Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 20
Chapter 22

It can be seen that Qi Tao cares about Liu Shuilai very much, otherwise he would not have pleaded with Meng Dazhi many times.At this time, Qin Haoran had identified the breakthrough of "Desheng" on these two people, so he asked: "I think you are very concerned about that Liu Donglai, is he your relative?"

Qi Tao smiled and shook his head: "Actually, Uncle Lai is my master." Seeing Qin Haoran's curious expression, he continued: "Second Young Master, to be honest, I am not actually from Hong Kong. I was originally from Fujian, and later I smuggled to Hong Kong with people from the village. Later, I worked as a porter here at the pier, but because I was weak and couldn’t get enough food, Uncle Lai introduced me to Desheng when he saw that I was pitiful. ' worked, and taught me to read and count."

Qin Haoran suddenly realized that Liu Shuilai had such a relationship with Qi Tao, and at the same time, he could see that Qi Tao had a good character and knew how to express gratitude.However, Qi Tao was able to make the account of "Desheng" so beautiful, but it turned out to be taught by Liu Shuilai, and it seems that Qi Tao is better than blue.

"Second Young Master, can I ask you something?" Qi Tao said suddenly.

Qin Haoran glanced at him: "What's the matter?"

I heard Qi Tao say: "Second son, can you plead with the manager to let Uncle Lai come back as 'Desheng'?"

Qin Haoran frowned after hearing this, not because Qi Tao wanted Liu Shuilai to come back to "desheng", but because Qi Tao thought that if Qin Haoran wanted Liu Shuilai to come back, he still had to plead with Meng Dazhi, that is to say, Qi Tao felt Meng Dazhi is the one who controls the power of "Desheng" personnel appointment.

Qi Tao didn't notice the anger in Qin Haoran's heart. Seeing that he didn't speak, he continued: "Second son, Uncle Lai has worked in the company for so many years and has made great contributions to the company's development. Besides, he has a family of eight, and he went to work in the company. Gao Tang has a wife and children, all of which need to be raised by him alone, if there is no job, their family will not be able to survive."

"Then tell me, has Liu Shuilai embezzled the company's funds?" Qin Haoran said indifferently.

Qi Tao's tone froze, his expression became hesitant, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Lai did embezzle the company's money without authorization, but that's the manager..."

But Qin Haoran raised his hand to stop his words: "Since Liu Shuilai broke the law first, the company has understood the righteousness without reporting to him. How could he put such a mouse into his rice jar?"

"But, Second Young Master..." Qi Tao wanted to say more.

Qin Haoran has already turned his chair to face him: "Okay, you go back first."

Seeing that Qin Haoran refused to agree to his request, Qi Tao was full of disappointment, and left after saying goodbye.

Qin Haoran was still holding the account book in his hand, looking at Qi Tao's signature on it, a smile slowly emerged from the corner of his mouth.

The employees living in the company’s dormitory are those who have no place to live or whose homes are far away. Although it’s a little crowded, it’s still more lively, and everyone eats together, as if living in a big family. .

Although the suite Qin Haoran lived in also had a kitchen, Qin Haoran chose to eat the "big pot meal" with the company's employees, because this would shorten the distance between him and everyone as quickly as possible.

Those small employees originally thought that Qin Haoran, as the son of the big boss, would not have a meal with them, but when Qin Haoran brought bags of roast goose and roast meat to their big dinner table, these employees They were both surprised and delighted.

Especially Gu Xiangling, she is not a rich lady, and she is not as snobbish and selfish as other servants and workers of the Qin family. Although those female staff are street women who are short of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, Gu Xiangling has no barriers with them. That understanding and caring personality quickly won everyone's love, and indirectly helped Qin Haoran get through the public relations work, making the employees get closer to Qin Haoran.

In Qin Haoran's "previous life", he had gotten along with people of all religions and ranks, and he had already mastered his skills in dealing with people. A few glasses of wine and a few words of thoughtful words made these simple and kind staff members open their hearts.

"Oh, Second Young Master, I said you are much better than that treacherous uncle, that old wolf, who knows how to eat people and drink blood." The person who spoke was the employee in charge of the warehouse, in his 40s, known as Lao Xie.And the "treacherous uncle" he said was Meng Dazhi, because Meng Dazhi often used himself as the boss's wife's distant cousin to domineering in the company.

Naturally, Meng Dazhi would not have dinner with these ordinary employees. According to these employees, Meng Dazhi often took his subordinates to spend time and wine. As for the suite Qin Haoran lives in now, Meng Dazhi used to take a nap before, and occasionally He will take some women back to spend the night. He still has two bungalows outside, and he does not live on the company side.

