Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 292: So Handsome

The cause of the incident is not complicated. As time goes by, Shuntian Express has gradually begun to make profits.

After the express delivery business became profitable, a group of porters and laborers began to complain. They felt that although the express delivery business started to make money, their monthly wages still did not increase. They couldn't help feeling that it was unfair, so they gathered a group of people at the Shuntian Express headquarters and begged Madam Wu to increase their salaries.

Otherwise they threatened to go on strike.

Shuntian Express has a day's backlog of express parcels that have not been sent out. If these porters continue to strike, it will seriously affect the delivery time of the parcels. The compensation alone is enough to make Shuntian Express worry.

Madam Wu went over to deal with the matter early this morning. She said all the nice things she could, but the other party still refused to give in and refused to work unless she was paid.

This is what happened. Zhu Houzhao was extremely angry when he heard it.

When I hired you, the express delivery company was still losing money, and you didn't reduce your salary by a penny. Now that the express delivery company has finally started to turn losses into profits, you are becoming more arrogant.

When you had no food to eat, it was my little brother who helped you. Not only are you ungrateful, but you are also acting like the farmer and the snake?
It's simply abominable!

Chen Ce was not as angry as one might imagine. He was actually not too worried about these things. He was thinking about who instigated this matter. It would be fine if the porters and laborers themselves were unbalanced, but was there someone behind the scenes directing them?

Chen Ce said to Liu Hong: "Let's go and take a look."

Not long after, Chen Ce arrived at the Shuntian Express headquarters. There were a lot of people gathered outside. Chen Ce glanced at them indifferently and estimated that there were about a hundred people.

Chen Ce appeared in front of the crowd with his hands behind his back, staring at them coldly, and said calmly: "Who wants a raise?"

One man said: "We all want a raise!"

“Why do you want a salary increase?”

The man said, "The express delivery business is getting better and better now. We have worked hard for the express delivery business for more than a year, and we have seen it improve step by step..."

Chen Ce pointed at him and said, "Open it for him, give him this month's salary, and notify all express delivery branches in the two capitals and thirteen provinces that no express delivery is allowed to employ this person again."

The man was stunned, obviously not expecting this result, and his eyes became a little nervous.

To be honest, the salary at Shuntian Express is not low. There is a base salary and commission, which is something that no other business has. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely earn more than in other industries.

There are also jobs of carrying bags and unloading goods at the Caoyun Wharf, but the income is definitely not as good as Shuntian Express, and it is more tiring.

How could he really want to go on strike? He just didn't expect his boss to be so decisive.

Chen Ce looked around at the porters and laborers around him and asked coldly, "Who else wants a raise?"

"say!"

Everyone fell silent and lowered their heads, not daring to look Chen Ce in the eye.

Chen Ce took a deep breath and said, "Ask yourself, am I paying you too little? I hate greedy people the most. As long as you are willing to work hard, I will give you commissions. The more goods you deliver, the more commissions you will get. I have never treated you unfairly."

"Many of you were refugees at the beginning, and I recruited you and gave you food to eat. There were also many tenant farmers whose farming was not enough to support their families, so I also accepted you."

"If you just ask now, I will immediately pay you and let you go, and my courier will never hire ungrateful people like you."

"It's hard to find a toad with three legs, but I can't find a person with two legs?"

"Any other questions? If not, go back and do what you need to do. I will pretend that what happened today never happened."

You should use different strategies to deal with different people. These common people were obviously being used. Chen Ce didn't bother with them, but he still had to make an example of them, so he fired one person first to shock the situation. After giving them a beating, he would talk to them about reason.

The crowd dispersed. The man who had just led the group looked around. All the people who had agreed to speak up for justice had disappeared without a trace. He stood there at a loss.

And then—plop!
He knelt down.

"Master!"

"I, I, someone instructed us to do this. I don't want to leave the express delivery business. I don't want a raise in monthly wages. Please let me continue to work."

He has a wife, children and parents to support at home. He was originally a refugee, but he worked diligently here and became a small leader. His monthly salary was much higher than that of ordinary porters. Now that he has lost this job, he has lost the income for the entire family.

Is it really worth it just for those five taels of silver?
Chen Ce ignored him and turned away.

"Boss, I know who it is. Please leave me alone and I will tell you."

Chen Ce looked back at him and said calmly: "I need you to tell me? I can't find it?"

The leading man cried bitterly and regretted his actions to the point of venom, but it was of no use. He stood there in confusion, slapping himself in the face repeatedly.

Chen Ce didn't care about him. He was an adult and should pay the price for his actions.

Madam Wu was still thinking of a solution in the duty room at Shuntian Express headquarters, fearing that things would get out of hand. When she saw Chen Ce, the anxiety on her face had not yet subsided.

Chen Ce smiled and said, "Don't worry, the matter has been handled."

what?
Madam Wu was shocked. So fast?
In fact, not only Madam Wu, but also Liu Hong and Zhu Houzhao were stunned when they saw Chen Ce's ability to handle the crisis.

Chen Ce smiled and said to Madam Wu: "It's okay. Next time you encounter a difficult problem that you can't handle, just come to me directly. Don't carry it by yourself. Got it?"

Madam Wu felt warm in her heart and nodded heavily!

Zhu Houzhao stood aside, staring at Chen Ce blankly. He is such a good man... If I were a woman, I would fall in love with him too... Oh my God, who can resist this?

Some people appear strong on the outside but are actually weak on the inside; some people appear sickly on the outside but are so strong on the inside that others cannot even come close!

For example, little brother!

Zhu Houzhao always thought that his younger brother was weak. This was the first time he saw his younger brother personally come forward to handle something. He was so domineering, so orderly, and he settled the chaos with just a few words!

So handsome!
Chen Ce asked Madam Wu to continue working with peace of mind and took Zhu Houzhao away from Shuntian Express.

On the way back, Li Zhen also came. Chen Ce said to Li Zhen: "Check and see who is inciting those people to cause trouble."

Although the Neichang had no power to interfere in the affairs of civil servants, it would not be a big problem to investigate. Chen Ce also wanted to know who had a grudge against him.

Obviously this was not directed at Shuntian Express. Chen Ce was more inclined to believe that the other party was targeting him.

Zhu Houzhao was inevitably a little angry and asked Chen Ce: "Little brother, do you think someone is messing with you?"

Chen Ce nodded: "Yeah."

Zhu Houzhao clenched his fist in indignation, "I think he is tired of living!"

Chen Ce said to Zhu Houzhao: "Okay, it has nothing to do with you. It's not a big deal. First find out who it is and why. No one would do such a boring thing for no reason."
