Chapter 512: Return to Blue Star_2
There are police officers maintaining order, and many people are gathered around, many of whom are wearing worker clothes, safety helmets, and look very indignant.
A few seemingly wealthy men and women were brought onto the high platform, bound to racks by the police.
"Hit them, beat them hard."
"Who cares, that's our hard-earned money, we mustn't let them off."
"Dare to act high and mighty here, this is your end."
The workers on site grew more excited and fervent, waving their fists and stretching their necks to watch the high platform.
Because many workers are Chinese, Shen Xueqing and the audience could understand.
"Brother, what's going on?"
At the audience's request, Shen Xueqing found a tanned worker and asked about the situation.
"Ah, I... I'm from Hua Country, working here. Heard that wages are high here for workers, but being unfamiliar with the place, I found a construction company owned by our people, but who knew these rotten bastards would withhold our hard-earned wages, after working for two months, they didn't pay us..."
Under the worker's account, Shen Xueqing understood, because of wage arrears, someone complained to a subsidiary of Jieke Group.
Then these bosses and executives had bad luck; their usual tricks didn't work, so they were pressed onto the high platform.
Shen Xueqing wanted to laugh a bit, couldn't help but mock internally, haven't these bosses heard how Jieke Group rose to power? Jieke Group became the dominant force in Southeast Asia through extremely ruthless means.
Employees working at Jieke Group have very generous benefits, all kinds of welfare, four days work, three days off, no 996, 007, all voluntary overtime.
Under Jieke Group's influence and the implementation of strict regulations, the entire Southeast Asia's atmosphere tends to align with Jieke Group.
These bosses trying to cause such chaos under Jieke Group's rule, in Jieke Group's base Mande City, is simply short-sighted.
"Mercy, I'm willing to pay wages, willing to compensate, whatever it takes."
The boss on the platform finally felt fear, but it was already too late.
The police did a simple warm-up then picked up the whip.
The whip was specially made, a 1.2 meter long cane, soaked in water the day before execution to increase its flexibility for double the pain.
After everything was ready, a tall, robust policeman stood behind the boss, swung the whip several times, producing cracking sounds in the air.
The next moment, after warming up, the policeman swung hard, the whip lashed onto the construction company's boss.
Instantly, the skin where the whip landed first whitened, then became bruised, blood began to seep, the flesh split.
Ow!
The whipped boss let out an extremely painful scream, his body shook.
Smack!
Without waiting for the screams to stop, the second lash again whipped down, making the flesh blurred with blood.
Then came the third lash, the boss's face turned pale without any blood, the entire person in unbearable pain, feeling as if the soul left the body, twisted into a painful mess.
Living in luxury, he never tasted this inhuman pain, simply and abruptly fainted.
"The convict fainted, send him to prison, after he recovers, administer the remaining nine lashes."
The medical staff with the team examined briefly, communicated swiftly with the leading officer, and took the fainted boss away.
At Jieke Group, the flogging can be enjoyed in installments; if not finished this time, wait for the convict to recover and continue until completed.
Otherwise, forcibly administering can lead to a regular person unable to withstand too many lashes, potentially becoming permanently disabled or dying from shock on site.
Other executives and shareholders of the construction company trembled with fear, someone wet their pants, desperately begging the police present, but to no avail.
"You're not sorry for knowing your mistake, just regretting getting caught."
The officer sneered, "You can't escape the flogging, you must repay the withheld wages, the penalty must be paid, all supervised by us."
"Well said, beat these bastards to death, serve them right."
"Hit hard, beat hard, otherwise it won't satisfy us."
"Bully us honest folks, someone can always deal with you."
The workers watching below cheered, each flushed with excitement, shouting loudly.
In this lively atmosphere, one whip after another fell.
Every lash falling had someone's flesh splitting, screams echoing.
When all convicts were punished, bank staff arrived in armored vehicles, taking Dragon Coin cash to pay the construction company's owed wages.
The construction company had already been seized by Jieke Group days ago, collecting evidence, assessing assets, settling debts, the whole process was very practiced, as countless such confiscations happened during Jieke Group's rise, many nobles and merchants fell under Jieke Group's blade, naturally experienced, having developed a complete set of rules and procedures.
The entire scene was witnessed by Shen Xueqing, who turned and left, glanced at the live broadcast's screen, which had already been flooded.
'So cool, I understand why so many people work in Mande City.'
'Jieke Group is indeed ruthless! Doesn't indulge these capitalists one bit.'
'Upstairs, how do you think Jieke Group got famous, their mud truck business warfare never indulged capitalists!'
'Anyone who read Jieke Group's history knows they rose from Mande City, immediately eliminating Mande City's warlords and many criminal companies, no capital can surpass Jieke Group because they are the largest capital.'
Shen Xueqing watched the increasingly dangerous screen, the super admin already warned, quickly coughed, changed the subject.
"Attention everyone, our destination today is right ahead; follow my camera, ding ding ding, it's here, Jieke Group Headquarters Building."
Pointing at a towering building ahead, the audience was quite familiar.
The hundreds-meter tall building, the Jieke Group Headquarters Building, its fame grew exponentially as Jieke Group became Southeast Asia's undisputed leader, becoming an iconic structure in Southeast Asia.
At this time, the vast ground in front of the Jieke Group Headquarters Building had gathered numerous luxury cars, men and women of extraordinary demeanor appeared in the live broadcast.
'Wow, isn't that Wanda Group's Chairman Wang Lin?'
'Why did Apple CEO come, their Europe and America leading companies dare to approach Jieke Group?'
'That's the former world's richest, Musk from the space technology exploration company? Aren't they competitors with Jieke Group in space? Yet they came.'
'That one's even more heavyweight, Siam King Bai Ya is here.'
'Russia's chief diplomat, Ogg Douglas.'
Exclamations filled the screen, Shen Xueqing smirked, prepared to speak, then saw a convoy approaching from afar.
First, several crisply moving, cold-eyed Genetic Warriors disembarked, wearing Second Generation Biological Armor, once appearing, an invisible pressure enveloped, everyone knew these Genetic Warriors were terrifying entities, having executed over a hundred beheadings, killings.
Next, a man and woman also stepped down, none other than Southeast Asia's real rulers, Su Jie, and the second-in-command Liu Yingying.
"President Su, hello, hello!"
The big figures present, upon seeing Su Jie, each immediately plastered enthusiastic smiles and flocked.
No matter their status, everyone lowered their heads before Su Jie.
Shen Xueqing lowered her voice, introduced softly, "Jieke Group reportedly planned big moves today, prepared a press conference, I'm honored to be invited, to be today's guest."
'Sister Calm is impressive, even showed face here.'
'Quickly go find President Su for a photo! You can pass this down in the family.'
'Seeing Su Jie, I can only say one thing: A real man should be like this. This should count as the highest achievement by a Chinese overseas, domestic company bosses are too weak.'
'Why not talk about replacing him?'
'My brain hasn't turned mushy, how to replace him? Su Jie, President Su's skills, if it were me, I'd be caught by local warlords and made a piglet long ago, nowhere to become Southeast Asia's ruler.'
In the heated discussion on the screen, Shen Xueqing began moving towards Jieke Group Headquarters Building, led by staff.
