It was dark when Daniel had finished placating the family of the deceased with his promises. "I am sorry for all of this. We, the SL Group, unfortunately did not cooperate with a conscientious company. Starting from today, I will stop all cooperation between the SL Group and William's company, and I will find a new partner to take over this project, " said Daniel.
William turned deathly pale when he heard this. When he was just about to say something, a worker shout out, "Boss Si, I believe in you! I'll also follow you when you'll find a new partner."
Many people echoed his statement. "Boss Si, we are also willing to work for you!"
Daniel's brows became smoother, and he gestured them to be quiet. "Thank you. We'll look for a new partner as soon as possible, and you'll also have a paid break these couple of days, and your wages will be paid dollar for dollar. I promise."
They had worked here for nothing else but make a living for their family.
Daniel's act inspired many people, and some of the elder workers even shed tears.
"Thank you, Boss Si!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Daniel nodded at people's gratitude, and said, "My secretary is now in the hospital and her condition is currently unknown. I need to rush over now, you can go home."
Everyone stood up on their feet from the ground, but none of them went home just yet, because Daniel had also said that they could help bury the deceased if they had spare time.
Everyone helped to withdraw the mourning tent and lift the coffin. Daniel looked at the scene and then turned back to the car and drove from the construction site.
Because of the limited conditions they had in the town hospital, they only gave a simple first-aid treatment for Shirley.
She was then sent to Chengyang Private Hospital, as Daniel instructed.
Daniel let Spark go along with Shirley and then went back to the hotel to contact his new partnering company.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Daniel got hold of his new partnering company, and he discussed some important matters with the other party over the phone.
After struggling with herself, Janet didn't call Daniel for a long time. She simply sent him a message, saying "Call me."
She had sent the message at past ten o'clock, but two hours already passed and she still didn't get any reply from him.
Janet felt depressed and then got very angry. He had promised her to call her. 'Why didn't he call me till now? Could he be with some other girls?'
At twelve thirty in the evening, Janet couldn't wait any longer, and she called Daniel to find out what on earth he was doing.
She phoned him several times, but all she got was a busy line.
'It's half past twelve. Who is he talking to? Could it be about his business? Definitely not! Who would still talk about work this late at night?'
Janet's thoughts were in a whirl.
In the end, she fell asleep at about two o'clock in the morning.
Daniel had talked about business until his phone's battery was drained completely.
After he had finished arranging the partnership at past two o'clock, he recalled that he was supposed to have phoned Janet earlier in the evening.
He started up his phone and saw Janet's messages and her dozen phone calls.
Daniel felt guilty that he was too busy to talk to her.
He thought that she might have already fallen asleep.
"I'm sorry, Jane, I was too busy working. I'll call you tomorrow." After he sent her the message, he immediately started to deal with an urgent e-mail.
Janet woke up at about four o'clock in the morning and saw his message.
