Chapter 401 Bringing the Williamson’s down
At these words, Wyon was startled.
He jerked to his feet and turned towards the floor-to-ceiling windows, only to see that twenty-seven floors down, the entrance to the company was really full of people at the moment.
The floor was really too far apart and he could not hear the shouts from downstairs, but he could vaguely tell that each of these people looked very agitated and even fierce.
“Quick! Get all the security guards, we must not let these people in!” His brow furrowed as he immediately gave the order.
The assistant hastily responded, “Arrangements have been made, and the security guards are now stopping them at the entrance, but there are just too many of them, and everyone is so agitated that it’s hard to pacify them, and it looks like if we don’t settle their wages now, they’re going to stay at the entrance and not leave.”
Wyon was annoyed: “I’m not the one who owes them money for their work! What about the contractor? Can’t he be contacted?”
The assistant was full of anxiety, but also very helpless: “Can not be contacted, we called countless phone calls, at first no one answered, then the number was directly canceled. I sent someone to investigate, the contractor has run away with the money, and has long since left Sea City, no one knows where he is now!”
“Then why don’t you hurry up and call the police?” When Wyon heard this, he exploded with anger.
But the assistant looked at him with embarrassment: “President, this is a matter that affects the whole situation, originally we had contractor with problems, plus now there are problems with the building material supplier, and our purchase of inferior building materials is also exposed, if we report to the police, then the Williamson’s will also be involved, this… …”
Wyon was anxious and did not think about it so much, but now he realized the seriousness of the matter.
But the money for these workers was not a small amount, and now that the Williamson’s had no liquidity at all, how could he settle it?
At that moment, he gritted his teeth and said in a stern voice, “We must find a way to get these workers out of here! What’s the point of making such a scene in front of the Williamson’s! It’s a disgrace! As for the contractor, send someone to track him down, no matter where he has escaped to, he must be found!”
Faced with this instruction, the assistant was in a difficult position.
“President, I don’t think it is useless to have the contactor back. The contractor can run away with the money, the money is bound to not to be back, not to mention, in the first place, these workers signed a contract with us, not the contractor, the contractor is just a bridge. This matter, in the final analysis, still needs us to solve. I think that they will not give up until they have achieved their goal ……”
Irritated by what he said, Wyon swept the ashtray from the table to the floor with a dull thud on the carpet.
“Is there a better way?” He roared in anger, “I don’t care what method you use, in any case, this matter is in your hands! It must be done!”
The assistant did not dare to breathe, but could only turn around to do it.
But what neither of them expected was how quickly public opinion on the matter became widespread.
In just half an hour’s time, the news that “The Williamson Group owed workers money” had already been pushed to the top of the search.
At the same time, it was not known who broke the story that the Coastline Resort uses poor quality building materials and was now high on the hot seat, second only to the previous one in terms of heat.
In a flash, the Williamson Group was rushed to the forefront and the internet was full of doubts.
“A group as heady as the Williamson Group is also engaging in this kind of shady things?”
“Really? Is this revelation credible?”
“When I passed by the Williamson’s today, I guessed who gathered around there, it turned out to be workers, defaulting on workers’ wages is too much ……”
“How many of these conglomerates are not black-hearted? It’s just a question of whether to expose it or not, the Williamson’s is powerful in the capital, maybe this is just the tip of the iceberg, I am waiting for its more news!”
“I am shocked.”
“The same.”
When Wyon saw these remarks, he was so angry that he almost had a brain haemorrhage, Cameron Williamson his father almost lost his breath.
He made a phone call, unable to control his rising blood pressure, and cursed through the microphone.
“What’s going on? How did you stir up such a big mess? I gave you the company and this is how you manage it?”
Wyon felt confused too, and pressed his forehead, his brow knitted, and he lost all his previous complacency.
“Dad, don’t worry, I’ll settle it as soon as I can.”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Settle? How do you intend to settle it?” Cameron pursued, “Things have come to this point, the Williamson’s has never been so humiliated!”
He was so angry that he slapped the table repeatedly, his face red with curses.
“Look what you’ve done! A scandal like buying inferior building materials can be exposed, what reputation will the Williamson’s have in the future? You’re a failure to achieve anything!”
Wyon gritted his teeth, resisted the urge to smash the phone and spoke in a dumb voice, “I didn’t want this to happen to the Williamson’s either, but now that it has, we have to find a way to solve the problem. Dad, what’s the use of you scolding me? It’s only a waste of time.”
Seeing Wyon contradict him, Cameron was so angry.
“Well, well! You have your own attitude now, I can’t even tell you what to do! Fine, I’ll see how you’re going to solve this matter! If you can solve it, I’ll kick you out of the family tree! The glory of the family for so many years will be cut short by you!”
Having said that, he hung up the phone.
Wyon was unpleasant.
He barely managed to calm himself down and called his assistant back in.
“Go to the PR department and tell them to find a way to remove the hot search immediately, lower the heat, and forbid the media from talking about it anymore!”
The assistant was now busy, but he did not dare to say anything, so he did as he was told.
But what he didn’t expect was that the buzz was so high that no matter how much the PR people tried to press it, it was useless.
When Wyon found out, he was so angry that he kicked his desk hard.
“How could this happen? Don’t those media want to live anymore? How dare to go against the Williamson’s!”
The assistant’s heart trembled and he replied stiffly, “President, this matter should be directed by someone behind the scenes, with the aim of bringing the Williamson’s down ……”
