Before the words fell, Xiao Liu in the office had already appeared at the door in a panic, looking at Huang Xumeng with his eyes, pointing outside with one hand, wanting to speak, but he couldn't catch it in one breath, so he was panting there.

"What? Someone blocked the door? Who is it? Huang Xumeng stepped forward and pulled Xiao Liu and asked nervously.

Lin Yuanfang was also surprised in his heart, he just came to the management committee today, and the gate was blocked, is this a coincidence, or is someone making trouble?

His heart was churning, but the expression on his face was very ordinary, and he said calmly: "Xiao Liu, don't panic, you speak slowly." ”

Xiao Liu clutched his chest and gasped a few times to even out his breathing, and then said: "Yes, it's Boss Xu, Boss Xu and his group of migrant workers are now kneeling at the gate!" ”

"It's Boss Xu again!" Huang Xumeng screamed hatefully, turned to look at Lin Yuanfang, "Director Lin......"

Mo Yuegen went to the county to do errands, and Wen Xiangfeng went to the hospital to bandage his wounds. Lin Yuanfang remained as the top leader of the management committee, and only Lin Yuanfang made a decision on how to deal with it.

Lin Yuanfang didn't know the ins and outs of this, and he didn't have any ideas. He said: "You immediately report the situation to Director Mo and ask him what to do." ”

Huang Xumeng immediately picked up the phone, dialed the 126 pager, and paged Mo Yuegen's number, asking him to reply to the phone immediately.

When he was paged, Lin Yuanfang was already standing in front of the window, looking at the gate of the management committee below. I saw a man in his fifties kneeling at the gate of the management committee. Behind him, a flatbed truck with a man lying on it, covered with a thick quilt. Behind the flatbed, there were thirty or forty people kneeling in the black press, and they also pulled out a big banner with red letters on a white background, which looked shocking: "Hard-earned money is urgently needed to save lives!" I implore the management committee to be gracious and return our hard-earned money to us! ”

Huang Xumeng put down the phone, came to the window, and looked down.

"Who are these people?" Lin Yuanfang pointed down and asked, "What's going on?" Why let the management committee pay them back their hard-earned money? ”

"Alas!" Huang Xumeng sighed, pointed to the man in his fifties who was currently kneeling down and said, "That person's name is Boss Xu, a native of Haozhuang Village, Xincheng District, and a contractor. The people kneeling behind him were all workers in Boss Xu's construction team, and most of them were villagers from Haozhuang Village. ”

"Two years ago, Mr. Xu's construction contracted the construction of the eastward extension of Taihang Road in the new urban area, and the project was completed a year and a half ago. Because the funds of the management committee were not in place, the project money of more than 500,000 yuan paid to Xu Laoda in response to the lawsuit was not paid. In addition to the more than 300,000 materials advanced by Boss Xu himself, there are also more than 30 migrant workers with a total salary of more than 200,000 yuan. It's not that the management committee is dragging the money and not giving it to them, it's that the management committee has no money. Originally, the plan was to pay them the project money after collecting the urban construction supporting fees of Huayi Aluminum Plant, but Huayi Aluminum Plant has been delaying and not paying, and this matter has been delayed. ”

"The workers of the construction team chased Boss Xu every day to ask for wages, and Boss Xu had no choice but to take them to the management committee to ask for debts." Huang Xumeng said: "Director Mo and Director Liu also feel that they are at a loss, so they can only coax and drag, and after dragging it around, Boss Xu simply doesn't believe it, and brings people over every once in a while to block the door of the management committee." It's either work time or work time. ”

"I see." Lin Yuanfang pondered for a moment and said, "Boss Xu is a contractor, can he have any money in his hand?" Isn't it okay for him to advance the workers' wages first, and then settle them with him when the money from our management committee arrives? ”

Huang Xumeng obviously understood the situation very well, he shook his head, and said: "Boss Xu had a little money in his hand at the beginning, but it was not much, about 100,000 yuan. In order to advance the payment for the materials of the project, and in order to pay for the food expenses of the 30 or 40 workers during the construction period, he borrowed more than 200,000 yuan from usury. Originally, it was planned to pay back as soon as the payment was received. But as a result, after a year and a half, he was even forced to sell his Santana to cover the loan shark debt. Speaking of which, he is also a poor man! ”

Lin Yuanfang was silent for a while, then pointed to the flatbed truck and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Huang Xumeng obviously didn't understand the latest situation, so he turned his head and looked at Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu hurriedly said: "The people lying on the flatbed are also workers from their construction team, saying that they are in the advanced stage of liver ascites, have no money for treatment, and urgently need wages to save their lives." ”

Lin Yuanfang's heart tightened. He turned his head to look at the phone and asked Huang Xumeng, "Why hasn't Director Mo paged back yet?" ”

Huang Xumeng hurriedly said: "Maybe he didn't receive it, I'll go and fight another one." Alas, the pager in our county town is too bad! ”

Up to now, there are only three base stations in the paging station in Binan County, and there are many signal blind spots.

