Chapter 124 Procrastination
Gu Ningwei is holding a meeting in the conference room. Today is the monthly meeting chaired by Gu Zhiguang.
The project managers went through the meeting one by one and reported on their project work using the PPT on the projector.
Gu Zhicheng held the teacup and listened carefully, his face gloomy and silent.
After all the projects were reported, Gu Zhiguang turned to Gu Zhicheng and asked, "Chairman, do you have any important instructions?"
Gu Zhicheng snorted with a straight face, "What can I say? The situation is right in front of us. If we continue like this, we'll all be finished. The group will collapse, and you won't benefit from it. Now that the situation is like this, I don't believe that people like you who have been working in real estate and engineering can get such high salaries."
Everyone in the meeting was silent, with their heads down, not looking at his face.
Gu Zhiguang waved his hand and said, "Well, well, let's talk about some specific work. We still need to have confidence. The more difficult the time, the more important confidence is. Let's work together and overcome the difficulties together."
He looked around and said, "Everyone, tell me what we should do next. Let's brainstorm." He laughed a few more times.
No one spoke.
Gu Zhiguang stopped smiling awkwardly and glanced at everyone's faces.
Everyone at the meeting looked unhappy.
Everyone knew that Chengguang's problem could not be solved by holding a few regular meetings and raising questions and suggestions. It was useless whether they raised it or not, and whether they said it or not.
It is better to say less and make fewer mistakes, and do nothing to avoid mistakes.
If you really want to make a statement by name, it's best to just be superficial and say a few words that are not very meaningful.
Gu Zhiguang saw everyone's lazy expressions and understood everything. He looked at Gu Ningwei and said, "Mr. Gu, what do you want to say? I heard that you guys conducted an in-depth audit of each project company. Is the audit report out yet? If not, you should hurry up and provide valuable feedback on the group's work."
Gu Ningwei smiled and said, "The data is still being sorted and verified. Mr. Jiang knows the specific situation."
Gu Zhiguang looked at Jiang Jin again, "Boss Jiang, don't just listen and not talk. What stage is the work you're in charge of at this point? Is the draft report ready?"
Jiang Jin bowed slightly and said, "It hasn't been properly audited in all these years. The data is really messy and is still being sorted out."
Gu Zhicheng frowned and looked at him: "Is it so difficult?"
Jiang Jin nodded: "It is indeed very troublesome."
Gu Zhiguang said, "Isn't there some kind of AI technology these days? I heard it can improve efficiency. You should also keep up with the times and utilize new technologies. Seize the time and get out as soon as possible."
Jiang Jin nodded.
"Just nodding isn't enough; there has to be a deadline." Gu Zhiguang pressed further, "When can you turn in the first draft?"
Jiang Jin frowned in thought. His eyes met Gu Ningwei's, and the other frowned slightly. Jiang Jin said, "It will take more than a month at the earliest."
Gu Zhiguang frowned: "So long?"
Jiang Jin remained silent. Gu Ningwei added, "Indeed, we haven't done a thorough review in all these years. Now, if we need to check the old accounts, it takes ages just to find the information. There are also issues with the data preservation for some projects."
Gu Ningwei came to his rescue: "Boss Jiang is having some difficulties. We should give them a little more time. It has come to this point. We don't mind another month..."
Gu Zhicheng frowned and interrupted impatiently: "Alright, alright, you don't have to keep insisting on the reasons. I'll just do it your way. One month at a time. If you can't come up with it by then, I'll hold you responsible."
Gu Ningwei smiled and agreed.
Gu Zhiguang looked at Jiang Jin and said, "How about this? President Jiang, take the lead and have them work a few more overtime hours, and try to submit the first draft of the report within 20 days. We will hold a board meeting at the beginning of next month to discuss these issues."
He then looked at Secretary Xie and said, "Secretary Xie, remember, we'll have a board meeting at the beginning of next month."
Secretary Xie nodded and wrote it down in his notes.
Gu Zhiguang glanced at Gu Ningwei and Jiang Jin again, "You two are young people, you must show the fighting spirit of youth. Moreover, you are both closely related to the group, so you must set an example."
Gu Zhicheng also hummed: "Especially Gu Ningwei, you have to..."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Ningwei's phone on the table began to vibrate rapidly. Gu Ningwei flipped the screen and looked at it. His face changed slightly. He stood up and said, "Sorry, I have an important call."
He walked outside, closed the door of the conference room, and answered the phone: "Doctor Fang? What's wrong?"
Fang Jiayan's anxious voice came from the other end: "Mr. Gu, please come to the hospital immediately. Han was hit by someone..."
Gu Ningwei's breathing stagnated. He was stunned for a long time before asking, "How is it? Is it dangerous?"
Fang Jiayan said, "Let's talk about it when you get here. Come to the emergency building and find me."
With that she hung up the phone.
Gu Ningwei stuffed his phone into his trouser pocket, pushed open the door to the conference room, leaned halfway in, and said to Gu Zhicheng, "I'm not going to the meeting anymore. I'm going to the hospital right away."
Then he said to Jiang Jin, "Do you have your car keys with you? Give me your car keys. I won't go back to the office to get them."
Jiang Jin took out the car keys from his pocket and tossed them to him, then asked, "Who's in the hospital?"
Gu Ningwei ignored him, took the key, turned around and left, leaving everyone looking at each other in confusion.
