Chapter 116: Stop Pretending There were three workers in the entire plantation, plus Cheng Ming, a total of four people, all gathered in front of the coffee table in the warehouse drinking tea and chatting. "You just said you had something to talk to me about? What is it?" Cheng Ming asked. Chen Long and Chen Shi looked at each other, and Chen Long said, "Boss, Boss Lin's wages for us were a bit low before, less than 5,000 yuan a month. Now the workers on the farm are very hard-working, working under the sun in 30 or 40 degree weather. I think the wages should be raised a little." When Chen Long was speaking, Lao Zhang looked up and looked at him. Lao Zhang moved his lips and wanted to speak, but was immediately glared at by Chen Long, Chen Twelve and others, so Lao Zhang had to swallow his words. Cheng Ming didn't seem to notice their little trick, and just asked: "How much do you want to raise your salary?" When the two heard that the new boss did not refuse, they were suddenly a little excited. "I went to the market to ask, and found out that the workers in other farms, especially those in medicinal plantations, basically earn more than 8,000 yuan, and some even earn over 10,000 yuan! We only make less than 5,000 yuan, which is indeed far below the market price." Chen Shidao. As he spoke, he looked at Cheng Ming's reaction.

Seeing that Cheng Ming was just listening quietly and didn't raise any objections, they were both a little excited. Is it possible that the new boss would really agree to this? Although it was they who proposed the wages. But they are the type of people who don't care about anything, so even if the new boss really gives them a raise, they never thought they could get three or five thousand. Three to five hundred is good enough. Who would have thought that the new boss seemed really willing to offer so much? Old Zhang on the side was a little anxious at this moment. He didn't expect that Chen Long and Chen Shi, the two gangsters, would be so bold. The wages have doubled, why don’t you just go and rob them? The market price is not that high at all! All three looked at Cheng Ming. "It just so happens that I also want to talk to you about your wages and work content recently." Cheng Ming said, "Your wages are indeed a bit low." Upon hearing this, Chen Long and the other man showed joy on their faces. Cheng Ming continued: "You and Boss Lin were only temporary employees before, right?" All three nodded. "I plan to sign a formal contract with you in the future and buy social insurance, provident fund, and other benefits for you." The more Chen Long and Chen Shi listened, the brighter their eyes became. The new boss is really rich. So many benefits right away! "but." As Cheng Ming changed his tone, the emotions of several people were also pulled back. "The content of the work has also changed a bit. Previously, the three of you worked together, which was equivalent to eating from the same pot. This model is not good. I plan to let each of you be in charge of an area, and then you will be paid according to your work. The more you work, the more you will get."

"You are responsible for everything in this area, and your income will match your management results. The better the management, the higher your income will be. I guarantee that your income will be higher than before." Cheng Mingdao. Chen Long and Chen Shi suddenly woke up from their dream. "Boss, are you saying that the three of us will work separately from now on?" "That's right." Cheng Ming nodded. "This." The two seemed a little hesitant. "What's wrong? Is there any problem?" "Boss, can we not divide the areas and keep it the same as before?" Chen Shi suggested nervously. "reason?" "Well, well, we are all used to it. It is more efficient to work in the old way." Cheng Ming shook his head: "The original method is too general. We will divide it into regions and start tomorrow." This is considered a direct order. Chen Long and Chen Shi both looked unhappy. Originally three people worked together, but in fact the two of them were often lazy and sloppy in their movements. Sometimes they would go to the toilet to take a shit, smoke a cigarette, or drink a sip of water, and would be gone for half an hour or dozens of minutes. Go there several times a day. Sometimes they only actually work two or three hours a day. Most of the work was done by Lao Zhang alone. Now that the boss has given up on dividing the areas, won't this expose the true colors of these two people? Won’t they have no chance to be lazy in the future? So the two of them disagreed. But Cheng Ming didn't care about their opinions at all! The two looked at each other and saw the disappointment in each other's eyes. I originally thought I could get some benefits from the new boss, but I didn't expect the new boss to start reforms as soon as he took office. If they really follow Cheng Ming's approach, even if Cheng Ming doubles their salary, their income may still be less than before! How does this work? I was so happy for nothing! I thought I could get a bargain! Chen Long's eyes dodged: "Boss, do we have to divide it this way?" "That's right." "Then I might not do it." "It doesn't matter, you can come and go as you please." Chen Shi also said: "Then I won't do it either." "Okay."

