Chapter 34 Unexpected Situations

In the chairman's office.

Martin James sat in the boss's chair and, Michael Bess stood at the table.

"Mr. James, you just said you had something to ask me." Michael Bess said.

"Michael Bess, remember the girl I brought to the company yesterday? Can you go to her house in the name of Gold Group charity, help her mother find a good hospital for the best treatment, and give her a grant? The money will be paid by the company." Martin James said.

"That girl yesterday? Mr. James, are you going to help her again? Do you really like this girl?" Michael Bess said with a smile.

Michael Bess still remembered clearly what happened yesterday. And now Martin James asked him to help the girl. He could not blame Michael Bess for not being paranoid.

"Well, I just feel sorry for her. She needs my help." Martin James said awkwardly.

"Hey, hey, chairman, don't explain. I've been there, and I'm sure there's nothing wrong." Michael Bess said with a smile.

After hearing what Michael Bess said, he couldn't help ask himself if he really did fell in love with Janet Brown.

Martin James only knew one thing. That was, he wanted Janet Brown to live a good life and not let her suffer any more.

Michael Bess continued:

"Chairman, why did you hide your identity from her? You obviously helped her with the sponsorship yesterday, but you didn't let her know. This time you asked me to do it again, so she didn't even know that you were helping her, and she didn't even know how kind you were to her."

In Michael Bess's view, Martin James should tell her the truth. That he was the one helping her, so as to let Janet Brown know that Martin James was good to her.

"All right, don't worry about it; just do what I tell you to do." Martin James glanced at Michael Bess.

"Yes! Mr. James, don't worry, I'll take care of it." Michael Bess nodded.

"By the way, when we were downstairs, you said you had something important to report to me. What was it?" Martin James asked.

When Michael Bess heard this, his face immediately became serious.

"Mr. James. There's been an accident at the construction site of the Aerial garden estate." Michael Bess had a dignified expression.

"Is something wrong?"

Martin James was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked:

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

From Martin James's point of view, Michael Bess's expression was so dignified that if something really happened, it must be a big deal!

"The scaffolding at the construction site was tampered with, resulting in more than a dozen workers being killed at the scene." Michael Bess had a dignified complexion.

"What?! More than a dozen workers died!" Martin James's eyes twitched violently.

More than a dozen lives, this was definitely not a minor accident.

"Michael, you just said that the scaffolding was tampered with. What's going on? Who did it?" Martin James hastened to ask.

"Chairman, I just went to the construction site to survey, and the scaffolding has indeed been tampered with. If I guessed correctly, it could be caused by the Mars Group!" Michael Bess said.

"Mars Group!"

Martin James's eyes suddenly squinted and there was a startling chill in his eyes.

Martin James is a native of California City where people knew the Mars Group.

Mars Group was a local group of California City.

The Mars Group was involved in a wide range of industries, but the main and most profitable business of the Mars Group was real estate.

It can be said that all the local people of California City knew the Mars Group.

When it came to the Mars Group, Horace Edie, the chairman of the group, was a legendary figure.

Horace Edie was famous in the 1990s. At that time, he became famous for his ferocity in California City, and finally became the leader of the underground forces of California City.

After entering the 21 century, Horace Edie began to turn into industry.

Ten years ago, when the real estate business was booming, Horace Edie went into real estate. With the fact that he was the leader of the underground forces of California City, coupled with his ferocious means, he soon became the owner of the strongest local real estate group of California City.

"Mr. James. As you may not know, since the establishment of the California City branch of Gold Group, Mars Group has regarded us as mortal enemies."

"It is only because of the strength of our Gold Group that the Mars Group does not dare to deal with us with great fanfare. But they have been working behind our backs, and our branch has suffered a lot of losses in recent years." Michael Bess said.

After a pause, Michael Bess continued: "Including this incident, apart from the Mars Group, I can't think of anyone else who will deliberately mess with us."

When Martin James heard this, he understood.

"His Mars Group is only a local group. Can it be as good as our Gold Group? Our Gold Group is the largest group in California. Can't we beat them?" Martin James squinted.

"Mr. James, Mars Group is our biggest commercial enemy in California City; of course we want to defeat Mars Group." Michael Bess said.

Then Michael Bess took a turn and said with a wry smile:

"However, as the saying goes, strong dragons cannot overwhelm local snakes. Although our Gold Group is strong, Horace Edie, as a local snake, is deeply rooted in California City, and they are not easy to get rid of it."

"As long as the Gold Group is determined to destroy him, I don't believe it can't be destroyed!" Martin James said coldly.

"If Mr. Gracie is determined to kill him, there will be no problem, but the business of the Gold Group covers dozens of cities. Mr. Gracie is a very busy man, so he doesn't have the time to deal with him." Michael Bess said.

After a pause, Michael Bess continued.

"Even if Mr. Gracie did it himself, it would be troublesome to root out local snakes like the Mars Group, at least at a price greater than the reward."

"Is that so?" Martin James nodded suddenly.

To put it simply, Gold Group Corporation would certainly have no problem if it was determined to destroy Mars Group. But they were just a branch of the Gold Group.

Just then, the account manager hurried in and said eagerly as he ran:

"Chairman James, Mr. Bess, it's not good!"

Such words made Martin James and Michael Bess feel bad in their hearts. Was something bad happening again?

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a panic? Say it!" Michael Bess urged.

"Mr. James, Mr. Bess. Our customer service is being bombarded by phone calls. Many users who have bought houses in Aerial garden have asked for a refund their money." The account manager said anxiously.

"Refund? Why?" Michael Bess frowned and asked.

"They say that more than a dozen people have died in the Aerial garden real estate, and they don't want any death in the real estate. So, they have to back out." The account manager said anxiously.

"How many customers have called?" Michael Bess continued to ask.

"So far, there have been 70 or 80, and the phone calls are still coming in." The account manager said eagerly.

Michael Bess's face grew more serious when he heard this.

Martin James's face also did not look very good. As the chairman of the company, Martin James was of course exasperated and anxious about such a thing.

At this time, the project manager hurried in and said:

"Mr. James, Mr. Bess, it's not good! No!"

"What now?" Michael Bess asked hurriedly.

"Aerial garden sales office got a call from a lot of customers who have bought a house. They all wanted to back out! They did not want to die in the real estate. The sales office is getting out of control!" The project manager said eagerly.

After hearing this, Michael Bess and Martin James looked even worse. The situation was even worse than they thought.

Martin James also squinted and said: "It's not even a day since people were killed at the construction site and these customers already knew? How is that possible!"

"Mr. James, you don't have to think about it. It must have been the Mars Group. They must have conveyed the news to those customers!" Michael Bess gritted his teeth.

"Isn't this Mars group just trying to get us into trouble? In order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to kill more than a dozen workers, a real inhumane beast!" Martin James said viciously.

Martin James was not only angry with the Mars group for mischief, but also angry with the Mars group for being inhumane.

Martin James's father, who used to be a construction worker, lost his life in an accident at the construction site!

So when, Martin James heard the news, he was very angry. Behind these more than ten lives, they might have left more than a dozen families.
