Chapter 96
The first thing to save people
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Liu from the office appeared at the door in panic, looking at Huang Xumeng, pointing one hand outside, trying to speak, but he couldn't get it in one breath, and he was panting in a panic.
"What? The door was blocked? Who is it?" Huang Xun walked forward and pulled Xiao Liu, asking nervously.
Lin Yuanfang was also surprised. He just arrived at the management committee today and the door was blocked. Is this a coincidence, or is someone making trouble?
His heart was churning, but the expression on his face was very normal, and he said calmly: "Xiao Liu, don't panic, just say it slowly."
Xiao Liu covered his chest and gasped for a few breaths to breathe evenly, then said, "Yes, it's Boss Xu. Boss Xu and his migrant workers are now kneeling at the gate!"
"It's Boss Xu again!" Huang Xumeng shouted hatefully, turned around and looked at Lin Yuanfang, "Director Lin..."
Mo Rigen went to the county to do business, and Wen Xiangfeng went to the hospital to bandage the wound. The top leader who stayed in the management committee, only Lin Yuanfang made the decision to deal with it.
Lin Yuanfang was not sure about the ins and outs of this, and he couldn't make any idea. He said, "You report the situation to Director Mo immediately and ask him what to do."
Huang Xumeng immediately picked up the phone, dialed the 126 paging station, and paged Mo Rigen's number, asking him to reply to the phone immediately.
While he was paging, Lin Yuanfang was already standing in front of the window and looking at the gate of the management committee below. He saw a man in his fifties kneeling at the gate of the management committee. Behind him was a flatbed car, with a man lying on it, covered with a thick quilt. Behind the flatbed car, there was a person kneeling in thirty or forty people kneeling in black, and a large banner with red letters on white, looking shocking: "I urgently need hard-earned money to help my life! I beg the government of the management committee to give us our hard-earned money!"
Huang Xumeng put down the phone, came to the window, and looked down.
"Who are these people below?" Lin Yuanfang pointed to the bottom and asked, "What's going on? Why did the Management Committee ask them to pay back their hard-earned money?"
"Oh!" Huang Xumeng sighed, pointed to the man in his fifties who was kneeling down and said, "That person is Boss Xu, he is from Haozhuang Village, Xincheng District, and a contractor. The people kneeling behind him are all workers in the Xu boss Xu's construction team, and most of them are villagers from Haozhuang Village."
"Two years ago, Boss Xu's construction undertook the construction project extending eastward to Taihang Road in Xincheng District. The project was completed a year and a half ago. Because the management committee did not have funds in place, he responded to the lawsuit to pay more than 500,000 yuan of project payments for Boss Xu. In addition to the more than 300,000 yuan of material payments paid by Boss Xu himself, there were more than 30 migrant workers who had a total salary of more than 200,000 yuan. It was not that the management committee forced the money to not give them, but the management committee had no money. The original plan was to pay the project payment to them after collecting the urban construction supporting fee of Huayi Aluminum Factory, but Huayi Aluminum Factory had been dragging it down so it was dragged down."
"The workers in the construction team chased Mr. Xu every day to ask for wages. Mr. Xu had no choice but to bring them to the management committee to collect the bill." Huang Xumeng said: "Director Mo and Director Liu also felt that it was in a disadvantage, so they could only coax and drag it. After dragging it around, Mr. Xu simply didn't believe it. He brought people over to block the management committee's door every once in a while. It was either working hours or getting off work."
"So that's the case." Lin Yuanfang pondered for a moment and said, "Boss Xu is a contractor at least, so how can he not have some money? He first raises the workers' wages and waits for our management committee to get the money, and then settle it with him?"
Huang Xumeng was obviously very familiar with the situation. He shook his head and said, "Boss Xu had some money at the beginning, but he didn't have much money, about 100,000 yuan. In order to advance the materials for the project and to pay the food expenses of the No. 30 or 40 workers during the construction period, he borrowed more than 200,000 yuan of usury loans. He originally planned to pay it back immediately after receiving the project payment. But as a result, he was forced to sell his Santana to cover the debts of usury loans. He was also a pitiful person!"
Lin Yuanfang was silent for a while, pointed to the flatbed car 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 with his eyes. Xiao Liu hurriedly said: "The person lying on the flatbed car is also a worker from their construction team. He said that he had a late stage of liver ascites and had no money to treat, and he urgently needed wages to save his life."
Lin Yuanfang's heart tightened. He turned his head and looked at the phone, and asked Huang Xumeng: "Why haven't Director Mo replied to the paging yet?"
Huang Xumeng hurriedly said, "Maybe he didn't receive it, so I'll call another one. Alas, the paging station in our county is too rude!"
Up to now, there are only three base stations in the paging station in Mangnan County, and there are many signal blind spots. If Morigen is in the signal blind spot, he will definitely not receive the page and naturally he will not be able to reply to the phone.
