Chapter 268: The Carefully Laid Trap

At this moment, on the unfinished construction site, Murong Yan, wearing a yellow safety helmet and followed by five or six people, was faced with hundreds of excited and clamorous migrant workers.

From time to time, government officials were also on site, trying to mediate.

Murong Yan had arrived here at ten o'clock and had been at a stalemate for four or five hours already. Not only had the situation not been resolved, it was showing signs of escalating.

Yesterday, a migrant worker fell from the scaffolding and died on the spot. Ming Guang Group immediately sent people to negotiate with the contractor responsible for the deceased worker. In the presence of the family, they offered more than two million in compensation and solatium, but the family made an exorbitant demand, asking for twenty million in cash on the spot.

Murong Yan's intention was clear: to resolve the matter quickly and not to affect the normal construction schedule.
