Chapter 303 The hardships of ordinary people
"Da Mu, how many times have you witnessed this situation?" The two chatted while walking.
Jing Mu, however, still looked at him and said, "Beichen, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. These things are not something that wage earners like us can get involved in."
When they arrived at the restaurant, Jing Mu brought two plastic stools and the two of them sat down at the door.
"They have been collaborating on this kind of thing for a long time. The development zone and the suppliers are already on the same page, and they work together. At first, they would wait until it gets dark before they dare to act. Now they are becoming more and more unscrupulous, and they dare to do it openly in broad daylight. transportation!"
"I heard that this was jointly developed by Ren Group and Tong Group, and it was supervised by the Federation of Trade Unions. How could this happen?"
Gu Beichen added: "Didn't anyone come forward to report it? There is also the issue of your food. I heard that food and accommodation are provided for free. Why is no one going to the canteen to eat?"
"Canteen?" Jing Mu pointed to the temporary canteen built with simple scaffolding not far away, and said with a bitter look on his face: "A bowl of braised pork costs fifteen here, but it costs fifty in the canteen. The price has tripled. Not only that, we are just a group of poor migrant workers, how can we afford it?”
"Fifty?" Gu Beichen couldn't sit still.
It was really unimaginable to him that these people would squeeze even the hard-earned money of migrant workers!
"It's very expensive, isn't it! In the canteen, even a bowl of rice costs three yuan, and the attitude of the staff is so bad that they simply ignore me."
Gu Beichen: "How much salary can we ordinary workers earn in a month?"
This is the people's livelihood issue that he really cares about.
Jing Mu sighed, "Workers like us are paid by the day, not by the month. As a contractor for piling wells like me, I can make more than 200 or 300 a day. An ordinary rough worker 200 per day, and 250 to 300 per day for skilled workers.”
"So low?"
But why are the reported wages of each worker over 10,000 yuan, some even 20,000 to 30,000 yuan?
His anger could no longer be contained, and he had never been so unstable. Beichen Group has always been a patriotic enterprise, and he has always followed the ancestral precepts of the Gu family and is a conscientious entrepreneur.
Even during the most difficult period of the epidemic in the past two years, Beichen Group has never treated its employees poorly, and will not lack any benefits that should be provided.
He never expected that someone would be so rampant in his territory.
Gu Beichen frowned and stopped asking about these things. Obviously, if he continued to ask, Jing Mu would still just advise him to mind his own business.
He changed the topic and asked: "Da Mu, if I read it correctly, you seem to be in trouble, right?" This was the second time he asked him.
This time, Jing Mu did not avoid it, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "If I said that I am a graduate student at Longcheng University of Political Science and Law, would you be surprised?"
Gu Beichen's eyes were as deep as the sea, without the slightest hint of surprise. He responded calmly: "I guess something must have happened in the middle, right?"
"Well, my mother is very ill and the surgery will cost a lot of money." Jing Mu's voice was trembling.
Gu Beichen listened quietly, his eyes full of sympathy.
Jing Mu continued to talk about family affairs: "Our family lives in a remote countryside, and my parents can only rely on farming and raising pigs to support the education of the three of us."
When he said this, tears flashed in his eyes, "Actually, I'm not bad. Even if I graduate from graduate school and have no connections, it will be difficult to find a decent job in society."
Gu Beichen was secretly surprised. Of course he knew the reputation of Longcheng University of Political Science and Law. This university has trained many well-known lawyers. Even Lao Qin, the chief legal officer of Beichen Group, graduated from there.
"So you dropped out of school to work on a construction site?" Although Gu Beichen expressed sympathy for his experience, he was still a little confused, "Can't you apply for a student loan?"
Jing Mu's eyes were full of confusion: "I have applied since the beginning of my freshman year, but I have not been given a clear answer so far, so I have a thorough understanding of this society. People who have no power, even if they are If you have talent, you will be buried. After all, the most important thing in this world is talent. ”
He couldn't help but sigh: "Compared with those with family backgrounds, how can I compete with them? Outsiders only see a few noble sons from poor families, but they don't know that it is already difficult to produce noble sons from poor families nowadays!"
