I will definitely lead my brothers to do a great job for you!"

He and Luo Ning were from the same hometown, so he wasn't worried about not getting paid. Besides, having blueprints was much better than working blindly like before. They could just follow the instructions and move the materials down. This job was easy!

"Alright, you can start work tomorrow morning!" Luo Ning handed over the task of finding laborers to Zhou Yingen, asking him to lead the work.

However, if they didn't behave, they were allowed to leave. After agreeing on the start and end times of the work, the provision of meals, and the price of the project, they left together with Quan Jin.
