7: Chapter 7 The Army Assembles

"Who did you run into? Old Chen, you're so excited, could it be you ran into an old flame?"

"No way! No way! Could Old Wu have actually guessed it right?"

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

...

"Brother Chen, you wouldn't have run into a celebrity, would you? But I haven't heard of any celebrities coming to Shu City to film recently?"

Chen Sheng: "..."

This batch of students is really hard to lead.

They have absolutely no ability to resonate.

Chen Sheng decided to just reveal the answer directly, "I just ran into Lai Yong."

As soon as these words appeared, the group chat went instantly quiet, but three seconds later...

"?????? "

"???? Who did you run into?"

"Didn't they say Lai Gouzi had already fled the country?"

"【Machete.JPG】 【Machete.JPG】 【Machete.JPG】 Report your coordinates immediately. If I don't hack him to death today, I'll make him take my last name."

"He still owes me a commission payment. He must pay it."

"That's right! He must cough up last month's wages."

...

What do you call this?

This is what you call having the crowd on your side.

Chen Sheng was very satisfied with everyone's proactive attitude.

Sharing his location to the group, he wrote, "I just saw Lai Yong with his Sister-in-law enter this hotel. As for which room they're staying in, I didn't ask because I was afraid of alerting them. When you guys get here, don't act rashly. Meet at the Yujian Coffee Shop diagonally across from here, and we'll discuss a specific plan."

"Received!"

"OK!"

"Wait for me for thirty minutes."

"It'll take me about an hour, wait for me 【Please.JPG】"

"Heaven helps me, I'm right nearby, I'll be there immediately."

...

While rushing over, everyone kept urging Chen Sheng to keep an eye on the hotel and not let Lai Yong escape. At the same time, they were brainstorming in the gaps, discussing how to catch Lai Yong and how to get their wages back.

Still with wild imaginations.

For example, finding professional debt collectors with underworld backgrounds.

Or stripping Lai Yong naked on the street, and if he doesn't pay, recording a video and uploading it online.

Of course, there were also reliable ideas.

For example, calling the police first to handle it and restrict his freedom; then hiring a lawyer for a fast-track trial to get the court to restrict his high consumption and travel. At the same time, mailing the court receipt to his registered residence and uploading it to his credit report, ruining his reputation while making him a deadbeat for life.

When someone posted this plan in the group, even Chen Sheng, who was holding a hot coffee, couldn't help but gasp, "Hiss~ This woman is really ruthless."

So the ancestors were really right, it is only women and small-minded people who are difficult to deal with!

Tsk tsk!

Chen Sheng felt that the plan he had envisioned was simply lame to the extreme.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.

The 17-person Wage Recovery Mutual Aid Association had finished gathering. As for those who originally said they would come but had temporary matters and didn't show up, it didn't matter.

As the initiator of the event, Chen Sheng looked around and spoke first: "Everyone who should be here and wants to be here is here. We can't count on the others. Everyone, what's the plan going forward? Let's hear your thoughts."

"Everyone came out just to make money. Personally, I think as long as we get the money owed to us, that's enough. Let's forget about the rest."

"I agree with Old Qi's point of view. We have children; it's not worth getting ourselves locked up for a piece of scum like this."

"I'm single, so I don't have to worry about anyone else. I agree with putting getting the money first, but I can't guarantee I won't take action when the time comes."

"Me too. What Lai Gouzi did isn't human behavior. If it weren't for Brother Chen running into him..." Although the rest of the sentence wasn't explicitly said, everyone understood what it meant.

If it weren't for Chen Sheng coincidentally running into Lai Yong while 'driving a ride-hailing car', the money owed to everyone would just become a stack of bad debts.

However, among the 17 people, those with 'concerns' clearly made up the majority.

Of course, this is also the norm.

Don't look at how they all dressed themselves up online as Long Aotian-style characters who defy heaven and earth and bow to no one; in reality, most of them can only be keyboard warriors due to various constraints.

Neither side could convince the other, so in the end, they simply decided that the goal was to recover the wages. As for taking action, it would depend on individual willingness; it wouldn't be demanded or forced.

Once everyone reached a consensus, Chen Sheng smiled and said: "It's getting late. There happens to be a fast-food restaurant nearby, and we can keep an eye on the hotel from there."

"I'll also take advantage of the time while we eat to contact Qiu Guilan and see if she's willing to lead the charge."

"WTF! Brother Chen, you have Qiu Guilan's phone number? You guys wouldn't happen to be..." As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at Chen Sheng with a different gaze.

Surprise, shock, envy, jealousy...

After all, as the boss's wife, Qiu Guilan had only come to the company a few times over these years, and each time she was in a hurry. Under these circumstances, it stood to reason that Chen Sheng and Qiu Guilan should have absolutely no connection to each other.

Now that Chen Sheng actually said he had Qiu Guilan's contact information, how could this not lead to wild speculation?

You have to know, that figure of Qiu Guilan's...

Tsk tsk! Absolutely juicy!

"What are you all thinking!" Chen Sheng gave the crowd the middle finger, "I have a wife, and I love her very much."

"Having a wife doesn't affect anything. As the saying goes, how can the flowers at home compare to..."

"Stop~" Before Old Liu could finish, Chen Sheng quickly made a "pause" gesture. If he didn't stop him, he didn't know where the conversation would drift off to. "Just tell me, do you want to notify Qiu Guilan or not?"

"Notify her, why not? This is a rare, good show."

"I love watching the original wife and the mistress fight it out, especially when they're sisters! Tsk tsk! Even if we don't get our wages this trip, just this show alone is worth the price of the ticket."

"Alright! Everyone, wipe that lewd grin off your faces first. We don't even know if she'll come!" The group arrived at the fast-food restaurant, and Chen Sheng took out his phone, found Qiu Guilan's number, and started composing a text message.

【Qiu Guilan? Your husband Lai Yong and Qiu Guifen are currently at the Fulong Hotel at 98 Yongshun Street. If you're interested, come over now, otherwise you might not run into them.】

Confirming that the text message was sent successfully, Chen Sheng gave everyone an "OK" gesture, "Now it's just a matter of whether she'll come."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Qiu Guilan might not cooperate. After all, China values the idea that family scandals should not be made public, and this mistress is her sister.

It didn't keep Chen Sheng waiting too long; soon his phone emitted a text message notification sound.

【Qiu Guilan: Are you sure?】

【Chen Sheng: Certain and sure.】

【Qiu Guilan: Okay! We'll be there in about half an hour.】

"O-fucking-K, the show starts in half an hour." Chen Sheng signaled to everyone with his phone, "Let's hurry up and eat. After we eat, we'll circle around the hotel to see if there's a back door or something. We must not let him escape."

"That's right! Don't let us fail at the very last step."

"Eat fast, eat fast!"

Amidst the urging, everyone quickened their pace of eating.

In less than eight minutes, the group of people left the fast-food restaurant in twos and threes, and according to the deployment just now, began to observe the hotel from different directions in batches.
