Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling took the souvenir and drove to the second phase of the engineering area.
I saw a one-story building being built, with steel bars and cement everywhere. Although it was a bit messy, it was generally orderly.
The only thing that is wrong is that there are no people in the engineering area and no one is working. There are only two or three elderly people guarding the construction site sitting at the door smoking and chatting.
Xue Ling got out of the car and walked straight towards them.
"How come the construction site has not started?"
The uncle in the lead recognized Xue Ling, stood up in a hurry, and pulled a big smile on his face.
"Mr. Xue is back!"
When Boss Liao introduced her, he always said that she was a partner and a major shareholder of the project. The staff naturally thought she was a big boss. Some called her "Boss Xue" and some called her "Mr. Xue".
Xue Ling stopped and smiled and said, "Just call me Xiao Xue. I was in God a while ago. I don't know what happened here, why did the work stop?"
The uncle smiled bitterly and explained: "There was an accident on the construction site a few days ago. Several workers did not do things according to the engineer's requirements. The two sides started arguing and finally started a fight. The engineer... was beaten to the point of bruising and injured his feet and hands.
.”
ah?!
There is something else going on!
Xue Ling asked: "What happened later? Did Boss Liao not deal with it?"
The uncle explained: "Yes! Boss Liao rushed over quickly and quickly sent someone to send the engineer to the hospital for treatment. He also scolded the workers fiercely. Those workers were all thorny, and they were amazing.
!They incited other workers to make trouble, saying that they would go on strike and ask Boss Liao to process money. In the end, the two sides broke up in disagreement, and Boss Liao simply asked them to leave, and then... it was like that."
Xue Ling frowned and felt that things were a little serious.
"Does the workers still live on the construction site now?"
"Behind!" the uncle explained: "But they didn't start work, so the chef on the construction site didn't care about the food. Anyway, there were only a few broken sheds, and they would live there, and Boss Liao didn't care about them, so we didn't drive people away.
”
Xue Ling bit her lower lip lightly and said, "I'll go and discuss with Boss Liao."
A honest uncle on the other side smacked his lips and whispered: "That... 80% of them are from other places, and their homes are very far away. There is no other place to live except here."
"But they don't work! If they don't work for a day, Boss Liao can drive them away! This is not their family, so how can they live there casually! Talking about it!"
Xue Ling didn't say much, and turned around and got on the car.
"Brother Yuan, go to Boss Liao's company in the city."
Cheng Tianyuan met her and soon took her around.
Boss Liao’s company is not big, and the front desk staff came out to greet him soon.
"Boss Xue, are you back? That's great! Lao Liao has been very busy these days and said that if you call, he must ask him to answer the call immediately."
Xue Ling nodded politely and asked, "Where is he?"
“In the second floor office.”
Xue Ling had been here many times and took Cheng Tianyuan to the second floor with a familiar road and went straight to Boss Liao's office.
I saw smoke lingering in the office and several men were spitting out the clouds.
Xue Ling frowned and shouted: "Boss Liao! I am Xue Ling!"
A figure soon emerged from the inside, his clothes were slightly messy and his hair was messy - it was Boss Liao!
In Xue Ling's impression, he was a gentle Confucian businessman, and he always had white shirts and nylon pants, neat and generous.
I didn't expect that he hadn't seen him for a while, and he became so embarrassed. It seemed that this time the matter was very difficult, and he didn't even feel like he was in a state of mind.
"Xiao Xue! You are finally back!" Boss Liao shook his head and sighed, "I... have a lot of things to discuss with you."
Xue Ling looked inside and asked, "Do you have any guests?"
"A few old friends." Boss Liao took her and Cheng Tianyuan to another big room diagonally opposite, "Come on! Please sit down!"
Cheng Tianyuan handed him the souvenir and explained: "My wife arrived at the provincial capital at noon yesterday, and I went to pick her up with her father-in-law and mother-in-law. As soon as she got up today, she hurried to the construction site. Unexpectedly, you were not there, and you were straight
Come here."
Boss Liao smiled bitterly: "The construction site has been suspended for three or four days..."
Xue Ling said: "The uncle who is guarding the gate cannot explain it clearly. You can talk about it first and listen."
Boss Liao sighed and said, "That's right. Among this group of workers, in addition to some old workers and some of them are migrant workers. There are many people, and they all work under the leadership of a rough man named Zhang Biao.
I have worked on many construction sites and have rich experience, so I left them. Unexpectedly, they and Liu Xiaoyu and the others often have a big quarrel every three days and every five days, making me dizzy."
Xue Ling had heard Liu Xiaoyu complain a few times before, but thought that it was just a disagreement, and had a few arguments. He thought that they were all big men, and it should be nothing if they turned around.
I didn't expect there were so many conflicts inside!
Boss Liao explained: "A few days ago, they violated the engineer's command and did a wrong place. They were scolded by the engineer, so they started to make trouble and beat the engineer. The engineer is still in the hospital, but fortunately they are not seriously injured.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome. Zhang Biao simply led the workers to get up and make trouble, and then went on strike and did not work. Liu Xiaoyu came to me and said that they didn't want to cooperate with people like Zhang Biao, so they turned around and took his people to strike."
After listening calmly, Xue Ling asked, "What will you do now?"
"I... I advise Liu Xiaoyu and the others to come back." Boss Liao hurriedly said, "But there are too few people in their family, so I have to leave Zhang Biao with one. The second phase is bigger than the first phase, and there are three phases in the next phase.
, I needed a lot of workers. I planned to let them work separately, but Liu Xiaoyu still refused to let go. Zhang Biao also made a fuss about processing money, and he took the opportunity to blackmail me..."
Xue Ling rolled her eyes secretly and asked, "How many people are there under Zhang Biao?"
"More than 60 people." Boss Liao replied: "Liu Xiaoyu has also had a few more people recently, and there are about 30 people on his side."
Xue Ling narrowed his eyes and asked, "Zhang Biao and the others are all from other places, are they?"
"Yes, they are mainly workers from other provinces." Boss Liao explained: "But they are thick and work very well, but they are not very obedient and difficult to manage."
Xue Ling thought for a while and asked, "Then what are your plans? Do you have any solutions?"
"No!" Boss Liao replied: "I'm also overwhelmed and don't know what to do. Liu Xiaoyu is still very easy to cooperate with, so I naturally want to keep them, but they now emphasize that they will never cooperate with Zhang Biao, otherwise they will not be able to do so.
I was also embarrassed if I didn't come. I asked someone to go separately for persuasion these days, but neither side would give in. Zhang Biao and the others asked more, and I didn't want to agree at all."
"Then don't agree." Xue Ling said: "There are so many people, and they all come from other places. It's almost the end of the year. If they don't hurry up and make more money, they may not have enough money to go back to their hometown during the Chinese New Year."
Boss Liao sighed: "The problem is... the project is too big, so there must be more workers, otherwise who will work? I have someone to persuade Liu Xiaoyu. There is an intermediary who is easy to talk to, but he has loosened. He is better with me.
It's been a year since we have been working happily with each other, so I still have the confidence to keep him. As for Zhang Biao's side... I can't persuade him at the moment."
Xue Ling thought for a moment and said, "If you can't persuade me, don't persuade me. Workers who are too arrogant and difficult to manage should rather be slower than those who want such people to make trouble. Our projects pay more attention to quality rather than rush to get the quantity.
