Chapter 343: The Omen of the Coming Storm

Human nature, most of the time, cannot stand the test.

Especially for ordinary people, life is like a puddle of mud, and once you fall into it, you can't get out.

Luo Ligao really wanted to rush in and tell his second uncle that he had an enviable high salary at Pinxixi, sometimes three or four thousand, sometimes six or seven thousand.

As long as he continues to work hard to get promoted and get option rewards, he may be able to save enough money to make up for the debt, even if the perpetrator is not his family.

All the things that happened at the construction site are in the past. Whether the construction company has given up, or the lawsuit is successful but no one enforces it, life must go on.

But he didn't dare to make a promise lightly, because the cost of treatment and rehabilitation was astronomical, and his father and cousin's health would not last until the day when the options could be cashed in. He hated his own incompetence!
The conversation in the room continued until the voice issued an ultimatum: "... I have said everything that needs to be said. We are a non-profit charity, whether you do it or not.

The promised rehabilitation treatment for your son will be fulfilled. Do you want to call him now to say goodbye?"

"My cousin was taken away by a charity organization for treatment?"

Luo Ligao was confused when he heard this outside the door. "Why doesn't anyone know? Besides, where is this charity organization that would encourage people to deliberately bump into something?

What is their purpose?"

He knew that his second uncle had some ideas and that there was hope for his cousin's recovery, but the huge medical expenses of hundreds of thousands were an astronomical figure that an ordinary family could not afford in their lifetime.

The construction company refused to pay compensation, and their family had spent their last penny. They could not afford the treatment, so they brought the patient back to wait for death.

It was not until last year that an accident occurred in the village. A villager met with misfortune on the national highway. The party at fault plus insurance compensation amounted to more than 20 yuan. What was seen as a disaster by others actually gave my second uncle a horrible new idea.

He actually tried it, and luckily nothing happened. He was only severely beaten up by a passing truck driver, who finally threw five old man heads at him and drove away.

(This is what the author saw and heard while doing business. It’s a sad story. In the end, there is only a sigh.)
My second uncle is an honest man. He suffered a trauma in his heart and didn’t dare to continue stopping cars on the national highway. However, the idea of ​​exchanging life for life was planted in him and it was difficult to change.

He then ran to the door of the Pinduoduo warehouse on the outskirts of the city, trying to find a car to create an accident, so as to get enough compensation for his cousin's life-saving medical expenses.

It sounds sad, but this is the reality and no one can change it.

Hearing that the people inside were about to leave, he subconsciously turned around and wanted to escape, until he heard his second uncle tremblingly say~
"But, that's where Li Gao eats. I can't do that. I can't harm him!"

"Big boss, rich guy, where I work?"

Luo Ligao's mind was filled with a horrifying thought: Are these people coming for the big boss?

"Yes, yesterday, a notice was sent in the Hummingbird Chengdu group, saying that the big boss would come to Chengdu for inspection today, and asked the remaining colleagues to show 200% work attitude..."

No one would associate this news with Li Zehua if they heard it, but it just so happened to be such a coincidence.

Luo Ligao is both a deliveryman for Fengniao in Chengdu and a temporary part-time worker at Pinxixi in Yibin, and this incident happened to his closest relative.

If there is any mismatch, no one will associate this matter with anything.

"How to do?"

He hid in the firewood pile and watched a man push the door and leave. He also watched his second uncle's thin body shivering in the snow, but he didn't have the courage to go up and comfort him.

He didn't know how to start, and there was even a voice in his head that compromised: You can't control it, and it's just a bump.

My second uncle is having such a hard life, isn't this a relief? His family is the same. Now there is finally hope of saving my cousin's life, should I go out and stop it?
Why should we stop it?
The big boss is very rich and treats his employees very well. As long as something goes wrong, he will definitely give money for compensation.

This charity has already taken my cousin in for treatment, and maybe the compensation will be enough to save my father's life as well.

He was only in his early 30s and still had a lot of prime years ahead of him. His father had been bedridden at home for a whole year, and the family savings had been emptied out by his father's medical treatment. The savings that had been invested in the construction site were lost, and his wife took the children back to her parents' home.

I'll wait until I've dealt with all the chores before going to pick him up. As long as my second uncle runs into me, I won't have any worries.

If you want to blame someone, blame the boss for the financial loss or even retribution.

"It's retribution! They are all liars. Jiandan Ai Mutual Aid Fund said they would help employees in need, but they didn't help me!"

There was a fire burning in Luo Ligao's heart. He was only thinking about how to get out of his current predicament and even forgot the regret that the auditors were unable to help him.

