But an employee surnamed Zhou said in a communication with the IBTimes Chinese network that the company's so-called "accommodation subsidy" was nothing. The real situation is that the food is very poor, and every day to deduct from the salary of 9 yuan per meal fee. The company will also be deducted from the employee's monthly salary of 80 yuan, the lack of sanitary facilities of the dormitory situation is bad, 7 people crowded one room is the normal, and sometimes may even live into 10 people.
