Chapter 116 Fish are easily hooked by bait. People are greedy for profit and eventually fall into a trap.



Zhang Qi frowned, feeling uncomfortable, and didn't want to reminisce with Xue Bing anymore.

At first, he was also afraid that Xue Bing and the others would be deceived, but now that he sees them working, he is genuinely happy for them.

After starting work at the Han Group, the bus departs at 7 a.m. every day, and there's nothing to do until 2 or 3 p.m.

They had assumed that the people working in their factory wouldn't get off work until 5 p.m., so they sat and waited to finish. But then the big boss came and said, "Go home once you've finished your work. You're different from them who sit in the office; you don't need to wait to finish."

These grown men had never experienced leaving get off work at 2 a.m. before, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.

They get home by 2 or 3 pm every day, which makes their wives very happy. They start ordering them around, asking them to buy and wash vegetables, or pick up the children from school.

Although they were a little reluctant, they were quite happy to see their wife and children smiling more and the children becoming closer to them.

Actually, these men are quite easy to please. If they have money, free time, meat, and wine, they'll have a wonderful life!

Although I only receive a fixed salary each month without overtime pay, and I feel like I was tricked into joining because of the overtime pay clause, a salary of 5,000 yuan is actually considered above average in this city, enough to live a comfortable life.

Xue Bing held up two fingers: "I estimate I'll earn 20,000 this month! Hahaha, let me calculate, how many months' salary is that for you?"

Zhang Qi felt a little regretful, but thinking about his current leisurely life, he felt he should be content.

Earning 20,000 yuan by working yourself to the bone is not as good as this stable and leisurely life now.

Xue Bing is a young man; he should strive and take risks. I should leave the opportunities to the younger generation.

After consoling himself for a moment, Zhang Qi smiled and said, "Now that I've delivered the bus, I should go home. I need to pick up my son!"

Before parting, Zhang Qi added, "Xiao Xue, young people shouldn't be too arrogant, otherwise they won't be able to handle the good fortune that God gives them and they'll collapse! Don't just focus on making money, go to the hospital to see your mother when you have time."

"None of your business!" Xue Bing retorted angrily.

He was indeed only focused on making money this month and neglected his mother, having not visited her for a long time.

When it came time to settle wages at the end of the month, Xue Bing only received 2,000 yuan.

"Manager, this isn't right. How come there's only this much? I've calculated it myself, it should be 20,000!"

Old Jiang: "Why do I only have 1500 yuan? Manager, what's going on?"

"Mine is wrong too. Wasn't the base salary supposed to be 10,000?"

"How come I only have 1800? I'm clearly working harder than before! I leave early and come home late, and I hardly ever see my kids!"

A group of people surrounded the manager, wanting to argue with him, but another group of people blocked the manager's way.

These people look familiar.

There were colleagues who were hired together before, and people who were eliminated before. Aren't they the people in line ahead of them?

Xue Bing took a step back and turned to look at the people who were asking for their wages with him. They were all 35 people who had been interviewed by Han's Group at the same time, but who had stopped the interview process halfway through and came here for the interview. Not one more, not one less.

"You! You're all in cahoots!" Xue Bing shouted.

"Is it too late to realize this now?"

A man dressed in an elite style walked out, wearing a sharp suit, a folder in his hand, and silver-rimmed glasses. Two foreign black bodyguards stood beside him.

He had cut his hair, shaved, and trimmed his eyebrows, making him look completely different. But the group of people still recognized him as the young man who had brought them to the interview!

"You...you're one of them too?" Xue Bing clutched her chest, unable to bear it.

He has realized that this was a scam from beginning to end!

Andy waved the contract in his hand: "None of you even read the contract, no wonder you got scammed! Once you sign it, it means you not only bought the car on loan, but the ownership of the car doesn't belong to you, but to our logistics company!"

“I advise you not to cause trouble and to work hard. You took out a loan to buy the car, and you have to pay it back yourself! If you cause trouble now, you will lose your jobs and have no income. You won’t be able to sell the car, and you will face huge penalties for breach of contract!”

Xue Bing snatched the contract and read it carefully, word by word.

It wasn't a labor contract, just a subcontracting agreement! They never even received a formal employment contract!

My dream of earning over 10,000 yuan a month has been shattered! It's all a lie!

The real business world is never short of darkness.

Fish are attracted to bait and are easily hooked.

People who are greedy for profit will eventually fall into a trap.

Andy is very good at understanding people's hearts, and he also knows how to maintain appropriate boundaries.

He knew that under the current circumstances, these people would only choose to accept their fate rather than gamble with their lives, because he had investigated the background of each of them and found that they all had families to support, so they would not so easily risk their lives.

"Work hard, it's only for three years! Depending on your efforts, I'll give you a couple thousand a month to live on, at least enough to keep you from starving, right?"

If we don't give them a single penny to live on, we might really be driven to the brink of despair and fight them to the death. But the way we're doing this—slapping them and then giving them a sweet treat—is enough to make them work like donkeys, because they still have hope; the loan is due in three years.

Once they've paid off their loan in three years, they can leave the logistics company; the only loss they'll suffer is the effort they put in.

Andy narrowed his dangerous eyes, but once someone was in his hands, unless they worked for him and produced value, they had no reason to live.

...

Han Fei saw a person standing in front of the office door. When the person turned around, he saw his face clearly. It was Zhang Qi, the truck driver that Han Fei had personally recruited.

"Boss, I... I don't know what to do about this. The only capable person I know is you."

"Come in and speak."

Han Fei invited him into his office, asked him to sit down, and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Zhang Qi instinctively shook his head, then immediately nodded.

"Wait for me here." Han Fei went out and came back with a plate in his hand, containing two meat buns and a cup of hot milk tea.

"Even if the sky falls, you should still have enough to eat."

"Thank you, boss!"

After finishing his milk tea, Zhang Qi told Han Fei about Xue Bing and the others.

“They were all my former teammates. Although the team has disbanded, we still have a strong bond from all these years. Seeing them like this, I want to help them, but I really don’t know how.”

What's the name of that logistics company?

"Send the logistics company away."

Han Fei frowned, feeling that the name sounded familiar.

Sending someone away? That's really bad luck!

"I'll have someone from the legal department come over. You can ask them for details."

The Minister of Justice arrived with two trusted subordinates. After hearing the whole story, all three shook their heads.

"You can't do anything about it either?"

"It's all in black and white, they've signed it, and they have no evidence to prove that the other party is lying to them."

"The other party is very clever. He still gives them money every month. In the end, they haven't taken a single penny out of their pockets, have they? What are they suing them for?"

"This is a tricky case."

"According to the affiliation agreement, whether you earn a lot or a little is up to fate, so it's hard to determine if it's a scam to steal manpower."

“I’ve encountered similar situations before, and I always lost in the end. I continued to appeal to higher courts, but they were almost always rejected.”

"Is there absolutely no hope? For the past three years, they've essentially sold themselves cheaply to that guy named Andy!" Zhang Qi said with a bitter face.

Han Fei suddenly stood up and pressed, "What was that person's name?"

Zhang Qi said indignantly, "The person we saw off was the property management company boss, Andy. He's the one who mingled among us for the interview last time and then suddenly said he saw a high-paying job posting! He clearly has the face of a Chinese person, but he's a foreign citizen and doesn't admit he's Chinese!"

Han Fei's heart pounded wildly.

That's a big fish!

If he remembered correctly, Xiao Liu's adoptive father was named Andy, and he did indeed own a logistics company in China, but the goods that company delivered were... internal organs!
