The people around were running faster than donkeys, craning their necks to look over here.
In full view of everyone, they saw the woman with disheveled hair sitting on the ground, clapping her hands and slapping her thighs, crying loudly.
"This damn boss won't pay my husband's salary. How are we going to survive?"
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Zheng Haiyang's face turned completely black.
A man wearing glasses and looking like a scholar parked his bicycle, stood at the front with his hands behind his back and said, "This community should be a commercial housing community specially approved by the government, right?
I heard that their boss is cooperating with Hong Kong businessmen.
Could it be that these black-hearted people stole my salary?
"Hey, that's really possible. Someone said before that the boss doesn't pay wages every day, but every month."
The old man was picking his teeth as he spoke. The other woman frowned in dissatisfaction: "What you said is totally unreasonable. Even the wages at the state-owned factory are paid once a month."
"When he recruited workers, he calculated the wages based on the day. Why can't he pay them on a daily basis?"
Zheng Haiyang was amused by the old man's words and said directly: "What this uncle said is a bit funny. We are all rushing to meet deadlines at this construction site.
If a worker comes today, doesn't come tomorrow, and comes back the day after tomorrow, how do we assign work to him?
Each person is responsible for a small area, and it takes at least ten to fifteen days to complete the work, and then there is acceptance inspection.
Anyone who fails to perform up to standard will be sent back to do it again.
I'll pay you back every day. Who's responsible for our project?
Who is responsible for the people? They spent a lot of money to buy a house, is it just to buy a shoddy construction?"
The last sentence is deafening!
Even Lu Zhiye looked at Zheng Haiyang with a higher opinion.
This statement was highly agreed by those present.
"Oh my, this manager is a very responsible person!"
"I think what they said makes a lot of sense. People like this shouldn't withhold workers' wages, right?
Sister, are you mistaken?
I heard that this big boss has subcontractors under him.
Could it be that the boss paid the bill, but the contractor didn't?"
What the man with glasses said caught everyone's attention.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The woman's crying paused, and then she cried even louder: "I am a woman, and I can't even find the contractor.
I have no choice but to come here to find the boss. Besides, my husband has already said that it is the boss above who won’t pay me.”
Seeing her repeating the same words over and over again, Lu Zhiye felt helpless. He waved at Zheng Haiyang and whispered, "Go and check. What's her husband's name? Which team does he belong to?
Contact the contractor directly and ask what's going on."
Zheng Haiyang's expression was tense. "I'll do it right away. Also, do these people need to be dealt with?"
Lu Zhiye looked at everyone with a half-smile: "No, I still need these people to increase my popularity."
After Zheng Haiyang left, Lu Zhiye waved to the old man who opened the door.
The old man felt a chill on his back and hurried over: "Boss Lu, what do you want?"
"The watermelons should be harvested now, right? I remember there's a village nearby that grows watermelons. Go there with your tractor and buy some."
The old man was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask too much. He quickly ran to the yard and asked people to drive away on the tractor.
The rumbling sound made people's ears ring, and the crowd was in an uproar: "Why did he drive away? The matter has not been resolved yet!"
Lu Zhiye raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down: "Comrades, don't worry, since you two have come to me, I will definitely solve the problem for you.
I've just arranged for someone to check it out. There's a tree over there, how about we sit in the shade and discuss it?"
The woman looked at Lu Zhiye, then at the group of people behind her.
As if sensing her doubts, Lu Zhiye quickly said, "Don't worry, female comrade. The reason I didn't ask you to go to the yard is that I wanted everyone to be a witness.
If it is really someone under me who pretends to obey orders but secretly embezzles funds and fails to pay the workers' wages, I will definitely give you an explanation.
I will pay your man double his salary.
You guys can also stay here for a while and bear witness."
Everyone chattered and discussed, and finally decided to sit under the shade of a tree to see what was going on.
About half an hour later, Zheng Haiyang handed a document to Lu Zhiye.
The old man who was pulling watermelons also drove a tractor and came over with a rumble.
Zheng Haiyang knew what was going on immediately and quickly told everyone to unload the watermelons. He said to the crowd, "Our President Lu said that it's very hot and it's not easy for everyone, so he brought a truckload of watermelons to help everyone cool down."
Several young men got off the car. They were usually good at work. They quickly returned to the house and cut the watermelon into pieces with machetes.
As they ate their watermelons, everyone exclaimed, "This commercial property owner is really honest."
"That's right, I wonder what the price of his commercial housing is?
How big is it? Can we afford it?
The man with glasses took a big bite of watermelon, pushed his glasses up, and looked back and forth at the building in front of him.
An old lady sneered vaguely, "I've inquired about this. It's 1,000 yuan per square meter. The small square meters are only 50 to 60 square meters, which comes out to 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. Who can afford it?"
Not to mention you, the guy who gets his salary and then can't wait to eat it all up! "
The man who was scolded by the old lady glared at her and said, "Aunt Yu, I don't like what you said.
Didn’t the government say that loans are still available?
We pay a few thousand yuan, and take out a loan for the rest, which is deducted from our salary every month. We can still afford it.
Besides, I think this boss is honest and trustworthy. If there are any problems with the house in the future, I can just go to him and he will solve them. That’s why I asked.”
The people around all curled their lips, saying that it was the 1,000 yuan per square meter that scared everyone away.
Lu Zhiye stood up and handed a document to the man wearing glasses: "Comrade, judging from your attire, you must be an intellectual, right?"
The man with glasses suddenly stood up straight, coughed twice, and said with pride in his voice: "He did have a few years of education!"
"That's perfect. I'd also like this comrade to read out our salary distribution for everyone.
All construction team salary allocations are included above.
The only deposit that the construction team needs to pay to the general construction party is 2,000 yuan.
If the house is subsequently confirmed to have no quality issues, the deposit will be returned to the construction team."
The man quickly wiped his hands on his clothes and carefully took the document.
