Hearing this, the corners of Liu Qingyu's eyes became wet.
He could deeply feel how desolate and angry this migrant worker felt deep in his heart at this moment.
Because that's how he feels.
At this moment, Liu Qingyu felt that he had to find a way to truly solve the problem of arrears of wages for migrant workers, otherwise, similar tragedies would inevitably be repeated! After Jiang Zhigang committed suicide by jumping off a building, Liu Qing
Yu feels that the problem of arrears of wages for migrant workers must not be just a superficial issue. There must be something institutional to provide the most stable guarantee!
But these are issues that Liu Qingyu can only consider after solving the matter at hand.
Zhou Dadan continued to perform, and two lines of tears seemed to flow from his eyes. His acting skills were extremely superb: "This migrant worker brother, on behalf of our Civil Air Defense Office, I express my deep regret and guilt for Jiang Zhigang's death.
There are indeed areas where some work was not done properly, and for this, on behalf of our Civil Air Defense Office, I would like to express my deep apologies to Jiang Zhigang and to all you migrant workers."
With that said, Zhou Dadan bowed deeply to the migrant workers again.
After raising his head, Zhou Dadan said in a deep voice: "Fellow migrant workers, I can understand your difficulties. I would like to express my attitude to you here. I promise that we will attach great importance to this matter. Please give us some time."
, I promise to solve your problem as soon as possible."
"Director Zhou, you have said this more than once or twice. We no longer believe you. All we want to know now is whether you can solve our problem today. Jiang Zhigang's death cannot be in vain. You must
Give him an explanation, give an explanation to his old mother who was forced to commit suicide by drinking pesticide because you owed us migrant workers wages.
Director Zhou, I am very surprised. Is this the attitude of your officials towards the common people? If this continues, will we common people still have a way to survive? If we cannot survive, I am afraid that all of us will follow Jiang Zhigang.
"As he spoke, hot tears flowed from the corners of the migrant worker's eyes, and his face showed infinite sadness and grievance, as well as deep helplessness and powerlessness.
Because he and all the migrant workers have long seen that Zhou Dadan is a very slippery official. When he talks to you, his words make you feel very comfortable, but it is absolutely impossible to get him to do things.
It is even more impossible to ask him to uphold fairness and justice. Even if he is asked to do things within the scope of his duties, it is impossible. Because he is an official! And they are ordinary people! They are migrant workers!
A strong sense of sadness spread throughout the migrant workers.
I don't know who suddenly shouted loudly: "Hey, since you have to force me into despair, I will follow Jiang Zhigang's example and just die!"
As he said that, a man in his fifties from the migrant workers rushed towards the office building and wanted to jump to the roof to commit suicide. However, he was quickly stopped by the police, who kept persuading and explaining.
At this time, Meng Huan kept shouting loudly at the scene: "Dear migrant workers, please don't be anxious or impulsive. Comrade Liu Qingyu, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, is on his way here. Please rest assured, Secretary Liu
I will definitely solve your problems for everyone.”
As Meng Huan continued to shout, the migrant workers, who were originally full of sadness and determination to die, began to calm down a little. Many people had heard of Liu Qingyu's name. Everyone knew that Liu Qingyu had always hated evil.
Many corrupt officials in Tiandu City have been taken down because of him.
Although ordinary people have no confidence in officials like Zhou Dadan, everyone is still willing to believe in Liu Qingyu for the time being.
The migrant workers began to wait silently.
Zhou Dadan wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously, and his back was already wet with sweat. Just now, if those migrant workers rushed to the roof of their civil air defense office and jumped to commit suicide, he knew that he would never even think about it.
It's better, after all, the consequences of one person dying and a group of people dying are completely different.
"I'm already here." Liu Qingyu suddenly said loudly in the crowd.
Immediately, Liu Qingyu separated from the crowd, walked opposite the migrant workers, stood side by side with Meng Huan, and said loudly: "Dear migrant workers, I am Liu Qingyu, Secretary of the Tiandu Municipal Party Committee. I have arrived at the scene for several people.
Minutes have passed. I have heard and seen all the conversations you just had with Zhou Dadan. Here, I would like to make a guarantee for you. Today, all of you can get the salary that should be yours.
Not a penny less.
Of course, in order to ensure that the scene is not too chaotic, please send a few representatives to come directly to me. I need to confirm whether you have conclusive evidence to prove that you are owed wages, and make on-site statistics on how much you are owed.
Salary. As long as the evidence is conclusive, I guarantee that everyone will not get a penny less."
Hearing what Liu Qingyu said, there was a commotion in the crowd. Then, five men walked out of the crowd. They were the representatives elected by everyone.
