"Xiao Guan, go get a copy." Yuan Fangguo instructed Guan Liying.
Guan Liying nodded, then turned around and walked quickly towards the hospital.
As soon as Guan Liying left, the noise below began to rise again. Seeing that the workers were indeed quite emotional, Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but say, "Uncles and brothers, if we don't do a good job on this matter, I promise to allocate funds immediately."
Old Liu glanced at Yuan Fangguo and then sighed.
Yuan Fangguo keenly noticed the sigh that Lao Liu had just let out. He smiled and asked, "Uncle, when was the last time you saw Mr. Qi from your company?"
Old Liu thought for a moment and said, "About December of last year."
"Then who have you been dealing with for so long?" Yuan Fangguo asked in surprise.
"Dealing with the company's project manager, Li Shuiping." Old Liu took out a cigarette without a filter, put one in his mouth, and then prepared to throw it at Yuan Fangguo.
Yuan Fangguo quickly waved his hands to indicate that he didn't smoke.
"Then when did you see Li Shuiping coming?"
"Half a month ago," Old Liu said without hesitation. "When we were preparing to start work after the New Year, we didn't want to work because we hadn't received any wages. Li Shuiping patted his chest and said that the money would definitely be paid by mid-March. He also said that if it wasn't paid, he and you would have to wait until the Qingming Festival next year."
Old Liu looked very serious when he said this, but the people below couldn't help but snicker after hearing it.
Yuan Fangguo was both angry and amused. He didn't have a deep impression of Li Shuiping and had only a few dealings with him. These guys didn't pay the workers themselves and forced themselves to move up. It was simply bullshit.
Yuan Fangguo swore that if Qi Bing and Li Shuiping were both there, he would definitely give them a good beating on the spot.
Guan Liying jogged all the way to the hospital and then jogged all the way back to the construction site.
She did not give the bills to Lao Liu immediately, but gave them to Yuan Fangguo first.
Yuan Fangguo took the bill and looked at it, and found that it was exactly the same as what Guan Liying said.
"Uncle, take a look for yourself. This is the receipt for the money our company sent to your company."
Old Liu took the bills with a little suspicion. He was very conflicted. After hearing what Yuan Fangguo said just now, he had a vague guess in his heart that maybe Qi Bing and Li Shuiping really had run away with the money.
They had heard before that these two people liked to gamble, and the stakes could be high. They even saw a few fierce-looking men walk into the company and ask Li Shuiping for money.
As soon as Lao Liu took the bill, his fellow workers gathered around him. They took a closer look and found that all the allocations were quite complete.
"Damn it, we were cheated by Qi Bing and Li Shuiping." A burly worker behind Lao Liu couldn't help but throw his safety helmet to the ground.
"These two bastards."
"Fuck him."
…
The workers below were in an uproar. They felt aggrieved and angry. It turned out that they had been played like monkeys by Qi Bing and Li Shuiping for so long.
"Let's go to the district government and ask the officials for money." Old Liu said with a wave of his hand.
"Let's go." Everyone threw away the tools they were working with and headed towards the district government in a mighty procession.
Yuan Fangguo was a little surprised and asked Zhong Jiulin beside him, "Old Zhong, Hongsheng Construction Company owes them money, why did they go to the district government?"
"Mr. Yuan, you don't know that Hongsheng Construction Company is wholly owned by the Jiangliu District Government. Qi Bing and Li Shuiping have run away, so they naturally have to go to the district government to ask for money."
After listening to it, Yuan Fangguo suddenly felt that this matter was no small matter. He was a businessman. Although this matter had nothing to do with him, if it caused a bad impact on the society, the leaders in the district would definitely have some opinions about him, and things would not be so smooth in the future.
After thinking about it, Yuan Fangguo ran away.
He drove straight to the district government.
When he arrived at the district government, the old man guarding the door refused to let him in.
"Uncle, can you please call the deputy district chief in charge of public security and tell him that the workers from Hongsheng Construction Company are coming to demand their wages?"
The old security guard shook his head and said, "I don't have that much courage."
"Then let me in, okay?"
"ID card?"
"I..." Yuan Fangguo didn't have any ID with him. He felt around and pulled out a student ID. "Uncle, is this okay?"
"It must be fake." The security guard didn't even look at him and told Yuan Fangguo directly that his ID was fake.
"I am really a student of Bashu University."
"Can students drive now?"
"I..." Yuan Fangguo was speechless after being refuted, and he also became a little anxious.
At this moment, a black Santana car drove out.
In a hurry, he immediately stopped the Santana sedan.
"Excuse me, is there any leader inside?"
"Who the hell are you? Don't block our district chief. We have business to do." The driver said with a ferocious look on his face.
When Yuan Fangguo heard this, he immediately became much more energetic. It turned out that the district chief was inside.
"District Chief, I have something important to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" The middle-aged man in the back row suppressed his inner anger and said calmly that he would rush to the city government immediately to accept the organization's talk.
Yuan Fangguo said succinctly, "The workers at Hongsheng Company haven't received their wages, and they've come from the former Hongqi Machinery Factory to collect their debts."
District Chief Li Guodong frowned upon hearing this. "Really?"
"It's absolutely true. No one knows where Qi Bing and Li Shuiping from Hongsheng Company have gone."
"Go back." Li Guodong said loudly to the driver.
The driver did not dare to delay and immediately backed the Santana.
Halfway down, the window of the back seat rolled down, and Li Guodong's head appeared from inside, "You, come here."
When Yuan Fangguo heard this, he walked straight over.
The old security guard said nothing.
Li Guodong took Yuan Fangguo and quickly walked into the office. Then he picked up the landline and called Qi Bing's cell phone.
No one answered.
He was somewhat unwilling and called Hongsheng Construction Company again.
"Where's your President Qi?"
"Mr. Qi said he went to Xinjiang for an inspection and would be back in half a month."
"When did you say that?"
"Ten days ago."
"This is nonsense." Li Guodong couldn't help but hang up the phone heavily, with his hands on his hips and a look of anger on his face.
Just then, the deputy district chief in charge ran over in a panic.
