Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 293 A Strike Is Not a Dinner Treat
Luke followed suit and nodded.

Chen Yan looked at Li Shoufang: "Do you think so too?"

Li Shoufang smiled: "We came out to beg for a living. We have no money, no power, and no skills. We can only work hard. It is not easy to get to this position. If we can raise our wages to 17 pence a day, We're content with that, there's nothing else to worry about."

He sighed again: "Besides, we know in our hearts that coolies are not irreplaceable... There are a lot of people without jobs outside..."

The other two nodded.

Chen Yan: "So? What are your plans?"

The Luke replied: "We originally wanted to have a good chat with the boss... In fact, the boss is also nice. He took us to a big restaurant in the upper city for a meal and spent a lot of money...

He told us that as long as we work hard, after he bought a new machine these days, we will earn more money together and start a company together in the future. Those of us who follow him are veterans! "

Goliath reminded: "Just don't talk about salary increase from beginning to end."

The Luke nodded and said, "We know he is a good man, but he never mentioned the salary increase...we will know what he means."

Chen Yan repeated again: "Speaking of the main point, what is your plan?"

The Luke took a deep breath, and whispered as if telling a secret: "We...are considering a strike."

Chen Yan stared into his eyes and said loudly: You might as well speak louder! ""

Li Shoufang saw Chen Yan's "inexplicable" mood, and hurriedly reconciled it:

"A strike is a big deal! If anyone hears about it, the end will be miserable!"

Looking at Chen Yan's shocked expression, he explained:
"We also made this decision out of desperation... In fact, such things happen in industrial areas."

"There is an oil plant next door to us. They had an accident before and many people died, so there was a riot.

Workers want compensation, raise wages, and add safety equipment to the factory, but how can the boss of the oil yard be willing?That's a lot of money! "

"So the boss found the leader first, promoted him, and asked him to manage a production line in the factory."

"When the workers found him the next day, he even told everyone not to be impulsive, but to speak up."

"The workers are rough people, and most of them have a bad temper. Who can speak well?"

"They didn't want to, and they struggled to find the boss directly, but when they got to the boss's office, they were stopped by a group of police officers with live ammunition."

Li Shoufang added in a low voice: "The oil plant has a good income, and their boss is one of the important taxpayers in the industrial zone, so he is protected."

The Luke nodded and continued: "Later... many people died."

Many people died.

Just five words, but it contained a bloody conflict that Chen Yan could imagine.

But instead of pity or loss, he said: "They are good."

The three of them were stunned at the same time when they heard his words.

Chen Yan frowned and asked in doubt: "Is there any problem?"

Li Shoufang smiled and said, "Your reaction is exactly the same as that of Father Andil."

Chen Yan's face froze.

Luke nodded and continued: "We want to strike, but we don't want to die... We still have wives and children... My child just started talking, and the moment he called me Dad, I thought to myself, I We must bring up this kid, no matter what... we must live on."

Li Shoufang rubbed his hands: "I also have a big family to support... We want to ask you to make suggestions and see if we can meet our demands without going on strike."

Only the Goliath smiled foolishly: "I'm fine, as long as I have wine to drink."

The Luke scolded him: "Ozzy, shut up the fuck."

Then he said to Chen Yan: "Our boss has seen the world and has a lot of eyes. We were able to bargain with the boss before because of Father Andil's advice. Otherwise, we would definitely not be able to compete with the boss."

"But he doesn't want to help us now... It can't be said that he doesn't want to, he seems to have something very troublesome, so he can't help us."

"He told us to come find you."

After Chen Yan listened, she rubbed her hands vigorously on her face.

"Struggling for interests, not treating guests to dinner."

He said.

"Strikes are inevitable and bloodshed is inevitable."

The three of them sank at the same time.

Chen Yan continued:
"Your goal should be the 8-hour work stipulated by the imperial law. If it exceeds 1 minute, it will be counted as overtime work, and there must be overtime pay."

"Injured during working hours, factory owners have to pay medical bills and, if the injury is serious, funeral expenses."

"Calculate wages according to the profits in your factory, no matter how outrageous the calculated wages are."

Luke's eyes were desperate: "Do you know what you are talking about! That is simply impossible!"

Chen Yan glanced at the three of them: "I know it's impossible."

The three were stunned at the same time.

Chen Yan continued: "But you must have a clear goal. Even if this goal cannot be achieved, there is still room for maneuver when making a compromise, so that you will not be at a disadvantage again when you negotiate after success."

There was disappointment in Luke's eyes: "Wait... how can you be sure that we will be able to strike successfully?"

Chen Yan was silent for a moment, then said: "Because you have me."

There was joy and helplessness in the eyes of the three of them.

I am delighted because the person mentioned by Father Andil is finally willing to help.

Helpless because why does this person only insist on going on strike?

Seeing that Luke was a little anxious, Li Shoufang immediately took up the conversation: "We will still work in the factory in the future. If we can not go on strike, we will try not to go on strike. If we get into trouble with the boss, what will we do in the future?" ?”

He glanced at Luke inadvertently, and then quickly turned back to Chen Yan: "Who dares to be that early bird?"

Chen Yan stared at Li Shoufang for a long while, and finally looked away until his whole body trembled.

"It's a good day, right?"

Faced with his sudden turning point, although the three felt that something was wrong, they still replied: "It's okay, but the money is too little and the pressure is too great. If this continues, I won't be able to bear it."

Chen Yan stood up, and the three of them also stood up following him in a daze.

"Then, when you feel that you can't stand it anymore... When you feel that you can't live anymore, come to me again."

The Luke man finally couldn't help being angry. He was already out of temper. Today, he took great effort to find this place, suppressing his temper and begging others.

"Humph!"

Luke snorted, gave Chen Yan a hard look, and walked out the door.

The Goliath followed behind him indifferently.

With an apologetic smile, Li Shoufang cupped his fists at Chen Yan, said "visit another day", and then went out with the other two.

Chen Yan didn't even want to look at their backs.

In the matter of strikes, those who are willing to compromise will not succeed in any case.
