Chapter 1654: Trouble at Home
Fast Chinese.
Dingsheng Group has suffered a major error, with losses of over one billion!
Rumors are flying everywhere outside, all claiming that Dingsheng is about to go bankrupt, that Chairman Sheng Hanyu has already fled, and that his assets have all been transferred abroad.
There is also a version claiming that Dingsheng refused to pay its debts, driving a creditor to the end of his rope; he strapped a bomb to his body and went to the company to perish with the president, but Shi Ran had too many bodyguards, so he didn't manage to blow her up, and the creditor died in hatred...
In any case, the rumors are told with such vivid detail that they sound just like the truth.
The fact that Shi Ran nearly had a miscarriage was finally learned by Sheng Hanyu.
He called his wife and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"
Shi Youxuan said with a hint of apology, "I thought that since you were already having a hard time abroad, I shouldn't tell you about what happened at home to avoid distracting you. I didn't expect so many other things to happen either."
Sheng Hanyu said, "I'm not blaming you; it's just that the opponent is too cunning."
"We almost caught Zhu Qingrui in L Country, but unfortunately, we missed him by just a little, and he still managed to escape."
Shi Youxuan has been married to Sheng Hanyu for decades; the couple understands and cherishes each other, and neither had any words of complaint, instead comforting each other.
Shi Youxuan said, "You don't need to worry about home, I have everything under control. You must take care of your safety abroad."
She really wanted to ask when he would be back.
But she was afraid of making her husband worry, so she swallowed the words she wanted to ask and didn't say them.
Sheng Hanyu knew his wife was worried about him and took the initiative to say, "I still have to stay here for one more day and will return the day after tomorrow. Just hold on a little longer; once I return, everything will get better!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Everything will get better!"
Just after hanging up the phone, Lao Qi came in and said, "Sir, Miss Qi is here to see you."
"Let her in."
"Yes."
Qi Shishi walked in and said to Sheng Hanyu, "Uncle Sheng, are you about to return to the country?"
The matter of returning to the country was only Sheng Hanyu's own thought, and he hadn't told anyone yet.
He asked, "How did you know?"
Qi Shishi replied, "I saw the news. Dingsheng has encountered some very thorny trouble this time, so I guessed you would be returning soon."
Sheng Hanyu looked her over twice and said coldly, "Miss Qi, we are in a cooperative relationship, which should be one of mutual assistance, where we think in the same direction and exert our efforts toward the same goal."
"Although there is a contract to bind us, don't forget that there is also a clause in the contract about not engaging in underhanded actions behind the scenes. If I discover any unpleasant business, the cooperation will be terminated at any time."
Qi Shishi is a smart girl, and she immediately heard the subtext in Sheng Hanyu's words.
"Uncle Sheng, do you suspect that Dingsheng's losses, or even Sister Shi Ran being plotted against, have something to do with me?"
Sheng Hanyu did not hide it and said frankly, "Shi Ran being plotted against was Zhu Qingrui's doing and has nothing to do with you, but I will definitely find out exactly whose loss Dingsheng is suffering."
Qi Shishi's gaze was open and honest: "I believe Uncle Sheng will find out the truth soon and clear my name."
She had been wronged.
From beginning to end, Dingsheng's affairs had absolutely nothing to do with her.
Sheng Hanyu was also very clear about this point.
He knew full well that the matter had nothing to do with Qi Shishi, yet he still spoke this way because he wanted to test her.
Last time, Qi Shishi boasted that she would rescue Nianyin within three hours; although Nianyin ran out on her own, she wouldn't have been so smooth without Qi Shishi's people going to knock on the door.
Having ability is not enough.
He still wanted to see if this girl had the capacity to swallow grievances!
To achieve great things, one cannot lack any of these abilities.
Qi Shishi did not know that she had once again passed the test of her collaborator.
Sheng Hanyu returned to the country.
Shi Youxuan went to the airport to pick him up, but the couple only met at the airport before he went to the company to inspect things, not even returning home.
Shi Youxuan knew that her husband was preparing to return to the front lines, and she couldn't hold him back, so she went home first.
Dingsheng Group.
The Chairman had returned and appeared at the company in a high-profile manner, causing the rumors about Sheng Hanyu fleeing abroad to collapse on their own!
The first thing Sheng Hanyu did upon returning to the company was to convene a meeting with the R&D department.
The main reason for the group's losses this time was because of a set of Environmental Water Purification Equipment.
Dingsheng had hired the best research talent at high salaries and spent two and a half years developing a set of world-class water purification equipment.
Once this equipment was launched, it could allow water discharged by heavy-polluting enterprises to reach national drinking standards.
The R&D process was strictly confidential, and the parties involved had all signed non-disclosure agreements. The entire R&D process was long but smooth, and nothing happened, but just as the project was about to end and be a complete success... someone else registered the patent and trademark first!
They used everything that belonged to Dingsheng, and even the name and pattern of the trademark were exactly the same.
It could be said that they were very arrogant.
By doing this, the other party intended to provoke Dingsheng, and after the incident occurred, Dingsheng was indeed provoked.
The person in charge of the project team was so angry that his blood pressure soared, and he was hospitalized with a cerebral hemorrhage; fortunately, he was rescued in time and managed to save his life.
Although there was no danger to his life, he had not yet been discharged from the hospital.
With the team leader in the hospital, the deputy team leader led people to the other company to reason with them, but they couldn't even get through the front door. They were filled with indignation, so a group of intellectuals did something very crude—they smashed the glass of the other company!
It was just smashed glass, and there were no casualties, but the other party called the police, and so the whole group was locked up.
Picking quarrels and provoking trouble, damaging private property—if their attitude in apologizing had been good, there wouldn't have been any big problem, but the issue was—someone had filmed it and uploaded it to the internet!
The short video uploaded to the internet was taken out of context and maliciously edited. What was originally a reasonable situation was twisted by others, turning Dingsheng into a bully. Dingsheng Group, which was already at the center of the storm, was now even more precarious.
And this series of events happened just two days before Sheng Hanyu returned.
The events were dense, one after another; they seemed unrelated, but a smart person could see that they were all precisely calculated—a chain of schemes, a trap within a trap.
If it were just Dingsheng Group alone, even if Sheng Hanyu had heaven-defying abilities, I fear he would have been crushed this time.
Fortunately, after so many years, Dingsheng Group has deep roots and lush leaves in Jiangzhou, and the several major groups also share what they have with each other; when one is in trouble, everyone helps.
Jian Yixin and her younger brother, Sheng Zerong, and Yun Zhehao all set aside their own family businesses and used every possible method to protect Dingsheng Group.
Although Dingsheng Group suffered losses, it did not suffer any damage to its foundation.
Sheng Hanyu returned and turned the tide.
The team leader, deputy team leader, and core personnel of the R&D department were almost completely wiped out, with some in the hospital and some at the police station.
Those who came to the meeting were either interns or people who did odd jobs in the R&D team.
Seeing the Chairman, these people sitting in the conference room were so moved that their eyes filled with tears, as if they were seeing long-lost relatives.
