As soon as Gu Weiguo spoke, Aunt Zhang and the others exchanged glances, their expressions constantly changing.
To be honest, they're starting to doubt the Gu family's words.
after all.
Would Gu Qingqing act recklessly without Gu Weiguo's permission?
Just as they hesitated, Old Mrs. Gu spoke up:
"Everyone, if you don't trust the second young master, do you think I don't trust Mom either? I'm giving you a promise today: your wages will definitely not be less, and your severance pay will definitely not be less either. Everyone will get at least that amount!"
Grandma Gu held up one finger.
It means 100 yuan.
Hearing that Old Madam Gu had made a promise, Aunt Zhang glanced at everyone and said, "Old Madam, we naturally believe what you and the Second Young Master say. Alright, we'll go back with you."
Chen Hong added, "However, if you refuse to pay and keep making excuses to delay payment, then we will definitely come and report you to the police."
Although Wu Jianguo really wanted them to settle things here, none of them had filed a police report, and he had no right to keep them there. He could only say, "Comrades, if the Gu family really owes you wages and makes excuses for it, then you must come to the police station to file a police report as soon as possible. We will definitely get justice for you."
With Wu Jianguo's assurance, Aunt Zhang, Chen Hong, and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They all said, "Officer, thank you so much. If the Gu family continues to delay paying our wages for various reasons, we will definitely come and report it to the police."
"Yes, Officer, thank you so much."
Gu Weiguo's expression changed constantly as he heard their words. Although he was very unhappy and repressed, these servants were just lowly commoners, yet they came here to cause trouble and even took it to the police station.
In his view, this was a threat to their ability to take care of their families.
When did Gu Jia ever allow himself to be threatened by some lowly commoners?
But he could only suppress his anger and said directly, "Everyone, don't worry, we will absolutely not withhold your wages. There must be some misunderstanding here!"
Speaking of which...
He also said to Wu Jianguo, "Captain Wu, don't worry. There were some communication problems on our part with the Gu family, but it's not a big problem. We're sure we can resolve it well. Don't worry."
"I must say, Captain Wu, you are truly a responsible and dedicated comrade. I have high hopes for you!"
After Gu Weiguo finished speaking, he said to Aunt Zhang and the others, "Everyone, come back with us now. I will take care of your affairs tonight and I will definitely not let you down."
With Gu Weiguo and Grandma Gu's assurances, Aunt Zhang and the others finally nodded and followed them out of the police station.
Wu Jianguo could only watch them leave.
On their way back, Grandma Gu and Gu Weiguo deliberately bumped into each other. Grandma Gu asked in a low voice, "Weiguo, what's going on? Why did you suddenly send all these people away? If you send them away, who will serve us?"
This is why Old Madam Gu felt most sorry for Gu Weiguo; otherwise, she would have been furious if she had seen the servants who served her being driven away.
After all, she was the one in charge of the Gu family.
How could she allow the Gu family to dismiss these servants without her consent?
Gu Weiguo said in a low voice, "Mom, the reason I fired all these servants is because I received some definite news at the banquet tonight, and it is very unfavorable to our capitalist families."
"What news?" Old Mrs. Gu trembled and her expression changed slightly.
The fact that Gu Weiguo would say something like that shows that this news is definitely not ordinary.
Gu Weiguo said in a low voice, "I have received definite information that the higher-ups are going to take action against capitalists, especially large families like ours."
"So, the first thing I wanted to do after I got back was to dismiss our family's servants. After all, having so many servants in our family would definitely make people jealous and lead to them reporting us, which would cause unnecessary trouble."
"Moreover, dismissing them will make things easier for us to do next."
"Because this has come to a critical moment for the survival of our family."
Upon hearing Gu Weiguo's words, Old Madam Gu trembled, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Are the higher-ups going to make a move against these powerful families?
What are they trying to do?
She asked in a low voice, "Weiguo, is what you're saying true? Is the news reliable?"
Gu Weiguo nodded vigorously: "It's true, the news is confirmed."
"Mom, I'll talk to you about the specifics after we get back and resolve the issue with these servants. It concerns the very survival of our Gu family, so we can't treat it lightly."
