Chapter 304: Invite Migrant Workers to Have Meal2_1

"The boss of Huatai is downright cruel. He’s got plenty of money but refuses to pay us our wages. We haven’t received last year’s pay, and after the New Year, he had us work yet failed to settle our wages for three months — promising to pay another three months’ worth by June, which he still hasn’t!" The contractor, dishevelled and ragged from evidently living rough, voiced his sorrows.

Lin Xiangwan was guilt-ridden as though she was the one who owed them the money.

She couldn’t help but question herself. Why was she feeling this way? Qin Muchuan, that bastard, and her were not the same, they were on opposite sides.

"Good people get good returns, and the disgusting capitalists will get their comeuppance sooner or later!" Lin Xiangwan spoke indignantly.

"That’s right, we always curse their boss, wishing his children to be born impotent, his wife raped!" another construction worker said grimly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiangwan was shocked. Weren’t they cursing her and her child?

Ji Sen furrowed his brow, unwilling to let it continue. "Hey, hey, hey, don’t go too far with your words. If you want to curse, just curse that the boss of Huatai gets hit by a car or arrested upon leaving his house, or forgets to bring toilet paper when he goes to the toilet. Don’t curse his wife and children. What do they have to do with this?"

Lin Xiangwan echoed his sentiment, "Exactly, perhaps his wife and children are not the same as this boss. Maybe they are good people."

The construction workers, rough and rugged, ready to fight at a moment’s notice, stared back defiantly at Ji Sen, "I said what I said, what of it?"

"Because it’s wrong!" Ji Sen shot back.

The atmosphere grew tense, ready to explode at any moment.

Lin Xiangwan hurried to intervene. "Ji Sen, don’t!"

The foreman intervened too, trying to calm down the younger worker. "Look at you, getting all fired up. These good people invited us to have a meal!"

The young worker finally calmed, admitting that arguing was not worth all the hassle, especially over Huatai’s rotten boss. "Alright, I won’t say anything more. But your friend here is definitely too hot-tempered; almost feels like you know the boss’s wife and child!"

On hearing this, Ji Sen really wanted to say, isn’t that the case?!

He looked over at Lin Xiangwan. She shook her head, indicating not to speak rashly. "Oh, how could we know such rich people? We’re just like you all, enemies of that damned boss! And the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so I guess we’re friends now. Let’s eat, everyone~"

"Has Huatai also owed you money?" the foreman asked.

Lin Xiangwan nodded. "Yes."

"It must be a large sum of money to owe people like you. You all look affluent!" The foreman was a little shy. "Actually, we’re not beggars. We used to earn quite a bit every day and were respected back home. Now, we’ve almost become beggars!"

Lin Xiangwan understood their feelings. They must be feeling pretty inferior. "Don’t think too much. What would you like to drink? Beer or white wine? It’s on me!"

"Let’s have beer. It’s pretty hot today. Thanks!" the foreman said, feeling a little embarrassed.

Lin Xiangwan was generous and asked the waiter to bring several crates of beer and ordered quite a lot of food. She even paid the bill before leaving!

The foreman was extremely grateful. He insisted on noting down Lin’s phone number.

Lin Xiangwan at first did not want to leave her number, but couldn’t hold out against their gratitude and finally gave them her contact number.

Then, she was taken away by Ji Sen.

Back in the car, Ji Sen laughed, "So, you’ve finally spent a considerable amount of Qin Muchuan’s money. You feel better now, right?"

Lin Xiangwan didn’t feel anything special about it. Call this a significant expense?

To Qin Muchuan, this was merely a drop in the bucket. "Regardless, using his money to treat those guys to a feast was the least that he could do!"

"Exactly, Qin Muchuan is really shameless. He can exploit the workers, but he should at least pay the basic salaries, right? Yet he even wants to scam out of that. What kind of person is he!" Ji Sen spat.

"Didn’t you already say it? He’s despicable!" Lin Xiangwan’s impression of Qin Muchuan had worsened. He proved problematic not just in his personal life, but his work ethics were just as appalling.

She regretted it now. Why did she ever fancy him? What did he have that was worth her affection?

Nevertheless, spending a good amount of money certainly elevated her spirits.

Maybe she should do something more for these construction workers?

A small thought began to form in her mind.

......

’Ding’ a message alert rang out.

Qin Muchuan usually ignored these messages. If there were essential matters, people would call him, not text.

But just as he was about to dial a number, a notification popped up on his screen.

A card ending in 8320 had just spent 15,000 yuan.

SHE spent that?

Qin Muchuan’s mouth curved into a smile. He wasn’t upset that she was spending his money, in fact, it made him happy.

Perhaps this meant she still thought of him as her husband.

The secretary who just entered saw the CEO smiling, immediately putting her at ease from her moments of tension.

"CEO, Miss Zhou Ziqing has arrived!"

Qin Muchuan didn’t bother to turn his head. "Let her in!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Ziqing entered the office and locked the door. "Muchuan, I’m here!"

Qin Muchuan turned and pointed to the sofa. "Sit!"

"Did you need something?" Zhou Ziqing didn’t sit, but instead approached him.

"I wanted to discuss an agreement with you." Qin Muchuan passed a contract to her.

"Oh!" Zhou Ziqing was slightly disappointed. She had hoped it was because he missed her.

"There have been some changes to the agreement. After a board resolution, we decided on a one-time payment for your software. We will pay you 5 million yuan. If you accept, then we’ll go ahead; if not... there’s nothing else I can do!"

Zhou Ziqing thought for a while. "Okay, I’ll sell."

She knew well that 5 million yuan for the software was by no means a small amount!

"But, are you the one to sign the agreement? Doesn’t your boyfriend need to make an appearance?" Xiao Qingcang asked.

"I am his representative!"

"No, that’s unacceptable. We need the person in question to sign!" Qin Muchuan shook his head.

"My boyfriend can’t return immediately!"

"If that’s the case, then we can wait until he returns to sign the contract!" Qin Muchuan took the contract back for now.

Zhou Ziqing thought for a moment. "Then I will get him to come back as soon as possible!"

"Mm!"

Afterwards, she could feel that he had nothing else to say. He remained silent, his lips pressed thin.

"Muchuan!" Zhou Ziqing suddenly spoke with a mix of emotion and excitement. "This is the first time I’m seeing you work, and you look so handsome!"
