Chapter 799 May Day, Arresting Employees! Who betrayed me? They must be fired!
The four bosses of Kejin Electronics were well-prepared. To prevent workers from taking photos and videos in the production workshop, they specifically required all employees to lock their mobile phones in lockers outside the workshop, including the line leaders.
By the time the workers frantically grabbed their phones and dialed emergency services, their injured coworker had already lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss.
Chen Haonan's face was ashen; the scene from just now haunted his mind like a nightmare.
The worker's half arm was twisted into a limp, limp mass by the machine; it was a horrific sight!
From line leader to supervisor to factory manager, they've all made it crystal clear: anyone who dares to report Orange Technology will be out of a job and can forget about ever making it in Guangzhou again.
A monthly salary of seven or eight thousand is, to be honest, twice that of many small factories.
It was tiring, but the Chinese are not afraid of hardship.
This is precisely the core reason why no one is willing to report it proactively!
While Orange Technology's own factory offers good benefits, it's incredibly difficult for ordinary people to get in. Hundreds of people compete for a single operator position, making the competition extremely fierce.
This is why, after bribing the factory inspector of Orange Technology and successfully passing the audit, Jinsi Electronics used high-pressure tactics of threats and intimidation to force thousands of employees in the factory to dare not speak out.
No one dared to complain to Orange Technology, and no one dared to leave a message in Chen Yansen's Douyin comment section to expose him.
"Chen Haonan, Chen Haonan, are you even a man?"
Chen Haonan looked at his unconscious coworker lying on the ground and silently cried out in his heart.
We can't risk our lives for such a small salary, can we?
Brother Sen clearly stated that he would strictly investigate the suppliers' employees' overtime, hourly wages, accommodation, and meals, but Jinsi Electronics clearly passed the factory inspection process, and all indicators showed "meeting the standards".
This is the most despairing part!
No one can tell whether Chen Yansen genuinely wants to raise the supplier entry standards or is just putting on an act.
After a moment's thought, Chen Haonan gritted his teeth, took advantage of the chaos to retrieve his phone, and quietly took photos and videos of the scene, which he then posted on Douyin, Kuaishou, Toutiao, and Weibo.
He's going to make a big fuss about this!
Even if Chen Yansen is a hypocrite, he will inevitably investigate Jinsi Electronics thoroughly in the face of overwhelming public opinion.
As for himself, the worst that can happen is he gets fired.
At this moment, he was completely going all out!
Because the incident occurred late at night, the video's initial popularity grew slowly until a tech blogger saw it by chance, proactively forwarded it, and tagged the official accounts of Chen Yansen, Senlian Group, and Orange Technology.
With the support of internet celebrities and influencers, Chen Haonan's content quickly broke through the first traffic pool, followed by the second and third, and finally directly entered the top ten of the popular video list.
"Holy crap! This is an arm? How did it get like this?"
"Working 14 hours a day, plus 15 hours a day including meals and rest, with only one day off a month? Is this something a human being can do? How can this even be included in Orange Technology's supply chain?"
"Pah, disgusting! Chen Yansen kept saying he would strictly control suppliers, but it turns out he was just putting on a show."
"Otherwise what? Do you really think capitalists would empathize with us?"
"I believe in Brother Sen! If this factory is making employees work overtime like this every day, violating Orange Technology's regulations, why haven't the more than two thousand employees reported it these past two months?"
"Working 420 hours a month? I thought I was already working hard enough with 10 hours a day and 260 hours a month, but I didn't expect there to be something even more ruthless."
"To be honest, factories are no place for humans; you're literally risking your life for money! A few years ago in Shenzhen, I personally witnessed a colleague get caught in the equipment, and his whole body was shattered."
Netizens were instantly divided into two camps: most chose to believe Chen Yansen, while some secretly questioned him.
After all, as can be found on Orange Technology's official website, Jinsi Electronics is still a qualified supplier in the supply chain system.
Trust is like a tall tower that is built, and the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes to build.
But to destroy it, all you need to do is pull out a few bricks from the bottom, and the entire tower could collapse.
Not long after, an employee of Orange Technology forwarded Chen Haonan's whistleblower video to the company's project group.
