Chapter 349 Provincial Daily Reporter

After sending these migrant workers, Liu Siyu asked Shi Changqing to call the person in charge of Changlong Company and the person in charge of Pengcheng Construction Company, and asked the person in charge of the two companies to immediately rush to the Honghu District Management Committee Office to discuss the issue of the migrant workers' wages.

After a while, Shi Changqing came in and reported that the person in charge of these two companies had been on a business trip outside and could not be contacted. The left-behind personnel of these two companies were all people who were the masters.

When Liu Siyu heard this, he knew that the heads of these two companies had become big and hid aside. He felt anger rising in his heart. After Shi Changqing left, he picked up the phone and reported to Mayor Chen Yuanhua. Chen Yuanhua pondered for a while and said, "Siyu, this arrears of wages for migrant workers are now common across the country. However, you must think of a proper way and must solve this problem. I think this Honghu District is definitely not just Pengcheng Company owes wages for workers. You can first find out how to deal with this matter."

After Liu Siyu put down the phone, he asked Wang Zhiming to notify the leaders of the management committee to go to the conference room for a meeting. Seeing that everyone was here, Liu Siyu directly promoted the meeting. When the cadres of the management committee saw that Liu Siyu's face was not very good, they calmed down and waited for Liu Siyu to announce the matter.

"There are all people here, and now the meeting is started. Today, our management committee is being visited by migrant workers. I think everyone has heard of it. The reason is that Pengcheng Construction Engineering Company owes wages to migrant workers. These migrant workers cannot get their wages and cannot be paid for a moment, so they came to our management committee. However, this matter has sounded a wake-up call to us. The central government has raised the problem of wages to migrant workers in a very serious way. Our management committee must also pay great attention. We must not let the wages of migrant workers be owed.

, It was staged in our Honghu District." Liu Siyu said this firmly, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and continued: "Next, the focus of our management committee's work is to solve the problem of enterprises owing wages to migrant workers. The cadres of our management committee should be divided into several groups and go to various construction sites and enterprises to gain in-depth understanding of the situation of enterprises paying migrant workers' wages, and to find out how much wages have been owed in Honghu District, so as to provide a basis for the next solution of the management committee."

After Liu Siyu's speech, Su Yuanfang, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Management Committee, talked about the great significance of solving the wages of migrant workers from the perspective of maintaining social harmony and stability. He asked all cadres of the Management Committee to attach importance to the problem of migrant workers from a political perspective. Then, Deputy Director Shi Changqing announced a list of cadre groups on behalf of the Management Committee. He asked the cadres of each group to go deep into the construction site after the meeting to conduct investigations, and strive to clarify the payment of wages of migrant workers in Honghu District within three days.

Because Chen Yuanhua did not come back, Liu Siyu went to the municipal government and Xiang Yangyuan and the mayor reported to the management committee for resolving the petition of migrant workers. At the same time, the management committee immediately set up an investigation team to go deep into the construction site and various enterprises to conduct detailed investigations. Xiang Yangyuanhe also reported.

After listening to Liu Siyu's report, Yang Yuanhe praised the Management Committee for handling this matter in a timely manner and effective manner. He asked the Management Committee's work to be implemented to effectively solve the problem of migrant workers.

Finally, Yang Yuanhe told Liu Siyu that the reporter of the Provincial News may have to go to Honghu District to learn about the wages of migrant workers tomorrow, so that he must do a good job in reception and satisfy the reporter of the Provincial Newspaper. He must not let negative news be reported.

When Liu Siyu heard that the provincial newspaper reporter was coming, he was a little overwhelmed. This provincial newspaper is the most influential newspaper in the province. If the Honghu District incident is really reported, then Honghu District will become famous in the province. If it is a good report, it would be good. I am afraid that the negative news will be reported, and the consequences will be serious.

Back at the management committee, Liu Siyu called Zheng Yuling and several other deputy directors to inform them that the provincial newspaper reporters might be going to Honghu District for interview tomorrow. Then he asked Zheng Yuling to be responsible for receiving provincial newspaper reporters. He must not let news that is unfavorable to Honghu District and even Shannan City be reported.

Zheng Yuling happened to have a classmate who worked as a reporter in the provincial newspaper. After the meeting, Zheng Yuling immediately called her classmate. This classmate was her roommate in college and the two had a good relationship.

After the phone was connected, the two of them recounted for a while, and then Zheng Yuling asked about the provincial newspaper reporter's interview in Shannan City. The classmate said that the situation was not clear yet, and he would call her back after she asked clearly.

In less than half an hour, Zheng Yuling's classmate called back. She said on the phone: "Yuling, I have figured out the situation. It was Zhan Pingfeng, deputy director of the News Department, and reporter Ye Wei, who came down to interview. It is said that they came down to interview the construction engineering companies that owed wages to migrant workers."

