Chapter 404 Cash Scattered on the Spot, Henchmen All Turn Against Him
Facing thousands of fiery eyes and a "forest" made of shovels.
Liu Dajin and his gang of thugs, who were usually arrogant and domineering, were completely cowed.
That anger, a collective outpouring of ordinary people, was something that cowardly bullies like them simply couldn't withstand.
"Don't...don't be impulsive! Folks! Let's talk this out!"
Liu Dajin's fleshy face trembled incessantly, his voice changed tone, and he waved his hands repeatedly, backing away step by step.
His henchmen were terrified; the steel pipes in their hands clattered to the ground, their faces as white as paper.
They retreated step by step until their backs were pressed tightly against the cold body of the Land Rover, with nowhere left to go.
At this moment, Jiang Chen slowly walked out from the crowd.
He didn't look at Liu Dajin, but instead picked up a megaphone that Wang Dagou handed him and faced all the villagers.
He cleared his throat, and his loud and sincere voice echoed throughout the construction site.
"Fellow villagers, I know that it's not easy for any of us to come out and earn money."
"Some people do it to pay for their children's tuition."
"Some people do it to buy medicine for sick elderly people."
"Some people want to earn more money to repair the leaky roof of their house so that their family can have a warm winter."
Jiang Chen didn't preach any grand principles.
Every word he said seemed to come straight from the hearts of everyone present.
Simple, down-to-earth, and full of the warmth of everyday life.
Many elderly farmers who stayed behind in the village had tears welling up in their eyes as they listened, and they quietly wiped away their tears with the backs of their rough hands.
Jiang Chen paused, then changed the subject, pointing at Liu Dajin, whose face was deathly pale.
"I'm paying everyone 800 yuan a day so that everyone can earn money honestly through their own hard work and live a good life!"
"But some people can't stand to see us poor people doing well!"
"He made his fortune by defaulting on wages and exploiting workers, and he wants everyone to do the same, treating us like cattle and horses!"
"He came here today to ruin our livelihoods because he doesn't want our children to have access to education, and he doesn't want our elderly to have the money for medical treatment when they are sick!"
"Fellow villagers, tell me, can we stand by and watch this kind of person?!"
"No way!!!"
"Kill him!!"
"Get out of Qingshui Town!!!"
The crowd was outraged, and the villagers' anger was completely ignited.
What Jiang Chen wanted was not just to intimidate, but to crush the last shred of dignity of his opponent in the most direct way.
He gestured towards the distance.
A black heavy-duty armored vehicle with the words "Huaxia Security" printed on its side slowly drove into the construction site.
The car door opened.
Several fully armed security personnel carried down several huge black briefcases.
In front of everyone.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
After a few crisp sounds, all the boxes were opened.
In an instant, the red light stung the eyes of everyone present.
Those boxes were filled to the brim with brand new red banknotes, each sealed with a bank seal!
Millions of dollars in cash were thus exposed to the sunlight without any concealment.
That visual impact is far more direct and shocking than any luxury car or gold chain!
The villagers were all dumbfounded, gasping in astonishment.
Jiang Chen picked up the megaphone, and his voice rang out again, filled with undeniable power.
"Fellow villagers! I, Jiang Chen, am making this clear today!"
"As long as everyone works hard under my guidance, I will never owe anyone a single penny!"
"Starting today, you can collect your money right here after get off work every day!"
"So that everyone can take their freshly earned money home and buy meat for their wives and children!"
"good!!!"
"Brother Chen is awesome!!!"
At that moment, the deafening cheers almost shook the entire valley.
With the combined support of real money and sincere sincerity, Jiang Chen's prestige among the local people instantly soared to an unprecedented peak.
At this moment, the most embarrassed and ashamed people were the excavator drivers that Liu Dajin had brought.
They worked for Liu Dajin for more than half a year, and not only were most of their wages withheld, but they were also scolded every day, and the food they ate was worse than pig swill.
Looking at the mountain of cash in front of him, and then at the respect and consideration Jiang Chen showed to his workers.
The drivers exchanged glances, all seeing the same thought in each other's eyes.
One of the boldest drivers gritted his teeth and made a decision that surprised everyone.
He immediately turned off the excavator's engine and then jumped down from the nearly three-meter-high cab with a "whoosh".
He jogged through the crowd and ran straight to Jiang Chen.
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, he bowed deeply to Jiang Chen.
"Boss Jiang... Boss Jiang!"
His face flushed red, and he said somewhat nervously.
"We...we're locals too, and we have elderly parents and young children to support!"
"We haven't received our full salary in six months since we started working for Liu Dajin!"
"I can operate an excavator too, and I'm quite strong! How about we line up for work here tomorrow?"
Once there's a first one, there's a second, and a third.
The remaining excavator drivers also turned off their engines, jumped out of their vehicles, and ran over to Jiang Chen, looking at him expectantly.
They defected on the spot!
This slap was ten thousand times louder than if it had hit Liu Dajin directly in the face!
Liu Dajin was so angry that he trembled and his face turned ashen as the driver he had hired had become someone else's subordinate.
He became the biggest joke of the whole event!
"Fine! Fine! You all just wait!"
Liu Dajin pointed at the drivers who had defected, then at Jiang Chen, uttering meaningless threats.
He couldn't stay there any longer.
Amidst the scorn and ridicule of thousands of people, this once arrogant coal boss, like a stray dog, scrambled into his Land Rover and fled the scene in a pathetic roar.
