CHAPTER XIX
On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Yadong called, but due to the shortage of personnel, Li Tianchou finally did not go to the appointment. Xiao Yadong didn't care, so he chatted briefly on the phone, and then hung up.
At noon, Wu Jianguo rushed back from his hometown in a hurry, arriving two days earlier than the planned holiday. It can be seen that he has not had a good year this year, and the captain must have told him about the murder at the first time of the accident.
In the dormitory, I had a simple lunch with Li Tianchou. Wu Jianguo took this opportunity to understand what happened from beginning to end, although he was surprised by the adventures of his comrades-in-arms, he hurried to find the captain without saying anything.
Regarding Andy's matter, the company's attitude has changed from ambiguous to chaotic and increasingly tough, which makes Wu Jianguo very angry. Li Tianchou didn't feel good in his heart, so he didn't deliberately persuade his comrades-in-arms, he felt that at this time, everyone should try their best to help Andy's family fight for what they deserved.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, outside the farmers' market, small vendors have come out one after another, and the stalls are varied, and the snacks alone are dazzling, such as bean fish, spiced eggs, grilled seafood stalls, rice rolls, etc., to name a few. Outside the back door of the community, the former bustle and complexity have resumed.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Li Tianchou slipped to the back door and took a closer look, although there were many types of stalls, there was really no kind of wonton stall in the north, which was a good opportunity, so he squatted on the ground nearby and chatted with the old king of the dried tofu stall.
It's not as simple as it seems: to set up a stall on the side of the road is quite complicated. Physical examination, health permit, industrial and commercial registration, etc., the same can not be missing, N yamen, regardless of the size, all have to go through, until a bunch of cards are received, before they can be allowed to set up stalls.
Of course, there are also a lot of wild stalls, so you don't have to do anything, but when the industry and commerce and the city come, you have to run away immediately. And the market management office is also strictly investigated, I heard that there is also a gang of gangsters, who do not pay the booth fee, they beat people to collect things, and they are ruthless.
Li Tianchou was quite emotional when he heard this, it is not easy to make a living. He handed Lao Wang a cigarette, learned more about the application process for setting up a stall, thanked him, and went back to the dormitory.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the dormitory, Li Tianchou ran into Wu Jianguo, who had come back from dinner, and wondered in his heart, "Jianguo, did you have lunch so late?"
"Don't mention it, I'm so busy in the morning that I don't even have time to fart. Hey, that's annoying. Wu Jianguo complained.
"Andy's matter hasn't been resolved yet?"
"It's early, it's getting bigger. You are in class in the morning, you may not know that Andy's family members went to the head office to make trouble. The security guard over there did not let him in, and the two sides were stiff, just as the company's No. 2 boss Mr. Wang's car was about to enter the gate, and was blocked by Andy's family. The people on both sides were pulling and pulling at first, and somehow they got into a fight, and even the police went. ”
"How could this be done?" Li Tianchou was taken aback.
"Alas......" Wu Jianguo sighed, looked left and right, stretched out his finger and pointed to the staircase, and motioned to go back to the dormitory. The comrades-in-arms were so careful, but Li Tianchou was quite unimpressed, but he didn't ramble anymore, and the two went upstairs and went back to the room in a sullen voice.
After the door was closed tightly, Wu Jianguo didn't care about eating, and told the story of the incident like a bamboo tube pouring beans. Li Tianchou listened to the churning of his blood and blood, and then looked at the expressions of his comrades-in-arms, and he was not very angry.
The company's approach is very unkind, and the things that were originally easy to solve are finally complicated by dragging them around. Now that there is more trouble, I don't know what kind of wind the head office suddenly smoked, and sent a troublesome deputy manager of the personnel department to deal with Andy's affairs. But this kid doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, he is a pure son, and he is still above the top, and he looks down on the wage earner at all. When receiving Andy's family, his attitude was arrogant, and he insulted them and wanted to extort money, which finally provoked the family.
Andy's family is naturally unrelenting, especially his brother-in-law is also the master of the whole thing, the lion opened his mouth, this fee, that fee is a lot of money, the company will not accept it at all, and the two sides will make a big fuss.
"Anyway, a slap doesn't make a sound, and the troublemaker pulled a piece of, and now I don't know where to hide. Wu Jianguo said, and took a few bites of rice.
"What is the company's plan? Is there any sincerity to talk about it? For example, the standard of the pension should at least be discussed. Li Tianchou couldn't help but ask.
Wu Jianguo was stunned, this is indeed the crux of the problem. He was busy in the middle of the road, mainly according to the above explanation to comfort and comfort Andy's family. As for the pension, the company has never paid him the truth, maybe the level is not enough, thinking of this, he replied vaguely, "Lao Hao should be clear, there should be a plan, right?"
