"The only difference between this project and other projects we have in the past is that we have tried to use some skilled workers from other countries. We originally wanted to reduce some construction costs for our customers in this way. However, after this accident, we will reassess the feasibility of this attempt."

Uchida Yu said in a regretful tone.

The only difference.

Workers from other countries were used.

Reassess the feasibility...

These few words are connected together, and even the stupidest person can hear what Uchida Yu wants to say. A reporter asked: "Mr. Uchida, do you mean that this accident happened because of the mistakes made by workers from other countries you said?"

"Did I say that?" Yuu Uchida asked with an innocent face spreading his hands.

"But, that's what you meant just now." The reporter responded.

Yuu Uchida shook his head and said, "Mr. Reporter, I don't mean that. I'm just saying a fact."

"I see……"

Everyone muttered in their hearts. It was obvious that Uchida Yu had already told everyone the answer, but he refused to admit that he had said such words. What does this mean? Of course, Uchida Yu still has some unspeakable difficulties.

"So, Mr. Uchida, if the final investigation results prove that the cause of the accident was indeed the workers, how will your company deal with this matter? Will they make compensation?" The reporters began to ask.

"No, we will not ask these workers for compensation." Uchida Yu replied.

"Why?"

"Because... considering the friendship between our country and the other country."

"Friendship?" The reporters were so cold. What's wrong with this? I have never heard of no responsibility for the sake of friendship between countries. Is the Ikegaya Production Office the legendary white lotus?

"Mr. Uchida, can you tell me which country do these workers come from?" a reporter asked sensitively.

Yuuchi Uchida had been waiting for someone to ask this question, and he answered very clearly:

“They come from China.”

The audience was silent, and all the reporters wrote manuscripts in their notebooks...

"Perot factory accident originated from Chinese workers"

"Iketani Production says using Chinese workers is a mistake"

"China: A Backward Country"...

News reports were published in the media as Yuuchi Uchida hoped, quickly diverting public suspicion of Ikegaya Production and Japanese technology. China is the culprit of the Perot factory accident. The Japanese's mistake was only to trust the level of Chinese workers, which led to accidents. There is no doubt that in the minds of the Mexican people, China is a much backward country than Japan. It is not surprising that such quality accidents occurred when Chinese workers were allowed to build chemical plants.

"Uchida, it's not appropriate for you to say that?"

In the office of the project manager department, Naohiro Iwasaki looked through the newspapers he bought from the street and frowned and said to Yuuchi Uchida.

Uchida Yu shrugged and said lightly: "This is not what I said, I have never said that it was these Chinese workers who caused the equipment to collapse."

"But, your speech at the press conference clearly means this." Naohiro Iwasaki, indeed, in all the newspapers, did not say that Uchida Yu had expressed his accusation of Chinese workers. They just truthfully retelled Uchida Yu's words, and then added some questions, such as "Is this explainable?" or "This is indeed intriguing". The rest of the content is left for readers to think about.

However, who can you hide this trick? Uchida Yu did pour dirty water on the heads of Chinese workers, and Naohiro Iwasaki was very clear. As a site dispatcher, he had a very good impression of these Chinese workers, and even felt that it was more satisfactory than the Japanese workers. Uchida Yuuki blamed them for being unreasonably, Naohiro Iwasaki felt something was wrong.

Yuu Uchida smiled faintly and said, "This is just a reporter's guess. Chinese people cannot hold me legally responsible based on these reports."

"What I want to say is that it is unfair to put the blame on these Chinese workers. In fact, their skills are not worse than those of Japanese workers, and they are more able to endure harder than Japanese workers. We should not treat them like this." Naohiro Iwasaki said.

Uchida Yu sneered: "If you don't put the blame on them, do you want to put it on our Ikegaya Production?"

“Isn’t there no conclusion yet?”

"We cannot bear this responsibility regardless of whether there is a conclusion or not. We can compensate Haoge Company, but we must claim that the root of the accident lies in Chinese workers. The problem of our Chigu Production is just to ignore the employment of people."

"So, should we terminate the labor dispatch contract with China and dismiss these Chinese workers now?" Iwasaki Hiroshi asked with a little anger.

