Chapter 1733: Who Did You Hear That From
“Huh? Isn’t this your company? I heard that it was even announced on television when it was established a while ago” Sun Jie saw the news that Yang Ming had just opened, and couldn’t help but gasp in surprise, “Yang Ming, you’re too astonishing. This company was just recently established, and yet such a serious incident happened. It’s even a billion yuan.”
“What’s going on?” Yang Ming frowned, and felt a little displeased. Although a billion yuan was nothing for Yang Ming, this incident had occurred a long ti ago as news had appeared online. And yet, no one had inford him about it. He felt quite angry. Aren’t my subordinates a little too inefficient?
He took out his phone and was prepared to call Bao Sanli. However, he realized that his phone had sohow shut down by itself because it had run out of battery. Could it be that Bao Sanli tried to find , but my phone was off?
After he changed the battery, Yang Ming turned on his phone and called Bao Sanli.
“Brother Yang!” Just the phone started to dial, the other side picked up. Bao Sanli’s urgent voice sounded, “Brother Yang, you finally turned on your phone. I tried to find you the whole morning…”
“Where are you? Didn’t you know that I was at the Song Jiang International Hotel?” Yang Ming asked.
“International Hotel? Brother Yang, you’re at the International Hotel? I didn’t know…” Bao Sanli repeated with confusion. “Coincidentally, I’m nearby. Can I go there now?”
Yang Ming was dazed for a mont, and imdiately understood. He had just told Bao Sanli that he would be eating in a room at the International Hotel last night. He did not ntion anything about staying overnight here. It was only natural that Bao Sanli did not know about it, “I already know what happened. It’s about the Ming Jiang Escort Company, right?”
“That’s right, Brother Yang. You already know about it?” Bao Sanli asked.
“It has already beco popular news online. I would be blind if I did not know about it,” Yang Ming said unhappily. “What in the world happened? How did such a serious matter happen? Is there so kind of secret motive behind this?”
“I’m not sure if there’s a hidden motive. I also knew about it not long ago. Xiaolu was always the one responsible for Ming Jiang’s affairs,” said Bao Sanli.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll ask Little Jie to go handle it,” said Yang Ming helplessly. He thought, People like Bao Sanli are still amateurs at handling market affairs. Previously, Ming Yang Entertainnt had a vice president run away with company funds, and now a similar problem arose. Isn’t this happening a little too frequently?
“Alright, Brother Yang… I’m sorry,” said Bao Sanli carefully.
“Forget it, just control the situation first. Don’t ss things up.” Yang Ming continued, “We must not panic now.”
“Relax, Brother Yang. I understand,” Bao Sanli assured. “I have already assigned so people from the security company to Ming Jiang to keep our n calm.”
As expected, when Yang Ming was browsing the news, the reporters had dug out the incident where Ming Yang Entertainnt’s vice president had run away with the money and connected it to the current issue. They were even criticizing it and were doubting Ming Yang’s managent.
Of course, these online reporters were all foreigners. The local reporters were afraid of Bao Sanli’s forces and did not dare to comnt too much. They just did a simple objective report and explained what had happened.
“Let handle it?” Naturally, Sun Jie had heard Yang Ming’s words.
“I’m afraid that Jing Xiaolu can’t handle it alone,” Yang Ming said. “I’ll rest assured if you take control over there.”
“Jing Xiaolu? I seem to have heard this na before…” Sun Jie frowned, “Is she Ming Yang Entertainnt’s vice president? It seems like she is your little sweetheart?”
“… Who did you hear this from?” Yang Ming started sweating. He never expected Sun Jie to have heard about Jing Xiaolu.
“Bao Sanli ntioned it. Who else do I know?” Sun Jie said, “However, you shouldn’t bla Bao Sanli for being a loudmouth. I was the one who asked him. He couldn’t help it.”
“Got it.” Yang Ming waved his hand. He wouldn’t bla Bao Sanli for such a small matter. It was as Sun Jie said. If Sun Jie were to ask Bao Sanli a question, it would be hard for Bao Sanli to decide whether to answer or not.
“The numbers are a little big, aren’t they?” Sun Jie looked through the news again, and told Yang Ming, “I can handle it, but you have to give the authority. If not, you wouldn’t be satisfied after I finish doing everything.”
“Do I look like a dictator to you?” Yang Ming shrugged.
“That depends on the situation.” Sun Jie smiled charmingly, “Hey, do you have a billion yuan?”
“What do you think?” Yang Ming rolled his eyes, “Even if I don’t have it, won’t you have it?”
“Then it’s settled. Isn’t it just a billion yuan? Just compensate it to the bank first. Like this, we won’t sully the company’s na, and we can also calm the public. As for the lost billion yuan, it’s not my problem if you can find it or not,” Sun Jie said in a relaxed manner.
Yang Ming nodded his head and agreed with Sun Jie’s solution. Yang Ming’s net worth now was not only a few billions. Although he did not really care about this billion yuan, he would never allow any evil person to take action against him on his watch.
……
Liu Zhenan had already told old man Liu Jiangyan about what had happened on Liu Huai’s side through soone else. Although the old man did not say anything, Liu Zhenan believed that Old Man Liu would start to doubt Liu Huai’s capability from now on.
