CHAPTER 474: CHAPTER 196: THE SU FAMILY’S CRISIS (PART 3)

"We’re still within the 72-hour window, there might still be a chance to rescue some people," the logistics manager was somewhat uncomfortable with Su Ziceng’s change in attitude, almost being lectured by a second-generation heir in their twenties with absolutely no experience in administrative management, which is an unpleasant feeling.

"I would like to ask, has anyone here actually been down to the mining area?" The speaker wasn’t Su Ziceng, but Han Fang, who was in charge of company safety affairs. He had been the safety manager for a while and seldom spoke at various meetings, but this time, he formally spoke at the meeting.

His voice still trembled slightly, unsure if it was because he was unaccustomed to speaking for the first time or for some other reason. "A water inrush incident, especially in deep coal mines. Lack of oxygen, along with the harsh environment, accompanied by turbid gases from the upper area, let alone 72 hours, at the very moment the accident occurs, it would cause significant casualties." If it weren’t for the Su Family’s years of mining operations, having a complete emergency evacuation route, and because the miners who went down were all veterans, a large number of people evacuated urgently when they sensed something amiss, the disaster would not have been limited to just a few casualties.

Han Fang’s voice no longer trembled; his father was a miner who had worked tirelessly for unscrupulous mine owners his whole life and tragically died of lung disease in a strange land. He had spent some time living in the mining area as a child. The black water and the perpetually unclear sky left an indelible painful impression on him.

"Compared to the daily fears of miners’ families, your hard work is fucking nothing," Han Fang couldn’t help but roll up his sleeves and punched the coffee-colored conference table.

Su Ziceng looked at Han Fang, and remembered the man with squinty eyes he first met, his eyes filled with tears, speaking with sincerity. She couldn’t help but raise her hand, intending to lead a round of applause as a sign of respect.

A steady round of applause followed, along with Su Qingzhang and Yan Wuxu, who walked in, and lastly, Secretary Wang, whose face looked somewhat dejected, nodded at Su Ziceng.

The secretary taking notes quickly handed the several resolutions being discussed at the meeting to Su Qingzhang.

Su Qingzhang glanced at them briefly and his eyes revealed an unbelievable shock, "Immediately notify the provincial government where the water inrush incident occurred, request imperial support, arrange for the necessary firefighting equipment.""Stop all advertising projects, hold an exclusive press conference, notify Huaxia Daily, issue an accident analysis report.""Release a public apology letter, soothe the families of the victims.""Strengthen the safety inspections of other mining areas" These measures made Yan Wuxu have mixed feelings.

The pleasure was that, as she expected, the Su Family indeed encountered a twist of fate, but the worry was that a once famous but now rotten Su Family fell into her hands, which could hardly be worth the effort.

"Tell me the reason for doing this," the appearance and counter-questioning of Su Qingzhang provided a reassurance for those senior executives present. The face-conscious Su Qingzhang probably did not wish the matter to be published just like that.

"I..." Su Ziceng being questioned in front of dozens of people, didn’t know how to start.

But from Su Qingzhang’s eyes, what she saw wasn’t accusations, his gaze was more about consultation, seeking her opinion.

Su Ziceng instinctively wanted to touch the Red Love hanging around her neck, "Because, the Su Family is a qualified company, a company with compassion and a sense of social responsibility, you can’t cover up the truth."

Su Ziceng’s response to these sudden events was not made up out of nowhere. Time had given her the best advice.

In the 90s, the globally renowned company Johnson experienced a similar "Tylenol Crisis", and unlike many companies, Johnson responded swiftly and shrewdly, sparing no expense in manpower and finances to tackle all issues following the incident.

The most important of these was transparency. Like Johnson, Su Ziceng knew that right now, if the Su Family were to hide this incident, it would only make things worse. Once the public discovered it later, it would no longer be a matter that simple condemnation could resolve.

"Those who agree with Vice Manager Su’s opinion, please raise your hand." Su Qingzhang scanned the dozens of people in the conference room.

Asking which point they agreed to, some managers asked each other. It was about agreeing to her plan, or that the Su Family is a qualified company.

A hand led the way, it was Su Qingzhang’s hand, raised without any hesitation, the first to be raised.

Seeing this, everyone as if awoken, hurriedly raised their hands.

"Let’s not delay, every department should immediately start working on the corresponding matters," Su Qingzhang empty-handed, walked out of the conference room. (To be continued.
