Chapter 415: Group Incident

Wang family.

Anzhu finished his report.

No answer was received.

He looked up from his iPad in confusion.

Wang Yuanling was seen sitting in the office chair, staring at the table. It was obvious that his mind was not there.

"Mr. Ling?" An Zhu tried to call out.

Wang Yuanling didn't respond.

Shouted the third time in a row.

Wang Yuanling suddenly raised his eyelashes, a trace of disturbed confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he regained clarity.

An Zhu: "Boss Ling? Is there something wrong with the plan?"

Realizing he had lost himself in thought and had made this rare, out-of-touch reaction, Wang Yuanling's eyes flashed with a hint of unnaturalness. He spoke softly, "Send the plan to my email. I'll review it myself later."

An Zhu looked at her, locked the screen, and asked with concern: "Boss Ling, has something happened? I noticed that you have been lost in thought since the meeting this morning."

Her pretty face showed a gloomy expression, and her dark eyebrows knitted slightly: "Did you find the person I asked you to investigate?"

Yasu: "Not yet, I'll urge them again."

Wang Yuanling glanced at the time on the screen. There were only a few days left before the engagement party.

Her expression gradually became serious: "As soon as possible."

Yasuke: "Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

He took out his cell phone and was surprised when he saw the message.

Wang Yuanling saw his face full of shock, her eyebrows moved slightly, and her pink lips opened slightly, and she was about to ask what was wrong.

An Zhu's head shot up, his shock turning into incredible confusion: "Boss Ling, something has happened to the group."

Wang Yuanling: “?”

An Zhu quickly turned his phone screen to Wang Yuanling. "News just broke. Zhou Zhenghai, Vice President Liu, and Director Zhang from the marketing department... they've all been caught in scandal! The financial channel is already reporting it!"

On the screen, the glaring news headline was clearly visible:

Wang Group's top brass is in turmoil! Zhou Zhenghai is suspected of insider trading and a series of power-for-sex scandals have erupted!

Vice President Liu of Wang's family has a huge fortune of unknown origin, suspected to be related to overseas corruption!

Wang's core executives are embroiled in a scandal, and their IPO plans may be severely damaged!

The accompanying pictures are several blurry but very impactful secretly taken photos, as well as screenshots of seemingly detailed anonymous reporting materials.

Wang Yuanling's pupils suddenly contracted.

His fingertips curled unconsciously on the smooth table surface, then loosened.

These executives with decision-making power, headed by Zhou Zhenghai, have all been involved in scandals.

In the past.

They always outdo her in everything.

Now, they are all caught in one fell swoop.

She is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary.

But she, the biggest beneficiary, hasn't taken any action yet, so who else would move these people to take action?

Just as she was thinking this, An Zhu asked, "Boss Ling, how could they have accidents at the same time? I find it very strange."

"You're right." She lowered her eyelids slightly, and her long eyelashes cast a light shadow under her eyes.

She didn't put in much effort.

The mastermind behind their capture has already been identified.

Yasuke: "Who do you think did this?"

Wang Yuanling raised his eyes, his eyes were as clear as autumn water.

"Who else could it be but him?"

An Zhu was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on and said in surprise: "You mean, Gu Zhou?!"

"Well, he did it."

She had just told him subtly that the people in the group did not obey her.

I never thought he would move so quickly.

This group of people was dealt with in one go.

It really is fast, accurate and ruthless.

It is much more efficient than her being timid and hesitant.

Know it clearly.

But deep down in my heart, the deep water was stirred for no reason, creating ripples that were difficult to calm down.

She was just looking for this as an excuse, but unexpectedly, he listened to her and helped her deal with it.

It was totally unexpected for her.

It is true that accidents make people unforgettable.

An Zhu pondered for a while, then looked at Wang Yuanling and couldn't help but sigh: "Boss Ling, he seems to really like you. With just one move, he solved the problem that we have been struggling with. He is so good to you, will you..."

An Zhu was about to speak but stopped talking.

Wang Yuanling: “No.” The same answer as always.

But she herself did not notice that the cold voice had quietly become very soft.

She forced herself to suppress her chaotic thoughts, her watery eyes gathering a sharp focus. "The PR department should follow up immediately and control public opinion. Don't let the old man become suspicious of us."

An Zhu immediately said: "Yes!"

Wait for Anzhu to go out.

She picked up and put down her phone.

The screen remained fixed on the dialogue interface with him.

The slender fingertips lifted and dropped on the screen.

For the first time, I felt that typing was a very difficult thing.

Enter repeatedly and delete repeatedly.

Finally, she slammed the lock button and the screen went dark.

My body slumped back against the wide chair, but my thoughts kept retracing—his outward indifference last night, yet a flash of darkness in his eyes; and that final, self-deprecating confession:

"I actually have selfish motives in explaining this scandal."

"I want to bet whether you will have sympathy for me in this predicament, just like you did on the ship before."

His dark eyes, when fixed on her for an unblinking moment, were enough to disturb any still pool of water.

"Ding-ling-ling." The sudden ringing of the phone instantly pulled her out of the water of memories. She was soaked and looked particularly embarrassed.

It’s Mr. Wang calling.

The moment he answered the phone, his face was covered with an impeccable mask of gentleness, and his voice was steady and calm: "Hello, Grandpa."

Mr. Wang said in a deep and solemn voice: [The group's senior executives have collectively been exposed in scandals. What do you think about this?]

Wang Yuanling unconsciously sat up straight, his spine slightly tense, revealing a state of tension: [There's something fishy about this matter. I've asked Anzhu to investigate.]

Finally, she probed: [Do you also think there is a problem?]

Elder Wang said solemnly, "One incident can be considered a sudden one, but a collective one must be a premeditated act. An investigation is necessary. Secondly, since they've collectively been in trouble, it's not appropriate to interfere with the group's internal affairs for the time being. From now on, all core matters will be under your full authority. Under no circumstances will this affect the listing."

The tone of command was firm and unconditional.

This sudden transfer of power should have been a long-awaited development.

The old man took advantage of the situation to push her to the top, but he also invisibly pushed her to the forefront, making her the most direct target of the storm behind the scenes.

Is it trust? Or a new round of testing and exploitation?

"Yes, Grandfather. I understand." Wang Yuanling's voice remained steady and respectful, without a hint of unease. "I will quickly stabilize the situation and ensure the listing plan remains unaffected."

[Hmm.] Old Master Wang seemed quite satisfied with her reaction: [Remember, to resist foreign aggression, you must first stabilize the country. Plug the holes as quickly as possible and minimize the impact.]

【clear. 】

The phone was hung up.

The busy tone echoed hollowly in the silent office.

She unlocked her phone again.

The screen stubbornly remained on that blank dialog box.

The fingertips hovered, trembling slightly.

The traces of deletions and revisions are still there.

Finally, she took a deep breath and quickly typed a few words:

Are you free tonight?
