There were two mourning tents not that far away from them, and two coffins were quietly put inside them.
Daniel walk towards the tents and looked at the families of the bereaved. Among them, there was also a pregnant woman, and she seemed to be extremely grieved. She leaned on the pillar and was wailing, devastated by her loss.
"h.e.l.lo, " said Daniel.
The pregnant woman then opened her tear-filled eyes and looked at him. She was daunted by Daniel"s manner of speaking, and in an instant forgot how to even reply to him.
"Are you a relative of Deal Fu?" asked Daniel. Daniel didn"t mind the woman forgetting to reply to his salute.
The pregnant woman nodded, "Yes. Who are you?"
Shirley came forward and introduced Daniel to the woman. "This is Daniel Si, the CEO of the SL Group. He is also the boss of the supervisor of this construction site."
When she heard that the man in front of her was Daniel, the big boss, the pregnant woman immediately stood up from the ground and shouted at the protesters, who were not that far away from them, "Everyone come here! Daniel Si is here! We can air our grievance now!"
Daniel frowned.
Hearing the woman"s shouting, tens of workers ran towards them, and they immediately surrounded the mourning tent.
"Daniel Si, you finally showed up! You are an unscrupulous merchant, and you are treating people"s lives like dirt. You must give us an explanation, today!"
"Yes! You are an unscrupulous merchant! We want an explanation! And that sly William, he even didn"t dare to show up!"
"You are not allowed to leave here until you give us an explanation!"
...
Daniel"s appearance at the site had stirred quite a sensation here. Most of the protesters were airing their grievance against Daniel and his partnering CEO, William Zhou.
Daniel stood silently, listening to every word they said.
Finally, the protesters finished their complaints, and everyone had their eyes on Daniel, expecting a reply. Daniel asked the pregnant woman beside him, "How much money did William give you as compensation?"
"We didn"t ask for money! No one stood out to apologize after the accident. My Deal can"t even die in peace!" The pregnant woman suddenly became very emotional, and she stared at Daniel with fury gleaming in her eyes.
But she immediately looked away because she was again daunted by Daniel"s imposing manner.
Daniel continued to ask, "What about Cedric?"
A construction worker reached out from
Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.
"You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.
"You! Give that land to my family, or I won"t agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.
"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.
and with some other people"s help, Spark carried Shirley to the car.
"Now, everybody sit down, and I will listen to your complaints. As long as your demands are within my ability, I will definitely satisfy them!" Daniel"s strong character shocked everyone present. They laid down their tools from their hands and they sat down to hear how Daniel would solve their problems.
Seeing that Spark had taken Shirley to the hospital, Daniel then gathered the direct relatives of the deceased, and he sat down with them to discuss a solution.
One hour pa.s.sed, two hours pa.s.sed, three had pa.s.sed, and finally Daniel took out two cheques and wrote the same number on each one: three million.
He then led William and Cedric to the mourning tent, and they each lit candles and incense and bowed to the deceased.
After showing their respect towards the deceased, Daniel told the pregnant woman, "We are very sorry for your loss, and when your child is born, I will bear all the expenses for the child until she or he come of age."
Regardless of all the people"s surprised looks, Daniel then walked to the relative of another deceased worker. He said to the mother of the son, "Aunt, we are truly sorry for this accident, and rest a.s.sured I will pay for both your pension, and uncle"s. I send my deepest condolences to you."
The mother was moved to tears, and she held Daniel"s hands, and said, "You are a good man, and my son will rest in peace now. Thank you! Young man!"
"We are truly very sorry for what has happened!" said Daniel again.
What Daniel did won over all the people"s hearts here. They couldn"t find any fault in his actions.
