Three days was enough time for a bomb to explode. News of the Su Group's financial crisis spread like a plague, spreading across major financial media outlets and social media platforms. And this bomb had been planted by Chu Tianche himself.
The news spread at an alarming speed as if it had wings, instantly detonating the entire business community.
The Su Group, a once prosperous business giant, is now mired in a quagmire and on the verge of collapse, as if it will collapse at any time.
The source of the news was Chu Tianche.
In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Chu Tianche lit the ZIPPO in his hand with a "click". The flame leaped up, making his handsome face flicker.
He took a deep puff of his cigarette, and thick white smoke gushed out, covering his eagle-like sharp eyes.
He snorted coldly, "Su family, the fun has just begun!"
He whispered to himself, his voice full of coldness and determination, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, its edge exposed.
The Su Group was already in chaos, with people panicking like ants on a hot pan.
With Chu Tianche's support, Su Zhiyuan became even more unscrupulous.
Following Chu Tianche's instructions, he secretly spread rumors and revealed all the shameful things that happened in the Su Group. Every step he took was precise and ruthless.
At the board meeting, he was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, spitting everywhere, criticizing Su Zhengxiong's decisions over the years, and almost pointing at his nose and calling him old and confused.
He knew very well that as long as Su Zhengxiong was brought down, the Su Group would be doomed.
The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely tense, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, as if it could be ignited by a match.
Su Zhengxiong stared at Su Zhiyuan intently, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, his temples throbbing, like an old lion ready to eat people at any time.
With a loud bang, he slapped the table, almost making a dent in the fine mahogany tabletop, and the water in the teacup spilled out.
"Su Zhiyuan! Are you fucking trying to rebel against the heavens?!" He roared like thunder, and the whole conference room trembled.
Su Zhiyuan did not flinch. He stood up suddenly, leaned forward, and placed his hands on the table. He looked around with a sharp gaze and raised his voice with a hint of provocation:
"What do I want to do? I want to save the Su Group! Instead of watching it go to destruction in your hands!"
His words, like a bomb, exploded in the crowd, deafening everyone.
The shareholders were talking and whispering to each other. They were already worried about the company's prospects, and now they were even more uneasy, like a frightened bird.
The stock price of Su Group was like a roller coaster, plummeting to the bottom in an instant, and it was so green that it made people feel uneasy.
Those shareholders were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They sold their stocks crying and shouting, and they wanted to immediately draw a clear line with the Su Group for fear of being dragged down by this sinking ship.
In the stock exchange, on the huge electronic screen, the stock price of Su Group was jumping wildly. The glaring red color was like a sharp knife, stinging everyone's nerves.
The shouts of traders and the ringing of telephones, like countless flies buzzing in ears, intertwined into a chaotic noise. The entire hall was in chaos, like an out-of-control beehive.
In Su Zhengxiong's office, the phone rang one after another, like a death curse, one louder than the other.
"Hello, Mr. Su, I'm Mr. Li from Everbright. Your company's money..."
On the other end of the phone, President Li, who usually treated Su Zhengxiong as a brother, now had a voice as cold as ice.
"Hey, Brother Li, listen to me. We at Su's are just a little short on cash lately. We'll pay you back in a few days, as soon as the funds arrive. Please don't..."
Su Zhengxiong was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and began to stutter when he spoke.
"Don't try that on me!"
President Li interrupted Su Zhengxiong with a bang, "It's clearly written in the contract. If you can't pay the money, you can expect to be sued!"
“Bang!”
With a sound, the phone was hung up. The busy tone was like a heavy hammer, hitting Su Zhengxiong's heart hard. He leaned back in the chair dejectedly, his face pale and his eyes empty, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
Then, another call came in: "Mr. Su, this is Mr. Wang from Huasheng Company. The cooperation project we discussed earlier..."
"Mr. Wang, can we discuss that project again..." Su Zhengxiong forced himself to cheer up and tried to make amends.
"Discuss? No need! We've already decided to end our cooperation, so let's leave it at that!"
Mr. Wang's voice was cold and ruthless, and he hung up the phone.
One phone call after another, like a series of cannonballs, constantly bombarded Su Zhengxiong's nerves. The bank was demanding payment, and partners were breaking contracts. He felt dizzy and his chest felt like a huge rock was pressing on it, making it almost impossible to breathe.
The former glory now collapsed like a mirage, leaving only endless pain and despair surrounding him.
The news seemed to have wings and flew into Su Qing's ears.
She hurried to Su Zhengxiong's office, opened the door, and asked in a trembling voice, "Dad, what happened to the company?"
Su Zhengxiong sat behind his desk, his hands crossed and clenched tightly together, his knuckles turning white.
He raised his head and looked at his daughter. His lips moved and his voice was hoarse: "Qingqing, you are here."
"Dad, tell me, is the company going to go bankrupt?" Su Qing's voice was full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Su Zhengxiong's body trembled slightly. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then slowly opened them and said in a low voice:
