81 They Ran Away
“More than half of the workers at the construction site ran away. They said that they could go to a better place!
Because our construction site is already in a rush period. If we delay like this, I’m afraid the project will really have to stop!”
The secretary was so anxious that he sounded like he was about to cry.
Everyone in the company knew how much hope Luo Chen had for this project.
If there was really a problem, their company’s benchmark for the second half of the year would probably drop crazily.
They might even be unable to recover from this setback!
“What?!”
Luo Chen could not maintain his composure for a moment. His fingers gripped the phone so tightly that it made a creaking sound.
“I’ve already arranged for someone to ask which construction site dared to snatch workers from us, but there’s no concrete news yet.”
After the secretary finished speaking, a commotion came from the receiver.
It seemed that many people had already started to argue.
“Young Master, because there were too many investments in the construction site, the shareholders are very unhappy that there is a problem this time…”
Before the secretary could finish speaking, a commotion reached his ears.
“Hey, Young Master, you’re still in the mood to sleep at home? The few of us old men didn’t sleep for half the night.
Shouldn’t you give us an explanation for such a huge incident?
If I remember correctly, you were the one who made the decision back then. Now that something has gone wrong, can you just wash your hands of it?”
A shareholder roared impolitely.
“Wait, I’ll go over now.”
Luo Chen hung up the phone and rushed to the office.
Along the way, he forced himself to calm down.
If even he couldn’t calm down, it would be a huge problem.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he could not figure out who dared to snatch the workers from him!
Workers themselves rarely make changes after taking on a job.
After all, there was no shortage of migrant workers working on construction sites in Jiang City. There was no need to spend a lot of money to poach people.
It was clear that someone was targeting him!
After understanding this, Luo Chen calmed down bit by bit.
He was afraid that something would happen. Since it was man-made, as the number one villain, he would not have to fear anyone.
“Is it my good second uncle or Su Han?”
Luo Chen mumbled as he drove.
These two people were most likely to sabotage him.
However, a high salary was not something Luo Tianming, who was heavily in debt, could do.
Then, the only possibility was that Su Han had attacked again.
“Su Han, you really aren’t afraid of death.”
Luo Chen gripped the steering wheel tightly as a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
No matter what, if he could confirm that Su Han was the one behind this, he would definitely not forgive him so easily!
At most, they would fight to the death!
…
When he arrived at the company, he immediately saw a secretary waiting anxiously at the door.
The young lady looked like she had cried. Even her exquisite makeup was a little smudged.
“How is it exactly?”
Luo Chen did not waste any time and asked directly.
“Not good… President Zhao is stabilizing the situation inside. If you don’t come soon, I’m afraid things will really get out of control!”
The secretary hurriedly led Luo Chen to the meeting room. On the way, she briefly explained the situation.
Actually, the situation was not complicated.
Because the workers were taken away in large quantities, the construction site halted all work.
Previously, when there was a storm of public opinion on the Internet, they had already set up a supervision office.
In fact, because the completion of the project was imminent, many companies had already started bidding.
If the deadline could not be fulfilled, just compensating the relevant companies for the breach of contract would amount to an astronomical figure!
Moreover, the shareholders had a lot of opinions. If this really caused all parties to withdraw their investments, it would be a big problem!
If anything happened again, Luo Investment Corporation might go bankrupt soon.
“Aren’t the shareholders too anxious? An accident just happened and they decided to withdraw their investment without even seeing me?”
Luo Chen was puzzled.
Although the shareholders were usually dissatisfied with his style, no one went against money-making.
The speed of Luo Investment Corporation’s development and prospects were obvious to all. Anyone in their right mind wouldn’t want to withdraw their investment so easily.
Unless someone instigated it.
“Sigh…”
The secretary opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say anything. She just let out a long sigh.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, Luo Chen saw a man standing guard at the end of the corridor, his face gloomy.
“Ye Bei? Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”
Luo Chen asked in surprise.
When the person heard the commotion, he turned around. It was Ye Bei, who had just recovered from his injuries and rushed over.
“There’s no hurry. I think your company’s matters are more important now. I can talk to you later.”
Ye Bei stared at Luo Chen for a long time. The look in his eyes was as complicated as it could get.
“It’s fine. There’s no hurry. You may speak first.”
Luo Chen was 120% energized by this protagonist.
It had to be known that most of the posturing and face-slapping scenes in the original novel were related to Ye Bei.
His relationship with the protagonist had finally eased a little. Luo Chen didn’t want all his efforts to go to waste.
As for the shareholders who said that they wanted to withdraw their investments…
Who cares?
Although they were shouting happily now, once they were really asked to sell their shares, no one would be willing to be the first to do so.
“I… Actually… Never mind. It’s fine. I came here to tell you something.
I owe you a favor. No matter what happened in the past, if you need any help in the future, you can look for me.
But only once, without violating my principles.”
Ye Bei seemed to have exhausted all his courage to say this.
After saying that, he seemed to feel a little embarrassed. After all, their relationship was far from good.
Before Luo Chen could respond, Ye Bei immediately turned around and walked into the stairwell.
“Hey!”
Luo Chen called out.
In the end, Ye Bei walked even faster.
“No… This is the top floor! How long do you think you’ll take to walk down the stairs!”
As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, Ye Bei’s figure had already disappeared.
He could only shake his head helplessly and chuckle.
Putting everything else aside, this protagonist’s character was guaranteed.
“Young Master?”
The secretary witnessed everything from the side, but at this moment, she was only concerned about how to resolve the company’s predicament. Seeing Luo Chen standing there in a daze, she could not help but urge him.
“Hmm? Yes, let’s go.”
Luo Chen came back to his senses and followed the secretary into the meeting room.
His appearance immediately made the noisy meeting room so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
For a moment, his eyes were filled with disgust and wariness.