Huang Xumeng called the 126 paging station and told the lady to call twice more. Then he called the county government duty room: "Is the county government duty room? I am Lao Huang of the Management Committee. Did we go to the county government in the afternoon? What, did you go? You left an hour ago? Oh, thank you, thank you."
Huang Xumeng did not put down the microphone, and he called Mo Rigen's home again: "Does Director Mo come back? No? Oh, I am the old Huang of the Management Committee. After Director Mo comes back, please ask him to call me back. Yes, I will come back to the Management Committee. I haven't gotten off work yet."
After putting down the phone, Huang Xumeng spread his hands towards Lin Yuanfang and said, "Director Mo has left the county government and has not returned home. We have to wait for the page to send a message."
Lin Yuanfang raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was already 5:45 in the afternoon, and it had been a quarter of an hour after get off work. Mo Rigen didn't know when he would be able to reply to the phone. He couldn't wait like this anymore. He had to make a decision. Otherwise, so many cadres and staff in the Management Committee were blocked and could not get off work and go home, so I still don't know what he thought of as the deputy director!
"Old Huang, let's not wait. Let's go and go down with me. I'll talk to Boss Xu." Lin Yuanfang said.
"Director Lin, you'd better not go. Otherwise, I'll call the county public security bureau and ask them to send someone over." Huang Xumeng said in a negotiated tone.
Lin Yuanfang waved his hand and said, "You can't do that. It's just that our management committee is responsible for the loss. If you call the police here, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire? I'll go down and talk to them."
As he said that, he walked down. Although Huang Xumeng was a little reluctant, he said to Xiao Liu: "Go and find a few more young people to come down." As he said that, he chased after a few steps and followed Lin Yuanfang downstairs.
Zhang Laosan had originally closed his eyes, but felt the quilt being lifted open, so he half opened his eyes and shouted weakly: "Brother Xu, Brother Xu, have you got the money?"
Boss Xu leaned down and whispered to Zhang Laosan's ear: "Three, don't worry, you will get the money soon. Now the leader is here to see you."
"Help...help me up..." Zhang Laosan struggled and said, "I...I have something to say to the leader..."
Boss Xu stretched out his arms to help Zhang Laosan. Lin Yuanfang hurriedly reached out to stop him. He walked to Zhang Laosan and said, "Uncle, I'm here. What do you have to say to me."
"Big leader..." Zhang Laosan tried hard to open his eyes, looking at Lin Yuanfang with a muddy and unconsciousness: "I have something... one thing... please help... help."
"You said, you said, I'll listen!" Lin Yuanfang leaned down again.
"When the government...the government pays...the payment, leave...the share...and give it to my wife...and let her support the child. I don't...no, don't waste it on me."
As he spoke, two lines of turbid tears rolled down from Zhang Laosan's eyes.
Lin Yuanfang felt sad. What a simple farmer. At this time, he was still thinking about Jiaxiao. Taking into account his identity, Lin Yuanfang suppressed the impulse in his heart, reached out and patted Zhang Laosan's arm, and said, "Uncle, don't worry. Your illness needs to be cured, and your wife and children must be raised."
He straightened his waist and said to Boss Xu, "Boss Xu, the first thing to save people. In this way, you can go to the county people's hospital with me now. Let's let Uncle Zhang be admitted to the hospital first. As for the project payments that the Management Committee owes you, wait until we settle Uncle Zhang, and then sit down and talk slowly, okay?"
"But...but, if you don't have money, the hospital won't allow you to stay." Boss Xu said.
"Don't worry about this, I'm there!" Lin Yuanfang said, "You just need to go with me." He said, turning around and saying to Huang Xumeng, "Does the Management Committee still have a car?"
"Our management committee van is still there!" Huang Xumeng said. The management committee has a total of three cars. In addition to the Poussan that was distributed to Morigen, another bus is used as a shuttle bus for commuting and getting off work. A Songhua River van is a public vehicle.
"Okay, you ask the driver to drive the van over, and we will take Uncle Zhang to the hospital now." Lin Yuanfang said.
"But..." Huang Xumeng said.
"Nothing, but you can transfer the car to you right away!" Lin Yuanfang waved.
Huang Xumeng responded and turned to find the driver. He thought in his mind, was Director Lin's plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain, or was it really sent the patient to the hospital? I think it was mostly lure the tiger out of the mountain, otherwise even if the patient was sent to the hospital in the name of the Management Committee, the hospital would never accept the patient without the transfer check from the Management Committee!
But if it was a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, how would Director Lin plan to get out?
A few minutes later, the driver came over with Songhua River bread. Lin Yuanfang directed a few people to carry Zhang Laosan into the car, and then asked Boss Xu to say, "You have two more workers, let's go to the hospital together. For the others, please let them go home first. When Zhang Laosan is settled, we will talk about other things."
