Chapter 504: Chapter 504: The New Secretary

"Not bad, not bad, let me introduce my new secretary, Song Xue’er."

Jack glanced at Song Xue’er standing behind him and introduced, "This is our company’s CEO, Zhou Jian."

Seeing Song Xue’er appearing here, Zhou Jian’s face subtly changed. When he had heard that voice earlier, it sounded somewhat familiar to him, yet he had not expected it to be Song Xue’er.

In the midst of Zhou Jian’s bewilderment, Song Xue’er took the initiative to extend her hand with a smile, saying,

"Hello, CEO Zhou. My name is Song Xue’er. It’s nice to meet you for the first time. Please take good care of me."

"Ah! Hello, hello."

Only then did Zhou Jian snap back to reality. Although he didn’t know why Song Xue’er was pretending not to know him, he didn’t reveal it either. Maybe this woman wanted to display her power in such a way.

"Don’t be so polite; from now on, you will be colleagues. Take care of each other and work hard together."

Jack took the document from Zhou Jian’s hand, sat at his own desk, and began to read, his expression turning exceptionally grim.

Song Xue’er stood beside Zhou Jian and sneakily sized him up.

Zhou Jian felt uneasy under her gaze, but he had to maintain a composed facade.

"Zhou Jian, you guys go out first. When the other shareholders arrive, have Xue’er notify me."

Jack waved his hand displeasedly; the problems that New Minghuang Group was facing were more serious than he had imagined.

As Song Xue’er and Zhou Jian stepped out of the office, Song Xue’er suddenly leaned in close to Zhou Jian and whispered,

"I saw everything."

"Cough, cough, what did you see?" Zhou Jian asked with an expressionless twist of his mouth.

"I saw you stealing something. If I hadn’t warned you, you would have been caught red-handed," Song Xue’er playfully reminded him.

"What exactly do you want?"

Zhou Jian’s face changed slightly as he bit his lip and asked.

"I want to help you, no matter what you’re up to. I am willing to help you," Song Xue’er stated sincerely.

"I truly realize my mistakes, and I will be a better person from now on."

Zhou Jian stared at Song Xue’er for a long time, realizing that today her attire was indeed vastly different from before, as if she had returned to the way she was when they first met.

"Don’t tell the others. Prepare for the meeting," Zhou Jian whispered, then turned and headed toward his own office.

Zhou Jian had just been searching for Jack’s seal as he needed to create some documents to take control of the Minghuang Group’s shares and many other interests. When Tang Ming returned, he planned to return it all to Tang Ming, but unfortunately, after a long search, he couldn’t find where Jack had hidden it.

Hearing Song Xue’er’s words, Zhou Jian realized that if it weren’t for her timely warning, his actions would have been discovered by Jack. That was indeed a close call.

An hour later, Jack, Qin Aotian, Sun Zhuangjia, their subordinates, and Zhou Jian sat together in a conference room for a meeting.

From the start of the meeting, a group of people stared at the report in their hands with ugly expressions.

"Who can tell me what exactly is going on here?" Jack slammed the table and gritted his teeth,

"Why has the pharmaceutical factory suddenly stopped producing the Detoxification Liquid?"

"Zhou Jian, you are the CEO of the group; isn’t it time you gave us an explanation?"

Sun Zhuangjia was the first to look at Zhou Jian to demand an explanation.

"Sorry, I am only responsible for the group’s operation and management and don’t interfere with specific production details," Zhou Jian shrugged helplessly and shook his head,

"According to my understanding, to produce the Detoxification Liquid, a special raw liquid is needed that only Tang Ming can make. Only by diluting this raw liquid and adding it to a special formula can the Detoxification Liquid sold on the market be produced."

"Sun Kai, is that correct?" Sun Zhuangjia looked toward a middle-aged man with glasses and a white lab coat and inquired.

"Young master, based on our analysis of the Detoxification Liquid, that is indeed the case,"

Sun Kai nodded helplessly, "We also attempted to replicate the Detoxification Liquid, but due to the lack of one core ingredient, we can’t produce any effective Detoxification Liquid."

"Useless! I transferred you to manage the pharmaceutical factory, and it’s been almost half a month; you’re telling me you haven’t grasped the core technology of the Detoxification Liquid? I am very disappointed," Sun Zhuangjia couldn’t help but burst out scolding.

Following the takeover of Minghuang Group, the whole group underwent a massive reshuffle, as previously the group was filled with people from the three major families. To maintain the purity of their team, Qin Aotian and others covertly replaced the insiders from the three major families, which included the key production segment.

Now, Sun Kai is the head of the pharmaceutical development department of New Minghuang Group, the highest leader responsible for the production of the Detoxification Liquid.

"Young master, I... I’ve done my best, but the company replaced all the high-level executives of the production department. Although they are now our people, none of them understand the production process of the Detoxification Liquid, so we overlooked the matter of the raw liquid initially," Sun Kai explained pitifully.

"Director Sun, you can’t say that," Zhou Jian quickly interjected,

"I handed over the Detoxification Liquid production report to you right away. It clearly states that the most important ingredient for the Detoxification Liquid is the raw liquid."

"I..."

Sun Kai opened his mouth but didn’t know how to respond.

After being transferred to Songlan, Sun Kai, relying on his high position in Sun Family Pharmaceuticals, had been dismissive of Zhou Jian due to his arrogance. Believing that the so-called Detoxification Liquid would be easy to manufacture, he didn’t take the so-called report seriously.

Now that the Detoxification Liquid was out of stock, and Sun Kai couldn’t deliver the product, the absence from the market was causing irreparable losses. If they couldn’t resume supply, the resulting losses would be immeasurable.

"Alright, alright, now is not the time to assign blame; let’s think about how to solve the current difficulties," Qin Aotian hurriedly intervened, squinting his eyes at Zhou Jian,

"CEO Zhou, you’ve been the CEO of Minghuang Group all along, don’t you have any way to research the raw liquid for the Detoxification Liquid?"

"Sorry, I truly have no way!" Zhou Jian shook his head and sighed,

"Tang Ming is very cautious in his work. He personally makes all the Detoxification Liquid raw liquid, and without a concrete formula and written records, no one in the company knows how to produce it."

"What are we going to do, then? The Detoxification Liquid sales have been explosive since the price increase, with tens of millions in revenue every day. Now that we can’t deliver products, we are essentially losing tens of millions every day,"

Jack tapped on the table anxiously, and everyone else’s brows furrowed with concern.

"I..."

Zhou Jian looked at the others, hesitant to speak.

"CEO Zhou, if you have any ideas, let’s hear them," Qin Aotian noticed Zhou Jian’s reaction and immediately asked.
