Bai Zhou was wearing a black suit. His exquisite facial features were slightly gloomy and he looked unhappy.
Having seen Bai Zhou, who was usually smiling, his expression made Jian Ai’s heart sink.
Bai Zhou sat opposite Jian Ai and slowly said, “Something happened to a worker on the project.”
Jian Ai was stunned. Did something happen to a worker?
Without waiting for Jian Ai to ask, Bai Zhou took the initiative to explain, “On the first day you set off for the autumn trip, a worker on the hotel project lost his footing and fell from the suspension frame, breaking his leg.”
Jian Ai’s expression darkened, and she frowned. “Is it serious?”
Bai Zhou shook his head. “With Xiao Zhen around, these things aren’t considered serious.”
When Jian Ai heard this, she knew that Bai Zhou had something to say. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such a tone and expression.
“Continue.” Jian Ai leaned forward to listen.
Bai Zhou nodded and exhaled softly. “Two days later, another worker was hit in the head by a suddenly falling pulp machine and fainted on the spot.”
Jian Ai’s expression froze.
The construction of the hotel project had already started for a few months. The construction team was all from Century Group. These people were all very professional. After so long, there had not been a single minor construction accident.
In just a few days, it happened twice.
Was it an accident?
Or…
Jian Ai had to come up with a conspiracy theory. The business world was like a battlefield, and many things were not as simple as they looked.
In the next second, Jian Ai’s idea was confirmed.
Bai Zhou slowly picked up the two newspapers on the table and pushed them to Jian Ai. He said, “Look at these.”
Jian Ai took it and looked at it.
The main headline on the front page was: East Sea Real Estate’s construction project had successive accidents. Did they overdraw their labor? Or did they lack the equipment?
That’s right. It was such a long and purposeful title. Behind it was an entire article of so-called tracking reports. It basically meant that they were questioning the legal compliance of East Sea Real Estate, whether the workers’ legal rights were squeezed, and whether the construction equipment was qualified.
“These two incidents happened on the hotel project, and the company dealt with the aftermath immediately. Even if news leaked, it couldn’t have happened so quickly. The dates of these two newspapers are the morning newspapers the day after the incident.”
“Moreover, accidents at construction sites are common in the real estate industry. As long as it doesn’t involve life, it usually won’t be on the front page of the project. Someone is deliberately exaggerating the seriousness of the matter.”
Bai Zhou spoke coldly and said something strange.
Jian Ai looked at the newspaper and sneered in her heart. As expected, the tallest tree attracts the wind. East Sea Real Estate’s rapid rise seemed to have threatened some people’s cake and they could no longer sit still.
However, such despicable methods were not presentable. In her previous life, she had been in the real estate industry for many years and had seen much more than these despicable methods.
Perhaps the other party was putting her down and wanted to teach her a lesson?
However, to mobilize the authoritative newspaper in Baiyun City alone and publish such news that was not worthy of appearing on the front page, the other party should also be a company with connections.
“Did you send someone to investigate?” Jian Ai put down the newspaper and asked calmly.
