Treasure Appraisal: I Can See the Future

Migrant workers come out to suffer and work hard to support their families. Usually, the construction site provides food and accommodation. Except for some smokers, most of them have no other expenses. Except for some old and unserious people who occasionally go out for health care, basically three or two hundred yuan a month is enough.

They all work for a few months, and when they leave to go home, they settle their wages all at once and save up a large sum to take home. No one asks the contractor to pay wages every month, so the construction site owes wages for three or four months at once, which is a normal problem.

But basically, as long as anyone needs money, they can find the contractor and pay it immediately, so everyone is unwilling to accept this salary issue.

Now it is difficult for Laogui Zhao Yingpeng to make money, and it is indeed three or four months after working, and some of them have reached the time to go home, so everyone can't help but worry.

"Yes, Brother Gui is such a good person, and this situation has never happened before. There must be something wrong now, otherwise it would be difficult to pay out!"

"Normally, one or two people need to pay out money, at most 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and Brother Gui has a hard time taking it out. We now have 200 to 300 people, and if all the wages are settled, it must be 5 or 6 million. Brother Gui definitely can't take it out!"

"It's his business whether to pay it out or not. We worked hard for him, and he has to pay us wages. This is a matter of course. He can't pay us less than a penny. We all earn our money through hard work!"

"Everyone, stop thinking about it, go ask Brother Gui what's going on. If this continues, everyone will feel uneasy and have no energy to work! ”

“I went to Brother Gui’s office a few days ago and heard that Brother Gui seemed to be speculating in stocks. I heard that the price was fluctuating wildly. Brother Gui seemed to have lost a lot of money in it, so he couldn’t pay the workers. Brother Gui was also calling the head office, urging them to pay the project money!”

“Let’s go and ask Brother Gui what’s going on. If Brother Gui says he has money, then we can pay the wages. This will save everyone from worrying about it. If Brother Gui really has a problem, we definitely can’t work here anymore!”

“Yes, let’s do it!”

Everyone was talking about it. When they thought that they might not get their hard-earned money, they couldn’t help blushing. Then, under the leadership of Lao Wang, one or two hundred people gathered together, and Su Qi followed them, and went directly to Lao Gui Zhao Yingpeng’s office.

Two-thirds of the workers on the construction site gathered together. Such a big commotion had already alarmed the old man Zhao Yingpeng. When he came out and saw one or two hundred people, his heart skipped a beat, his sharp eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "Brothers, what's the matter?"

"Ahem!"

The tall and burly old Wang, who was considered a small foreman, stood up. His red face was a little uncomfortable, but he still said, "Boss, we have been working for three or four months this year. Some brothers have reached the time to go home. We all have elderly parents and young children. Every month has a large expenditure, but now you haven't received a month's salary. Everyone came to ask you when you can pay the salary and pay some of the salary to everyone."

Many migrant workers looked at them expectantly.

They are not afraid of delaying the salary for a while, but they are afraid that they will not get the salary in the end. When they have a family to support, who can they cry to?

The old Jiang couple also kept silent. Although they trusted the old man Zhao Yingpeng very much, it was a fact that they had not received their salary. As middle-aged people with children to raise and elderly people to support, they could only put trust aside and talk about practical needs.

Su Qi frowned slightly when he looked at Zhao Yingpeng from top to bottom!

"Oh, so that's what happened!"

Although he knew the answer, Zhao Yingpeng grinned and waved his hand: "That's right, everyone has been working for three or four months this year. Except for some brothers who have received wages, most of them have not received their wages yet. It is indeed time to pay wages. Let's do this. Everyone go to work first. I will call to adjust the money first, and then settle the accounts for everyone. How about paying everyone in three days? Those who should go home will be paid in full, and those who don't need to go home will be paid half. Those who need to go home should also tell me first so that I can calculate the specific amount."

"Oh!"

Seeing that the boss was so sincere and gave a specific date, the hanging hearts of many migrant workers were immediately put down unconsciously. The team leader Lao Wang was also a little embarrassed and said: "Then Brother Ghost, we will wait for the wages in three days. In fact, it's not that we don't believe you, but there are old and young people at home. Which family doesn't have four or five people waiting for us to eat? If you really have money, you won't come to the construction site, so everyone needs money!"

Su Qi nodded unconsciously.

All migrant workers come from the lower classes and are the main labor force in their families. They have no other options, so they come to earn this kind of hard-earned money.

They are most worried that they will not get the hard-earned money in the end.

"I understand, I understand!"

Old ghost Zhao Yingpeng waved his hand and said with a confident look: "EveryoneI understand your worry. I used to be a migrant worker, so I know how hard it is to support a family. You guys should go back to work. The total salary still owes me nearly 30 million in project fees. I will go to the head office to withdraw a few million, and we will pay your wages in three days. ”

After getting confirmation again, many migrant workers didn’t say anything. Under the leadership of Lao Wang, they left silently one by one, and they all made up their minds to wait for another three days.