Li Tianchou sneered in his heart, his old comrades-in-arms are really kind and bulliful, and they don't even understand the key issues, no wonder the work is not easy to do. This also shows that the company is not sincere in talking at all. No matter how much the pension is, there is a complete difference between having and not being there, which means a lot to Andy's family, even if it is given a little more, it is just a drizzle of money for such a large company. But what he couldn't figure out was why the company would self-destruct its image for a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning?
"In fact, if both sides give way, there is room for maneuver. The problem is that the contradiction is out of control, and now a relative of Andy is still lying in the hospital, fuck, the old account has not been resolved, and a new account has been added, what is this called. Wu Jianguo seemed to still have illusions, but when he mentioned the question behind him, he shook his head and sighed heavily.
At this time, a security guard hurriedly ran into the dormitory, out of breath, "Captain Wu, the company called you over, there is something urgent." Andy's dormitory and a few fellow villagers went to the head office to petition. ”
Wu Jianguoteng stood up immediately, "This, I don't even let people eat food." With that, he picked up his hat and walked out. Li Tianchou said: "I'll go with you." ”
Wu Jianguo waved his hand, "Don't mix it up." ”
Li Tianchou was depressed, so he followed downstairs without hesitation, but Wu Jianguo had already run away on his bicycle.
"Tianchou, what are you doing here? I didn't find you when I went to the dormitory just now. Liang Hui's voice came from behind him.
Li Tianchou looked back and saw that there were several people standing at the entrance of the door, except for Liang Hui, Xu Jin and Wei Dong.
"Just had a meal and walked around. What's the matter?"
"Did you hear about Andy in the morning?"
Li Tianchou nodded, "I just knew." ”
Liang Hui looked angry, "Bastard, my heart is on fire." A few of us have discussed it, how about giving Andy and his family a strong momentum, how about we go together?"
Li Tianchou was a little hesitant, his appearance on the scene might make Wu Jianguo embarrassed. But I am really annoyed in my heart, Andy's incident has reached this point to make people feel aggrieved, everyone and colleagues, even if it is impulsive, Jianguo must be able to understand. So he nodded: "Count me in." “
A group of people rode four or five bicycles, and the momentum was spectacular. Along the way, Liang Hui is still pulling people, regardless of whether he is on duty or not, it is best for everyone to go.
The headquarters of Phoenix Real Estate Company is located in the bustling Yuegang Avenue, and it takes more than 20 minutes to ride a bicycle. When everyone turned to the intersection, they saw a large group of people in front of the headquarters building from a distance. At this moment, the door downstairs was closed, and a row of security guards in the same uniform stood at the door, looking nervous and waiting for battle.
Further on the periphery, there was some chaos, with two groups of people gathered on the left and right, each making their own trouble. On the other side, several of Andy's fellow villagers and dormitory colleagues put a strip of white cloth on their heads, and they also used bamboo poles to put banners on them, writing "Righteous and courageous, but wronged, unscrupulous company, oppressing good", and "severely punish the murderers". Wu Jianguo stood in front, not knowing what he was talking about, and he was sweating profusely.
Everyone parked their bicycles and swept through the crowd of onlookers. Seven or eight strong guys wearing the same security uniforms were crowded in, and they couldn't figure out which one it was, and the scene suddenly became tense.
Wu Jianguo turned his head, stunned for a while, and then became very angry, "What are you going to do? Why are you here? Who is on the post?" Everyone looked at each other, no one spoke, and one by one bypassed Wu Jianguo and stood beside Andy's fellow countryman.
Li Tianchou stubbornly walked up to Wu Jianguo and said with a smile: "Jianguo, that's the case, everyone is just expressing their emotions." When the meaning is reached, we go back to work. ”
Wu Jianguo grabbed Li Tianchou by the collar and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here? Didn't you tell you not to get involved?"
"To express my emotions as well. Really, it's embarrassing. Li Tianchou still had a smiling face.
"Fool around, express a fart! Isn't this adding to the chaos? Get back quickly!" Forced by the situation, Wu Jianguo will inevitably get angry. The power of the petition has increased a lot, and it is still his own employees, which makes him embarrassed.
Li Tianchou was also unhappy, and slowly pulled Wu Jianguo's hand away, "Shout at the brothers who work together, how can you call it chaos?" I understand your difficulties, but don't get in my way. ”
Wu Jianguo was speechless for a while, he knew Li Tianchou, and as soon as the bull's temper came up, no one could stop him. In a hurry, he grabbed the other party and yelled: "You don't want to do it? I can warn you, if you make a big deal, the company will open people." ”
I don't know why, Li Tianchou felt a little strange when he heard the words of his old comrade-in-arms, he suddenly turned around and pointed to Andy's family next to him: "Andy's bones are not cold, what is this? As he spoke, he shook Wu Jianguo's hand and stood in the crowd of petitioners.
Wu Jianguo was stunned on the spot, his expression complicated.
So many people came to join the petition at once, Andy's fellow was excited, a short man waved his arms emotionally and shouted: "Severely punish the murderer, return my relatives!", the slogan can mobilize emotions, more than a dozen young men shouted in unison, and the momentum was not small.
