“We can’t find the reporter anywhere. Maybe he’s afraid that we’ll try to go after him.”
Jacob spoke weakly.
He was a middle-ranking executive, but every time there was a problem, he had to get help from this little girl. Just talking about it was embarrassing.
However, Jacob could not help it and was unable to hide it.
“What about that worker?”
Nicole’s voice was a little cold. It was very hard to describe her mood.
Jacob said, “We found the worker. We suspended construction after the incident, and I immediately had someone call him.”
“Alright.”
Nicole answered and hung up the phone. She rubbed her temples and felt a headache.
To the side, Logan sorted through the emails on the iPad, then handed it to her after a glance.
“This is the photo that was exposed by that reporter. He uploaded it to a short video platform. It has already exceeded 200,000 likes…”
It was just a few seconds of video and looked shoddy at first glance.
However, the picture of the building materials taken above clearly read the words “Stanton Corporation”.
The caption read, “Formaldehyde building materials. Do you dare to use them?”
It was followed by a video interview with the worker.
”Which company doesn’t use those building materials? If it’s cheap, it means there’s formaldehyde. Everyone uses such building materials…”
The video alone already caused a small ripple.
There was a wave of curses in the comments section.
[Capitalists really deserve to go to hell! Do they even care about our lives?]
[Stanton Corporation also does such nasty things? I just bought one of their houses in the first phase. How unlucky!]
[I saved for half my life just so I could buy a new house, but it turns out that it was made with formaldehyde. You shouId’ve just said that in the first place…]
[Why did you have to hide this from us? There are so many people living in those houses now. Are we just supposed to curse our bad luck if we get sick?]
[Damn! I’m so lucky I don’t have enough money to buy a house…]
Nicole took one look and could not stand it anymore.
It had to do with people’s lives. It was not something that could be explained just with a few sentences of clarification.
Nicole glanced at Logan. ”The authorities have already proposed to re-examine this?”
Logan nodded.
”They already heard about it. Mr. Lewis sent word and told us to be prepared for it.”
Mr. Lewis was really understanding.
This matter was most likely not his doing.
Re-inspection was not a trivial matter. Putting aside the fact that they would have to go through quality control for several hundred million building materials one by one, it would also take some time for the results to be released.
It was very likely to cause a few months up to a year of delay.
If that happened, their losses would be immeasurable.
Once the inspection started, the people would start to speculate and sling mud at them, and the fluctuations in the stock market would also become volatile.
In short, it would only cause harm and no good.
“Should I go and find out who in the government body ordered it?”
Nicole said, “Someone of Mr. Lewis’s level isn’t important.”
Just because a reporter uploaded a short video of a dozen seconds?
It was a little rushed.
Logan immediately nodded.
The car was on the road for more than two hours before finally arriving in Sand City.
Nicole got out of the car. She did not even have time to go back to the hotel and went straight to the project department of Zico Company.
Jacob Cook looked tired and pale.
He greeted them at the door with an apologetic smile. He looked so pitiful and useless.
“Ms. Stanton, you must’ve had a tiring journey…”
Nicole held her anger. She really wanted to scold him to vent her anger.
If Jacob had managed the project properly, would this matter have gotten out?
Even Grant felt that Jacob was useless and could be replaced at any time.
However, when she turned and saw his tired expression,
she was unable to scold him.
Forget it.
