Chapter 273 The project went wrong
in the conference room
Xiao Cheng stared at his laptop expressionlessly. The news of the major accident in the South City Project dominated his screen early in the morning.
[A major accident occurred at the HC Group's Chengnan project, resulting in five deaths]
[An engineering accident occurred in the south of the city. HC attempted to conceal the truth and deceive the public.]
A major accident at HC Group's Chengnan project, resulting in five deaths, has sparked widespread public concern. Public skepticism of HC Group is growing, with demands for it to disclose the truth and assume responsibility. Relevant authorities have launched an investigation to establish the facts.
"It's clear that the matter could have been resolved quickly by spending money to appease the families of the victims. However, the people sent to negotiate actually clashed violently with the emotional families, and several family members were injured."
"The family is determined not to reconcile, and the attacker has now been taken away by the police."
"Yes, I don't know where the news leaked, but the situation is getting out of control. The group's stock price has already fluctuated."
After several project executives reported on the progress of the incident, they stood aside, looking at each other, sweating profusely.
After flipping through a few pages of documents, Sina subconsciously looked at Xiao Cheng who was playing with a lighter on the sofa next to her.
Several executives also followed Sina's gaze.
The man on the sofa has been here for three days and has been attending as an observer every time. Although I don't know his identity, judging from the attitude of the vice president towards him, I know that this man has an extraordinary status.
Xiao Cheng's face was gloomy. Although he sat casually, he could not hide the oppressive feeling emanating from his body. He was cold and intimidating.
With the crisp sound of the lighter lid closing, Xiao Cheng lit the cigarette in his hand and waved at a few people, signaling them to go out.
Several executives looked at Sina with pale faces.
After all, Sina is their immediate superior, and no one dares to move a foot without her permission.
"Okay, everyone, let's go out."
After Sina finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and left the meeting room.
Although Sina is apparently in charge of the project, this matter involves human lives, so Xiao Cheng has to handle it personally.
Seeing Xiao Cheng silent, Sina raised her hand and knocked on the table.
"Otherwise, I'll go meet the family. If we delay any further, public opinion will be unfavorable to us. If the project can't start soon, it will be even more troublesome."
Xiao Cheng flicked the ashes twice with his index finger, took a deep puff of smoke, and slowly exhaled from his mouth and nose.
After a few seconds of weighing the pros and cons, he shook his head slightly.
"No, I'll handle this. Prepare a detailed statement and contact the PR team to control public opinion. Remember, we want to solve problems, not create them."
As soon as the incident happened, the news was blocked and 20 million yuan was given as compensation to the families of the victims. This is enough to show the company's sincerity and attitude.
But the news leaked out the next day, and the people sent actually had a violent conflict with the family members.
This is too fucking outrageous.
If we exclude accidents, then someone did it on purpose!
Xiao ChengXiao Cheng's brows were tightly knitted together, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.
"You also think that 20 million can't solve the problem?"
Sina hesitated, then nodded. "Twenty million is a small amount, but if someone is deliberately manipulating public opinion, I'm afraid this amount won't be enough to appease the families."
Meeting Xiao Cheng's meaningful eyes, she hesitated and opened her mouth.
"what do you mean……"
"Putting aside public opinion, 20 million, 5 million for each victim. While this amount won't bring back lives, it's still a substantial sum for an average family. Even if they're asking for an exorbitant sum, there's room for negotiation. It won't escalate to a violent conflict. Someone must be behind this, fanning the flames."
Hearing this, Sina frowned and suddenly realized.
