“Our proposal for this project has already been approved by the headquarters half a year ago.
“And the arrangement for the demolition compensation?” Jasper asked.
Currey was even more confused as he replied, “That is decided according to the documents the local officials gave us. As a real estate business, all we have to do is compensate the people affected in accordance with the statement provided by the officials. Is there something wrong?”
Jasper scoffed and replied, “This Robust Demolitions you partnered with is only paying half the standard demolition fee!”
Currey’s expression immediately changed and he hastily replied, “The real estate company knows nothing of this, Mr. Laine.
“I’ll have someone investigate your involvement in this. Bring them out of here now now, I don’t want to see them.
“And contact all households that signed the demolition contract. Find out how many families Ronald had forced to sign the release and ensure that you pay them the standard compensation package.
“We’re demolishing people’s homes, so it’s only right we pay them exactly how much we owe. JW Real Estates will not profit from immorally-made money.”
Currey quickly replied, “Yes, Mr. Laine. I’ll get to it right away.”
Jasper waved his hand and did not speak anymore.
Currey glared at Ronald and shouted, “What are you waiting for? Come with me! Or do you want to continue being Mr. Laine’s eyesore?”
Ronald got up despondently and followed Currey out with a blank expression on his face. Archer left with them, his complexion pale and his head drooped down.
Archer was in despair now that he was fired; He knew that he was screwed.
