The bald worker representative asked: "You are Mr. Zhang, right."
The production manager next to him, Xu Kun, added: "Yes, this is Mr. Zhang, the commercial director of our Nanhai area. He is the commercial director of the project department. He is the leader of the girl who often comes to the site to collect your labor team."
The bald worker representative complained: "We are not afraid of your jokes, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xu.
If I had a confirmation slip from the boss of the labor team, we wouldn’t have called so many workers to your project department to ask for wages.”
Zhang Yunqing patiently communicated: "So, these workers were called over by you, right?"
The short woman replied ably: "Mr. Zhang, that's not what I meant.
These workers are not organized by anyone. Everyone just asks if they have been paid.
As a result, they basically didn't get paid.
We basically just borrow some living expenses every month, just a few hundred yuan a month, and in principle it doesn't exceed a thousand yuan.
All the remaining money goes to the contractor boss.
Mr. Zhang, do you usually pay the contractor and boss not a penny?
As soon as we asked the contractor for money, he would evade and say that your Western Construction Group is too damn evil and would never pay us.
He said that there is nothing he can do to you. If we really can't wait any longer, we will come directly to your Western Construction Project Department to ask for money."
Zhang Yunqing asked: "Our main suppliers include Zheng Hui, the owner of the greening self-owned labor team, Fang Xian, the steel structure team, Bian Zhenjia, the owner of the garden construction team, Xia Houyue, the boss of the garden construction team, and Wu Yiqun, the owner of the fixed landscape stone team.
, seedling supplier Cao Shenggen, etc.”
The short woman replied: "I belong to Zheng Huishang, the boss of the greening labor team."
Zhang Yunqing recorded it in his notebook, and at the same time said to the production manager Xu Hui: "You can find a way to call Zheng Hui over and ask him about his workers' wages."
Production manager Xu Kun replied: "Mr. Zhou made arrangements. After everything is sorted out, he will go to their boss himself."
"Well, please report the situation to Mr. Zhou now."
Production manager Xu Kun said "Okay" and called Zhou Wencheng to tell him that there was someone from Zheng Hui, the owner of the greening workers' labor team, and he could notify Zheng Hui.
After making the phone call, I told Zhang Yunqing the situation.
Zhang Yunqing nodded to show that he understood, and then continued to talk to the short woman: "You just asked us whether Western Construction and the labor team have paid.
I can tell you clearly that we paid the project progress payment in accordance with the contract.
The greening company where you work has its own labor team owner, Zheng Hui, and our monthly wages are also paid at 70%.
It is customary before the Lunar New Year to pay in full.
If according to your statement, each of you borrows no more than 1,000 yuan per month, how much do you estimate Zheng Hui should have received?"
The little woman replied: "That should be quite a lot.
What should I do if Zheng Hui, who suffered a thousand cuts, ran away with so much of the hard-earned money of the workers and brothers that I brought with me?"
Zhang Yunqing replied: "Zheng Hui must have made money. It is unlikely that he ran away."
The short woman replied: "Mr. Zhang, you don't know. I asked about this Zheng Hui behind his back. He is not a serious person.
He is good at eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, and he is good at everything. Others say that he is a cannibal without spitting out the bones, and they all try to persuade me not to deal with him."
As he spoke, he started crying.
Zhang Yunqing comforted him: "Don't cry, the key is that it's useless to cry.
What's your name?"
"My real name is Hu Chunhua, and more people know me by my nickname, so I am called Hu Yaomei."
Zhang Yunqing replied: "Okay, Hu Chunhua, I wrote it down, her nickname is Hu Yaomei.
Is it true that I can find you just by mentioning you Hu Yaomei in this area?"
Hu Chunhua smiled sheepishly and said, "Mr. Zhang is laughing. As long as I ask the workers at the nearby construction site, nine out of ten will know my contact information."
Zhang Yunqing gave Hu Chunhua a thumbs up and said: "Sister Hu is so awesome, it turns out she is the eldest sister this time around.
Have you calculated how much Zheng Hui's total salary is compared to yours now?"
Hu Chunhua replied: "My own calculations with the workers indicate that I should be given another 500,000 yuan."
Zhang Yunqing asked: "Have you not checked the data with Zheng Hui? What do you mean?"
Hu Chunhua replied: "Yes, I have been asking Boss Zheng to reconcile with us, but he just doesn't do it.
I can't do anything about him either.
Mr. Zhang, if you have paid 70% of the total payment now, then the money he got is quite a lot.
There shouldn't be any money to pay our wages, unless he just doesn't want to pay."
Zhang Yunqing replied: "We have prepared 1.1 million yuan in workers' wages for him this month alone, and your 500,000 yuan should be enough.
In addition to using your workers, does Zheng Hui also need other people’s workers who are foremen like you?"
Hu Chunhua replied: "Yes, there is a group of workers who have been working with him for many years.
My group of workers only help him do some small labor work, and the wages are very low."
Zhang Yunqing replied: "I understand.
Sister Hu, what we need to discuss now is how to pay the money to you, how much to pay, and when to pay."
Hu Chunhua replied: "Mr. Zhang, the workers and masters I led, we discussed it before coming to your Western Construction project department.
What I hope is that Western Construction pays wages directly to our workers and does not change hands through Zheng Hui.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon. If by chance Zheng Hui gets his salary and doesn't pay it to us in time, I'm afraid some workers will get confused and do some drastic behavior, whether it hurts themselves or others.
It’s very bad.”
Zhang Yunqing replied: "Sister Hu, I agree with the opinion you discussed with your master workers. At the same time, I am also worried that Zheng Hui will not pay you after he gets his wages. In fact, you still have to come to us for help with coordination.
.
If that time comes, we will all appear quite passive.
But this reason cannot be raised by me, because I have no contractual relationship with you, and I have no right to directly pay your salary.
On the contrary, Western Construction Co., Ltd. has a written contract with Zheng Hui. In theory, our project payment must be paid to Zheng Hui, and then Zheng Hui will pay you."
Hu Chunhua still tried to struggle: "Mr. Zhang, suppose you paid Zheng Hui the money, what should we do if he just doesn't pay us?
When the time comes, should I come to Zheng Hui or come to you?"
Zhang Yunqing replied: "If the situation you mentioned really happens, it will be very difficult."
