61 Conspiracy
The chairman's office was empty in the morning, and it wasn't until 2 p.m. that Chu Xiao appeared unhurriedly in slippers.
Yes, Yu Chun was slapped by her father, and Chu Xiao forgot to change her shoes when she accompanied her to the hospital.
After being threatened by her father, Chu Xiao realized she was wearing slippers when she left the hospital.
But it didn't matter, since no one at the pancake company could control her now, so she went to work in her slippers.
With the release of the board restructuring announcement at 1:30 pm and the public disclosure of the lawsuit against the rumor-mongering marketing accounts, market confidence quickly recovered.
The share price of Jianbing Group surged from -5% in the morning session to close up 7%, marking its biggest single-day gain this month.
The crisis created by some ambitious individuals was perfectly resolved, and Chu Xiao's position as the successor to his father in running the pancake group was temporarily secured.
After hanging up the last item on her schedule, she looked up at the clock diagonally in front of her—4:59, it was almost time to get off work!
Chu Xiao closed her laptop impatiently.
She felt like she was going to throw up from working so much overtime these past few days!
Now that the emergency has been dealt with, we can handle the rest of the work tomorrow.
She needs to relax a bit...
At 5 p.m. sharp, Chu Xiao was about to leave, empty-handed and wearing slippers.
However, as soon as she pushed the office door open a crack, she spotted Wang Xue walking toward the chairman's office with a serious expression.
"..."
She remembered that Wang Xue had the same expression when she last reported the negative news about the Jianbing Group.
Chu Xiao had a bad feeling.
So what happened again?!
She silently pushed the door back open and sat back down in the leather chair.
Sure enough, less than a minute later, a crisp knock sounded on the chairman's office door.
"Please come in." Chu Xiao respected Wang Xue, an outstanding woman who was not only a capable assistant to Jian's father but also now fully supported him.
If it's someone from her small mining company knocking on her office door, she usually won't bother saying "please."
...
Wang Xue pushed open the door and entered. Her gaze inadvertently swept under the desk and immediately spotted a pair of feet wearing large black slippers.
Wang Xue's gaze lingered on the slippers for half a second without her noticing.
Why do these slippers look so much like men's slippers...?
Such a large size... these must be men's slippers!
Black slippers, skipping work, only appearing in the afternoon... Eighteen kinds of domineering CEO novel plots flashed through Wang Xue's mind in an instant.
She lowered her head, adjusted her glasses, placed the documents on the table without changing her expression, and handed over the tablet, pretending that she hadn't seen anything.
Chu Xiao unconsciously rubbed the blood diamond on his thumb.
The tablet Wang Xue handed over was displaying the last footage from the dashcam—the moment when Jian's father's Maybach suddenly went out of control on the cross-river bridge and crashed head-on into the guardrail. The monitoring time showed that it was the Nth day of Chu Xiao's absence from work.
"We've found out," Wang Xue reported very seriously. "The chairman originally just wanted to put on a show."
The projection screen lit up, and a clip from a melodramatic soap opera began to play.
The male protagonist lies on a hospital bed, his body wrapped in bandages, while the female protagonist cries out, "I'll agree to anything as long as you wake up!"
Chu Xiao squinted and recognized that this was the surveillance footage from the media room of one of Jian's father's concubines' residence, and the date showed that it was the N-4th day since she had made excuses to return to the group.
"..."
Chu Xiao stared at the frozen image of the car crash, utterly speechless.
She realized for the first time that Jian's father was also quite talented; of all things to learn, he had to learn from Qiong Yao.
Has Jane's father gone mad from watching TV?
Wang Xue clicked on another recording.
Jane's father's voice, mixed with the background noise of the television, said: "...Arrange for an ambulance to wait nearby...I don't believe she won't come back..."
In the background, there's the coquettish laughter of a young woman, presumably the third-tier starlet that Jane's father made famous last year.
“The problem lies here.” Wang Xue zoomed in on the vehicle inspection record. “The chairman requested a ‘controlled impact’ modification, but someone swapped the brake lines.”
Her face was grave. "The maintenance team leader was found in the dock warehouse yesterday; he's... dead."