"So that's how it is." Zheng Yuling took a breath of air conditioning, "How is your relationship with these two people?"

When he heard Zheng Yuling’s question, the classmate knew that the wages of migrant workers must have something to do with Zheng Yuling, so he said to the truth: “Yuling, Ye Wei, I have a good relationship with me. I can say hello to her, but Director Zhan is very principled and has a sense of justice.”

After hearing what the classmate said, Zheng Yuling asked about the appearance of the two and the car they were in, she reported to Liu Siyu. When Liu Siyu heard that Zheng Yuling had done a good job, she praised her. At the same time, she asked Zheng Yuling's people to arrive at the exit of the expressway tomorrow morning and wait for the exhibition director and her party. Of course, it was not to ask Zheng Yuling to take over the exhibition director and the others, but to let her know the whereabouts of the exhibition director and the party at any time.

Because a reporter came to Honghu District for an undercover investigation tomorrow, Liu Siyu asked the investigation team of the Management Committee to set off immediately and go to all construction sites in Honghu District to conduct investigations and surveys.

The reporter from the Provincial Daily arrived at noon the next day. Liu Siyu received a call from Zheng Yuling, asking Zheng Yuling's people to follow him from afar and not to disturb him. The reporter from the Provincial Daily would let them watch wherever they wanted to interview him. He would interview anyone who wanted to interview him. He did not know that there were reporters coming to interview him. He did whatever the departments should do.

However, the work efficiency of the management committee cadres is still very high. It took only more than a day to complete the survey of migrant workers' wages. Liu Siyu looked at the data summarized by Shi Changqing and frowned. Sure enough, Pengcheng Construction Engineering Company is not the only one in Honghu District that owes wages to migrant workers. There are eleven companies. Among them, the one with the most arrears is Pengcheng Construction Engineering Company. The total wage arrears reached more than 60% of the total wages paid. The other companies owed wages ranged from 20% to 50% respectively. The total wage arrears totaled nearly 20 million.

Such a large amount made Liu Siyu feel heavy, but the reasons why this company arrears wages are diverse. Some are because the developer has not paid off the project payments, while others are because the company has deducted workers' wages due to poor turnover.

Liu Siyu looked through it, looked at Shi Changqing and said, "Changqing, what do you think of this?"

"Director Liu, the amount of wages arrears is so huge. Our Management Committee just wants to pay them up, and it has great difficulties. Moreover, our Management Committee cannot easily pay the wages." Shi Changqing said after careful consideration.

"That's it." Liu Siyu was also very upset about this matter. Of course, the Management Committee forced the money to squeeze out the money and advance the wages of migrant workers. This was still possible, but the Management Committee was inappropriate and might set a bad precedent. However, the Management Committee did not take measures. If all these migrant workers were about to make trouble, the situation would be uncontrollable.

"I think the person who tied the bell needs to be untied, and this matter must be on these construction engineering companies and developers. Changqing, I think we will hold a symposium for all developers and construction companies in Honghu District tomorrow, so that everyone can speak freely at the meeting, and then work together to find a way to solve this matter." Liu Siyu thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." Shi Changqing immediately stood up and arranged the meeting.

After Zhan Pingfeng and Ye Wei entered Honghu District, they immediately went to the construction site for an interview. However, when these migrant workers heard about the salary interviews, many of them took the excuse to leave. When Zhan Pingfeng asked about the migrant workers' group visits to the Management Committee, many of the workers said they didn't know, and then went straight to work.

Zhan Pingfeng and Ye Wei did not expect that it would be a bit difficult to interview these migrant workers. After hitting the wall several times, they finally found Li Laosi and Guo Dada from Pengcheng Construction Engineering Company and learned about the petition of the Management Committee. When Li Laosi heard that the people in front of him were reporters, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Comrade reporter, we were actually confused that day and found the Management Committee. The cadres of the Management Committee warmly received us. After listening to our complaints, Director Liu of the Management Committee immediately stated that he would give us an answer within five days to solve the problem of the company's wage arrears. Director Liu is such a good leader. You must publicize him more."

When Zhan Pingfeng heard Li Laosi say this, he felt a little murmured in his heart, could these migrant workers be bribed by the people of the Management Committee? Otherwise, why would he keep praising the cadres of the Management Committee, especially the director named Liu Siyu, be praised by these people?

After the interview with migrant workers was fruitless, Zhan Pingfeng and Ye Wei walked directly to the office building of the Management Committee. Zheng Yuling received the report and immediately reported the situation to Liu Siyu. She also did the reception work downstairs.

Seeing Zhan Pingfeng and Ye Wei and the others coming over, Zheng Yuling pretended not to know each other and asked, "Do you have anything to help?"

Zhan Pingfeng saw a beautiful young woman greeting him enthusiastically, so he took out the press card from his pocket and said, "We are reporters from the provincial newspaper. I want to interview the leaders of your management committee and ask you for convenience."
