Chapter 132 Recruitment
He paused, then changed the subject: "But let me make this clear from the start: if anyone tries to avoid work just because they're related to us, that won't do. Everyone has seen what happened to my second aunt before."
“After the incident, my second aunt’s family moved away and cut off all contact, afraid of continuing to lose face. I don’t want something like that to happen again.”
A buzz of discussion immediately arose from the crowd.
“Jiang Yang, don’t worry, we all know what’s important. The wages you’ve given us are already more than enough, who would be greedy for such a small gain!” said an old man with gray hair.
"That's right, that's right, let's all work diligently." The others chimed in.
Jiang Yang nodded: "That's good. I'll let everyone know the details later."
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Jiang Yang turned around and went back into the house, letting out a long sigh of relief.
He rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
The recruitment process hasn't even started yet, and there are already so many problems.
If we actually start a factory in the future, who knows how many difficulties we will encounter.
"Dad, Mom, is this how you usually handle blind dates?" Jiang Yang asked with a wry smile.
Jiang Dashan laughed heartily: "This is considered good. In the beginning, some people even brought their oxen to me."
Lin Xiulan added with a smile, "Some people even come carrying loads of vegetables they've grown themselves, saying they're gifts for their future daughters-in-law."
Jiang Yang was stunned.
This spectacle was even more exaggerated than he had imagined.
No wonder Wang Fugui wanted to take away the screening rights from him; he's really good at taking kickbacks.
Wang Fugui was definitely thinking of making a quick buck from it.
If he were in charge of recruitment, who knows how many people with connections would be brought in, and how would the factory operate then?
Fortunately, he managed to prevent this from happening in advance.
Thinking of this, he secretly felt fortunate.
Meanwhile, contractor Brother Wang was at the construction site, directing the workers.
The foundation of the factory has been laid, and steel bars and cement have been delivered in one after another.
Every day, villagers pass by and stop to watch.
They looked at the gradually taking shape factory, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Jiang Yang also visits the construction site every day to inspect the progress and quality of the project.
However, a few days later, an accident occurred.
"Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang! Something terrible has happened! There's been an accident at the construction site!"
A villager ran into the Jiang family's courtyard, panting heavily, and shouted.
Jiang Yang was eating porridge with pickled vegetables when he heard this, and his expression changed.
"What happened? Tell me slowly." He put down his chopsticks and bowl, his tone urgent.
"Someone...someone is causing trouble at the construction site, and they've destroyed a lot of materials!" the villager said haltingly, his face full of anxiety.
Jiang Yang's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be his enemy?
"Come on, take me to see it!"
Without saying a word, he got up and walked out.
Upon arriving at the construction site, I saw a group of people arguing and shouting, with many broken bricks and pieces of wood scattered on the ground.
Jiang Yang was furious. He strode forward and shouted angrily, "Who are you? Who gave you permission to cause trouble here!"
The leader, a burly man with a face full of scars, sized him up with a sidelong glance and said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, isn't this Boss Jiang? We brothers didn't come here for anything else. Seeing that you, Boss Jiang, have opened a factory, we villagers from other villages also want Boss Jiang to give us some money to improve our lives."
Jiang Yang sneered: "So you're just a local scoundrel."
A villager leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Jiang Yang, this is a scoundrel from the next village, known as Wu Lao Er. He's a street thug who steals chickens and dogs and does all sorts of bad things. I reckon he's here to extort money this time."
After listening, Jiang Yang frowned slightly: "Where did he get so many people to help him, he's such a scoundrel?"
"Maybe some people thought they could make money here, so they came along," a villager guessed.
Jiang Yang understood.
It seems someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes.
As for who it is, it's hard to say right now.
He stepped forward, staring directly at Wu Lao Er, his tone icy: "Want money? Are you sure?"
As he spoke, he pulled out his mobile phone from his pocket and waved it in his hand.
"I'll call the police right now, and then they'll see how to handle this."
Wu Lao Er's face changed instantly.
He never dreamed that Jiang Yang would have a mobile phone!
His original intention was to take advantage of the time difference and extort money from Jiang Yang before the police arrived.
In this way, he could both complete the task assigned by Wang Fugui and earn some extra money for himself.
But now that the kid wants to call the police, things are getting complicated.
His eyes lit up, an idea came to him, and he immediately put on a pained expression, raising his voice eight octaves.
"Jiang Yang! You're successful and rich now, but you can't forget your roots! We're all from the same region, we're all fellow villagers. Even if you're eating meat, you have to leave some soup for your fellow villagers!"
"You're running a factory and making a lot of money now. Have you ever thought about how many poor relatives are still toiling in the fields, unable to even get a decent meal?"
Jiang Yang sneered and retorted without any politeness: "Who said we're relatives? We're not from the same village."
Wu Lao Er was momentarily speechless, but quickly recovered: "Fine! Jiang Yang, I understand what you mean! You only plan to have people from your village work in this factory, right? We outsiders are just supposed to watch you make money!"
"Fellow villagers, tell me, is this fair? Is this reasonable?!"
These words immediately stirred up the crowd that had been merely watching the spectacle.
Many people showed resentment on their faces, and the whispers grew louder and louder.
Jiang Yang sneered inwardly.
Wu Lao Er tried to sow discord between him and the villagers with just a few words.
What a lowlife street hustler.
His low-level tactics of inciting people are far too childish.
Jiang Yang hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice: "Fellow villagers! Don't panic! Listen to me!"
When Wu Lao Er saw this situation, he knew something was wrong.
His eyes widened, and he lunged at Jiang Yang, yelling, "Shut up! Don't say a word! Folks, don't listen to his nonsense!"
However, before he could even reach Jiang Yang, several strong young men surrounded him and pinned him to the ground.
"Ouch! Ouch! What are you doing? Let me go! Let me go!" Wu Lao Er struggled desperately.
These young men were not about to let him go.
Their village finally had a capable person who led everyone to prosperity, and this Wu Lao Er dared to cause trouble?
Isn't this cutting off everyone's source of income?
"Quiet down, all of you!" Jiang Yang roared in a powerful voice.
He glanced coldly at Wu Lao Er, who was pinned to the ground, and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, I know you all have questions in your hearts, and you all want to know whether my factory will hire people from other villages!"
