Johnny is a worker in the ristoan daily chemical factory. In an "accident" six years ago, he and some of his colleagues lost part of their skin.

Yes, skin. Who knows that the gas generated by those chemical materials after heating will quickly erode their skin. Their skin exposed outside their clothes will quickly become red, swollen, bubble and then fall off after fumigation.

The factory said at that time that their mistakes in production had caused such serious consequences, including their failure to accurately control the dose as required, failure to produce according to the standard process, their failure to wear all work clothes neatly, and their failure to timely handle the accident on site according to the accident standard after the accident.

It seems that the company's statement is very reasonable, and each one has rules to follow, but in fact, some of them, including Johnny, actually know that it is a batch of new materials, and they have done nothing wrong at every step. They produce in strict accordance with the requirements of the factory.

But the factory laboratory made some mistakes in the formulation, which led to serious consequences.

As for why they agree, it is because if they do not agree, they will not only not get a penny of compensation, but also be sued by the company.

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

Later, the union lawyer told them that they were likely to defeat the factory in the lawsuit. Just when everyone was about to be happy, the lawyer told them in time.

If they want to win this lawsuit, they may have to insist on a long lawsuit lasting about two to three years and the sky high lawyer's fees. In the end, the money they can get may not be enough to pay the lawyer's fees.

Moreover, their problems were already very serious at that time. A colleague had serious damage to his trachea and lungs because he breathed heavily based on tension or other reasons at the time of the accident.

Finally, they had to sign the agreement with the help of trade union lawyers. They admitted that their fault led to the accident, and the company compensated them based on the humanitarian spirit.

The money could only cover the initial medical expenses. Less than three months later, he was kicked out of the hospital. Then his wife divorced him, and his children refused to contact him. They shouted "go away, monster" and avoided every expectant hug.

He now lives in a welfare home. His job is to wait for death here and be pushed out to show his sadness and hardships when there are big people coming.

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

In the early years, fortunately, he still had some money for nursing, ointment and strong resistance.

Not now. Many of his bare muscles have blackened and some black circles appear, which is a sign of serious infection. The doctor told him that if he could not raise about 200000 medical expenses in the short term, he could die of pyemia or organ failure anytime and anywhere.

This is the only sun he can see.

Lying on the hospital bed in the yard, Johnny looked at the sky and thought of the gray sky. He wanted to thank the company for at least providing them with goggles so that his eyes could see vaguely.

Not long after, he heard the dean's angry rebuke, heard a lot of noisy voices around, and even heard people's frightened voices!

What are they shouting?

mayor?

Is the mayor here?

Johnny's eyes moved and finally gave up. Anyway, even if the mayor came, it was of no use to him. It was better to enjoy his life that would end at any time.

You know, usually no one will push him out of the room to enjoy nature.

Only one day later, on January 1 of the new year, the whole society of Saibin was shocked by the report "hell is empty, the devil is on earth!".

In fact, people have long known the existence of these groups, but they have always hinted that they can't see them in various ways. When someone tore their paralysis, they finally have to face the bloody reality.

The first reaction was the mayor. He deliberately chose this morning, pushed everything and came to the welfare home to meet the victims of these accidents.

Then gathered here are some celebrities, some people with ulterior motives, as well as journalists and some spectators.

The mayor expressed his shock, anger and shock in front of the public and reporters!

The atmosphere at the scene was very dignified, but they didn't know that a guy named Johnny was lamenting the boredom of these people not far from them.

In fact, the mayor has known these things for a long time, but the way he knows them is completely different from what he knows now. In the past, no matter how they became, these people were probably a small part of a number on a document.

Only a small part, not all. No matter how threatened and dangerous their lives are, they won't even appear on that document.

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

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

When Johnny came back, he only heard the mayor's last word - investigate to the end!

After a semi impromptu speech, he felt that the heat was almost up, and his attitude was also shown in front of the people. To be honest, he didn't want to deal with Neo like this before.

In essence, it is not only the Neo and ristoian group that are ugly when this kind of thing explodes, but also the workers' Union, the city hall and even the whole indifferent society.

Probably based on this point, he didn't think of using it, but Lynch thought of it.

He called Lynch yesterday and asked about it. Lynch's answer surprised him.

At that time, Lynch said that instead of avoiding these problems, it is better to admit them. People will appreciate those who have courage and responsibility and are willing to change. At the same time, they will hate silent perpetrators more.

Silence cannot hide the crimes they have committed!

More importantly, this can set up the ristoan group as a negative example, and then no matter what happens to them, people will only be happy and take it for granted.

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

In front of the public and the media, he apologized to the people who had been tortured and treated like this over the years, apologized to the society, begged people's forgiveness, and insisted on the determination to bring some people to justice.

His speech was a great success. Whether it was celebrities, media reporters or those who watched the excitement, they applauded warmly and looked forward to it.

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

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

Regional pillar enterprises are not only good for a region. From some angles, their harm to society is greater than their contribution to society.

Because based on their dominance in regional finance and economy, they almost endlessly plunder local resources to expand themselves. All small and medium-sized enterprises "taken care of" by such enterprises are working for others all their life. They have no chance to develop and grow, because once they develop and grow, they will compete with local pillar enterprises, Eventually defeat will become a thing of the past.

Now, the stone on the businessmen and capitalists is about to be removed, and they have no reason to be unhappy.

As for the others?

Journalists are excited that they have got new big news, which means great social repercussions. They can harvest more wealth and personal influence.

And ordinary people, they are relatively simple, looking forward to seeing the bad luck of some rich and powerful people, that's all.

Driven by mark, people began a certain "practice", that is, donation.

It seems that any unfortunate thing can turn misfortune into luck as long as he initiates donation. At this time, Johnny becomes focused. He wants to find out how much money these people will donate and how much he can get for the treatment of his own body.

The mayor also left people's sight at this time. He walked to the edge of the crowd and stood with Lynch.

His help sent him a handkerchief to wipe his hands. From the little assistant just now, he found that the mayor secretly wiped his palms twice. He should have sweated his palms because of emotions and other reasons.

"How did you think of joining the game?" asked the mayor curiously. It was inconvenient to talk on the phone yesterday, and some things were difficult to say on the phone. Now it's just asked.

Lynch didn't joke or digress. At this time, he must clarify his position and demands and try not to conflict with others' demands. This is also an important process of forming unity.

"I fell in love with the machines, sewing machines, cutting machines, steam ironing machines and some other small things in the ristoan Group factory..." Lynch turned to look at the mayor, "do you think auctioning these things is enough to compensate these people for the suffering they have endured over the years?"

The mayor's eyelids jumped. He was suddenly wary, "what do you want to do?"

Lynch very indifferent spread out his hands, "I heard that President Neo of riston is a supporter of the president's re-election. Maybe we can take advantage of this opportunity to release a big news!"

He had a more pointed smile on his face, "people need this!"
