The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

As evening approached six o'clock, the sun set and twilight gradually enveloped the city. The scorching sun finally subsided, and the temperature dropped slightly, but it was still uncomfortably hot.

Li Qiang and his two companions rushed to the Third People's Hospital of the city.

In a corner of the emergency room, they found two companions standing anxiously in the corridor.

"How is the situation?" Li Qiang asked hurriedly.

"Haozi's condition has stabilized for now, but he still needs to be hospitalized for observation." His companion smiled wryly and handed the medical bill to Li Qiang.

"We asked the doctor, and he said that the rat's condition cannot be discharged for the time being. It needs to stay in the hospital for at least three days for observation, and the cost of emergency treatment will be about five thousand yuan."

Five thousand.

These two short numbers felt like a mountain, pressing down on the hearts of the five people.

The five people stood side by side in the corner of the corridor, their heads bowed, and no one spoke.

Just when the atmosphere was at its most tense, Li Qiang's phone rang again.

It was another unfamiliar number.

This time, Li Qiang felt a little scared and didn't dare to answer the phone for a moment.

He was afraid of hearing bad news about someone's accident, afraid of incurring another unbearable expense, and afraid that there was an abyss beyond his desperate situation.

His phone rang repeatedly for over a dozen times before he took a deep breath and, with trembling hands, pressed the answer button.

"Hello, is this Li Qiang?"

A gentle, familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Li Qiang was slightly taken aback, then instantly realized what he meant, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Old Mao?"

"It's me." Qin Mao's tone was gentle, with a hint of familiarity. "It's been a long time since we last contacted each other. How are you all doing? I heard you're still in Jiangbei City. Have you found new jobs?"

Li Qiang's Adam's apple bobbed, and he gave a bitter laugh, "We...haven't found work yet. How about you? Are you doing alright? Have you found a new job?"

"Uh...not yet," Qin Mao replied casually. He didn't need to look for a job, nor did he need to work.

Li Qiang's heart sank, but he quickly reassured him, "It's alright, relax and keep looking, you'll find it eventually."

Qin Mao sensed the weariness and despair in his tone, frowned, and asked directly, "What's the situation for you now?"

Li Qiang sighed helplessly: "After Lao Zhou ran away with the wages, we hired a free lawyer to sue Lao Zhou, but we still haven't gotten the wages back."

"I've been hitting walls everywhere I look for work these past few days. Today, Haozi got heatstroke while looking for work and ended up in the hospital. The initial medical bills alone are already over five thousand... Sigh, God is so blind!"

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, then Qin Mao said, "I'll transfer the money to you first to pay the medical bills."

Li Qiang quickly refused, "Lao Mao, no need. Don't you still owe your older brother a lot of money? You must be having a hard time too, we can't be a burden to you. Besides, there's no rush to pay the medical bills, we can find some work in the next few days and scrape together the money."

"If it really doesn't work out, we'll see," Li Qiang added.

Qin Mao knew that Li Qiang and his group were honest and straightforward, but stubborn at heart.

Qin Mao knew that Li Qiang and his gang were honest people. They wouldn't accept charity from others for no reason unless they were really desperate. It was the last bit of dignity they had left.

Instead of forcing him to give her the money, he casually mentioned, "There's a new plot of land in Nangang that's about to start construction, and the construction site is hiring a lot of people. I happen to know the project manager there; I can put in a word with him, and you can go directly to work there."

"Moreover, you can get an advance on your salary."

Li Qiang was instantly jolted, his eyes suddenly lighting up as he asked incredulously:

"Old Mao, are you kidding me? There are still construction sites in Jiangbei that offer advance payments?"

At that moment, hope ignited in Li Qiang's heart.

As long as we can get an advance on our wages, the mouse's medical expenses can be covered immediately, the family's need to buy medicine and milk powder can be met, and everyone's desperate situation can be turned around with a glimmer of hope.

"Given the situation, why would I make fun of you?" Qin Mao replied, "I'll give you a phone number; you can call and ask."

After getting the number, Li Qiang thanked him repeatedly, his voice filled with excitement: "Old Mao, you saved us all! Wait, I'll definitely treat you to a drink!"

After a brief refusal, Li Qiang hung up the phone and immediately dialed the number Qin Mao had given him.

At the same time, Chen Ming, the project manager of the land in Nangang District, was standing in front of Qin Mao, answering a call and turning on speakerphone.

