Hu Yuan encountered a headache a few days ago.
More than twenty migrant workers left the construction site one after another. Some left through normal procedures, while others left without even receiving their wages.
Hu Yuan had been puzzled by this matter for a long time, but now he finally understood.
It's easy to guess that those people must have been bullied by these two and couldn't take it anymore, which is why they decided to leave.
You have to understand that for those migrant workers, wages are the most important thing to them.
The fact that these two people were willing to leave without even asking for their wages suggests that they not only trampled on their dignity but also potentially threatened their lives.
"Mr. Hu, I've been away from the construction site for a while due to some business. My brother-in-law has a bad temper and has caused you trouble. Please forgive me. I will definitely make amends and finish the rest of the project well."
The skinny guy immediately came up with an excuse, trying to shift all the blame onto his brother-in-law.
As long as he wasn't involved in the bullying incident, his most serious offense would be negligence in supervision.
"Really? Go and get me the attendance sheet."
Hu Yuan turned around and said coldly to Foreman Wu.
Foreman Wu must be fully aware of this matter, yet he has been so lenient with these two. Hu Yuan will not give him a good look.
Moreover, Hu Yuan had already guessed that the skinny guy's claim that he hadn't been there for the past few days was definitely a lie; at the very least, his name would be on the attendance sheet.
Because such people are too greedy; in order to earn an extra salary, they will definitely put their own name on the list as well.
Sure enough, after receiving the attendance sheet, Hu Yuan saw Liu Yan's name on every page, and it was always filled in under the technician's section.
This means that this guy is getting a relatively high wage on the construction site every day, but claims he's not there because he's busy.
Hu Yuan didn't bother to say anything more, and simply threw the notebook on the ground, letting Liu Yan look at it himself.
Liu Yan subconsciously reached out to flip through the notebook, but then suddenly realized something and withdrew his hand. If you didn't know better, you would think that the notebook was too hot to handle.
"Mr. Hu, I admit my mistake. I was too greedy. I didn't come to work, but I had someone make up a false attendance record for me. I will return all my wages immediately."
Liu Yan continued to beg Hu Yuan for mercy.
This guy would rather admit to falsifying attendance records than admit that he knew what the fat guy was doing.
This is because he understands what Hu Yuan is after.
"With inadequate supervision and falsified attendance records, what use is there for me to keep someone like that around?"
Hu Yuan turned around and looked coldly at Foreman Wu, and said those words.
"Liu Yan, you don't need to come tomorrow, and neither do the people you brought. Also, I will have someone carefully check the work records of your group, and if even one person is missing, they will all be returned to me."
Foreman Wu immediately understood and issued the order to dismiss Liu Yan.
Liu Yan knew there was no turning back, so he stopped begging Hu Yuan, dusted himself off, and stood up obediently, accepting the punishment.
How many people have you injured in total?
Hu Yuan turned around and faced the fat man.
Because of these people, many people on the construction site are not as motivated to work anymore, and are just going through the motions.
Although Hu Yuan didn't want to waste too much time investigating the details, this guy was definitely not someone to be let off easily.
"Mr. Hu, please believe me. I was just in a bad mood these past two days, so I hit four or five of my coworkers, and they all sustained minor injuries."
The fat man knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he could only try to mention as few victims as possible.
"Only four or five?"
Hu Yuan's words had two meanings: one was questioning the fat man and expressing his disbelief in his statement.
Another implication is that four or five is not too few.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hu, I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again."
The fat man is still sitting on the ground, his legs too weak to get up.
"Alright, I'm too lazy to waste any more words with you. Send all the people you injured to the hospital for a check-up. You'll pay for their medical expenses. Once it's confirmed that none of them are seriously injured, you can get lost. I don't need someone like you who acts like a bully here."
Hu Yuan was in a really bad mood.
"Mr. Hu, this..."
"What? Do you want to compensate me for all my losses?"
Seeing that the fat man was still hesitating, Hu Yuan coldly asked in return.
Just kidding. If you were to calculate all the lost wages for everyone, the losses for those he fired, and the wages for the workers who developed bad habits because of him, he wouldn't be able to pay it all off, let alone go bankrupt. Even if he worked hard for decades, it wouldn't be enough to cover the losses.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I'll take them to the hospital for a check-up right away, without wasting a moment."
The fat man was so frightened that he wet himself immediately. After scrambling to his feet, he instinctively yelled at the people behind him to find all the injured people and send them to the hospital.
However, everyone knew that the fat man was no longer in charge, so they didn't dare to make a single move.
Besides, in such a sensitive situation, they should avoid it as much as possible, and the less noticeable they are, the better. Who would dare to obey Hu Yuan's orders?
That's not just being an accomplice or a lackey; it's blatantly disrespecting Hu Yuan.
"Um... Mr. Hu, I'll go by myself."
It was only then that the fat man realized he was no longer the boss who could bully others. He immediately turned around and apologized to Hu Yuan like a chicken pecking at rice, then turned and ran off to find someone.
Liu Yan sighed helplessly. He was afraid of nothing but his incompetent brother-in-law. This time, he had been defeated by his stupid brother-in-law.
If this guy hadn't been so stupid, he might not have gotten himself involved in this mess.
"Foreman Wu, what do you think of this matter?"
After dealing with the smaller ones, Hu Yuan naturally had to deal with the real source of the problem.
If it weren't for Foreman Wu's lax oversight, there would absolutely be no such parasites on the construction site.
"President Hu is so wise. These guys should be kicked out, otherwise the work atmosphere on the construction site will be ruined."
Foreman Wu immediately gave an awkward smile. That was all he could say. Flattery never fails, and he was just trying to get a chance. What if Hu Yuan actually fell for it?
Besides, Hu Yuan has already come to his doorstep, so there's no way to avoid it now.
"Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense, but there's a saying that goes, 'If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too.' Does the existence of these problems mean that I also have a problem?"
Hu Yuan repeatedly urged the guy to admit his mistake.
"No, no, no, Mr. Hu, how could this be your problem? It's my problem. I shouldn't have ignored these things. I should take responsibility. No matter how you punish me, I will have no complaints."
