The current construction site situation is even more chaotic than it will be many years later. In many years, at least the country will start to pay attention to this issue, but right now it's completely blind to what's happening in front of us.
"Let's launch a surprise attack and see what happens!" Lu Feng muttered to himself, lying in the bathtub with his eyes closed to rest.
The following morning, Jiang Quan and his group saw Lu Feng off, speaking with exceptional sincerity, urging him to work hard and for the Tianjin plant to set an example for the Suzhou and Dongguan plants, becoming the core engine of the group.
After everyone took a group photo, Lu Feng got into the car amidst everyone's polite greetings and headed straight for the airport.
As the car drove away, President Jiang and his group completely relaxed. With the emperor far away and the company no longer under Lu Feng's control after the board meeting, he was too busy with so many subsidiaries and overseas companies to care about what was happening here.
Not far from the factory area, the construction site of the second phase of the project has stopped. The site is extremely messy, with only a few rows of dark blue makeshift houses remaining. The makeshift houses emit a foul smell, and there are rows of bunk beds inside with black bedding. Seventeen or eighteen men are crammed into this room of less than fifteen square meters.
"Hao Liu, tell me what's going on? It's been almost half a month and we still haven't been paid. That's not what we were told when we came. I said we'd be paid monthly, and now look what's happened! We've worked for nothing all year!" a man with a Tianjin accent complained.
"Alright, stop talking. Hao Liu said he'd pay you today. Besides, do you think such a big company would owe you that little bit of money?" A lean man with messy hair sat down and said, "Foreman, why don't you go ask him? Those leaders are hard to wait for. Buy him a pack of cigarettes and have a good talk with him."
The crowd chattered amongst themselves, and people from the other rooms also came out. Dozens of people had gathered outside; they had been waiting for half a month.
It wasn't just these people; more than half of the workers throughout the entire project were not paid, while the remaining half were paid only half and then sent away.
The total amount owed is over ten million yuan, affecting as many as two thousand people. Among them, two hundred and seventy workers live on the construction site and rely on noodles to survive because they have no money to go home.
All the foremen were keeping an eye on the time; it was already 10:30 in the morning. The leaders had promised them that if the boss came to inspect, as long as they didn't cause trouble, their wages would be settled and they could go home for the New Year after the boss left.
"Let's go to the finance department to collect our salaries!" Hao Liu stood up and walked outside.
Lu Feng arrived at the airport, sat in the VIP lounge, and looked at his plane ticket.
"Sir, your plane is about to take off. Please board." The flight attendant said with a smile.
Lu Feng glanced at the plane ticket in his hand, tore it to shreds, and threw it aside, saying, "I'm not leaving."
After leaving the airport, Lu Feng hailed a taxi and headed straight for a hotel in the city. From the Mercedes-Benz, Lu Feng's intuition told him that the group of people in the Tianjin factory area were not so simple.
The whole world knew that the company had raised $3.5 billion. Some people within the group started to think that the company was rich and wouldn't care about small amounts of money, so they started to spend recklessly.
Especially after October this year, various reimbursement expenses have increased significantly. Lu Feng is waiting to pour all this money into research and development, so that these people can eat and drink and not have to do anything else.
"Sir, may I ask...?" The hotel receptionist paused for a moment upon seeing Lu Feng and asked, "Did you leave something behind?"
"No, the same room, please open it for me!"
After checking into his room and putting down his things, Lu Feng went straight to the factory area. He had only been gone a few hours when the welcome banner at the entrance had already been taken down.
The security guard sat lazily at the gate, drinking tea, a stark contrast to when Lu Feng arrived, when he stood ramrod straight.
It was a bit cold, so Lu Feng put on a hat and wandered around with his hands in his pockets. The factory area was indeed very large; it would probably take one or two hours to walk around it. As he walked west from the main gate, Lu Feng saw that there were more and more people gathered there, about a hundred people, cursing each other in various accents, as if they were having a brawl.
"What's wrong?" Lu Feng stepped forward and asked.
"Damn it! Give us money!"
"Why aren't we paid? We've done all the work, and you're not paying us? So many excuses!"
"Bring your leader out here! How can such a thing be allowed? Are we supposed to starve to death?"
"If you don't pay us today, we're not leaving! I'm telling you, we'll die right here in front of Jiafeng Electronics!"