"Luo Ligao, it's not that we don't want to help, but this is not in line with the purpose of mutual assistance. Your family is indeed in difficult conditions, but there is a compensation judgment document here, with hundreds of thousands of compensation.

At most, I can report this to the higher authorities and they will provide some subsidies out of humanitarian concern. If you need it, I can apply for legal aid from the group and help you apply for compulsory execution..."

"It's all a lie. Rich people are all the same. They don't care whether we live or die. Legal aid sounds good, but who will enforce it? It's all a joke!"

Luo Ligao is also a human being and he also has moments of emotional breakdown. His father was paralyzed due to family misfortunes, his cousin got into an accident and his second uncle collapsed, and his wife and children left him - all of these things are difficult for ordinary people to bear.

He carried it all on his shoulders without saying a word. In order to make up for his uncle, he emptied his last coin, but it was still useless.

I asked the company for help but was turned away. Can I get legal aid?
He never believed in this stuff. If it really worked, why no one helped him after so long since the verdict was announced?

They are all nice-sounding and deceptive, just like the Jiandan Ai Mutual Aid Fund Raising. Why are there colleagues around me who got approval without even writing an application and got support from the group?

And he, just because of an extra compensation document, couldn't get even a penny...

"What happened to Luo Ge?"

Lao Tian and the driver glanced at him from time to time, but he didn't respond when asked. Only Luo Ligao occasionally cast his eyes on the piggy bank while the two of them were discussing smartphones.

For a moment, he even wanted to pick up the jar and run away. There were 60,000 to 70,000 yuan in it, enough to pay for his cousin and father's medical expenses for half a year, and also save his second uncle's life.

Can anything good come from crashing into a car?
He didn't wake up until the truck stopped in front of the bank and Luo Ligao mechanically entered the bank holding the piggy bank.

Fortunately, he did not behave irrationally. He followed the bank staff's instructions like a zombie and made several mistakes due to absent-mindedness. Fortunately, Lao Tian helped him get things done smoothly.

It was already 2:30 in the afternoon when he returned to the store. As Chinese New Year was approaching, the store was very busy. Manager Zhang greeted him quickly when he saw him come back.

"You're back just in time. I just received a notice that the big boss will come to inspect in person tomorrow..."

Luo Ligao thought he had made up his mind and replied weakly, "Oh."

Manager Zhang asked curiously, "Hmm? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Kind of."

"Can you handle it? Do you want to rest for half a day?"

"No, I'll go to the warehouse to help first."

"Okay, then you go over. Oh, I forgot to mention that the district office just called and asked you to fill out a form to apply for group legal aid.

The company is planning to invest in building a big data information processing center in Yi B in the near future, and a lawyer happened to come here to handle legal documents.

You are lucky to have met them. I heard that they are all famous lawyers from Shanghai. With their help, your problem will definitely be solved..."

There is a high possibility that the boss will pass by our store when he comes to Yi B, because he received a notice that he will inspect the terrain on both sides of the Yangtze River.

The company had sent someone to select a site before, so he knew a little about it.

"no need."

Luo Ligao was very depressed. He didn't know how to start the conversation, so he just refused directly.

Manager Zhang was stunned. Seeing that he had no intention of explaining, he looked at him strangely and thought that he was just not feeling well, so he sent him to help in the warehouse.

It's called helping, but actually it's just letting him have a rest, because there is usually nothing to do in the store warehouse in the afternoon, and the distribution will not be arranged until after get off work.

As for the receiving and loading and unloading of inventory, all of this is done in a large warehouse not far from here, which is also the headquarters of Hummingbird. When Luo Ligao went there, there was only one warehouse manager guarding the warehouse.

After a simple greeting and finding a place where no one was around to lie down, Luo Ligao was thinking about what he should do.

Gaojiazhai was not a wealthy place, and human money was not valuable here. He had heard since he was a child about troubles happening everywhere, and there were many cases of people causing big troubles for a little money.

But when it really happened to him, it was still hard to accept, especially when his second uncle, who once treated him like his own son, had to exchange his life for a future, his heart ached.

In a trance, I seemed to hear the longings of my colleagues chatting again. Hummingbird is really a conscientious company. I have never seen such a kind-hearted boss. Just through Simple Love, it has helped more than a thousand people in the past year.

The boss has never been stingy with their salary and benefits, and he even uses his own money to set up a mutual aid fund to help colleagues in need. The donations to school students alone amount to hundreds of millions a year.

