"I...." Lawrence was very embarrassed, "I'll tell my father about it...."
This was the only way he could think of.
He knew that it was a big batch of materials. If he could return it, he would be able to avoid some losses. However, the part that had been used could not be returned or used again.
But even so, the materials, manpower, as well as other things had cost a lot.
He had just graduated. How could he have extra savings?
When he was studying abroad, he didn't have to worry about his living expenses and his family would transfer money to him on time every month. But... he used up all the money every month.
He was young, and his family was rich, so he just wanted to have fun in time. How could he think about the future?
In other words, he had never worried about his future.
He wasn't stupid. He went abroad to study economics and got a master's degree. Even if he didn't work hard to start his own business,
it wouldn't be difficult for him to work in his family's company.
Besides, he was the only child in his family, and the company would belong to him in the future. So he... didn't have much money at this time.
Even if he wanted to work hard and let everyone see his efforts and progress, this time... if he didn't ask for his family's help, how could he get so much money?
The building of the hotel couldn't be delayed. The material had to be returned, but the construction had to be carried on, right?
He could only hope that... his parents could forgive him and give him money.
Benjamin sighed lightly, "Lawrence, you are not a child in your teens now."
Lawrence understood his implication immediately. He was an adult, and he shouldn't rely on his family all the time.
Lawrence's face flushed again, and he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, "Uncle Benjamin, I was the one who made the mistake. The building of your hotel can't be delayed. There are so many workers there. Even if they can't work because of the materials, you have to pay their daily salary. Right now, I... You know that I've just started working, and I don't have much money. I know that I've done something wrong. But right now... except for this way, I really don't have any other options."
"I can borrow the money from my parents. When I make money, I'll return it to them. But as I just said, it's my fault. I can't just sit by and do nothing."
Although he grew up in a wealthy family, he had been taught since he was a child that he should be responsible for the mistake he made, and he should compensate and apologize to others in time. His father told him that no matter how rich his family was, as a man, he should keep faith.
Benjamin nodded slightly, "I don't agree with your way of solving the problem, but it's good that you're brave enough to bear the consequence."