The leader was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. This man walked up to Liu Qingyu with the other four people, looked at Liu Qingyu and said: "Secretary Liu, I am the general manager of Kangzhuang Construction Engineering Co., Ltd.
A year ago, I took over a civil air defense construction project that was personally tendered by the Municipal Civil Air Defense Office, and recruited these on-site workers to participate in the construction of the entire project. With our joint efforts, the entire civil air defense project was successfully completed and passed acceptance inspection.
However, during the entire project process, in addition to the initial 30% advance payment, after the acceptance inspection was completed, we did not receive the remaining 60% of the project payment as promised. The project quality deposit was charged at the highest 10%.
We agreed that there was no problem, because this was agreed upon in the contract. But why didn’t the Municipal Civil Air Defense Office give us the other 60% of the project payment? I have never been able to figure this out.
And according to my understanding, about a week after the project passed the acceptance inspection, the former director of the Civil Air Defense Office notified us to go to the Municipal Civil Air Defense Office in three days to collect the remaining 60% of the project payment. I still keep the recording of this phone call.
.And at that time, he also hinted to us that if we wanted to get the remaining 60% of the project payment, we had to give him some benefits. He even made it clear to us the amount of the benefit fee, which was at least about 10%.
!
Ten percent is ten percent, right? In order to get our project funds and not to lose our lives, we endured it! Who asked us to take over this project? And according to common sense, the money should have already gone to the municipal civil air defense department.
The accounts are done.
However, we never expected that three days later, when we went to the Municipal Civil Air Defense Office to withdraw money, the director of the Municipal Civil Air Defense Office told us that the former director of the Municipal Civil Air Defense Office had been double-checked, and the new director of the Municipal Civil Air Defense Office had just taken office and was still unsure about the whole matter.
I don’t know much about it, let’s go over it after a while.
However, the wait is more than half a year! Secretary Liu, we are just an ordinary construction company with second-level qualifications. In order to complete this project, we advanced funds for this project, and a considerable part of the funds advanced were
We borrowed money from the bank, including the wages of these migrant workers, and we are waiting for the settlement of the project funds to pay.
However, more than half a year has passed since the completion of the project, but the Municipal Civil Air Defense Office has not given us this money, and the director of the Municipal Civil Air Defense Office in front of us, Zhou Dadan, has been delaying and dealing with us for various reasons.
It will be given to you next week and next month, but it has never been given to us. Even last time, he got anxious and told us that the money was a problem left over from when he was the director of the Civil Defense Office, and asked us to find his predecessor.
Go, don't look for him, he doesn't care."
After saying this, the general manager was already bursting into tears. Such a big man just burst into tears: "Secretary Liu, it's not that I don't want to pay wages to the migrant workers, but that we really can't come up with the money. In order to
To pay wages to the migrant workers, I have sold all my houses and cars. Now, I only have this suit that has not been sold. All the migrant workers know this, because we are all
A village or a town! Secretary Liu, please give us migrant workers a chance to be in charge! We need a fair treatment! The formal companies founded by our farmers need a fair environment! Because our companies are also formal
Our company has legal procedures and qualifications, and our quality is high enough and has passed the acceptance inspection. Why can't the Municipal Civil Air Defense Office change our director and settle the accounts for us?"
At the end of his speech, the general manager burst into tears and was extremely sad.
Liu Qingyu looked at the general manager. Unlike Zhou Dadan, he was not acting, but showing his true feelings while crying. The snot and tears had mixed together and were indistinguishable from each other.
Liu Qingyu walked over, patted the general manager's shoulder lightly and said: "Comrade, please don't be anxious. Don't worry, I promise to make the decision for you. Please bring out the relevant information. I need to first
Check it out.”
Only then did the general manager understand. He immediately asked a migrant worker next to him to take out a document bag, handed it to Liu Qingyu and said: "Secretary Liu, look, this is the official contract signed by us and the Municipal Civil Air Defense Office, as well as the acceptance check.
Waiting for relevant documents.”
After Liu Qingyu took the document and read it carefully, he nodded slightly: "Yes, it should have been paid half a year ago." After saying that, Liu Qingyu looked at Zhou Dadan and asked directly: "Comrade Zhou Dadan, since this contract
Everything is so simple and clear, why can’t your city’s civil air defense office pay people?”
"Secretary Liu, our Municipal Civil Air Defense Office does not have this budget. How can we pay for it without money?" Zhou Dadan suddenly expressed his bitterness.
"Really no money?" Liu Qingyu's eyes gradually became sharp and he asked coldly.
"I really have no money!" Zhou Dadan said through gritted teeth. He said in his heart: "Grandma, I am Zhou Papi. If you want to get this money away from me, there is no way!"
