When everyone heard this, they hesitated and murmured in low voices.
"This is too cheating. The salary has directly become half of the original amount."
"Yes, why was it demoted instead of being promoted? The wages were not agreed upon when recruiting workers."
"We agreed, but we ourselves wanted to change and quit. Now we ourselves are begging others to come back."
Yes, although I think it's a bit deceptive, but they are the ones seeking their own death. Besides, there is no other way at this moment but to keep their heads down and admit it.
"Okay. I do." Wang Dagou said.
Others also said: "Okay, it's our fault and we don't blame others."
"Then just like Sixi."
"It's better to make fifty cents less than to make nothing at all."
Wang Dagou asked: "What about the second condition?"
Lao Wangtou said: "Director Li said that this is the only chance and he will never hire me again."
He glanced at Wang Yongding.
This sentence was meant for the villagers, and especially for Wang Yongding.
Wang Yongding turned his head with a guilty conscience.
In fact, Li Wenjun had already given Wang Yongding three chances.
Wang Yongding knew better than anyone else that after this time, the villagers would not listen to him anymore.
Seeing Lao Wang staring at him, Wang Yongding could only cough dryly and reply vaguely: "I know."
Lao Wang nodded to the doorman: "Comrade doorman, please open the door."
The doorman then opened the door again.
One by one, everyone came in through the small door, parked their bicycles under the tree next to the guard, and then walked inside.
Li Wenjun and Tan Dailei stood under the eaves in the distance with their hands behind their backs, silently waiting for everyone to approach.
Everyone blushed with shame when they saw Li Wenjun and Tan Dailei, and whispered hello: "Hello, Director Li."
"Hello, foreman."
Li Wenjun nodded: "Hello, everyone. Comrade Wang Sixi just told you. Since we are starting to work again, wages will be reset. On the original basis, the daily wages will be reduced by 50 cents. When the time comes, wages will be paid.
You can do the same work as the people left before, but get different wages, so don't complain."
Wang Sixi said hurriedly: "No, no, I told them just now."
Li Wenjun looked at the others.
Everyone else nodded: "There will be no complaints, we all agree."
Wang Musen and Wang Shilei also hurriedly said: "We are just like everyone else."
Li Wenjun: "I would like to reiterate the discipline. You must listen to the foreman at the construction site. Whoever dares to be unorganized, undisciplined, and unreasonable will never be given another chance."
His sharp eyes swept around, and wherever he went, everyone lowered their heads.
"knew."
"Director Li, we don't dare to do it anymore."
"You must abide by the rules."
Li Wenjun nodded: "Okay, I will trust you again. You can stay here tonight and arrange your work tomorrow. Your wages will be calculated from tomorrow on. However, I haven't prepared anything for you for dinner, so I can only ask the canteen to cook some shredded pork noodles."
Yes." Everyone became happy again after hearing this.
"If you have shredded pork noodles, what else can you not be satisfied with?"
"Director Li is so kind. He even included dinner."
Li Wenjun said to Tan Dailei: "You will settle the wages of those twenty people today, and arrange their work tomorrow morning and continue the original arrangements."
Tan Dailei knew that he was leaving, so he hurriedly said: "Okay. Brother Wenjun, just feel free to go about your business."
Li Wenjun nodded and walked out.
------
Li Wenjun pushed his bicycle to the door and knocked on the guard room window.
The guard came out and opened the door for him.
Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Li Wenjun stopped and said, "What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just tell me. You're welcome."
The guard then said: "When I saw the oldest man standing at the end today, I remembered that when the truck came to unload the materials that day, he was talking to someone. The person seemed to have given him a small paper bag."
When Li Wenjun heard this, he immediately asked: "What does that person look like?"
The guard described the man. Li Wenjun thought for a while and said, "Okay, thank you. If necessary, I may ask you to identify him." If that man is Yuan Deshi, all of this will be connected.
Li Wenjun turned around and went in again.
Before Principal Wu left, he saw Li Wenjun coming back and asked in surprise: "Did Comrade Wenjun forget something?"
Li Wenjun sat down and said, "Principal Wu, do you want to catch the poisoner?"
Principal Wu nodded: "I do. Of course I do. It almost caused our project to be delayed, and the reputation of the canteen was also damaged."
Li Wenjun tapped the table with his finger and said, "Then I'd like you to cooperate with me in performing a play."
Principal Wu looked confused: "What to play?"
Li Wenjun: "First tell me that you plan to change someone else to do the project, and ask him to come to your office the day after tomorrow to talk."
Principal Wu frowned: "Who are you talking to?"
Li Wenjun picked up the phone: "I told you to dial the number. I will explain to you later."
Dean Wu took the phone, Li Wenjun reported the number, and Principal Wu dialed the number.
After dialing, the call was connected, and the voice that called just now came from inside: "Hello, hello, I'm Yuan Deshi."
Principal Wu looked at Li Wenjun in surprise. The man reported his number just now, and Li Wenjun actually remembered it.
"Ah, hello, Comrade Yuan Deshi. I am Principal Wu of the County No. 1 Middle School. I have just carefully considered your suggestion. I think I can talk to you and see who is better to do this project."
Yuan Deshi smiled proudly inside: "That's right. It would be great to have one more choice."
Principal Wu said: "For more details, come to my office at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow to discuss it in detail."
Yuan Deshi said hurriedly: "Okay, see you there or not."
Principal Wu hung up the phone and asked Li Wenjun: "Why the day after tomorrow, not tomorrow?"
Li Wenjun smiled: "These people are quite cunning. If we are too anxious, this matter will not be done. If you ask him to come the day after tomorrow, he will think that you will talk to someone else tomorrow, so he will not believe you."
-----
Wang Yongding actually suspected that Li Wenjun let him in deliberately so that he could close the door and beat the dog.
After dinner in the cafeteria in the evening, everyone returned to the auditorium and found that there were many beds made of benches.
It turned out that it had been raining these days and the ground was very wet. Li Wenjun was afraid that the moisture would be bad for everyone lying on the ground, so he asked people to move the benches they were sitting on when watching the performance from behind and put three of them together to make a simple bed.
.
"Director Li is really considerate."
"That's right, you think too much about us."
"Why were we such bastards before? We even threatened him with a salary increase."
Everyone else expressed gratitude, but Wang Yongding's face was gloomy.
Wang Shilei asked: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Yongding said harshly: "We were fooled by Li Wenjun. He calculated that it would rain, so when we were about to leave, he didn't stop us, which saved us a few days' wages. He also knew that we would definitely
I will come back, so even this simple bed has been prepared early in the morning."