Although Liu Huai was really good at doing business, she was bad at scheming compared to Liu Zhenan and Liu Jifei.
“Has that one billion yuan been stored in a safe place?” Liu Zhenan looked at Liu Jifei and asked.
“It’s in an old and abandoned factory which is under your na. It hasn’t been touched yet…” Liu Jifei answered politely. Although he initially had ill intentions toward the stored money, he decided to just forget about it after contemplating about it.
After all, many of the banknotes had serial numbers. It wasn’t appropriate to simply spend it outside. Besides, if he were to touch this money, Liu Zhenan would not let him off the bat. The most important thing was that although Liu Zhenan was very greedy for money, and had kept this one billion yuan for himself, it could be seen that he did not really care about this billion yuan. The thing he prioritized was the whole Jiangyan Group. If he had the Jiangyan Group, one billion yuan would an nothing to him.
Because of that, Liu Jifei did not do anything stupid. He just continued to curry Liu Zhenan’s favor. He thought that if Liu Zhenan were to beco the person in charge of the Jiangyan Group, this one billion might beco his reward. During that ti, everything would calm down, and it wouldn’t attract any attention even if he were to use the money.
“Then don’t touch it first,” Liu Zhenan nodded. “However, your tactic is really underhanded. You directly forced the Mingjiang Company into despair. Although this one billion yuan ans nothing to our Jiangyan Group, it’s everything for those newly established companies. Jifei, you have your own motives as well, right?”
“Brother Nan, you are very smart!” Liu Jifei did not dare to hide it, “Indeed, I have a personal grudge with the boss of the Ming Yang Company, Yang Ming. I also wanted to ss with the two scumbags Jing Xiaolu and Xu Xiaobin.
“En.” Liu Zhenan was satisfied with Liu Jifei’s honesty. He had already investigated these matters beforehand. He only asked him this ti to see if Liu Jifei was hiding anything from him. “Rember, just consider the big picture and do not affect . As for your motives, I don’t want to care about them.”
“Brother Nan, don’t worry. I sincerely want to achieve sothing big with you,” Liu Jifei quickly reassured him.
“En, let’s look at the news to see how Mingjiang is now.” Liu Zhenan sneered, and ordered Liu Jifei, “The reporters that we sent to cause havoc should have already reached Mingjiang’s office building.”
“Alright.” Liu Jifei nodded. He turned on the television, and changed the channel to Song Jiang’s finance channel.
“Mingjiang company will have a press conference today at nine a.m.. Our channel will show it fully to you live…” The sound of the news reporter ca out of the television.
“Press conference?” Liu Zhenan sneered in contempt when he saw the contents of the news. “I’m just afraid that you won’t show up. Now that you have announced a news conference, it saved so troubles. When the ti cos, prepare to receive the questioning of my reporters! Liu Huai, you’re going to die.”
Chapter 1734: Press Conference
After Liu Huai and Jing Xiaolu discussed with each other, they decided to hold a press conference first to calm down the reporters downstairs.
If the reporters were to simply ask any staff in the company, the answers they received would definitely vary a lot. With these people’s imagination, it was unthinkable how the situation would end up.
There were a few tis where Jing Xiaolu almost couldn’t resist, and wanted to give Yang Ming a call. However, she held it in in the end. From the day she decided to not be an unreliable person anymore, she wanted to show Yang Ming so results. Unfortunately, their business partners had altered the contract. That problem had just been solved, yet another one had arisen. This put Jing Xiaolu under great pressure.
Jing Xiaolu’s phone rang. She took a look at it, and found out that Bao Sanli was the one calling her. “Brother Bao.”
“Xiaolu, Brother Yang already knows what happened here, and he has dispatched soone over. Try to handle it for a while. Just wait for that person to arrive.” Bao Sanli was afraid that Jing Xiaolu could not handle the pressure, so he decided to give her a call beforehand to motivate her.
“Sigh-” Jing Xiaolu let out a sigh of relief. However, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart. If Yang Ming were to take action, then her problems would lessen. However, she did not want this outco.
“Xiaolu, what’s wrong? Based on your expression, is there so good news?” Liu Huai was very anxious now. According to the contract, the Ming Yang Company was the primary shareholder. However, if the company were to receive a loss, Liu Huai would not be able to escape responsibility too.
The most important problem was that the Jiangyan Group’s headquarters’ attitude was quite ambiguous and negative! Liu Huai had called her grandfather, but after the old man heard Liu Huai’s description, he just responded with a plain “I get it.” He did not say anything else.
Grandfather Liu’s attitude had caused the whole Jiangyan Group to simply act as observers. Although the Jiangyan group also had stocks in Ming Jian, no one stood out to support them.
“Yang Ming sent soone over to solve the problem…” Jing Xiaolu’s facial expression turned complicated.
Yang Ming… Yang Ming again. Who in the world is this person? Liu Huai muttered in her heart. She said, “Let’s go. We’ll go to the conference room first.”
The reporters were already invited into the conference room. Since the eting was set at nine o’clock, they had to go in first regardless of whether the person from Jing Xiaolu’s side ca in on ti. They had to handle their imdiate problems first.
