Half an hour later, Julian walked out of the room with a depressed project manager.
Ten minutes after that, Jasper exited the room too.
Once he walked out, the middle-aged couple immediately fell to their knees in front of Jasper.
Jasper recognized them to be the parents of the heavily injured young man that fell from the building.
“Please stand,” Jasper immediately helped the couple to their feet.
The middle-aged woman wiped her tears as she sobbed to Jasper. “Mr. Laine, you’re the biggest boss here. You have to save our son.”
“Don’t worry, the company will take full responsibility since your son was working and got injured on our construction site.”
“How’s he doing now?”
The security officer immediately ran over and replied courteously, “Mr. Laine, he’s already been sent to the emergency room and his condition is stable. He’s not in life-threatening danger but he might be plagued with lifelong disabilities after this. Worst case scenario, he might live the rest of his life in a vegetative state.”
Jasper frowned slightly and asked, “All workers on site are insured, right?”
“Yes.”
The security officer hastily replied, “This is something the head office and Mr. Tucker stressed. We could not afford to be frugal with the insurance, so every worker was given the best workmen compensation and medical insurance available.”
“Good, but insurance claims tend to be processed slowly. The company will prepay all medical expenses and send professionals to deal with the supplementary nutrition and escorting expenses. There’s no need to be frugal with this either, it’s important that we at least keep our workers stress-free if we can’t keep them safe.
“The company will also pay for everything the insurance claim cannot cover, and if the worker ends up with a life-long disability, the company will assign them with another post once they’re ready to work again. Don’t be stingy with the compensation package either, and make sure you follow the standards.”