Cheng Ming's expression didn't seem to show any surprise at all. "Since you are leaving, you should settle your wages, right?" Chen Long said. "Of course." Chen Long didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes flickered. "Uh" "The plantation didn't pay us for six months. Since you, the boss, have taken over the plantation, you should be the one to pay us the wages, don't you think?" Chen Long asked. Chen Shi was confused for a moment, then nodded excitedly: "Yes, that's right!" "Our six-month salary is 4,500 per month, a total of 27,000. Thank you, Boss Cheng." Cheng Ming was in no hurry to pay. Instead, he looked at Chen Long and Chen Shi with interest. Seeing that he didn't respond, Chen Long said, "Boss, you don't want to pay us, do you? This is our wages. If you don't pay me, I will sue you at the Labor Bureau!" "Yes! That's right!" Chen Shi turned into a tape recorder. Cheng Ming chuckled. These two brothers are blackmailing you? Do you really think Cheng Ming is easy to talk to? He was about to speak. On the contrary, Lao Zhang next to him finally couldn't help but said: "That's enough, you two! Boss Lin used to pay the workers on time every month and never owed them money. Don't try to blackmail Boss Cheng!" The honest man's outburst obviously caught Chen Long and Chen Shi off guard. When they saw that the truth was revealed, instead of being afraid, they stopped pretending. They first gave Lao Zhang a harsh look, and then looked at Cheng Ming. "Even if we don't owe you any money, if you just let us go, it's like firing us. You must pay us back!" "One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand for each person!" "Otherwise, forget it!" Chen Long shouted. He didn't know where he had learned some meager knowledge of labor law, but he was putting it into practice right now. "Yes, that's right!" Chen Shi continued to repeat. Cheng Ming doesn't like being threatened. Although he had heard from Boss Lin that the two Chen brothers had a bad reputation, if they wanted to leave normally, he might be able to give them n+1, or even n+2. Because this really counts as Cheng Ming dismissing them, so it is reasonable to give them some compensation. But they actually threatened him like this, and the nature of the situation changed. Cheng Ming didn't even want to pay this little bit of money.

He turned on the recording on his phone. "One hundred thousand? You are asking for too much!" Cheng Ming pretended to be angry. Chen Long chuckled: "You are so rich, one hundred thousand yuan should be nothing to you, right? As long as you pay each of us one hundred thousand, we will leave, how about that?" "What if I don't give it to you?" Cheng Ming pretended to hesitate. "No! Just wait and see! Your garden is so dry, if there's a sudden flood one day, I'm afraid the loss will be huge, right?" Long Chen's gangster nature was revealed, and his eyes showed ferocity. Cheng Ming's mouth corners raised. With the evidence in hand, the hesitation on his face disappeared instantly and he no longer pretended. "Now you have no money left, go away." Chen Long and the other man were furious. "You really won't give it to me?" "Can't you hear me? Get out!" "Okay, okay! You have guts!" Chen Long and the other man left angrily. Wait until they leave. Old Zhang at the side spoke with a bit of worry. "Boss Cheng, you shouldn't offend them too badly. Chen Long and Chen Shi are from a nearby village called Chenjia. They were idlers in the village and were considered hooligans. Later, Boss Lin opened this medicine garden here and they came here to live. If you anger them, they might really use some dirty tricks to deal with you." Cheng Ming smiled and shook his head: "It's okay." (End of this chapter)
