Despite maintaining normal business operations for years, a company left over 50 migrant workers waiting 15 years for their hard-earned wages. Clutching yellowed court verdicts that had long been in their favor, they applied to the procuratorate for supervision as a final hope. "We've been carrying this verdict and chasing this payment for 15 years!" said veteran Lu Mou on September 10, 2025, after signing a settlement agreement with a real estate development company at the Hongqi District Procuratorate in Xinxiang City, Henan Province. Several migrant workers beside him also became emotional, still holding their worn-out court documents. After 15 years, this wage arrears case involving over 50 workers and totaling more than 720,000 yuan finally reached resolution through procuratorial supervision.

In June 2010, Lu Mou and his fellow workers were employed by the real estate company. After project completion, the company failed to pay full wages, owing over 360,000 yuan. When they complained to the Xinxiang Human Resources and Social Security Bureau in September 2010, the bureau confirmed the violations and ordered double compensation, bringing the total to 720,000 yuan. Although courts upheld this decision through various appeals, by November 2017, only 100,000 yuan had been recovered through enforcement. The court then terminated enforcement proceedings citing no discoverable assets.

In August 2024, the workers applied for procuratorial supervision. Investigation revealed the company had been collecting nearly 200,000 yuan annually in off-the-books rental income from sealed properties - income never disclosed in asset reports. On December 19, 2024, prosecutors issued recommendations criticizing the court's inadequate enforcement measures. The court responded by sealing another property and recovering 100,000 yuan.

By June 30, 2025, another 47,100 yuan was recovered, but 478,100 yuan remained unpaid. Complications arose as the designated property faced multiple seals from different courts. A breakthrough came when a higher court ruling eliminated one sealing order. Prosecutors then facilitated negotiations for a property-for-debt settlement. On September 10, 2025, both parties signed an agreement where property No. 1402 would cover the remaining debt. "This case exemplifies how procuratorial supervision can resolve enforcement difficulties," remarked a National People's Congress deputy during case review, praising it as protection of workers' rights and social justice.
