Chapter 1199
Fang Mu and Fang Zhiyi hurried into a newly built community. The roads in the community were empty, except for a few owners holding keys and preparing to renovate.
Fang Mu brought several construction project managers from the company to a seemingly lifeless vacant building.
The exterior wall of the building still had traces of dust left over from the construction, and the windows stared blankly at the desolation.
He frowned and ordered the workers to randomly choose a wall to start destroying. The workers picked up heavy hammers and hit the wall violently, cracking the wall skin and revealing the red bricks inside.
This community, which is only five stories high, should have been very strong if qualified red bricks were used.
However, when the workers dug out the red bricks from the wall, the truth of everything was revealed. These red bricks were of poor quality and fragile.
Fang Mu gently broke the red bricks, and they broke in half easily. It was simply unimaginable that they were used to support the weight of the building.
"What the hell is going on?"
Fang Mu's voice was full of anger and confusion. He turned around and stared at Kong Changming fiercely.
The company's purchasing rights were all given to Fang Youwei. Now that Fang Youwei was arrested, he could only ask Kong Changming.
"Boss, Mr. Fang asked you what price range of bricks you wanted. You said the cheaper the better, and you wanted to lower the construction cost." Kong Changming responded with a hint of fear.
Fang Mu felt dizzy and his face was as pale as paper.
"I said I want cheap bricks, but the quality must at least pass! How can such bricks be used to build houses?"
Kong Changming secretly mocked in his heart: Want cheap and good bricks, where in the world is such a good thing?
Fang Mu trembled and asked: "Do all the communities we built use this kind of bricks?"
His voice was full of despair.
"Most of them." Kong Changming replied in a low voice, "The five communities built recently all use this cheap red brick. Although the previous communities used slightly better bricks, but..."
Kong Changming's answer was as heavy as a verdict.
Fang Mu closed his eyes, and a deep despair surged in his heart.
At this time, Kong Changming added: "There are two middle schools in the suburbs, which were also built by us. We built those two schools for free. Mr. Fang said that since it is free, we should use the cheapest materials."
Hearing this, Fang Mu seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and his whole body was stiff.
Originally thought that it was just a problem in the community, he might be able to cover it up, but involving two schools, this is simply the beginning of a nightmare.
He stood in the wind, looking at the community he built with his own hands, his heart was filled with endless regret and fear.
Fang Mu's face showed a ferocious smile in rage, "Very good, very good."
His voice was full of sarcasm and anger, and he wanted to drag Fang Youwei out of the cell and deal with him on the spot.
"What are you still standing there for?"
He turned around and shouted coldly at the top executives of Fangyuan Group.
"Control the media immediately and block the news. We can still deal with the problems of the residential area, but the problems of the town middle school must not be exposed! Otherwise, none of you can escape responsibility."
The senior executives present looked at each other, their hearts full of bitterness. They were just ordinary employees, but now they were involved in this storm and had no choice.
Fang Mu knew that Meng Haisheng must be behind this storm, and he was determined to fight Meng Haisheng to the end.
He would not easily give in to difficulties like Fang Youwei.
He immediately summoned reporters and held an emergency press conference, trying to deal with the crisis with a positive attitude.
Under the spotlight, Fang Mu had a sincere smile on his face, and his voice was calm and firm.
"Regarding the problems of building materials in several communities developed by Fangyuan Group, we will conduct a comprehensive self-inspection."
"If there are unqualified houses, we will provide temporary housing for the owners and ensure that there are no hidden dangers in the houses before moving in."
"All the expenses incurred will be borne by Fangyuan Group."
It has to be said that Fang Mu's positive attitude towards rectification is still very good.
But this involves thousands of households. Can Fang Mu really do what he promised? He is just painting a big pie for the owners, trying to calm the public's anxiety.
And Meng Haisheng will never give Fang Mu a chance to breathe. He has already laid more chess pieces in secret.
At dusk, the safety issues of the two town middle schools became the focus of the news.
On the screen, the children were running carefree on the playground, and the children chatting and playing during the break in the corridor, a harmonious campus scene.
However, this joyful atmosphere was broken by the sudden picture change. The camera went deep into an empty classroom, where several workers in work clothes were trying to install radiators.
Their movements seemed a bit strenuous, and the screws on the hanging radiator were pulled out by hand.The wall was loose and could not support the weight at all.
The workers looked solemn as they carefully dug a hole in the wall, revealing the fragile and inferior red bricks inside.
"How is this possible?" a worker complained angrily, "It can't even hold a screw. The bricks are as brittle as tofu."
Although the report on the quality problems of the community broadcast by the TV station in the morning attracted some attention, most people just watched from the sidelines. However, when the same problem appeared in the two town middle schools, the public reaction was completely different.
The parents' concerns and anger quickly heated up. Thinking that their children were attending classes in dangerous buildings that could collapse at any time every day, they could no longer remain silent.
The next morning, the parents gathered in front of the school with anger. They held banners and looked serious, demanding that the school suspend classes immediately and thoroughly check the safety of the teaching building.
The school leaders were also scalp-numbing.
Looking back on the heavy rain last year, it was a blessing that the school was not destroyed by the heavy rain. Now thinking back, they can't help but be afraid.
As long as it involves children, any little thing can make the pot explode.
Students from the two middle schools were forced to temporarily suspend classes for two days. On the one hand, the school was eager to contact Fangyuan Group to solve the problem, and on the other hand, it was looking for a third-party agency to conduct an urgent quality inspection.
Fangyuan Group’s affairs gave Fang Mu a splitting headache, and he could not care about Fang Youwei at all.
Even if Fang Youwei asked someone to bring a message to meet Fang Mu, Fang Mu refused on the pretext that he had no time.
He was really afraid that he would strangle Fang Youwei to death if he saw him now.
It was Fang Youwei’s ignorance that harmed Fangmu Group and the Fang family.
Meng Haisheng released the evidence in his hands bit by bit, which directly made Fang Mu suffer.
The entire Fangyuan Group became shaky overnight.
Fang Mu had no way to clean up such a big mess. Meng Haisheng had been making trouble for him. Even if he wanted to find a relationship to suppress the matter, it was useless.
"Fang Mu, what can I say to you? Your company has been in trouble recently. Even if I want to help you, I dare not mention it to my old boss now."
Director Ma looked at Fang Mu with a sad face and said, and directly refused to help.
Anyone who dares to interfere in Fangyuan Group's affairs now is equivalent to going against Meng Haisheng and Shi Rongjin.
Anyone who still wants to rise in his position will not risk offending Shi Rongjin and ruining his career.
"Now you only have one way, let the Qu family come forward to help. If I remember correctly, Meng Haisheng and the Qu family have always had a good relationship. If you let the Qu family help mediate, maybe he can let you go."
Fang Mu smiled bitterly in his heart. His relationship with the Qu family is now delicate, and Qu Lingfeng obviously doesn't want to lend a hand.
