Chapter 38: Wei Kangan's troubles

Due to the urgency of time, Li Yi did not go home immediately. Although he missed his wife and daughter very much at this time, he had something important to do at the moment, so he could only suppress his longing and continue his fruit business.

After a short rest, Li Yi personally took a few boxes of apples, and then took Wei Sanpao to the meat processing plant.

It was already 5:30 in the afternoon when they arrived at the meat processing plant, just in time for the rush hour.

The whole factory was full of people inside and outside, and the bicycles blocked the entrance of the entire factory area tightly.

Li Yi's memory includes the big traffic jams in the capital city in his previous life and the huge traffic jams in the mountain city, but he has long forgotten the scene of bicycles in this era.

At first sight, it was full of memories!

After the crowd dispersed, Li Yi and Wei Sanpao and others rushed to the factory building!

Arriving at the factory building, Li Yi immediately said to Wei Sanpao: "Old Third, I will go and talk to Uncle Wei later. You are only responsible for moving the fruits in. Don't worry about the rest. Leave it all to me!"

"Do I need to go in then?"

"You don't need to go in. Uncle Wei is probably angry now!"

Wei Sanpao scratched his head and agreed after hearing what Li Yi said.

Indeed, if his father saw him, he would probably be furious. How could he sit there and talk about business calmly?

After settling down, the two of them each carried a box of apples and walked up to the office building.

Fortunately, Wei Kangan's office was on the fourth floor, which was not very high. If it was on the fifth floor like Liu Tongfu and his son, it would be a pitfall.

In fact, what Li Yi didn't know was that after Liu Tongfu was arrested, Wei Kangan intended to move his office to the fifth floor. After all, the fifth floor was better decorated and had a wider view. To be honest, he had coveted that office for a long time.

But unfortunately, because that office was involved in a series of cases such as Liu Tongfu hiding money, it was temporarily sealed by the public security organs. It will not be unsealed until the Liu Tongfu case is completely closed.

Therefore, Wei Kangan is still using his previous office.

At this time, in the director's office, Wei Kangan was worried.

He was worried about the issue of employee wages and mid-year welfare payment, which are the two major problems facing the meat processing plant at present.

The employee wages have been delayed for almost half a year. According to financial statistics, even if the wages of those cadres are not counted, the wages owed to employees alone exceed 600,000 yuan.

And the funds on the books of the meat processing plant are only 50,000 yuan, which is a drop in the bucket!

Before, the wages of the employees of the meat processing plant were directly allocated by the Provincial Finance Department. At its peak, the meat processing plant had more than 5,000 employees, and they could receive as much as 500,000 yuan in wages each month.

But now the finances of the entire Jiangnan Province are in a tight spot. Not only the meat processing plant, but also the cotton spinning plant, steel plant, fertilizer plant, agricultural machinery plant, supply and marketing cooperative and other enterprises need money, and the provincial department has no way.

In desperation, the workers' wages can only be delayed!

It's okay for a few days, but if it's delayed for more than half a year, no one can stand it, after all, everyone has to support their families.

Fortunately, although the meat processing plant has no money to pay wages, the factory provides meals, and people's hearts are stable.

But now that Liu Tongfu has become a big corrupt official, the employees in the factory are privately spreading rumors that the factory is now facing such a serious predicament because Liu Tongfu has embezzled everyone's hard-earned money, and they are asking the factory to give an explanation.

Wei Kangan knows that although Liu Tongfu is to blame for the current predicament of the meat processing plant, he can't be blamed entirely for this matter. After all, the overall situation of the country is like this, and Liu Tongfu does not have the ability to influence the overall situation of the country.

Liu Tongfu's mistake was that he did not lead the meat processing plant's workers and cadres to produce and save themselves in the current situation. He just laid off workers blindly, and directly reduced a large factory with 5,000 people to less than 600 people, which was a direct reduction of 90%.

He was more wrong in making false contracts and embezzling the money for purchasing equipment in the factory. As for the hard-earned money of the workers, he did not touch it. After all, the Provincial Finance Department did not transfer the money to the account of the meat processing plant at all.

As a new factory director, he had to not only burn three fires, but also show real political achievements, and then stabilize the situation and reassure people!

But it was really difficult for him to come up with 600,000 yuan at once!

In addition, what made him more difficult was the distribution of benefits for employees in the middle of the year. This was a routine of the meat processing plant. Every year from the end of June to the beginning of July, the factory would distribute a batch of benefits to employees and cadres.

This benefit was basically not money, but some daily necessities, mostly fruits, and occasionally rice, flour, grain and oil!

In previous years, things like this should have been prepared long ago. After all, there are 500 to 600 employees and retired cadres, which is a lot of people, so they must be prepared in advance.

In the past few years, this matter was handled by Liu Tongfu's relatives, who purchased the goods and then reimbursed the funds from the factory.

But now that Liu Tongfu has been arrested, no one has asked about this matter, and the matter has been delayed.

When Wei Kangan was worrying about what to buy, the door of the office was suddenly knocked.

"Come in!"

Wei Kangan put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at the door.

What he didn't expect was that the person who came was Li Yi!

Li Yi looked at Wei Kangan and said with a smile: "Uncle Wei, good afternoon!"

Wei Kangan also smiled and said: "It turns out to be Li Yi, I haven't seen you for a few days, come in and sit down!"

Wei Kangan had no prejudice against Li Yi. First, he watched Li Yi grow up and knew that although this kid was a bit of a jerk, he was not bad by nature.

Secondly, he had friends at the Public Security Bureau. After the human trafficker incident, he was not very reassured and asked someone to find out.

You would not know if you did not ask, but you were really shocked when you asked.

It turned out that Li Yi was the commander-in-chief of this matter. What he did not expect was that Li Yi and others were lucky. One of the children they rescued was a child of a big shot.

When the big shot came to the factory to meet his son, Wei Kangan accompanied him in person.

And he also heard that the big shot played a key role in his succession as the director of the meat processing factory.

It can be said that he was benefited by Li Yi!

Wei Kangan naturally would not be prejudiced against such a young man, not to mention that he did not dare to underestimate Li Yi.

Wei Kangan and Li Fengnian were good friends. Li Fengnian was reluctant to tell others some things, but he would not hide them from Wei Kangan.

A few days ago, Li Fengnian told him something. He was originally planning to bow to Liu Tongfu, and even planned to spend money to avoid disaster, but was stopped by his son Li Yi.

At that time, Li Yi said very firmly that he would handle this matter, and Liu Tongfu would not be able to jump for a few days.

Originally, Li Fengnian did not believe it, but Liu Tongfu was arrested within a few days, so Li Fengnian suspected that Liu Tongfu's arrest was related to his son.

But Li Fengnian still couldn't figure out how his son brought down Liu Tongfu.

Li Fengnian didn't understand, and Wei Kangan didn't understand either, but he knew that Li Yi was by no means as cynical as he seemed, nor was he dissolute and idle.