"Jinsi Electronics? Who was in charge of the acceptance inspection for this factory?"
As the king of all scrolls, Zhou Shouzhi is still not resting.
Upon seeing the message in the group chat, his face darkened, and he immediately tagged Wang Xueting, the director of the human resources department.
After a minute of no response, he simply dialed Wang Xueting's number directly.
at the same time.
Chen Yansen, who was far away at Yujing Villa in Luzhou, had just taken off his pants when his cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
He scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately knew that it was Zhou Shouzhi calling.
He knew Lao Zhou's personality all too well: capable, worldly-wise, and would never call him close to midnight unless it was an urgent matter.
Chen Yansen sighed helplessly, picked up his phone, and walked out of the master bedroom.
"Boss, there's a problem with the factory inspection mechanism. There's a supplier that provides voice coil motors, and the workers have to work 14 hours a day and only get one day off a month."
In addition, a safety accident occurred tonight; a worker's arm was crushed by a machine, and the video was posted on social media by an employee.
Zhou Shouzhi explained in a steady, deliberate manner, without uttering a single unnecessary word.
As the CEO of Orange Technology, he is naturally responsible for this incident.
This clearly indicates that the HR department and some senior executives received bribes from Jinsi Electronics; otherwise, given the company's factory audit standards, it would have been impossible for them to pass the audit.
It's important to know that Orange Technology has extremely strict requirements for its factory audit specialists.
The process involves submitting six factory inspection reports annually and conducting random interviews with supplier employees; the entire process is already comprehensive and meticulous.
The fact that problems have arisen now means that most people in the entire review process have likely received benefits.
"I understand. Just handle it according to regulations. First, send two staff members to the hospital to take care of the injured worker."
Chen Yansen remained calm, speaking in a measured tone.
He never believed in human nature.
This thing is too complicated, and the cost of being a good person is too high.
Although 90 percent of the people claim to be "honest" or "good," Chen Yansen sees them as nothing more than a group of ordinary people who haven't yet found an opportunity to do something bad.
A truly good person is one who chooses to uphold their principles and be a good person even when they are capable of being either a good or a bad person, and there is no one to restrain them.
Therefore, he was not angry, much less lost his temper.
This kind of thing was actually expected.
Just like himself, he seized the opportunity in his past life and made a fortune, which allowed him to accumulate enough capital and connections to start his own business.
"Okay, boss, I'm so sorry."
Zhou Shouzhi responded, took a deep breath, and solemnly apologized.
"If a problem arises, just resolve it; there's no need to apologize. It's human nature. You need to come up with a more robust monitoring mechanism."
"Alright, you handle it as you see fit. I trust your abilities."
Chen Yansen said dismissively.
He didn't have much control over his ordinary employees, but Zhou Shouzhi was nourished by his "spiritual power" for many years, making it difficult for him to betray him.
That's why he chats with the heads of various subsidiaries and senior executives every year to win them over.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Zhou Shouzhi responded with gratitude.
In his view, Chen Yansen was undoubtedly the most ideal boss.
The money was sufficient, and so was the respect shown to them.
When problems arise, the first thing to do is not to blame, but to give them space and trust to solve the problem.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yansen opened Douyin and read through the video and text posted by Chen Haonan from beginning to end. He couldn't help but chuckle, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
As far as he knew, Jinsi Electronics had more than 2,000 employees, but these people endured it for more than two months until a coworker had an accident, at which point only Chen Haonan stood up to report it.
He really didn't know how to evaluate the remaining employees.
Orange Technology has specifically published its reporting email address and phone number on its official website, Douyin, Kuaishou, Toutiao and other platforms, but no one has been willing to be the "first to speak out".
If everyone pretends to be asleep, then you really can't wake them up.
“Received! I will personally oversee this matter until it is properly handled. Brother, you are very brave! If you are willing, you can send me your phone number via private message. I would very much like you to become the factory audit specialist for Orange Technology.”
Subsequently, Chen Yansen left a comment directly in the comment section of Chen Haonan's video.
In an instant, the video's popularity soared again, quickly climbing to third place on the trending topics list.
When netizens saw Chen Yansen respond personally, they immediately perked up.
