Chapter 1501: Chapter 1502: They Live Such Difficult Lives!
“These lives, note them for now, but you can’t stay at Jing Mountain Quarry. The quarry must undergo a complete reform, and the first thing to ensure is production safety; absolutely no fatalities.”
Xiao Chen said coldly, “Get lost, go tell Luo Shanhu that Xinng Group has arrived. If he’s sensible, he’ll hand over control of the more than one hundred quarries in Stone City and repay the debt owed to Xinng Group.
Otherwise, I’ll make him understand the aning of regret.”
The armored car took Liu Dafa away.
After traveling so distance, Liu Dafa’s roaring voice was heard, “You’re finished, all of you are dood.”
Xiao Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile.
Just afraid you wouldn’t co.
He imdiately dialed Zhang Qi’s number, instructing all the Earth Fiend people to co to Jing Mountain Quarry.
Jing Mountain Quarry will be developed as a model.
The stone can still be mined because it’s allowed by the state.
But production must be safe, and the workers’ benefits must be improved. Currently, it’s pure exploitation, worse than Huang Shiren.
Quickly, the Earth Fiend people arrived, all seventy-two of them, now each capable of taking charge.
“Monk Zhang, listen carefully, first clear away this trash, and then Xinng Group will take over here.
Xinng Group will send people to innovate and upgrade, your task is to protect them and prevent anyone from causing trouble.”
Xiao Chen looked at the leader of Earth Fiend, Monk Zhang, and said.
Monk Zhang’s abilities were already on par with Tiangang, but since Tiangang didn’t step down, he couldn’t rise, so he could only be a captain of Earth Fiend for now.
He was proud nevertheless.
Becoming a mber of Earth Fiend ant being selected from tens of thousands and going through a series of rigorous training to co this far.
“Yes!”
Monk Zhang went to handle it imdiately.
The workers returned to their hos.
For a period, for safety and because of structural adjustnts and technological upgrades to the quarry, operations would be suspended.
Next, Xinng Group will sign new labor contracts with the quarry workers.
Both the benefits and wages will see significant improvents.
Of course, that’s for later.
After arranging matters at the quarry, Xiao Chen followed Liu Ganwei and Liu Haiying to visit the families of the deceased workers and the disabled workers.
Initially, he intended to have Jiang ng rest, but Jiang ng insisted on joining since she felt she was the chairman of Xinng Group.
Xiao Chen was helpless, had to let her follow. Luckily, they had a vehicle, so it wasn’t particularly tiring.
Everywhere they went, they could hear cries, cries of grievances being vented, cries of pain.
Jiang ng watched these people, clenched her teeth, vowing that in her Xinng Group, there would never be such occurrences.
Even if she earned less, she wanted these people, whose lives weren’t affluent, to live better and not let matters worsen.
“Chief Liu, how are you?”
In the armored car, soone asked worriedly.
At this mont, Liu Dafa’s face was ashen, akin to the White Impermanence.
“Are you blind? Hurry and get to a hospital, I’m in intense pain!”
Liu Dafa shouted.
But the shout triggered his wounds, and he let out a cry of agony like a slaughtered pig.
“Quick, get to the hospital!”
The people in the car dared not delay.
Liu Dafa’s condition was terrible, there was a real possibility he could lose his life anyti.
Almost at the sa ti.
Xiao Chen and the others arrived at Liu Ganwei’s ho.
Basically, the workers at Jing Mountain Quarry were from the sa village.
The village had eight small groups, quite a number of people, and apart from a few young people who went out to work elsewhere, the rest were employed at the quarry.
So the news spread quickly.
When they reached Liu Ganwei’s ho, the surrounding villagers gathered around.
Xiao Chen found it hard to imagine that in this era, there were still people living in adobe houses.
Though the house wasn’t small.
After all, it was a rural hostead.
But two of the rooms had already collapsed.
The remaining were just two adobe rooms habitable, the kitchen was makeshift with so felt, even tal roofing was unaffordable.
There were still three people at ho.
An elder, over sixty years old.
Since Liu Haiying was over forty.
The son, Liu Ganwei, was eighteen, just an adult.
Then there was Liu Haiying’s wife, a woman hard to find in modern society, who hadn’t thought of escaping even in such hardship.
She had complained, but after complaining, she was still diligently living life.
The farm work was mostly done by her alone, from dawn till dusk, perhaps due to overwork, her health was poor.
And a girl, about twenty years old, Liu Haiying’s daughter, Liu Ganwei’s sister.
The sister was a good student, already admitted to university, and thanks to a scholarship, her studies weren’t delayed.
Currently studying in the Capital City, she ca back because of a short holiday, wouldn’t stay for long.
“Wife, what are you standing for? Get the best tea we have and brew tea for the honorable guests.”
Liu Haiying said to his wife.
“You darned scoundrel, you finally know to co back? Where’s the money to buy tea?”
The wife, upon seeing Liu Haiying, was clearly very moved but couldn’t help scolding.
It seed she had suffered too much grievance.
“What do you know? These are esteed guests from Longcheng. By the way, here’s our pay, finally received.
It’s thanks to these two worthy guests that we got it back.”
Liu Haiying said excitedly, “Mine and Ganwei’s, a total of over seventy thousand.”
Upon seeing the money, the woman couldn’t help but cry.
She had indeed heard that the quarry workers seed trapped, unable to leave, and unpaid.
The village was talking about it.
She was indeed worried.
Now, it was fine, her husband and son returned, the money was retrieved, and the grievances seed worthwhile.
The woman knelt on the ground with a thud.
Which shocked Jiang ng, who hurried forward to help the woman up.
“Dirty!”
The woman hurriedly retreated.
Her eyes filled with inferiority.
Jiang ng wore such fine, clean clothes.
Even her skin was fair and flawless, like a fairy from a painting.
Whereas she was different, dark and thin, with calloused hands, and had just moved firewood.
Yet, her hand was held by Jiang ng.
“I don’t mind.”
Jiang ng said with tears, “If I had known you were living like this, I would have co early to the Western Territory.
Rest assured, in the future, Xinng Group will invest in Stone City. Such days, such houses won’t exist anymore.
In the future, this house will be rebuilt. I want every household in this village to live in brick houses.”
Listening to Jiang ng’s words, the woman’s eyes reddened.
In the past, others ca to the village.
Those people didn’t have Jiang ng’s aura, yet they kept people at a distance.
But Jiang ng was different; she wasn’t disdainful of her, not at all.
Her expression wasn’t feigned; she truly felt pain for them, truly wanted to help them.
