521: Chapter 521 In Xilin City, wage arrears are not allowed.

How could this be allowed!

Everyone is counting on this money to go home for the New Year!

Many workers gathered together, with no heart to work, discussing the issue of unpaid wages.

After some deliberation, a group of them went to find the boss again.

Of course, it was the same as last time, still with no results.

Last time, the boss had made excuses and tried to hoodwink them, but this time he simply played an "empty city strategy," and the workers couldn't find him at all.

One worker was quite extreme and impulsive; he climbed directly onto the highest nearby high-voltage transmission tower, saying that if the boss didn't pay the wages, he would jump down and commit suicide.

In a while, many people gathered here, mostly workers, but also some onlookers, and even several police officers arrived.

After much persuasion, the boss finally appeared and made some promises, and only then did the worker come down.

However...

The boss's promises were just like farting; knowing that the extreme worker had calmed down and would basically not do such a thing again, he simply played the "empty city strategy" again.

A few days passed, and the Lunar New Year was a few days closer.

Suddenly, someone rushed over excitedly and shouted, "Brothers, I heard that a high-ranking leader is coming to our construction site to inspect this morning. We can directly report the wage arrears to the leader."

Most of them were excited, thinking this was a good idea.

But a small number were worried and warned, "They are high-ranking leaders. If we go directly to report such things to them, will we suffer for it?"

"We are already in this state, why worry about that!"

"Exactly, exactly, the worst result is just not getting the wages back!"

"Anyway, I'm not afraid. If everyone goes to find the leader together, count me in!"

"Count me in too!"

"..."

Yang Xingcheng became the leader, taking twenty or thirty workers, ready to find the leader who was coming for investigation and inspection.

Because the New Year was approaching, these days, whenever he had time, Qin Chuan would go down to walk around, treating it as an investigation and inspection.

The focus was also specific, paying more attention to the payment situation of the migrant worker brothers, but the situation was not optimistic; wage arrears seemed to have become a norm.

What's worse, for the whole year, they basically didn't pay money, just giving living expenses. At the end of the year, they might settle a portion, but many had to wait until next year, or even two or three years to clear it.

This won't do!

Having worked his way up from the grassroots level, having served as a Township Party Committee Secretary and a County Party Secretary, Qin Chuan knew the situation of the ordinary people at the bottom very well.

Everyone is counting on this little bit of money for the New Year, yet, you still delay it and only pay a portion.

Today, Qin Chuan arrived at this construction site. Accompanied by a large group of people, including the person in charge of this real estate company and the construction site manager, he wore a hard hat and went deep into the construction site to investigate and understand the situation.

The boss of this real estate enterprise accompanied him and introduced the situation here.

"Secretary Qin, our situation is quite good. We will not delay the construction period, we will definitely guarantee the delivery of the houses on time, and there will absolutely be no unfinished buildings."

This real estate boss was almost patting his chest, making a series of guarantees.

There were many workers watching around. Everyone was curious; this leader looked only in his thirties. What exactly was his rank that so many people were accompanying him, like stars surrounding the moon.

The surroundings were very lively, and there were many onlookers.

Suddenly, a group of migrant workers approached. The leading migrant worker shouted loudly, "Leader, please help us!"

Beside him, quite a few migrant workers raised pieces of cardboard, on which large characters were written with a brush: Please help us!

Obviously, this was made temporarily. The cardboard was just corrugated cardboard commonly seen on construction sites, and the large characters on it were not even dry yet.

The boss of this enterprise's face sank. Damn it, I am patting my chest making a series of guarantees to Secretary Qin, and you guys rush out like this; aren't you just making trouble?

Some supervisors and cadres below even reprimanded these people to get down immediately.

"What is going on with you!"

"Yang Xingcheng, are you preparing to lead a disturbance!"

"Get down, get down, get out of here immediately!"

Facing such reprimands, Yang Xingcheng and the others were a little afraid, but thinking of their own owed wages, they could only persist.

Fortunately, Secretary Qin Chuan did not drive them away, but instead stopped those people and then asked with great concern.

"Big brother, whatever the matter is, feel free to tell me. Don't be afraid of them."

Feeling the care radiating from Qin Chuan, Yang Xingcheng gathered his courage, "Leader, our wages have been owed for a year. It will be the New Year in less than a month, and now there is not a shadow of a penny. Can you please help us get the owed wages?"

It's another case of owed wages!

Qin Chuan's face sank slightly, and he immediately became serious, "General Manager Zhang, what is going on here?"

The real estate boss, General Manager Zhang, accompanied him with a smiling face and explained, "Secretary Qin, don't listen to this group of people. We have paid the wages on time and in full every month; there is no such thing as arrears."

Yang Xingcheng said loudly, "No, there is absolutely none. Except for the one thousand yuan we can receive as living expenses every month, not a single cent of the other money has been paid, and it has been in arrears all along."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan radiated powerful majesty from head to toe, "General Manager Zhang, I don't care about anything, and I don't want to hear your explanations. I will give you two days. If the owed wages are not paid in full to every migrant worker brother within 48 hours, I will hold you solely responsible!"

General Manager Zhang quickly said, "Yes, yes, we will definitely pay in full!"

Facing Secretary Qin Chuan, even if he had ten thousand guts, he wouldn't dare to play dumb anymore.

Just now, saying that it was paid in full every month was a lie.

According to his understanding, if he said that, leaders basically wouldn't continue to ask. Who knew that Qin Chuan was completely different; he immediately took it seriously and only gave him two days.

Glaring at this General Manager Zhang, Qin Chuan said, "Secretary Yuan Hua, give this big brother a contact method."

Secretary Yuan Hua quickly took out his business card from his briefcase, "Big brother, this is my contact information. If you don't receive the owed wages within two days, call my phone directly and report it to me."

Yang Xingcheng accepted this business card with full gratitude, took a look, and then was shocked; it was actually the Municipal Party Secretary's secretary.

Then the leader in front of him should be the rumored Secretary Qin Chuan. I heard that Secretary Qin always truly does practical things for the common people and stands up for them. It looks like it's true.

With deep gratitude on his face, Yang Xingcheng quickly said, "Secretary Qin, thank you, thank you for helping me get the owed wages."

Qin Chuan said, "The ones who should be thanked are you. Thank you for the efforts you have made for the development of this city. Everyone has worked hard."

"Secretary Qin has worked hard!"

"Thank you, Secretary Qin!"

The migrant worker brothers all around shouted one after another, and then, warm applause erupted at the scene, lasting for a long time.