Jing Xiaolu and Liu Huai walked into the noisy conference room. As soon as they entered the room, the sound of discussion from the reporters beca softer. When Jing Xiaolu and Liu Huai sat on the main seats, the conference room turned quiet.
“Alright. Before we start the press conference, allow to introduce myself. My na is Liu Huai, and I am a vice president of the Ming Jiang Escort Company. This is Jing Xiaolu, and she is also a vice president,” Liu Huai said. “This press conference was decided very promptly, so we had no ti to prepare for it. Although we call this a press conference, this is actually just a question and answer convention. This is because we have not received an accurate report about what has happened. The police are still investigating the matter. I’m the sa as all of you, and I have no knowledge about the matter’s internal affairs.”
After Liu Huai finished speaking, she let out a sigh. She said this first to prevent the reporters from being persistent with their questions. Now that she announced that they didn’t know anything, the reporters had to ask so questions that they were actually able to reply to.
Liu Huai’s speech surprised the reporters who were prepared to cause trouble. The questions they wanted to ask could not be voiced out. The atmosphere suddenly turned quiet.
“Vice President Liu, since the Jiangyan Group holds stocks in the Ming Jiang Company, what is their reaction to this matter?” This reporter was appointed by Liu Zhenan. He initially wanted to ask this question after the others had asked theirs.
However, Liu Huai’s few sentences had made the reporters’ questions ineffective. All of a sudden, no one stood out to ask any questions! It should be known that most reporters had not co here to trouble Liu Huai. They just wanted to understand the internal affairs behind this matter.
Since Liu Huai knew nothing just like them, there was no more reason for them to stay here. Even if Liu Huai’s words were false, she could just use the excuse that the police wanted them to remain quiet. In the end, they could do nothing.
Liu Huai glanced at the reporter that asked the question. She had never seen that face before, so she did not bother to guess his identity. Instead, she directly answered, “Although the Ming Jiang Escort Company is a joint-venture between the Jiangyan Group and Ming Yang Security Company, it is a new company. Although the Jiangyan Group has so shares, we manage it independently…”
Liu Huai didn’t know if the reporter understood her explanation. Liu Huai had also guessed that so of the reporters were here to trouble her. Even if she was told that this wasn’t related to her big brother, she wouldn’t believe it.
“Is that so. Now, the Ming Jiang Escort Company has lost a billion yuan, and it is nowhere to be found. How can Ming Jiang make up for this mistake?” The reporter continued asking. “According to what I know, Ming Jiang is a new company, and does not have many assets. If the Jiangyan Group behind them doesn’t appear, then how will you all settle this matter?”
When Liu Huai heard this reporter’s words, she confird even more that this reporter was sent here by her brother to ruin her public image.
“It’s our company’s internal affairs as to how we will handle this problem. This isn’t sothing we should be talking about in this press conference.” Liu Huai also did not know how to make up for this mistake, so she could only say this.
“I heard that Vice President Liu is still working as a financial officer for the Jiangyan Group. With Vice President Liu’s position, it isn’t that hard to use Jiangyan Group’s funds to cover up this mistake, right?” Another reporter asked, “Or is it like what the rumors said? Vice President Liu’s power had actually been reduced? While you are working as a financial officer, all your power was taken away from you?”
“I heard that Vice President Liu was one of the candidates to beco the Jiangyan Group’s successor. Now that such a big mistake has happened, does that an that you have lost your chance of being the successor?”
“What are Grandfather Liu’s opinions on this matter?’
“The Jiangyan Group still has not given any response. Does this an that the Jiangyan Group had already given up on the Ming Jiang Escort Company? Or is there a deeper story behind this? Does this an that Vice President Liu is also abandoned by them?”
“Without the support of the Jiangyan Group, can the Ming Jiang Escort Company overco this problem?”
These sensitive questions were asked one after the other. Liu Huai finally knew how evil her brother was. He was using this chance to publicly criticize her.
Jing Xiaolu was also anxious when she saw how much of a headache these questions were giving Liu Huai. If this were to go on, this press conference would definitely go haywire. Jing Xiaolu did not care anymore, and quickly held the microphone as she improvised. She told the reporters below, “Please be quiet!”
After Jing Xiaolu spoke, the few reporters that were incessantly questioning Liu Huai finally stopped reluctantly. However, they still looked like they wanted to know the truth.
“This is the Ming Jiang Escort Company’s press conference, not the Jiangyan Group’s. Besides, don’t forget about the main problem. Although the Jiangyan Group is one of the shareholders of the Ming Jiang Escort Company, the biggest shareholder is our Ming Yang Company. We are the ones that lead the business as well. Because of this, Miss Liu Huai can refuse to answer your questions,” said Jing Xiaolu. “If you guys really want to know about the Jiangyan Group’s affairs, then I suggest you all interview the Jiangyan Company.”
“Fine. Since you said this, how will the Ming Yang company settle this matter?” The reported that initially started questioning was displeased with Jing Xiaolu butting in, so he directed his attacks towards her.
After all, he was just here to cause a ss. He just wanted the press conference to go haywire.
