The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

After having her gastric lavage, Lin Jiaran is now sleeping soundly on the hospital bed with an IV drip.

He still needs to be observed for two days before he can be discharged from the hospital. The company has some urgent documents that need to be processed, so Lu Jingshen asked Zuo Meng to bring them to the hospital.

Lu Jingshen's cell phone on the table vibrated with an incoming call. He quietly put down the documents in his hand, walked out of the ward and answered the call.

"President, there's a problem with the New Town International project. A worker fell from a building during construction. It's said there's a safety hazard. The media has rushed over. The workers are on strike to seek justice for their co-workers. They also asked to see you by name." As soon as the phone was picked up, Zuo Meng's anxious voice came from the other end of the line.

"Go over there first to see what the situation is, and have someone stop the media from leaking any news. Then send someone reliable to check if there are any safety issues. Pay the deceased immediately if they deserve compensation. I'm in the hospital now, I'll go over later."

"okay."

Lin Yehua’s phone number is unreachable.

Lu Jingshen then called Lin Qing again. The New Town International project was a joint development project between Shengshi and Yuanfeng. Something unexpected happened when it was near completion. This was a very serious matter and might affect all subsequent issues and even the reputation of the cooperation between the two parties. He had to pay attention to it.

"Where are you?"

"I'm about to board a plane. My dad is on a business trip abroad, and he asked me to come back temporarily to manage the New Town International project. What's going on? Aren't there any regular inspections for potential safety hazards?"

"Since you're back, go directly to Sacred Heart Hospital after you get off the plane. I'll take care of the specific situation. You take care of my wife."

"Lu Jingshen, why does my sister keep visiting the hospital every other day after being with you? Do you know how to take care of people?"

"It was my negligence. I didn't expect someone would cause her to be poisoned by drugs right under my nose."

He tried every possible means to guard against this, but some fish still slipped through the net. As he spoke, he couldn't help but clench his fists, veins bulged, and his anger was obvious, as if there was always someone who was unscrupulously challenging his patience time and time again.

"what happened?"

"We'll talk about it later."

"Okay, if you're busy, you can go over there first, and I'll go directly to the hospital to help take care of people."

Zuo Meng arrived at the construction site. The body of the worker who fell from the building was still there, covered with a white cloth. The family members of the worker had also arrived and were sitting on the ground crying around their dead relative. The accident was caused by potential safety hazards at the site, and the family members were determined to seek justice. The workers also followed the family members in protesting and seeking justice. The scene was in chaos, and the persuasion of the managers of various departments and the public security personnel was completely ineffective.

Zuo Meng squeezed out of the chaos and called Lu Jingshen again in the slightly quieter phone.

"CEO, can you come over now? The family members insist on seeing you. The media are blocking us outside. If we continue to block them, they might think we are up to something shady."

Lin Jiaran was still asleep and Lin Qing hadn't arrived yet, so Zuo Nai was called to wait outside the ward.

Lu Jingshen was worried again and called Gu Qingze to ask him to help look after Lin Jiaran.

"What happened?" Gu Qingze rushed over after receiving Lu Jingshen's call.

"There's a problem with the project over there that I need to deal with. Before Lin Qing comes, please pay more attention here. Things are a bit too coincidental. I'm afraid this is not groundless but a deliberate cause of trouble." Why did such a problem arise when he was unable to get away? He couldn't help but suspect that someone wanted to get him out of the way so as to take the opportunity to attack his wife.

"You go and do your work. I'll wait here for Lin Qing to come."

"Third brother, please take care of my wife for me." He first took the documents on the table in his hand, and then looked at the person sleeping on the bed with concern. The phone vibrated and various urging sounds forced him to leave temporarily.

"Don't worry, even if something happens, it will be me first. I will never let your wife get hurt under my nose."

Zuo Nai was standing guard outside the ward diligently, and Lu Jingshen glanced at him.

"If anything goes wrong with her again under your nose this time, you'll die." The cold voice gave people an attitude that left no room for questioning.

"Yes." The resounding answer reflected his attitude and he lived up to his mission.

