Chapter 27: Reality (5)
The glory brought by the advertisements to the Wu family lasted only five or six days, and by the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, their business almost came to a standstill. The father and son were disappointed, and when they were about to end their business and go home, a phone call saved them.
"Hello, are you dry cleaning?"
The arrival of business made Wu Qiangqiang happy: "Yes, where are you in?" How many square meters is the house? ”
"I'm from XX Company, and our company's business building has just been built, and we need to clean it immediately. The business building has six floors and is about 10,000 square meters. ”
More than 10,000 square meters is equivalent to more than 100 households, and it is also a wasteland and cleaning, among which the profits are tens of thousands, which has a fatal temptation and confusion for the Wu family father and son.
Wu Qiang quoted a low price and immediately set off to talk about it, while Wu Tongping went to the human resources market to recruit people, and they were eager to take the job.
Maybe God is beautiful, Wu Qiang didn't even spend too much energy, so he took the job at a price of 30,000 yuan.
On the morning of the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the three fathers and sons of the Wu family arrived at the destination with more than a dozen workers and cleaned them with great fanfare.
"Hurry up, don't be lazy, this is a day's work, even if you work until twelve o'clock in the evening, you must finish before you leave, otherwise you will not be paid."
Wu Tongping saw that the workers were working slowly, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart and loudly reprimanded them. He was very envious of Jianming, because the workers of Jianming were all from the same village, and they worked very realistically, and they didn't need to be supervised at all, and the people who were recruited temporarily were lazy and slippery, and they would be lazy if they didn't pay attention to it.
"Dad, what are you talking nonsense? Why can't you finish your work and don't pay your wages? Everyone is working, as long as you do your best, you can't finish it today, and you will do it tomorrow, what are you talking nonsense? ”
Wu Hao was very disgusted with Wu Tongping's thinking, since the three of them did cleaning and couldn't get work, Wu Tongping scolded Jianming for being ungrateful and cursed Jianming for going bankrupt. When he received the job hirer, Wu Tongping thought that the workers were not doing a good job, and often reprimanded and insulted them, causing the workers to change jobs one after another, and the work became worse and worse.
"Dad, when you're tired, find a place to rest, can you leave it to me and my brother here?"
"Alas, it's all Jianming's dog X, if it weren't for the fact that he embezzled money at that time, how could he buy a car, and how could he hire someone from our hometown? Look at these people who are working, how can there be people in our village, all of them are lazy and slippery, how can they do without supervision? ”
"Dad, have you said enough? What do you know? At that time, the work was Xiaoming's bag, and he also wanted to share the money equally, but I didn't have the courage to take it, why do you blame others? Why do you scold people for being ungrateful? If someone hadn't taught you what to do, would we know how to make money doing it? ”
Wu Hao completely broke out, and yelled at Wu Tongping, if it weren't for Wu Tongping scolding so indiscriminately, and blindly pursuing speed, there was no quality in the work, how could the work be less and less?
"Okay, don't argue, Dad, what Xiao Hao said is right, don't scold Jianming in the future. Also, it's up to our brothers to live, you go to eat first, and by the way, find a cheap restaurant, and we'll take care of the meal at noon. ”
"What, still care? It's thirty-five yuan a day, and you still have to take care of the rice, are you messed up? ”
Although Wu Qiang is a little picky, he is much more generous than Wu Tongping, and he understands that if he blindly squeezes workers, their business will never be big.
"Dad, listen to me this time, you go to the hotel, and I'll explain to you after I'm done."
"Alas, you guys, forget it, I don't care, whatever you want."
Wu Tongping was tired of arguing and scolding, and went out to rest exhausted, he didn't realize his mistake at all, and pushed everything that didn't go well in the business on the temporary workers.
Sent to Wu Tongping, Wu Qiang tried his best to comfort the workers: "My dad has a bad temper, and please don't take his words to heart." I, like everyone, is also a coolie, close to the Chinese New Year, finally took a job, I hope you can do your part, help me do a good job, I invite you to dinner at noon. ”
With the efforts of the two brothers, Wu Qiang and Wu Hao, the workers showed great enthusiasm for work and improved their work speed a lot.
Because it is a wasteland cleaning, there are a lot of advertising banners hanging outside the windows upstairs, Wu Qiang and Wu Hao brothers didn't think much about it at that time, in order to clean the glass cheaply, they asked the workers to tear down the banners and throw them downstairs, but they didn't expect this move, it brought them trouble.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, just as the Wu Qiang brothers were in full swing with the workers, a thin young man walked up and shouted angrily: "Who is your boss?" ”
Wu Qiang hurriedly stepped forward and asked very suspiciously: "Brother, I am their boss, who are you?" ”
"Who am I? You tore up the banner I hung, what should I do with this account? ”
"Banners? Oh, sorry, they got in the way of our work, so we ripped them off, and now they're downstairs, so they shouldn't be broken. ”
"It's not broken, you go and see for yourself, so many banners are rotten, you have to compensate me."
