Ms. Zeng, an employee who works at the coffee shop on both sides of Fukemao Commercial Street on Friendship Avenue in Wuchang District, reported that the boss was missing and that more than 80 employees in the store had not been paid for two months, totaling more than 450000 yuan, and they did not know what to do.

Ms. Zeng said that since August this year, Li, the owner of the coffee shop, did not appear in the shop, and the monthly salary was paid on time, and everyone did not think much about it. However, the wages in September and October were not paid, and the management could not say the specific release date, and the shop on the 4th floor officially closed yesterday morning.

At about 4 pm yesterday, a reporter from Chutian Metropolis Daily came to the cross-strait coffee shop and saw that the coffee shop had a total of four floors, with a hot pot shop on the first floor, a coffee shop on the second and third floor, and teppanyaki on the fourth floor. The lights were not turned on in the shop on the fourth floor, and the staff sat in the dimly lit store waiting for the results.

Mr. Zhang, an employee, said that not only did he have no salary for two months, but now he does not know where to live after the employee dormitory provided by the store expires at the end of the month.

Huang, the person in charge of the coffee shop, said there was no time for an interview. The reporter dialed the number of Li, the legal representative provided by the staff, to show that the phone was turned off. Ms. Zeng said that employees could not be reached when they called Li many times.

At present, the staff of the coffee shop have called the police, and the labor security supervision brigade of Wuchang District has been involved in the investigation.