As someone who had been with Lu Jingshen for many years, Zuo Nai knew very well that Lu Jingshen was not joking. If he failed to take good care of him this time, his condition would be very serious.

Lu Jingshen drove to the scene alone. Zuo Meng had already provided cover, so no media noticed Lu Jingshen's whereabouts.

As soon as Lu Jingshen arrived, Zuo Meng first reported the situation here.

Lu Jingshen walked into the project department's meeting room in a hurry. Before Lu Jingshen came, Zuo Meng had instructed the relevant persons in charge to gather in the meeting room. No one could escape the problem of potential safety hazards, and the relevant personnel were waiting in the meeting room anxiously.

Walking into the conference room, everyone looked at the imposing man who came in. Their faces looked very bad, and the hidden hostility in them made people shudder.

Lu Jingshen walked straight to the middle seat and sat down, his brows furrowed.

"Who is responsible for security issues?" Lu Jingshen swept his cold voice across the people present.

"Boss!" The middle-aged man sitting at the entrance on the other side of the door stood up tremblingly.

Lu Jingshen's cold eyes swept over him, and the already trembling man broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

"Who is the person in charge of following up the project?" the cold voice continued to interrogate.

Another staff member was called to stand up.

“Who is the safety supervisor?”

The man wearing the safety helmet stood up.

"Why would we let workers work in areas without any safety precautions when we have always emphasized safety issues?" Lu Jingshen spoke in a low voice, suppressing his anger. No one present dared to say a word.

"At this critical moment, the safety hazard that we have been talking about happened, and you let the family members enter the construction site to cause trouble. If there is another safety problem and something falls from a high place and hits the family members, what do you say we will do? Even if you pay with your lives, it will not be enough to appease the people."

“The workers gathered in large numbers and we could not stop them,” one of the responsible persons explained.

"Can't you stop it? We keep stressing safety, but problems still happen. Do you think people are as stupid as you?"

"Why aren't you talking?"

There was still total silence. Lu Jingshen's suppressed anger exploded and he slammed the table and shouted loudly.

"You are all dead, aren't you?"

"Our president is here and is waiting for you in the office. If you have anything to say or any opinions, you can tell our president in person." Zuo Meng came in person to persuade the family members at Lu Jingshen's instruction. She was a white-haired old lady who was quietly wiping tears on the ground. The dead person was her son.

The old woman was quite reasonable and persuaded her daughter-in-law to go with Zuo Meng to the meeting room of the project department at the construction site.

Several people were guided to the conference room. Workers were gathered at the door. Also in the conference room were relevant persons in charge and personnel from the public security department.

"Who among you is Lu Jingshen?" The old woman's daughter-in-law sat on a chair as she entered the room, pointing at Lu Jingshen who was sitting there and questioning him. Her attitude was extremely bad and she looked arrogant. She didn't look sad at all after losing her husband, nor did she look like she had just cried loudly on the ground. Instead, she sounded like a shrew scolding in the street and asking for someone's name.

"I'm Lu Jingshen. I'm deeply sorry for your husband's accident. I've already arranged for the relevant compensation, and it will be handled as soon as possible."

Zuo Meng's phone rang, and at Lu Jingshen's signal, he went out to answer it.

"Deal with it? The person is gone just like that, and you guys have no responsibility at all? Do you think it's as simple as throwing money at him?"

Zuo Meng went out and briefly answered a phone call, then came back and gave Lu Jingshen a subtle look.

"The other things you think of will be handled by a dedicated person, so you don't need to worry about this matter. As for your husband's accident, our company will do its best to give you the consolation money without any reduction. I think there is no problem with this."

"Xiaoqin, since he has said so, there is nothing to make a fuss about. As long as he uses the money to guarantee the living security of you three mothers, that will be enough." The old woman was also persuading her daughter-in-law.

"He gave it to us just because he said so. Maybe he's just using it as an excuse to get rid of us." The woman didn't believe Zuo Meng's words at all.

"We want 10 million in cash. Just give us the money and we'll leave right away!" said the woman, putting her hands on her waist.
