Chapter 14 Beginnings

Chapter 14

The word "displacement" has long become commonplace for migrant workers who are adrift all year round. Every year just after the Spring Festival, they will abandon their wives and children to pack up and embark on a new journey, which may be a whole year, until the next year's Chinese New Year before they can go home again to reunite with their parents, wives and children, year after year, many of whom can only return home once in a few years. Some can't buy tickets, some are reluctant to pay that money, and people in big cities definitely don't understand, what can you do with that ticket money? Can you buy a bag, can you buy clothes? But Zhao Izui, who lives in Qilian Mountain, knows that the money is the child's tuition fee for a year, and that money can make a mountain person live for several months. The newspapers said that the working people are the most glorious, and where they are needed, there is it. Zhao Izumi really wanted to scold, glorious to you being paralyzed. If it weren't for the compulsion of life, who would want to leave their homeland? Who doesn't know that holding his wife and children is life? Where there is a need, that's where they can make money.

When I left my hometown, I realized that homesickness was very painful.

When the migrant workers have worked hard for a year, seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, and they can finally go home for reunion, they suddenly find that they may not get the hard-earned money they have worked so hard for, you can imagine how excited they will be. You must know that this money may be the tuition and living expenses of the children next year, the money for the parents' medical treatment, the fertilizer money for spring ploughing, and the fare and confidence for them to go home.

Without money, who would dare to go home?

Zhao Izumi grew up living in the mountains, came to the big city and struggled at the bottom of this society, because of this, he knew the most simple ideas of the migrant workers, and the newspapers often said that the migrant workers did not get their wages to make trouble. Think about it from another perspective, what would you do if you didn't get your hard-earned money for a few months or a year? If you are not forced to be cornered, who is willing to risk being beaten, scolded and arrested.

Now that such a situation appears in the International Mansion, Zhao Izumi suddenly feels bad, if something really happens, anything can happen, the migrant workers will not reason with anyone, they just want their hard-earned money.

Zhao Izumi lit a cigarette, pulled Han Sanqiang to the corner of the construction site, frowned and asked, "Sanqiang, what's the situation now?" ”

Han Sanqiang's expression was entangled, "Brother Zhao, seeing that the New Year is coming, every household is waiting for money, and the salary can't be paid, how do you say you will spend this year?" There is also a group of migrant workers from other places who urgently need money to buy tickets, if they don't buy them again, they won't be able to buy them, they can't go home, they can't celebrate the New Year, it's strange if they don't make trouble."

"What did Lao Wang say?" Zhao Izumi nodded and acquiesced, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the work on the construction site can't be done, no one wants to be hungry and cold here, go home early, and enjoy it early.

Han Sanqiang turned his head to look at the migrant workers who were in groups of three or five on the construction site, and said softly, "Just now in Lao Wang's office, those Henan people almost fought with Lao Wang, Lao Wang said that it was not that he didn't pay his salary, but that the developer's money didn't come, and he had to delay for a few days, and he couldn't get his salary, even if he killed him, he didn't have any money."

"What's the matter, is it because the developer has no money, or is the builder out of money?" Zhao Izumi said angrily, not to mention other migrant workers, thinking that he urgently needed money for the New Year, he was also entangled.

Han Sanqiang's news is more well-informed, who let him mix in which circle on the construction site, lit a cigarette and replied, "It is said that the developer has no money, we claim to be Shaanxi Construction Company, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a private enterprise affiliated under Shaanxi Construction Group, and now Duxing is this set, no qualification can not find a job, ordinary private enterprises at the end of the year who are not short of money, the construction party wants to advance money without money"

The more Zhao Izumi listened, the more he frowned, the situation was far more complicated than he imagined, and he estimated that if it continued like this, he would not want to get the remaining two months' salary.

"What's going on with the workers? What are they going to do? This is what Zhao Izumi is eager to know now.

