What's wrong with this lawyer?!

```

"If this doesn't work out, we won't be able to take on contracts like this anymore."

On the other end of the call, Gao Qingwen put down his phone, his face instantly turning dark. What was Li Fugui? In his eyes, the man was nothing.

And yet now, he had to offer money to the man himself; what kind of world was this!

After hesitating for a long time, he still dialed Li Fugui's number.

On the other side, Li Fugui had already left Qinglv County.

Because he wasn't very educated, so whatever Tang Fangjing told him to do, he did.

Moreover, he mainly did odd jobs here, that is, what we call daily wages. Now, many migrant workers are like this; without a daily settlement, they simply don't work.

Whatever talk of settling accounts at the end of the year, who knows what the situation would be like by then, and nowadays it's not that the contractors aren't willing to pay, but that the contractors themselves can't even front the money.

And as for the idea that contractors incite migrant workers to demand payment, sorry, that's called causing trouble. Because it's the project funds that are being sought after, it's rare for there to be any issue with workers demanding wages since it's the contractors they go to for payment...

Just like before, Li Fugui found a daily wage job in Xiping City and got to work without telling his daughter.

Today was just like any other day; he had just finished his work and was resting when his phone rang. Picking it up, he saw it was a call from that last name Gao station manager.

Li Fugui was stunned, the station manager actually called him!

It wasn't that he didn't believe Tang Fangjing, but what he said was a bit too outrageous. Li had already given a stern warning, saying that if he wasn't paid, he would fight for it.

Still, the other party hadn't given him a penny.

Then to say that the other party would beg him to take money, in Li Fugui's eyes, that was impossible...

After thinking it over, Li Fugui answered the call. It wasn't that he was agreeing to anything; he just wanted to hear if the station manager Gao would actually beg him to take the money.

"Hello? Hey, it's Fugui brother, right? I'm Gao Qingwen. Are you busy right now?"

That voice and tone were so bewildering to Li Fugui, was this really the same Gao Qingwen who had cheated countless people?

This was the man who never had a good attitude when speaking to the delivery riders at the station, but no choice, the delivery job paid well, people were constantly leaving, and just as many were coming to apply.

Gao Qingwen, not hearing a response on the other end, rambled on by himself, "Fugui brother, I know you've got complaints about me, but you know, those penalties and rules weren't set by me."

"Right? The penalty money doesn't even end up in my hands, and about you taking leave without approval, the deduction was according to the rules."

"We can talk things over, no need to make a fuss, right? Now, how about I make up for those few thousand you're owed, and then you drop the lawsuit, stop making trouble with San He company, okay?"

"If it's all good, I'll add you on WeChat and transfer the money to you right away, no delays."

Little did he know, Li Fugui was truly astonished. The other party seemed to be finding excuses, but he wasn't dumb. It was clear that this was a call specifically to give him money.

Just like Lawyer Tang had said!

After thinking it over, Li Fugui said, "There's a problem, I don't want your money now."

What? Gao Qingwen on the other end of the call was taken aback, the usual condescending attitude emerging subconsciously.

"Li Fugui, what do you mean by this? Initially, you were the one pressing me for money, now I offer you the money, and you refuse, what's your intention?"

Li Fugui hung up the phone right after hearing this. What could it mean? He just wouldn't accept it, that's all.

After hanging up, he casually blocked the other party's phone number and everything else, that should do it, right?

In Qinglv County, Gao Qingwen listened to the tone from his phone, Li Fugui actually hung up on him? Was he no longer interested in the money?

But on second thought, it seemed that his brother-in-law, Zheng Xingfa, wanted him to handle it himself. Damn it, truly, what was wrong with that Tang Fangjing, meddling in such trivial matters?

How could Li Fugui seem like someone who had the money to afford that kind of lawyer? Five thousand yuan probably wouldn't even cover a fraction of the lawyer's fee...

Something was off about that lawyer, what was he really after?

Regardless, the problem still needed a solution. He tried calling again, and at first, he could get through, but as soon as they heard it was Gao Qingwen looking for him, the calls were promptly ended.

Gao Qingwen was completely out of options. It wasn't a problem of money. It was that the other party didn't intend to talk to him at all, so what was he to do?

With no other choice, Gao Qingwen had to call his brother-in-law Zheng Xingfa again.

In the office, Zheng Xingfa listened to Gao Qingwen and completely lost his temper.

"Gao Qingwen, what did I tell you before? Is this how you're handling things for me? Do you really have to screw me over to be happy? How many times have I told you, be nicer to those riders!"

"What have you done? Tell me, what have you done?"

After another round of berating, Zheng Xingfa wished he could storm into the station and kill that dog-like creature once and for all—though killing him wouldn't solve the issue.
