Chapter 209: Domineering and Mighty!

Translator: Lonelytree

When Gu Qingjiao heard these people’s words, she was stunned, and her vision turned black.

When she came to her senses, her anger rose from the bottom of her heart. She gritted her teeth and cursed at Xiao Lingye, “You country bumpkin, you’re really cunning!”

However, her face suddenly turned into a cold smile as she said disdainfully, “So what if you have testimonies that Xiao Xinxin is my employee? Without something tangible on paper, what can you do to me? If you want to sue me, go ahead! Do you think I’m afraid of you? Let me tell you, I have friends in the Commerce Bureau and Labor Bureau. We’ll see how you can touch me!”

She was complacent. She couldn’t wait for everyone to know that she was powerful and nothing could harm her.

“This woman is ridiculous.”

“So what if she has connections in these two bureaus? Does she think she can do anything she wants?”

“That’s right. She’s acting like she owns not only this supermarket but also the two bureaus!”

Gu Qingjiao’s face couldn’t be any darker as she listened to the discussions of the crowd.

She took two steps forward and said fiercely to these passers-by, “What are you looking at? This has nothing to do with you. Get lost!”

An old master pointed at Gu Qingjiao and shouted angrily, “We can’t stand idle, seeing you oppress and humiliate your employees like this. You don’t treat your employees as human beings. Today, I’m going to poke my nose into your business. Why don’t you ask your people from the underworld to teach me a lesson then?”

Gu Qingjiao was furious and scolded the old master, “Old man, don’t push your luck. Do you really think I won’t dare to do anything to you? If you anger me, I’ll get my people to send you into a coffin!”

“I’ve lived for so long, but I’ve never seen someone as black-hearted, arrogant, and unreasonable as you. You dare to threaten people in public.” The old master stood proud. “Fine, I’ll wait here for you to call your people. Let’s see what they can do to me.” Master Zeng was furious. His face was green from being threatened.

Xiao Lingyu immediately stepped forward and said, “Grandpa, don’t be angry. Don’t be mad with an unreasonable person.”

Grandpa Zeng looked at Xiao Lingyu and said, “But I can’t stand her being so arrogant and despotic. How outrageous!”

Xiao Lingyu said, “It’s not worth it.”

Grandpa Zeng nodded and said, “Yes, you’re right. The woman is not worth my anger.” He turned to Xiao Lingyu and her big belly. He gasped and kindly advised, “Miss, you shouldn’t be here. You have to be careful!”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Yes, I will be careful. Thank you for your concern, kind elder!”

Then, Xiao Lingyu shot a sharp look at Gu Qingjiao and said, “Madam, who told that we couldn’t sue you because there is no labor contract? Do you really know the labor law?”

“Who the fuck are you?” Gu Qingjiao saw Xiao Lingyu and asked angrily.

To prevent accidents, Xiao Chengbang followed beside Xiao Lingyu.

Xiao Lingyu did not answer directly. “According to the labor law of our country, it is clearly stipulated that if the employer doesn’t sign a written labor contract with the worker, the onus of blame lies with the employer. The employer is required to pay a certain amount of compensation to the worker.

“According to Article 82 of the Labor Law, if the employer has not concluded a written labor contract with the employee after the latter has worked with the former for more than a month from the date of employment, the employer has to pay the employee twice the monthly wage.

“If the employer fails to do that, even if both parties have reached an oral agreement not to sign a labor contract, the employee still has the right to report to the Labor Bureau.

“So, Madam, do you really think you’re in power since no labor contract has been signed between you and your employees? You can bully them all you want since there’s no labor contract?”

At this point, Xiao Lingyu pursed her lips into a faint smile. She looked at Gu Qingjiao with a confident and slightly mocking expression and said in a clear voice, “Actually, it’s the exact opposite. Not signing a labor contract is more beneficial to the employee.

“Once the employer fails to sign a written contract one month after the date of employment, the employer has to pay their employee twice the monthly salary.

“You just admitted to everyone that Xiao Xinxin has worked at your supermarket before. She has worked here for half a year, that is clearly more than a month. Therefore, based on the labor law, you owe her twice the salary.

“When you hired Xiao Xinxin, you promised her 1000 RMB per month. Not counting the wages you’ve deducted for no reason, you still have to pay Xiao Xinxin 6000 for those past six months. Then you have to pay her the one extra month she has worked for you, so it’s 7000 RMB in total.”

Once Xiao Lingyu finished, she attracted a wave of surprise and praise. Some people could not help but cry out in surprise.

Zhang Xiaoqing, who was hiding at the side, had her eyes lit up. She looked at Xiao Lingyu with starry eyes, full of admiration.

“Amazing! I didn’t even know not signing the labor contract is more beneficial to the employees. If the girl didn’t explain it to us, I would be none the wiser!”

“Yeah. In the past, we simply signed what was given to us. The boss told us to, so we did it. The bosses also fired us without reason. We didn’t know better, so we could only take it silently. If I had known this back then, I would have sought justice for myself!”

“Double the salary! Haha. Now someone has to pay back 7000 RMB for being black-hearted in the first place. This is really self-inflicted punishment!” Someone said mockingly.

Gu Qingjiao was also shocked when she heard Xiao Lingyu’s explanation of the labor contract law. She honestly didn’t understand the law that well. She merely heard from a friend at the Labor Bureau that she could freely deduct an employee’s salary if they didn’t sign a labor contract. The friend didn’t explain the full details of the law to them. Their employees also didn’t know better, so they could only allow their bosses to take advantage of them.

Therefore, Gu Qingjiao and her husband’s work every day was to find ways to deduct their employee’s wages.

They didn’t expect they’d one day face a steel wall.