Han Sanqiang whispered, "If the developer's people come, they will definitely make trouble for a while." I heard that if they can't pay their wages today, they plan to find a TV station to expose it, and at the same time go to the provincial government square to sit in and make trouble, so that if the matter is big, someone will naturally take care of it."

"Damn, who came up with this idea in the back," Zhao Izumi scolded angrily.

Han Sanqiang hesitated and said, "Don't you make such a fuss, who knows if the developer of Lu Dao really has no money, or does he have money and don't send it?" ”

Zhao Izumi threw away the cigarette butt, gritted his teeth and said, "Grass, I'll ask them if they have money or not."

After speaking, Zhao Izumi kicked the cement bag next to him fiercely, stirred up a cloud of dust, shouted at the fool and the second fat, and several people angrily slaughtered the office of the Yellow River. At this moment, there was already a group of people outside and inside the office of the Yellow River, the outside were the migrant workers of various work teams, and the inside were the people and foremen of the construction party.

When he came to the door, Han Sanqiang knocked on the door, and the people inside asked what was the matter in a displeased voice, Han Sanqiang was too lazy to take care of it and shouted directly, "Damn, open the door"

The people inside were in a bad mood, and when they heard this, they also it, and they were about to open the door to see who had such a big shelf, but when they opened the door, they found that it was Han Sanqiang, Zhao Izushi and others, Han Sanqiang didn't have time to be polite to him, so he pushed it away, and shouted at the group of people inside with confidence, "Give me all the ones who can breathe."

A group of people looked at each other, not knowing what the overlords on the construction site wanted to do, Han Sanqiang then copied a teacup, fell to the ground violently, and said angrily, "Don't you understand people's words, except for the Yellow River, the rest will be sent to labor and capital."

Not everyone is taboo about Han Sanqiang, the person in charge of the construction party said angrily, "Han Sanqiang, what do you want to do?" Who do you think you are? I don't want to do it to labor and management."

Han Sanqiang was not angry and laughed, "Okay, let the labor and management get out, the special ones will pay us wages, let's get out, if you don't have this ability, don't chirp crookedly for me, unless you want to make the second fat throw out, I won't give anyone a face today, my brothers are offended"

The fool Erfat took a few steps forward at the right time, smiling at a group of people, and the smile was creepy. As soon as Er Fat made a move, he knew if there was any, and the rest of the people could ignore Han Sanqiang, but no one dared to mess with Er Fat, a group of people were kicked out of the country very untempered, Zhao Izumi asked Er Fat and Han Sanqiang to stay outside, and Han Sanqiang's group of dogs also rushed to hear the wind, and no one dared to mess with them now.

At this time, only Zhao Izumi and the developer's project manager Huang He were left in the office, Zhao Izui's face was pale, Huang He trembled and didn't know what he wanted to do, and said tremblingly, "Izui, what do you have to say, what is this going to do?" ”

Zhao Izumi walked a few steps forward with a calm face, and didn't stop until he was in front of his desk, and snorted coldly, "Brother Huang, what did we say last time?" What's the situation now, the workers are waiting to get their money and go home, do you want to wait for them to make a big deal out of it? ”

Huang He has been worried about this for more than half a month, and said with a sad face, "Out of the breath, it's not that I don't pay wages, I also know that the workers in Ludao use money, and I also know that if Ludao doesn't pay wages again, the matter will be big, but I'm just a project manager, and it says that there is no money, what do you think I can do?" ”

"I know that you are also embarrassed, I just want to ask you, whether the company has any money to pay salaries" Zhao Izumi stared at the Yellow River and asked in a deep voice.

Huang He said helplessly, "Out of the interest, I said that there is no money, do you believe it?" To be honest, I really don't know if you have money or not, you are looking for the wrong person for me."

"If I don't look for you, then who do you say I'm looking for?" Zhao Izumi said angrily.

Huang He's eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice, "In the entire Xi'an branch, there is only one person who knows the inside story of the company, and that is the chairman's daughter, Su Xiluo." Only she knows the specific situation of the company, if you ask her, you may be able to know the real situation of the company."

