What do you mean by asking for a salary?

Generally, companies can't default on employees' wages without special circumstances, and it is reasonable to ask companies to pay wages regardless of reasons.

You can tell the truth, or you need money urgently at home. For example, getting married and having children, children going to school and other matters, let the company settle your salary immediately. Another way is to go to the labor bureau to explain the situation and help get your salary back.
