Chapter 1850: The Reason for Not Paying Wages
Lin Jinmei’s stern questioning made Boss Hu and the others feel very guilty. However, the other workers behind them seemed a little indignant.

One of the men, Zhu Zi, shouted angrily,” Boss Lin, we haven’t received our salary for three months! Shouldn’t we get our wages back?”

As soon as Zhu Zi said that, the others followed suit.” Boss Lin, we haven’t received any pay for the past three months!” When Lin Jinmei heard their words, she was slightly stunned and said in disbelief,” How is that possible? Didn’t I get people to distribute the wages and rewards on time? Why are you…”

As she spoke up to this point, she suddenly thought of something. Her expression became ruthless as her sharp gaze immediately shot towards Boss Hu and the others. She shouted sternly,

“Third Brother Hu, what’s going on? I clearly hand over the workers’ wages to you on time every month and let you pay them on time. Why haven’t they received their wages yet?”

Without waiting for Third Brother Hu to answer, Zhu Zi looked at Lin Jinmei and said with a serious expression,” Boss Lin, when we didn’t get the salary for the first month, Second Director Hu said that you didn’t give them the money. He said that you might have forgotten to give it to us. He went to ask you again and asked us to wait. Ever since we joined the Lin Group’s housing construction company, we’ve been working with Chief Hu and Director Hu. We’ve always believed in their words. He told us to wait, so we waited.

“However, we waited until the next month, but the money still didn’t reach us. We went to look for Manager Hu and Director Hu. However, Director Hu and the others replied to us. They said that you went out and wouldn’t be back for a while. The money wasn’t handed over to them either. Let’s wait a little longer.

“And so, we waited.

” However, we still didn’t get paid until last month.” At this point, Zhu Zi, a big man, shed tears and continued,” If it was any other time, I could rely on my previous salary to live, but unfortunately, this month, my child fell ill. His illness had almost emptied out his family, but his condition did not improve much. The doctor said that he had to continue to take medicine.

“I had no choice but to ask Manager Hu for my salary again, but it was Deputy Director Hu who told me that recently, the boss had been running around for the wedding of the princess of Guguo. You only wanted to raise gifts for the princess and please the princess. You had spent all the money… He said that you had used up all the money and had no money to pay us for the time being. Then,”

At this point, he looked around and felt a little confused and uneasy. He even felt afraid.

“Then what happened?” Lin Jinmei suppressed her anger and asked loudly.

Actually, she could guess what would happen after that.

Zhu Zi kowtowed and continued,” Then, Second Director Hu told us that there was a chance to ask for our wages. As long as we followed him, not only would we get our wages back, but we might even get some compensation. My child urgently needs money for medical treatment, so he… When he said that, I… I followed him here in a daze.”

Boss Hu was Chief Hu, and the other four brothers were the director or deputy directors.

Second Director Hu was naturally referring to Second Brother Hu.

Actually, when Zhu Zi followed them to the Crown Prince’s residence, he was already secretly regretting it.

Because they had never thought that they would actually follow them to the Crown Prince’s residence to ask for wages. What he did not expect was that they would ask for money directly from the Guguo Princess.

However, what shocked them even more was that their Lin family’s housing construction company actually belonged to the princess of Guguo.

Although they were just ordinary people, they knew very well that the princess of Guguo was a good person.

She was a kind and upright person. Moreover, the princess was very rich. It was impossible for her to owe the workers wages.

Besides, if she wanted the workers ‘wages, she would not only owe them 20 to 30 people. Three months’ wages added up to less than 300 taels. Was there a need to owe them? If she wanted to owe money, she should owe everyone. It was said that the total number of workers in the princess’s property had reached several thousand. Such wages added up to twenty to thirty thousand taels of silver. To ordinary people, it was an astronomical figure. However, to the Ni Lai Wo Wang Inn, which had a stable income source, it was only a day’s income.