Zhao Izumi was thoughtful, if he looked for Susilo directly, he would definitely know the most real situation of Lu Dao, so he asked, "Does she come to the construction site today?" ”

As soon as Huang He heard this, he knew that Zhao was letting himself go, and hurriedly said, "I will definitely come, I will come in a while, if he doesn't come, the construction site will explode today, and when something big happens, no one can afford this responsibility."

"Okay, I know what to do" Zhao Izumi already had a plan in his heart, and nodded.

Coming out of the office of the Yellow River, Zhao Izumi beckoned everyone to go back to the dormitory first, and apologized to the manager of the construction party and a group of contractors with a flue, after all, they still have to mix on this construction site, Han Sanqiang sang blackface, he had to sing red-faced, after cleaning up the mess, Zhao Izumi and a group of people came to a vacant lot, and instructed, "You stabilize the mood of the migrant workers at the construction site, don't let them make trouble, I will go to the gate of the construction site to block Susilo, and the Yellow River doesn't know the situation of the road"

Han Sanqiang and the others glanced at each other, and now they can only do this.

After instructing things, Zhao Izumi let Han Sanqiang and them scatter to the construction site, ran out of the construction site alone, and waited for Susilo at the corner of the construction site door, this corner was blocked by the isolation board, and the people in the construction site could not see, and waited for half an hour, when the irritable Zhao Izumi finished smoking three cigarettes, Susilo's Audi A8L finally appeared in Zhao Izui's field of vision, Zhao Izumi extinguished the cigarette butt, rushed to the middle of the road, and decisively stretched out his hand to block the Audi A8L.

The driver of the Audi A8L stuck out his head and scolded angrily, "What a hell of looking for death"

When it was about to enter the construction site, the Audi A8L was not fast and stopped immediately. The driver is not mixing on the construction site, so he is naturally not familiar with Zhao Izusi, and Zhao Izumi has no need to be angry with him, so he shouted in a deep voice, "Let Mr. Su come down, I have something to do with her"

On the Audi A8L, Susilo, who was sitting in the back, looked haggard, and the pressure that lasted for more than half a month made her physically and mentally exhausted. Secretary Qin Yan was sitting in the co-pilot, as soon as the Audi turned the corner, Qin Yan had already noticed Zhao Izuxi, and was wondering what Zhao Izumi was doing here, but who knew that Zhao Izumi was in front of him.

Qin Yan signaled the driver to calm down, then opened the door and got out of the car, it was very cold outside, Qin Yan, who was only wearing a thin down jacket, shivered unconsciously, the long hair of the shawl was wantonly messy by the northwest wind, Qin Yan was puzzled, "Zhao Izuxi, what are you doing here?" ”

Qin Yan naturally knew what Zhao Izui's name was, and Su Xiluo asked her to check Zhao Izui's information for a while, but unfortunately she didn't find anything except her name and home in Qilian Mountain.

"I'm looking for Mr. Su" Zhao Izumi didn't want to embarrass this weak-looking little secretary, and said directly, not surprisingly, Qin Yan knew his name.

Qin Yan's voice was very weak, and he said softly, "If you have anything, tell me, and I will help you convey it to Mr. Su."

"I'm looking for Mr. Su, you can't handle it" Zhao Izumi didn't give Qin Yan face, and said stubbornly.

This made Qin Yan a little uncomfortable, and she was also a little angry at Zhao Izu's unreasonableness, she knew that Mr. Su must not have slept last night, and she didn't want to disturb, when she wanted to speak. Who knew that Su Xiluo had already gotten out of the car, and said coldly, "What are you looking for me?" ”

When Qin Yan got out of the car, Su Xiluo had already woken up, and she was quite puzzled when she saw Zhao Izumi blocking in front, but she probably guessed what Zhao Izumi was looking for her. Qin Yanhui turned around and said aggrievedly, "Mr. Su, he ......"

Su Xiluo smiled faintly and didn't blame Qin Yan.

