Chapter 248: An accident at the construction site

Okay, if you're willing to participate, then I can actually not hide it from you—do you know what I've been doing lately?

Isn't it just merging the Minghui Group?

Yes, that's just one of them; right now, I don't even have control over that item—I'm talking about the other businesses.

Acquiring Xing Ya Company?

Heh, you're really sharp; it seems I can't hide anything from you. Do you know how many shares I currently hold?

General Manager Xiao, looking at your situation, I'd estimate you have at least fifty percent?

After saying that, Xiao Ming merely stared blankly for a moment.

Liu Peipei's intelligence goes without saying, but he never expected she would have investigated himself so thoroughly.

Frankly, he doesn't want to keep such a person by his side, because knowing too much might not be a good thing for him.

What's up, Chief Liu? Isn't it that much? If the shares are too few, then we won't be able to take over this company.

The shares aren't a problem, and your guess is completely correct—I really do have five percent of the shares. I just want to know where your information comes from.

General Manager Xiao, I already told you—I definitely won't tell you the source of the information, but I can only tell you that I've confirmed it comes from him alone.

Okay, let's not talk about all that for now, but there's something I need you to do.

General Manager Xiao, go ahead—what do you need me to do?

Enter Xing Ya Company.

What? Enter Xing Ya Company? At this point, what could I do by entering Xingye Company?

With inside‑outside cooperation, help me find out about Xing Ya Company's current internal transactions; besides, if I'm on the outside, I ultimately can't make a move.

General Manager Xiao, I just can't understand this—you already have that many shares in your hand; normally you could fully oppose him, so why go to all this trouble?

The matter isn't as simple as you imagine; if I directly went ahead with this malicious acquisition, maybe I could take it over, but I'm afraid there are other things involved, and then I wouldn't be able to get out.

You mean letting me enter Xing Ya Company to get hold of their core secrets, right?

Yes, if we could get hold of their core secrets, that would be perfect; if we really can't find out, knowing some of their normal internal operations would also be acceptable.

Upon hearing that, Liu Peipei merely hesitated a little.

I had just gotten close to Xiao Ming's side, and now, in the blink of an eye, am I supposed to kick myself out again?

What exactly is this Xiao Ming selling out of his gourd?

Does he really want to kick me out with one foot, or is he truly intending to make me his sole trusted aide?

The outcomes of these two meanings are actually the same, but their manifestations are completely different.

Liu Peipei is unwilling to face unfamiliar faces every day.

But there's no way around it—since it's an order from Xiao Ming, she truly has no excuse to shirk it.

After Xiao Ming had arranged everything properly, he then gave the company's daily tasks a simple handling.

Actually, basically there's nothing else; he has now placed his main focus on merging the Minghui Group and acquiring Xing Ya Company.

The acquisition plan has been temporarily shelved here, but whether the Xing Ya matter can proceed depends on the information Liu Peipei gathers.

General Manager Xiao.

Just then, suddenly, his secretary pushed open the door and walked in.

Oh, what's wrong? Is there something?

General Manager Xiao, something happened at our construction site.

What happened? Which construction site?

It's the amusement park project currently under construction.

Which project are you talking about? That project has been going smoothly, hasn't it? What could possibly happen at a construction site?

Someone fell from a temporary lift and has just been sent to the hospital.

Oh, it's a safety accident—just hand it over to the project manager to handle; compensate if needed, and we absolutely can't say anything about it.

General Manager Xiao, it's not that simple—because the person who fell isn't one of our construction-site workers?

What? Not one of our workers? Then what was he doing there? Have you figured out what exactly happened?

Supposedly, he came to inspect this project, and he also said he has a strong background—General Manager Xiao, this matter probably isn't that simple.

What do you mean? When it came to checking things, why hadn't the project manager ever told me about this before?

I'm not clear either—I just came from over there, gathered some information, and that's why I'm rushing to report this to you.

What about that person? How is he injured now?

I'm not sure—reportedly he fell from about five stories up, and his body definitely sustained some injuries.

Alright, I got it—hurry up, arrange a car, and then come with me.

Okay, General Manager Xiao, I'll go get ready now.

After saying that, the secretary turned and left this place.

Xiao Ming actually felt it was also somewhat strange.

Because over the years the company has always been peaceful and untroubled, especially in engineering, one could say it has implemented very strict safety measures.

If everything is followed according to normal procedure, there definitely won't be any problems.

But now, out of the blue, such a big problem has arisen, and he feels it might not be as simple as he imagined.

After Xiao Yunzhe arrived at the company, he merely walked around.

Actually, at this stage he doesn't have much to do on his plate.

Moreover, his mind has constantly been preoccupied with other matters, so he's never been able to settle down.

After briefly handing over some of his current tasks, he then rushed off to Geng Jing Shu's home.

Upon arriving, it was just past nine in the morning, and he saw that the gate of the Geng family was tightly closed.

He walked up to it and then rang the doorbell.

Here I come.
