Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Breaking the Siege
“That’s right!”
“We need to live, we need a way to survive, we can’t just be sent to our deaths for nothing.”
A group of workers began to protest. They didn’t care how distinguished your identity was or how much money you had. If you didn’t pay up, you were their enemy. Only when you paid would they consider you a boss, a benefactor. Now, it had been three months without wages, and no one could continue like this.
“Damn it!” Yang Daguo tried to suppress them with his authority, but, unexpectedly, his actions backfired, making the crowd incredibly angry. Gritting their teeth, they said, “Director Yang, if we don’t get our wages today, we’re not leaving. Even if the Heavenly King himself comes, we’ll stop him.”
The crowd was extremely agitated.
Yang Daguo also appeared helpless. After all, his words were useless at this moment, only showing real money would work. Yang Daguo helplessly looked at Li Xiaoya, who understood his predicament. She revealed a stunning smile and slowly stepped forward, “That’s right, I am the chairwoman of Huihong Group, my name is Li Xiaoya. I came to the factory today to resolve your issues. Give me three days, and I will definitely solve them. Alright?”
A woman’s words are often the gentlest, and many workers fell silent, seemingly contemplating.
At that moment, several people in the crowd shouted, “Don’t let her escape like the Golden Cicada’s Shedding. Where can we find you after three days!”
“Exactly, exactly!”
“Don’t let her leave, she can’t magically produce the money in three days.”
“Pay us now!”
The workers were worked up, and Li Xiaoya was terrified by this scene. Xiao Han quickly shielded Li Xiaoya behind him. Sweeping his eyes around, he understood without saying, that there were competitors’ people among the workers, and what’s worse, it could be the opponent’s infiltrators. Thus, he could not be careless. Who knew what the opponent was planning—if they meant harm to Li Xiaoya, wouldn’t he be out of luck?
With this thought, Xiao Han tightly protected Li Xiaoya.
“What should we do?” Li Xiaoya was panicking.
Although she was working hard to raise funds, the money couldn’t just appear so quickly. Moreover, she was already selling her villa. Though buyers were interested, a transaction worth over ten million wasn’t something that could be settled immediately. Wouldn’t it take some time?
“Let me handle it!” Xiao Han declared, thumping his chest.
“Can you handle it?” Li Xiaoya asked in surprise.
“How can we know without trying?” Xiao Han smiled, saying, “So let me try, maybe it will work?”
“Alright!” Li Xiaoya nodded helplessly. At this point, they could only hope for a miracle. After all, she really had no other option but to let Xiao Han try.
Xiao Han took a quick step forward.
The workers glanced over at Xiao Han, then said, “Even if the Heavenly King himself comes, we won’t let you go.”
“The Heavenly King?” Xiao Han heard this, laughed, and said, “A bunch of uneducated people, your old man doesn’t bear the surname Heavenly King, only Xiao. Tell me, has Huihong Group ever mistreated you?”
The crowd was silent.
“No!” someone in the crowd shouted.
“Besides this time, have we ever delayed your wages?” Xiao Han asked again.
“No!” another person spoke up.
“And are the wages here lower than other places?” Xiao Han said dismissively.
“No!” The crowd shook their heads, and some even said, “It’s even a bit higher than other places.”
“Exactly, that is to say, Huihong Group has been more than fair and just.” Xiao Han sneered coldly, a hateful glint flashing in his eyes, “In contrast, you bastards, when Huihong Group is in trouble, instead of helping, you add insult to injury. Unfaithful, unrighteous, unkind, unfilial, you are despicable to everyone!”
The workers were stunned, and the crowd fell silent.
Indeed, Huihong Group had always been people-oriented. The salary was ten percent higher than other places, benefits better, even the leadership stronger. But, why were they still unsatisfied?
“No!” someone in the crowd vehemently shouted, “Everything is fine, but we can’t not eat for three months! We can’t go three months without salaries. We have elderly and children to support at home…”
“Yes, we have families to take care of. We have too many things to handle.”
“That’s right, we also need to eat.”
Among the crowd, those few hidden individuals were quickly exposed, although they only played a role in guiding public opinion, Xiao Han had memorized them with his powerful memory. Xiao Huan had long known that these individuals had ulterior motives. Thus, this time he had to find them out no matter what.
“Okay!” Xiao Han nodded and said, “Since you have brought it up, the wages owed by Huihong Group will be paid by me.”