Huang Xumeng dialed the 126 pager again and told Miss that she had to call twice more. Then he dialed the phone number of the county axe duty room: "Is the county government axe duty room?" I am Lao Huang of the Management Committee, may I ask if our Director Mo went to the county government in the afternoon? What, went? Left an hour ago? Oh, thank you, thank you. ”

Huang Xumeng didn't put down the microphone, he dialed Mo Yuegen's home again: "Is Director Mo back?" No? Oh, I'm Lao Huang of the Management Committee. When Director Mo comes back, please ask him to call me back. Yes, just go back to the management committee, I haven't left work yet. ”

Putting down the phone, Huang Xumeng spread his hand at Lin Yuanfang and said, "Director Mo has already left the county government axe and has not gone home, we have to wait for the pager." ”

Lin Yuanfang raised his wrist and looked at the time, it was already five forty-five in the afternoon, and a quarter of an hour had passed since the end of work. Mo Yuegen didn't know when he would be able to call back, he couldn't wait any longer, he had to make a decision. Otherwise, so many cadres and workers in the management committee are blocked and can't go home from work, and I don't know what to think of him, the deputy director!

"Lao Huang, let's not wait. Go, come down with me. I'll go talk to Boss Xu. Lin Yuanfang said.

"Director Lin, you, don't go. Otherwise, I'll call the county public security bureau here and ask them to send someone over. Huang Xumeng said in a consultative tone.

Lin Yuanfang waved his hand and said, "You can't do that." Originally, our management committee was responsible for the loss, and then calling the police over, didn't it add fuel to the fire? I'll go down and talk to them. ”

As he spoke, he walked down. Although Huang Xumeng was a little reluctant, he said to Xiao Liu: "You go and find a few more young people to come down." As he spoke, he chased a few steps and followed Lin Yuanfang downstairs.

In the corridor on the first floor, there were more than a dozen cadres, all holding keys and briefcases, obviously in a hurry to get back from work, but they didn't dare to go to the door. Seeing Lin Yuanfang coming down from the upper floor, they hurriedly moved out of the way, and said in their mouths, "Director Lin." ”

Lin Yuanfang ignored these people and walked straight to the gate. Outside, it was cold and windy, and dozens of migrant workers knelt on the cold concrete floor in tattered cotton jackets, their faces frozen to blue and purple, and their whole bodies shivering.

Boss Xu, who knelt down at the front, was about the same age as Lin Yuanfang's father, with a haggard face, looking inside pitifully. Seeing Lin Yuanfang and Huang Xumeng coming out, Boss Xu moved on the ground with his knees and came to Huang Xumeng, his rough big hands held the ground, and kowtowed to Huang Xumeng: "Director Huang, Director Huang, I beg you, give us some life-saving money, Zhang Laosan is in the late stage of liver ascites, and he can't afford to pay the hospitalization fee and was kicked out of the hospital, you have a lot of adults, just do it, give us some life-saving money first, and let Zhang Laosan be admitted to the hospital first!" ”

Huang Xumeng was taken aback, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Boss Xu, and said, "Boss Xu, Boss Xu, don't be like this, if you have something to say." This is the new leader of our management committee, Director Lin. ”

Boss Xu turned around and kowtowed to Lin Yuanfang, crying: "Big leader, you can do it, save Zhang Laosan!" His child is still young, and he still has to rely on him to support him! ”

The more than thirty people behind him also kowtowed to Lin Yuan: "Big leader, you can do it!" ”

"Fellow, fellow, don't be like this. Stand up, stand up, have something to say stand up and say again! Saying that, Lin Yuanfang grabbed Boss Xu's arm and dragged him up from the ground.

