Chapter 477 Master Fu personally promised 4000 yuan
The crowd immediately erupted in excitement: "That's right! I can't even open the pot at home!"
Some even cried, "If you don't give us a clear answer, our whole family will be left with nothing!"
A brave reporter raised his microphone and shouted:
“Why don’t we finalize the compensation plan here today.
With so many eyes watching, you can't just go back on your word, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present stared at Fu Chengxiao, waiting for him to give an explanation.
Lin Panpan sneered and tapped the table with her fingertips:
"2000 yuan? Prices are soaring these days, and this amount isn't even enough for a year's tuition for my child!
In the future, medical treatment and schooling will cost money everywhere. Are your family members who work as miners ironclad?"
Fu Chengxiao's forehead veins bulged, and he suddenly leaned forward and threatened in a low voice:
"Lin Panpan, don't be shameless!
When this is over, I will close down all your businesses!"
"Reporters, you all heard it!" Lin Panpan suddenly turned around and said:
"This is the Fu Group's attitude in handling murder lawsuits!
Threatening the victims and trampling on the dignity of the dead!"
The flashbulbs flashed wildly, and Fu Chengxiao froze in his place for a moment. After a long while, he managed a cold laugh: "You dare to publish it? Believe it or not, I will shut down your newspaper tomorrow!"
"Do you think you can still cover up everything?" Lin Panpan grabbed the negotiation documents on the table and threw them to the ground.
“If the compensation today is less than 5000, I will take all the victims to Beijing to petition!
Even if you suppress these reporters, I can still buy off the entire network to expose them! Do you dare to bet?"
There was a thunderous response from the crowd, and the miners' families rushed forward holding banners, almost blowing the roof of the conference room off.
Fu Chengxiao's back was soaked with cold sweat. He gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, his nails almost digging into the leather.
After a moment of stalemate, he suddenly fell back into his chair and said through gritted teeth, "4000 yuan! Not a penny more! If you dare to talk nonsense again..."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Panpan grabbed the microphone and said, "Everyone, Master Fu personally promised 4000! Please record the entire process as evidence!"
In fact, according to the previous rules, if a miner died, the mine would give him a few hundred dollars and that was it.
Being able to negotiate a settlement of 4000 yuan this time is something that these miners and their families could never have imagined.
On the day after signing the compensation agreement, many miners gathered around with red eyes.
An old man was holding Lin Panpan's hand and trembling, tears streaming down his face:
"Sister, you are our family's savior!
If it weren't for you, we orphans and widows wouldn't even have enough to eat."
The older sister holding the child next to her also wiped away tears:
"That's right! My child had a fever a few days ago, and I didn't even have money to buy medicine.
If you hadn't helped me with the medical expenses, I really don't know what I would have done."
Fu Chengxiao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. It was clearly his own money, but the miners all surrounded Lin Panpan and cried and thanked her, while he was like a transparent person standing by.
He glared at Lin Panpan fiercely, flicked his sleeves and left.
Within two days, bad news came.
Lin Feng ran over in a panic: "This is terrible! Several of our factories have been closed! They said they failed the fire protection and environmental protection standards!"
Lin Panpan was not in a hurry. She flipped through the account book and said:
"Just close it, it's a good time to take a break.
If that doesn't work, move the factory to a more remote place, which means higher transportation costs and lower sales.
The department store can still operate as usual, just with a new name.
When the hype has died down, I plan to open a large department store in Beijing, and we'll still sell our own products."
Lin Weihua sighed in worry:
"Alas, I am so unlucky that I have offended such an unreasonable family like the Fu family.
He's wealthy and well-connected, so who knows what evil tricks he might be up to! We have to be careful in the future."
Lin Panpan put down the account book and sneered, "What are you afraid of? If he can trip us up, we'll just counter his moves. We can't let him overpower us!"
Lin Panpan also had no intention of letting Fu Chengxiao go.
The Fu family’s business is huge, and there are loopholes everywhere.
Take the construction industry for example, many buildings cut corners and do not comply with regulations at all.
There is also the bridge construction business, which also has a lot of problems. Lin Panpan and Gu Mobai secretly collected a lot of evidence and handed it over.
A few days later, someone came to check the bridge built by the Fu family.
Unfortunately, a bridge suddenly collapsed, killing several people on the spot, and the incident caused a sensation in the city.
Lin Panpan was so angry that she kept shaking her head: "The Fu family is too black-hearted. All the construction they did is shoddy. Aren't they playing with human lives?"
Gu Mobai sneered:
"All they care about is money. What kind of immoral things can't they do?
Just take their private clubs and villas, there are at least dozens of them across the country.
I don’t know how much dirty money they make every year, and who knows where it’s spent.”
Lin Panpan sighed: "The Fu family's network of relationships is too complicated. It's really hard to deal with it in a short time."
Gu Mobai comforted her:
"Don't be impatient, take your time. This bridge collapse has caused such a big stir.
The higher-ups have sent someone to investigate, and the Fu family will definitely be in big trouble this time."
The Fu family was also in an uproar. Master Fu slammed the documents on the table and pointed at Fu Chengxiao's nose and cursed:
"Is this what you did? You said you could settle it, but in the end, the miners' compensation alone cost over two million!
How many materials can be purchased and how many connections can be established with more than two million?
Do those poor bastards deserve so much money?"
Fu Chengxiao slammed the table, veins popping out:
"If it weren't for Lin Panpan and Gu Mobai behind the scenes, it wouldn't have turned out like this!
The collapse of that bridge is so strange, maybe they blew it up!"
Master Fu snorted coldly and threw the investigation report in his face.
"The higher-ups have checked clearly and there are no signs of explosion on the bridge!
The steel and cement were shoddily built, and the bridge piers are filled with rotten wood!"
He turned and glared at the trembling project manager, slamming his teacup down on the sandalwood table, spilling tea onto the contract on the corner.
"I want you to save costs, not to fill the hole with human lives!
Now the bridge has collapsed, people are dead, and reporters are blocking the door. Who will clean up this mess?
Several of his men were so frightened that their faces turned pale, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe.
Fu Chengxiao stepped forward with an apologetic smile: "Dad, it was my fault this time, but don't worry, I've already made the arrangements..."
"Enough!" Master Fu waved his hand away and turned his gaze to Fu Chengnuo who had been silent.
The man in a well-tailored suit pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, a cold light flashing through the lenses: "Brother, leave this to me."
He pulled a stack of documents from his briefcase and ran his finger over the list:
“I have already made arrangements for the witnesses to the bridge collapse.
The quality inspection report can be redone, and then I plan to go directly to the victim's family to discuss compensation with them."
