Chapter 354 Rogue
There were even several banners hanging on the walls and corridors of the factory.
There were some words written on it, “Unscrupulous Zhang Hao! You’re behind in paying our salaries! Return my hard-earned money!”
Some banners even said, “False contracts! You deceived the villagers! Your conscience has been fed to dogs!”
Finally, there was a banner that said, “You have the money to buy a Mercedes-Benz, but you don’t have the money to pay our salaries!” Many young men and old men stood there and shouted the contents of these banners.
Liu Yanran looked around and muttered to herself, “Eh, where’s my grandfather…” Then, Liu Yanran saw a familiar figure in the crowd who was also shouting a slogan. She said in surprise, “Ah! Grandpa! Why are you here?!”
Liu Yanran never expected her grandfather to be in the group asking for their salary.
Liu Yanran had clearly transferred money to her grandfather regularly. She imagined that her grandfather was raising flowers and gra.s.s in the small courtyard and living a peaceful life. However, no one expected her grandfather to make himself look so miserable.
Liu Yanran called her grandfather, Liu Tian. When Liu Tian heard her voice, he naturally turned around and saw his granddaughter. He said in surprise, “Why are you here?”
After seeing his granddaughter, Liu Tian suddenly realized that he was squeezed into the line to ask for his salary. With his forehead covered in sweat and the flying dust in the countryside, he must look very sorry. He raised his sleeve and quickly wiped his sweat.
Liu Yanran said, “I’m here to see you and come back to my hometown to play.”
Grandpa Liu Tian gave Liu Yanran a warm hug and said, “My good granddaughter! You still remembered to come and see your Grandpa!”
After letting go of Liu Yanran, Liu Tian noticed a little boy beside his granddaughter.
Liu Tian’s eyes narrowed. Could this be his granddaughter’s child? No, he had only not seen his granddaughter for half a year. It was impossible for such a big child to suddenly appear. Hence, he asked, “Why did you bring a child?”
Liu Yanran glanced at Ye Xuan and said, “Grandpa, this is Ye Xuan. I brought him to our house to play. The air in the countryside is good and the scenery is beautiful. We’re here to relax.”
Liu Tian didn’t think too much about it. Perhaps this was the child of Liu Yanran’s colleague or friend. The villagers were simple and hospitable, so Liu Tian said warmly, “I see! Our place is indeed beautiful! You have to show him more places! Ye Xuan, right? How old is he? Can I call you Xiao Xuan?” Before Ye Xuan could answer, the people around him suddenly roared.
It turned out that a small figure could be seen in the corridor of the factory office building in the distance. It was unknown if it was Zhang Hao or his subordinates. However, after shouting for so long, there was finally a change, so they shouted even harder.
That person stuck his head out for a while and shrank back. Everyone shouted for a while and realized that he did not come out again, so they stopped to rest.
After this wave ended, Liu Yanran asked her grandfather, Liu Tian, “Grandpa, what exactly are you guys doing?”
Liu Tian sighed and said, “Originally, when Zhang Hao from the village said that he wanted to recruit workers, we agreed. However, who would have thought that after we finished our work, the salaries of us helpers would be deducted by Zhang Hao? He originally said that the cash flow was not good and he could not pay us for the time being. We all believed him, but now, he bought a Mercedes-Benz. Isn’t this bullying?”
“Didn’t Zhang Hao sign an employment contract with you? You can sue him!” Liu Yanran asked.
Liu Tian continued to sigh and said, “Contract?
What contract? We’re from the same village. Although Zhang Hao didn’t sign a contract with us, we all believed him and verbally agreed on a salary. Later on, when we saw that he had the money to buy a Mercedes-Benz, we went to ask him for our salary. He turned hostile and said that he didn’t have a contract with us at all. We tried many methods, but it was useless whether we negotiated with him or complained to the county. Therefore, we could only come here to hold banners.”
“Then…”
Liu Yanran was about to say something when the people around her started shouting again. This time, they were shouting louder and louder, as if they wanted to pry open the factory door with their voices.
Under such a loud voice, Liu Tian probably couldn’t hear what Liu Yanran said. Liu Yanran could only give up and look helplessly at the factory in the distance.
At this moment, in the factory, a man was sitting there and leaning against the wall. He listened to the shouts outside and turned a deaf ear to them.
Then, someone beside him said, “Brother Hao, will anything happen if this continues?” This person had just gone out to take a look at the situation. He continued, “I think they’re making a huge commotion this time. Many people have come!”
“Hmph.” Zhang Hao said disdainfully, “Is there a huge commotion? Let them cause a huge commotion! What does it have to do with me? What do they want with me? There’s no contract. Moreover, who can prove that they did work? They’re just a group of unruly people. Are we going to do charity and give them money just because some unruly people caused a commotion? How can this be? Moreover, even if we go to court to fight a lawsuit, they can’t do anything. They don’t have evidence or enough money to waste on me! Why should I be afraid of them?” Then, Zhang Hao sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette with a satisfied expression. After smoking, Zhang Hao slowly stood up and said to his lackeys, “Let’s go out and take a look. We’ll accept their worship, haha.” In Zhang Hao’s heart, the louder they spoke, the happier he would be.
After Zhang Hao went out, Zhang Hao lazily leaned on the railing and looked at the people below.
When everyone saw Zhang Hao come out, they became even more excited and shouted even louder, “Unscrupulous Zhang Hao! Return my hard-earned money!”
Then, Zhang Hao smiled and said casually, “What money do you want? If you continue to block the way, I’ll call the police.” When everyone heard this, they were stunned by Zhang Hao’s shameless behavior. “How ridiculous! We’ve worked so hard, but he actually said this? He even wants to call the police!”
“Zhang Hao is really shameless!”
“Our trust has really been fed to the dogs. We actually believed Zhang Hao, this sc.u.m!” For a moment, everyone pointed at Zhang Hao.
At this moment, a young man took the lead and shouted at Zhang Hao, “Zhang Hao! Don’t give me that. You set a price previously! We’ve done everything! Are you planning to deny it now?” Zhang Hao chuckled and said arrogantly, “Who can prove that you did work? Where’s the evidence? Did I sign a contract with you?”
“We’ve already done the work. Could it be that those projects appeared out of thin air? The villagers trusted you and didn’t sign the contract with you! Besides, there are photos of the construction work on Xiao Li and Ah Bin’s account!”
“Hmph, I hired other construction teams to do that. I’ve also paid them. What has it got to do with you? You can enter the construction location at will and pose. You can touch the equipment in our factory and delay the construction progress. I haven’t even sued you! This is also on account that we’re from the same village. Let’s forget it, hehe.” As he spoke, Zhang Hao threw a piece of paper downstairs.