"Reparations? What are you kidding, your banner is in our way, how can we work if we don't tear it off? I won't pay for it, so please leave quickly and don't disturb our work. ”
Wu Qiang hates people who have nothing to do the most, so he speaks very impulsively and threateningly.
"Okay, you've got it!"
The thin young man's face turned pale and he left in a hurry.
"Damn, if you want to blackmail people, you don't weigh your own weight, you're as thin as ribs, and you still want to blackmail money? Okay, it's okay, everyone hurry up and get off work early. ”
Wu Qiang didn't take this matter to heart, since he was cleaning, he had encountered many similar things, and he could only have a tough attitude to deal with this kind of gangster.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the cleaning work has come to an end, after the company's supervisor has passed the acceptance, when the account is settled, the thin young man with five or six strong men, arrived again.
"Damn, what about your boss, dare to bully my eldest brother's younger brother, and live impatiently?"
Wu Qiang hurriedly stepped forward when he heard the sound and asked very unhappily, "Who are you?" What are you looking for me for? ”
"Damn, it's pretty bad, I'm going to beat you to death."
"Third child, stop, we are civilized people, how can we fight casually? Hey, you tore up my brother's banner, that's it? ”
Wu Qiang looked at the director of the company and asked aloud: "Manager Wang, are these banners theirs?" ”
"Banners? I don't know who it is, what's going on, what are you doing here? ”
The strong man at the head laughed: "Manager Wang, my brother's banner was torn by them, this matter has nothing to do with you, we just want to get back the compensation we deserve." ”
"No matter what the reason is, you can't make trouble here, Xiao Wu, let's hurry up and settle the bill, settle the account, please leave immediately."
"Leave? No, he can't leave until my brother's affairs are taken care of. Boy, you tore up my brother's banner, not only did he not apologize, but he also threatened my brother, aren't you quite cross, come on, show me the horizontal one. ”
Wu Qiang is willing to suffer, he has been in City B for many years, and many classmates and friends are nearby, so he first called and asked them to help him.
As soon as the strong man led by Wu Qiang saw that Wu Qiang was looking for someone, how could the phone be idle?
Half an hour later, Wu Qiang's friends arrived first, and as soon as a dozen or so people arrived, they surrounded the thin young man and the strong man.
"Dude, we eat by strength, and we want to blackmail people into changing a fat sheep, do we still have to pay for today's incident?"
When Wu Qiang saw the arrival of reinforcements, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, pointing at the nose of the strong man at the head and yelling.
"Haha, it's really quite horizontal, do you think I don't have a helper?"
As soon as the words of the strong man at the head fell, more than a dozen cars rushed to the scene, and twenty or thirty people surrounded Wu Qiang's friends.
"Boy, it's not just you who have friends, I also have them, and it's no less than yours, what, do you want to fight?"
Wu Qiang's face was pale, and he knew that he had kicked the iron plate, so he had to give in: "Okay, how much is your banner worth, I will pay for it." ”
"Brother, how much is your banner worth?"
"Brother, my banners are all specially made, I spent fifty or sixty thousand at the beginning, and now it is worth at least thirty or forty thousand."
"Boy, did you hear that? As long as you lose money, this matter will be settled, if you don't lose money, if you want to fight or lawsuit, I will accompany you to the end. ”
Wu Qiang couldn't help but make it difficult, if he called the police at this time, not only would he affect his friends, but he would probably not even be able to go home during the Spring Festival.
"Xiao Hao, call Jianming quickly, he knows a lot of people, let him think of a way."
"Dad, we ......"
Wu Hao was quite embarrassed, he was hiding from Jianming when he did the cleaning, and when there was a problem at this time, he asked Jianming for help, and he didn't have the face to do it.
"Xiaohao, when is it, if you don't call again, this job will be in vain."
"Alas, Dad, I know, I'll call him."
Jian Ming received a call from Wu Hao, and his mood was very complicated, he was angry with the Wu father and son, and angry at what happened to them. Although it is a society with a legal system, it is at the lowest level of society, and the law is more of a constraint than a protection for migrant workers in other places.
The Wu father and son did not have a temporary residence permit, and there were no legal procedures for cleaning, and once they called the police, they were the first to be investigated. Moreover, the troublemakers have legitimate grounds to claim compensation, and even if they report to the police, they will not be able to protect their rights and interests.
Jian Ming thought about it for a moment, and his first feeling was that the troublemakers should be in the same group as Manager Wang, otherwise things would not be so coincidental.
"Hey, Uncle Ni, did you build the business building of XX Company in XX District?"
"Xiaoming, why are you asking about this? I advise you not to deal with them, they have a bad reputation, they are in arrears of migrant workers' wages, and they are well-known in the industry. ”
"Uncle Ni, a little thing happened today, can you give me a move?"
"Alas, tell me something, it's really not worrying."
Jian Ming finished talking about what happened to Wu's father and son, and sighed abruptly: "Uncle Ni, although Wu Qiang did this recklessly, he did his work, if you have a way, please help." The Spring Festival is coming soon, and the 30,000 yuan is heaven for them, and I don't want anything to happen at this time, after all, Uncle Tongping was recruited by me, and he has worked for you. ”
