A Valiant Life

Chapter 784: Things got serious

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

At the main office of Mother Earth Real Estate Pte Ltd.

The person that Lin Fan just spoke to was a department head. He felt that this person was a busybody.

So what if he was Master Lin? He couldn’t just interfere with everything and think that everyone had to give him face.

He didn’t care about people like him who thought that they could do anything they wanted just because they had some authority.

He immediately called the customer service department.

“If there are such calls in the future, reject them immediately. Do not transfer it to me,” he scolded the person on the phone furiously.

He had to pick up every single call. He was just doing his job.

At the construction site.

Young Zhao had always been confident of his idol. However, he had just heard the call earlier. He didn’t want to make things difficult for his idol. He was already happy that his idol agreed to help him.

He felt that his idol was someone that was willing to help his fans and not belittle them.

“Master Lin, forget it. We’ll think of something. They might just give us our pay after the New Year.” Young Zhao tried to hint to Lin Fan to stop caring about this matter. Anyway, he was just trying his luck and he wasn’t confident about it.

“It’s okay. It’s just the beginning.” Lin Fan waved his hands. He was furious at how cocky that fella was. He insisted that he was right for not giving the workers their salaries. If he were to leave this matter alone, he wouldn’t have had any reason to remain in the society.

Zhao Zhou Yang thought about it for a moment, “Brother Lin, what should we do now? This situation is common. Everyone just pushes the blame around. I think this is a little complicated. Perhaps the manufacturing company really transferred the funds. They probably took some of the money. When it came to the construction company, the probably took some of it too. The money keeps decreasing with each transfer. Therefore... you should understand what I’m saying.”

“Although that might be the case, they have to pay these workers. They earn so much money and the workers are paid with a fixed rate. It’s their hard-earned money. Even if they wanted to take some money, they can’t just take it from these workers.” Lin Fan had his own way of thinking. Although what Zhao Zhong Yang said was reasonable, he couldn’t ignore the other possibilities.

Then, Lin Fan turned to look at the workers, “Let me ask you this: do you want to take money home for the New Year?”

“Yes.”

Their biggest dream was to get the money. They were really disappointed in the construction company. If they could, they wanted to just leave and not work there anymore.

“Alright. Let’s go to the Ministry of Manpower,” Lin Fan waved his hands and brought them out.

At the same time, he took out his phone. Some things had to be utilized when needed.

On Weibo.

Lin Fan: “Mother Earth Real Estate Pte Ltd is a reputable company. The workers at Chao Hai Road’s construction site told me that they haven’t been paid for the New Year. It is too much. After calling them, the head of the department had such a bad attitude. I can’t tolerate this, especially since one of my fans is involved in this. I have to help them get their money back.”

After posting that on Weibo, a lot of people started commenting on it.

“D*mn, this happens every year. I didn’t expect Master Lin to encounter it. I’ll support you.”

“The best way to handle this is to wreck havoc or commit suicide.”

“Master Lin, you have to understand their pains too. Sometimes, the real estate companies are really broke.”

“^ Are you kidding? So what if they’re broke? They can’t just not pay these workers. That would mean that these workers have worked for nothing. Why didn’t they pay them extra money when they earned big bucks?”

“That’s right. So what if they’re ‘broke’? If they dare to say that these workers shouldn’t ask for money this year and even ask them to sell their houses for a doubled pay, I’ll admit defeat.”

“What kind of f*cking houses can they build with ‘no money’?”

“That’s illogical. Mother Earth Real Estate is considered to be a large real estate developer. They are involved in a lot of famous houses. How can they be broke?”

On Weibo, Lin Fan was considered to be a famous Internet celebrity. A lot of Internet celebrities wanted to befriend Lin Fan and they started to re-post his post.

Some of the celebrities just did it because of another favor. Initially, this didn’t involve them at all. However, Master Lin wrecked Ying Jin and they were really grateful for that. Hence, they naturally re-posted the post to blow it up.

Zhao Zhong Yang had been observing Weibo and the post had reached 130,000 re-posts in a short period of time. Furthermore, a lot of famous Internet celebrities re-posted it. That was pretty scary.

“Brother Lin, are you trying to blow this matter up?” Zhao Zhong Yang asked.

Lin Fan replies, “I just want to blow things up. Although it may not be Mother Earth Real Estate’s fault, they’re the real estate developers. If they don’t manage it properly, they have to be responsible for it.”

Ding ding!

Then, Lin Fan’s phone rang.

The reporter said, “Master Lin, where are you guys heading to?”

Lin Fan replies, “We’re heading to the Ministry of Manpower.”

After hanging up, another phone call came.

All the calls were from reporters. When they saw the content posted on Weibo, they immediately contacted Master Lin as they knew that it was going to blow up.

Initially, they felt that this matter was just a minor one. However, Master Lin was involved in it. He was the creator of a lot of breaking news and they felt that this was going to be something epic.

At that moment, all the reporters from the major companies in Beijing rushed towards the Ministry of Manpower. They wanted to get the latest news as soon as possible.

At a certain newly constructed commercial property of Mother Earth Real Estate Corporation.

Several people were looking at houses.

The salesmen were really busy. Their commercial properties were extremely popular. When they started selling the houses, they had to serve a lot of customers every day.

“We’ll have this then,” said one of the townsfolk who picked a house. Then, he looked at his son, “I bought this for your wedding. You have to get married in six months.”

“Dad, don’t worry. Since there’s a house, I’ll definitely get married.”

The salesman felt really good. It looked like he was going to clinch another deal.

However, something shocking could be heard.

“Look at Weibo. Master Lin posted something about Mother Earth Real Estate Corporation refusing to pay their workers. Now, he’s brought the workers to demand for their salaries.”

“That can’t be. How can Mother Earth Real Estate be so incorrigible? The New Year is almost here and they’re refusing to pay at this moment?”

“They have such bad character.”

“I’m not buying any more. What is this? Master Lin is my idol. If I were to buy a house here, wouldn’t I be smacking Master Lin’s face?”

The salesman was stunned. Then, he tried to salvage the situation, “Everyone, our houses here are the best. They’ve almost sold out. If you don’t buy it today, you might not be able to get it in the future.”

“So what if they’re the best? I can get a house anywhere with money. I’m not going to trust your company with such poor attitude.”

“I’m not buying any more. I didn’t expect something like this to happen. In the past, I have always seen news about companies refusing to pay their workers. I didn’t expect Mother Earth Real Estate to do such a thing. How disappointing.”

The manager of the sales team rushed over to try to salvage the situation after hearing about it.

Initially, those townsfolk that were interested in buying houses. Now, they were beginning to lose their interest.

They felt that the company couldn’t have been that good for refusing to pay their workers. If they were to buy a house and something were to happen to their district management, they might not be able to resolve it in time.

The manager started to become anxious after seeing numerous townsfolk leaving.

Even until now, he didn’t know what had happened.
