Chapter 236: Merchants pursue profits, regardless of life or death
After walking out of Mr. Xie's office, Chu Yang felt a little uneasy, as if there was a trap inside.
But what can I do?
Xie Chou is Mr. Xie's son, his only son. Could he really cut off his electricity and prevent his hydropower station from connecting to the grid?
Moreover, Mr. Xie also said that Director Wu would be dealt with seriously, but there was no further action.
Isn't it obvious that he is supporting his son?
Chu Yang is not stupid. Although Mr. Xie did not say it explicitly just now, his meaning was very clear.
I am considered as Mr. Xie's "secretary" and I certainly cannot go against his wishes.
Early the next morning, Chu Yang was still worried. After thinking it over, he decided that he must first understand what the reward would be. So Chu Yang applied for a car and took Sister Lian from the department to the Niudong Reservoir area to take a look.
Why do we need to bring Sister Lian? You all know it. Of course, it is to let her lead the way, because Sister Lian is from Niudong. Otherwise, you would think that Chu Yang is here to work.
Sister Lian wanted to sit in the back seat at first, so she pulled Chu Yang to the front passenger seat: "Sister Lian, why are you running to the back? Talk to me in the front, or I'll start to feel sleepy."
"Oh." Sister Lian was very nervous when she got in the car, as if something was installed under her skirt, squeezing her legs.
"Wear a seat belt." Chu Yang reminded her, and she slowly put on the seat belt. However, her beautiful brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was worried about something. The seat belt was put on her delicate body, like a ribbon, revealing the layers of her figure, with its peaks and ridges.
Seeing her expression, Chu Yang asked with concern, "What's wrong? Sister Lian doesn't want to go to the countryside with me?"
Sister Lian blushed slightly, her eyebrows flashing with panic: "No, no, it's just that I still have a lot of work to do."
"I've asked Sister Li to take over your job, so you don't have to worry about it. Just follow me to the countryside today."
"Oh, okay." Sister Lian seemed to be relieved and pulled the seat belt with her hands. It might be because the pressure was uncomfortable, as the seat belt was slightly deformed due to passing through the high mountain peaks.
“Sister Lian, you should know about this Niudong Reservoir, right? Do you know the way?” Chu Yang brought her with him for a purpose.
"Yes, I've been there before when I was a kid. I know where it is. The water flow is still very large, but there were no hydroelectric power stations at that time."
"Then you lead the way."
The journey was extremely bumpy and there was little opportunity for in-depth communication.
When we got near the hydroelectric power station, we heard the buzzing sound of the hydraulic engine.
Chu Yang went in to take a look, only to find that there was almost nothing inside. It was just a simple large water pump, a turbocharger , a transformer, and of course a voltage transformer.
They didn't even bother to install a basic microcomputer protection device. It was so crude that it gave Chu Yang the feeling of a makeshift hydropower station. There was no technician in the entire hydropower station, only one or two local villagers guarding it.
After Chu Yang went in, he took out his camera and took some pictures. Two migrant workers ran out and stopped Chu Yang: "What are you doing? Why are you taking pictures?" People nowadays still have a strong sense of protection. They looked so aggressive, as if they were going to fight.
Chu Yang quickly showed his work badge and said, "I'm Chu Yang from Aiguo Company. I'm here to see your power generation site."
However, the two men were still relentless and came back forcefully to snatch Chu Yang's camera: "I don't care who you are, you are not allowed to take photos here, delete the photos for me immediately."
Chu Yang was cornered by them.
At this time, Sister Lian suddenly called out: "Uncle San, she is our director. "
At this time, a man stopped, looked at Sister Lian, and said in surprise: "Xiao Lian? Why are you here?" It turned out that this man was Sister Lian's third uncle.
"Director Chu from our department and I came out to inspect this hydropower station. Please don't make things difficult for him. He is the office director of our company." Sister Lian stepped forward to communicate. It seemed that they were relatives.
The two men's expressions eased a little, and they said awkwardly, "Director Chu, I'm sorry, our boss told us not to let anyone in casually, and we saw you taking pictures, and we don't know what you do."
It's indeed different when there are acquaintances around. When Sister Lian saw her uncle, she didn't seem very happy and even felt a little awkward.
Chu Yang also replied politely: "It's okay, uncle, are you maintenance personnel?"
The man replied, "No, we don't know anything about this. We are just security guards. Mr. Xie built a substation and asked us to help him look after it. He paid us 1,000 yuan a month. Anyway, there is no harvest from farming now, so we came to guard it."