At this time, Zhao Izumi suddenly walked forward quickly, grabbed Susilo's arm, and walked under the tree next to him without looking back. Su Xiluo was caught off guard, he didn't expect Zhao Izumi to be so abrupt, Qin Yan was startled, and said dumbfounded, "Zhao Izui, what do you want to do?" ”

The reason why Zhao Izumi pulled Susilo over was because he was afraid that he would be discovered by the workers on the upper floor of the construction site at that angle, but he didn't plan to explain, and Susilo definitely didn't have time to listen to his explanation, Zhao Izumi asked loudly, "Tell me, does the company have any money to pay salaries?" ”

Susilo was very calm and was not frightened, Zhao Izu's words made her slightly disgusted, how could he be asked about the company's affairs by an ordinary migrant worker, and said coldly, "I can't tell you these things"

"Don't play tricks on me, let me tell you, if you want to go in for a while and not be eaten by the workers, tell me the truth honestly, otherwise I can't guarantee that there will be any chaos on the construction site today" Zhao Izumi said angrily, he usually can't get used to Susilo's high-minded appearance, and he won't look at these migrant workers at all.

"You're threatening me?" Susilo snorted coldly.

Zhao Izumi said in a deep voice, "It's not a threat, but to tell you the truth." If you can't pay your wages today and don't give an answer, these workers will go to the provincial government square to make trouble and find a TV station to expose it, and you will know the consequences."

Su Xiluo's face changed in shock, she didn't expect the worker's reaction to be so big, and she couldn't help but doubt the ability of the Yellow River, such a big thing, there was no wind at all, and then Su Xiluo looked at Zhao Izumi seriously, and seemed to understand that Zhao Izumi was helping her.

"Why are you telling me this?" Susilo wondered.

Zhao Izumi looked at the passers-by coming and going on the road, and said softly, "Help you, help me help the migrant workers, seeing that the New Year is coming, I don't want them to have an accident, they are just a group of ordinary people living at the bottom." I want to know if I can get paid, we are not you, this money may not be important to you, but for us, without this money, we can't live this year. So I want to know the truth if you want me to help you."

Zhao Izui's words were very clear, Su Xiluo was slightly moved, but Zhao Izui's sentence 'We are not you, this money is insignificant to you, but for us, without this money, we can't pass this year', inexplicably stung her, who can understand her strength, who knows the bitterness and hard work she has paid during this time?

Susilo was very aggrieved, her eyes were slightly red, she couldn't hold back her tears, she turned her head and took a deep breath to keep herself from losing her temper, Susilo in the cold wind was a little helpless, and her stubborn appearance made Zhao Izumi feel inexplicably pitiful, and Zhao Izumi said in a low voice, "I'm sorry"

Susilo didn't respond, and said for a long time, "The company's capital chain is very tight now, and there is a problem with a project of the parent company in Chengdu." It's the end of the year, the major banks are tightening the cash stub, it is difficult to get money from the bank, the interest rate of usury is too high, the company does not want the profits to be eaten, and it is difficult to pay wages in the past two days. However, there is a company in Xi'an that is interested in this project and is now negotiating, and it is not surprising that it will inject capital in the fastest possible time."

What Su Xiluo said, Zhao Chuxi didn't understand a lot, he just wanted to ask, 'I want to know that Lu Dao is delayed for a few days at the latest, otherwise I can't help you, what the workers want is a clear answer"

"Five days, if the matter is not negotiated in five days, the company will choose usury, and it will definitely not let the workers not get the money" Susilo said firmly, how could she not know that it is not easy for the migrant workers.

Zhao Izumi frowned and pondered, he was judging whether Su Xiluo's words were true or false, if it was a pretext, then he would not be able to face the workers himself.

"Are you sure five days?" Zhao Izumi stared at Susilo's eyes and asked.

Susilo replied without dodging, "I'm sure"

Zhao Izumi said ruthlessly, "Okay, I'll help you"
