Shen Junyu carried Wen Xiyao all the way home. She had an housekeeper at home, so Shen Junyu was not worried about her. Before leaving, he still reminded her, “Your wound cannot touch water. Remember to change the dressing tomorrow morning.”
Wen Xiyao nodded meekly, “I know, you go back, drive carefully at night.”
The accident of Xinhe International was on the news the next day, and the impact was very bad. The comments on Xinhe International on the Internet were generally curses. Wen Xiyao was browsing the news with her mobile phone, and her face was very ugly when she saw the report above.
“These trolls on the Internet are really full and have nothing to do. They only know how to troll this and that every day. Do they understand the truth of the matter clearly?” Wen Xiyao put down her mobile phone and said dissatisfiedly.
Shen Junyu put a peeled egg on her plate, “You said they are trolls, why bother with those things, hurry up and eat.”
He rushed over early this morning. Wen Xiyao woke up in the morning and saw Shen Junyu. Although she was very surprised, she was very happy in her heart.
“Do we have to go to the hospital after breakfast?” Shen Junyu asked.
Wen Xiyao nodded, “No matter what happened, the person is dead after all. I can’t just sit there and watch. Besides, the company’s image has plummeted. Most importantly, if this matter gets out, even if this place is built in the future, I’m afraid no one will come to buy it. The shareholders of the company are waiting for me.”
Thinking of this, Wen Xiyao had a headache, because she was parachuted in, those shareholders were all waiting to catch her handle and then drive her out of office.
“Don’t think too much, eat breakfast first. There will be a way when the car reaches the mountain. There will definitely be a solution. Even if you don’t eat or drink now, it won’t make up for it.”
Wen Xiyao thought about it, took a sip of milk, and finished her breakfast silently.
Shen Junyu sent Wen Xiyao to work. Her foot was injured and she couldn’t drive at all. Although there was a driver to pick her up, Shen Junyu was still a little worried.
Shen Qinglan learned about this incident from the news, called Shen Junyu, and knew that Wen Xiyao was injured, so she drove directly to find Wen Xiyao.
Wen Xiyao was still in the meeting room. When she arrived at the company today, she saw a group of shareholders waiting for her. The company held an emergency board meeting. The old guys blamed her for her mistakes throughout the meeting, and some of them wanted to remove her.
“Women are short-sighted and have long hair. It’s not feasible to hand over the company to a woman. Look, it’s a problem now.” The person who said this was a small shareholder in the company. His surname was Qian. His personality was the same as his surname, stingy and money-loving. But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that the chairman of the company was also a woman, who was sitting at the top. He smiled awkwardly and didn’t dare to look into the eyes of the chairman Dong Xinhe.
“You are still too young and unreliable.” This was said by a shareholder named Wang.
Wen Xiyao sat there, watching the shareholders’ criticism of her coldly, without saying a word.
Dong Xinhe, the chairman of Xinhe International, had no expression on her face. After all the shareholders had finished speaking, she looked at Wen Xiyao, “Xiyao, what do you think about this matter?”
Wen Xiyao glanced at the shareholders present, “Chairman, regarding this matter, I admit that I did make a mistake, but the main cause of this matter was that the worker did not follow the regulations to do a good job of safety precautions. The main person responsible is not us. According to my opinion, we should directly go through the legal procedures for this matter and deal with it as we should.”
“It’s easy for you to say that we should go through the legal procedures. Now it has aroused public anger on the Internet. How many people are pointing fingers and scolding us? As soon as the news came out this morning, the company’s stock price fell. The most important thing now is to appease the public’s emotions and restore the company’s image.” Director Wang said.
“Then according to Director Wang, should we just admit this matter? If we admit it, what will people outside think? They will think that we are guilty and we killed people.” Wen Xiyao said lightly.
