"Jianye, still studying?"
"So diligent."
Yan Fugui entered, seeing Chen Jianye still studying, and couldn't help but genuinely praise him.
"Third Master, is something the matter?"
Chen Jianye pretended not to know.
"Jianye, let me ask you something."
Yan Fugui began amicably.
"Ask away, Third Master, why are we being so distant between us?"
Chen Jianye laughed.
"Jianye, when your father passed away, the Rolling Mill gave three hundred yuan in pension, right?"
Yan Fugui asked with a smile.
"Yes, when Master Yi and I were discussing matters, weren't you and Second Master both there?"
"The Rolling Mill indeed gave our Jia Family three hundred yuan in pension, Third Master, you wouldn't want to borrow money, would you? That's my wife's dowry."
Chen Jianye looked very wary.
"Oh, where did you get that idea? You're just a kid, I wouldn't borrow money from you even if I did."
Yan Fugui scoffed, licking his lips: "Do you know how much pension the Rolling Mill gave the Jia?"
"It should be two hundred twenty, the Pliers worker team discussed these matters, I've heard about it."
"Jia Dongxu was a First-Level Fitter, the standard for the pension given by the Rolling Mill is clearly stipulated."
Chen Jianye said.
"Then you know about the Jia Family taking Jia Dongxu's body to the Rolling Mill, right?"
Yan Fugui asked again.
"Yes, I happened to be passing by then and saw it."
"Third Master, what do you want to say? Just say it directly, it's just the two of us, no need to beat around the bush."
Chen Jianye urged.
He knew what Yan Fugui wanted to do, wasn't it just to exchange the agreement for money with him?
Hurry up.
All this circling around was delaying his study time.
"Alright, I'll tell you directly."
"Besides the two hundred twenty yuan in pension given by the Rolling Mill, the Rolling Mill also subsidized the Jia an additional three hundred forty yuan."
Yan Fugui said in a low voice.
"Ah? Impossible, a subsidy more than the pension, impossible."
"The Rolling Mill has no such precedent."
Chen Jianye 'looked shocked', instinctively denying it.
"When I found out about this, I was also quite stunned, until I saw the agreement in black and white, only then did I know it was true."
"Jianye, your Jia Family received too little."
Yan Fugui whispered.
"There's an agreement? Third Master, where is the agreement? Can I see it?"
Chen Jianye said eagerly.
He looked as if he had already taken the bait.
Yan Fugui took in Chen Jianye's expression, feeling very satisfied in his heart.
Sure enough, as soon as he spoke of this matter, Chen Jianye immediately got excited.
It was impossible not to get excited.
Who can be indifferent to money?
If the Jia can get it, my Jia Family also had someone die at the Rolling Mill, why can't we?
And my father's position was higher than Jia Dongxu's.
Yan Fugui believed he had thoroughly understood Chen Jianye's mindset.
Very good.
It was time to harvest.
"Third Master, speak up."
"Late at night, you're not playing with me, are you?"
Chen Jianye said somewhat unhappily.
"Look at you, so impatient again."
"The agreement is right here."
Yan Fugui smilingly pulled out the agreement from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Chen Jianye 'impatiently' took it, spread it out, and examined it.
Indeed, the agreement clearly stated the agreement between the Jia and the Security Section.
The signatures of the three people were even more valuable, indicating that someone from the Security Section was indeed involved and accepted the agreement.
"Third Master, this agreement..."
Chen Jianye hesitated.
"A friend of mine gave it to me and asked me to keep it."
"I thought you might need it, so I brought it for you to see."
Yan Fugui made up an excuse.
Of course, he couldn't say he picked it up; if he had picked it up, how would he ask Chen Jianye for money later?
"Third Master, I'll be direct with you, I want to buy this agreement."
Chen Jianye actively 'took the bait'.
"Tsk, my friend didn't tell me to sell this thing."
Yan Fugui looked troubled.
"Five yuan."
Chen Jianye quoted a number.
"My friend trusted me to keep this thing, you're making it very difficult for me."
"Seven yuan!"
"Jianye, it's not that I don't want to, Third Master also has his own difficulties."
"Ten yuan!"
"I'm not even sure if this agreement is real or fake; if it's fake, I'll accept it."
Chen Jianye stated the final price.
Ten yuan was really a lot.
Currently, pork was eighty-four cents a jin on the market, and doubled without a ticket at the Black Market.
Ten yuan could buy six jin of meat at the Black Market.
That was a whole six jin of meat.
Enough for the Yan Family to eat for a year!
"Since you want it so much, I'll grant your wish."
"But about this matter, you can't tell anyone else, I have nothing to do with it."
Yan Fugui took a precaution.
"Don't worry, Third Master, I won't sell you out."
Chen Jianye pulled out a 'Great Unity' bill from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Yan Fugui smilingly took the money: "Alright, I won't disturb your studying anymore."
"Third Master, take care."
Chen Jianye politely said, then carefully folded the agreement and put it into his pocket.
Paying ten yuan to legitimately obtain the agreement and go to the Rolling Mill and the Security Section to demand three hundred forty yuan was not a loss.
Moreover, the ten yuan he gave Yan Fugui wouldn't be so easy to keep.
Chen Jianye could foresee that once he used the agreement to extort money from the Rolling Mill, the Security Section would definitely criticize Jia Zhangshi severely.
And according to the content of the agreement, if the Jia disclosed the content of the agreement, the agreement would automatically become void.
At least the Rolling Mill would not grant the Jia the qualification for automatic job transfer.
In this way, Jia Zhangshi would know that the agreement had fallen into Chen Jianye's hands.
Naturally, she would suspect that Chen Jianye had stolen her money.
Next, without surprise, if Jia Zhangshi reported it to the Public Security, they would definitely take action.
Under such high pressure, Chen Jianye exposing Yan Fugui would be unavoidable.
After all, from Chen Jianye's perspective, he was innocent; he bought the agreement from Yan Fugui, and Yan Fugui told him that the agreement was given by a friend.
If Yan Fugui couldn't explain himself clearly, and the Public Security applied some pressure, he would suffer.
Even if Yan Fugui managed to get away from the Public Security, the Jia Family would not let him go.
Ten yuan, buying Yan Fugui two days of suffering, and the subsequent harassment from the Jia Family.
This was the true value of the ten yuan Chen Jianye offered.
Yan Family.
Slap!
As soon as Yan Fugui returned, he slammed the 'Great Unity' bill onto the table and slightly raised his head, instructing Third Aunt: "Put it away."
"Oh my goodness, ten yuan! Where did you get it?"
Third Aunt was so happy her mouth wouldn't close.
"Don't worry about where it came from, it's not from cheating or swindling, anyway."
"As the saying goes, you won't go poor from eating or wearing, but you'll suffer if you don't calculate properly. Understand this saying thoroughly, and you'll never suffer a loss in your life."
Yan Fugui adjusted his glasses, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.
Third Aunt quickly stuffed the money into her pocket, planning to reward her old man that night.
The next day.
Chen Jianye got up early, and after breakfast, came to Yi Zhonghai's doorstep.
"First Master, I'm going to the Security Section to handle some matters this morning, and I'll be late for the Pliers worker team. Please help me pass a message to the Squad Leader."
After giving his instructions, Chen Jianye left directly, regardless of whether Yi Zhonghai agreed or not.
Anyway, he had already told Yi Zhonghai.
If Yi Zhonghai didn't relay the message, Chen Jianye would have something to say.
"You're going to the Security Section to do... Hey, this kid, he's gone without a trace."
Yi Zhonghai hadn't even finished speaking when Chen Jianye's figure was no longer at the doorway.
