Chapter 1175: Some people’s wages cannot be delayed

Li Ye has a good alcohol tolerance, but he didn't drink much at the welcoming banquet. Before leaving, Wen Leyu told him not to drink unnecessary alcohol.

A good man must listen to his wife, so Li Ye stopped at the right time, lied that he "couldn't handle the alcohol", and went to bed early.

The next morning, Li Ye woke up early.

The nights here were too quiet, and he was a little uncomfortable with the change of place.

Why do so many people yearn for camping decades later?
Because when a person is used to living in a noisy environment, suddenly coming to a relatively quiet place and being able to hear the sound of flowing water a hundred meters away and the chirping of insects nearby is indeed a very unique experience.

Since I can't sleep, I might as well go out for a walk.

Li Ye got dressed, got out of bed, washed his face and walked out of his dormitory.

Then the door of the dormitory next to him opened, and his cheap nephew Jiang Shiqi came out with a smile: "I just heard you get up, uncle, are you going out for a walk?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Since you're up, why don't we go for a walk together?"

"Okay, I'll call Lao Qu."

Jiang Shiqi turned around and shouted, and Qu Qingyou followed him out. The two bodyguards were really smart. When they heard the sound of Li Ye washing up, they were ready to go out.

The three of them left the dormitory together, preparing to leave the factory and stroll around the county town.

Since we are going to invest a lot of technology and energy here, it is very necessary to observe the local people's character and customs.

The Northwest, where the people are tough, and the Southeast, where people are cost-conscious, are definitely two different business environments.

When the three people arrived at the factory gate, they saw from a distance that the guard was talking to two half-grown children.

The three people didn't pay attention. Jiang Shiqi went over and asked, "Master, where are the breakfast shops nearby?"

The guard said enthusiastically, "There is a steamed bun shop about a mile east of the door, and a little further ahead there is a mutton soup restaurant."

"Okay, thank you!"

The three of them walked out for more than a mile and indeed saw a bun shop.

Because it was not yet seven o'clock, the bun shop was very quiet and the three people were the first customers.

But within a minute after Li Ye and the others sat down, they saw the two half-grown children who were at the door just now also followed them.

There are two children, one boy and one girl. The girl is older, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the boy is younger, about twelve or thirteen years old. Judging from their faces, they should be siblings.

The two men stood outside the bun shop and looked at Li Ye curiously, their eyes hesitant and conflicted.

Li Ye looked at their clothes, which were all washed very cleanly. They didn't look like beggars. And looking at their eyes, they didn't look like thieves at all.

So he waved to the two children and invited them in.

The two children hesitated for a moment, then bravely walked up to Li Ye.

Li Ye asked gently: "Why are you two following us?"

The girl pursed her lips and asked dryly, "Are you the leader from Beijing?"

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh: "Who told you I was the leader? The security guard at the door?"

The girl shook her head and said, "He didn't tell us. He stopped us from going in."

Li Ye's face condensed, and he asked calmly: "Why did he stop you? What are you going to do in the car factory?"

The girl said weakly: "We are here to collect a debt."

"A debt?"

Li Ye's face turned cold and he asked, "What debt does the car factory owe you?"

"."

Li Ye's sudden coldness made the girl who looked like an older sister a little timid, and she was unable to answer for a while.

This cannot be blamed on Li Ye. The oldest of the two children in front of him is only fourteen or fifteen years old. How could the car factory owe them a debt?
The world is full of wonders, and Li Ye doesn't want to capsize in the gutter and be fooled by two children. That would be embarrassing.

The girl swallowed her saliva and insisted, "The construction team in our village built a new dormitory for the car factory, but the wages were not paid in full and they still owe more than 10,000 yuan."

Li Ye was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why did your village's construction team ask you to come and collect the debt? And why did you ask me for the debt?"

"I"

The girl was speechless for a moment, but her eyes gradually turned red. After a long time, she stuttered and told the whole story.

"My mother and I followed the construction team to build a building for the automobile factory. I was responsible for cooking, but after the building was completed, I only received my wages, not the money for the vegetables.
The people from the construction team said that the car factory still owes me money, and when the money is returned, they will give me money for vegetables."

"Food money?"

Li Ye was confused. He could understand that the construction team owed wages to the migrant workers, but what about the money for vegetables?

The girl's tears fell.

"There are dozens of people in the construction team who need to buy vegetables every day. My mother bought the vegetables and millet on credit from someone. We agreed to return them after the construction was completed."

"Oh~"

Li Ye probably understood.

This was a typical case of "personal advance payment". The canteen at the construction site needed vegetables, and the cook found a way to pay for it first. However, the construction site denied it in the end, leaving the cook unable to explain himself.

