After the fight between the security guards and the stall owners, Rooney Group fired the guards who had become involved due to the pressure of public opinion and had to recruit a new group to the company. Henry was sure that the people behind the plot had gotten the current group to work for them.
After the incident, it turned out that two of their security guards had vanished without a trace and their personal information was completely fake. It was only then that Henry realized that someone had been playing him!
But, it was already too late. News of the Ronney Group defaulting on the wages of migrant workers had already become headline news on social media and had been forwarded over a hundred thousand times. On the other hand, the official clarification post was only read by less than a hundred users. The company could not clear the blame that had been wrongly placed on them.
A Forbes 500 company and the king of luxury products had actually defaulted on the wages of its migrant workers! It was indeed true that behind the vermillion gates, meat and wine went to waste, while out on the road lay the bones of the frozen!
Recently, the Ronney Group had been the topic of a lot of negative news. They beat up stall owners; defaulted on migrant workers’ wages; were called out for discriminating against women; and their fashion week venue got rejected. There were rumors among celebrities in Bayside City that the Ronney Group had fallen prey to Daniel.
Master Levine’s skill was indeed extraordinary. He was capable of altering the Feng Shui within minutes, turning a highly demanded land into stigmatized property! It was also said that after Daniel’s strike, even the price of property near the company had fallen.
Who was Daniel? He was a well-known metaphysics grandmaster! The highest priest of the country! It was their family who had hosted the proclamation ceremony of the country!
When the incident went viral, someone found Daniel and asked for his opinion. But, all he did was act innocent. “What? Changing the Feng Shui of the Ronney Group? I didn’t do it! It was the subway construction company who had hired me to find them a lucky day before they started their construction work!”
However, no matter what he said, the series of inauspicious events the company had been experiencing had been blamed on Daniel. Nevertheless, Daniel knew in his own heart that he really did not do anything and was indeed there to find the best day for the construction of the subway line.
The traffic congestion was just a coincidence. However, every road was a road to wealth. If one wanted to be rich, one needed to repair the road. Now that the road in front of the Ronney Group had been blocked, their fortune had been blocked too, so naturally, they would not have any good fortune.
As to why the company could not pass the procedures, one would have to find out from the Yard Family themselves. They were a foreign company that caused a ruckus right after they entered the Cethosian market and offended a lot of people. It was their fault that they had failed to keep a low profile. Even Daniel had never seen such an arrogant foreign company before!
Comparatively, the Michel Group was much smarter. They followed every instruction given by the higher authorities and kept a low profile. With what happened to the Ronney Group, Sophia’s Bayside Fashion Week progressed even smoother. The higher authorities funded them and gave them all the necessary permissions. She had also decided on the venue of the fashion week and held it in the name of promoting domestic fashion. She was determined to promote Cethos’ luxury fashion brands to the world and create a bio-chain in the fashion industry of Cethos. One could see that she was very ambitious and a person who wanted to do great things!
When the Ronney Group first entered the local market, they were undefeatable. The country was eagerly in need of someone who could compete against the company.
Sophia also didn’t fail to speak her mind as to the matter of the migrant workers.
“Those migrant workers came to work in the city for a whole year. They carried steel bars every day, earning money with their own blood and sweat. It was so hard for them and how dare the contractor default on their payment! Now that the new year is around the corner, it would be miserable and pitiful for them to go back home empty-handed when their wives and children are waiting for them! So, I told them that I know the security guards at the Ronney Group and that they are allowed to put up a banner on the rooftop. The building is tall and anyone would be able to see it from afar. I was sure that the contractor would see it. That was why they went there! Can’t you guys see that I’m just trying to be nice? Look! The wages that had been defaulted for months were finally paid. The migrant workers also had no choice. They could only make a big deal out of things to get back their money. This society…”
From what Michael observed, Sophia was extremely brilliant. As expected from the daughter-in-law of my family!
