"President Jiang is here?"
"Wow, really?"
"Really, really, stop looking and go back."
The crowd peering out of the office quickly ducked back inside. This was a serious matter. Director Li stood there, somewhat at a loss. He was afraid he would be in for a scolding for messing things up like this.
"President Jiang, the problem lies with me. The migrant workers are demanding their wages. I'll call security right away!" Director Li, showing a strong sense of responsibility as a leader, immediately took on the responsibility.
The director, General Manager Sun, and Li Zhiqi, who were standing to the side, all breathed a sigh of relief. If the responsibility had fallen on them, they would probably have been fired.
Jiang Quan stood there with a sinister expression, silently scanning everyone present. He exuded an imposing aura, and although the room was packed with people, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Hao Liu was so frightened that his face turned pale. How high-ranking was this leader? He had really been tricked by Lu Feng this time. He secretly regretted it.
Jiang Quan stood there looking at the crowd and said, "What are you all doing? Is this a place for you to cause trouble?"
“They’re here to ask for their wages, not to cause trouble,” Lu Feng said.
"Am I going to talk to you about wages now? This is an office building, not your construction site. This is utterly outrageous!" Jiang Quan rebuked righteously.
The leader's tone silenced everyone present, a stark contrast to his humble and easy-going demeanor in front of Lu Feng.
"Alright, alright, everyone disperse. Don't let security come and kick people out." The director stepped forward and said, "Go, go, go!"
The person who was about to leave at the stairwell was now shrugging down in fear. Hao Liu grabbed Xiao Henan and was about to leave, but Lu Feng pulled him back after only two steps.
"Where are you going?" Lu Feng asked.
Hao Liu's face twisted in pain, and he looked at Lu Feng as if he were about to cry. He whispered, "Let's go first. If we don't leave now, we really won't get our wages."
"Why are they gone? We just happened to see the boss, we need to ask him where all these people's salaries went!" Lu Feng stared at Jiang Quan and said, "Where's the money?"
The moment the name Lu Feng was uttered, many people in the room felt their hearts clench violently. The director, Li Zhiqi, and General Manager Sun stared at Lu Feng as if they wanted to kill him.
Isn't he just courting trouble? He's not afraid of getting into trouble, but if President Jiang is unhappy, these people won't be able to escape.
"Who are you? A construction worker?" Jiang Quan stared at Lu Feng, feeling that something was off. The way this man spoke to him made him very uncomfortable.
The young man in front of me showed absolutely no sense of awe!
The doors to all the offices were still open. Some of the bolder ones, unafraid of being caught by their superiors, stood at the door watching furtively. When they saw Lu Feng questioning President Jiang face to face, their hearts jumped into their throats.
“I’m helping them collect their debts!” Lu Feng replied.
"Debt collection? What debt? It's just a method of delaying wages, how did it become a debt? And you're hiring these idle socialites to storm the office, what are you trying to do?" Jiang Quan stared at Lu Feng and shouted, "Get out!"
"Postponed? Until when?"
"What's it to you? This is an internal company matter." Factory Manager Li stepped forward, staring at Lu Feng and threateningly saying, "Young man, don't stick your neck out. Those who dare to be the first to stick their necks out get shot!"
"I stood up for myself today, but where's my salary? Where's my money?" Lu Feng asked.
Hao Liu realized that Lu Feng was a brainless idiot who thought that just because he caught someone and asked them questions, they would treat him like he was, simply giving him a few perfunctory answers to get rid of him. He would have plenty of time to settle scores with him later.
"Let's go, stop asking, let's try to understand." Hao Liu said, pulling Lu Feng towards the stairwell.
"Let go of me!" Lu Feng broke free from Hao Liu's grasp and asked Jiang Quan, "Where's the money? Speak up, don't stay silent!"
A dozen or so security guards rushed up from the stairwell and blocked it instantly. Behind them followed about twenty thugs, all shaking their heads and clearly not to be trifled with.
The migrant workers who were alone secretly lamented their fate, thinking they should have gone down earlier; otherwise, if a fight broke out, they might have gotten beaten up for nothing.
Seeing this situation, Hao Liu was already in despair. He quietly pushed Xiao Henan back, signaling him to stand back. The others present were also trembling with fear.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Jiang Quan addressed everyone present: "These people will have their pay docked today!"
"What right do you have to deduct money?" Lu Feng asked, staring at him.
"Can you please stop talking?" Hao Liu was so anxious he was almost sweating. He had never seen anyone so clueless.
"I can deduct it as I please, and I'll tell you frankly, I don't know if I'll even get paid next year. I'll pay when I'm in a good mood, and I won't when I'm not." Jiang Quan said to Lu Feng, "Someone like you will never get paid by me in your entire life."
"Wow, that's impressive. You have to post this today, or you won't be able to leave," Lu Feng said, looking at him.
"Who the hell are you? Damn it, I bet you don't know who I am!" Li Zhiqi couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing at Lu Feng. He was about to make a move when a group of security guards and thugs were watching.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately became tense. The migrant workers present were cursing Lu Feng to death in their hearts. He was really more trouble than he was worth.
Lu Feng didn't want to waste any more time arguing with them, so he turned to Jiang Quan and asked, "So, you knew this salary hadn't been paid, and you were covering for it up. From the bottom up, you're all in cahoots. What? You think the emperor's reach is too far to reach you? Nobody can control you?"
"Oh, right, it's just that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so what?" Factory Director Li sneered, "What can you do about it? Go ahead and sue me if you dare."
