After Bing Tianyi finished questioning, Sky had nothing to say and stood with his head down.
Bing Tianyi stood up and smashed the bowl in his hand onto the ground, then spoke clearly: "If any of you refuse to admit it, then tonight we will work overtime. I want all of your accounts prepared. I will check every dormitory on the construction sites."
As he said this, Bing Tianyi prepared to turn and leave.
Just as he finished speaking, Mo Yonggang was completely enraged. He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the group, saying bluntly: "Whose construction site is like this? Speak up now. If you don’t, you know what the consequences will be."
"It's mine, mine is like that too," Sky murmured in response.
After Sky finished speaking, two others nearby hesitantly said, "Ours is like that too."
Listening to their claims, Bing Tianyi was stunned. Out of the entire construction team, only two teams were actually following their agreement.
"Well done, you really are something," Bing Tianyi said before turning to look downstairs at the Migrant Workers. At that moment, Old Huang was distributing dinner money for that night to everyone.
The workers in the room all went outside. Mo Yonggang approached Bing Tianyi and whispered, "Boss Bing, I was wrong about this matter."
After a brief consideration, Bing Tianyi waved his hand and said quietly: "Notify those who didn’t come. There will be a meeting in the company conference room tonight. It’s exactly eight o'clock now. If they aren’t here by eight twenty, they can just settle their accounts and leave tomorrow."
Mo Yonggang quickly nodded in agreement and hurriedly took out his phone to notify those who were absent.
At eight twenty that evening, all the company leaders arrived, including Duck Brother, the Rat, and Zhou Hui from the Brick Factory.
Bing Tianyi sat at the front and said softly: "Let’s start the meeting now."
After finishing his words, Bing Tianyi was momentarily at a loss for where to begin. He stared blankly for a few seconds, then sighed and said earnestly to the group of leaders in front of him, "Dear brothers and sisters, I, Bing Tianyi, am young and honestly not worthy of being your boss. But since I have taken on this role, as I mentioned before, I hope you can take good care of me."
Hearing Bing Tianyi say this, the workers lowered their heads in silence. Seeing this, Bing Tianyi continued to speak clearly, "Perhaps I was too harsh on some of you tonight. But you all know why; I provide each migrant worker with a meal allowance of thirty yuan a day, which totals nine hundred yuan a month. Additionally, there are holiday bonuses and other benefits. Altogether, each migrant worker receives at least one thousand yuan in meal allowances each month. I believe one thousand yuan should be enough for these migrant workers to have meat every meal, right?"
The group of leaders remained silent.
Bing Tianyi stood up, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath. He paced around for a moment before speaking again, "Of course, there are also the workers' dormitories. Although the Brick Factory is still in its early stages and has not yet begun production, I have visited the dormitories for those workers. They are made of color steel and accommodate four people per room with only two bunk beds inside. But what about some of you? I don't know where the accommodation fees for the workers have gone."
Mo Yonggang stood up after hearing Bing Tianyi's words and quietly sighed, "Boss Bing, these matters are my oversight. But rest assured, I will thoroughly investigate this issue. As for those who embezzled the migrant workers' meal allowances and accommodation fees, I will prosecute them according to the law."
Upon hearing this, several foremen who had engaged in such activities broke out in cold sweat.
Bing Tianyi sighed helplessly and said, "I don't really want to send anyone to the judicial system over this matter. I just want to understand what those involved were thinking. How could you cut the wages of migrant workers? Is it not enough that you earn several thousand or even tens of thousands more than them each month? Sky, what do you think about this?"
Sky stood up with a trembling voice and said, "Boss Bing, don’t worry; such things will definitely not happen again."
"Don't say that just yet; I want to hear how you felt when you were doing this," Bing Tianyi asked curiously.
At that moment, Sky was in turmoil. Since he started working under Big Head, he had always acted this way. Initially thinking it was just a joke upon seeing the new company's regulations, he never expected that the company would actually provide meal allowances for the construction team based on headcount each month. This naturally led Sky to see more profit.
Thus, starting from cutting five or ten yuan per person at first to now cutting fifteen yuan per person—he had managed to pocket half of the funds into his own wallet.
Of course, Bing Tianyi also understood that he could not deal with any of these individuals right now. Such widespread corruption would require punishing everyone involved. If all these people were sent to the judicial system, the construction teams would be left leaderless and would only delay progress.