Su Qi glanced at the confident Zhao Yingpeng, and raised the corner of his lips slightly but didn’t say anything: This guy is really cunning. He obviously has no idea in his heart, but he is confident, as if going to the head office to withdraw millions is as easy as withdrawing toilet paper.

As soon as everyone left, Zhao Yingpeng, who was full of confidence, returned to the office, closed the door immediately, slumped in the boss chair, grabbed a few bald heads fiercely, frowned tightly, then took out his mobile phone to dial a number, took a deep breath and squeezed out a flattering smile, and even his voice became flattering: "Brother Niu, I am Xiaogui, I come to report to you how the project is progressing... The construction period is about this, and it will definitely be completed on schedule. Brother Niu, I have something to tell you. I have already completed two of the three phases of the project. You haven't paid me last year's project payment. Now I haven't received any salary for three or four months. The workers on the construction site have started a strike today. I have lost a lot of money in the stock market recently. I almost want to jump off the building. Can you pay me a batch of project payment first so that I can get through this difficult time... What, Brother Niu, don't be like this. You are such a big boss. If you have a little money left, it will be enough to pay the migrant workers' wages... Hey, Brother Niu, Brother Niu, don't hang up! Fuck you, Niu Meng, you bastard, you owe me money, but I don't owe you money, but you are pretending to pay it back like a big shot. Fuck your mother, you are going to force me to death! Let me hold on for another three months. I have been holding on for three years. I don't even have money to support my mistress. What else do you want me to hold on with, fuck your mother! "

He got to the point in a humble and roundabout way, but the other party hung up the phone immediately after saying that he would hold on for another three or two months. Zhao Yingpeng, the old ghost, could not help but jump up, slammed his fist on the table, and could not help cursing.

Su Qi followed everyone back to the construction site and immediately started working as a rebar worker, which seemed to have a very promising career. The same was true for others; after all, working one day would earn one more day's salary, and the boss said to wait for three days anyway.

With Zhao Yingpeng's good reputation as a foundation, the migrant workers were very well behaved for three days. They went to work on time every day and worked, ate, rested, and smoked as usual. Smoking, chatting, gossiping, gambling, and Su Qi, like the previous days, was like a firefighter every day, an all-round steel worker. After get off work, he sensed the subtle changes in people's moods, observed people and adjusted his own mental changes, and continued to practice in the world.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. When this group of people appeared at the door of Lao Gui's office with hope, they suddenly found that the office door was locked, and even Lao Gui's BMW X5 was gone. Lao Wang, Lao Jiang and many other migrant workers immediately changed their faces.

"Brother Gui, what's going on? Didn't you say that the salary would be paid today? How come he disappeared, the office was locked, and the car was gone!"

"He must have not raised the money, so he didn't dare to come to see us today; I said three days ago that he was just a delaying tactic at the time, and you all didn't believe it. Now it's good to work for three more days!"

"Don't worry, wait a little longer, maybe Brother Gui hasn't come to get the money yet! ”

“What are you afraid of? The construction site is still here. If something happens to Brother Gui and he can’t pay the wages, we will go to the Shanghai government to make trouble. Now we have the country to support us migrant workers, who dares to delay our wages!”

“Call the boss, we will wait for him here and see what he says!”

The man was gone and the car was gone, and everyone immediately talked about it. Some people said that Brother Gui should not have been given three days, some used the country as a shield to cheer themselves up, and some hurriedly called Zhao Yingpeng. The scene was extremely solemn.

“The call didn’t go through! "

The faces of the people who made the call sank, and they all leaked the news, and the scene immediately became a mess; the leaders among the migrant workers, such as Lao Wang, Lao Zhang, and Lao Li, all had gloomy faces, and smoked one cigarette after another.

Su Qi remained silent among the crowd, but he could sense the complex and contradictory emotions in everyone's hearts: everyone also had some feelings for the old ghost Zhao Yingpeng, but feelings were feelings, but they all had to support their families, and their children and parents were not well fed, so it would be crazy to talk about brotherhood with others; now that it has come to this point, it is clear that there is a problem with the boss, and how can they get their wages if they don't make a fuss, and it will not look good if they make a fuss, but they still have to make a fuss.

Ding Dong!While Su Qi was pondering everyone's thoughts, his cell phone suddenly rang. He clicked it and was surprised. It was a friend request from his boss Zhao Yingpeng. After adding him, a series of messages appeared: Ah Yin, I am your Brother Gui. Although I have not been to the construction site, I can probably guess what is going on there. You can probably guess what is going on here. I went to the head office and stayed there for three days, begging for money and almost kneeling down, but I didn't get a dime. I really can't pay you. Although you have only been at the construction site for a short time, Brother Gui has heard about you from Brother Jiang and Sister Jiang, and knows that you are a very loyal brother. Now Brother Gui has thought of a way. He needs a reliable person to help Brother Gui perform a self-torture trick. Let's go to the head office together to collect the debt. Are you willing to help Brother Gui do this!
