Li Wenjun nodded lightly: "I have heard everyone's opinions. However, we have agreed on the wages from the first day of recruiting workers, and there is no reason to increase the price halfway. Unless the project becomes more difficult, or someone I did a great job and I think a salary increase is necessary.”
Upon hearing this, everyone quietly exchanged glances. This is the truth. No matter who you work for, the price will be raised after working for two days, so that no one will want to hire him again in the future.
And Li Wenjun's meaning is also very clear: even if the salary needs to be increased, it is he who has the final say. There's no point in making a fuss with others.
But the words have been spoken, and it is difficult to get off the tiger. Will Li Wenjun hold a grudge?
Seeing the relaxed expressions on everyone's faces, Li Wenjun said: "It's normal for everyone to raise their demands. Don't feel embarrassed. If everyone does a good job, we can discuss the wages for future projects."
It is impossible to rise this time. It's only been two days since the wages were raised. If they were allowed to make trouble this time, there would definitely be a second or third time. For the next ten days or so, the workers only thought about how to raise their wages and if they didn't do it properly, the situation would be endless and people would be restless.
Human greed is inherently endless.
-----
The wages this time are actually very high. If they keep pestering like this, Li Wenjun won't look for them next time. Didn’t they pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon?
When everyone heard this, they all secretly regretted it and wanted to secretly turn around and go back to rest.
But the two brothers Wang Shilei and Wang Musen stood behind and stared at them, and they were reluctant to move.
Li Wenjun continued: "I invited these three foremen, and they did a good job. They are not to blame for this collective diarrhea incident, it is my responsibility, so I paid everyone nutrition fees and paid for the medical expenses. I don't see any reason to replace them. You can recommend yourself to be the foreman, that's no problem. But whether it's suitable or not, I can only have the final say."
When Wang Yongding heard this, didn't he reject him? He frowned: "What if we must raise wages?"
Li Wenjun smiled: "What if I refuse?"
He kicked the ball back to Wang Yongding, forcing Wang Yongding to show his trump card.
Wang Yongding held his head high: "Then we won't do it."
He was sure that if something like this happened on the construction site, it would be unpleasant to spread. There must be no one to do it. And when he stopped halfway through the work, it was Li Wenjun who was anxious.
Li Wenjun glanced at the person behind him again: "Is this what everyone means?"
Those people lowered their heads and remained silent.
Now the two ends are not human beings.
If they say no and still want to do it, it would be a slap in the face. It would be heartbreaking to say that I just quit.
They could only bite the bullet, stay silent together, and force Li Wenjun to submit.
Li Wenjun nodded slightly: "I understand."
Dozens of people stood here, but there was silence, no one dared to make a sound.
Tan Dailei frowned: This is forced to have a baby, it's too much. This Wang Yongding is really cunning, cunning and greedy.
Li Wenjun turned back to Tan Dailei and said: "If you want to leave, we won't stop you. You can settle today's wages for everyone, as well as the nutritional expenses I promised at the hospital. Those who don't want to leave will continue working tomorrow morning. After settling their wages, you Come to the auditorium to settle the accounts for the remaining people.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the cafeteria.
He was secretly amused: These people didn't even understand whether it was a buyer's market or a seller's market, and they came to make trouble. They were really childish.
------
Everyone was stunned. No one thought that Li Wenjun would agree directly without even giving them a chance to buffer.
Tan Dailei smiled: "Let's go and settle the wages. Your requirements are met, are you happy?"
Wang Yongding looked stunned.
Liu Hu and the others found it funny and walked past them one after another and returned to the auditorium.
Guo Liang was even happier. It was not his fault that these people wanted to leave. Just now he was thinking about leaving by himself in order not to cause trouble to Li Wenjun, but now he doesn't even have to hesitate.
-----
Li Wenjun entered the cafeteria, which was full of gloom and mist.
Li Wenjun greeted: "Comrades, are you okay?"
When Li Cuihua saw Li Wenjun, she felt like she was seeing a relative. She stepped forward with trembling lips and called out in a nasal voice: "Comrade Wenjun..." Then tears welled up in her eyes and she was speechless, looking aggrieved.
Li Wenjun patted her shoulder and comforted: "Comrade Li Cuihua, don't be sad. I believe you, this matter is not your responsibility."
Li Cuihua choked and said, "We are so afraid of betraying your trust."
Li Wenjun asked: "Have any of the comrades in the cafeteria suffered from diarrhea?"
Li Cuihua quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and replied: "No, we are all fine."
Li Wenjun nodded slightly and replied: "Then it's even more certain that it's not the canteen's problem."
No one in the cafeteria drank herbal tea, they only had breakfast.
Li Wenjun asked again: "What did the people from the Health Bureau say?"
Li Cuihua said: "They took samples for testing. They said they would notify us after the test results are available."
Li Wenjun said: "Can we open fire as usual at noon? Comrades still have to eat. It would be better if we could get some meat porridge and other things that are easy to digest and nourish the stomach."
Li Cuihua hurriedly replied: "Okay."
-----
When work started, Li Wenjun gave Tan Dailei and the others a small room next to the warehouse to use for paying wages, meal tickets, and material requisition orders.
Now that Li Wenjun was gone, Tan Dailei said nothing and turned around and walked towards the room, as if he immediately started to settle things and didn't want to waste a minute.
"Everyone, go pack up your bed, pack your things, and then get your overshoes, safety helmet, and straw hat. Come to me to return your things and collect your wages."
At this moment, everyone was looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
Wang Musen asked Wang Yongding: "Dad, what should we do now?"
Wang Yongding gritted his teeth: "I didn't expect that Li Wenjun to be so arrogant, so let's go. I don't believe that he can recruit people in such a short time."
----
Tan Dailei sat down at the table, took out the registration form, added a column of "Nutrition Fees" at the back, and waved to the people who followed him: "Come on, come on, line up one by one."
Wang Yongding stepped forward.
Tan Dailei pointed to the back of the form: "Both columns must be signed. It means that you have received wages and nutrition subsidies. This will save some people from receiving the money in the future, turning their backs and denying it, and going out to say that we are in arrears with wages."
Everyone knew he was talking about Wang Yongding, so they all secretly looked at Wang Yongding.
Wang Yongding signed.
Tan Dailei took out two dollars and handed it to him.
Wang Yongding immediately held the money in his hand, as if he was afraid that Tan Dailei would take it back again.
Tan Dailei laughed angrily at the young man's appearance, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Wenjun is such a good person. This incident was not his fault in the first place. He paid for all the medical expenses and gave each person one yuan for nutrition. Such a good thing Leader, where can I find him?"
The people behind me regretted it even more.
Wang Yong is determined to leave.
Tan Dailei stopped him: "Hey, hey, since you want to leave, just leave what you got. Do you still want to take advantage of this pair of galoshes and a straw hat?"
