Chapter 42 The Heart of a Saint
“I don’t have any contracts related to labor, but for others, there are some families in Yuguang who can’t survive and will choose to sell their sons or daughters to Yaoguang.”
“Those human traffickers will only give half of the money first to prevent people from escaping, and the remaining half will be signed in the contract and will be given after three years.”
“But when the time comes, you can still But there are very few people who have received the money for selling their bodies.”
“Three years ago, I used the name of the union to negotiate terms with the council and asked them to pay part of the money and the union would take the lion’s share. , buy these IOUs from those families at a discount of half, so that they can at least get some of them back. It is always easier for the union to come forward to claim the IOUs than it is for them to do it personally.”

"However, those traffickers are backed by large companies with high status. Most of them will never come back in the end. Those contracts and IOUs are all here."
While Li Ming was talking, Levi also opened the account book, and almost every page contained a contract.
Finally, a summary was made. When all the money owed was taken together, there was a total of more than 12 million owed!
Counting from the very beginning, in the past two or three years, a total of more than 400 people have been sold to Yaoguang, and on average each person still has more than 30,000 yuan left to sell themselves.
Li Wei counted the densely packed IOUs and contracts, looked up at Li Ming and asked.
"Yaoguang is involved in human trafficking. Who are the biggest sources?"
Li Ming thought for a moment and replied.
“There were originally four companies, but one of them went bankrupt and left the Sun in the past two years, and was divided up by the other three companies. Now these three companies are the only ones left. Those human traffickers are basically their downlines. ”
After hearing this answer, Li Wei put down his account book. He did not intend to ask for Li Ming’s money, but only planned to do a business with him.
“I can help you, but I don’t want your money. We can make a deal and I will help you get the money you owe back, but you must sign a treaty in advance to get the money back. We are five Five cents, 12 million, I take 6 million.”
Levi said looking into his eyes.
This made Li Ming frown and look at him with confusion.
"These are basically bad debts. How can you ask them for it? They won't give you a penny!"
Li Wei tapped the table with his fingers, calmly explain.
"Don't worry about what I want from you. You must have your own sources of information in Yaoguang. Leave me a way to keep in touch with you. After I get the money, I have to find a way. Here you go. By the way, just give me a summary of all the information on the three human trafficking companies and give it to me before you leave tomorrow.”
Li Ming didn't agree first, he just looked at Li Wei like this. Because he had witnessed the fight in the rainy night with his own eyes, he actually had some idea of what Li Wei wanted to do.
"I don't understand. In fact, you don't have to use these IOUs and contracts, and there is no need to choose to split half and half with the union."
Li Wei had already stood up from his chair at this time, He didn't seem to have much to explain.
"You don't need to understand. You can think about it tonight. If you agree, draft the treaty and hand it over to me together with the information of the three companies when we meet tomorrow."
< br>He walked towards the door, and when he was about to open the door and leave, he seemed to remember something, turned around, smiled and bent his hands.
"Ah, I almost forgot, Fengzi told me to be polite. Good night, and have a sweet dream."
After staring at the door being closed again, Li Ming felt that he couldn't really have a good night tonight. . He stared at the account book in his hand and couldn't figure out that besides using force, Levi had a second way to get money from these capitalists who ate people without spitting out their bones.
But if he had already planned to use force, what was the point of asking for these IOUs?
Not to mention that he is ready to sign a contract with him and split the money 50-50.
Li Ming just sat on the chair, frowning and thinking, even if his wife came out and called him worriedly that it was time to rest, she ignored him.
He kept thinking about it for the rest of the night, and finally sighed.
The more he thought about it, the more complicated his mood became.
The only reason he could think of for Levi to do this was that he had his own principles.
This biological man who has been held in captivity by Tianen Company for seventeen years, is wanted by the Parliament for making dirty remarks, and is now hated by all workers in Yuguang, he has a heart like a saint!
Even after experiencing so much persecution and misunderstanding, he still sympathizes with the lower-class workers in Yuguang. He wants to work for these workers and get back for them the rewards they should have exchanged for their families, lives, and freedom.
This is the only explanation!
Thinking of this made Li Ming feel even more painful.
He clenched his fists angrily!
Why is it that even a biological human who was only treated as an experimental subject at birth and has suffered so much misunderstanding and persecution knows how to sympathize with those workers who have tried their best to stay alive?
How about those noble people who are pampered and glamorous in Yaoguang, but would rather pour milk and bread into the stinking ditch than show even a little bit of mercy to another group of people living in the same city?
He couldn't figure this out, and he couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it for half his life.
Li Ming could only take a deep breath, took out a piece of paper, picked up a pen, and began to draft the treaty to recover the arrears.
Block 2, early morning.
Thick white haze has enveloped the entire afterglow.
The news of the bishop's murder spread a lot in this dilapidated land, and even the cold mornings when waiting for the train were filled with a lot of curses and sighs.
The workers in Yu Guang hated Li Wei.
On almost every platform, voices can be heard angrily criticizing the biological man with Patent No. 626.
This made Feng Zhi, who was walking in the haze, look like he was gnashing his teeth from the moment he stepped out. Every time he heard a word scolding Levi, he wanted to go up and grab the person by the collar and point it at his face. Give him a good punch!
Li Wei didn't seem to care. He was listening with interest to what kind of ugly words those people could curse.
Hearing curse words that he had never heard before, he would praise the people on the production team for their rich experience and that they could come up with such lines.
While grabbing Fengzi’s arm to prevent her from running into a fight if she really couldn’t hold it back, Levi also glanced at the changed mission information in his mind.
[Trigger the mission "Visit": Find and visit a girl from Yuguang, and if she is in a bad situation, bring her back]
[Task reward: None]
Such a change was not beyond his expectation. Li Ming most likely agreed to the transaction with him, and the transaction was naturally just a transaction and could not be regarded as a task reward.
Then the current mission reward can only be the word "none".
