In the conference room.

An employee was prepared to serve tea. However, there were too many migrant workers and he didn’t have time to prepare so much tea.

The reporters were standing at the back of the room as they filmed the scenes.

It was as if a small ceremony was going to take place.

Lin Fan asked, “Leader Wang, what do you think we should do now?”

“That…” Leader Wang hesitated for a moment. “Master Lin, could you tell me what is going on? Once I understand the situation, I would be able to think of a solution.”

“Young Zhao, explain to him,” Lin Fan roughly knew the situation but he was still unclear about the general happenings.

Young Zhao was a little nervous. It was the first time he had seen such a powerful and influential leader. However, since the matter involved people’s salaries, he wanted to speak up about it.

He told him everything and didn’t hide anything from him.

After that, Leader Wang remained silent. It was a difficult situation.

The people that were directly in charge of the migrant workers were chief labor contractors, they belonged to the labor services companies. The people that were in charge of labor services companies were those from the construction companies. These construction companies were taken care of by the real estate developers.

It wasn’t that he had never encountered a situation like this. The money was difficult to obtain since he wouldn’t know who to get it from as there were many layers of relationships.

If he were to look for the labour services company’s managers, they could just claim that they didn’t take any money. Those companies above them could also claim the same thing.

It would be even more troublesome to deal with the construction companies. There were a lot of managers and they would all push the blame to one another. They wouldn’t have a proper closure.

Lin Fan asked, “Leader, if we were to reach such a situation, what would the Ministry of Manpower do?”

Leader Wang replied, “Usually, we serve as the supervisors. If people were to not give salaries, they would usually be dealt with by arbitration. If they can resolve it before that happens, they can resolve the problem by communication means. Usually, the arbitration process would take at least two years. When that happens, the New Year would probably be over. I suggest them to resolve it by communicating with one another.”

Lin Fan felt that the situation was a little complicated. He didn’t know what to say about some of the things.

However, it was true that people that owed money could behave like bosses.

If you were to ask for money, you’d have to be polite and courteous.

Ding ding!

Then, Lin Fan’s phone rang.

Lin Fan gestured for everyone to keep quiet before answering the call.

“Hello, who is this?”

The person on the phone sounded furious. He said, “Master Lin, do you think that there’s a need for that?”

“Who are you?” Lin Fan asked. Did the fella have some kind of illness? He spoke with such a bad tone even without introducing himself.

“I am the manager of a Mainland real estate project. Did you have to publicise that online? You knew that this would affect our company. You could have discussed it with us. Furthermore, the problem with their salaries has nothing to do with us. We have already sent the money to the relevant authorities. You should look for the construction companies and the labor services companies instead,” Manager Wu was so furious that he was going to kill someone.

The impact of the problem was great. It affected a lot of housing units. A lot of people feedbacked that they wanted to refund their housing units.

After they looked into the situation, they realized that someone had been scolding them on Weibo and that person was an influential one.

He was clearly trying to mess with them.
