From abandoned baby to CEO

Sun Xue immediately asked Liu Bin, "Is that the man just now the foreman of the construction site?"

"Yes, Uncle Huang."

"Call him to the office, I have something to talk to him about." Sun Xue instructed Liu Bin.

From what he just said, Sun Xue could tell that Uncle Huang was a sensible man.

She wanted to learn about Daniu's situation from Uncle Huang.

She also had an idea, to negotiate with a big shot.

Through Uncle Huang’s narration, Sun Xue had a brief understanding of Daniu’s basic situation.

My home is in a rural area near Quancheng City, in the same village as Uncle Huang.

He has a bad temper and likes to drink. He divorced his wife two years ago and lives with his parents and his son and daughter.

"Uncle Huang, my dad often mentions you to me, saying that you are a good person and work diligently."

Sun Xue wanted to get close to Uncle Huang.

Uncle Huang smiled naively, "As the saying goes, kindness is rewarded with kindness. Your father is a good man and has been very kind to me over the years."

"Thank you, Uncle Huang. I would like to ask you for a favor."

Uncle Huang answered readily, "Xiao Sun, just tell me. I will do my best to help you as long as I can."

"Uncle Huang, you also know that during the six-month epidemic, my dad...lost a lot of money."

"I know that. It's not easy to be a boss these days." Uncle Huang nodded in agreement.

Sun Xue felt like she had found a soulmate, and her voice choked up. "Thank you, Uncle Huang, for your understanding. You heard it too, Daniu asked for two million. No one wants this to happen. But... what Daniu asked for is too outrageous."

"This guy is a complete piece of shit, he has no conscience at all." Uncle Huang shook his head and continued.

"Back then, he begged and pleaded to let his father come to the construction site to work, and I softened my heart and agreed. If you knew he was like this, I would never let his father with a heart disease come to the construction site, and besides, that day his father..."

Uncle Huang suddenly realized something and immediately swallowed his words.

"What's wrong with his father?" Sun Xue asked.

"No...it's okay." Uncle Huang smiled.

Sun Xue realized that Uncle Huang seemed to be hiding something from her. He spoke hesitantly and his smile was very unnatural.

"By the way, Uncle Huang, you just said his father has a heart disease?"

Uncle Huang hurriedly evaded the question, "Oh...it was all many years ago."

Sun Xue noticed that Uncle Huang looked a little flustered when he said this, as if he was hiding something.

Sun Xue frowned.

Uncle Huang quickly changed the subject, "Xiao Sun, you just asked me for help. What can I help you with? Just tell me."

"Uncle Huang, if this matter is settled privately, I want you to help me persuade Daniu. If it is done, I will not treat you unfairly and give you a reward of 20,000 yuan."

Uncle Huang's eyes suddenly lit up, "What's your target price?"

Sun Xue thought for a moment and said, "300,000."

Uncle Huang frowned, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Xiao Sun, is this your idea or your father's?"

Sun Xue answered decisively, "It was my father's idea."

She called Boss Liu and asked about the compensation, and Boss Liu told her that the maximum amount would be 500,000.

Uncle Huang lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and shook his head slightly, "This price...I'm afraid it's too low?"

"Uncle Huang, my father has done his best. Some bosses have even paid 200,000 yuan in compensation."

Uncle Huang hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, based on my long-standing relationship with your father, I can help you to do some ideological work on Daniu. But I can't guarantee whether it will work or not."

"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Huang."

Sun Xue originally wanted to say 500,000, but the reason she said this price was because of what Uncle Huang accidentally let slip, which made her feel that there was another hidden story behind the accidental death of Daniu's father.

The responsibility in this matter should not be entirely placed on the construction site. It is possible that Da Niu's father himself is also responsible.

However, Sun Xue had no idea what unknown secrets had happened at the scene of Da Niu's father's death.

Perhaps, the secret is only known to Uncle Huang, Daniu, and a few co-workers.

Watching Uncle Huang disappear at the door, Sun Xue turned around and asked Liu Bin, "What kind of person is Uncle Huang?"

"He's not bad, a very down-to-earth person. He's usually very respectful to my dad and responsible at work."

"Liu Bin, do you feel that Uncle Huang seems to be hiding something from us? By the way, were you at the scene when Daniu's father had the accident that day?"

"No, I was at the decoration company at the time. Dad called me on his way to the police station after the accident."

Sun Xue immediately took out her phone and called Boss Liu, "Dad, were you there when Daniu's father got into trouble?"

"No, I'm at the bank. Lao Huang called me and said that Da Niu's father fell from the roof and died on the way to the hospital."

"Sun Xue, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

Sun Xue did not answer Boss Liu's question, but continued to ask: "Dad, what do you think of Uncle Huang?"

"It's okay, what's wrong?" Boss Liu was confused.

"Dad, I think there's something else behind Da Niu's father's death. Uncle Huang and Da Niu seem to be hiding something from us?"

Boss Liu was very surprised. "Is there another secret? What secret?"

Sun Xue shook her head and said, "This is my hunch, I don't know what it is specifically. But I will find a way to investigate it clearly."

Boss Liu sighed, "Sun Xue, I have now learned what it means to be pushed down by everyone. There is no so-called good brother or friend who is reliable. You should be more careful, including Daniu and Lao Huang."

"I know, Dad. Don't worry too much. I'll take care of it."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Xue immediately consulted a lawyer.

She felt that since Daniu knew that his father had a heart disease but concealed it, he should also bear some responsibility when something happened.

However, what disappointed Sun Xue a little was that the lawyer told her that even if Daniu's father suffered from heart disease and died of a sudden heart attack while at work, it would still be considered an industrial injury and the full responsibility would have to be borne by the person in charge of the construction site.

Sun Xue told the lawyer the whole incident, hoping that the lawyer could come up with the best solution.

After analysis, the lawyer suggested that it would be best to settle the matter privately.

Failure to wear a helmet and improper safety precautions resulted in death. Once legal proceedings are initiated, the defendant will most likely be held legally responsible.

After hearing the lawyer's words, Sun Xue's only remaining hope was completely shattered.

I don’t know if Uncle Huang can negotiate it. If he can’t, does he really have to pay Danniu so much money?

For her, there was another more urgent and difficult matter. If the construction site could not resume work in three days, she would have to fulfill her promise to the workers.

If the workers run away, the construction site will be completely ruined.

Sun Xue fell into deep thought.
