Chapter 176: The Society Moves Out
The next afternoon.

Yang Xiao and his two companions arrived at the place agreed upon with Wang Juntao, then strolled slowly around the city for half a day, and finally arrived at the factory where Tan Bin was.

The result was not beyond Yang Xiao's expectations. It was indeed a workshop, mainly assembling electronic components.

Located next to a busy industrial park, it covers an area of ​​about a thousand square meters and is equipped with a thick awning.

The first thing that catches your eye is rows of neatly arranged machines and equipment. The roar of the machines, the numb expressions of the workers, and the sound of metal colliding are intertwined together, making it very noisy.

There are many such workshops, including sock factories, hardware factories, mold factories, etc.

This is also the reason why Yang Xiao and others were able to come in smoothly.

This small workshop doesn’t even have a security booth.

They wandered around inside for a long time but couldn't find Tan Bin.

Instead, I saw many young people around the same age as Tan Bin, working mechanically and numbly.

Yang Xiao took a camera and shot a video of them operating on the assembly line.

He pulled a middle-aged woman who was standing by the machine and asked:

"Sister, do you know Tan Bin? He's a young man of about fifteen or sixteen with a flat head."

The woman pointed to the model house at the back and answered mechanically, "Yes, it's in the model house at the back."

Several people walked in the direction the man pointed.

As soon as I walked to the door of the so-called model house, I heard a heated argument coming from inside.

"I told you that the money has to be kept for a while. It's useless for you to make a fuss.
Labor Bureau? If you go, you won't get any salary, believe it or not.
Is that your sister's tuition? Don't worry, Xiao Tan, I'm not not giving it to you. It's not time to pay the tuition yet...

Don't worry, next month the total is 500 yuan, and I will give you one yuan at a time. I will advance you yuan first, okay?"

Inside the model house, a middle-aged man with a face full of flesh was the owner. Tan Bin was standing in front of him, looking short and thin.

The boss then took out a wad of money from his pocket, pulled out five red suns and handed them to Tan Bin.

Tan Bin's face was filled with disappointment, he was almost crying.

He heard from other people that their boss was afraid that the people from the Labor Bureau would cause trouble for him.

He just tried to bring it up, but he didn't expect the other party to be not afraid at all. Instead, he told him to sue and even threatened that Tan Bin would not get all his salary, which made him dumbfounded!
He had heard of the three words "Labor Bureau".

But in his mind, he had no idea what the Labor Bureau did!

Seeing that this method didn't work, I had to give up.

After thinking about it, he decided to believe his boss and wait until next month. He had no choice but to accept the 500 yuan with a helpless look on his face.

"Hey, who are you? What are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Tan Bin raised his head and found Yang Xiao, Wang Juntao and others outside the door.

"Brother Tao? Brother Xiao? Why are you here?"

Yang Xiao stepped into the door and asked without answering the boss:
"Binzi, how long have you been working here? How much salary do you have left?"

Tan Bin hesitated for a few seconds and said slowly, "Four months...almost six thousand, and five hundred in advance every month."

"Six thousand? That's two thousand a month? Fuck! That's really shady!"

Yang Xiao turned and looked at Tan Bin's boss: "Boss, what's your name?"

"My surname is Huang, what's the purpose of this brother coming here?"

"What else can it mean? Of course, I want you, Boss Huang, to take the money. Hurry up!"

The boss's face trembled, and he sneered, "Who the hell are you? Where did you come from? Get out of here now! Otherwise I'll call someone, and you'll be in big trouble!"

Then, he yelled at the board room next to him: "Yu Biao, Zhao Erlong! Where the hell have you been? Get out now!"

Soon after he finished speaking, five or six tall and thin young men rushed out from the wooden house next door.

One by one, a group of people with naked upper bodies with dragon and tiger tattoos rushed out, each holding an iron rod in their hands, looking at them with unfriendly expressions.

Boss Huang's eyes were sinister at this time, and he sneered, "Damn it, you came here to cause trouble? Tan Bin, you called him, right?"

Wang Juntao, Zhou Hongyu, Li Yuanbao and others were not afraid when they saw that the other party had weapons and were protecting Yang Xiao.

Seeing that they had no weapons in their hands, Tan Bin was afraid that they would get into trouble, so he wanted to calm things down as soon as possible.

So he shook his head and said, "Forget it, Brother Xiao, Boss Huang promised to give me my salary next month, let's talk about it next month."

Yang Xiao looked at Tan Bin with a complicated expression.

He looked at Mr. Huang in front of him again.

Damn it, next month this Boss Huang will be a dead man lying on the ground.

You're fucking eating public food!
Let’s talk about it next fucking month?

He had understood what was going on before.

This Tan Bin asked for salary just to earn money for his sister's tuition?

This was something he didn't expect.

But since Boss Huang has called people, he won't hide it anymore.

"Okay, okay, let's call for help, right? These thugs of Boss Huang are really scary!"

Yang Xiao gave Li Yuanbao a look, and Li Yuanbao ran out of the workshop.

In less than two minutes, he turned back.

But at this moment, behind him, there was a huge group of people following.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that they were the Shamatte group led by Luo Fuxing.

There are as many as twenty or thirty of them!
Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Boss Huang has more people than me, so I'm not afraid of him!"

Boss Huang's face changed at this moment. He took a step back and was almost leaning against the board house.

It's really that Luo Fuxing and his group are too powerful.

They are obviously of average height, about 1.7 meters tall, with 20-centimeter-high hair, but they look a lot more imposing.

"Boss Huang, your mother's boss, still owes me a month's salary. When is he going to pay me?"

"Fuck! And mine too!"

Unexpectedly, there was someone in the Shamatte crowd who knew Boss Huang. They were immediately furious and started to denounce him.