The fear of losing his loved ones and the reluctance to give up the high-paying job and benefits were like a double pressure on his chest, making Luo Ligao toss and turn and unable to calm down.

In particular, he suspected one thing from the bottom of his heart: what did that non-profit charity mean by instigating his second uncle to crash into the thing?
Since they have the ability to pay for my cousin's medical expenses, why would they do such a thing?
Since my second uncle has decided to take this path, why is he still hesitating? What does he mean by being afraid of affecting his work?
Luo Ligao had too many doubts. He didn't hear much, and the limited information sources didn't allow him to analyze much. His head was about to explode.

He stood up and paced back and forth, and smoked a cigarette at the back door, trying to calm his restlessness, but all he tasted was bitterness. It was difficult for an ordinary person like him to make a difference in the torrent of the secular world, so he could only go with the flow.

But at the same time, no one will give up hope easily. Can the big lawyer from Shanghai really help their family apply for compulsory execution and successfully get compensation?
……

Outside Chengdu Airport.

Li Zehua received the two sisters Shen Wanyi and Shen Wanqing who had just flown in from Shanghai.

"Thank you for your hard work. Just give me your luggage."

Without caring about his status at all, he reached out to take the luggage and stuffed it into the trunk.

To him, Shen Wanyi and Yu Li are completely different from other people in his heart. Yu Li is a comrade-in-arms who is willing to work hard with him to build his empire.

Shen Wanyi happened to be at a special moment of rebirth. She looked soft and cute, a perfect combination of purity and desire. But she was still a little tsundere at heart, and had never asked for help from me until today.

The more this happens, the more obsessed I become.

Even if I had the opportunity to be alone in a room, I would not rush to swallow it all in one gulp, but instead enjoy this kind of equal communication and warmth without too much material interference.

Shen Wanyi was still wearing the clothes she bought when she was working before. Her temperament was enough to support everything. Even if it was just a cheap windbreaker worth more than 100 yuan, it looked charming on her.

Others wearing cartoon watches are childish, but for her, it is pure and beautiful.

Shen Wanqing is completely different from her sister. In just one semester, this once slightly restrained girl has undergone tremendous changes in her temperament, appearance, and dress.

With Chen Xiaomin's encouragement, Li Zehua never forgot to give her some pocket money every time he went to see her at school.

Well, it's all Zhang Tao's fault. He likes to carry a big bag when he goes out. Just in case, he always prepares 100,000 yuan. He just takes out a stack at random, I don't know if it's 10,000 or a few thousand, and forces him to give money away if he doesn't want it.

During the weekend, Shen Wanyi sent him back with a sullen face, but Li Zehua enjoyed it very much. He turned around and took the little girl for a stroll on the street. Of course, Chen Xiaomin, the military advisor, was always there to give advice.

When Shen Wanyi was still using a big brick Nokia, Wanqing was holding the Panda Z10 that outsiders were trying their best to get, and it was a customized top-of-the-line pink model.

Because of this, the two sisters had many quarrels before the holiday, and they also scolded Chen Xiaomin, who also had a top-of-the-line mobile phone.

"Thank you for picking me up, brother."

"You're just here by chance, hurry up and get in the car, not this one, the one behind."

"No."

Li Zehua looked at Shen Wanqing, who had occupied the only two seats in the back row, with a bad temper. He really had no idea what to do.

In the end, only Wang Fei appeared in the world injured. He did not dare to compete with the big boss for the passenger seat. He had originally planned to report on the industrial investment in Rongcheng in the car, but had to give up.

"...I came to Chengdu yesterday. I traveled through eight provinces and cities from the Magic City. It's a pity that I can't travel with you."

Turn the passenger seat around and face Shen Wanyi.

But there is a light bulb next to me staring at me all the time with wide eyes, so I can only hold my hand to relieve my longing.

Shen Wanyi was a little uncomfortable showing intimacy in front of her sister, but fortunately her eyes spoke volumes, and she responded with a gentle look of pity, and everything was said without words.

Shen Wanqing didn't care about all that. She was a fearless person. She could even argue with her mother in her hometown and defend her right to study.

Avoid the misfortune of getting engaged and married early.

I don’t want to go home even during holidays, home?
Where my sister is, that is home.

Deep in my memory of Daliang Mountain, it is a cage that I want to escape from even in my dreams.

"Brother, why don't we not go? It's nice to spend the New Year in the Magic City."

Shen Wanqing rolled her eyes and quickly came up with an idea. She listened to her sister, but her sister was not the most powerful one. Even though Shen Wanyi had her own bottom line.

