Keqing came over and took the initiative to explain: "Your work will continue as usual, maintain the original arrangement... He will pay you the stipulated remuneration afterwards. If he is unwilling, I will make him willing."
Keqing’s words are very domineering.
"Thank you, Master Yuhengxing!"
After Keqing left, the workers began to cheer. After Jabu was taken away, they could continue working according to their original working hours.
Instead of being asked to work overtime.
After the Qianyan Army left, the other workers came over curiously and asked, "What did Lady Yuhengxing do just now? It seems she took your boss away?"
"We don't know either. Lady Keqing asked a few questions and then took the boss away."
Others became even more curious.
"What did your boss do before that?"
The worker thought for a moment and replied, "He made us work overtime... and didn't pay us more."
"Fuck! Just because he didn't pay overtime, Jabu was arrested! This... is really well done!"
"Wait, do you remember what happened yesterday?"
"what's up?"
"That's what Qin An said!"
Chapter 39 A bold idea!
"Oh yeah! What Qin An said yesterday about the Liyue Workers' Mutual Aid Association..."
"Is it that you are talking about our own workers' organization?"
"He said yesterday that if we were treated unfairly, we could unite and seek justice from the boss. Yesterday I thought Qin An was just bragging."
"He's usually so out of tune, so I don't believe it... So, this matter has something to do with Qin An?"
After a group of workers discussed, they finally reached a conclusion.
The reason why Jia Bu was arrested was because Qin An helped them get justice!
Among the dock bosses, Jabu is the most famous for exploiting workers' rest time.
It’s not like Jia Bu hasn’t done this kind of thing before, so why was Jia Bu arrested today when Qin An just came to promote it yesterday?
How could there be such a coincidence?!
In fact, it is indeed a coincidence.
Qin An didn't know that his good brother was Yuhengxing. Yesterday he just wanted to find something to hold against Jia Bu, and then use it as an opportunity to persuade Jia Bu to make concessions on the issue of workers' treatment.
Take the opportunity to promote the Liyue Workers Mutual Aid Association.
So as to tell others that he was not just talking but not doing anything, and that the Liyue Workers’ Mutual Aid could indeed provide them with shelter!
This is a big collective! If you join, you can avoid being exploited. Even if you encounter unfair treatment at work in the future, you can protect your rights through the Liyue Workers Mutual Aid Association!
Qin An’s idea is very good.
When he came back in the afternoon, he planned to find Jabu and use yesterday's incident as a handle for negotiation.
Last night was very dangerous, even the Abyss Mage showed up! There were also traces of the Fatui.
With this kind of thing happening to him, Jabu couldn’t run away even if he wanted to (indeed he didn’t run away, he was caught by Keqing directly).
As a businessman, he would definitely be very afraid of this kind of trouble. Qin An felt that as long as he raised this issue, Jia Bu would definitely make concessions on the workers' treatment and working hours.
Either stop meaningless overtime or pay overtime pay!
pick one of two!
This is also the purpose he found for the Liyue Workers Mutual Aid Association.
The appearance of Keqing was equivalent to helping Qin An by chance, and executing the plan to the most perfect degree.
What does it mean when Jiabu is caught by Lord Yuhengxing in the eyes of ordinary workers?
If Qin An hadn't joined in the fun yesterday, the workers would probably have had all kinds of speculations.
But Qin An just came to promote yesterday, and before leaving, he specifically asked what Jiabu was doing in private. As a result, Jiabu was arrested by the Liyue official the next day!
Could it be that Qin An had no contribution in this? Even if the workers were beaten to death, they would not believe it!
As a result, everyone was attracted by the topic of Liyue Workers Mutual Aid Association.
Workers from other areas also rushed over after hearing the noise.
"What are you discussing? Why was Boss Jabu captured by the Qianyan Army?"
Jabu was quite famous at the dock, especially since he had recently made a fortune from somewhere, which made many people very curious about him. After he was arrested, many people came to him to inquire about the news.
Then the workers who had just "figured out" the result said to the others: "It's Qin An!"
"Qin An? Does he have such great abilities? Doesn't he usually just idle around with that guy?"
The worker's answer immediately caused complaints from others.
