Yang Qiaoqiao knew that Guo Tao was a steady and reliable person. He was only saying these things because he was too angry and wanted to vent his anger.
She said to Guo Tao, "Brother Tao, go over there and calm the family down. We'll try our best to meet their demands. We can give them a little more compensation if it's within a reasonable range."
Regarding the money, just tell me how much you need; you don't need to tell Beixiao.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go over and find out what's going on first, then I'll call you back to discuss it." Guo Tao had calmed down after his anger subsided.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Qiaoqiao began calculating how much compensation the shopping mall needed.
The situation at the shopping mall is not as severe as that at the cement plant.
Apart from the five workers who died unjustly, there were no other casualties.
Based on the compensation standards for workers in coal mines and quarries that have had accidents in the past two years, which are generally between 60,000 and 80,000 yuan, she plans to give a little more, say 100,000 to 120,000 yuan.
It will cost approximately 500,000 to 600,000.
This amount of money is no small sum for her now.
Even if she mortgaged the garment factory, she wouldn't be able to get that much money.
I don't know when I'll be able to sell the houses and land I bought in Shanghai.
When Tong Xuejiao returned, she saw Yang Qiaoqiao struggling with the numbers on the white paper.
After she looked closely at the number, she understood what Yang Qiaoqiao was worried about.
She patted Yang Qiaoqiao on the shoulder, took a bankbook from her bag and handed it to Yang Qiaoqiao, "This is a bankbook with 500,000 yuan. Give it to Huo Beixiao first, and he should make the necessary compensation."
Let's control the situation and prevent it from escalating. We can discuss the follow-up matters after we get through this difficult time.
"Sister Xuejiao, thank you." Yang Qiaoqiao really needed the money at that moment.
Only money can help Huo Beixiao.
So she didn't stand on ceremony with Tong Xuejiao and directly took the money from Tong Xuejiao's hand.
Tong Xuejiao twitched the corner of her mouth. "What are you thanking me for? I already had an investment in this mall, and now that something like this has happened, I should take responsibility."
Yang Qiaoqiao called Guo Tao and asked him to come and collect the money.
Guo Tao's eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were dark, and his face was covered in stubble. He probably hadn't rested since the cement factory accident.
Yang Qiaoqiao handed the passbook to Guo Tao, her eyes full of gratitude. "Brother Tao, thank you for your hard work."
Guo Tao looked at Yang Qiaoqiao with more respect in his eyes, "Sister-in-law, take good care of yourself."
After watching Guo Tao leave, Yang Qiaoqiao returned to her study and began to write and draw.
The biggest problem Huo Beixiao faces now, besides money, is what to do with the cement plant and shopping mall after things calm down.
The cement plant is relatively easy to manage; starting construction after reconstruction shouldn't be a problem.
But this happened before the mall even opened. Once word gets out...
Although people have been hesitant to mention feudal superstitions in recent years since the "Destroy the Four Olds" campaign, they still dare not openly discuss them.
But in fact, the belief in ghosts and gods is part of traditional culture and is ingrained in the Chinese people.
Before a shopping mall even opens, five people are listed on its website. If someone uses this as an excuse to spread rumors about ghosts and gods, who will dare to go in and shop there even after the mall opens?
Unlike twenty or thirty years from now, when such an event occurs, people can now openly and publicly perform rituals.
She needs to devise a reasonable opening plan to completely eliminate the negative impact of this accident on the shopping mall.
Before she could figure anything out, she heard a knock on the door.
When she went out, Tong Xuejiao had already opened the door.
Yang Jianguo and Zheng Yulan came in from outside the door looking anxious.
"Qiaoqiao, are you alright?"
While Yang Jianguo was asking questions, Zheng Yulan had already begun to examine her.
Seeing that she was completely unharmed, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Jianguo shoved a bankbook into her hand. "Qiaoqiao, with such a big incident, you and Beixiao must really need money. I don't have much here, but this is 50,000 yuan that I've saved up from doing business. Take it first."
Yang Qiaoqiao felt a little envious. "Thank you, brother."
Yang Jianguo smiled憨厚ly, "What are you thanking me for? If you hadn't brought me to the city to do business and brought in Mr. Xia to invest in me, I might never have seen so much money even if I toiled in the fields my whole life."
You're using the money I earned, and now that you need it, it's perfectly reasonable for me to give it to you.
Yang Jianguo and Zheng Yulan didn't stay with Yang Qiaoqiao for long. They told Yang Qiaoqiao to be careful and to always think about the baby in her belly. They also told her to contact them if anything happened before they rushed back.
They run a duck shop near the train station, selling at least two hundred ducks a day. They need to go back to prepare.
Zheng Yulan suggested that they temporarily close their business for two days to spend time with Yang Qiaoqiao.
But after considering it, Yang Jianguo felt that it was precisely at times like these that they had to insist on keeping the store open and making money.
Because Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao definitely need a lot of money right now, they run a shop, so they'll try to earn as much as they can and help them raise as much as they can.
For the next few days, Yang Qiaoqiao called Huo Beixiao but no one answered.
They could only call Guo Tao again and ask him to come over and take the 50,000 yuan that Yang Jianguo had given them.
When Guo Tao arrived, Yang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but ask, "Brother Tao, how is Bei Xiao now?"
Yang Qiaoqiao hasn't gone out these past few days.
However, the focus on accidents at cement plants and shopping malls has not been relaxed at all.
The newspapers publish the latest details on how these two major accidents were handled every day.
They also began to discuss what responsibility Huo Beixiao, as the boss, should bear for such a major accident.
There are many voices calling for Huo Beixiao to be held criminally responsible and imprisoned.
And all sorts of superstitious rumors have already started circulating among the people.
Looking at Yang Qiaoqiao's worried expression, Guo Tao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister-in-law, Boss Huo has been very busy lately, handling the police investigation, comforting the family members, and arranging an investigation into the truth behind the accident."
He'll be back in a few days after he finishes his work.
Yang Qiaoqiao nodded. She had originally wanted to ask Guo Tao how the accident investigation was going.
But he swallowed his words back. The progress of the investigation wasn't published in the newspaper, and Guo Tao didn't bring it up himself.
I'm afraid it's not convenient to disclose the information right now.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Qiaoqiao said, "Brother Tao, keep an eye on Chen Liang and Dai Hu regarding the accident at the cement plant."
Chen Liang and Dai Hu are Wu Zhaodi and You Dongyun's men. Regardless of whether this accident has anything to do with them, they are definitely involved in something.
Huo Beixiao had previously said that he knew there was something going on between the two of them, but he needed to play the long game to catch the bigger fish.
Now that the cement plant has had this accident, the water in this pond is completely murky, and it's probably impossible to catch fish there anymore.
Yang Qiaoqiao didn't know if Huo Beixiao had thought of this while he was busy, so she mentioned it to Guo Tao.
Guo Tao nodded. "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we're already investigating."
