Chapter 306: Auntie Asking for Wages
"Auntie, the owner of your Xingmang Hotel has run away. Why are you causing trouble here with the owner of our Futing Building?"
"Just listen to me and go home! It's no use complaining to our boss about this! She doesn't owe you any wages!"
Xiao Yang wanted to make a good impression in front of his new boss, so he quickly pulled the crying aunt aside and advised her to go home quickly!
However, this is indeed the case.
The property management of Futing Building is in the same situation as them. The owner of Xingmang Hotel also ran away after failing to pay the property management fees.
Therefore, these employees who are demanding their wages still have to seek help from official channels. It is useless to come to the property management office to make trouble every day.
"I work here, so naturally I have to come here to get my salary."
"I won't leave until you pay me!"
"Oh my God! How can we poor people live?"
Unexpectedly, the aunt didn't listen to Xiao Yang's advice at all.
She wiped away her tears, slapped her hands on her thighs, and cried miserably.
"Auntie! It's no fun if you do this!"
Xiao Yang's head was buzzing with fear because of the aunt's behavior, and he was not paying attention when the aunt broke free from him.
"You two, please help me! If we could still make ends meet, we wouldn't bother your property management."
The aunt ran to Jiang Duoduo and Zheng Jingsi, and suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud.
She felt that the two people who came today must be important people, otherwise the property manager here would not take them so seriously.
Maybe she could get back the six months' salary that was owed to her.
"Auntie, please get up first. We still don't know anything about the Starlight Hotel. If you have anything to say, please wait until you get up first."
Jiang Duoduo was startled by the aunt's sudden kneeling.
She really didn't know how to persuade this vulnerable group of people who would cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to commit suicide.
If you speak too harshly, you will hurt people's feelings; if you speak too softly, they won't understand at all.
"Why is this elder sister kneeling down to a little girl?"
"I heard the owner of the Xingmang Hotel ran away! He's owed a lot of wages! Tell me, isn't that unethical? He's been making a fuss for about a month now."
"Ah? Then who is this girl? Could she be a member of the boss's family who ran away?"
"I don't know! Anyway, the boss of this Xingmang is a piece of shit!"
As the old lady knelt down, many passersby gathered around to watch.
Everyone was pointing and talking at Jiang Duoduo.
Jiang Duoduo's brows were furrowed so tightly that they looked like twisted knots.
"Auntie, why don't you get up first and let's sit in the hotel lobby for a while."
"We just arrived and don't know the details of your situation."
"How about this, we hold a small meeting with the property management and relevant personnel first, and you relax, things will gradually get better."
Zheng Jingsi is more experienced in handling these emergencies than Jiang Duoduo.
As soon as he arrived, he calmed the aunt down, and then he and Xiao Yang helped her into the hotel.
No matter how this matter is resolved, people are not allowed to make a noise at the hotel entrance.
"Everyone, disperse! Stop gathering here and blocking the passage of pedestrians."
"It was the Xingmang boss who ran away due to debt. This matter has nothing to do with our Futing Building Property Management!"
After Zheng Jingsi calmed the aunt down, Kong Li quickly stepped forward and drove away the crowd.
"Mom, why are you here again? Didn't Gao Cheng tell you about your salary issue and he'll try to help you solve it?"
A woman in her thirties hurried into the hotel lobby from the gradually dispersing crowd of onlookers. The first thing she did when she came in was to pull her mother to apologize to Jiang Duoduo and the others.
"Hongmin, please stop comforting me. Gao Cheng hasn't even gotten his salary back yet, how can he help me solve this problem?"
The aunt's eyes turned red again as she spoke.
"Aunt Fang! You and Hongmin go back first. I'll talk to them here. I'll definitely find a way to get your salary back first."
At the hotel entrance, a man came in from outside. He walked directly to the mother and daughter who had just talked, and helped the woman named Hongmin persuade the aunt to leave first.
"Really? Gao Cheng, you used to be a big manager, you can't go back on your word!"
"Really, I will keep my word!"
Unexpectedly, Fang Cuixiang, the former employee of the Star Hotel who had just refused to leave, now followed her daughter back after hearing Gao Cheng's assurance.
"Are you Gao Cheng?"
After Fang Cuixiang and her daughter left, Zheng Jingsi felt that the man who came behind them looked a little familiar, so he went up and asked.
"You are……?"
The other party didn't seem to recognize Zheng Jingsi.
"I'm Zheng Jingsi! Qian Song, do you remember me?"
Zheng Jingsi reminded with a smile.
"Zheng...Zheng Jingsi? Is it really you? How many years has it been since we last met?"
Fang Cheng's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be instantly full of energy. He walked over with a smile and shook hands with Zheng Jingsi enthusiastically.
"What's going on with you?"
Zheng Jingsi was also very happy. He met Gao Cheng when he just graduated from campus and worked as a receptionist at Qiansong Hotel.
At that time, the two were young and had beautiful visions for the future.
Just two years later, Zheng Jingsi was promoted to foreman, and Gao Cheng resigned and returned to his hometown because his father had a leg injury and needed care.
Zheng Jingsi remembered that Gao Cheng’s hometown seemed to be in W City.
"It's mainly a problem with the Starlight Hotel. If you don't mind, I can go in and tell you about it in detail."
Although Zheng Jingsi really wanted to help his old colleague whom he hadn't seen for many years, he still had to listen to Jiang Duoduo's opinion.
"Who is this?"
Jiang Duoduo asked softly to Kong Li, who was standing aside with his head down and silent.
"He is Gao Cheng, the lobby manager of the Xingmang Hotel."
Kong Li approached Jiang Duoduo, raised his hand to cover his mouth and spoke secretly.
Kong Li used to have a very good impression of Gao Cheng. He was honest, capable, and always polite to the property management staff.
When the two meet in the hotel, they will greet each other warmly and chat for a few minutes.
But ever since the Star Mang boss ran away, Gao Cheng has been bringing these Star Mang employees to ask for their wages every now and then, which really annoys Kong Li.
If you want to ask for your salary, go find the boss of Xingmang! Why bother with us property managers?
"Gao Cheng, right?! We're going to have a small meeting to discuss some remaining issues at the Xingmang Hotel. Why don't you come join us?"
Jiang Duoduo said this somewhat out of consideration for Zheng Jingsi.
However, Gao Cheng is the lobby manager of the Xingmang Hotel. He should know more about this matter than Kong Li, so Jiang Duoduo thinks it’s okay to let him come.
"Can I...can I really come with you? Thank you! Thank you!"
Gao Cheng didn't expect that the big boss of Futing Building would agree to go to the meeting with him, but he thought this was probably to give face to Zheng Jingsi.
He knew at first glance that Zheng Jingsi had a complicated relationship with the female boss.