“I knew Brother Sen wouldn’t abandon us! My mom is a sanitation worker. She used to earn only 1,800 yuan a month, but since the sanitation service was taken over by Senlian Group, her monthly salary has increased to 2,600 yuan.”
"Really? Is Brother Sen subsidizing this out of his own pocket? Wouldn't that be a complete loss?"
"It's not that I paid out of my own pocket, but I basically distributed all the funds allocated by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to sanitation workers. Those who are interested can look it up and they'll understand the ins and outs."
"In my opinion, the inspectors from Orange Technology probably took a lot of money. Tsk tsk, not only are they going to lose their jobs, but with Brother Sen's temper, he won't be satisfied until he sends them to work on sewing machines for a few years."
"I wonder if I'll be put in the same cell as my brother? Waaaaah, why did all the brothers I like get arrested?"
"Waiting for a solution! Brother Sen is as down-to-earth as ever; he really steps up when things get tough!"
While netizens were discussing the matter, Chen Yansen returned to his bedroom to continue honing his marksmanship.
Unlike before, his movements were exceptionally gentle tonight, unlike in the past when he would practically stand up and kick.
On the other side.
Upon receiving the news, Xiong Aohua, the owner of Jinsi Electronics, immediately panicked.
This matter actually reached Chen Yansen's ears!
Damn it!
Which bastard is so unruly that he dares to betray even his own boss?
He hated tattling people more than anything else in his life, and this person had to be found and fired!
But just as the thought crossed his mind, his phone rang.
He quickly took out his phone, saw that it was the factory manager's number, and immediately pressed the answer button.
What's the situation now?
Before the other party could speak, Xiong Aohua asked first.
"Boss, Orange Technology has frozen our payments and undelivered orders."
The other party explicitly demanded that the injured employee's follow-up matters be properly handled and that all previously owed overtime pay and night-time allowances be fully paid before they would unfreeze the payment for goods.
The factory manager immediately provided the latest updates.
Ten minutes ago, the head of the purchasing department at Orange Technology called him personally and gave him a severe dressing-down.
"Can our cooperation be maintained?"
Xiong Aohua frowned and asked nervously.
The factory manager gave a wry smile on the other end of the phone, thinking to himself: At a time like this, how can the boss still not understand?
The other party's subtext was quite clear: if handled properly, the payment could be unfrozen, but there was absolutely no hope for subsequent orders.
If not handled properly, not only will Orange Technology be liable for reputational damages, but it may also face legal action.
Senlian Group's legal department is known as "China's No. 1 law firm" with an outstanding track record and is also known as "Luzhou's Unbreakable Legacy" because it has never lost a case.
Although Jinsi Electronics has some influence and connections in Minzhou, it is no match for a giant like Senlian Group.
"Boss, I suggest you do it according to Orange Technology's requirements."
The factory manager pondered for a moment and earnestly offered his advice.
Although he formulated and enforced all the regulations that exploited employees, he was just a worker and couldn't go against his boss.
Moreover, he had long advised Xiong Aohua not to exploit his employees excessively, but the boss simply wouldn't listen. Now that a disaster has occurred, he can only reap what he sows.
"You mean Chen Yansen really dares to kick us out of the supply chain?"
Xiong Aohua asked incredulously.
The factory manager was speechless and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
What else?
You screwed over Orange Technology, and they're already showing mercy by not directly targeting you. Do you still want to continue cooperating and making money together?
This is simply a dream!
At the same time.
The inspection stations in Shenzhen and Luzhou both received an emergency midnight order from their superiors: immediately assemble personnel, take the list, and go to the door to arrest people.
"The employees of Senlian Group are all my brothers; we are all one family."
Chen Yansen often said this.
Few people know that there is another half-sentence: "Those who betray the group are no longer my brothers, but my enemies."
Chen Yansen has always been ruthless when dealing with enemies.
Every year, at least one or two hundred employees are sent to prison by the group's internal risk control department.
Since these people are tired of their good life, they should all go inside and eat cabbage and pork belly.
With flashing lights, the police car sped along the elevated highway into the darkness of the early morning.
Inside a garden villa in Shushan District, Luzhou.
