Not A Small-Town Girl

The Charrington Group quickly issued an official statement.

The statement read:

[Responding to the accident at the construction site of Hillside Resort:

[1. The Charrington Group will bear all the medical costs of the injured workers until they are discharged from the hospital. The company will compensate each worker 300 thousand dollars.

[2. The Charrington Group will take legal action against people and websites that spread false rumors online and have caused major economic losses to our company.

[3. What the lady said in the video was defamation. The details of the event are as follows:

[After the accident, the Charrington Group sent a representative to discuss compensation plans with the families of the injured workers. However, this lady asked for 6.5 million dollars in compensation. The other families followed suit. Our company refused to pay out the amount requested since it was unreasonable.

[In addition, the doctors suggested transferring the two workers in the intensive care unit to a normal ward. However, the patients’ family members refused the suggestion and wreaked havoc in the hospital. They even insulted the doctor and our company’s representative.]

Along with the official statement, the Charrington Group also posted a video of the families throwing a fit in the hospital, a video of the lady requesting for 6.5 million dollars, medical reports of the two workers, and body checkup reports of all the workers involved.

On top of that, the Charrington Group’s PR department urged the netizens to be rational and think before posting since the Internet was not a lawless place. As soon as the Charrington Group’s official account released the statement and the evidence, it became a trending topic on Twitter.

A netizen commented: [I knew it. The Charrington Group is a well-established company. They will surely compensate the victims under normal circumstances.]

Another netizen lamented: [I really didn’t expect the wife of that injured worker to deceive us. She doesn’t deserve any sympathy.]

Yet another netizen commented: [Am I the only one paying attention to the compensation? 300 thousand dollars! It’s the annual salary for so many people! How I wish I’m one of the injured workers.]

Someone mocked: [Well, big companies are usually quite generous in terms of compensation. Those who slandered the Charrington Group must be crying now. I heard that the group has some really powerful lawyers who have never lost a lawsuit.]
