Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Father and Son (4)

Ultimately, it was a rhythm where no secret could be kept forever.

One must understand that nowadays, news favors self-media. People who report news online are plentiful, and ordinary citizens can report what they see and hear in real-time.

In a situation where everyone could become a frontline reporter, no matter how vast and long-reaching Changda’s influence was, it was clear that the incident was too big to cover up.

Someone reported online, saying: "I don’t know which groups were fighting in the KTV? Definitely not decent folks."

How could respectable businessmen be slashing and killing with knives? Even if Changda’s employees were innocent victims, how could Changda be dealing with such people? It clearly didn’t make sense.

With the outside world’s news being so tumultuous, let alone internally within the company. If they didn’t get the news from inside the company firsthand, hearing it from the outside would naturally lead them back to the company to carefully inquire if it was true.

The grassroots employees couldn’t help feeling terrified.

Just a while ago, the third group of business development encountered a car accident, and Fang Yongxing had almost lost his life. Now, an even more terrifying incident occurred involving local gangsters from another place, and Fu Yubo had been stabbed in the stomach. It was said that he was now in Mingxin Hospital’s intensive care unit, unsure whether he was dead or alive.

What happened?

Had Changda suddenly become continuously plagued by misfortune?

If it was distressing for grassroots employees, it was even more unsettling for the board of directors.

Employees might worry about their livelihoods, but for the sake of their lives, they could switch companies; abandoning their positions at Changda wasn’t impossible. But for those who owned Changda stocks, whose family fortunes and fates were tightly bound to Changda, it wasn’t so easy.

In their eyes, whether Fu Yubo lived or died wasn’t the most pressing issue. The most critical issue was whether Fu Yubo’s potential death could bring detrimental damage to the company’s reputation and consequently, affect the company’s stock market plunge.

Fortunately, today was the weekend, and the stock market was closed; otherwise, Changda’s executives couldn’t bear to imagine the consequences on the stocks for the day.

The HR Director, Cai, had repeatedly contacted Mingxin Hospital, and also sent colleagues who came in this morning to visit Fu Yubo at the hospital. Since Fu Yubo worked alone in the big city, his family hadn’t been notified to come over yet.

After confirming several times with Mingxin Hospital that Fu Yubo had temporarily escaped danger after last night’s emergency surgery, Director Cai approached the office of the chairman. After being announced by the secretary at the door, she entered Xiao Jianming’s office.

"Chairman," Sister Cai stood respectfully in Xiao Jianming’s office.

Xiao Jianming sat in a black boss chair resembling a spaceship seat, turned about ninety degrees toward the bright glass window and the sky outside.

The weather today seemed not very good, as fog seemed to wrap around the city from early morning and had not yet dissipated. The whole sky had turned gray, which somewhat matched the alarming news he had received this morning.

Such a big incident had occurred last night, but it wasn’t until this morning that Chen Jiaming, who had hurried back by plane, had someone draft a report for him.

Not everyone in the company was unaware of the incident. The first to know the news might not tell Xiao Jianming. The reason was simple; the matter could affect Chen Jiaming’s reputation within the company.

Some people did not welcome this outcome.

They could only keep it a secret, trying hard to maintain it, until the public opinion online became overwhelming, knowing that he would surely see the news when he woke up this morning. Chen Jiaming chose to have someone proactively inform him.
