Chapter 726
Both the ambulance and fire brigade arrived, blocking the entrance of the construction site.
It was like Maribel predicted. Louis had already caught the news reporters and journalists' attention. Now that this had happened, all of them were rushing to take photos and write articles about them.
All of the interview questions revolved around one matter. Louis just made his statement in the morning, and in the very same afternoon, the project collapsed. What would the company’s official statement say about it?
Jolene turned all the reporters away and gave the excuse that they were still investigating the matter.
Catelyn did not appear in the media either. She was running through the construction site throughout. She was examining the blueprint, examining around the site, and incessantly asking the workers about the construction, the foundation, and whether or not it had collapsed before.
The place was near the riverbank. Due to its unique geographical location, the soil was extra soft.
Therefore, there were more questions to consider when building the foundation.
However, after examining the blueprint and the overall design, she realized that other than the mistake in Maribel's design, the foundation was not firm enough. There was also a problem of subpar quality of the building materials.
If this skyscraper was finished as planned, she bet that in five years, there would be a big accident!
At the same time, the media had already turned up the heat around this incident.
It went viral and became the hottest topic on the internet. There were billions, reading on the topic of VSA Group neglecting safety.
Catelyn did not regret calling for the fire brigade. One reason was that she needed to save the injured, and the second reason was that the project needed to be stopped to get examined thoroughly.
Hunter heard that not only did Catelyn not cover up the incident but attracted the media, so he immediately reprimanded her for it. Before she could explain, he hung up furiously,
In his eyes, this was no different from suicide.
All gone, everything was all gone.
Even so, he ordered the public relations department to work hard to explain and clear the company's name.
However, no matter how much money they burned on this, it was nothing as much as what Pentaland Group did.
Plus, the internet's emotions were already stirred up, and all their efforts were in vain.
Hunter aged by a decade overnight and gave up working on it. He gave Catelyn the autonomy to handle the rest and left early.
Pentaland Group.
It was Quinn's first time sitting in the main seat by the end of the meeting table, in the chair that was polished shinily. She was wearing a pair of tailored suits, and her hair was tied up. Her face was serious when she was not speaking.
In fact, she listened as the senior managers were having a meeting but could not comprehend a word.
She tried her best to fight her sleepiness. Finally, she concluded, "No matter what it takes, we will need to ace the sales for this project. We cannot lose it to VSA Group! We must give Granny a satisfactory answer!"
After the meeting, Eugene did not leave immediately but held his thumb up and grinned ear to ear.