Moreover, the construction site also took advantage of the cook and asked him to collect the owed project money. I don't know whether it was a casual excuse or a deliberate attempt to make things difficult.

But no matter what, this matter cannot be blamed on the car factory, and it is not Li Ye's business to intervene. But when Li Ye was about to refuse this sister, she cried and said, "I know that I can't blame the car factory.

But my mother is ill, and all the money in the family has been used to pay for vegetables, so there is really nothing we can do. Yesterday I heard that a senior leader from the automobile factory has come, and he has the final say, so we walked 20 miles to get here early in the morning."

"."

Li Ye was silent for a while, then asked: "How much money do you still owe for food?"

The girl shook her head vigorously and said, "No, I sold all the tobacco leaves at home last week and raised the money to settle the debt with him."

Li Ye nodded and asked, "How much money does the construction team still owe you?"

The girl said, "Four hundred and eighty sixty cents. I'll keep track of it."

Li Ye sighed and asked Jiang Shiqi to order two more breakfasts for the siblings.

In the 1990s, a jacket cost 15 or 20 yuan, and a good jacket cost 30 or 40 yuan. 480 yuan was not a small amount of money.

However, the mother of these two siblings would rather collect money on her own than go into debt, which shows her simple and honest character.

"You haven't eaten yet! Eat first. I just got here and don't know the situation. I'll ask around and see if I can help you solve it."

"No no no, I'm not hungry"

Although both children were swallowing their saliva quietly, neither of them accepted Li Ye's food.

Li Ye had no choice but to say, "You should also keep a record of this meal. If you want your money back, just deduct it from it, okay?"

"Okay, that's fine."

The two children then took the buns and porridge and began to eat them ravenously.

When she was halfway through the meal, the girl realized that her eating habits were ugly and she was not "not hungry" at all, so she kicked the boy, resenting him for eating too fast.

But how could a boy of eleven or twelve stand being hungry? He got up early in the morning and walked twenty miles. Even if he got kicked, he had to eat.

Li Ye sighed again, took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Wang Jinyu to ask about the specific situation, but after dialing, he found that there was no signal.

Jiang Shiqi said, "Uncle, it's good enough to have a signal in the city now. The districts and counties below basically don't have it. Only Qingshui County is special."

"Oh, that's okay!"

Li Ye put away the phone and said, "Send the two children back first. I'll go find Wang Jinyu to ask about the situation."

"Ok."

Jiang Shiqi agreed.

When the two children saw Li Ye take out his mobile phone, their eyes sparkled with stars.

[This must be a high-ranking official, and he must keep his word.]

But when he heard that they were going to be sent back, he couldn't help feeling disappointed, because this meant he wouldn't get the money today.

When collecting debts, one is afraid of having no money after one trip, or having no money after two trips. Then, as time goes by, one loses motivation and is left with only disappointment.

The elder sister said awkwardly: "We can just walk back by ourselves in the afternoon."

Li Ye was stunned and understood what the brother and sister were thinking.

"That's fine. You can come with us to the factory! We can check some information there."

"Okay, I'm not afraid of reconciliation."

"."

. . . . . . . . . . . .

After finishing his meal, Li Ye took his two children back to the car factory and called Wang Jinyu.

After listening to what Wang Jinyu said, the situation became even more complicated.

This dormitory building was built by a county construction company, and the project funds have been paid in full.

The Matou Township construction team where the two children worked received money from the construction company and had no direct contractual relationship with the automobile factory.

Wang Jinyu said helplessly: "Director Li, these two children have come here several times. If it is not really against the rules, I will definitely not make things difficult for these two children."

Li Ye turned around and asked the girl: "The people from your construction team said that our car factory owed you money?"

The girl was also confused and said with a bitter face: "That's what you told us!"

Li Ye said with a cold face: "That means someone is destroying the reputation of our automobile factory. Call the construction company and the Matou Township Construction Team now and ask them to send someone over."

"Okay, I'll fight now."

Wang Jinyu immediately started making phone calls in front of Li Ye.

After the call was connected, the people from the Matou Township Construction Team said they would be here soon, but the people from the county construction company said the person in charge was not there and they didn't know when he would be back.

Li Ye smiled gently, and then said to Wang Jinyu: "Tell them that the county will receive us at noon today, so their person in charge had better be back before noon."

Wang Jinyu was stunned for a moment, and whispered, "Director Li, this shouldn't be the case, right?"

Li Ye shook his head slowly and said slowly: "I don't care about others, but as long as they work on the project for us, they must abide by one principle - the wages of migrant workers cannot be delayed."
