In less than three hours.
Gu Yuanming then led his team to the tractor factory.
He's a little confused right now.
I don't understand what kind of crazy move Section Chief Liu made.
You're all from the same factory. Internal strife is one thing, but you can't expose things like privately hiring more than seven people, can you?
What benefits does this bring to your factory?
For personal finances, there is still a red line for having more than 7 people.
Despite domestic discussions advocating for deregulation, no national-level regulations have been issued.
If this hadn't been discovered, that would have been fine, but now that someone has reported it, Gu Yuanming has no choice but to go to the scene to investigate.
Wu Changfeng was not surprised at all by Gu Yuanming's arrival.
After they were seated, Gu Yuanming went straight to the point, without mentioning any personal relationships:
"Director Wu, we received a report that you privately hired 10 workers. Do you know what that crime is?"
Wu Changfeng said with an upright expression, "What? There's such a thing? I didn't know that."
"Don't try to deny it!" Section Chief Liu added fuel to the fire: "When we were paying wages just now, there were 10 workers who didn't get paid. I investigated, and it turns out you hired them without authorization! You have no bottom line; this goes against the policy!"
Wu Changfeng said, "Oh, is that what you're talking about? Director Gu, I'm innocent."
"To put it simply, this factory currently has nearly 300 people. If one more or one less is added, I simply cannot compare or detect it."
Section Chief Liu said, "That's just an excuse. They're all your workers, don't you remember?"
Wu Changfeng tilted his head back and said, "Then I'm sorry, I can't count. You can ask around; I didn't even graduate from elementary school."
"As for Ms. Liu, it's understandable that she has face blindness and doesn't recognize the workers."
Gu Yuanming didn't want to listen to their arguing: "I'm asking you, where did these 10 workers come from? It's unacceptable that you didn't know."
Wu Changfeng said nonchalantly, "Then you should ask Section Chief Liu. Why did the number of workers increase from 190 to 200 when the mining bureau sent them?"
Gu Yuanming turned his head and looked at Section Chief Liu.
Section Chief Liu, in a fit of despair, said, "How would I know? I didn't know they'd infiltrated the team, but one thing is for sure, there are more than seven people! Director Gu, everyone's watching how to punish them."
"Wait a minute." Wu Changfeng raised his hand to stop him: "Director Gu, if someone is doing voluntary work, does that count as employment?"
"Well, probably not. After all, in the countryside, neighbors help each other when building a house."
“That’s it.” Wu Changfeng changed his tone and said, “I believe that these 10 people are doing this for free. I haven’t given them any monetary rewards, so there is no employment relationship.”
"Nonsense!" Section Chief Liu jumped out, trying to expose the lie: "You didn't get paid today, but you always get cash for overtime! You can't deny that, can you?"
Section Chief Liu looked at Wu Changfeng with a sinister smile.
Try to justify yourself!
Let's see how you explain this!
Get ready to eat cornbread!
Gu Yuanming asked, "If I pay you, it's an employment relationship. Are you planning to come with me voluntarily, or should I take you with me?"
"I'm not going anywhere!" Wu Changfeng said with a smile. "What a coincidence, since last month, they haven't been paying cash for overtime."
Section Chief Liu was stunned. "That's impossible! You've always paid in cash!"
"You can ask the factory workers to see if it's true or not."
Section Chief Liu's eyes widened, feeling like he'd fallen into a trap again!
Did he know about his hiring of workers?
Why wasn't it pointed out?
Are you waiting to see me make a fool of myself?
Section Chief Liu gritted his teeth and decided to go to the workshop with Gu Yuanming to investigate.
Wu Changfeng said to Liu Tiao, "Ms. Liu, look at the mess you've made. I suggest you tell these 10 workers not to waste their time and effort."
"Otherwise, the people that Section Chief Liu tricked into coming here will be furious."
Willow nodded, got up, and followed him out.
Not long after.
Wu Changfeng held his teacup and looked in the direction of the workshop.
Several workers came out carrying wooden sticks and chased after Section Chief Liu, beating him mercilessly all over the yard.
Gu Yuanming felt awkward...
Liu Tiao hadn't expected these 10 workers to be so angry, especially after hearing that non-mining bureau employees didn't receive wages.
Initially, these 10 workers came for Liutiao, but Liutiao only said one thing: Go find whoever invited you in.
As a result, Section Chief Liu was in trouble.
When money is involved, who cares about kinship? They beat him so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
The scene briefly spiraled out of control. Wu Changfeng sneered as he sipped his tea, saying, "The wind is unusually noisy today."
Section Chief Liu was at his wit's end, so he made a phone call to Director Chai.
Director Chai cursed loudly, realizing he had gotten himself into a mess.
Director Chai was a stability advocate; when things went wrong, he could only clean up the mess left for Section Chief Liu, so he hurriedly took a car and rushed over.
Before Director Chai arrived, the 10 workers found Wu Changfeng.
Of course, we're not demanding an explanation, we're just begging to get our wages settled. We can't have worked for free, we've been cheated too!
Wu Changfeng remained unmoved, thinking, "What's it to me!"
Gu Yuanming pulled Wu Changfeng aside and said, "I think you should take care of this matter."
"Why? They're not the workers I hired, why are they asking me for wages?"
"They are from Qingyang Town!"
"Is it that awesome?" Wu Changfeng didn't care.
Gu Yuanming sighed: "Let me put it this way, the reorganization of the Investment Promotion Bureau is starting to make progress. I've also spoken with the county government, and the township you'll be affiliated with is Qingyang Town."
Wu Changfeng: ...