"Hello," Chen Ming said politely and respectfully.

Li Qiang suppressed his excitement and tentatively asked, "Hello, I heard that the construction site in Nangang is hiring?"

"We are indeed hiring," Chen Ming replied.

Li Qiang asked again, "I heard... you can get an advance on wages?"

Chen Ming subconsciously looked at Qin Mao beside him, and seeing Qin Mao nod slightly, he immediately replied, "Yes, you can get an advance."

Li Qiang was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Can I get an advance for a week?"

Seeing Qin Mao casually make a "three" gesture, Chen Ming replied, "I can get an advance of three weeks' wages."

Seeing Qin Mao frown and shake his head, Chen Ming panicked and quickly changed his mind, saying, "I can get an advance of three months' salary."

Three months' salary in advance?

Li Qiang was stunned for a moment, his mind went blank, and his hand holding the phone was trembling.

There's never been such a rule in the industry! All the construction sites he's worked on have only ever given him a few hundred yuan in advance for living expenses. How could he possibly get three months' worth of wages in advance?

A doubt instantly arose in Li Qiang's heart, and he quickly and cautiously replied, "Okay, I'll think about it some more."

He hung up the phone, his expression complex.

Abnormalities are suspicious; this treatment is so outrageous, it's like a scam.

"What's wrong? Is the job Lao Mao recommended really true?" Tie Zhu and the others quickly asked.

Li Qiang frowned and said, "The benefits seem too good to be true, three months' salary in advance. I'm afraid it's a scam, and maybe Lao Mao has been fooled too."

"Huh?" The hope that had been rekindled in their hearts was extinguished once again.

"An advance of three months' salary? That's really too unbelievable."

"What a pity. I thought Lao Mao really had connections and could get us into the construction site."

"Brother Qiang, why don't we ask Brother Mao again? Maybe, I mean maybe, it's true..."

The last man said in a low voice that they were now desperate and had no other choice but to try any opportunity.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Qiang could only dial Qin Mao's number again, carefully confirming repeatedly.

"Old Mao, paying three months' salary seems too suspicious. You haven't been scammed, have you?"

Qin Mao smiled and explained, "You know the Genting Tower, right? The owner of that land is located in the Genting Tower. He gave us this treatment because he saw how hard we migrant workers work in the June heat."

"You know Genting Highlands; it's backed by the government. Would I lie to you?"

After several verifications, it was confirmed that all the benefits were genuine and there were no tricks or scams involved.

Li Qiang's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and his voice trembled with excitement.

"Thank you! Thank you so much, Lao Mao! The job you recommended really saved our lives. You wait, I have to treat you to a drink sometime!"

"Okay, I'll be waiting." Qin Mao finally said, "The construction site will officially start work first thing tomorrow morning. You can come over tonight. The site will provide food and accommodation."

-

After hanging up the phone, Qin Mao looked at Chen Ming, the project manager beside him.

"They'll be on duty tonight. Arrange their food and lodging in advance. The food standard must be the highest, at least four dishes and a soup per person. Hire the best chefs for them, make sure all the migrant workers are well-fed. If there are any problems, you're fired."

"All accommodations must be double rooms with air conditioning, private bathroom, and bedding provided."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Chairman, I certainly won't skimp on the food. But there's no time for the dormitories! The temporary dormitories at the construction site are all multi-person rooms, brand new and well-maintained, and fully equipped, but they won't be ready by tonight. Time is too tight."

"Moreover, a double room with air conditioning and a private bathroom is a feature that only hotels offer."

Qin Mao said domineeringly, "Then buy all the hotels around the construction site and convert them into dormitories for migrant workers."

Chen Ming looked troubled: "Chairman, if we do it this way, considering the costs of those teams, we'll lose hundreds of thousands, even millions!"

Qin Mao waved his hand casually, without even looking up, "It's nothing, just a small amount of money."

Chen Ming froze, completely dumbfounded.

Buying an entire hotel complex outright for a few low-level migrant workers?

But he didn't dare ask any more questions. "Yes, Chairman."

"Oh, right, give them a separate salary, 20,000 per month..."

Qin Mao recalled that when he worked on the construction site, his salary was only a little over six thousand yuan. Remembering Li Qiang's wary demeanor earlier, he changed his tune:

"Twelve thousand a month, and you can come up with a reason to say that the extra amount is a company subsidy."