Lao Xie doesn't drink well, but he loves wine. After two glasses, he put his cheeks on Qin Haoran's shoulders with a hiccup and said, "Second young master, let me tell you, that treacherous uncle is really a vampire." Ah, it’s fine if we are always asked to work overtime, and we are not allowed to pay overtime pay, how can there be such a boss.”

Someone next to him was already trying to persuade Lao Xie to say a few words, but Qin Haoran took the opportunity to ask: "What? Manager Meng doesn't pay you overtime pay? But I look at the company's account books, there is an item of overtime pay, or It's not a small expense. Didn't Manager Meng put the overtime pay into other benefits or allowances, don't you know?"

Someone immediately complained: "Second young master, we didn't lie, and we didn't wrong the country... Manager Meng. Does the company have any benefits or allowances? We only get the basic salary of more than 300 yuan every month. They often default on their arrears. Those with a lonely family are better, after all, the whole family is not hungry when one person is full, and those who drag their families along are not good, because the family is often not full."

Regarding this situation, Qin Haoran actually guessed [-]% to [-]% when he looked at the account books before, and now the indignation of these employees only confirmed Qin Haoran's guess.

The account book lists a lot of employee benefits and allowances, such as overtime pay, housing allowances, transportation benefits, etc. The treatment is simply better than that of civil servants in the 21st century, and the basic salary plus all kinds of welfare subsidies, The minimum monthly salary of employees recorded in the "Desheng" account book is more than [-] yuan.

In other words, Meng Dazhi corrupted money equivalent to the employees' real wages just by falsely increasing the wages in his account.

And when the employees complained to Qin Haoran, Qi Tao, who also ate with everyone, seemed very unnatural, because the data on the account books were actually from him, so he could be regarded as Meng Dazhi's accomplice .

No, a female employee in her 30s glanced at Qi Tao who was sitting over there, and said mockingly: "Oh, our lives are miserable, and those who work with their heels on the back of their heads every day only get more than 300 yuan." They often don’t get the full amount. Unlike some people, the red envelopes that the treacherous uncle gives him are thousands of dollars every month, hehe, it’s really different.”

Under the cynicism of the female employee, everyone's eyes were on Qi Tao at the same time. Qi Tao's face was flushed, and he just lowered his head to eat without refuting a word.

A male staff member on the opposite side smiled at him and said, "Brother Tao, why didn't the treacherous uncle take you to the Peninsula Hotel for dinner today? Oh, I've really wronged you for having dinner with us low-level employees."

Seeing Qi Tao being the target of everyone's attacks, Qin Haoran didn't speak for him, but just watched with cold eyes.

Sure enough, under the fiery eyes of everyone, Qi Tao couldn't eat anymore, and said in a low voice, "I'm full", and hurried away.

"Hmph! It's just a traitorous uncle's dog, but he still pretends to be kind and honest. It's really disgusting." An employee sneered.

Qin Haoran spoke at this time: "I'm really sorry, everyone, I didn't know that the company owed you so much money beforehand, but you can rest assured, I guarantee that in the future, not only will you get the full basic salary, but also those on the account I will distribute the recorded benefits and subsidies to everyone one by one."

"Second Young Master, are you telling the truth?" Everyone was tempted by Qin Haoran's temptation.

"Now that I am the general manager of the company, I can naturally make the decision, so you can rest assured."

"Okay! Long live the second young master!" The employees cheered.

It's just that Qin Haoran saw that there were quite a few people inside who had a wait-and-see attitude. After all, they weren't three-year-olds anymore, so they weren't so easy to be fooled by a lure* that was groundless.But Qin Haoran is not worried, because he knows that when he actually sends the money to them, they will completely lean towards him.

After a dinner, the employees got closer to Qin Haoran, and told Qin Haoran about "Desheng" and the industry, which made Qin Haoran understand "Desheng" better.

The goods of "Desheng" are mainly shipped by sea. The process is basically to contact the suppliers first, and then transport the goods from other places to Hong Kong through the shipping company, and then distribute the goods to local buyers. home, so this trading business is actually an intermediary, earning a living by earning the price difference of the goods.

The grain and oil trade done by "Desheng" mainly purchases goods from Southeast Asian countries and sells them to local people. What supports the trade business of "Desheng" is actually a fairly solid supply and marketing network. , but also pay attention to interpersonal relationships.

After dinner, Qin Haoran didn't want to go back to rest right away, so he took Gu Xiangling for a walk around here.

This area is close to the wharf. Apart from import and export companies like "Desheng" or cargo warehouses, there is a residential area behind it, but it is lived by Shengdou citizens who make a living in this area, and it is very lively.

But when Qin Haoran and Gu Xiangling passed by a food stall in this residential area, they unexpectedly saw two people whom Qin Haoran attached great importance to—Qi Tao and Liu Shuilai.
