After saying a few words, Nicole went upstairs to rest and felt pity for Maverick.
Logan was very efficient. Nicole told Logan about a few things before going to bed last night. By the next day, all the materials of the company involved in the Sand City project were delivered to her desk.
Nicole was a little surprised when she saw it. ”You didn’t sleep all night?”
Logan smiled. ”This information isn’t difficult to get. It’s basically common knowledge for anyone in Sand City.”
Nicole nodded, picked up her cup of coffee, and took a sip. When she flipped a page to take a look, she almost spat out her coffee.
She thought that the reason this project lost money was because of some issues with the project. She did not expect it to be so rotten.
The annual profit of Zico Company was always in the negative. They had hundreds of employees that took money from unemployment benefits to do the company’s dirty work.
This rotten project became Zico Company’s only source of income. Due to various unsafe practices, there were three or four accidents.
Since this project was to develop the area into an urban zone, it was located in the city center and must be completed first because it was an essential first step for the general development of Sand City.
Zico Company delayed this project as much as possible so that they could extort a sky-high compensation from clueless buyers to sustain their company.
In fact, the few hundred people in Zico Company were all money-suckers. This scene was horrifying.
Logan coughed slightly. “President, Zico Company has reached the end of the road. The company has several powerful people that are greedy. The money that was allocated to them had always been divided until scraps are left, but the books didn’t show any of this. It’s like a bottomless pit.”
Nicole pursed her lips and kept silent for a few seconds. “We have to check the accounts first.”
“But…”
Nicole took a deep breath and picked up the phone.
“I’ll contact Mr. Lewis and have Jacob Cook take someone to check on it.”
With Mr. Lewis’ authorization, them checking the accounts would be justified.
As expected, Mr. Lewis was very quick to agree. With such a rotten account, he was also eager to find out the problem, cleanse the company, and take back the ownership of the project.
In the afternoon.
Jacob called from Sand City.
“Ms. Stanton, Zico Company is very united and didn’t want to cooperate with us at all. There are no problems with their books. These people are too cunning!”
Nicole did not expect that a group of bankrupt people were still so united.
She paused. “Stay there. I’ll be right over.”
Jacob was stunned. “Ms. Stanton, you should bring a few more people. The people here are more pugnacious…”
He used a more euphemistic word. In fact, the people there were too ruthless, undisciplined, and fearless. This was Jacob’s first day in Zico Company to check the accounts, and he was already scared by their arrogant temper.
Nicole did not expect such a situation and responded without taking it to heart.
Before she departed, she suddenly received a call from Eric.
Nicole frowned. At this juncture, she did not want to reveal her whereabouts.
“Hello?”
“Are you going to Sand City?” Eric’s voice had an unconcealed nervousness.
Nicole wrinkled her brows. ’How did he know?’
“Yeah.”
’So what if he knew about it?’
“Nicole, do you know how dangerous it is there? Don’t you have subordinates? Why do you have to go personally?
What if something happens?” Eric’s voice was deep with a chill.
Nicole felt baffled. “Mr. Ferguson, I appreciate your concern, but I don’t think that it’s a lion’s den.”
“Nicole…”
Eric slowed down as he spoke. “I know that you want to start with that company, but they’re not good people and have blood on their hands. They won’t care about who you are!”