"Yeah, Qin An was talking about setting up some kind of organization yesterday, and asked me if I wanted to join. I guess he has nothing to do again."
"It's really Qin An, you misunderstood Qin An!"
The workers under Jia Bu were somewhat agitated, and they tried their best to refute those who disagreed with Qin An's words.
Because in their opinion, they had just told Qin An about their troubles yesterday afternoon, and then the troubles were solved physically this morning!
How can a person who does good things without leaving a name allow others to slander his innocence for no reason?
So, everyone explained very seriously: "Qin An did not lie. The Liyue Workers Mutual Aid Association he founded is really helping us. Jia Bu was arrested because Qin An heard that he often made us work overtime without paying overtime."
In fact, Jabu was arrested for smuggling and associating with criminals.
However, no one at the scene knew about it, and the workers had their own subjective thoughts!
"Really?"
If only one or two people said this, others might not believe it, but if all the workers at the dock said so, then there was no doubt about it.
"Why would I lie to you? Qin An told me yesterday that as long as you join our Liyue Workers' Mutual Aid Association, we will all be a team in the future!"
“We workers have the power!”
"unity is strength!"
"Wait." Someone noticed something was wrong and asked the person who had just spoken, "Didn't you join yesterday? Didn't you say Qin An was making trouble?"
"What? Don't slander my innocence! I agreed with Qin An's idea yesterday! I have also seen through the current situation in Liyue!"
"what's the situation?"
When it came to this question, he was not so excited. Instead, he looked around and found that there were no merchants nearby. Then he whispered, "Squeeze!"
"Think about it, are the brothers under Jabu an isolated case? Doesn't your boss usually find reasons to make you do more work?"
These words really touched the hearts of the workers.
Although the salary at the dock is high, the work is also tiring!
There are many businessmen who will use various reasons to get their workers to do some work.
Because they know that if workers work overtime, they can earn more money, and they don't have to pay more labor remuneration.
This kind of good thing is definitely more the better.
"Yes! Yesterday I carried dozens of kilograms of goods, and the boss didn't say a word. Today I didn't do it and he scolded me instead!"
"...We can't stand it any longer! Let's just do as Qin An said?"
"I think it's okay. Actually, I didn't really want to refuse Qin An yesterday. I just thought that we are all ordinary people, how can we go against those businessmen? They are so rich, and some of them even constitute the management of Liyue... But it's different now! Qin An can deal with big bosses like Jiabu, and he will also help other workers who are treated unfairly!"
"That's right! Then I will join this organization too!"
"Okay! Not only will I join, I'll also ask my brother to come. My brother is also working at the dock next door."
"Your words remind me. My second uncle is also working here. I will talk to him and ask him to join the organization as well."
"…Can my brother join even if he doesn't work at the docks?"
Someone asked weakly.
Immediately, an enthusiastic person spoke up for Qin An: "I know Qin An, I can get along with him! He will really help if there is any problem!"
"He said that all the workers in Liyue are a collective! We are of the same class! No outsiders! Bring everyone in!"
"This way, if other brothers and sisters are treated unfairly, we can also provide help!"
"Put everyone's strength together into one rope!"
"it is good!"
"How about this, we take half a day off and help Qin An with the publicity?"
"I see that Qin An is the only one doing the publicity, so the effect is definitely not very good. Now let's unite and help promote it together! Let everyone in Liyue Port know about the existence of our Liyue Workers Mutual Aid Association! How do you think?"
"I'll ask for leave right now!"
“What if the boss doesn’t approve my leave?”
"The docks were under control this afternoon, so there is no extra work. Logically, we should take a break! This is our own holiday!"
"Right! Just like Qin An said, we should unite to safeguard our rights! We can't let businessmen trample on us at will!"
The others were also blushing and excited, and everyone was gritting their teeth with blood boiling.
All the unfair treatments I suffered in the past came to my mind.
They couldn't figure out a problem before.
Why would people who work hard and honestly be wrong? We usually complete our work seriously but still get bullied and exploited!
Now that we have found the organization, we must also safeguard our own rights.
"set off!"
"Set off!!!!!"
A deafening whistle was suddenly heard at the dock.
They are shouting together.