After dragging Boss Xu up, Lin Yuanfang asked Huang Xumeng to help Boss Xu, and then turned around and said to the more than 30 workers: "Fellow villagers, I am Lin Yuanfang, deputy director of the Management Committee, and I am here to solve your problems." Shall you stand up first? ”

As he spoke, Lin Yuanfang went to pull these workers. The workers knelt there fixedly, and Lin Yuanfang couldn't pull it up. Just shouting there: "Great leader, please show mercy, show mercy!" ”

"Folks!" Lin Yuanfang was anxious and shouted loudly: "I ask you to stand up first, okay?" It's so cold, what do you do when you get on your knees and your knees freeze out? Your wife and children are still waiting for you to go back to feed, you can't be irresponsible to yourself! Please believe me, since I am here, I am here to find a way to solve the problem for you! ”

Lin Yuanfang was sincere, especially the sentence "My wife and children are still waiting for you to feed, what should I do if my knees are frozen" touched the migrant workers, and finally someone was willing to get up from the ground. One man took the lead, and the others stood up one after another.

Seeing that everyone stood up, Lin Yuanfang turned around and turned his head to look at Boss Xu: "Boss Xu, don't talk about anything else, you tell me first, what's going on with Zhang Laosan?" ”

Boss Xu wiped his tears with the rough palm root and said, "The doctor said that it was an advanced stage of liver ascites, and he should be hospitalized as soon as possible, and there is still salvation." I owe him more than 10,000 yuan in wages, but I really can't get it out, so I have to come and cause trouble for you. ”

As he spoke, he came to the flatbed truck and lifted the quilt, only to see a sallow face under the quilt, and his stomach was swollen high, like a pregnant woman...... Zhang Laosan originally closed his eyes, but when he felt that the quilt was lifted, he opened his eyes half-open, and shouted weakly: "Brother Xu, Brother Xu, have you got the money?" ”

Boss Xu bowed down and whispered into Zhang Laosan's ear: "Third child, don't worry, the money will be obtained immediately, and now the big leader has come to see you." ”

"Fu ...... Help me up......" Zhang Laosan struggled and said, "I...... I have something to say to the leader......"

Boss Xu stretched out his arm to help Zhang Laosan, Lin Yuanfang hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, he walked to Zhang Laosan's side and said, "Uncle, I'm here." If you have anything to say, tell me. ”

"Big Leader......" Zhang Laosan tried to open his eyes wide, and his eyes looked at Lin Yuanfang blankly: "I have a ...... One thing...... Please help...... Help. ”

"You say, you say, I'll listen!" Lin Yuanfang fell down again.

"Political axe...... Political axe to ...... When you pay your salary, put ...... Leave that one behind...... Get down. Directly to my wife...... Let her feed the children. I'm not ...... No, don't waste it on me. ”

As he spoke, two lines of muddy tears rolled down from Zhang Laosan's eyes.

Lin Yuanfang's heart was sour, what a simple farmer. At this time, I was still thinking about my family. Taking into account his identity, Lin Yuanfang forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart, reached out and patted Zhang Laosan's arm gently, and said, "Uncle, don't worry." Your illness must be cured, and your wife and children must be raised. ”

He straightened up and said to Boss Xu: "Boss Xu, save people first." In this way, you can go to the county people's hospital with me now, and we will let Uncle Zhang be admitted to the hospital first, as for the project money that the management committee owes you, wait for Uncle Zhang to settle down, and then sit down and talk slowly, okay? ”

"Yes...... However, there is no money, and the hospital will not let me live. Boss Xu said.

"You don't care about this, I have it!" Lin Yuanfang said, "You just need to go with me." As he spoke, he turned to Huang Xumeng and said, "Does the management committee still have a car?" ”

"Our management committee's van is still there!" Huang Xumeng said. There are a total of three vehicles in the management committee. In addition to the Poussin allocated to Mo Yuegen, another bus was used as a shuttle bus to and from work. A Songhuajiang van is a public car.

"Okay, you ask the driver to drive the van over, and we'll take Uncle Zhang to the hospital." Lin Yuanfang said.

"But ......," Mr. Huang said.

"There's nothing but, you turn the car over right away!" Lin Yuanfang waved his hand and said.

Huang Xumeng answered, turned around and went to find the driver. He thought in his heart, is Director Lin a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, or really send the patient to the hospital? Otherwise, even if the patient is sent to the hospital in the name of the management committee, the hospital will never accept the patient without the transfer check from the management committee!

It's just that if it's a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, how does Director Lin plan to get out?

A few minutes later, the driver came over with Songhuajiang bread. Lin Yuanfang commanded a few people to carry Zhang Laosan into the car, and then asked Xu Laosan to say, "You yourself still have two more workers, let's go to the hospital together." Others, you let them go home first. After Zhang Laosan settles down, we will talk about other things. ”
