0239 Numbers & Lives [From: 3000 Galaxy, 688 Title Plus 3/8]

Jonny is a worker at the Ristian daily chemical plant who lost part of their skin to a "accident" six years ago with some of his colleagues.

Yes, the skin, the hell knows that the gases produced by the chemical materials when heated will quickly erode their skin, and their exposed skin outside of their clothes is fumigated and quickly reddened, swollen, bubbled, and then the epidermis peels off.

The factory's claim at the time was that they made mistakes in production that had caused such serious consequences, including that they did not control the dosage precisely as required, that they did not follow the standard production process, that they did not wear all their work clothes and that they did not follow the accident standards in a timely manner after the accident.

It seems that the company's statement seems to be very reasonable, and there are rules to follow, but in fact, some of them, including Jonny, actually know that it is a new batch of materials, and they have done nothing wrong every step of the way, and they have strictly produced according to the requirements of the factory.

It's just that there were some mistakes in the formulation in the factory lab, so much so that it led to serious consequences.

As for why they agreed, it was because if they didn't agree, not only would they not get even a penny in compensation, but they would also have to be sued by the company in court.

Because of their operational errors, the company lost a lot of money, lost its image, and lost its workers.

Later, the union's lawyer told them that they had a good chance of winning the lawsuit, and just as everyone was about to rejoice, the lawyer told them again.

If they want to win this lawsuit, they may have to insist on a lengthy lawsuit that lasts about two to three years or so, as well as sky-high legal fees, and the money they can get in the end may not be enough to pay for the lawyer.

And at that time, their problem was already very serious, and one colleague was breathing heavily because of stress or other reasons at the time of the accident, so that his trachea and lungs were seriously damaged.

In the end, they had to sign the agreement with the help of the union's lawyers, and they admitted that it was their fault that caused the accident, and the company gave them some compensation based on the spirit of humanitarianism.

The money, which could only cover the initial medical bills, was thrown out of the hospital after less than three months, and then his wife divorced him, and his children refused to associate with him, shouting "Go away, monster" and dodging his every expectant hug.

He now lives in a welfare home, where his job is to wait for death to come, and to be pushed out to show his misery and the hardships of the orphanage when something big is coming.

Because of the loss of some skin, bacteria can easily multiply in his body.

In the early years, it was okay, he still had some money to do nursing, he could apply ointment, and his resistance was quite strong.

Not now, many of his bare muscles have turned black and some black circles have appeared, which is a sign of a serious infection, and the doctor told him that if he can't raise about 200,000 yuan in medical expenses in a short period of time, he may die of sepsis or organ failure anytime and anywhere.

This is already the sun he can see, not much.

Lying on a hospital bed in the courtyard, Jonny looked at the sky and thought, gray sky, he wanted to thank the company for at least providing them with goggles, so that his eyes could still see dimly.

After a while, he heard the dean's angry rebuke, heard a lot of noise around him, and even heard people's exclamations!

What are they shouting?

Mayor?

Is the mayor coming?

Jonny's eyes moved, and finally gave up, anyway, even if the mayor came, it would be of no use to him, it was better to enjoy more of a life that would end at any time.

You know, no one usually pushes him out of his room to enjoy nature.

Just one day later, on January 1 of the new year, the entire society of Sabin City was shocked by the report "Hell is empty, the devil is on earth!"

In fact, people have known about the existence of these groups for a long time, but they have always self-suggested that they cannot see them in various ways, and when someone tears their paralysis, they finally have to face the bloody reality.

The first person to react was the mayor, who deliberately chose this morning, pushed everything off and came to the welfare home to meet the victims of these accidents.

Immediately after that, some celebrities, some people with ulterior motives, as well as reporters and some citizens who watched the excitement gathered here.

In front of the public and reporters, the mayor expressed his shock, anger, and shock at these things!

The atmosphere was very solemn, but they didn't know that not far from them, there was a guy named Jonny who was lamenting the boredom of these people.

