Chapter 2097: Why, Do You Want It Too?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"President Ye, aren’t you being too biased?" Zhang Youting teased him from the side, her tone jealous. "Such a big jewelry group, and you just gave it to Sister Xuan just like that?"
Ye Feng turned to look at her with a faint smile. "Why, do you want it too?"
"How would I dare?" Zhang Youting stuck out her tongue. "I’m just a secretary. I’m not as capable as Sister Xuan."
"It’s good that you know that you’re a secretary." Ye Feng smiled and looked at Chen Xuan. "This corporation is in a mess now. You have to be mentally prepared."
Chen Xuan had already calmed down.
She took a deep breath, and the gentleness on her face faded. It was replaced by the coldness and decisiveness unique to the queen of the business world.
"I know." Chen Xuan’s voice was very steady. "Chen Dehan and his son have been running the company for so many years. Who knows how many parasites there are in the company? The finances must be in a mess."
"President Niu, I’ll have to trouble you from now on." She looked at Niu Songran.
"President Chen, you’re too polite." Niu Songran quickly lowered his head. "This is what I should do."
"Alright then." Chen Xuan nodded. She looked at Ye Feng. "Little Feng, I need time for the handover and investigation."
"Whatever you need." Ye Feng was very straightforward. "If you need any support, just tell me."
"Yes." Chen Xuan smiled. Her smile was filled with confidence and strength.
Ye Feng also smiled.
He turned around and looked at the others in the hall.
The employees all had their heads lowered, not daring to breathe too loudly. They did not know how the new boss and the new person in charge would deal with them.
"Today’s matter ends here." Ye Feng’s voice echoed in the hall. "President Niu and President Chen will be in charge of the investigation. You know very well who among you has done anything."
He paused, and his voice turned cold.
"I can consider leniency if you take the initiative to confess."
"Or if you’d rather wait to be found out..."
Ye Feng did not finish, but everyone understood what he meant.
The hall was deathly silent.
Ye Feng did not say anything else. He turned to Chen Xuan and Zhang Youting. "Let’s go. Let’s go to the office and do the basic handover first."
"Alright." Chen Xuan nodded.
Zhang Youting quickly followed.
The three of them were about to leave when Niu Songran suddenly said, "Boss Ye, President Chen, I’ll get someone to tidy up the meeting room. I’ll have someone bring the relevant documents over immediately."
"Thank you." Ye Feng nodded.
Niu Songran quickly arranged for someone to do the work.
At this moment--
"Ding, ding, ding..."
Suddenly, a phone rang.
It was Zhang Youting’s phone.
She frowned and took out her phone to look at the screen. It was a subordinate’s phone number. She wanted to hang up, but she remembered that the other party was in charge of a charity project sponsored by Lingyun Real Estate. She hesitated for a moment and answered the call.
"Hello?"
She had just said one word when an urgent and sobbing female voice came from the other end of the phone. "Secretary Zhang, it’s not good! Something had happened! We’ve run into scammers! These villagers are all--"
The voice stopped abruptly.
Immediately after, a chaotic noise came from the phone. There were sounds of men cursing, women screaming, and things breaking.
And then--
"Beep, beep, beep..."
The call was hung up.
Zhang Youting’s expression changed instantly.
She almost instinctively wanted to rush out.
"Youting? What’s wrong?" Chen Xuan stopped her and asked, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Ye Feng also looked at her.
Zhang Youting looked up. Her face was pale and her lips were trembling. She looked at Chen Xuan and then at Ye Feng. She opened her mouth but no sound came out.
"Speak." Ye Feng frowned.
Zhang Youting took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, but her voice still trembled uncontrollably.
"It’s, it’s the charity project we sponsored... It’s a call from the frontline staff..."
She paused and said in disbelief,
"She said that the villagers in the so-called poor mountainous areas that we donated to..."
"They are all liars."
Chen Xuan’s eyes instantly widened.
Ye Feng frowned even more.
"The call?" Ye Feng asked.
"H-hung up..." Zhang Youting’s voice was trembling. "I didn’t finish talking before I was cut off... It seems that someone stole her phone..."
The hall was silent.
Everyone looked at the three of them.
Niu Songran also sensed that something was wrong, but he tactfully did not speak. He just stood to the side and waited quietly.
Chen Xuan’s expression turned ugly.
She looked at Zhang Youting. "Call back."
Zhang Youting nodded. With trembling hands, she dialed the number back.
"I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off..."
A cold electronic female voice came from the receiver.
Zhang Youting’s face was as white as paper.
"It’s turned off..." She muttered, then she suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Xuan and Ye Feng. Her eyes were filled with panic and fear. "Sister Xuan, President Ye, that staff member... She might be in trouble!"
Chen Xuan’s breathing quickened.
