Liu Wanguan didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do this. Maybe if the Lu family knew about it, they would say that Liu Wanguan was cheating.
But for his Young Master Yu, Liu Wanguan would not hesitate even if someone stabbed him in the back.
"What happened over there in Jiangbei?" Lu Yu asked in a deep voice.
Since he wanted to solve the problem, Lu Yu must first understand it before deciding how to deal with it.
"Young Master Yu, because of the issue of workers' wages, this matter is getting bigger and bigger."
"Now we are going on strike directly. The situation is very serious." Liu Wanguan sighed.
"What do you mean? Salary?"
Lu Yu was a little confused. Looking at the entire Jiangnan City, the wages at the construction sites in Jiangbei Development Zone were definitely the highest. Lu Yu was confident about this.
He once told Liu Wanguan that workers are the hardest working people and are also the foundation of the development zone.
Where would high-rise buildings come from without workers building them brick by brick?
Thousands of feet tall buildings are rising from the ground, but you must know that it was these workers at the bottom who built them little by little.
Therefore, Lu Yu’s wages to workers in Jiangbei Development Zone are more than twice that of other construction teams, and the benefits are also very good.
Taking care of food and shelter, it's all a matter of course.
Lu Yu never imagined that things would go wrong in these matters.
"I've been busy dealing with the Wang Family Group's affairs recently, and I haven't gone to Jiangbei Development Zone, but I heard that a lot of things happened there."
"Then I asked the person in charge over there, but the person in charge there was vague and said it was nothing."
"But I feel something is wrong. If one person lies, it is impossible for everyone to lie." Liu Wanguan told Lu Yu in detail.
Lu Yu was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"There can be no problems with the workers. They are all ordinary people who work to support their families. How can they have so many ideas?"
"The problem must have occurred with the person in charge. Let's see it there and then talk about it." After Lu Yu finished speaking, he closed his eyes and rested.
Liu Wanguan nodded and said no more.
…
now.
Jiangbei Development Zone.
Today's Jiangbei Development Zone is really different from what it was before.
Before, Jiangbei was a deserted area. It would be an exaggeration to say it was overgrown with weeds. It was just a place that no one cared about.
It's uninhabited, it's in a remote place, and there's no place for birds to poop.
But things are different now. After Yuxue Real Estate bought the land in Jiangbei, it began to build it aggressively.
Countless modern facilities have entered Jiangbei Development Zone, and the place has become lively.
Viewed from above, the entire Jiangbei Development Zone is in a busy state.
In some places, the foundations have even been completed, and the project is indeed very fast.
From a bird's eye view, there seems to be a dividing line between Jiangnan City and Jiangbei Development Zone.
South of the dividing line is the prosperous Jiangnan City.
To the north of the dividing line is the Jiangbei Development Zone, which is under construction.
Yuxue Real Estate is stationed in front of the project department of the development zone.
A large number of workers gathered here, with expressions of indignation on their faces.
Most of these people are middle-aged people in their forties, wearing safety helmets and with angry expressions on their faces.
A man who looked like a foreman shouted loudly, and other migrant workers followed suit.
There was an uproar and the crowd was no less than several hundred people.
Not long after, a young man in a white shirt came out of the project department and looked at everyone with a frown.
"I said you don't go to work, why are you shouting here?" The young man in the white shirt said impatiently.
"You didn't keep what you promised us, so why should we work?" shouted a dark-skinned man.
"That's right. If you can't deliver what you promised, will you try to make a big deal out of it and treat us like fools?"
The young man in the white shirt said impatiently: "What did you promise that you failed to fulfill?"
"We were promised that food and accommodation would be provided, and we would strictly follow the recipes every day and eat meat at least three times a week. But what happened? Have we seen the results?"
"Okay, let's not talk about that. We are all low-level migrant workers. We don't care about food and housing, but why aren't our hard-earned money given to us?"
"You said that the construction period is tight and you asked us to work overtime. It doesn't matter if we don't get overtime pay. Even the basic salary is reduced by half?"
"You didn't even give half of the promised amount. Did you do it?"
In an instant, countless migrant workers roared loudly, their voices rising to the sky.
The young man in the white shirt was a little dumbfounded, but he still raised his neck and replied: "I promise you that the money will not be less."
"The company's accounts are tight now. When the money comes in, I will definitely pay you a penny."
"You have said this many times, and we will never believe you again!"
"Whoever is willing to do this kind of manual work is waiting to make ends meet. How do you feel about your conscience if you delay your wages like this?"
“Repay our hard-earned money!!”
The young man in the white shirt frowned even more, then turned around and entered the project department.
In the room, a middle-aged man was eating leisurely with four dishes and one soup in front of him, and a bottle of Wuliangye next to him.
"Manager Chen, those people outside are causing trouble again." Youth in White Shirts reported.
Chen Ze didn't panic at all when he heard this. He took a sip of wine and said: "A group of unscrupulous people, how can they lose their money?"
"I'm afraid that things will get serious. When the company finds out, they will come over to check the situation in person!" The young man in the white shirt was a little worried.
Chen Ze was stunned when he heard this, and his face became quite serious.
"Hurry up and drive them away. How bad will it be if they gather here?"
"Tell them that if they keep yelling, they won't get a penny!" Chen Ze slammed the table angrily.
"Yes!" The young man in the white shirt responded, turned around and went out again.
Seeing that the young man in the white shirt still came out alone, these migrant workers were immediately heartbroken.
"Where's Manager Chen! We want to see Manager Chen!"
"When he came here to be the person in charge, he made a lot of promises to us, and now there are others!"
"Shut up!" the young man in the white shirt suddenly shouted.
"I'm telling you, Manager Chen said you'd better go back and work hard, otherwise you won't get a penny at all!"
"If any of you are dissatisfied, just come over and see who is better, you or Yuxue Real Estate!"
Hearing what the young man in white shirt said, the migrant workers were even more angry. Yuxue Real Estate was obviously playing rogue!
Thinking about the hard-earned money that I worked day and night, but couldn't get it into my hands, many people couldn't help but clench their fists.
"Haha, why do you still want to hit me?" The young man in the white shirt smiled coldly: "I tell you, if you hit me once, I will let you know how expensive it is!"
"Don't talk about your salary then, you will still have to pay me back, do you understand?"
After hearing the words of the young man in the white shirt, many people's clenched fists relaxed on the spot.
Yes, now is a society ruled by law, and they are just ordinary people at the bottom, and they are unable to fight against many things.
"Please, my wife is staying in the hospital now. If she doesn't pay the hospitalization fee today, she will be kicked out. Please!"
A middle-aged man suddenly cried out in grief and fell to the ground, as if his whole body had collapsed.
