"We have more than 20 workers who have worked day and night for four or five months. Why should you stop giving us money if you say you won't?
Let me tell you, I have checked every steel bar in the area I am responsible for. You know how your iron wires got in!
You want to kick me away to make room for others, and I admit it, but if you want to take away our wages, I won't let you go even if I risk my life!"
Lingchuan has always given people the impression that he is calm, restrained, and considerate of the overall situation. For the first time, Wang Junyuan discovered that this man had a ruthless side, and he was a little shocked for a moment.
The people above just asked him to find a reason to kick Lingchuan away, but if the matter got serious and affected the construction period of the entire construction site and even the later sales of the house, the people above would definitely take action on him.
Seeing that Wang Junyuan felt guilty, Lingchuan approached him again and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Compared with you colluding with the construction company to mix stone powder and sea sand into concrete, these few wires of mine are nothing.
Who do you think will die more miserably among us?"
Wang Junyuan looked horrified, "You, how did you know?"
"If you don't want others to know, you have to stop doing it."
"You, let me go first!"
Lingchuan obediently let go of his hand and took the initiative to help the other party rearrange his wrinkled collar, "Manager Wang, I will go back now and ask them to pack their luggage. We will leave after getting the money in the afternoon. Could you please contact the finance department?
Tell me."
After saying that, Lingchuan turned and left the office.
After coming out of the office and looking at the workers working enthusiastically on the construction site, Lingchuan's mood was not as relaxed as it looked on the surface.
Each of these workers carries a family on their shoulders. If they lose their job, their family's source of income will also be cut off.
Lingchuan did not go to the construction site immediately to tell everyone the "bad news", but instead went to the grocery store.
"Boss, here's a red plum."
"One?"
"Um."
The grocery store owner smiled, took out the red plums on his body, and handed one to Lingchuan.
Lingchuan handed over fifty cents, and the boss waved his hand, "Forget it, it's yours."
Lingchuan directly put the money on the counter, asked the boss to borrow a lighter, and lit the cigarette.
Seeing him squatting in front of the grocery store and smoking a cigarette without saying a word, the boss kindly handed him a small bench.
"Thank you." Lingchuan took the bench and stuffed it under his butt without any courtesy.
The boss chatted with him while sorting the small products on the shelves at the door.
"What, are you worried?"
"Um."
Seeing that he didn't want to go into details, the boss didn't ask any more questions. He just asked him if he wanted more cigarettes when he was about to finish smoking.
"No."
Lingchuan waved his hand, but subconsciously glanced at the phone on the counter.
I don’t know what she is doing at home now.
After sorting himself out and in a good mood, Lingchuan quickly returned to the construction site and briefly explained the matter.
"I have already agreed with Manager Wang that we will leave as soon as we receive our wages in the afternoon. Everyone should put down what they are doing and go back to the work shed to pack their things."
Everyone stood still, obviously not recovering from the shock of suddenly losing their jobs.
"Brother Chuan, is there no room for turning around?"
"How about we all pool together some money and talk to Manager Wang to intercede?"
Lingchuan understood everyone's mood very well. Behind everyone there were several mouths pointing at the job. Now that the job was lost, the whole family had to starve.
Looking at the bewildered and hopeful faces of his co-workers, Lingchuan felt as if a heavy boulder was weighing on his heart.
"Let's go back to the work shed and wait for news. I'll go to Manager Wang and talk to him."
"Are you still packing your things?"
Lingchuan was silent for two seconds, "Let's clean up first. If you can't stay, I promise to find a new job for you as soon as possible."
Hearing this, the workers all stopped working.
After everyone left the construction site, Ling Jiang came over anxiously, "Kuanzi, what's going on? The wire we use is always obtained from the warehouse. You guys have never been out, how could you sneak in?"
Where’s the black wire?”
Lingchuan looked at his eldest brother solemnly, "Just because we didn't go out doesn't mean others can't bring it in."
Ling Jiang was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, "You mean, Manager Wang deliberately framed us? Why? We usually give as much as we should."
It is an unwritten rule to pay benefits to the person in charge when working on a construction site, and Lingchuan is no exception.
Almost 10% of all their wages will go into Wang Junyuan's personal pocket.
But even so, the man named Wang sold him without blinking an eye, which only meant one thing.
Either others gave more, or it was the higher-ups’ wishes.
If it was the former, then he had nothing to say. 10% was already high enough. If it were any higher, there would be no need for him to continue working here.
If it is the latter, then he has offended someone.
Lingchuan didn't think any further, "Brother, you go back to the work shed to pack your things first. I'll go talk to the guy named Wang and see if we can keep the others behind, and we'll go."
Ling Jiang nodded blankly, "Okay, Chuanzi, be careful. If you don't have a job, you can find it again. If you don't have money, you can make money again. Don't be impulsive. Think about your younger siblings at home. If something happens to you, what will happen to your younger siblings?
?”
If something really happened to him, would she be worried about him?
Looking at the smoke-filled construction site in the distance, Lingchuan couldn't help but think.
After learning Lingchuan's intention, Wang Junyuan pretended to hold the Joe for a while, until Lingchuan said a few nice words, he reluctantly agreed to let the other workers stay.
In fact, it saves Wang Junyuan trouble if the workers can stay and continue working.
The boss' intention was just to kick Lingchuan away. If Lingchuan took away all his workers, he would have to find a new batch, which would delay the construction period and he would be the one who gets scolded.
From Wang Junyuan's attitude of agreeing to keep the workers, Lingchuan was able to confirm that he had indeed offended someone.
So, as long as he leaves, it will be fine.
Lingchuan was a little hesitant to keep his eldest brother Ling Jiang, but when he thought about his eldest brother's honest and dull temperament, he might still help count the money after being sold, but he was worried about it, so he simply planned to take him back to Jiang City together.
"Kawako, how was your conversation with Manager Wang?"
As soon as Lingchuan returned to the work shed, Ling Jiang couldn't wait to greet him.
Upon hearing Ling Jiang's inquiry, other workers also looked over eagerly.
Lingchuan didn't hold back and announced directly: "I have already made an agreement with Manager Wang, you can stay and continue."
"Very good!"
There was cheering in the work shed, and looking at everyone's cheerful faces, Lingchuan couldn't help but reveal a relaxed smile.
Ling Jiang couldn't be happy, so he went outside the work shed to smoke cigarettes alone.