In fact, the mayor had known about these things for a long time, but the way he knew it was completely different from the way he knew it now, in the past, these people, no matter what they became, were probably a fraction of a certain number on a certain document.

Only a few, not all, no matter how threatened and dangerous their lives were, their names would not even appear on that document.

Whoever sees the words "11 injured people" will never imagine that these 11 people are not as simple as a broken finger and a white mark on their heads.

No matter how fresh life is, it can't dissolve the indifference of data, unless people can see it with their own eyes.

When Jonny came back to his senses, he only heard the mayor's last words - investigate to the end!

After a semi-impromptu speech, he felt that the time was almost up, and his attitude was reflected in front of the people, and to be honest, he had not thought of dealing with Neo like this before.

In essence, it is not only the Neo and Ristoan groups that are ugly, but also the workers' unions, the city hall and the entire apathetic society.

Probably based on this, he didn't think of using this trick, but Lynch did.

He called Lynch yesterday to inquire about it, and Lynch's answer surprised him a little.

At the time, Lynch said that instead of avoiding these issues, people would appreciate those who had the courage and responsibility and were willing to change, but they would also hate the silent perpetrators even more.

Silence cannot hide the crimes they have committed!

What's more, this can set up the Ristian Group as a negative example, and then no matter what happens to them, people will just be happy and take it for granted.

So what happened today, in fact, 70% of the speech that Jonny didn't pay attention to just now was the mayor's apology.

He apologized to the public and the media for the people who had been tortured and treated in this way over the years, apologized to this society, begged for forgiveness, and stood firm in his determination to bring certain people to justice.

His speech was a great success, and celebrities, journalists, and those watching the excitement applauded enthusiastically and looked forward to it.

It's just that everyone's expectations may be different.

Celebrities are looking forward to Risto's complete fall in the footsteps of Henghui, which is a rare opportunity for all walks of life in the whole society.

Regional pillar companies are not only good for a region, but in some ways, they are more harmful to society than they contribute to society.

Because they are based on their dominance in the regional financial economy, they almost endlessly plunder local resources to grow themselves, all the small and medium-sized enterprises that are "taken care of" by such enterprises are working for others all their lives, and they have no chance to develop and grow, because once they develop and grow, they will form a competitive situation with local pillar enterprises, and eventually lose and become a thing of the past.

Now that the stone that weighed on the merchant capitalists was about to be removed, they had no reason to be unhappy.

As for the others?

Journalists are excited that they get new big news, which means a huge social repercussion, more wealth and more personal impact.

As for ordinary people, they are more simply looking forward to seeing some people with money and power unlucky, that's all.

Under Mark's positive leadership, people began to have a certain "convention", and that was to donate.

It seems that any unfortunate thing can be turned into luck by initiating a donation, and at this point Jonny became focused, eager to figure out how much these people would donate and how much he could get to treat his body.

The mayor was out of sight at this point, and he walked to the edge of the crowd and stood with Lynch.

His assistant sent a handkerchief for him to wipe his hands, and the assistant found out that the mayor had secretly wiped his palms twice, and he should have sweated his palms due to emotions and other reasons.

"How did you come up with the idea to join this game?", the mayor asked with some curiosity, it was not convenient to talk on the phone yesterday, and some things were not easy to talk about on the phone, and now it is time to ask.

Lynch didn't joke or divert the topic, at this time he had to be clear about his position and demands, and try not to conflict with the demands of others, which is also an important process of forming a united force.

"I've got my eye on the machines in the Ristoan Group factory, the sewing machines, the cutting machines, the steam ironers and some other little things," Lynch turned to look at ......the mayor, "Do you think that the auction of all these things is enough to compensate these people for all these years of suffering?"

The mayor's eyelids jumped, and he was suddenly a little wary, "What do you want to do?"

Lynch spread his hands very indifferently, "I heard that President Ristoan's Neo is a supporter of the president's re-election, maybe we can take this opportunity to put a big news out!"

He had a more pointful smile on his face, "People need this!"