Chu Yang was a little surprised that there was not even a maintenance worker at a hydroelectric power station: "Do you have the qualifications for this electrician?"
The two men scratched their heads: "Where can we get these?"
Chu Yang found it even more difficult to understand: "What if the water pump breaks down, or the line fails, will you handle it? If our dispatcher orders them to stop generating electricity, will you be able to do it?"
A man said with a smile: "We know how to stop the water pump. Boss Xie briefly explained it to us. We don't know the rest and we can't control it."
Holy shit, the more Chu Yang listened, the more horrified he felt. In order to save costs, has it become so rudimentary? Connecting such a hydropower station to our company's power grid will be a major hidden danger at any time. The switch here doesn't even have any protection. Won't it trip at that time?
Damn, this reward, this money earned is a bit shady.
After walking around the hydropower station and secretly taking a few photos, Chu Yang and Sister Lian returned.
In fact, the Third Uncle asked Chu Yang and Sister Lian to stay for dinner, and also asked Sister Lian to go back to the village to take a look. From what the Third Uncle said, it turned out that Sister Lian had not been home for the New Year for five or six years.
However, Sister Lian gritted her teeth and shook her head, forcibly pulling Chu Yang away.
After getting in the car, Chu Yang asked Sister Lian with doubt: "Sister Lian, why do you seem to be afraid of seeing your family? Did something happen?"
Sister Lian didn't want to say it at first. She glanced at Chu Yang for a few times and then answered with a choked voice: "Hey, I'm a divorced woman. This is the most taboo in the village. They say all kinds of ugly things. Moreover, they think I divorced because I couldn't give birth to a son and my husband abandoned me."
Chu Yang really didn’t know that Sister Lian had experienced such a thing.
I didn’t know what to say in my heart, and Sister Lian cried more and more sadly.
Chu Yang had no choice but to park the car on the side of the mountain road and comfort her.
I don’t know how, but the two of them hugged each other, looking at Sister Lian with her eyes closed, her face red, her head tilted, her shy expression, her sexy red lips, her plump big balls…
Chu Yang naturally couldn't help but kiss her.
Sister Lian was a little shy at first and kept her lips tightly closed, but she soon softened.
He began to lose consciousness and slowly responded to Chu Yang.
…
At night, Chu Yang had just returned to the dormitory when he received another thank-you call: "Brother Yang, I heard that you visited our hydropower station today. Why didn't you notify me and let me entertain you? You are not nice enough."
It seems that word of this reward has spread.
Chu Yang answered directly: "Xie Chou, you should have told me about the grid connection. You are not considerate. And I saw your hydropower station today. It doesn't seem to be in good condition. There is not even a protective device. It does not meet the current requirements of the power grid. If you were not Xie Chou, I would have cut off your power now."
Xie Chou immediately said honestly: "Come out and chat for a while, we'll have another drink."
Chu Yang went anyway.
After they got there, Xie Chou put his arm around Chu Yang's shoulders and said affectionately, "Brother Yang, you should understand this, right? We only make money during the rainy season. If it doesn't rain in three or four months, the reservoir will be dry and we won't be able to generate electricity. How can we invest so much money? You're also in the electricity business, so you should understand this principle, so that's why I asked you for help."
Businessmen are profit-driven and really don't care whether you live or die.
"If you do this, something bad will happen. Would your father let you do this?" Chu Yang was indeed a little angry and felt that he had been fooled.
Xie Chou was a little impatient when he talked about his father: "Brother Yang, I'm making my own way in the world outside, and I can't rely on the old man's help. I rely on you brothers in distress. My old man, he is doing me a favor by not taking my job."
"Xie Chou, you really can't do this. This hydropower station doesn't meet the conditions for grid connection at all. It can't handle the heavy load. We have to shut it down."
"Brother Yang, give me another two months. You can see the money flowing in now. It's all money. I earn 10,000 yuan every day. Brother Yang, how about I split it 37% with you?"
"Thank you for the reward. This is not about the money."
"Brother Yang, how about 46?"
"It's not a reward."
"Brother Yang, this is a bit too much. I really don't have any money to earn at 55."
Chu Yang was really defeated and didn’t want to talk. He would talk to Mr. Xie tomorrow.
The thank you reward was also very generous, and he even took Chu Yang to a club.
He also called a few girls over to drink with him.
Chu Yang had his legs nearly broken by a girl sitting on them.
Seeing Xie Chou skillfully bantering with the girl, Chu Yang realized that Xie Chou was quite good at playing and he had underestimated him.
After drinking a few cups, Chu Yang felt something was wrong and left.
