14. You Asked For It
"Hm, how come there's no answer? It's
around 12 right now, so it should be lunch
time. My dad and the others are remodeling right now and they usually take a break during the noon, so he should be able to answer the phone"
Han Sen looked doubtfully at his cell phone's screen and pressed the 'Cell Phone
Location Searcher Function'. The screen of
the phone quickly displayed a map of Yang
Zhou city. The small red dot on the map
represented Han Sen 's cell phone's location, while the small green dot represented his father's.
"Not too far from where I am now"
Han Sen knew in an instant where his
father's current location is and couldn't
help but to let out a smile, "I'll run to my
dad's side and tell him in person about the
good news"
Han Sen quickly went to the location
displayed on the cell phone's map.

Zhi-An region, Sky Garden sector.
"Hurry, hurry and move those things so
you can go take a break and eat lunch. We
should go eat some food too" In one of the
private villa's lawns in the sector, Zhang
Hao Bai, pale and wearing long, white
pants, urged the workers on. He even had
three cold faced bodyguards by his side.
"Mister, don't rush, this furniture is
extremely valuable. Don't underestimate it,
get some more people and work a bit
harder!" A truck was parked by the private
lawn and had a lot of sealed wooden
furniture.
Wooden furniture in these days are
extremely valuable and expensive. They
are a luxury item which belong to few.
Because, all the humans live in cities.
There are very few places to plant trees,
and most of trees are for decoration.
Although there are many trees outside the
city, many monsters are there too. The
price for lumber is extremely high, since
you will have to fight monsters to get it.Most people's furnitures these days are
made out of plastic, while some of the
better ones are made out of glass.
A normal family wouldn't be able to afford
wood products.
"Be careful"
The remodeling company's workers
carefully moved the heavy furniture from
the truck to the ground. After that, three
of the workers would carefully move the
furniture into the lawn.
"Be careful" Zhang Hao Bai frowned and
reminded, "This is furniture made out of
real, high quality wood. If you break it,
you'll surely get in trouble with your boss"
[HU, HU]
The three workers carefully moved the
furniture. The furniture was extremely
valuable and heavy, around a thousand kg.
It's a bit of work for these three workers to
move it.
"Stop and rest for a bit. Move it into the
house in one breath later" The worker lifting in front ordered, "Put it down here
for now. Slowly, lightly" The three workers
slowly put the furniture on the lawn. Only
after doing so were they able to straighten
their backs and take a good breath of air.
"Old Han, I'm already hungry after doing
that" A tall worker started stretching his
body.
"After moving this and two more pieces of
furniture, we'll be done. After that, we can
all eat together" Han Hong Guo laughed as
he looked at the two other workers. He
wiped his sweat off with his shirt. It was
June and almost 1 PM, so it was the hottest
time of the day.
For the three of them to move a valuable
piece of furniture that weighs 1000 kg, it
surely was bitter work.
"Work faster!" Zhang Hao Bai ordered
impatiently.
"Alright" Han Hong Guo bended down to
grab onto the furniture, "Guys, work hard
and move this piece of furniture in""Come, one, two, three, up!"
Han Hong Guo and his group lifted
together and carefully went up the steps.
They quickly entered the house and came
out soon after. When Han Hong Guo and
his group walked past Zhang Hao Bai,
Zhang Hao Bai frowned after smelling the
sweat emanating from them.
"Poor people will be poor people, doing
this kind of bitter work. They'll have a
bitter life for the rest of their lives" Zhang
Hao Bai thought to himself.
Zhang Hao Bai's dad was rich, so he was
born into a wealthy family. Zhang Hao Bai
has always looked down on those of at the
bottom of society. To him, those willing to
do these kinds of bitter work have no
fighting spirit and deserve to live through
their bitter days.
"Careful, don't touch the gate"
Han Hong Guo and his group carefully
moved the furniture step by step. Their
shirts were drenched in sweat. A droplet of sweat leaked down from a head and rolled
down into their necks.
"Rest for a bit outside of the home" Luo
Hong Guo put the furniture down and
adjusted their breathing.
"Go, one, two, three, up!"
Even though Han Hong Guo and his group
were tired, they've been doing this for 20
to 30 years, so they're used to it. They
know their limits, so mistakes rarely occur.
Soon after, Han Hong Guo and his group
went to move the final piece of furniture.
"It sure is hot" Zhang Hao Bai raised his
head and looked towards the sky, "Brother
Wang, we'll go eat at a nearby restaurant
later"
"Thanks young master" The three bodyguards laughed in reply.
Zhang Hao Bai glanced at the final piece of
furniture the three workers were carrying
and let out a snort from his nose. He
naturally hated these kinds of peasants.
Suddenly, his gaze landed upon the marble used for pavement. One of the tiles had a
crack, which was accidently made when he
sparred with his bodyguards a few days
ago.
"Hm?" Zhang Hao Bai's eyes flashed, "I was
low on money recently and now's a good
chance to make some!"
At this time, Han Hong Guo and his group
were busy moving the third piece of
furniture.
Suddenly--
A cell phone started ringing, Han Hong
Guo, who was currently moving the
furniture, rejoiced in his heart: "It must be
from Feng" However, since Han Hong Guo
is moving furniture, he can't answer the
phone. He'll have to call back after he puts
the piece of furniture down.
