From abandoned baby to CEO

The next day, Xiao Zhang knocked on Sun Xue's office door with a newspaper in his hand and a nervous look on his face.

"Chairman, something big has happened! Yesterday's incident was reported in the newspaper."

Sun Xue took the newspaper handed over by Xiao Zhang, and her eyes were attracted by the headline of a news report: A journalist was beaten up while secretly investigating the quality of a developer's project!

The news reported extensively that a reporter received a tip from the public that a property developed by a developer had major quality problems. When the reporter was investigating and reporting on the scene, he was driven away, insulted and beaten by the project manager.

The report not only reported the developer's name in full, but also provided pictures.

In the picture, Niu Youcai looks aggressive, a reporter falls to the ground, and the camera rolls to the side...

"Didn't they just agree to this?"

After quickly reading the news report, Sun Xue screamed in shock.

"Chairman, once the news comes out, we will be in big trouble!" Xiao Zhang reminded with a worried look on his face.

Fortunately, Sun Xue left the bearded reporter's phone number, and she called him immediately to inquire.

After briefly introducing herself, she got straight to the point and asked, "Hello, reporter Song, didn't you say you wouldn't report this? Why did it end up in the newspaper?"

The bearded man pretended to be clueless, his tone full of surprise:

"Chairman, I really don't know about this. I'll ask for you later..."

"Then...what should we do now?" Sun Xue looked helpless.

"The incident has been reported, so you should rectify it immediately! As for how the regulatory authorities will handle it? I don't know."

The bearded man spoke lightly, but Sun Xue's heart was in her throat.

The matter had just been suppressed, but now it was suddenly on the news. She knew the power of the media...

The bearded man was not unaware of this, he was just trying to fool Sun Xue.

His colleague was pushed to the ground, and he couldn't swallow this humiliation. How could he let it go easily?

Sun Xue realized the seriousness of the problem, and she immediately called Niu Youcai.

"Manager Niu, come to my office!"

A few minutes later, Niu Youcai arrived in a hurry.

"Chairman, what do you want from me?"

Sun Xue angrily threw the newspaper into Niu Youcai's arms, "Look at the trouble you have caused!"

After reading the report, Niu Youcai cursed with a dark face, "These bastards, when did I beat up their people?"

"Look at you, don't you know you can't mess with reporters? Now you're in big trouble!"

"Chairman, can you blame me for this? Don't you know how arrogant they were at that time?

Besides, isn't this for the company? Why are you blaming me?" Niu Youcai retorted confidently.

"Can't you just hold back? Do you have to go against them? If you had spoken in a nicer manner, would things have developed to this point?"

"It's impossible for me to endure it!" Niu Youcai raised the corner of his mouth with disdain on his face.

Sun Xue was so angry at Niu Youcai's words that she was speechless.

After a few minutes of silence, she asked:

"What should we do now? Once this matter is reported, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau and other units will definitely investigate the matter under pressure..."

Niu Youcai frowned and said nothing.

After a long while, he finally squeezed out a few words, "I'll think of a way!"

After saying that, he stood up and left the office.

The reason why Niu Youcai was so concerned about this matter was that he knew he was in trouble and began to feel a little scared.

What if the regulatory authorities really want to investigate? What he did will soon be exposed...

Even after Niu Youcai left, Sun Xue did not dare to sit idle.

She couldn't rely on Niu Youcai for this matter, she had to find a way to solve it as soon as possible.

She began to call her friends one by one for help, first to Zhang Zhen, then to Tong Wei and Hao Dongmei...

She had only one goal, which was to let them use their own resources to see if they could think of a way to get the regulatory authorities to show leniency.

Sun Xue even shamelessly called Niu Youcai's father-in-law, hoping that he could help her, even if it cost money...

After listening to Sun Xue's statement, the old man comforted her, "Xiao Sun, don't worry too much. I will help you find out the situation."

Sun Xue felt very relieved to hear Laozi's words. Although she and the old man had only met once, she was deeply moved by his words.

Soon, the old man brought her good news:

"Xiao Sun, Niu Youcai also told me about this. I have informed the relevant leaders of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau. You will definitely not escape punishment. Don't worry too much. Just cooperate with them..."

"Thank you uncle."

After listening to the old man's words, Sun Xue was not as nervous as before.

As long as the old man gives a heads up, things won't be too bad, at least there's still a chance to save them.

Sure enough, the inspection station and housing authority staff came to the company again and began a comprehensive inspection.

One of the leaders at the checkpoint quietly told Sun Xue, "What did you do? How did you offend the reporters? How did it get reported in the newspapers? The nature of this matter has changed. It's difficult to handle..."

We gave you the chance before, but if you don’t take advantage of it, there’s nothing we can do. Once this gets on the news, the impact will be huge!”

The leader shook his head helplessly.

"Is there still a chance of saving it?" Sun Xue asked.

"Things like the paint peeling off the exterior wall are not considered major quality accidents. All you need to do is make corrections and accept a fine. However, this is a new building. If the buyers start to make trouble, it will be troublesome..."

After hearing this and seeing the tone of her leader's voice, Sun Xue realized that the problem was more troublesome than she had imagined.

What the leader said came true. What Sun Xue was most worried about finally happened.

In the afternoon, Xiao Zhang knocked on Sun Xue's office with a panicked look on his face.

"Chairman, something terrible has happened. There are a lot of people gathered in the company lobby. They are all homebuyers and are very excited... Go and have a look!"

Sun Xue followed Xiao Zhang and jogged all the way to the company lobby. From a distance, they saw a large group of people gathered in the lobby. The scene was very chaotic.

Sun Xue immediately called Liu Bin, "Quick, come to the company lobby, something happened!"

After hanging up the phone, Sun Xue walked into the crowd.

Soon someone in the crowd recognized her and shouted, "The head of the company is here."

Sun Xue walked in front of everyone with a smile on her face, raised her voice and said to the noisy crowd:

"Hello everyone, I am the chairman of the company. Please be quiet and talk politely if you have anything to say."

"Glad you're here. We're all here today to ask for a refund!"

"Yes! Refund! You are just cheating me. The quality of the new house is so poor. How can I live there with confidence in the future?"

"Yes! Return the money quickly. A house like this might collapse any day!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get your money back!"

Everyone was very angry and surrounded Sun Xue, directing their anger at her.