He stood at the elevator entrance waiting for the elevator, but it was noon and the elevator was difficult to wait for. The numbers on the display showed that it stopped at each floor.
Gu Ningwei cursed and pressed the elevator buttons frantically, almost poking holes in them.
Jiang Jin came over at some point and stood beside him. He asked, "Is it Han Que?"
Gu Ningwei glanced at him and nodded.
Jiang Jin: "What happened to her?"
Gu Ningwei said, "Was he hit by a car?"
"Ah? What's going on?" Jiang Jin's eyes suddenly widened.
Gu Ningwei shook his head, "I don't know."
"That child..." Jiang Jin wanted to ask something, but Gu Ningwei glanced at him and he didn't say anything.
Gu Ningwei didn't say anything either. He stared at the elevator display screen above the door with his teeth clenched.
When the elevator arrived, Gu Ningwei squeezed in and said to Jiang Jin who was standing at the door, "Don't say anything when you go back. Wait for my news..."
Jiang Jin nodded.
Gu Ningwei was driving recklessly when he was stopped by a traffic police officer at an intersection. He opened the car window, handed over his electronic driver's license on his phone, and said to the traffic officer, "Sorry, I need to go to the hospital. My wife was just hit by a car..."
The traffic policeman lowered his head to make a note, then handed the phone back to him and scolded him, "Your wife was hit by a car, and you were driving so fast. What if you hit someone else?"
Gu Ningwei nodded repeatedly, looking like he was listening attentively. Seeing his good attitude, the traffic police waved his hand and let him go.
Gu Ningwei sighed and started the car again. Now he didn't dare to drive fast, but his heart felt like it was being gnawed by millions of ants.
Finally arriving at the hospital and parking the car with great difficulty, he rushed all the way to the emergency building while calling Fang Jiayan.
Fang Jiayan held her cell phone and saw Gu Ningwei running out of breath and sweating profusely, and shook her head secretly.
Gu Ningwei asked breathlessly, "Where's Han Que? How's he?"
Fang Jiayan pointed inside the door and said, "They're doing an ultrasound inside to check on the baby."
Gu Ningwei said "oh" and then asked anxiously, "Where's the master? Did he get hurt anywhere?"
Fang Jiayan said: "Han Que is fine. I heard it was a motorcycle, so the impact wasn't that great. She just had some scrapes."
Gu Ningwei breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I was so scared. I thought it was..."
"It's obviously targeting her child." Someone interrupted from behind.
Gu Ningwei looked back and saw a young man standing behind him. He was wearing glasses, dressed elegantly and was very refined.
Gu Ningwei frowned slightly and glanced at him quickly: "Who are you?"
"Xie Ming."
Xie Ming smiled faintly, looking Gu Ningwei up and down.
"Oh, this gentleman called an ambulance to take Han Que to our hospital. Han Que called me and asked me to wait for her in the emergency room."
Gu Ningwei then nodded to Xie Ming and said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you for saving her."
Xie Ming waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."
Gu Ningwei frowned slightly and asked again, "Mr. Xie, can you tell me what happened at that time?"
Xie Ming thought for a moment and said, "Han Que and I met at a coffee shop to discuss something. She left first, and I was still inside. I happened to be facing the window, and I saw a motorcycle hit her, so I ran out. When I ran out, the car turned back and hit her a second time. I shouted, and the car ran away..."
"Motorcycle? Hit her on purpose?" Gu Ningwei frowned.
"Ah?" Fang Jiayan exclaimed in surprise when she heard this, and looked up at Gu Ningwei: "Who is trying to harm her?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it's because her pregnancy has harmed the interests of certain people." Xie Ming sneered at the side.
Gu Ningwei glanced at him sharply, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Fang Jiayan said, "If someone deliberately wanted to harm her, then if it doesn't work this time, there will be a second time. It's simply impossible to guard against." She glanced at Gu Ningwei and said, "But why use a motorcycle?"
Gu Ningwei didn't say anything.
Xie Ming said: "Motorcycles are small and their license plates are hidden, so surveillance cameras can't see them clearly. Some motorcycles don't even have license plates, so even if you use surveillance cameras, you can't see them, making them difficult to detect."
Gu Ningwei nodded secretly.
Xie Ming went on to say, "And their target this time wasn't Han Que herself, but the baby in her belly. They hit her with a motorcycle, and the force was enough. If someone was injured or killed, someone would definitely have to take the blame. They probably didn't think it was necessary to go to such lengths."
"The main purpose this time?" Fang Jiayan panicked and looked at Xie Ming: "Does that mean there are other purposes?"
Xie Ming turned around and glanced at Gu Ningwei.
Fang Jiayan looked at Gu Ningwei and asked worriedly, "Boss Gu, what's going on? Doesn't that mean Han Que is in danger? What should we do?"
Gu Ningwei clenched his fists in his trouser pockets, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
The door of the ultrasound room was pushed open, and the doctor inside stuck his head out and called out, "Doctor Fang, come in too."
Fang Jiayan said "Oh" and hurried in.
The door was closed, and Gu Ningwei took out a cigarette from his pocket. Just as he was about to smoke it, he remembered that he couldn't smoke, so he put it back into his pocket.
Xie Ming watched him from the side.
Gu Ningwei met his gaze and chuckled, "Thank you, reporter. Your analysis makes sense, but I still want to ask, what other news have you got?"
