Chapter 326: Chain of Troubles
Every company's financial statements are strictly confidential, and the Zhu Corporation is no exception; there are only a few people who can access these statements, and even if they could access them, they would only know a part, not the whole.
The only person who can see everything is Zhu Yiwen himself.
Could it be that he betrayed himself?
Now that everyone is at a loss, they have all come to find Zhu Yiwen, urging him to quickly come up with a good idea to eliminate the impact on the internet as soon as possible!
He wants to come up with a good idea faster than anyone else, but he just can't think of a way.
That financial statement being exposed on the internet has caused a greater stir than the consequences of a murder!
The company has a very serious capital shortage problem; originally, outsiders didn't know, but now everyone knows.
Continuing the cooperation carries great risk; if Zhu Yiwen goes bankrupt, his partners will all suffer along with him.
Therefore, Zhu Yiwen can understand why these people came, but understanding does not mean accepting.
Zhu Yiwen cannot think of a way to eliminate the impact on the internet, but that does not mean he has no way to fool the people in front of him.
He feigned composure and glanced at the internet; although his heart was already churning with stormy waves, his expression remained light and breezy: "This is fake, just rumors."
"Think about it, since they can spread rumors on the internet that I committed murder, what else is there that they wouldn't do?" Zhu Yiwen calmly had someone pour tea and brought out fruit to entertain them.
He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly: "I know you came here for the sake of our long-term cooperation, but I also know about the people from Jiangzhou coming to find you; they must have promised you many generous conditions, right..."
"However, they are foreigners after all; no matter how generous the conditions are, it's only temporary. We are the locals, and doing business is about the long run—you can't get fat in one bite!"
Zhu Yiwen has many ways; with just a few words, he rendered the benefits promised by Yun Zhehao and Sheng Hanyu invisible.
These people are all seasoned veterans in business, so of course they know the stakes involved; coming here this time was merely to seek a guarantee and peace of mind.
Zhu Yiwen swore that the financial statements on the internet were fake and not their company's real statements at all, but merely a tactic used by rivals to smear them.
To show his sincerity, he even had someone go to the finance department to bring the statements for these partners to audit!
It was a dense, thick stack, a full meter high; unless one was a true professional, one wouldn't be able to understand it at all.
Let alone reading it, just looking at the height was enough to make people feel dizzy.
These people only came to probe the reality of the situation, so seeing him say this, they all felt relieved.
Someone began to state their position: "I won't look; I believe Chairman Zhu. You are right, we locals should trust locals and not let those outsiders sow discord."
"Right, I think so too."
"Then let's go, let's go back and wait for news; don't disturb Chairman Zhu's work..."
People came aggressively, and then they all left in a flurry.
"Whew—"
Once the people were gone, Zhu Yiwen slumped into his executive chair and let out a long sigh.
His superficial calmness and composure helped him successfully weather this crisis!
But before he could fully relax, people from the Tax Bureau arrived.
The Tax Bureau came to audit the accounts.
Because that statement on the internet not only showed that the company had a huge deficit, but also showed that the Zhu Corporation was seriously evading taxes and that the tax payment amounts were severely inconsistent.
Inconsistency is normal; Zhu Yiwen still used his old method—using money to plug their mouths!
Only this time, he was rejected once again.
These people, just like that bureau chief, spoke in righteous official jargon, saying they wouldn't take his money no matter what, and only wanted to investigate his accounts!
Zhu Yiwen was overwhelmed.
But at this moment, "bad news" came from the hospital, urging him to go over immediately, saying that his wife had suddenly fainted and was unconscious!
Zhu Yiwen used this opportunity to get rid of the Tax Bureau people and had someone give them the real fake accounts to audit.
Let them audit; going through the motions wouldn't cause any problems. If they really wanted to hold onto his pigtail and not let go, he would release the evidence.
Pulling out a radish brings out the mud; since no one is clean to begin with, don't think about pretending to be as clean as a lotus flower when trouble strikes.
Hospital.
"What's going on? Why did my wife suddenly faint?" Zhu Yiwen grabbed the attending physician by the collar, demanding an explanation in a fit of rage.
All his good temper and patience had been exhausted at the company just now; in front of the doctor, there was no need, nor did he want to continue the act.
The doctor was very innocent, spreading his hands to indicate it had nothing to do with him; the wife's sudden coma was related to the overdose of medication from a few days ago.
And the patient's overdose of medication was all Zhu Yiwen's fault.
The doctor had advised against it, but Zhu Yiwen wouldn't listen!
Zhu Yiwen didn't want to hear his excuses, nor did he want to pursue whose fault it was; he only wanted Shi Youxuan to wake up immediately.
"No matter what method you use, make her wake up immediately, otherwise your career will be over." He threatened the doctor.
The doctor: "Mr. Zhu, please calm down. I am a doctor; I will certainly do my best."
Zhu Yiwen: "No, I don't want to hear about 'doing my best,' I only want to see my wife wake up."
If it weren't for the fact that a few days ago he disregarded his wife's health and forced the doctor to prescribe an overdose, hearing him say this now, the doctor would have thought he was deeply in love with his wife!
"I can only do my best, or you can seek a more brilliant doctor."
The doctor in front of Zhu Yiwen is the best doctor in L Country; if there really were someone more brilliant, Zhu Yiwen would have taken the initiative to change doctors without him saying anything.
Zhu Yiwen stood guard outside the emergency room, pacing back and forth anxiously.
Shi Youxuan had been pushed in for two hours already, and the light outside the emergency room was still on.
"What's going on?" Zhu Yiwen said to the hospital president who was accompanying him on the side: "Have someone go in and see, why hasn't she woken up yet?"
The president was just about to speak when the light above the operating room went out!
The door to the emergency room opened, and the doctor came out and said to Zhu Yiwen: "Mr. Zhu, I am powerless."
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean by 'nothing can be done'?"
Zhu Yiwen grabbed the doctor by the collar again and warned him viciously: "I don't care what method you use, you must wake my wife up as soon as possible. Where is that expert? Go and bring him back; I'll pay any amount of money, make him come back immediately!"
He was now almost on the verge of a breakdown.
Everything was linked together, one thing after another, so densely that it didn't give him a chance to catch his breath.
But while Zhu Yiwen could find ways to solve other matters, Shi Youxuan suddenly fainting had become the final straw that broke the camel's back!
Although the first wave of loans had been resolved, the second wave was due immediately!
If Shi Youxuan didn't wake up, there would be no one to help him profit in the international stock and futures markets; what was the point of him putting in so much effort to bring Shi Youxuan back?
Wasn't it all for this?
Therefore, she must wake up!
This was Zhu Yiwen's obsession.
"I truly have no way, I am very sorry." The doctor bowed ninety degrees and turned to leave.
"No, you cannot leave!"
Zhu Yiwen dragged the doctor back and said viciously: "Use electric shocks, use a pacemaker, or inject morphine; you must make her wake up, even if she can only live for one week, that will do."
The doctor and the hospital director looked at him in shock; this was blatant murder!