He seems to have been polished off by this society and is no longer the high-spirited and handsome young man!
Being in your twenties is full of vicissitudes and emotions after the storm.
Gu Beichen took out his cell phone, raised his eyes and said, "Give me your phone number and I will contact you later."
"No need. When I say this, I don't want anyone's pity, nor do I expect anyone's help. People can only get out of trouble by relying on themselves."
Jing Mu only thought he was joking. How could a person who couldn't even pay for a meal help him?
He was like a mirror in his mind. His mother's surgery would cost at least 300,000, 300,000! For an ordinary peasant family, this is an astronomical figure, so how can it be obtained?
Just at this moment, large trucks drove out like a file and drove away with a rumble.
Gu Beichen was puzzled. It had been so long since dinner time and he still hadn't seen Gu Xingchen come out to eat. Could it be that he had gone to the cafeteria?
This is unlikely. Even in the cafeteria, he must not be used to it. After all, Han Xiaoman is also the boss of a jewelry company. How can Gu Xingchen have the opportunity to eat barbecue and hot pot at a roadside stall?
At this moment, Gu Xingchen was lying comfortably in the car.
Beside him, Ren Haoyu waited on him tremblingly.
It turned out that Ren Haoyu came to the construction site early in the morning, firstly for a formality and inspection, and secondly, to specifically ask his distant cousin to calm down in the near future.
Unexpectedly, when he got off the car, he was so shocked that he almost lost his mind. How could the second young master of the Gu family show up at the construction site? Could it be that he discovered some clues and came to inspect it personally?
After he lowered his profile and made insinuations, he finally figured out the situation. It turned out that Gu Xingchen came to join the Yang TV program team to shoot a documentary.
However, Gu Xingchen did not reveal to him that his brother was also here.
If the news about him hiding in the luxury car and lazing around came to his brother's ears, it would be over.
After the big truck drove away, Jing Mu stood up and said, "Let's go, let's continue working."
Gu Beichen felt a little regretful about how much social resources the country spent on cultivating such talents.
So he tried to persuade him: "If you can get into Longcheng University of Political Science and Law, you must be a person with excellent morals and academics. If you stay here all day long dealing with these steel bars and concrete, won't your talents be buried?"
He added: "Everyone will experience various setbacks and hardships in life. The difficult thing is to always maintain your original intention and not bury your value."
"Thank you. From what you said, it's not a bad idea to treat me to lunch."
But he obviously didn't take it seriously. He knew his situation best.
If there was anyone who was willing to help him, it was that angel-like girl.
She is so kind, so beautiful, like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
He is also the only person who has never disliked him.
However, he knew very well that the two of them were not from the same world at all.
It's been more than a year since I left college, and the poor excuse I gave at the time is still ridiculous when I think about it now.
How could someone like him deserve such a beautiful love?
Food and clothing can't be solved, let alone a luxury like love?
The reason why he chooses not to accept charity from others is because he wants to live a dignified and valuable life.
The temporary office of the Engineering Department was filled with smoke and a smoky atmosphere.
As the two passed by, they could still hear the men's rough laughter coming from inside.
Gu Beichen frowned slightly and stopped. It's not like he had not gone downstairs to inspect. It is absolutely impossible for a construction company under the Beichen Group to be so dishonest.
If I heard it right, they were smoking, drinking and playing cards inside.
This is a construction site! These people are supposed to supervise the work on site!
He is an important leader in ensuring safe production!
"Let's go, don't worry about it, you can't handle it!" Jing Mu grabbed his arm, fearing that this man who looked like a fool in his eyes would rush in at all costs.
Not only will he be beaten up and thrown out, he will also lose the job that he finally found.
"Okay." Gu Beichen said one word from between his teeth and left.
When they arrived at the well, this time Mr. Gu suggested that he go down to drive piles, while Jing Mu operated the winch to pull up the stones.
Under his careful guidance, Gu Beichen climbed down the ladder step by step.
Until he stepped on the muddy ground and looked up, this was the most real life of ordinary people.
There was a faint light shining at the mouth of the small well, reminding him that this is what the world looks like in the eyes of ordinary people.