"Alright then, since none of you are willing to speak up, I won't press further. Now that things have happened, I want to hear how you plan to make amends," Bing Tianyi asked again.
The group began to discuss in low voices, and after a while, Sky stood up and said, "Bing, we will start doing things according to the company's procedures tomorrow."
"Alright, I have plenty of time lately, and I will occasionally have company personnel conduct spot checks. If I find out about similar issues happening again, I won't let you off easily," Bing Tianyi said firmly.
After this was said, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Once the meeting concluded, Bing Tianyi called Mo Yonggang, Duck Brother, and Old Huang into his office. After they entered, Bing Tianyi brewed a cup of tea for the three of them. Once they were seated, Bing Tianyi looked at Mo Yonggang and sighed, "I may have been a bit too harsh in my remarks today; I hope you don't mind."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yonggang revealed a delighted smile and quickly replied, "Bing, you are too polite. To be honest, I've long been dissatisfied with these issues on the construction site. But as you know, such matters are everywhere on our county's construction sites, and I couldn't speak frankly to you. I never expected you would step in to manage things today; it was truly exhilarating."
Hearing this, Bing Tianyi chuckled lightly and said, "Well, it was a necessary measure."
After Bing Tianyi finished speaking, Mo Yonggang curiously asked, "Bing, there's one thing I still want to ask you. Why did you let those people go tonight? Each of them took at least several hundred thousand from the company."
Bing Tianyi smiled wryly and replied, "If we dealt with all of them, wouldn't our construction team be paralyzed?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yonggang immediately realized that he had wasted many years in the construction team.
While Mo Yonggang was deep in thought, Bing Tianyi smiled and said, "Manager Mo, I want to ask you about something regarding the deposit for the migrant workers. Was that your arrangement?"
"Yes, that was my arrangement. As you know, there are quite a few people changing jobs at the construction site now. Some workers we hire leave after just three or four days of work. It becomes too troublesome when it comes time for financial settlement, so I decided to do it this way," Mo Yonggang explained candidly.
Bing Tianyi pondered for a moment before looking at Mo Yonggang with a smile and saying, "Manager Mo, let's cancel that policy from now on. However, we can sign contracts instead; I'll draft the specific contract tomorrow for you to review."
Mo Yonggang nodded in response and said, "That works too."
Bing Tianyi glanced at the time and said, "Alright, you go ahead and get busy. If anything comes up, I'll reach out to you."
Mo Yonggang stood up to say goodbye. After Mo Yonggang left, Old Huang leaned in and quietly asked Bing Tianyi, "Boss Bing, when you mentioned canceling the deposit earlier, it seemed a bit unreliable to me."
"Haha, there's nothing unreliable about it. As long as these construction teams treat the Migrant Workers according to our company's regulations, I believe we won't have any trouble finding Migrant Workers willing to work for us," Bing Tianyi replied confidently.
In reality, Bing Tianyi understood that with the gradual development of society, these Migrant Workers were not solely focused on how much they would earn. After all, in the construction industry, wages are somewhat standardized. It’s not the case that some Construction Companies pay their workers two hundred while others pay only one hundred.
Typically, a laborer's daily wage ranges from one hundred to one hundred ten. Only in rare cases, when absolutely necessary, would the wage be raised to one hundred fifty. However, such situations are quite uncommon.
The company is one aspect; the other is the treatment of the Migrant Workers. If a construction site can provide workers with mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, word will undoubtedly spread among the Migrant Workers. The following year, as long as this site is hiring again, there will surely be people eager to come.
To a large extent, they are not just interested in those few worthless mooncakes; rather, they value the dignity that comes with being recognized as laborers.
Seeing the confident smile on Bing Tianyi's face, Old Huang chuckled and said, "Alright then, let's see what you can do next."
Bing Tianyi chuckled a few times and took a sip of water before looking at Duck Brother and directly asking, "Duck Brother, how's your investigation going?"
At that moment, Duck Brother revealed a strange smile and said to Bing Tianyi, "Brother Bing, do you know who Qi Xin is?"
Bing Tianyi smiled lightly but realized from Duck Brother's expression that he was not an ordinary character; his background must be significant.
"Stop keeping me in suspense; just tell me what you know," Bing Tianyi said while looking at Duck Brother.
