Chapter 923: The real purpose is to demolish the building.
After much deliberation, Huang Xiaochuan made up his mind.
He walked quickly to the desk and pressed the intercom: "Come in for a moment."
Soon, Takamatsu appeared in the office.
"Mr. Huang!"
Huang Xiaochuan instructed, "Notify lawyer Chen Mingyuan and Zhou Chengyu from the Sany Foundation to come see me."
"Okay, I'll contact them right away."
Huang Xiaochuan came up with a plan. Although it would offend some people, he cared about the lives of those minors. Besides, those people weren't exactly good people. Moving them to another place to make them repent was a good option.
Chen Mingyuan soon arrived at Huang Xiaochuan's office.
Chen Ming was the closest, so he was the first to arrive.
"Attorney Chen is here!" Gao Song immediately stood up to greet Chen Mingyuan when he saw him.
"Hello, Minister Gao!" Chen Mingyuan quickly shook hands with Gao Song.
Gao Song didn't bother with pleasantries with Chen Mingyuan and said directly, "Mr. Huang is waiting for you, please come in!" He then led Chen Mingyuan into the boss's office.
"Mr. Huang, Attorney Chen has arrived."
Huang Xiaochuan was sitting at the tea table brewing tea when he heard this, and gestured to the person opposite him: "Sit!"
Chen Mingyuan quickly went over and sat down. Gao Song knew that the two must have something to talk about, so he took the initiative to go out and closed the door behind him.
Huang Xiaochuan poured Chen Mingyuan a cup of tea, which made Chen Mingyuan feel flattered. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Huang!"
Huang Xiaochuan got straight to the point: "I have a Sany Foundation under my name, which has been focusing on building primary and secondary schools in remote mountainous areas of southwestern provinces for more than ten years. Now we have encountered a problem..."
Huang Xiaochuan's plan is to use the lawsuit as a pretext to uncover the truth, and then arrange for authoritative structural experts to re-evaluate the two schools, taking into account multiple factors such as geological conditions, to find a way to determine that the two schools are unqualified. This way, the two schools can be demolished. As long as these two schools are still there, the risk factor is extremely high. There are at least several hundred children in these two schools. Huang Xiaochuan doesn't even want to think about what might happen.
However, he knew that this was extremely difficult, but even so he went ahead without hesitation, because it involved the lives of hundreds of children!
Zhou Chengyu arrived quickly, standing in front of Huang Xiaochuan, his brows covered in sweat.
Huang Xiaochuan looked at him expressionlessly, and after a long while, said, "Sit down!"
Zhou Chengyu was under immense pressure because he knew that his negligence had led to the misappropriation of the foundation's donations, and he bore a great deal of responsibility.
However, what he didn't know was that Huang Xiaochuan wasn't concerned about the money, but rather worried that the building's strength wasn't guaranteed, and that his life might be in danger in the event of a disaster.
Huang Xiaochuan directly instructed: "You contact some authoritative structural experts in China. I don't care what methods you use, you must get these experts to determine that these two schools are unqualified."
Zhou Chengyu was quite surprised when he heard this, because judging from the current situation, the building quality met the standards, but it did not meet the design requirements put forward by the foundation at the time, because the money saved was very likely to have ended up in the pockets of some people.
His responsibility, to put it bluntly, was causing unnecessary loss of the foundation's donated funds, and he was prepared to bear the consequences. However, when he came here today, the big boss was not holding him accountable, but instead made this unexpected request.
Seeing that Zhou Chengyu and Chen Mingyuan still hadn't grasped his meaning, he said directly, "Only by determining that these school buildings are substandard can we file a lawsuit and hold them accountable. Otherwise, how can we recover this money?"
Zhou Chengyu and Chen Mingyuan then realized what was going on, but neither of them knew that Huang Xiaochuan's real intention was to demolish the school buildings on the grounds that they were substandard, and then send those people in.
Huang Xiaochuan gave Zhou Chengyu a cold look: "I'm giving you a chance to make amends. I hope you can seize it."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chengyu felt as if he had seen a lifeline, and his heart was filled with hope.
"Mr. Huang, I understand, I know what to do." After saying that, he secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Chen Mingyuan then understood that they were using the substandard construction as an excuse to recover the misappropriated donations, but he only thought of part of the reason.
Before Zhou Chengyu could even catch his breath, Huang Xiaochuan gave him another order.
"Zhou Chengyu, I'm only giving you ten days to get this done."
Zhou Chengyu was immediately dumbfounded. Ten days?
Huang Xiaochuan ignored him and turned to Chen Mingyuan, saying, "As long as the building is deemed substandard, you can file a lawsuit immediately. An out-of-court settlement is possible, but the condition is that the substandard school building must be demolished. There's no room for negotiation on that. I'll only give you one month to assemble a legal team to assist you in this matter."
Chen Mingyuan was stunned. Demolish the school buildings? And assemble a legal team? Was that really necessary?
But Huang Xiaochuan's subsequent words made him understand the reason.
"The Sany Foundation has donated to build more than 200 schools in total, and will continue to do so in the future. If we don't handle this so firmly, this kind of thing will not be the last time. I want some people to know that they should not try to take advantage of the Sany Foundation's donations. If they dare to reach out, they should be prepared to go to jail."
Isn't this the principle of striking once to avoid a hundred blows? Chen Mingyuan thought he understood the boss's idea.
Similarly, Zhou Chengyu also thought so.
This was exactly the effect Huang Xiaochuan wanted: to steer the whole matter onto the moral high ground of protecting the reputation of the Sany Foundation and preventing the misappropriation of donated funds. Although this might not eliminate any future suspicions he might have, it was the best solution he could think of.
The two then left the office and immediately began arranging their respective tasks. Time was extremely tight, and they had to make the most of every second.
After finishing his work, Huang Xiaochuan went home as usual.
As soon as I entered the house, I witnessed another scene of motherly love and filial piety.
Yu Xiang was questioning the little girl with a feather duster in her hand, while the little girl, looking terrified, held a book on her head and hid in the corner of the living room.
All that could be heard was Yu Xiang's angry rebuke: "Should I hit you or not?"
Unexpectedly, the little girl mustered up the courage to retort to her mother: "If beatings worked, all the monks from Shaolin Temple could get into Tsinghua and Shanghai Dan."
Good heavens, those words almost made Huang Xiaochuan throw up his back.
As expected, Yu Xiang was so angry that her neck turned red, and she grabbed a feather duster to discipline the little girl.
Huang Xiaochuan quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Calm down, calm down."
When the little girl saw her savior return, she clung to him like a lifeline, immediately slithering behind her father like an eel. She then peeked out and continued arguing with her mother, "My skinny arms and legs are going to be beaten into meatballs by you!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiang was so angry that she tried to grab the little girl hiding behind the man, but the man kept protecting her. She could only ask, "Then do you know why I hit you?"
The little girl knew perfectly well what was going on: "I just slipped up this time and didn't do well on the test. I'll do better next time."
Huang Xiaochuan quickly chimed in, "Yes! Yes! Just do better next time, give him another chance!"
Yu Xiang angrily threw a feather duster at the man: "You're such a spoiled father, you'll only spoil your daughter! Don't come looking for me when you cause trouble in the future."
After saying that, she stormed upstairs in a huff.
Huang Xiaochuan threw the feather duster he was holding onto the sofa and asked the little girl, "What score did you get? Why is your mother so angry?"