Whoosh…
The scene was filled with astonishment.
Everyone was surprised as they looked at Xiao Han, who seemed no different from an ordinary worker. Those who were unaware might even think Xiao Han was Li Xiaoya’s driver, but Li Xiaoya’s drivers were always dressed in suits, how could they wear casual sports attire like this? Everyone seemed puzzled and surprised.
“Damn, do you have money?”
“Exactly, do you have money? Dressed so poorly!”
People began to ridicule.
“Xiao Han!” Li Xiaoya also doubted Xiao Han had that much money, although he owned several chain stores and a company. But, after all, it was just a drop in the bucket; seeing his restaurant and electronics company, it all seemed like child’s play. He simply couldn’t be making any money. Therefore, Li Xiaoya had never thought about asking Xiao Han for help. However, she didn’t know that the seemingly unprofitable business was actually the most lucrative industry.
The industry that Li Xiaoya despised had created Xiao Han, the millionaire.
“Sister, let me do it,” Xiao Han looked at Li Xiaoya confidently.
“I…” Li Xiaoya’s face turned slightly red, and said, “Do you have that much money?”
“Yes!” Xiao Han nodded confidently.
At this moment, Yang Daguo also appeared quite surprised, just thinking Xiao Han was just a staff member brought by Li Xiaoya. He did not expect such a close relationship between Xiao Han and Li Xiaoya, which made Yang Daguo even more astonished. Curiously, he looked at Xiao Han, this young man in his twenties, could he really be a hidden millionaire? Yang Daguo’s eyes became somewhat complex.
Xiao Han glanced at them, then said, “Listen carefully, the wages Huihong Group owes you will be paid in full today. Once the wages are in your account, you must dutifully go to work and complete all the work you previously owed, working overtime tirelessly.”
“Do we even need to say it?”
“Exactly, we will definitely complete it working overtime.”
The group of people shouted loudly. Having money certainly provided motivation. Without it, who the hell would be willing to work with them? Nowadays is a society where money is supreme, a society flow with material desires. Without tasting the benefits, who has the motivation? Without receiving advantages, who would work?
At this point, Xiao Han turned to Yang Daguo and said, “Director Yang, go prepare their surety statements immediately.”
“Ah?” Yang Daguo was startled.
Xiao Han took out a bank card and said, “This card has more than twenty million, enough to cover their salaries. Also, have them sign a surety statement when they collect their salaries, committing them to work overtime punctually. Furthermore, for the next month, all overtime will not include overtime pay, as it will count as compensation for their previous absences!”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Yang Daguo, hearing this and trembling, had not expected this card to contain over twenty million. Xiao Han really did carry a huge sum with him. Yang Daguo was shocked by Xiao Han and hurriedly took the bank card from Xiao Han’s hands, then rushed towards the office.
The secretaries and several office staff began to bustle. The company’s printers and copiers started to work frenetically. There was a sudden rush to prepare hundreds of surety statements. However, there was enough time.
Yang Daguo discreetly checked Xiao Han’s card, and indeed there was over twenty-three million. When he saw the balance, he couldn’t help but be profoundly shocked.
This shock was from deep within his heart. A person he completely looked down upon suddenly produced so much money, and selflessly at that. Yang Daguo indeed felt an immense surprise and shock.
Yang Daguo hurriedly began to instruct several financial staff members to distribute the salaries.
The salaries were directly transferred from Xiao Han’s account. Previously, the workers’ salaries were entrusted to the bank for distribution, but now the company’s account was empty. Xiao Han’s card was a personal card, which made transfers relatively more complicated. However, for these professional accountants, it wasn’t a problem at all. They distributed one by one, calling the workers to the office, then having them confirm the balance in their accounts and also having them sign the surety statements.
The workers were skeptical at first, but when they received their pay slips and received SMS notifications of the bank transfer transactions, they believed. Some still doubtful people hurried to the ATM to withdraw the money before they believed.
“I really got the money.”
“Yes, I got it too.”
Those who received their salaries were very excited and also very thrilled. Having money in hand is the true principality. Once everyone heard the money had really been received, everyone became extremely excited. All of them eagerly lined up at the door. In total, four finance personnel, with all four simultaneously busy. Since it was a payroll task, they couldn’t be disorderly; everything had to be organized and systematic.
