After the call was connected, before Weng Xiaozhu could say anything, Vice President Xin on the other end said anxiously, "Boss Weng, we agreed that your company's money would be kept with us until next year. Why did your company's accountant insist on withdrawing the money today? And she even said you asked her to come..."
Weng Xiaozhu moved her phone away, keeping it about ten centimeters away from her ear, as if she didn't want to hear the noise from Vice President Xin.
After Vice President Xin finished speaking, Weng Xiaozhu put the phone back to her ear and whispered, "President Xin, I'm in the city attending a symposium organized by city leaders regarding the issue of unpaid wages. The city leaders ordered me to withdraw the money, and I have no choice. The leader is sitting across from me now. How about having him speak to you personally?"
After Weng Xiaozhu finished speaking, only the sound of breathing could be heard from the microphone.
Weng Xiaozhu waited for a moment and then said, "President Xin, besides, as we agreed beforehand, our company's money might be needed at any time, and we don't know for sure whether it can help you. So, we must withdraw the money today."
After saying that, Weng Xiaozhu hung up the phone.
At this time, the older boss looked at the others seriously and said, "Some people just don't know what's important and can't see the situation clearly. I think what Mr. Weng said about issuing a document is very timely and necessary. Otherwise, some people will only care about the interests of their own unit and forget the interests of the workers."
How effective is a document? That depends on which department issued it and what the issue was.
That afternoon, all businesses, banks, and other financial institutions in the city received a notice from the city government. The notice demanded that all efforts be made to ensure the payment of workers' wages, that no wage arrears be allowed, and that no public incidents caused by wage arrears occur.
The key point is that no public incidents caused by wage arrears should occur.
Then, personnel from relevant departments took the time to visit and inspect various construction sites, and began to gain an in-depth understanding of the payment of workers' wages and the debt situation of various companies.
Because of the road blockage, city officials took this inspection very seriously. Consequently, they ordered businesses that could afford to pay their workers to do so before the end of the year. For construction companies temporarily unable to pay, the city coordinated funding to ensure workers received their wages first.
In this way, the road blocking incident by the workers of Xinjiayuan Company directly led to a city-wide cleanup of unpaid wages.
The construction workers who had toiled hard on the construction site for a year smiled. These people from remote areas deeply felt the warmth of the city.
Although the bigwigs in the city's relevant departments were busy for a while, they thought that requiring those companies to pay workers' wages was easier than dealing with things like road blockages, so they all felt that this was a good idea.
Moreover, this matter involves the people's livelihood and their work achievements. Therefore, they are still very enthusiastic when doing things.
Nipping bad things in the bud can be considered a preventive measure.
In this incident, most people were happy, only one person was very angry.
This person is Xin, the vice president of that commercial bank. At this time, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as having lost both the wife and the army.
The New Home Company withdrew its money. Then, the highway engineering company, which had received the notice, also withdrew its money.
What irritated Vice President Xin most was that there were only three days left until the end of the year. He had neither the time nor the ability to poach other people's products.
The furious Vice President Xin thought about it and found that the two big clients who left his bank were actually related to Director Jiang.
"Even if it's just to pay the workers, it wouldn't cost that much, right?"
After thinking about it, Vice President Xin began to resent Director Jiang.
He believed that Director Jiang was playing both sides, taking advantage of the opportunity of banks attracting deposits at the end of the year and making a lot of money from it.
But he couldn't confront Director Jiang about this. Not only was there no evidence, but it also involved clients. If it got out of hand, it would become a laughing stock in the industry.
Unwilling to give up, Vice President Xin called Director Jiang. However, no one answered the phone.
Now, Vice President Xin was even more convinced that he had been fooled by Director Jiang.
When Li Cheng learned that the money of the New Home Company and the Highway Engineering Company had left the commercial bank, he smiled and said, "Serves you right."
This "you deserve it" is for Vice President Xin. Who asked him to pay a high price to steal other people's peaches? He should end up with nothing.
It is said that the business world is as cruel as a battlefield, and when the financial world plays tricks, its methods are even more vicious.
There is no hope for Vice President Xin to get promoted. He has lost so much in kickbacks. Just wait for his dismissal!
The most ridiculous thing was that the highway engineering company took the money out of the commercial bank and settled the accounts with all parties, but they actually found Meng Jianghong again and asked to re-establish the business relationship.
Meng Jianghong was furious when she recalled the time when their CEO, Mr. Li, had gotten her drunk. But this was a customer, and she had to treat him with the warmth of spring breeze.
So, Meng Jianghong said with a forced smile: "Okay, but if you come to deposit money at this time, we don't have any incentive money left, not a cent at all."
The finance director of the Expressway Engineering Company said, "It doesn't matter whether there's an incentive bonus or not. The main thing is that our CEO Li wants to have a drink with your Director Li Cheng..."
It turned out that after Mr. Li had a drink with Li Cheng and his team last time, he felt that Li Cheng's branch was the most reliable. Apart from anything else, just looking at the frank look of Li Cheng and his team when they drank, they would accept any drink and drink as much as they were offered.
It makes me happy just thinking about it. I have been here building the highway for almost two years, and I have never met a drinking buddy like Li Cheng.
Not only that, Li Cheng drinks very honestly and doesn't play tricks. He drinks for real and never talks nonsense.
A person's drinking habits reflect his character. Mr. Li felt that Li Cheng and his team were truly honest. Furthermore, Meng Jianghong and his team had always been very supportive of the Expressway Engineering Company. Mr. Li took advantage of this opportunity to settle the workers' wages and simply ordered his men to transfer the money back to Li Cheng's branch.
It seems that Li Cheng's drinking spree that night was indeed useful. At least, Mr. Li admired Li Cheng and also trusted the branch where Li Cheng worked.
Character is very important! In the eyes of those with a broad vision, character is much more important than money.
Everyone was happy. The branch had exceeded all its targets, and President Hou was delighted. Furthermore, Meng Jianghong, Director Yang, Director Wang, and others came to see President Hou, saying that Li Cheng's help during those few days had indeed played a significant role.
President Hou was even happier after hearing this. He felt that Li Cheng was very capable and that he had not misjudged him.
Of course, there was one department that Li Cheng hadn't visited, and that was the Security Department. Logically, Li Cheng didn't need to go to the Security Department, as he had come from there, and since they didn't need any staff, Li Cheng wouldn't be able to help much if he went.
President Hou also felt that Li Cheng didn't need to go there, but Li Cheng told her that he had to go. When she asked Li Cheng why, Li Cheng told her that not only did he have to go, but President Hou was also afraid to go.
