Upon hearing it, Forrest took the sandwich. “Get me a cup of coffee.”
“Alright.”
Stacey turned around with a smile. Soon, she came in with a cup of hot coffee. Then, she reported today’s situation, “President Lynch, the latest batch of laminated glass has been produced in the factory today. Previously, you said you wanted to inspect-“
“Get ready. I’ll head there in a while. Don’t let the factory know.”
Forrest promptly gave an order.
Stacey nodded. When she turned around and left, she stole a glance at the figure at the office desk.
The morning sun shone in through the French window. The man was dressed in a tailored black suit, emitting an aura of maturity. He had prominent features-dark and thick brows, charming double eyelids, and a tall nose. Coupled with his 1.9 -meter height, he looked like a nobleman despite coming from Melbourne. He could compare with those wealthy men in Canberra.
However, Forrest usually acted in a low-profile manner and always pulled a long face. He hardly smiled.
¨C According to Forrest’s employees, their young president was an expressionless person.
However, so what if he was expressionless? He was undeniably good-looking.
…
At 11:00 a.m.
Forrest arrived at Canberra Industrial Park.
PlayvolumeAd5 This was the production factory that Lynch Corporation had spent a huge amount of money building. Lynch Corporation focused on the production of automotive glass and industrial glass.
Lynch Corporation was relocated to Canberra, and behind their factory was an airport. There was a huge port a few kilometers away. Due to its efficient transport system, Lynch Corporation had gained popularity in other countries within a few months.
However, Lynch Corporation did not choose to be listed. It had been developing steadily under Forrest’s lead.
“President Lynch, this is our latest batch of laminated glass.”
The person in charge of the industrial park, Manager Woodward, brought Forrest and a few other people to the factory. There were quite a number of newly produced glass inside. “Compared to last year’s laminated glass, the new batch is not only safer and stronger, but it also has made a breakthrough in cutting off sound waves. I guarantee that this is certainly the best price for such glass on the market.
“Give it a try.”
Forrest gave the order nonchalantly.
An employee soon brought a hammer over and struck the glass. Only after six to seven strikes did a crack appear on the glass.
Stacey was dumbfounded. “Last time, the glass broke only after four strikes.”
Forrest nodded. “Try and break the glass.”
After the employee broke the glass, Forrest bent over to inspect the shards.
If the glass shards hurt one’s hands, it would mean that the glass was not good enough.
“President Lynch, do you need me to do this?” Stacey was uneasy.
“No worries. The glass is good. It’s very smooth.” Forrest touched the glass shards as he pondered.
A few employees from the factory carried several panes of glass over from the entrance.
They put the glass on the side and soon left.
There were already many panes of glass. Now that several more panes were added and they were not placed properly to begin with, the glass panes suddenly fell on Forrest, who was squatting.
“President Lynch, be careful!”
Stacey was shocked. She promptly rushed forward to push Forrest away. The glass then fell onto her. When more than ten panes of glass suddenly fell, the shards cut into Stacey’s skin.
“Ah!” Stacey screamed in pain.
Forrest’s expression shifted. He hurriedly had someone call the ambulance. Then, he extracted the shards from Stacey’s skin together with the manager and other employees.
After over ten minutes, the ambulance arrived. The medical staff carried Stacey, who was covered with blood, into the car.
Forrest and Manager Woodward went along.
During the journey, Forrest’s handsome face was icy, causing Manager Woodward to feel extremely chilly. “President… Lynch, I’m sorry. My subordinates were too careless. I’ll fire them when I get back.”
“Weren’t those laminated glass?” Forrest asked sternly.
“They… They were just ordinary glass,” Manager Woodward said with a low voice, “They haven’t been processed.”
“You had the unprocessed glass and the newly produced laminated glass put together. What a great arrangement.”
Forrest’s voice was not loud but cold and sharp. Those who were familiar with him knew his temper very well. When he was mad, he would not shout. Nevertheless, those who had offended him would suffer terrible consequences.
“President Lynch, I’m sorry. There has been a lot of stock in the factory lately, and we don’t have the space for now. That’s why-“
“Aren’t you worried that confusion will arise when it comes to moving the stock?” Forrest said frostily, “What did I tell you back then? Glass factories have safety hazards. As a manager, not only do you need to ensure good production, but you also need to guarantee everyone’s safety. Although the employees of the factory are responsible for their negligence, you are to blame as well. Since you can’t guarantee the company’s safety, I doubt your ability.”
Manager Woodward’s face paled.
“When you go back, hand over your work to someone else. You’ll be transferred to the production department for the time being.” Forrest gave the order grimly. “Any objections?”
“N-No.”
Manager Woodward would not be so foolish as to talk back to Forrest because he would be in trouble if he lost his job.
What was more, he dared not imagine what the consequences would be if Forrest were the one who was injured today. He might have lost his job.
“Ah. It hurts so badly…”
All of a sudden, Stacey, who was lying at the side, cried out miserably while suppressing her pain.
“Hang in there. There’s quite a lot of glass on your legs.”
The nurse at the side used tweezers to pick up the glass shards. “Can both of you hold her down and stop her from moving around?”
When he lifted his head and saw Forrest holding Stacey down impassively, his mouth twitched.
After all, the woman sacrificed her life to save Forrest, yet Forrest’s expression remained cold. He really showed no sympathy for her at all.
He could at least offer her some consolation at a time like that.
Nevertheless, Forrest stiffened without saying a word. All he did was purse his thin lips grimly as Stacey held his hand.
When they arrived at the hospital, Forrest gave a call to the office and had the human resources department get in touch with Stacey’s emergency contact.
An hour later, Stacey came out of the emergency room. The nurse had helped her change her previously bloodstained shirt into a set of clean clothes. However, her originally translucent cheeks were pale, and her legs and hands were all bandaged.
“Stacey, how did you get injured?”
A middle-aged couple suddenly ran in through the door. They were dressed luxuriously and wearing a branded, expensive-looking watch.
As soon as the middle-aged woman caught sight of Stacey, her eyes reddened. “What on earth happened at work?”
Forrest frowned. He recalled meeting the middle-aged couple during the banquet last year. It seemed like the man was an investment company’s president whose last name was Childs.
“President Childs, it turns out that Assistant Childs is your daughter.” Forrest’s face tensed up, and he said apologetically, “I’m very sorry. An accident happened when I took Assistant Childs to the industrial park for an inspection. As the glass was falling onto me, Assistant Childs pushed me away in time, but the glass fell and injured her instead.”
President Childs raised his hand without saying anything to Forrest. Then, he turned his eyes sorrowfully to the doctor at the side. “How’s my daughter?”
“Her right leg is fractured.” The doctor flipped open the medical record. “Other injuries are just minor, but… there are quite a lot of injuries on her leg. Some parts need stitches, so there are bound to be scars. Having said that, the medical aesthetics field is very advanced these days. There are still ways of removing the scars.”
“Oh, my daughter. I told you not to work in Lynch Corporation, yet you insisted on doing it. We have a company too.” Mrs. Childs was heartbroken. “Forrest, I don’t care about anything else, but you have to bear the responsibility for this. My daughter got injured at work, and it was because she wanted to save you.”
Stacey promptly pulled her mother’s hand. “Mom, I did it voluntarily…”
