On January 12, rural workers demonstrate at Xianyang airport [in Xi'an] for salaries owed; more than 20 worker representatives carry a red banner that reads, "Welcome back president Zhang Give us our wages," as a way of greeting the president of their company, Mr. Zhang, at the airport. According to reports, representatives for the workers went many times to the company to ask for the money, but the boss never appeared. Hearing people at the compay say, "On January 12, he'll be flying back from Beijing," they passed the word on to each other that on January 11, workers from Yulin, Yangling and other places would go to Xi'an to discuss preparing a welcoming ceremony at the airport. The workers hoped to use this method to "stimulate" the boss to give them their wages.
1月12日，咸阳机场上演农民工讨薪一幕，20名农民工代表，手持鲜花，拉着“欢迎张总回来给我们发工资”的红色横幅，为总经理接机。据称，农民工代表去公司多次要钱，结果连老板的面都没见着。听公司的人说，“12号会从北京坐飞机回来。”于是大家相互转告，1月11日，农民工们从榆林、杨凌等地赶到西安，一起商量准备办一个接机仪式。农民工希望用这种方式“刺激”领导，讨回工资。

But from the expression on president Zhang's face, it looks like the workers owe him money.
看张总这表情，好像是农民工欠他钱似的。
