Although Gu Ning could understand Lin Shiwei’s feelings, she couldn’t forgive him because he betrayed Shenghua Real Estate. Because he damaged the business, he had to pay a price.

“How are the injured workers?” asked Gu Ning.

“Most of them are lightly injured. They can make a full recovery within half a month. Seven of them were seriously injured. Two have broken ribs, two have a broken leg, and one has a broken hand. They can be cured, and won’t be disabled, but I’m afraid they won’t be able to do heavy work afterwards,” said An Guangyao. He felt lucky that no one was killed.

“How’s the mood of the injured workers and their family members?” Gu Ning continued.

“Some of them are okay, because we did a good job in paying our condolences. To compensate them, we will pay them according to the work-related injury insurance treatment items and standards, but some of their family members do not want to accept it. They want more, but it’s basically extortion,” An Guangyao said. An Guangyao was very angry about this accident. Although the court wouldn’t accept it, they couldn’t solve the problem right now.

“Some people are greedy. If so, I can pay them more, but it’s impossible to give them the amount they want,” said Gu Ning. She wouldn’t take advantage of other people, but she wouldn’t allow other people to take advantage of her either.

“Fortunately, we didn’t pre-sell. If we did, there would be a group of owners causing us trouble now,” An Guangyao said.

Actually, when many real estate companies were just digging holes, they would already put the houses on sale to get some money back.

Gu Ning was unwilling to do that. She preferred to sell after the houses were built. She didn’t lack money after all.

If it was pre-sold in advance, it would bring insecurity to customers. They would have a fear of the construction staying unfinished and the like.

After all, it wasn’t uncommon.

Therefore, most customers preferred to buy the houses after they were built. However, if the real estate companies sold houses in advance, they had to join the game, or they might not have many choices left.

…

They went to the construction site where there were many reporters. Once they showed up, they were surrounded.

As soon as Gu Ning and the others got out of the car, they were surrounded by the crowd.

Seeing Gu Ning, everyone was surprised. Although they didn’t know she was the boss of Shenghua Real Estate, they recognized her. After all, Gu Ning was born in Province D and she had a lot of fame here.

“Miss Gu, nice to see you, what are you doing here?” asked a reporter.

Gu Ning didn’t avoid it. Instead, it was a good opportunity for there to be reporters, so she answered. “I heard something went wrong at Shenghua Real Estate, so I came to have a look.”

Everyone could see that Gu Ning had no intention of avoiding them, so a reporter summoned up his courage and asked, “Miss Gu, do you know about the unqualified bricks Shenghua Real Estate used this time? What do you think of that?”

It wasn’t a secret that An Guangyao had a good relationship with Gu Ning, but it didn’t arouse any suspicions due to their age gap. After all, connections mattered a lot in business.

If they were ordinary people, it could easily have aroused suspicions if a young girl had a close relationship with a middle-aged man.

“I’ve heard about it. And it’s a problem Shenghua needs to deal with, but I believe it has nothing to do with Chairman An. I also believe it’s not something Shenghua wants to see. It’s the management’s fault for letting it happen, but there are too many things for the managers to handle, so I think it’s understandable. Shenghua is a large company and not every employee is reliable. As for my opinion, I can only see that the business competition is getting more and more serious. It might be a scheme from competitors,” said Gu Ning.

In fact, it was either their own problem or a scheme, so nobody thought that Gu Ning was shirking responsibility, but they didn’t know the real reason for this accident, so they weren’t fully convinced by her words.

“Miss Gu, do you mean it’s a scheme instead of Shenghua Real Estate’s fault?” asked Reporter A.

“Yes,” said Gu Ning in an affirmative tone.

“Miss Gu, do you trust Shenghua Real Estate because you have a good relationship with Chairman An?” asked Reporter B.

“Let me ask you a question, given your knowledge about me, what kind of person do you think I am?” Gu Ning asked instead.

“We all believe you’re an upright person. We all know that.”

“Right, we’ve all heard about your achievements, so we trust you.”

“…”

Everyone said that because they really trusted Gu Ning. After knowing what Gu Ning had done, they believed that she was an upright person.

“Great, if I tell you that this construction site belongs to my company, will you believe it’s actually a scheme or will you think it was deliberately done by my staff to save money?” asked Gu Ning.

“Since we trust you, we’ll believe it’s a scheme against you. Even if there is a problem, it should be because of the staff instead of you.”

“Right, I also believe that someone schemed against Miss Gu.”

“…”

Everyone chose to trust Gu Ning. Although they were trying to please her, they were honest as well.

“If so, I think I should be honest with you. The real boss of Shenghua Real Estate is me. So now will you believe my company won’t do such a harmful thing? I won’t deny that it’s my staff’s fault, and we’re going to deal with it,” said Gu Ning.

Because it caused a sensation, there were many reporters from major media.

Hearing Gu Ning’s words, everyone was surprised.

What? Gu Ning was the real boss of Shenghua Real Estate?
