At this point, Liu Jianmin said, "After the construction site was completed, the decoration team moved in immediately. There were two adjacent apartments on the top 18th floor that had been sold, and I thought it would be convenient to decorate on the same floor, so I arranged for people to decorate both of them at the same time."
“During the lunch break, everyone went out to eat. When we came back, we had to do the work on 1801, but we forgot to bring the key. They called me, and I said I would bring the key over, but the kid wouldn’t listen. He said the two houses were next to each other, and he could just crawl over. So he crawled over.”
"The weather was bad today, the wind was too strong, and the child fell off as soon as he stood on it."
He fell from the 18th floor and died instantly.
Lin Wei hadn't expected this situation. "He shouldn't be alone, right? Didn't his companions stop him?"
Liu Jianmin hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "His father and another fellow villager were with him. When the child's father saw him fall, his legs went weak, and he rolled down the stairs and was taken to the hospital. When the doctor arrived, his heart had stopped beating for a moment. It's really hard to say what will happen after that."
"Weiwei, what should we do? This has never happened before when we were working. I'm at a loss."
The body on the first floor had been taken to the morgue by the police. However, because of the murder, the police had cordoned off the surrounding area. Such accidents are rare in Jiangcheng. Outside the police cordon, a circle of reporters and radio staff had gathered.
Even though people didn't know who they were, they kept taking pictures of them.
Liu Jianmin was really troubled. "The course of events is as described, and there are definitely no problems with it, but the final conclusion still needs to be determined by the police, which will definitely take some time."
“We’ll follow the procedures for what happens next. This isn’t a problem for the neighborhood, so the renovation company should take the lead in handling the public relations.” Lin Wei was a bit of a headache. “But if the public relations aren’t handled well, I’m afraid it will be hard to salvage our image in the future. Right now, I’m just hoping that the child’s father is alright so we can settle things with compensation.”
After inspecting the scene, Lin Wei accompanied Liu Jianmin to the hospital.
He also returned the call to Shen Jize.
"That's the situation. After what happened, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Hong Kong."
Shen Jize simply said, "Okay, you solve your problem first, and you can come over to play anytime."
Unexpectedly, Shen Jize appeared at the hospital that very evening.
"You... why are you back?" Lin Wei was both surprised and delighted.
“I’m worried. This isn’t a big deal for me, but you’ve never handled these kinds of things before, so I’m a little uneasy. Weiwei, do you need me to step in?”
Lin Wei shook her head. "This isn't your company's business. I always need to be able to handle things on my own. How can I leave everything to you when something happens? I'm just worried that the child's father won't make it through."
He must have felt incredibly guilty seeing his child die in such a way right in front of him.
Moreover, Liu Jianmin has always been the one to handle the renovation company's affairs, so it seems that she is the one who makes the final decision.
“Most construction workers are from out of town. The boy and his father’s family are still on their way. We didn’t tell them the truth when we notified them because we were worried that something might happen to them on the way. They will probably arrive tomorrow. We’ll talk to them when they arrive tomorrow.”
Several hours had passed, and Liu Jianmin had calmed down. "We have all the necessary paperwork and witnesses, but since it happened on the construction site, we should pay the compensation we owe. I'm just worried about his father... Weiwei, you go back first. I'll stay here and watch over things."
Shen Jize also said, "I'll leave someone here so they can report to us immediately if anything happens. They can come back early tomorrow morning. There's no point in you staying here."
"Alright then."
Although Shen Jize took her home, she was preoccupied and didn't fall asleep until late at night.
She was half-asleep when Shen Jize woke her up.
Lin Wei was genuinely surprised to see him at Lin Xiaomeng's house.
"Why are you here? When did you arrive?"
“I arrived early this morning. I was the one who took Yuanyuan to school this morning. Your aunt said you tossed and turned all night and didn’t sleep, so I didn’t wake you. But you need to get up now.”
Shen Jize pulled Lin Wei out of bed. "My people called me early this morning. The boy's father woke up, but..."
"Although the person has woken up, the subsequent doctor's examination showed that the situation was not very optimistic."
Because he was in such a hurry, the boy's father took the stairs instead of the elevator, even though there was one available.
Because my legs were weak, I fell down more than ten steps before I could stop.
But the boy's father quickly got up, and before he could get his coworkers to help him, he rolled down more than ten steps.
However, because they were on the corresponding floor, and the fire door was open due to construction, the boy's father bumped his waist into the fire door, injuring his spine. He may be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life.
Hearing this, Lin Wei couldn't help but sigh, "Paralyzed, her son is dead, and her lover is paralyzed. How hard must that be to accept?"
"His wife has arrived at the hospital. When she heard the devastating news, she fainted on the spot, but thankfully she managed to hold on. Although the community is not primarily responsible for this incident, they cannot escape their responsibility. The boy's father should not have to worry about the medical expenses."
Even if the boy's father is still alive, the medical expenses definitely cannot be paid in one lump sum, otherwise what will happen when the money runs out?
As for them—
Compensation should be provided in accordance with the agreed-upon terms.
Seeing Lin Wei's unusual silence, Shen Jize also thought of Lin Wei's own experiences.
"Weiwei, everyone has their own destiny. Although it sounds heartless to say this, as long as we do our best to have a clear conscience, that's enough."
"I know, but Shen Jize, you're wrong. Fate can be changed, and haven't I changed mine?"
She could change her own fate, but she couldn't change the fate of others.
-
The boy's situation caused a huge uproar.
As the employer of the boy, Liu Jiandong immediately apologized to the media and the public as soon as the incident escalated.
They also stated that although it was an accident, they would not shirk any of their responsibilities.
Everything needs to be compared.
Although Liu Jianmin's side couldn't salvage the situation, his attitude was very good.
But things were different with the neighborhood; they insisted that the boy's father's actions were not their responsibility.
"It was because the deceased's father became agitated after falling from the building that the accident occurred. However, the building's stairwells and elevators were in normal working order, and the fall was his own fault and had nothing to do with the community. But the community will provide some compensation to the patient."
This statement.
Either stick to your guns and refuse to pay compensation.
Either polish the draft properly.
It means enduring the insults while paying people to insult you.
