Chapter 283 Demanding Debts
When Liu Xin and Liu Xu Hui saw the security guards pushing the trash cans into the office again, they both jumped up in fear.
By this time, Liu Xin no longer dared to be defiant. Trembling with anger, she pointed at Chen Yang and cursed, "You useless piece of trash, just you wait! Fine, Liu Ran, our cooperation is completely ruined. I'm telling you, you're destined to be a nobody your whole life. Your company will go bankrupt soon, and it's all because of Chen Yang's uselessness."
Liu Xin cursed loudly and ran downstairs with Liu Xu Hui. She was truly terrified, afraid that the security guards would throw her into the trash can again. Those trash cans were filled with maggots!
Inside the office, Liu Ran, Su Ya, and Liu Xiao Mei watched the scene in astonishment. Then, Liu Ran turned to Chen Yang with a speechless expression.
She said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, it seems you've really angered Liu Xin this time. Will our company be finished now?"
Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "Finished? Not at all. I think the company can start developing its logistics system now."
"I was talking with Wu Feng this morning. Wu Feng said he can increase our company's parcel delivery efficiency by twenty percent. But Wu Feng has been in the express delivery industry for many years. He said it would be more efficient to build cargo warehouses for our Yang Yang Yang company nationwide."
"Although building this system will cost a lot of money, the cost savings each year after it's built will be a huge sum."
"It will take about five years to cover the cost of building the system, and he also said to have you all consider it carefully!"
Liu Ran looked at Chen Yang in surprise, "Did Wu Feng really say that? But his delivery point caught fire last night, which means other delivery services won't let him operate. If his delivery shops keep catching fire, then our company will be finished."
Chen Yang waved his hand, "Wu Feng is a dignified veteran, a former company commander. Can you not believe what he says? Don't worry!"
Liu Ran stood up, surprised, "Then... then where is Wu Feng now? I want to talk to him."
"If he can really support the express delivery as he said, then our Yang Yang Yang company can completely build a nationwide logistics warehousing system."
Su Ya also immediately said, "Really? Chen Yang, do you trust Wu Feng that much? Isn't he just full of hot air?"
Chen Yang waved his hand, "Absolutely not, you can all rest assured."
Just then, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from downstairs. Chen Yang and the other three quickly looked down.
At this moment, more than a thousand people had gathered below the Blue Sky Building.
These more than a thousand people were carrying banners and holding loudspeakers, surrounding Liu Xu Hui and Liu Xin.
Liu Ran was startled when she saw this, "What's going on? Are customers coming to cause trouble again? But why are these people surrounding Liu Xu Hui and Liu Xin? Are these two up to no good again?"
Chen Yang chuckled and waved his hand, "Don't you see the banners they're holding?"
Liu Ran looked closely at the banners. They read, "Return our hard-earned money, wages must be paid today. The delivery point hasn't paid wages for three months, the person in charge must settle today. If wages aren't paid, we'll strike," and so on.
Liu Ran's mouth fell open when she saw this, "These people seem to be delivery workers from the delivery point. They've come to demand their wages."
Chen Yang nodded, "It seems so. It looks like Liu Ran and Liu Xu Hui are having a tough time!"
Speaking of which, Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh. Liu Xiao Mei and Su Ya beside him also laughed proudly.
Liu Xiao Mei said indignantly, "They deserve it. They always come here with such punchable expressions. But what happened? Why are these people suddenly going on strike and demanding their wages?"
At this moment, Liu Xin and Liu Xu Hui downstairs were completely bewildered.
According to Master Ma San's instructions, they had taken over as the person in charge of the express delivery points in this area. Originally, they thought they would soar to success. Even if they didn't get forty percent of Liu Ran's company shares, they could still make a career out of this industry. Moreover, they could use this opportunity to blackmail Liu Ran's company and completely cripple Liu Ran's Yang Yang Yang company.
But they never expected so many problems to arise. The express delivery region had already owed three months of wages to the surrounding delivery workers. The angry workers surrounded Liu Xin and Liu Xu Hui, shouting incessantly.
Liu Xu Hui trembled with fear. Seeing her brother's uselessness, Liu Xin, full of frustration, snatched a loudspeaker from a man and shouted, "Quiet, quiet, everyone! What exactly is going on? Let's talk about it properly."
"You all know that my brother and I have only been in charge of this delivery point for less than five days. We don't understand your situation. You should find the previous person in charge or Master Ma San to settle the wages you're owed. What's the point of surrounding us now?"
At this moment, one of the workers angrily said to Liu Xin, "Nonsense! Of course, we're looking for you. Let me tell you, don't think we don't know. Master Ma San is already in jail, and all his assets have been frozen."
"You are the person in charge of express delivery, so of course, we're looking for you. If you don't pay us our wages today, we won't let you leave."
Liu Xin was startled when she heard that, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Master Ma San be arrested?"
The surrounding workers immediately cursed angrily, "Master Ma San should have been arrested long ago. Let me tell you, not only has Master Ma San been arrested, but he will soon be sentenced to death."
"If Master Ma San is arrested, then naturally we have to ask you for the money. Since you've become the person in charge of the delivery point, you must have already made arrangements for all previous matters."
"In short, if you don't pay us our wages today, we will absolutely not let you leave."
"We have a total of twelve hundred workers, each owed an average of two and a half months of wages. We've calculated it before, and it totals fourteen million three hundred thousand. We can't agree to even one cent less."
Liu Xu Hui and Liu Xin's hearts sank completely when they heard this. They knew that once Ma San Zhong was arrested, it meant that their position as the person in charge of this express delivery point was meaningless. Who would listen to them from now on?
The reason why the express delivery industry had followed their orders before was because of Ma San Zhong. Now that Ma San Zhong was dead and sentenced to death, the express delivery companies like SF Express, JD.com, YTO, STO, ZTO, and Yunda would each go their own way, and their position as person in charge would be nothing more than an empty title.
This was all bearable, but the critical point was that they had been in charge for five days and now had to pay over sixty million for this position.
With a "plop," Liu Xu Hui sat down on the ground and cried out in unwilling pain.
