92 Escape with the Bucket

Currently, Chu Feng’s actions and the time he appeared were different from the plot. Luo Chen had yet to figure out what was wrong.

However, this matter could be put aside for now.

After all, there was a high chance that Chu Feng was here to cooperate and not cause trouble.

Most importantly, where was Zhao Ruoshuang?

Ye Bei’s abilities were very reassuring, but sometimes, the protagonist was a little too upright. Luo Chen was very worried that he would do something unfavorable to the overall situation on impulse.

“What a pile of trouble.”

Luo Chen sighed helplessly.

No matter what, this matter had to be dealt with.

After hesitating for a long time, he prepared to go to the construction site first.

Although he was very anxious that something had happened to Zhao Ruoshuang, he could not delay the matter at the construction site.

Every day that they stopped working, they would have to pay a huge price. Even Luo Chen could not afford to delay it.

… .

At the construction site.

A few foreman and some auditors sat together, drinking beer and chatting, their faces filled with helplessness.

They didn’t want to live so leisurely. Unfortunately, there were no workers at the construction site, so they could not continue with the project.

Other than waiting, they had no other choice.

This was the scene Luo Chen saw when he arrived.

“Who’s the person in charge of your construction site?”

This time, Luo Chen came in a hurry and did not bring any bodyguards. He walked in alone.

“Who are you? Why are you looking for our person-in-charge?”

A fierce-looking foreman saw that Luo Chen looked very young and thought that he was here to cause trouble. He immediately said rudely.

“I’m looking for him for something. Ask him to come and see me.”

Luo Chen was not in a good mood either. He immediately said coldly.

“Hehe, why are you pretending with me? Our in-charge has long run away. If you can find him, tell him to come back and pay our salaries!”

The foreman sized up Luo Chen from head to toe. The more he looked at him, the more he disliked him.

“What? He didn’t pay you?”

These words stunned Luo Chen.

Because they had to rush the construction, the wages of the workers at the construction site were a little higher than other construction sites. Moreover, they were all paid daily. There was no such thing as arrears in salary.

“Of course. Otherwise, how could there be no one left? I’ve worked at construction sites for most of my life. This is the first time I’ve encountered such a person who ran away. The project deadline? Deadline my ass!”

The foreman said bluntly, his eyes rolling to the sky.

Through the conversation, the foreman had roughly guessed that Luo Chen was from the main company.

But so what? They were all working class people. Who would work if they don’t receive any pay?

So many of his workers had run away. It was also a huge loss for him!

“That’s impossible. The salary has long been approved. How can it not be distributed?”

Luo Chen vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this, and his tone immediately became serious.

“You’re asking me, but who should I ask? In any case, I didn’t receive a single cent. That person in charge saw that the situation was not right and ran away on the spot. I still wanted to look for him!”

The more the foreman spoke, the angrier he became. He kicked away the brick beside him.

Luo Chen fell silent.

No wonder those workers left so quickly. There was no room for negotiation.

So the source of everything had appeared here!

Actually, if one thought about it carefully, they would know that reputation was also very important for a construction site.

If they did not complete the job properly every time, there would be no more cooperation from other parties next time.

In the end, all the workers on his construction site left without a word. The only explanation was that they did not receive the remuneration they deserved.

“Can you still contact the person in charge?”

Although Luo Chen did not have much hope, he still asked.

“Do you think I would sit here with so many people and chat if I could still contact him?

From the looks of it, you should be from the main company, right? Hurry up and tell the management of your main company. I’m still willing to stay here because I signed the contract back then. Otherwise, I would have left with them long ago!”

With that, the foreman snorted coldly and turned around to walk back to his seat. He did not even want to look at Luo Chen.

“How could this be…”

Luo Chen gritted his teeth. He felt that this kind of thing should be specially targeted at him, including the person in charge. He should be an undercover agent planted by someone else.

There was indeed a plot about an accident at the construction site in the original novel, but it was written that the construction period was also delayed because of the broken capital chain and the flow of people.

From the looks of it, the large number of workers leaving should correspond to this plot.

After all, with Luo Chen’s current family background, it was not easy to break his capital chain.

Looking at the desolate construction site and the scattered equipment, Luo Chen felt terrible.

As the workers left in a hurry, the time-limited raw materials would probably all need to be scrapped. It was another huge expense.

The most important thing now was to find the person in charge of absconding with the money.

He wanted him to spit out everything he had eaten!

… .

In a remote hotel near the suburbs.

Lin Tian was standing in the luxurious presidential suite on the top floor of this hotel, looking at the scenery outside the window.

Behind him, a thin man with a sallow face who looked to be in his thirties was grimacing as he bandaged the wound on his arm.

“You did well this time. I want to see how that Luo Chen is going to make a comeback!

I just don’t know who secretly helped me and took all those workers away.

Now that Luo Chen has a bad reputation of not paying the workers, coupled with the fact that someone is recruiting workers at a higher price, I think there’s probably no one in the entire Jiang City who’s willing to take on his project.”

Lin Tianzhi smiled smugly, his eyes bursting with shocking fighting spirit!

He didn’t know why Ye Bei had stopped fighting recently and didn’t want to take revenge anymore. He even had faint signs of warming up to Luo Chen.

But it was impossible for him to watch Luo Chen live a prosperous life!

This was only the first step. From now on, he would take back what he had lost step by step and make sure that Luo Chen had no chance of making a comeback!

… .

Luo Chen, who had just left the construction site, suddenly sneezed loudly.

He rubbed his nose. He felt strange, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him from behind.

“Who’s scolding me behind my back again?”

Luo Chen muttered but did not take it to heart. He immediately drove back to the company.

He wanted to dig out all the information about that person-in-charge. Even if he had to dig three feet into the ground, he had to find him!

He would definitely not let the matter rest since they dared to take his money and escape!

Not only the person in charge, but also the mastermind behind the scenes could not be let off!
