Reborn in 2015, I became a male god starting in high school.

Chapter 21 I never expected Brother Zhou to be so amazing?
Including the day and night spent on the train, Li Dongfeng spent a total of nine days in the south. Although the time was not long, he was indeed thoroughly beaten down by society.

They went there with the mindset of making a lot of money, and they didn't have much money on them at all.

Li Dongfeng's older sister, Li Caiyu, secretly slipped two thousand yuan to Li Dongfeng.

Li Caiyu hadn't received much formal education, but she still knew the importance of traveling lavishly even if one's family is poor.

However, the next day, Li Dongfeng secretly put it at home.

His trip to the south was a do-or-die situation; he only brought five hundred yuan with him.

As a result, they immediately paid two hundred yuan for bedding.

Later, due to various miscellaneous expenses, he simply didn't have enough money.

In the past, Li Dongfeng would have had to work hard for a few months just to earn back his travel expenses.

But Zhou Ziyang has already told him that there are jobs at home that pay five or six thousand.

The students under his command, who had never experienced hardship, also said, "Go back, Brother Dong!"

Even my new coworkers said that if there were a job that paid five or six thousand yuan and they could take me along, it wouldn't matter where I worked.

With everyone egging him on, Li Dongfeng gritted his teeth.

"Okay, let's go back!"

But coming here is easy; leaving is hard.

The main problem is that the ID card is still in someone else's hands.

The other party said you can leave, but you still have to pay a labor loss fee of one thousand yuan.

Labor loss compensation? What's that?
The other party said they would bring you here and help you contact factories. All these miscellaneous things would drain our network of contacts, and we also paid money to the factories to smooth things over.

If you leave now, how will we calculate our losses?
Li Dongfeng was stunned. "No, you didn't say that before."

"You never asked before!"

If each person earns 1,000, then Li Dongfeng and his five people would earn 5,000.

In addition, there were more than a dozen others who were persuaded by Li Dongfeng to quit.

Goodness, these illegal laborers are really making money.

Now I can't leave even if I want to; I can only hold back and think about working for a few more days and see how it goes.

Since we're already here, let's see which factory we're assigned to.

The truth is, I'm completely disillusioned. Damn it, they're charging me eleven yuan an hour based on the assembly line's hourly rate.

Does this person really think they're a pig?

Li Dongfeng lost his temper, but the other party didn't tolerate it.

However, Li Dongfeng was young and fearless, especially since he already had more than twenty coworkers under his command.

So he went up and grabbed the arrogant little laborer by the neck: "Damn it! Give me back my ID card! Nobody's going to live!"

"Damn it! These bastards are treating us like fools! Let's get them!"

These laborers are really taking advantage of honest people. I never expected that Li Dongfeng could gather such a large team in just a few days.

What started as a minor incident unexpectedly escalated into a riot, and several people ended up injured and hospitalized.

Li Dongfeng and his group were also taken to the police station.

Anyone with eyes can see what really happened; Uncle Hat wouldn't make things difficult for a few children.

But it's still necessary to scare them a little.

Li Dongfeng and his friends were all burly and strong, with seemingly inexhaustible energy. However, they were still high school students who had never been to the workforce. When Uncle Hat intimidated them, they became even more flustered and realized that while the outside world was exciting, it also had its share of helplessness.

After the group of people came out of the police station, their faces showed the exhaustion of the past few days traveling.

"Brother Dong, I want to go home." Someone said this to Li Dongfeng again.

At this point, Li Dongfeng was penniless. He felt ashamed to go back like this, but he really had no other choice.

So he took out his knock-off King phone and called Zhou Ziyang.

"Hey, Dongfeng? How's it going in the south? Why did you think of calling me?" Zhou Ziyang's voice was very gentle.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

He didn't know how to talk to Zhou Ziyang, nor did he know what to call him. "Old Zhou"

After holding back for a while, Li Dongfeng finally couldn't help but ask, "Does your relative's factory need any workers?"

Zhou Ziyang laughed when he heard this and said, "I've been waiting for you. If you ask me, you should come back first. Although you can make money outside, it's never as comfortable as home. Come back soon."

Upon hearing this, Li Dongfeng felt a lump in his throat for some reason.

He couldn't hold back any longer: "No, Lao Zhou, actually I haven't made any money here at all!"

After saying this, Li Dongfeng finally couldn't hold back his tears.

He was still a child after all. He could hold back in front of outsiders, but seeing Zhou Ziyang always taking care of his pride, he just couldn't help himself.

He poured out all the grievances he had suffered over the past few days.

Including going to the police station.

Uncle Hat said this was intentional assault and he should go to jail for three years!
"I was terrified! I thought to myself, if my sister found out, she'd kill me!"

"I really regret it now! I wish I hadn't come!"

Li Dongfeng cried his heart out.

But Zhou Ziyang said that nothing had happened.

You don't need to think about anything right now.

"Come back here honestly. I can't recommend you to any good jobs, but as long as you're willing to work hard, earning five or six thousand a month shouldn't be a problem."

"Yes, I believe you, but..."

Li Dongfeng had just told Zhou Ziyang about his situation; more than twenty of his coworkers were looking for work with him. He was worried that this might put Zhou Ziyang in a difficult position.

Zhou Ziyang said there was nothing difficult about it.

"I'll take them all, as many as you can, as many as you can. I remember you had several friends who wanted to work before, right? Go contact them, and if they want to come, they can all come. If you have a lot of people, I'll start my own labor agency! I'll specialize in finding jobs for you!"

Zhou Ziyang spoke frankly, but Li Dongfeng was deeply moved and didn't know how to express his feelings.

Zhou Ziyang said, "Let's not talk about that now."

"Come back first, do you have enough money?"

"That's enough, that's enough!" Li Dongfeng didn't want to use Zhou Ziyang's money anymore.

Zhou Ziyang insisted on transferring two thousand yuan to Li Dongfeng, saying, "It's good to travel with plenty of money. You rarely go to the South, so have a good time, eat and drink to your heart's content, and come back when you've had your fill!"
This moved Li Dongfeng to tears.

After hanging up the phone.

The other friends who came with Li Dongfeng all gathered around: "How did it go, Brother Dong?!"

Li Dongfeng still had tears on his face at this moment.

This has caused quite a bit of concern among everyone.

After all, Li Dongfeng had never been seen crying before.

Li Dongfeng, however, did not waste any words.

He simply waved his hand and said, "Go home!"

When those two words were uttered, the boys, who had endured much hardship outside, immediately broke into smiles.

Finally can go home!
I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place for another second.

Zhou Ziyang asked Li Dongfeng for his bank card number so he could transfer 2,000 yuan to him, but Li Dongfeng refused. He was indeed out of money, but with the help of several friends, he still had enough for a train ticket.

The feeling is different now than when I first arrived, when I was confused.

They boarded the train again, eager to return home.

Li Dongfeng assured his friends that as long as they went back, they would be able to find jobs!

"My friend is the son of a high-ranking official, so there's definitely no problem!"

The others had met Zhou Ziyang before. They had previously looked down on him, thinking he was a good student and they wouldn't get along with him.

Now, after hearing Li Dongfeng's praise, he suddenly became full of admiration for Zhou Ziyang.

"I never knew Brother Zhou was so amazing!?"