Yuu Uchida shook his head and said, "It doesn't have to be. If they are fired, where can we find someone to complete the subsequent work? In fact, the quality of work of Chinese workers is trustworthy. Chinese workers have participated in several of our previous projects, and I have full trust in their technology."

"Uh..." Naohiro Iwasaki was dumbfounded. He remembered that Uchida Yu said at the press conference that this was the first time Iketani Production Office used Chinese workers. He originally planned to remind Uchida Yu and told him that the company had hired Chinese workers for several years. Now he realized that Uchida Yu also knew about this situation. The words he said at the press conference were just his slander. As for why Uchida Yu wanted to lie, isn't the reason obvious?

"Okay, you are the sales director, and the matter of public relations is up to you." Naohiro Iwasaki surrendered. After all, he is an employee of Iketani Production and should be sitting on the Japanese side. He sighed, changed the topic, and asked: "But now we have just diverted the attention of the Mexicans. We have not found the real reason for the collapse of the fractionation tower. If these hidden dangers cannot be eliminated, the same accident may occur in the future. We can't repeatedly put the blame on the Chinese, right? No matter what, the Chinese are hired by us. When Haoge Company wants to hold them accountable, it will only look for us, and it is impossible to find the Chinese."

Why didn't Uchida Yu know this? What he said at the press conference was just an excuse for friendship. The real reason was that Iketani Production Office could not shift the blame to the Chinese. Even if it was finally proved that the accident was indeed caused by the misoperation of Chinese workers, Hauge Company would only cause trouble for Iketani Production Office and would not directly look for Chinese people. As for the responsibilities that Chinese workers should bear, it was something that could only be considered after Iketani Production Office compensated Hauge Company.

"I am urging Tian Xiongjun to speed up the investigation, but so far, he has not given a valuable conclusion. I really don't know what he is busy with these days. Is he looking for a Mexican girl?" Uchida Yu complained angrily.

Uchida Yu really wronged Tatsukita. In the past few days, Tatsukita and a group of technicians have been working day and night, but there has been no progress at all.

After receiving the report of the collapse of the fractionation tower, the first thought of the technical staff of the Chiguchi Production Office was that they felt that the problem should occur in the construction quality, because the production institute has always been a bit of a discussion about the use of Chinese workers, believing that the level of Chinese workers is not as good as that of Japanese workers. Now that there is a quality accident on the construction site, they will of course think of this aspect first.

However, when they came to Perot's construction site and checked all the construction documents, the idea was shattered. They also checked other equipment on the site and confirmed that Chinese workers did carry out welding operations strictly in accordance with process requirements and there was no problem of cutting corners.

Since there are no errors in operation, the problem can only be caused by the design. However, where did the design make mistakes?

"Count it again, you must check it one number at a time!"

Tian Xiongzhe didn't know how many times it was to issue such an order to his subordinates. They took out the design drawings, repeatedly calculated various stress relationships, and added parameters related to soil quality, temperature, wind direction, etc., hoping to figure out what caused the collapse of the fractionation tower. However, each calculation came up with the same result, that is, there was no problem with the stress design of the fractionation tower. Not to mention the wind that night, even if it was a stronger wind, it would be impossible to blow the fractionation tower down.

"Is it a hell?" Tian Xiongzhe also began to doubt his worldview.

However, if the problem is not found, the project cannot be carried out. Tian Xiongzhe is also very clear about this, and Haoge Company is also very clear about it.

"Really..."

Tian Xiongzhe also stared at his blood-red eyes and shouted with struggle, while praying to all the gods in his heart: I hope I can discover something this time...

Just as Tian Xiongzhe and his team were angry with the computer, several people walked up outside the construction site of Perot Chemical Factory. The leading one was a female worker of 27 or 80% new workpiece clothes, and the Chinese characters on her chest said "Haidong Quanfu Machinery Company". She carried a canvas bag on her shoulder and held the suitcase with one hand. There was an aviation label on her suitcase that had not been torn off, indicating that she and her companions had just arrived by plane.

"Hello, we are workers of Quanfu Machinery Company in Haidong Province, China. The company sent us to replace the previous batch of workers. My name is Du Xiaodi, this is our proof of identity."
