Wang Ying nodded. "I also heard from Yan Yan that this matter caused quite a stir locally, and the construction site was shut down because of it. However, Boyuan has surveillance cameras, and there are cameras in that area that captured it. It has nothing to do with us, but it would be good for the workers if you went there to show your support."
Therefore, Wang Ying is very insightful.
"Yes, you're right, that's exactly what I think."
That afternoon, she packed her things and went to Baicheng, where Zhang Yanyan was.
The two met at the airport and got into a taxi. Zhang Yanyan said, "There's no rush to go to the construction site. Construction has already stopped. This incident has caused quite a stir in Baicheng, and the construction site has been surrounded by residents."
"Oh, is it that serious? What about the evidence? Didn't you give it to the police? Didn't we install surveillance cameras?"
Zhang Yanyan said coldly, "I couldn't say this on the phone before, which is why I called you over. We did install surveillance cameras on the construction site, but the toilet the girl used is not within the scope of the surveillance. I have installed surveillance cameras outside the construction site as you instructed, but they just happen not to cover the toilet area."
Lin Wei was taken aback. "That's not right. If there are toilets nearby and there are surveillance cameras in that area, wouldn't that area be covered? Tell me about the situation in that area first."
The construction site they photographed this time was located in the area between the city and the suburbs. The area was full of construction sites, but the others were either in the final stages or already completed, while theirs was only recently started.
Because there were many workers in that area, many people set up stalls there to sell boxed lunches.
Because there are no stall fees, the prices are cheap, and many taxi drivers will eat in this area if they happen to be passing by.
Afterwards, a temporary toilet was built for that area.
The little girl's accident happened after lunchtime, which was the time when taxi drivers usually eat.
At this point, Lin Wei interrupted, "That's not right, our construction site always provides food and lodging, right?"
Lin Wei knew that the construction workers were doing hard labor. Regardless of what the food was like at other construction sites, they would have a big meat dish every day. She would rather earn less money than let the workers go hungry.
"Yes, our workers don't need to go out to eat at all, but it just so happened that a batch of materials arrived that day, and our workers on the construction site happened to go out to pick up the truck. They encountered that kind of thing and stepped in to save the person."
"They were going to call the police, but the girl said she would call the police herself and we didn't need to. We didn't think much of it and left it at that. Who knew that the police would come to our door two days later and say that we were bullying the girl."
"The little girl has suffered great emotional trauma and wants us to compensate her."
“We feel wronged. We did nothing wrong and we are being framed like this. The key point is that our camera initially captured that area, but strangely, at some point, the camera was moved away.”
"It's strange, because that area wasn't filmed in the first place. It seems like they were feeling guilty."
"Move it? Where did you put it? Didn't you use one of those fully automatic people-detecting cameras? Why would someone move it?"
"The kind we used, but it was damaged. We don't even know when it was moved. And right at the time of the incident, the surveillance camera was deliberately sabotaged."
That's contradictory. "The camera was broken, it was moved to another location, and then something happened at that time. There's definitely something wrong with that."
"Yes, so the police are investigating, but after two days they haven't found anything. I'm not worried about not finding anything, I'm worried that the investigation is taking too long and affecting the workers' morale. Besides, the construction site can't stay shut down indefinitely."
"Okay, so what's the situation at the construction site now?" Lin Wei asked hurriedly.
"The young woman used the power of the internet to speak out on Weibo. I don't know if she bought some ads or what, but the matter quickly became a big deal. After they found out that we were out-of-town business owners, many locals spontaneously came over and held up banners to kick us out."
Zhang Yanyan whispered, "The project was taken over under the name of Boyuan, which is the name of the entire group. We received positive reviews after the earthquake, so we have a group of fans supporting us. In addition, this was not originally our work, so it hasn't really involved us yet. But if it goes on for too long, I'm worried that other things will get involved."
What it is is not important.
They were worried that someone was trying to harm them.
Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake; one should always be careful in other people's cities.
"And you? You've been here for a few days now, what are your considerations?"
“I suspect that the locals did this on purpose. After all, it’s someone else’s territory. How can I believe that our construction workers would do something like this? I just don’t believe it.”
Putting aside their personalities, too many coincidences together are no ordinary coincidences.
"I'll go to the police station to ask tomorrow."
-
The two stayed at a hotel for one night.
The next day, after breakfast, the two went to the police station.
This was truly the first time Lin Wei had ever suffered such a setback in her more than ten years in the industry. She spent a full three hours at the police station, and not only did no one pay attention to her, but no one even brought her a glass of water.
"Walk."
Lin Wei picked up her bag and turned to leave.
Zhang Yanyan hurriedly said, "Leaving now, are you not going to do anything? Don't throw a tantrum at a time like this; we should focus on resolving the issue."
"I don't know how to resolve this? If they had just paid attention to us when we arrived, that would be one thing. But it's obvious they've been instructed by someone to deliberately embarrass us."
Zhang Yanyan naturally understood; she had been in this industry for so many years, how could she not understand such a simple principle?
But things still need to be done, so "what about the construction site?"
Is the project very large? How long has it taken you to complete it?
Zhang Yanyan laughed and said, "What are you doing? We've only been here for a few days, the materials just arrived, and we haven't started anything yet."
"If we sell this project, or just leave it as is, how much will we lose?"
Zhang Yanyan was taken aback, then quickly calculated in her mind, "How much can we lose? We rarely work outside of our hometown, and the land we acquired is extremely small. It's a drop in the ocean compared to your assets. Whether we build on it or not won't affect us at all. Besides, this land can be sold off. Even if it's affected by this, it'll only be a hundred million."
This is an overestimation.
Zhang Yanyan hurriedly asked, "You don't really want to sell and quit, do you? That's not like you. Aren't you the kind of person who gets stronger with each setback? And if we quit now, it'll make it seem like we've really done something wrong. If you really don't want to do it, we can stop, but we can't quit now."
"Of course I won't, but I can scare people. It's a piece of land in a second-tier suburb, a piece of land that has failed to sell at auction several times because it hasn't been developed. Do you think it can be developed if I don't take it? You want to make things difficult for me at this time?"
"Go back and have the workers at the construction site pack up and go home. They can wait for my instructions. If all else fails, we have other sites waiting to be started."
As soon as Lin Wei came out, she asked Zhang Yanyan to tell the workers to leave.