That depends on the person. Facing Li Zehua, he had to give in again and again. Otherwise, where would he get the beautiful phone in his hand?

"There are mountains everywhere, and there is no hope in sight. Even cars cannot go in. You have to walk a long way up the mountain road. Besides, there is nothing to see..."

Facing the pitiful look in her eyes, Li Zehua smiled and couldn't help but tap her head, "No matter how difficult it is, it's still home."

"Yes~"

Shen Wanqing still wanted to struggle, but was instantly forced back by a look. Facing her sister's suppression, she didn't even have the qualifications to raise her hand to fight back.

"Be good and listen to me. If the car can't get in, I will accompany you on the mountain road."

Li Zehua thought it was funny, but he didn't defend it. Instead, he offered his own solution, "Just once this year. Next year, let the old man take Zi'an to Chengdu for treatment."

"Listen to me, whether you rent or buy a house, and arrange a relatively easy job for the old man nearby, so that it will be convenient for us to go home together in the future."

With just the last sentence, he settled everything.

Shen Wanyi's feelings of being moved did not happen overnight. Most of the time, she clumsily tried to refuse or escape. But when Li Zehua personally expressed his vision for the future, she could not help but be deeply drawn to it.

If it's not the wrong occasion~
Li Zehua can personally feel the emotional changes of the person in front of him, but with another person next to him, it becomes difficult to deal with.

Just when he was about to think of a way to get rid of this burden, Zhang Tao saved him and also destroyed all his beautiful fantasies about what would happen next...

The convoy temporarily drove out of the airport highway and stopped at a secluded road. Everyone's faces changed drastically and their nerves were tense when Li Zehua got out of the car.

"…Speak slower, I'm listening."

The person on the other end of the phone was Xie Bin, who also serves as the director of the Southwest Region. He was currently in Gu Shijie's office at the Shanghai headquarters.

"...Chairman, this is what happened. The person who broke the news is Luo Ligao, the leader of the distribution team at the Chengdu Fengniao Chenghua Avenue station. He has been taken into custody.

Mr. Gu, would you consider returning to the Magic City first and let us handle the rest?"

Li Zehua suppressed his anger, showing an unprecedented horrified expression, and said word by word: "From now on, all those who know about this matter will be controlled to prevent the news from leaking out.

The rest is not for you to consider."

After saying this, he suppressed his anger and called Zhang Tao over, "How many people are absolutely reliable?"

Zhang Tao said without hesitation: "Including here, there are about 80 people who can be transferred immediately, and about people who can arrive tomorrow. If they are not enough, they will have to be transferred back from Hong Kong."

"That's enough. First transfer all the people here and apply for weapons permits from Rongcheng."

Li Zehua clenched his fists tightly. In his two lifetimes, this was the first time he felt his bottom line had been crossed.

Just as Xie Bin guessed.

What kind of non-profit organization, under the guise of free treatment, would threaten a desperate father with his son’s life and attack his own convoy at the cost of his own life?

If the incident really happened, would he cold-bloodedly command the convoy to continue moving forward in front of so many employees and without knowing the potential danger, so as to leave the danger zone and deal with it later?

What would happen if I got out of the car and calmed everyone down?
A peanut carefully prepared for yourself, or a dump truck running amok with brake failure?
The phone call from Anhui Province was just to advise me to be more vigilant, because they only vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but did not have any substantial evidence.

For this purpose, he raised the security level around him by more than one level. More than thirty bodyguards with the same family background who were easier to control and were gradually becoming his confidants were transferred over.

And now, this group of hyenas hiding in the darkness are baring their fangs little by little!

"Hello, this is Li Zehua from Qingyun Group. Please connect me to the General Office of the Fifth Military Command. I want to speak to Deputy Director Xiang. My special pass number and password is..."

After a long time, the phone rang again after being hung up, "Mr. Li, this is the Rongcheng Governor's Mansion..."

"No need, the exposed sewer rats can be killed easily, they won't annoy anyone..."

Li Zehua breathed a sigh of relief. The life-saving talisman he had worked so hard to obtain finally did not disappoint him. "Thank you for your concern, Minister. Please give my regards to the leaders who took the time to ask about this despite their busy schedules..."

After hanging up, another call rang.

"Mr. Li Zehua, right? This is the Six Gates Headquarters of Sichuan Province. Our Censor wants to speak to you personally..."

Shen Wanyi and Shen Wanqing, two sisters, sensed the uneasiness before the coming storm from the solemnity on everyone's faces! (End of this chapter)