For a while, there was constant shouting and cursing.

One of the wild shamatte with fan-like hair style, perhaps relying on the fact that there were many people at the moment, suddenly burst out the anger that had been accumulated in his heart. He took the opportunity to rush to Boss Huang, suddenly gave him a big slap in the face, and then kicked him. I don't know where this guy got the strength from, but he actually kicked Boss Huang, who was much stronger and fatter than him, to the ground.

Seeing this, several more people rushed out of the crowd and started beating and kicking Boss Huang.

Boss Huang's thugs were all stunned.

In fact, they are not thugs, but employees of their factory. They are just obedient lackeys who receive wages.

Now facing the group of thirteen or fourteen people, how dare they take action?

It’s obvious that these people are all young and inexperienced. Who is afraid of whom?
Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, Yang Xiao quickly asked Luo Fuxing for help and stopped the few people who wanted to continue fighting.

At this time, Boss Huang was wailing on the ground for a long time.

Finally, with the help of his two younger brothers, he recovered.

There were several shoe prints on his clothes and pants, blood was coming out of the corners of his mouth, and the corners of his eyes were swollen. He shouted, "Quick, call the police!"

At this time, Yang Xiao walked up to him with a smile.

"Go ahead, Mr. Huang. I'll just call the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. I see that your fire protection here doesn't seem to be up to standard, right?"

"Also, I'll call the mayor's hotline, and then call the Labor Bureau at 12333. The fine for a child laborer is yuan. Let me see how much you can fine me."

Yang Xiao smiled, took out the camera and waved it in front of him.

Then he took out his cell phone and pretended to make a call.

"Hey, wait a minute, little brother."

Boss Huang's face changed, and he endured the pain in his body and rushed to Yang Xiao and stopped Yang Xiao's hand that was holding the phone.

He squinted his swollen eye, looking very funny, and laughed dryly:

"We can discuss it. We can discuss it."

When Boss Huang heard Yang Xiao talk about child labor and fire protection, and even stated the amount of the fine clearly, he became really anxious.

It seems that Yang Xiao is different from Tan Bin. He is not an illiterate person like Tan Bin who has only heard of the word "Labor Law" but has no idea what it is specifically.

He really understands the law!

"Oh? What does Mr. Huang plan to discuss?"

"Little brother, asking for money is easy. Just call these people back first and don't affect my normal work."

Yang Xiao smiled faintly at this time and gave a subtle wink to Li Yuanbao in the crowd.

Li Yuanbao understood and stood up again, holding a wine bottle he had picked up from somewhere.

He pointed at Boss Huang fiercely and said in a crazy manner:
"Negotiation, what's the point of negotiating? If you don't give me your salary today, I'll kill you and I won't live either. It's just a matter of one life for another!"

"Brother, don't be impulsive. Pull him down quickly."

Yang Xiao and Zhou Hongyu hurried forward, and it seemed like they had to use all their strength to hold him back.

Boss Huang was so frightened that he took several steps back, staring intently at Zhou Hongyu who was speaking with great emotion.

He was thinking that the face of the little fat boy in front of him was a bit stiff.

Have you ever worked in his factory?

I have no impression of some of them.

However, I didn't expect that Li Yuanbao seemed to be so immersed in the role.

While he was shouting loudly that he wanted to trade with Boss Huang, Yang Xiao and he were pulling him, and he suddenly smashed the wine bottle at Boss Huang's feet.

The wine bottle hit Boss Huang's feet accurately, and glass shards flew all over the ground and splashed onto his trouser legs.

Li Yuanbao used to be a troublemaker in school who often got into fights and made trouble.

Otherwise, Yang Xiao would not have been the first to come forward to help when the problem occurred. At this moment, there was a fierce look on his face, which really scared Boss Huang again.

Yang Xiao kept talking about the Fire Department and the Labor Bureau, but he was actually not that afraid.

Because you can find ways to deal with these problems by using your connections.

Who would have thought that now a greenhorn would pop up and demand to be traded one for one with him, even at the cost of his own life.

As the saying goes, those who are bold are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives.

Boss Huang had such a tough attitude before, but now he was frightened by Li Yuanbao's crazy behavior. He admitted that he was scared!

In addition, the power brought by Yang Xiao, who led thirteen or fourteen people, was too great.

If a bunch of people really surrounded him and beat him to death, what would that be?

After thinking about it, he decided not to delve into it any further and just wanted to resolve Tan Bin's issue as soon as possible, so he said:
"Okay, okay, don't be impulsive, I'll pay you, I'll pay you!"

As he said this, he took out a stack of money from his bag and counted out six thousand to give to Tan Bin.

He went back into the house, took out a briefcase, and took out several thousand more dollars from it.

At this moment, Boss Huang just wanted to get rid of them quickly and settle the matter peacefully.

"Don't worry, Boss Huang. As long as you pay the wages, you are a good boss. Forget about the phone calls to the Labor Bureau and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau."

Seeing that the money had been obtained, Yang Xiao quickly asked everyone to leave.

There are so many people here, just like the fucking social groups in Hong Kong, it’s too conspicuous.

He was also afraid that if he stayed too long, something might happen.

In fact, Yang Xiao never thought of calling the Labor Bureau to report from the beginning to the end.

What he just said was just to scare Mr. Huang.

If this is really done, it would be tantamount to destroying everyone else's jobs.

What if it causes a major market rectification.

What about the other 15- and 16-year-olds? Isn't this forcing them to go to the end of their rope?

Yang Xiao currently has no ability or means to solve their livelihood problems.

Just like the Shamatte group.

They are just deformed products born out of the rapid development of the economy and society.

All these scars can only be healed by time.
