Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Using Work as a Pretext, Seeking Personal Convenience

Xu Lin: "..."

He knew it, even if Bo Yunshen cared about the company’s situation, he shouldn’t be calling him in the middle of the night.

"Indeed, something did happen..."

Xu Lin organized his thoughts and spoke in a low voice, "The opening ceremony for Kai Yuan tomorrow might not be able to proceed as scheduled. Today, it was leaked online that the quality grade of the concrete used by Kai Yuan is substandard."

"Since the Kai Yuan building is quite tall, considering the comprehensive plasticity, durability, and other factors, we originally chose C30. The tests at the time didn’t reveal any issues, but..."

"Somebody disclosed that the concrete grade Kai Yuan used is C25, raising concerns about the lifespan of the buildings."

Although Kai Yuan is not small in scale, the investment intensity doesn’t require the attention of President Bo Yunshen!

Plus, the C25 grade concrete is sufficient to support the buildings in that neighborhood, it’s just that Bo Group prefers to use better quality, and moreover, now that it has been exposed, it affects consumer sentiment.

Speaking of which, it’s not a big deal. After department heads go to work tomorrow, a solution can be communicated...

Bo Yunshen: "..."

Bo Group has invested in numerous properties, and the ones he is aware of are of the caliber of Luo Shen Bay.

He frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Oh, the fact that tomorrow’s opening ceremony cannot proceed as planned is quite a sudden incident. Does Director Qin know about it?"

Xu Lin hesitated for a moment: "Director Qin probably doesn’t know yet, President, the PR department is already handling it..."

"Besides, other colleagues from the Marketing Department are aware, and they are all capable of dealing with last-minute changes. Even if we wait for Director Qin to arrive at work tomorrow, it will still be in time to handle it."

A cold smile appeared on Bo Yunshen’s face.

"Oh? So you mean to say, Director Qin doesn’t need to deal with anything, yet Bo Group should still pay her a high salary?"

"I... that’s not what I meant!"

Bo Yunshen disregarded Xu Lin’s anxiety, his tone seemed to be steeped in an icy stream.

"Notify Qin Yan, she needs to do her job! If being the Marketing Director is so easy that anyone can do it, why would I need her?!"

After speaking, Bo Yunshen hung up the phone directly.

Xu Lin: "..."

Less than ten minutes later, Bo Yunshen heard a voice outside the bedroom; Qin Yan must have been on the phone. Her voice was very low, but Bo Yunshen’s hearing was good. Despite the wall separating them, he still caught a few keywords.

Something about "Kai Yuan" and "grade."

Bo Yunshen’s lips curled up, and he tossed his cell phone onto the bedside table. He lay down on the master bed with a trace of satisfaction on his face.

It wasn’t that he was not allowing Qin Yan to sleep, it was that Qin Yan hadn’t handled her job properly!

After lying there for about twenty minutes, Bo Yunshen still had no sign of drowsiness. His lips were a bit dry, and after hesitating for a moment, he climbed out of bed and opened the door.

The door to the study wasn’t closed tightly, and a sliver of light spilled out.

Qin Yan was sitting in the center of the light, her face pale, and her fingertips swiftly tapping on the laptop.

A slight twinge of guilt surged in Bo Yunshen’s heart.

However, such a fleeting, almost non-existent emotion dissipated cleanly in less than half a minute.

Isn’t this what Qin Yan wanted? To wear the crown, one must bear its weight!

Such an important position in the Marketing Department, you can’t just enjoy the salary without doing the work!

Bo Yunshen smirked, turned around, and then heard a sound from inside.

"Lu Yi, using C25 grade concrete in the Kai Yuan buildings is also alright, this news should be easy to clarify, so I’m planning to set the opening ceremony for one week later..."

Bo Yunshen froze at the sound of Qin Yan mentioning a name.

He cursed under his breath, his figure cast against the light, his face a fascinating interplay of shadows.

This shameless woman, Qin Yan, getting up in the middle of the night to handle some work, couldn’t contain her loneliness, she just had to make a phone call, hitting on his good cousin!

Was she planning to go out and have an in-depth discussion with Lu Yi afterward?

He touched his hair and felt that its color could shine bright green without any dye!

A cold smile spread across Bo Yunshen’s face, and he turned direction, pushing open the door to the study and knocked twice with his curled fingers.

He was holding a water glass which he’d picked up from the nightstand when he came out of the bedroom.

Seeing Qin Yan look up, he walked straight to the desk and casually set the glass on the surface, his voice deep and cold: "Have some water!"

She glanced at the water glass, which was empty. How to drink from it?

Qin Yan’s phone was on speaker, and Lu Yi, who was talking, paused suddenly upon hearing Bo Yunshen’s voice.

Bo Yunshen glanced at Qin Yan’s phone with a smirk, locking eyes with her, his gaze sharp as ice.

"What’s being handled here? Kai Yuan?"

"Such a minor issue; you can deal with it at work tomorrow! Mrs. Bo, try not to disturb cousin’s rest unnecessarily!"

"He’s getting on in years, and there are many things he no longer has the strength for!"

Qin Yan: "..."

She looked up at Bo Yunshen, raising her eyebrows, her eyes calm and undisturbed.

The Kai Yuan matter indeed wasn’t a big issue; Xiao Shen could handle it herself. She only needed to be notified tomorrow when she got to work.

To have her called up in the dead of night, if not for Bo Yunshen, she truly didn’t know who else would be so troubling.

Qin Yan glanced at the computer’s time and asked lightly, "It’s past two; why haven’t you slept yet?"

Bo Yunshen eyed her phone, Qin Yan greeted Lu Yi and reached out to hang up the call.

Having mostly dealt with the situation, Qin Yan spoke:

"Yunshen, about the Kai Yuan matter, I’ve already contacted the Legal Department. No matter who switched the concrete grade, an investigation will be carried out, and strict punishment will follow!"

"The PR department will clarify it tomorrow, and the Project Department has gone through the procedures. Even the pricing for the Kai Yuan buildings, we’ve already discussed it; we will have another meeting tomorrow to decide on a reasonable figure."

"Besides, the opening ceremony is scheduled for one week later."

Bo Yunshen’s expression became increasingly rigid.

"Which project is Kai Yuan? Do I need to be reported on such things? Are you trying to work me to death?"

Qin Yan swept a glance at Bo Yunshen, her eyes bright and clean, seemingly speaking.

Bo Yunshen somehow read Qin Yan’s meaning, which carried a hint of resentment, as if she were saying, so you know it’s not a big project...

Bo Yunshen’s body tensed.

He smirked, tapping his fingertips on the desk, and slightly parted his lips:

"So Director Qin, dealing with a small work-related issue in the middle of the night, you needed to give Director Lu a call?"

"You wouldn’t be using work as a pretext for personal convenience, would you?"

Qin Yan furrowed her brows.

Bo Yunshen’s words were loaded, nearly telling her that he suspected her relationship with Lu Yi was not appropriate.
