Female Novel
Chapter 244 Visiting the Jiang Family Again
“What happened?”
Chen Hao was stunned.
“There was initially a construction scheduled to be carried out here. However, they have now found out
that some of the materials used by the developers were problematic. This caused a massive collapse
of the construction site ahead. Around 60 people were heavily injured, not to mention that over hundred
were injured! Thank God no one passed away!”
“I also heard that the developer ran away yesterday night. Now, all the investors are in trouble. Along
with the Jiangs, around ten people were suspended! They are still waiting to be dealt with as of now!”
The construction workers continued saying.
Investors? I remember Uncle Jiang was one of the investors, was he suspended too?
Chen Hao asked again, “Wouldn’t that be unlikely for them to run away? Since no lives were harmed
anyways, can’t they just compensate them? Moreover, the main responsibility doesn’t fall on the
investors right?”
“Well, the developers had no budget left I guess. It was rumored that they had no money left around
half a year ago. It wasn’t like we knew who to demand for our salary from anyways. About the
investors, well, someone has to be the scapegoat right? Besides, right now is the best time for big
enterprises to invest in and develop Ping An County. Now that something like this happened, the leader
must be so pissed! This is going to influence us badly!”
Chen Hao finally understood what was going on.
However, it wasn’t like he had a say in it anyways.
After expressing his sympathies, Chen Hao took another route and bypassed them.
On the way, Chen Hao received WeChat messages from Li Zhenguo talking about the building that
collapsed. What a coincidence!
Chen Hao took the chance to ask Li Zhenguo to find him a professional jade inspector.
After all, Li Zhenguo had better connections than he does.
Back at the hotel he rented, Chen Hao was preparing to leave for dinner after taking a bath.
Suddenly, he received a phone call from his father.
“Dad?” Chen Hao greeted.
“Hey son, I heard that something happened in our hometown that you’ve invested in. Did the building
really collapse?”
“Well, yeah. However, my group wasn’t involved in it.”
Wow, news travels fast.
“I know it wasn’t your group’s fault. What I wanted to say was, your Uncle Jiang was suspended. Can
you go over to check in with them and see if there’s any way for us to help them out?” Chen Hao's
father pleaded.
“What? Didn’t I tell you, dad? Uncle Jiang has clearly moved on from his friendship with you. How could
you still want me to help him?
Chen Hao was frustrated after hearing his father’s request.
Everytime his father contacted him, he would mention the Jiang family. Basically what he meant was
for Chen Hao to help them out if they ever landed themselves into trouble.
If it wasn’t for him, why would he always help Jiang Ranran who always looked down on him every time
she got herself into some kind of trouble.
He couldn’t have cared less if it weren’t for his father.
However, the last time Chen Hao went to the Jiang family’s house left Chen Hao utterly disappointed.
He’d told his father about it too.
Hence Chen Hao did not care anymore although he knew that the Jiang family was in trouble.
After all, according to Uncle Jiang, Chen Hao shouldn't bother him if he doesn't have anything
important.
So, Chen Hao decided to not bother.
“Sigh, well, there are some things that are hard to explain. By the way, have you seen your Aunty
Tang?”
His father suddenly changed the topic.
Chen Hao frowned, “Yeah, I did! Why?”
“Cough, I have wronged Uncle Jiang in the past. That’s why I feel really guilty about it. So even though
their family couldn’t care less about us, please try to help them out,” Chen Hao’s father said, sighing.
“Seriously!”
Chen Hao was so done.
Is it possible that father had something going on with Aunty Tang too?
Did she cheat on Uncle Jiang?
“Dad, what happened exactly? And who was the woman named Meng Xin that you pleaded with me to
look for? Are both Aunty Tang and Meng Xin your—”
Chen Hao was mind blown.
“Cough cough, you brat! What are you even talking about? What I had with the both of them isn’t what
you imagined. As long as your Aunty Tang is still in the Jiang family, you must help them out! Just take
it as if you’re doing me a favor. And remember to help me search for Meng Xin too! Your mother is
here, I’ll be hanging up now. So long!”
He hung up on Chen Hao.
Chen Hao held onto his phone in a daze.
What the hell.
Chen Hao even had the thought of spilling it to his mother. After all, Chen Hao felt really guilty helping
his father to keep it a secret from his mother.
Sigh, whatever, I’ll just trust him this time.
He looked at the time—it was only 5:30.
Chen Hao scratched his head, I guess I have no choice but to visit Uncle Jiang.
Immediately, Chen Hao drove over to the Jiang family’s house.
It looks like many people came over today, thought Chen Hao when he reached.
Uncle Jiang was resting on the sofa with an IV needle in his arm. Apparently, he fainted and fell ill after
he was suspended from his job.
Some of the guests were still chit-chatting by the side.
“Come on, Mr. Jiang. What happened has already happened anyways, there’s no use being too
affected by it. The leader only suspended you in anger because the influence was too bad. Can’t say
for sure that he won't hire you back after everything is over!”
“Exactly! Besides, doesn’t Tang Lan work at the bank? Since she has grown up anyway, things will be
fine financially!”
“Thank you, Mr. Li, Mr Zhao. Why don’t you guys stay over for dinner tonight?” Jiang Weidong replied
weakly.
“It’s okay, we will not be staying for dinner. We just wanted to visit you. We got to head back now!”
Both of them stood up and prepared to leave.
“Mr. Li, Mr. Zhao, do you guys really think that there’s no better solution for this case anymore? Since
you guys have many connections, can’t you guys give us a hand?”
However, both of them shook their heads and expressed that there wasn’t much that they could do.
“Calm down, Aunty Lan. Before I came, my dad did tell me something about Uncle Jiang’s case—”
He paused. Of course Lin Dong was here too.
After saying that, Jiang Weidong as well as Jiang Ranran who looked like she had been crying looked
at Lin Dong.
Lin Dong thought, Hmph, looks like you guys still have to rely on me at this critical point of time, don’t
you?
Jiang Weidong went over and held Lin Dong’s hand, “Lin Dong, what did your father say?”
“My father said, if you think that this is a problem, then it will be a problem and vice versa. Ultimately,
this wasn’t your responsibility anyways! As long as you can get a new developer to take over the land
and compensate all the workers, it will be fine! After all, they deserve their hard-earned money!”
In short, they needed more funds to retake the project.
“Sigh! But now that the construction project has turned sour, it is likely that we have to remove the
property that we previously built too! Who would take on a project like this? Besides, the money for
compensation will be given by the county. However, with the amount of compensation needed, even
the county won’t be able to take out a large sum like this!
Jiang Weidong shook his head.
It wasn’t like this idea didn’t cross his mind.
Ding dong!
Right at the moment, the doorbell rang.
Jiang Weidong thought it was another one of his colleagues. He hurriedly let Tang Lan help him up,
“Ranran, quick! Get the door and greet our guest!”
“Alright!”
Jiang Ranran nodded and went over to open the door.
“Chen Hao?”
Jiang Ranran was obviously surprised when she saw Chen Hao.
“Sigh, why is it him again?!” Tang Lan sighed in disappointment.
Jiang Weidong too, shook his head, clearly annoyed.
He let Tang Lan help him to lay down again.
It was obvious that he was expecting some honorable guests. However, he only saw Chen Hao. This
wasn’t what he was expecting at all....novelbin