“Things have come to this point now. It is only right to settle things quickly. Otherwise, what will happen to the company’s image? Moreover, because of this incident, the value of land No. 3 is no longer the Feng Shui treasure land it once was. The investment of more than one billion yuan may be wasted. Can you afford this loss?” Director Qian said faintly, and he talked about money every three sentences.
Wen Xiyao argued with them in the conference room, insisting on her attitude and refusing to give in. In the end, it was chairman Dong Xinhe who spoke up and did what Wen Xiyao wanted, and the matter came to a temporary end.
“Chairman, I am very sorry about this matter. It was my negligence that caused this result.” Wen Xiyao said apologetically to Dong Xinhe in the chairman’s office.
Dong Xinhe waved her hand, “It’s not your fault. I’ve learned what happened. You did the right thing. We can compromise on some things, but we can’t give in on some things. We can’t let people think that our Xinhe International is easy to bully.”
Dong Xinhe was a tough person when she was young. She did things quickly and efficiently. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to start such a big company from scratch. She fell in love with Wen Xiyao at first sight and invited her to the company many times. In addition to her ability, it was also because her temper was very similar to her when she was young.
Wen Xiyao nodded, “Chairman, don’t worry, I will definitely solve this matter satisfactorily, but…” She hesitated for a moment, “But the worker died after all, and there is an unemployed wife and a two-year-old child at home. I think out of humanitarianism, can we give him a more generous compensation?”
Dong Xinhe smiled slightly, “Since I’m giving this matter to you, I trust you. Just let it go and don’t take the words of those old guys on the board of directors to heart.”
“Thank you, Chairman.” Being trusted by the leader comforted Wen Xiyao’s bad mood because of the accusations of the group of old guys early in the morning.
Coming out of the chairman’s office, Wen Xiyao’s mood was obviously much better. Seeing Shen Qinglan waiting outside, she was slightly surprised, “Qinglan, why are you here?”
“I just came to see you.” Shen Qinglan said, looking at her palm wrapped in gauze, “How is the injury?”
“It’s okay, just a little scratch.”
Shen Qinglan handed her the ointment on her hand, “This is what my brother asked me to send. The effect is good. You should try it.”
Wen Xiyao raised her eyebrows. Why didn’t Shen Junyu himself gave it to her, when they saw each other in the morning? After thinking about it, she understood and took it with a smile, “Thank your brother for me.” The last two words were emphasized.
Shen Qinglan smiled faintly, “You’re welcome.”
Knowing that she had a lot of things to do, Shen Qinglan didn’t stay for long, and even Wen Xiyao’s lunch invitation was rejected by her.
Coming out of Xinhe International, Shen Qinglan went to the antique street. She first bought a gift for Mr. Fu. In a week, it would be Mr. Fu’s birthday. The family wanted to celebrate his birthday, but the old man refused. He didn’t celebrate his birthday, but the gift still had to be prepared.
While looking at an antique, Shen Qinglan suddenly noticed a line of sight. She turned her head suddenly, but did not see any suspicious people. However, she was sure that someone was definitely looking at her. She looked again and still did not see anyone suspicious, so Shen Qinglan retracted her gaze and continued to look at the antique in her hand.
In a corner not far away, Xu Nuo leaned against the wall with a smile on his lips. Shen Qinglan’s five senses were sharper than he had expected. She had noticed him just by him looking at her.
Shen Qinglan came out of the antique shop with a beautifully packaged box in her hand. She chose a direction, stopped from time to time to walk into the shops along the street to take a look, and walked and stopped along the way.
This antique street was close to the old town of Siheyuan in the south of the city. The alleys were crisscrossed. Shen Qinglan’s teahouse was nearby. She turned a corner and turned into a nearby alley. There was a slight sound of footsteps behind her. If it weren’t for her sensitive hearing, she might not have noticed it. Shen Qinglan deliberately slowed down her pace, and the footsteps behind her also slowed down. Shen Qinglan’s mouth curled slightly and she continued to walk towards her own teahouse.