“Who the heck are you?” Gu Qingjiao sized Xiao Lingyu up. She could not tell anything from Xiao Lingyu’s way of dressing. The only thing she knew was that Xiao Lingyu was pregnant.

Gu Qingjiao had been in business for many years and was good at reading people. But at this moment, she couldn’t figure out Xiao Lingyu’s identity. Since she couldn’t figure it out, she could only ask.

Once she found out Xiao Lingyu’s identity, she could act accordingly.

Xiao Lingyu smiled and introduced herself, “I’m Xiao Lingyu, Xiao Xinxin’s sister!”

After hearing that, Gu Qingjiao’s panic disappear. She assumed Xiao Lingyu was just bluffing. She didn’t think Xiao Lingyu would actually know the labor laws.

Gu Qingjiao sneered and said, “Ah, so it’s the country bumpkin girl’s sister. That makes you another country bumpkin. You sure paint a beautiful picture. Fine, go and sue me then. If you can successfully sue me, I’ll give you 7000 RMB. How about it?” Gu Qingjiao knew people at the Labor Bureau. With a call, she would make sure no report against her would be made.

Xiao Lingyu said coldly, “Madam, you’re so confident because you have connections in the Labor Bureau, right?”

“Hmph!” Gu Qingjiao didn’t say anything, but her head was raised high like a proud hen. This arrogant behavior represented her answer.

At this time, Grandpa Zeng suddenly took out his phone and made a call. When the call was connected, the person inside called out, “Dad!”

Grandpa Zeng said loudly, “I don’t care where you are. Come to the De Wang supermarket at Sunshine Road immediately.”

Then, without waiting for the other party to speak, he hung up.

Xiao Lingyu told Xiao Chengbang, “Uncle Chengbang, take out the thing.”

Xiao Chengbang nodded and took out a recording pen from his pocket.

Xiao Lingyu took it, then pressed it, and the recording came out.

“Who are you?”

“Who am I? I’m the younger brother of your employee, Xiao Xinxin! She was chased out yesterday night!”

“And I thought we were in the company of some big shot. So you’re that bitch’s younger brother. In that case, you have to be a country bumpkin too. What do you think you can do to me?”

“You’ll find out soon enough. But now I just want to know. Was Xiao Xinxin your employee? Did you deduct her salary?”

“Xiao Xinxin used to be my employee. But she was fired yesterday! As for her salary…”

“She came late and left early every day, so shouldn’t I deduct her salary?”

“So what if you have testimonies that Xiao Xinxin is my employee? Without something tangible on paper, what can you do to me? If you want to sue me, go ahead. Do you think I’m afraid of you? Let me tell you. I have friends in the Commerce Bureau and Labor Bureau. We’ll see how you can touch me!”

“Madam, you’re so confident because you have connections in the Labor Bureau, right?”

“Hmph!”

…

The recorded conversation was very clear. Xiao Lingyu smiled, “Madam, do you think we still can’t sue you with this? Oh, wait. That’s right.” Xiao Lingyu nodded. “We can’t do anything to you because you have friends in the Labor Bureau. But, let me tell you. I have a network in the county town too. Unless your friend is the director of the Labor Bureau, I promise you that I’d deliver this recording personally to the table of the Labor Bureau’s Director!”

“Haha. Young woman, don’t worry. I can guarantee you that the Director of the Labor Bureau is not her friend!” Grandpa Zeng said happily. If they were indeed friends, he would break his eldest son’s leg!

Xiao Lingyu understood Grandpa Zeng’s meaning immediately. Even though she didn’t know the relationship between the Director of the Bureau of Labor and the old master, from his tone, it sounded close.

God was really kind to her.

Gu Qingjiao was really a little scared by Xiao Lingyu.

She took out her phone from her pocket and made a quick call. After the call was picked up, she did not wait for the other party to speak and said loudly, “Hubby, come quickly. Something has happened at the supermarket. It’s that Xiao Xinxin. Her family came over to cause a ruckus. No, they used underhanded tactics, and I fell into their trap.

“They lured me to say that Xiao Xinxin used to be our supermarket’s employee. Somehow, they’ve pulled up the labor contract law. Employers who haven’t signed a labor contract need to compensate their employees twice their salary. Oh, okay, I got it. Mm, then come over quickly.”

Her husband had probably given Gu Qingjiao courage and support. She turned her head and immediately looked at Xiao Lingyu with a cold smile as she asked, “Do you think I really believe some poor country bumpkins will have connections in the county town? Silly girl, do you think you can scare me? Dream on.”

“It seems madam still doesn’t want to give up!” Xiao Lingyu’s clear and beautiful voice sounded, “Alright, let me introduce myself again. My name is Xiao Lingyu. That’s right. I’m a farmer from Taoyuan Village. I have just opened a vegetable shop in the county town.”

“Taoyuan Village? Wait, I know a shop with that name.”

“The only shop I can think of is Taoyuan Village Fresh Fruits and Vegetables.”

“Taoyuan Village Fresh Fruits and Vegetables?!” Someone gasped. “No way. If it’s really that shop, then the girl really has some deep connections.”

“Miss, but what’s the name of your shop?”

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “It’s a small shop called Taoyuan Village Fresh Fruits and Vegetables.”

“What?” Someone screamed, “You’re the boss of Taoyuan Village Fresh Fruits and Vegetables?”

Gu Qingjiao couldn’t believe it.

Although she had never been to Taoyuan Village Fresh Fruits and Vegetables, she had heard of its big grand opening. Many people of high status in the county city went to give the boss face.

If the girl was really the boss…

Gu Qingjiao’s vision faded.. At that moment, she had to admit they might have really found their match this time.
