The project is severely behind schedule, is the reason for "force majeure"?
She flipped through the project report, her face growing increasingly grim.
It turned out that a geological problem occurred at the construction site, causing some sections to collapse and making it impossible to continue construction.
This was actually a project that Li Yulin was in charge of back then, and now he's in a dilemma because of mishandling it.
If the cooperation is cancelled, the Li family will have to pay a huge penalty for breach of contract, resulting in heavy losses.
But if we continue to delay, the losses will only increase.
After pondering for a moment, Li Susu decided to go to the construction site herself.
Without notifying the project manager, she drove to the construction site with only an assistant.
To avoid alerting the enemy, she lied to the site manager, claiming to be a department manager under General Manager Li and that she had come specifically to check on the situation.
The site manager looked worried and kept sighing.
"President Li, this project really can't start. A piece of land has collapsed and we can't fill it in. We can only leave it on hold."
His tone was filled with helplessness and anxiety.
Li Susu didn't say much, just nodded to show her understanding.
She followed the person in charge into the construction site, and the scene before her eyes astonished her.
Many workers were idle; some gathered together to play cards, while others sat aside chatting and boasting, creating a lazy atmosphere throughout the construction site.
The foreman seemed oblivious to all of this, taking it all for granted.
Li Susu walked up to the foreman and asked about the situation.
The foreman repeated what the person in charge had said, his tone tinged with a hint of complaint.
"President Li, if we don't start work soon, I'll have to take the workers to find the next job."
"We're idle every day, but we only get paid for half a day. How are we supposed to support our families?"
His words were filled with helplessness and bitterness.
Li Susu walked straight towards the collapsed area.
There was indeed a huge crater here, like a gaping maw swallowing the surrounding land.
Building on this site would indeed be dangerous.
Logically, in this situation, both parties should negotiate to abandon the project and minimize the losses.
But the owner of Kelongteng Real Estate just wouldn't agree and kept dragging things out with the Li family.
The losses are increasing day by day, and sooner or later problems will arise.
Li Susu immediately asked her assistant to contact geological experts to come and take a look.
Upon hearing this, the person in charge immediately changed his expression and stepped forward to stop him.
"Manager Li, many experts have come to see us before, and they all said there's nothing they can do. There's no need to waste any more money."
He sounded anxious and kept rubbing his hands together.
Li Susu insisted, "We still need to take another look and find a more authoritative expert."
Upon hearing this, the person in charge became even more anxious and grabbed Li Susu's arm, trying to pull her out.
"President Li, please don't bother. Just go back and report. It's all decided by the higher-ups. Why should we, as employees, take it so seriously?"
His face was beaming with smiles as he warmly invited, "Come on, Mr. Li, let me treat you to dinner so we can have a good chat."
Li Susu withdrew her arm without making a sound.
She knew in her heart that the people who came to the construction site before had probably been brushed off in the same way.
Perhaps some people even received bribes.
Li Susu probed subtly, "Did the boss of Longteng Real Estate instruct you to do this?"
The person in charge chuckled and changed the subject, clearly tacitly agreeing.
Li Susu pretended to accept his invitation and made an excuse to leave the construction site first.
The person in charge thought he had escaped a disaster, breathed a sigh of relief, didn't take it seriously, and didn't report it to his superiors.
Li Susu got into the car and rubbed her temples.
She wanted to see what kind of monsters and demons Longteng Real Estate was.
"Investigate the owner of Longteng Real Estate, especially regarding its finances and whether there are any problems with the company."
She instructed her assistant.
Although this project was not a key project for the Li family, it still involved several million dollars.
We cannot be careless.
The assistant immediately agreed: "Yes, Mr. Li, I'll take care of it right away."
Li Susu closed her eyes, and the image of the person in charge's fawning and obsequious face appeared in her mind.
It seems there's a lot more to this than meets the eye.
"Go to the hospital."
She opened her eyes and spoke to the driver.
She still wanted to ask Chen Ke about his matter in person.
