Chapter 785: Something is wrong

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

At the Ministry of Manpower.

The workers were getting anxious. It wasn’t their first time there and their trips there were practically useless.

Lin Fan led them there and the security guard immediately rushed out after seeing the situation.

“What are you doing?” The security guard asked before shouting for back up.

Lin Fan replied, “I brought them here to seek help from the leaders so that they can get their salaries.”

The security guard furrowed his brows, “Why are there so many of you? If you want your salaries, you should head to the relevant authorities. Why are you here? Get lost and do not cause trouble.”

Then, a lot of reporters started rushing in. When they saw the crowd at the entrance of the Ministry of Manpower, they were ecstatic.

“Master Lin...” Even when nobody could be seen, the voices of the reporters could be heard.

When the security guard saw that there were so many reporters, he was stunned.

What were they doing?

A reporter said, “Master Lin, may I know what is happening? Why are you requesting for their salaries?”

The reporters took turns to ask questions.

When the migrant workers saw the situation, they were in disbelief. They were even a little anxious. They felt like the matter had been blown up.

Lin Fan faced the reporters and said calmly, “Actually, the situation is simple. One of my fans is a worker at the construction site. He sent me several private messages on Weibo to seek my help. However, I didn’t really take note of my private messages recently. Hence, I didn’t see the messages until today. I contacted him and found out that he hadn’t received his salary and I wanted to help him out.”

The reporter asked, “May I know if you decided to help him just because he is your fan?”

Lin Fan waved his hand, “This is just one of the reasons but it is not the only reason. A beautiful city has to rely on these workers to build on the foundation. They build everything with their bare hands so that we can live comfortably in our houses. We have to thank them for everything. Now that the New Year is almost here, they’re not getting what they should be paid. As long as you have a kind heart, you definitely would do something about it.”

Gradually, people started to gather around them.

“Well said.”

“That’s right. If not for them, we wouldn’t be able to live in such beautiful houses.”

“As for Mother Earth Real Estate Corporation, I don’t care how many people they hired. These workers worked for them and I am here at the Ministry of Manpower today to seek the help of the leaders,” Lin Fan added.

The security guard at the entrance felt that something was wrong and he immediately contacted the leader.

There were reporters and the New Year was coming. If they didn’t handle this situation carefully and if it were to blow up to a national level, the consequences would be unimaginable.

A reporter said, “What Master Lin said was right. This should never happen at all.”

As reporters, they had encountered a lot of incidents before. Sometimes, when things get blown up, the companies would start paying the workers. However, those that were unlucky would have their managers running away. In the end, they would have wasted a year of hard work.

...

The leader of the reporter was drinking tea and when he heard about this incident, his face changed. “What? You mean Master Lin brought the people here?”

“Yes. I think it’s because the construction company isn’t paying them. One of them is a big fan of Master Lin. Hence, Master Lin led them here to seek help from us.”

The leader was stunned, “Does this have anything to do with him?”

“No, but the reporters are here. Furthermore, Master Lin is considered to be a public figure. His actions and words are always being watched.”

The leader didn’t reply. However, he had understood it. If he didn’t manage this properly, things were going to get worse.

Especially since the reporters were there. According to the information he had gotten, there were a lot of reporters. If he didn’t take the initiative to resolve this, who knew what rubbish the reporters were going to write about him?

He didn’t think about anything else. He immediately stood up and went out to handle the situation.

He had to do something about it. He had to resolve it by today.

At the entrance of the Ministry of Manpower.

Leader Wang rushed forward. When he saw Lin Fan, his face changed. He went forward and greeted him warmly, “Hi, Master Lin.”

Lin Fan smiled, “Hi, Leader Wang. I hope you’re not too angry. I am helpless about this issue.”

“I understand.” Then, he added sternly, “Master Lin, don’t worry. I will definitely handle this well. They are one of the main reasons why Shanghai is so beautiful today. Now that something like that has happened, I will definitely resolve this.”

Lin Fan replied, “Then, I’ll have to trouble you.”

“Don’t say that. The aim of the Ministry of Manpower is to serve the citizens. If we had known about this earlier, we wouldn’t have let Master Lin come here personally,” Leader Wang said.

The reporters surrounded them. One of them asked, “Hi, Leader Wang. May I know if these workers can get their salaries back?”

Leader Wang looked at the reporter and patted his chest. “They will definitely get their salaries. If not, the government will pay. We will ensure that they return home happily for the New Year.” Of course, he couldn’t have said that the workers wouldn’t be able to get their salaries back.

*clap*

Lin Fan started applauding. Then, he looked at the migrant workers. “Did you hear that? The leader has spoken. If he can’t get your money, the government will pay for you. Quick, thank the leader.”

When the migrant workers heard that, they were ecstatic. It was as if the government had too much money to spare.

Leader Wang smiled but it was a little awkward. Since he had said such a thing, he had to keep to it. What else could he do?

This time, he couldn’t push the blame onto someone else anymore. If he were to do so, he’d be dead.

Leader wang said, “Come in first. Let’s understand the situation before we resolve it. In recent years, we have received quite a number of such complaints about delayed salaries. We’ve resolved them promptly. I believe it wouldn’t be an exception this time.”

Lin Fan said, “We’re helpless about it. We can only rely on you for it.”

“Don’t say that,” Leader Wang said humbly. He had been praised by Lin Fan and he couldn’t back down on his promise.

The reporters didn’t want to leave at all. They wanted to know the development of the situation.

A large group of people entered the conference room of the Ministry of Manpower.

On the way there, Leader Wang had been thinking about how to resolve this problem.

The real estate developers these days were really crafty and the situation was difficult to resolve.

They weren’t the only ones that were trying to push the blame away. The real estate developers were the best at pushing the blame.

They contracted workers from different sub-companies and the terms and conditions were written clearly. They used them to push the blame. Sometimes, they wouldn’t even know who to look for if they encountered a problem.

It was a headache.

At the labor services company.

The previous chief labor contractor who spoke to the manager on the phone was stunned when he saw the situation online.

He didn’t expect such a thing to happen.

He didn’t expect Master Lin to post on Weibo to attract reporters.

However, they really didn’t have any money. When they received money from the companies that managed them, they spent all the money on the facilities of the construction site. They had to take the remaining money home for the New Year and they didn’t have any money left for these migrant workers.

However, when he saw the Weibo post, he felt that something was wrong.