Yuan Xuquan was sleeping soundly with his beautiful wife in his arms when a sudden, urgent knocking on the door woke him up.
"Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump!"
Yuan Xuquan didn't want to open his eyes, but the knocking grew louder and louder, disturbing his peace.
"Are you crazy, talking like this in the middle of the night?! I'll fuck you!"
He got out of bed sleepily, put on his slippers, and walked to the door. He had just opened the door when he saw several uniformed inspectors outside the door and immediately swallowed his words back.
"Yuan Xuquan?"
The lead inspector asked expressionlessly.
"I am Yuan Xuquan. What do you need me for?"
Yuan Xuquan panicked for a moment, but forced himself to remain calm and asked in return.
"What's wrong? Don't you know? Put on your clothes and come with us."
The inspector retorted irritably.
When a person feels guilty, their body will involuntarily tremble.
In addition, Yuan Xuquan was only wearing a pair of shorts, and the late April night was still chilly. When the wind blew, he shivered even more violently.
"What are you doing? What did my husband do wrong?"
At this moment, Yuan Xuquan's wife also came out wearing a coat and asked with a wary look on her face.
"Wait at home for further notice."
The inspector replied succinctly.
Yuan Xuquan collapsed to the ground with a thud, unable to put on his clothes or even stand up properly.
The patrol officers were already used to this. They had Yuan Xuquan's wife help him put on his coat, then put him directly into the police car and drove away.
at the same time.
The inspection station in Shenzhen has begun interrogation, and Yuan Xuquan's name was given by several factory auditors arrested in Shenzhen.
Economic crimes are not difficult to investigate, as most of these individuals are well-educated but have extremely poor psychological qualities.
Upon entering the interrogation room, he confessed everything after only a few questions.
Following the clues, the inspectors arrested nine people in one go.
Three mid-level managers from the human resources department, two internal control auditors, and four specialists responsible for auditing Jinsi Electronics' factory.
...
...
The next day, as dawn broke.
The factory manager of Jinsi Electronics had just returned home from the hospital after dealing with the injured employee when he bumped into the patrolman who was waiting at the entrance of the residential area.
Two hours later, Xiong Aohua was also "invited" into the inspection station.
Logically speaking, a component factory of Jinsi Electronics' size should be considered a well-known local entity. The owner, Xiong Aohua, holds several chamber of commerce titles and has a certain background and connections.
But compared to the behemoth that is Senlian Group, it is utterly insignificant.
On Labor Day, Chen Yansen directly sent nine internal employees involved in the case to the police station, and even on the supplier side, three related bosses were arrested.
The news quickly spread across the entire internet.
"Holy crap! Brother Sen's movements are way too fast!"
"Our factory owner got arrested too! That's great!"
"Hey buddy upstairs, so according to you, your factory doesn't meet Orange Technology's standards either? Then why don't you report it? Are you playing ostrich? I really despise people like you!"
"Hey, Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, stop cursing. We're all working people, it's not easy for anyone."
"Brother Sen provided so many channels for reporting, and you guys just kept quiet for months. If you ask me, you deserve it! You didn't dare to say a word, so you just waited for someone else to step in?"
"Seriously, bro? So you're portraying yourself as the victim?"
Netizens were arguing fiercely in the news comment section.
Upon learning of Xiong Aohua's arrest, the Minzhou Central Command was immediately faced with a dilemma.
If Orange Technology completely cancels its cooperation with Jinsi Electronics, what will happen to its more than 2,000 employees?
You should know that once Xiong Aohua goes in, he won't be able to get out for at least two or three years.
"Why don't we talk to Orange Technology and have them acquire Jinsi Electronics?"
"At the Central Headquarters," someone suggested.
It doesn't matter who the factory owner is; the most important thing is to preserve local employment and keep the industry and tax revenue in Minzhou.
"I agree!"
"I have no objection!"
"..."
Following an internal vote, the Central Business Association first contacted Xiong Aohua, and then formally extended a cooperation negotiation intention to Orange Technology.
On the other side.
The Zhang brothers, Xuanning and Xuansong, have also boarded a plane to Luzhou to discuss the acquisition of Yonghui Supermarket with Chen Yansen.
