Chapter 290
Lei Tingjun made it very clear that he would pay one month's wages in advance.
But it's not about covering up the hole left by the previous Fujian developer.
Those who were willing to stay and continue working under Lei Tingjun were given a month's wages in advance so that the workers could get through the current difficulties.
As long as you keep working, you'll get paid.
Lei Tingjun's actions were truly a righteous act.
Who would be willing to pay workers in advance before they even start working?
Moreover, this involves dozens of workers, which is quite a large sum of money.
The foreman was overjoyed and immediately said, "Brother Lei, don't worry, I will make sure that every single worker stays!"
But Lei Tingjun knew that these workers had long since lost faith in the contractor.
This is a bit like the boy who cried wolf in the story.
They were fooled by one developer, then by another, and by the time the real 'wolf' came, they probably wouldn't want to believe it anymore.
Lei Tingjun then said, "Take me to your workers' temporary accommodations, and I will personally speak to everyone."
"Okay, Brother Lei, the workers' dormitory is just behind here, come with me."
When they arrived at the workers' dormitory, Lei Tingjun and his men saw that the workers were sleeping in a crowded large dormitory.
The room was noisy and the air was bad. Now that it's almost May and the weather is gradually getting warmer, the workers' sweat smell is particularly strong.
Moreover, everyone was in a bad mood and didn't have time to clean up, so it was left in a mess.
As soon as the foreman entered, he smelled the smoky fumes inside and immediately started yelling, "What are you all doing? Get up right now, Brother Lei is here to check on us!"
The workers sat up numbly and looked at Lei Tingjun.
In everyone's eyes, Lei Tingjun showed despair for his current life.
This is the third month already. If we don't get our wages soon, our family's living expenses will be cut off.
Lei Tingjun stood directly at the door and said to the workers, "If you all want to continue working, come to the construction site in Xikai District in three days. If I, Lei Tingjun, will give you a meal, you will also have a meal. I have already spoken to your labor foreman. If he is willing to come and continue working, I, Lei Tingjun, can give him a month's wages in advance to solve our current difficulties."
"If you really don't want to, or don't trust my Thunder Army, you can leave or find another job. My Thunder Army will respect your choice."
After saying that, Lei Tingjun looked around with his bright black eyes, then turned and left with his entourage.
As soon as Lei Tingjun left, the workers in the temporary construction site dormitory were in an uproar.
They began to tentatively discuss things with each other.
"Do you think what Lei Tingjun says will really work?"
"Back then, when that Fujian developer brought the station over, he promised all sorts of good conditions, but in the end, he still ran away."
"That's right, and I even made a special inquiry. I heard that Lei Tingjun used to run a construction material transportation fleet. He has never built such a large-scale project himself."
"He has no experience whatsoever. What if he runs away halfway through the repairs? What will we do then?"
"Yes, if that happened, who would we be able to reason with?"
After listening to everyone's worries and doubts for a long time, the foreman only said one sentence.
He said, "Then think about it, which of the bosses we've encountered before was willing to pay us a month's wages in advance?"
"Aren't we worried that he might run away with the money, or that they might take the money and run away with it?"
"Put yourself in my shoes, everyone! You're all stuck in this place, you probably don't know, but right now, there are tons of suppliers in the entire Pingdong City vying to do business with President Lei."
"Mr. Lei is only being kind to us workers who have nowhere else to go because we helped him out in the past."
"If he were really as heartless as those Fujianese, he could easily hire a new batch of workers from outside without having to pay them in advance."
"With this month's advance payment, most of us will be able to get through our current difficulties to some extent."
"Anyway, you guys think about it yourselves. Whether you go or not, I've already decided to continue working for him!"
After that, everyone just looked at each other and then fell silent.
After a while, some of the workers began to express that they still wanted to stay and continue working.
The reason is that even if Lei Tingjun runs away like that Fujianese man, at least they got an extra month's wages, so they won't lose too much.
Once one group of people arrived, another group followed, and soon most of the workers decided to stay and continue working with the main force.
After all, in Pingdong City now, everyone has already found enough construction sites that have started or are even under construction, and the workers on those sites are no longer needed.
With no new projects starting, these casual laborers were unable to find work for a period of time.
Rather than continuing like this, I might as well get a month's wages first and work for a month before making any decisions.
In fact, migrant workers are very simple and kind.
They were only forced to become wary after being deceived and oppressed time and time again by those unscrupulous and unethical businessmen.

On the other side, after Lei Tingjun rushed back to the motorcade's workshop, he worked through the night to compile the project plan and all the contracts with several material suppliers and manufacturers.