"Rest for a bit outside the house, lightly,
slowly" Han Hong Guo and his group slowly
put the furniture down.
Han Hong Guo took the cell phone out of
his pocket. Looking at the display, the call was indeed from his son. He let out a smile
and preparing to call back.
"What's the problem with you guys?"
"Hey, we told you guys to be careful, what
are you guys doing?" A voice of anger rose.
Han Hong Guo and his group turned their
heads in surprise and only saw Zhang Hao
Bai's gloomy face. Zhang Hao Bai was
angrily pointing at the marble: "Is this how
you do things? Since you guys weren't
even focusing, look, my home's pavement
was broken by you guys. This is Nan-Shan
marble, which was bought outside the city.
One piece of marble would cost around a
hundred thousand dollars, can you pay
that? HUH!!!"
Han Hong Guo and his group lowered their
heads and looked--
Indeed, on the pavement towards the
road, one of the marble had a small crack.
"Hmph, I'll call your company's boss.
What's with this" Zhang Hao Bai fumed, "Brother Wang, you have their company's
phone number right? Call their company
and get their boss over here! There's no
point in talking with these people
anymore"
"I have their company's phone number
here" The bodyguard named Wang
immediately took out his cell phone and
started dialing.
Han Hong Guo and his group were well
acquainted.
"That's wrong" The large worker
immediately said, "The crack on the
marble was already there. I saw it"
"Making excuses? There is no fucking point
in making excuses" Zhang Hao Bai laughed
loudly.
Han Hong Guo frowned. As an
experienced, old worker, he knew these
kinds of disputes were the most
troublesome. The company usually highly
values its reputation. If their reputation is harmed and the company has no evidence
to prove that their workers didn't make
the crack, then usually the company can
only pay for the loss.
If the company pays money, then the
money will be taken out of the salary of
the three workers responsible.
"Let's move the furniture in first and then
talk" Han Hong Guo spoke as he went to
lift the furniture.
"Move the furniture?"
Zhang Hao Bai stepped forward and
shoved Han Hong Guo and started
lecturing the three workers, "Don't play
tricks! The furniture on the marble is the
proof! You want to move the furniture in
and then play dumb? I've seen these petty
tricks all the time. Wait for your boss to
come and then talk"
"Old Han, old Han"
The other two co workers went to help
Han Hong Guo up.
"No problem" Han Hong Guo brushed off his shoulder.
"How could you guys shove people"
"We aren't even sure if we broke the
marble, what's the meaning of shoving?"
The other two co workers immediately
glared and spoke in anger. These people
who do these kinds of work fear nothing, if
they are angered, then a fight would occur.
Even if they get jailed by the police, they
only want money and not their lives, so
even the police cannot deal with them and
will eventually release them.
"Don't try and argue with me!" Zhang Hao
Bai's two legs were like lightning and kicked the two workers' stomachs.
[PU! PU!]
The two co workers flew away and fell on
the ground.
"Hmph, you don't know who you're arguing
with" Zhang Hao Bai laughed coldly. His
Zhang family in the Zhi-An region had a
wide range of contacts. Even if he beat up some regular workers, nothing would
happen.
"Old Tian, Big Monkey, are you okay?" Han
Hong Guo was getting nervous too.
"Young man, how could you do this?" Han
Hong Guo said angrily.
Zhang Hao Bai frowned after smelling Han
Hong Guo's sweat and waved: "Brother
Wang, you guys teach them a lesson so
they'll be quiet"
"Young Master, the remodeling company"
The bodyguard named Wang handed over
the cell phone.
"Okay" Zhang Hao Bai waved his hand and
the three bodyguards immediately went to
beat up the three workers, while Zhang
Hao Bai held the phone, "Yes, I am from
the sky garden. Let your chairman Hou
take the phone. Chairman Hou, what's the
problem with the three workers you sent
today? They are sloppy and cracked open
my lawn's marble pavement. Hurry up and
send people and sort this out. If you don't figure this out, don't expect any money!"
While the conversation was still going--
"Stop��"An angry voice came from
outside the lawn.
At this time, Han Hong Guo and his
coworkers were in a corner and had foot
prints all over them from the bodyguards.
"Hm?" The three bodyguards and Zhang
Hao Bai all turned their heads.
A shady image flew into the lawn and
Zhang Hao Bai recognized him in an
instant and raged: "Han Sen, you came to
my house to receive a beating?"
"Fuck you!" Han Sen saw his father: bent
back, drenched in sweat, and covered in
foot prints. Han Sen's eyes immediately
turned red. His father had to endure such
a bitter life and is always frowned upon.
And today, something like this happened
to him.
One of the bodyguards who was short and
fat laughed coldly as he stepped up."Get the fuck out of the way!!!" Han Sen shouted and his leg, like lightning, kicked harshly. The bodyguard even blocked it with his right arm.
[PENG!]
The heavy kick immediately widened the
fat, short bodyguard's eyes. He flew out
four to five meters in the air before falling
back to the ground. The other two
bodyguards were stunned.
"Han Sen , you dare hit my men!" Zhang
Hao Bai glared and shouted, "You asked for
it"
"Fuck you!!!" Han Sen shouted in anger as
he glared fiercely and clenched his teeth.
