Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 291 Investigation

Recently, more than a dozen migrant workers who claim to be from Daokou County have joined Boss Xie's team of migrant workers.

Boss Xie felt that some of the people among them had strange accents, more like local people from Daokou County, but they were strong and looked like strong laborers, so he accepted them without giving it much thought.

After all, this kind of situation has been happening quite frequently recently.

Ever since Gao Qiqiang gained a reputation in Jiangchang County and insisted on paying workers daily, word spread quickly, and the reputation of Qiangsheng Company spread among migrant workers, leading many to consider switching jobs.

This also made Boss Xie feel a bit like a contractor. With the power to recruit people, how could he give up the opportunity to make a fortune? Everyone who wanted to come in had to bribe him.

In addition, for every additional person under him, Gao Qiqiang would give himself an extra dime every day.

Although one cent may not be a lot, his team now has 200 people. That means even if he doesn't go to work, he can still earn 20 yuan a day, which is more than what two laborers make.

Boss Xie, who has everything under his belt, has been extremely cool recently.

Of course, all of this is conditional, which is to ensure the normal operation of his construction site. If the construction site is shut down due to the workers' reasons one day, he will have to pay compensation. This is stipulated in the contract.

Therefore, Boss Xie worked extra hard and urged the workers to work hard as soon as they started working. "Brothers, work hard. Mr. Gao told me yesterday that if the old people like us are still working for him next year, he will give us an extra dollar a day, and we will still be paid on a daily basis."

The migrant workers immediately shouted.

"Mr. Gao is such a good boss."

"Yeah, we've been working on construction sites for so many years, and this is the first time I've met such a nice boss. Not only can we have meat for every meal, but we can also get paid every day after work. Where can you find such a treatment? I would work for such a boss even if he didn't pay me."

"Come on! Lao Lu, if you don't give me the money, you'll curse me harder than anyone else."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Boss Xie also started laughing, and his eyes turned red as he laughed. He unconsciously wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands.

This is the first time in many years that I have completed a project that went so smoothly.

Since that year, the county has mobilized everyone to form construction teams and go out. They have completed so many projects and so many cities have sprung up in their hands, but who can understand the bitterness and hardships of thousands of people like them.

It is common to not be able to settle accounts, and injuries, disabilities, and even deaths are not uncommon. Once this happens, if you have a kind boss, you will just give him some money and let him go.

If you have bad intentions, you will be thrown out directly, and if you dare to cause trouble, you will be beaten severely.

Their Daokou County is relatively better off, as they have a good county magistrate. As long as they report it, the county government will actively seek justice for them, and they will be able to get some money in the end. The situation in other places is even more difficult to describe.

Just as he was thinking about it, Boss Xie saw General Manager Gao coming over with two managers and a group of thugs holding sticks.

Boss Xie was startled and hurried forward, a little nervous, "Boss Gao, you...what's wrong with you? Are there bad guys again?"

Gao Qiqiang said with a sullen face: "Old Xie, there's a spy in our team."

"What...what do you mean?"

"I've got reliable information. Someone's trying to sabotage our construction site. Don't make a sound for now. Call all the new workers you've hired into the warehouse one by one. I want to interrogate them.

Remember, don't miss any of this. If the construction site is damaged, we'll all be in trouble. I'll lose money, and you'll lose your jobs."

Boss Xie quickly replied, "Boss Gao, don't worry, I will definitely find these saboteurs."

Having said that, he turned around and called for help.

Gao Qiqiang ordered: "Xiaolong, take a group of brothers to guard the gate. If anyone escapes, beat them!

Xiaohu, take a group of brothers into the warehouse."

After everything was ready, Gao Qiqiang signaled Boss Xie to start calling people.

The migrant workers also saw this and became excited. They all asked Boss Xie what was going on. "Boss Xie, what is Boss Gao doing? Is there money to be made?"

Boss Xie remained calm and said, "Oh, it has nothing to do with us. Mr. Gao wants to know about the new employee's work situation."

Then he pointed at two people and said, "Xue Wu and Xue Liu, go to the office. Mr. Gao wants to question you."

The two brothers, one tall and strong, the other short and thin, staggered into the warehouse under the leadership of Boss Xie.

As soon as he entered the warehouse, the door was immediately blocked by three thugs.

In the dim warehouse, Gao Qiqiang, whom they regarded as a good boss, leaned back in his chair with his feet on the desk, looking the two of them up and down.

There were two empty oil drums standing in front of the two men, like man-eating monsters.

The tall Xue Wu vigilantly protected his younger brother behind him.

Boss Xie introduced them, "Mr. Gao, these two are Xue Wu and Xue Liu, they came here a few days ago."

Xue Wu and Xue Liu followed and respectfully called out "Mr. Gao".

Gao Qiqiang is a fishmonger, and he may lack some knowledge of official rules, but he still has a certain ability to distinguish between all kinds of people in the market.

The two men looked like honest migrant workers. Gao Qiqiang asked, "Where are you from?"

"We are from Nanhe." Xue Wu and Xue Liu did not dare to hide it.

Boss Xie took the two people's ID cards and said, "Mr. Gao."

Gao Qiqiang took a look and nodded slightly. He took out a wad of money from his backpack, took out ten yuan and handed it to Boss Xie along with his ID card, and waved his hand. "Okay, there's nothing for you to do now. I just saw that you're new here, so I'll give you some small benefits."

The Xue brothers' expressions relaxed and they smiled happily. They had not expected such a good thing to happen.

Xue Liu, a short and thin man, couldn't hold the door open. He showed off as soon as he walked out, waving the money in his hand and saying, "Our boss is really kind. He gave us money."

Everyone immediately looked at him with envy.

Several people in the crowd looked at each other and secretly dropped the steel bars they were preparing to use as weapons.

Next, Boss Xie called out to two more people, "Tiezi, Biaozi, it's your turn."

Two sturdy men followed Boss Xie into the warehouse.

At first sight, Gao Qiqiang could tell that something was wrong with the two men. Unlike the timid migrant workers, the two men had a murderous look on their faces and their bodies were strong and powerful. Such people were definitely not migrant workers.

Gao Qiqiang glanced at Tang Xiaohu who was standing on the side. The latter understood and waved his hand, and a group of people suddenly moved.

Before the two men could react, they were pushed to the ground and a smelly rag was stuffed in their mouths.

"Behave yourself, or I'll kill you." Tang Xiaohu pulled out a dagger and pressed it against one of their necks.

The man then gave up struggling.

Gao Qiqiang lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. "Tell me, who sent you?"

The two men stiffened their necks and glared at Gao Qiqiang.

Gao Qiqiang made a gesture, and Tang Xiaohu stepped forward, "Behave yourself. If you start yelling, I'll stab you."

As he said this, he pulled the rag out of someone's mouth.

The man spat twice, clearing the sand from his mouth, and cursed, "Gao Qiqiang, don't be so arrogant! Do you know who the real boss is in Jiangchang County?"
