The Underground Emperor: Starting from Running Away with Sister-in-law - Page 651
When the time comes, it will be his personal secretary who will have to clean up the mess.
"Why, as a representative, don't I even have the authority to handle some matters?"
Zhao Taiwu asked coldly.
"I'm sorry, representative, I said something wrong, please forgive me!"
Secretary Cui secretly complained in his heart. He knew that he could not go against Zhao Taiyu's decision, so he could only respond helplessly: "I will do as you say and bring them here immediately!"
"Humph!"
Zhao Taiwu snorted heavily and said nothing more. He turned around and walked into the building with a group of bodyguards.
"Ugh--"
Secretary Cui looked at Zhao Taiwu's back and sighed deeply.
He turned his head to look at the three people holding protest banners in the distance, shook his head helplessly, moved his body, and walked towards them.
at the same time...
I was secretly praying in my heart that today's matter could be resolved smoothly, and that it would not get worse...
......
ten minutes later.
Inside the representative's office.
Zhao Taiwu sat expressionlessly behind the large desk, leaning back in the chair with his feet on the desk, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Besides him...
There were also several professional bodyguards in suits standing in the office.
The people they are about to meet are the ones protesting outside, and no one knows what will happen, so as bodyguards they must stay by their employer's side at all times.
"Boom boom boom——"
There was a knock on the door, breaking the silence in the office.
"Come in!"
Secretary Cui opened the door and walked in with the three people holding protest banners...
As soon as I walked in...
He introduced the three people, "This is Zhao Taiyu, the representative of our new construction company!"
After the introduction, the office fell silent again.
The three of them were obviously a little nervous. They just stood there a little awkwardly without saying a word. They only glanced at Zhao Taiwu who was sitting behind the desk from time to time.
Zhao Taiwu still had no expression on his face. He just raised his head slightly and glanced at them coldly.
A few seconds later.
Zhao Taiwu's expression suddenly changed and he put on a warm smile.
He stood up and walked around the desk, saying in a joking tone: "Oh my god, our Republic of Korea is a civilized country. How can you hold that kind of sign on the street and say those vulgar words? It's just making people laugh..."
While talking...
He also walked to the sofa and sat down, then pointed to the terraced sofa next to the three people and said with a smile: "Don't stand anymore. You have been standing outside for a long time. It's tiring. Sit down and talk if you have any requests..."
The words fell.
The three of them did not react at all, still standing there with a hint of uneasiness.
At first glance, he is an honest man with a little inferiority complex.
Zhao Taiwu frowned. He really didn't like someone turning a deaf ear to his words, no matter what the reason was.
Secretary Cui saw this...
He quickly pushed the three of them to the terraced sofa and urged them to sit down quickly.
The three of them sat down hesitantly, but their bodies were still tense, and they lowered their heads slightly and dared not say a word.
At this time...
The female secretary outside also walked in with three cups of coffee and placed them in front of the three people under the instructions of Secretary Cui.
Zhao Taiwu crossed his legs, tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous, you can tell me anything, I am a very easy-going person, as long as your demands are reasonable, I will do my best to satisfy you!
So, can you tell me why you are protesting in front of our company? "
......

Perhaps he was also moved by Zhao Taiwu's friendly appearance.
One of the three men with a horse face took a deep breath, straightened his back, and bowed his head slightly to express his apology: "I'm sorry..."
Then he raised his head, looked at Zhao Taiwu and said: "Representative Nim, we don't want this to happen..."
"Well said, you don't want this, and I don't want to see you like this..."
Zhao Taiyu smiled and waved his hands, showing a magnanimous look: "Now it seems that we all want to solve the problem quickly, which is good!"
That being said...
He raised his eyebrows, put down his crossed legs, moved closer, and said in a gentle voice: "So, sir, let's get straight to the point, okay?"
"it is good!"
The horse-faced man nodded heavily: "It's like this, since you unilaterally terminated the contract with us..."
"and many more!"
Secretary Cui interrupted him before he could finish, and corrected him with a stern face: "Sir, we have explained the same problem to you many times...
It is not our company that signed the contract with you!
in other words...
We don't have any direct contractual relationship with each other!
so...
The issue of unilateral termination of the contract you just mentioned does not exist at all!"
I can hear...
His tone is very impatient!
Obviously, the two sides have communicated about this matter many times.
But when the horse-faced man heard this, he immediately became anxious, blushing and angrily scolded: "Secretary Cui, why are you so unreasonable?
If you ask me...
You are such a big company...
Is it necessary to play such nonsense word games with us coolies?"
"I told you..."
Secretary Cui wanted to refute with a cold face, but was interrupted by the horse-faced man: "We don't understand these things, and we don't want to hear you say these things!
We only know one thing...
Several of us have been working for your company all along!
It's fine that they're not letting us continue to work for no reason, but they're still refusing to pay us for months. How can you do things this way?"
The other two people who were protesting also glared at him!
"ah!"
Secretary Cui suddenly raised his voice and scolded: "Why are you so unreasonable? Didn't you hear me just..."
"Hey, Secretary Cui, calm down!"
Zhao Taiwu, who had been watching coldly, suddenly spoke up to stop him, reached out and patted him gently on the shoulder, signaling him to pay attention to the impact.
Then he turned his head and looked at the three people who were protesting. With a warm smile on his face, he pointed at the coffee in front of them and said with a smile: "Three of you, don't get too excited. Drink some coffee and relax. Since I'm here, there will always be a way to solve the problem. You can rest assured!"
however.
The three of them were in no mood to drink coffee at this moment. They all fixed their eyes on Zhao Taiwu.
but...
His words were indeed very beautiful...
The three people who were in a state of excitement calmed down a little, but there was still some anger and resentment in their eyes.
"Deputy, I can see that you are a reasonable person..."
The one who spoke was still the horse-faced man. It seemed that he was the most prestigious among the three.
He took a deep breath, his voice filled with both anger and pleading: "I can swear to God that we are not lying, we have really been working for your company, working hard without complaint...
But every time when the payment is due, your company withholds the money...
It dragged on for month after month...
Right now, we can barely make ends meet at home, and it seems like we can’t survive anymore…”
"I understand, I understand..."
Zhao Taiwu nodded gently, then leaned forward slightly and put his hand gently on the horse-faced man's shoulder. There was a little pity in his eyes, and he looked empathetic: "The current environment is indeed very bad, and it is normal for everyone to have difficulties...
But isn’t the most important thing between people to be considerate of each other?
What I have heard most since I was a child is...
Words like "Business is not going well this year", "This year is too difficult", "This year's losses are also serious", "We have to tighten our belts to make ends meet"...
Always listening, always listening..."
Speaking of which...
Zhao Taiwu looked around at everyone present, spread his hands, and said in a slightly "weird" way: "But can I not survive?
