Chapter 143 Very Expensive
Xu Youyou took a casual look and saw that the middle-aged man was wearing a dirty worker's uniform, with messy hair and bloodshot eyes. He looked very poor.
Director Chen said helplessly, "Lao Fang, I'm not targeting you. You've seen the situation in the factory. I owe the bank a large sum of money now, so I really don't have any spare money to give you..."
Xu Youyou looked at the man called Lao Fang and suddenly became angry. Her eyes fell on Xu Youyou, who was dressed well and had a good appearance. "Mr. Chen, a coworker just said that you took money to play with women. I didn't believe it at first, but now I see it! You beast, you don't even want to give me my hard-earned money. I...I'm going to kill you!"
Lao Fang took out a fruit knife from his waist and rushed towards Director Chen.
This sudden change happened extremely quickly and was beyond anyone's expectations. With the idea of dying together, Lao Fang moved quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, and the knife was about to stab Director Chen.
A bodyguard who was closer to Director Chen stepped forward almost instinctively.
Even though Lao Fang had a knife in his hand, he was facing bodyguards who were well-trained and had strong physiques.
Soon the knife fell to the ground and Lao Fang was pinned to the ground by the bodyguard.
Director Chen's face was pale and his body was shaking slightly. The knife was very close to him, and Lao Fang's hateful eyes were still lingering in his mind.
If he wasn't Xu Youyou's bodyguard, he might have faced Lao Fang alone. He was unprepared and the knife might have hit him hard. He would be in great danger.
"Lao Fang, you have worked in our factory for more than ten years. Why are you so confused? It's just that you are not able to help at the moment. When I have money, will you continue to delay paying me?" Director Chen asked.
Lao Fang’s eyes were red at this time: “My daughter is only three years old... I need money for medical treatment... I have borrowed money from all my relatives... She has to live... You have money to pay the deposit... but you don’t have money to pay us wages... I don’t accept it...”
Lao Fang's behavior seemed understandable, and Chen Changzi felt mixed emotions.
Xu Youyou remained calm and asked, "Director Chen, do you want to send this man to the public security agency?"
When Lao Fang heard this, he showed no fear: "I am a worthless person, and I will die if I die...but my daughter is only three years old...I beg you, at least give me my salary."
Director Chen looked at the collapsed man, hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Miss Xu, when I opened this factory, Lao Fang was one of the first workers. Although he wanted to kill me, I am not in any serious trouble now. Otherwise, don't send him to the public security organs."
Lao Fang was stunned when he heard this.
Director Chen sighed and said, "Lao Fang, I'm the same as you. I've borrowed all the money I can. I really don't have any money on me. All my money is tied up in the goods. I thought I could give you more bonuses after completing this big order, but... who could have thought!"
Lao Fang's eyes flashed with confusion: "My daughter...what should I do with my daughter..."
Xu Youyou asked: "How much salary do you owe him?"
"Lao Fang is a skilled worker in the factory. His basic salary is 2,000 yuan, plus commissions, and he is paid on a piece-rate basis. He has worked overtime a lot in the past two months, so he must be owed 20,000 yuan." Director Chen looked ashamed.
Lao Fang said, "Twenty-one thousand nine hundred and ninety-two yuan."
He remembered this number clearly; it was his daughter's life-saving money.
Xu Youyou asked again: "How many years have you worked in the factory? What is the average salary?"
"I have been working here for fifteen years. My daughter fell ill, so I have been working harder in the past two months. I usually earn five to six thousand yuan a month..." said Lao Fang.
Xu Youyou said to Director Chen: "I dare not keep a worker who makes trouble like this. If I take over this factory, I will fire him."
Director Chen thought of the heavy burden on Lao Fang's family and said, "Miss Xu, Lao Fang has a hard time too. If he hadn't been pushed into a corner, he wouldn't have been like this..."
Xu Youyou held him down and said some words of pity.
"I have always respected the labor law. You have worked here for 15 years. According to the regulations, I will pay you 16 months' salary, which is 10,000 yuan a month."
Lao Fang's eyes lit up instantly. If he could get an extra 160,000 yuan, his daughter's surgery fee would be covered. "I'm willing to be fired, but this money..."
Xu Youyou said to Xu Fang, "The 20,000 yuan in unpaid wages, plus the 160,000 yuan in dismissal compensation, you transfer 182,000 yuan to him, and I will count this money as a loan to Director Chen."
Lao Fang's eyes turned red, and two lines of tears fell on his wrinkled face: "Thank you... Thank you..."
Xu Youyou looked at Director Chen and said, "Director Chen, you won't blame me for acting on my own, will you?"
Director Chen said: "It is only right to give money to employees after they are fired."
Xu Youyou continued, "I'm a man of few words. You must write the IOU. If I really buy the factory, the money will be deducted directly from the employees' salaries."
Director Chen nodded: "I'll write it now."
He took out a piece of paper, wrote the IOU with a pen, and then pressed his fingerprint on it.
Xu Youyou kept the IOU and Xu Fang transferred the money. When Lao Fang saw the text message from the bank and looked at the balance in the account, tears streamed down his face again.
The bodyguards released their hands on Lao Fang, and he knelt down on the spot and was about to kowtow to Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou was stopped by the bodyguards: "This money is what you deserve, you don't have to thank me."
Old Fang nodded with sobs, and whispered "thank you" to Director Chen before he left with a staggering gait.
Director Chen sighed and said, "Miss Xu is a kindhearted person. I have run this factory for more than ten years. If it weren't for the fact that I really couldn't run it anymore, I wouldn't want to sell it."
Xu Youyou did not sense the greasy feeling from Director Chen like other middle-aged bosses. Instead, she could see that this man really wanted to do business. At this time, she also had the patience to listen to him talk about the story of setting up the factory.
Director Chen's factory does not have high profits, but he has a good reputation in the surrounding area and offers higher wages than other factories, so the villagers nearby are trying their best to get a job in his factory.
It is also for this reason that even though the workers were owed two months' wages, they did not run away on a large scale.
However, due to the speed limit, these cars were destined not to be put on the market. He did not think of fooling the buyers, but instead thought of a solution on his own.
At this time, he said hesitantly to Xu Youyou, "The workers' two-month salary, together with the bonus, is expected to be over 10 million. The factory's land was bought at a low price, and it also cost a lot of money to build the factory. The machines, equipment, and inventory in the factory may not look impressive, but when you add it all up, the price may be a bit expensive."
Upon hearing this, Xu Youyou calculated her own small treasury and felt that a factory like this would not cost tens of billions. Her psychological price was ten billion.
If it exceeds this number, she won't even pick up the leak.
Director Chen carefully gestured a number, his face full of guilt: "Maybe... maybe 80 million..."
Xu Youyou was relieved. She thought it was 800 million yuan, so she didn't even discuss the price on the spot: "Deal."
