Chapter 763: Chapter 0764: The Internal Worries of the Corporation [Second Update]

Luo Fei fell silent all of a sudden after hearing what Ye Qiu had said.

This time, he had a narrow escape from death, and if it hadn’t been for meeting Ye Qiu, he likely would have died as well. However, thinking of his elderly parents, his wife, and children, could Luo Fei really go through with it?

"I will definitely find the murderer, but I cannot rush it,"

Ye Qiu said.

When he drove to the parking lot outside the funeral home, Ye Qiu parked the car, and Xia Lan had already parked her red Mercedes there.

Just now, the crematorium’s staff had transferred Li Fei’s body from that top-tier hospital, and they were now waiting for Xia Lan to arrive to sign the paperwork and confirm the identity.

Xia Lan, Ye Qiu, and Luo Fei went inside. Led by a staff member of the crematorium, the three of them arrived at a spot where Ye Qiu and Xia Lan saw Li Fei’s body once again.

And for Luo Fei, it was the first time seeing Li Fei’s body since waking up.

At the time, when he was accompanying Li Fei in the car, he had noticed that something was off with Li Fei’s condition, and later, before they could return to Jinling, an incident occurred involving both him and Li Fei.

He was still taken to that top-tier hospital by an ambulance for treatment.

Luo Fei stood there, saluted Li Fei, and after the staff had Xia Lan sign the necessary paperwork proving identity, Luo Fei’s body was taken into the high-temperature incinerator. It was likely that by the afternoon, they could come here to collect his ashes.

Watching her husband being carried away, Xia Lan’s legs gave out, and just as she was about to fall, Ye Qiu quickly steadied her and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you all right?"

As Ye Qiu and Luo Fei helped Xia Lan outside to find a place to sit down, Ye Qiu checked on her. It was probably due to the shock of her husband’s sudden departure that Xia Lan was showing symptoms of low blood pressure and low blood sugar.

Could this also be why Xia Lan was about to fall just now?

"Mrs. Li, you should go to the hospital to rest first,"

Luo Fei said.

Having worked with Li Fei for such a long time, although they were about the same age, he always respected Xia Lan’s position.

Seeing Xia Lan in that state, he felt it would be better for her to rest at the hospital first.

"I can’t go; the company is in trouble right now,"

Xia Lan said.

Actually, her reason for finding Ye Qiu this time was not only to hope that Ye Qiu could discover the true cause of Li Fei’s death but also because of her husband’s company, Eiffel Chain Hotel.

The Eiffel Hotel is a chain of hotels, ranging from the standard three-star hotels to high-end four-star properties, with the majority being four-star and scattered all over Jiangnan Province, particularly having over a dozen in Jinling City. The headquarters of the chain hotels is also located here in Jinling.

This time, the poisoning incident in the hotel group had such a massive impact, prompting Li Fei to rush back from abroad. Unexpectedly, just over a month after his return, an accident occurred, and he ended up losing his life.

The Eiffel Chain Hotel is a chain of hotels, but it is not yet a public company. Li Fei and five other shareholders had established it during his lifetime.

However, Li Fei alone held about eighty percent of the shares, and the rest, including the other five shareholders and senior company executives who had made significant contributions, didn’t even make up twenty percent.

It can be said that, before going public, Li Fei held so many shares that he undoubtedly had the greatest management authority in the company.

But now that Li Fei had passed away, the company’s shares had fallen into the hands of Xia Lan and her daughter, and the company had started experiencing problems.

Xia Lan had not yet announced Li Fei’s accident to the media, nor did she need to, since he was not the head of a public company but merely the head of a private group company.

Even so, other shareholders already knew about Li Fei’s incident, so the thoughts of those other five shareholders differed.

However, over the years, aside from the first few when Xia Lan worked in the Eiffel Group Company as Li Fei’s secretary, she stopped going to the company after she became pregnant.

This time, with Li Fei’s sudden departure, many company matters had not been handed over, leaving her very passive within the company.

Therefore, this time she hoped Ye Qiu could help her, as she might not trust someone else.

"Dr. Ye, could you help me once more?"

"Help you with what?"

Ye Qiu asked curiously.

Just now, he had already determined the cause of Li Fei’s death and had cured Luo Fei’s illness. Moreover, Ye Qiu was preparing to investigate the murderer himself.

He had done everything that needed to be done.

As for the five percent share of the Eiffel Chain Hotel, Ye Qiu no longer thought about it, at least Ye Qiu knew that Li Fei had died because of it, and he had done what needed to be done. Ye Qiu wouldn’t take advantage of him anymore.

Unexpectedly, this beautiful young widow still had something to ask of him?

"The company’s affairs are now both internally and externally troubled."

Xia Lan said.

Her sudden appearance of low blood pressure and low blood sugar was due to her husband’s sudden incident and the company’s affairs, which left her so haggard.

Eiffel Chain Hotel, according to incomplete statistics, comprises over a hundred hotels, with management personnel and staff, including service workers, exceeding ten thousand people.

It could be said to be a very large-scale group company that, even before going public, was already worth several billions.

In the past, the Eiffel Hotel had faced external threats primarily due to intense market competition and significant homogenization since the service-oriented hotel industry was booming, and many hotels, due to pricing competition, suffered from having no guests for consecutive months or very few guests, leading to huge losses and many hotels closing down directly.

In these situations, Li Fei had always been able to solve them easily. He had even traveled to foreign countries, including Japan, the United States, and Europe, to study their management models and business operations to better develop Eiffel Hotels.

As for internal troubles before, there weren’t any, as Li Fei himself held just over eighty percent of the stocks, with the other five shareholders holding too little to do more than express their opinions and then receive dividends at the end of the year, normally not interfering with the company’s affairs.

But now, with Li Fei suddenly gone and Xia Lan being a boss’s wife who seldom appeared in the company, the internal troubles within the group company had worsened.

She feared that without resolving this internal trouble, Li Fei’s lifelong efforts would be ruined by those five shareholders.

"What problem has the company encountered?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"It’s severe. The confidential secretary at the company knew about his incident, which is how the other five shareholders became aware of Li Fei’s situation."

Xia Lan originally didn’t want to notify the news media because she didn’t want others, including those five shareholders, to find out so quickly and intended to first get a grip on the internal situation of the group company.

But a group company of over ten thousand people wasn’t as simple as she had imagined, and even if Xia Lan were more capable, she might still struggle to deal with the current issues.

What’s more, she had previously been just an ordinary female secretary to Li Fei.
