Before the company building had finished its busy day, a police car with flashing lights came downstairs.

Even during off-duty hours, there were still many people coming in and out, working overtime and staying without overtime. Many eyes saw this sudden accident.

The person who was taken away was Yang Qiumin, the manager of the finance department. Everyone usually calls him Lao Yang kindly, because not only is he senior, but he is also carefree and enthusiastic.

Lao Yang is also one of the participants selected for this cooperation project between Gu Cheng and Cheng Yuan.

In front of the company's employees present, Yang Qiumin was sandwiched between two policemen on the left and one on the right, shouting grievances, saying that he worked hard every day, either at home or in the company, how could he do something illegal .

But the police pay attention to evidence when arresting people, and they will not arrest people without evidence. Yang Qiumin was eventually taken away for investigation.

There are a lot of people in the company, and there are countless large groups and small groups. In the Internet age, it spreads from ten to hundreds, and it only takes a moment to make everyone in the company panic. Rumors spread in all kinds of ways. On the murder case.

After Song Xianfei answered the phone, he knew that Cheng Yi couldn't hide the matter, so he simply told him directly.

Cheng Yi was stunned for a while after listening, but just nodded lightly, saying that he would go back and have a look first.

He couldn't hide anything in his eyes, and everything in his heart came out of his eyes. Song Xianfei was really worried, so he put on his coat with him, and went back to the company with Cheng Yi to check the situation first.

On the way, Lao Cheng and Liang Xuewei didn't get through on the phone. Cheng Yi frowned all the way and remained silent for a long time. Song Xianfei wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say. Now comfort can only be empty comfort.

When they rushed to Chengyuan with him, Pan Yao and the remaining employees of the company were still there, and they hadn't left yet.

"Old Yang from the finance department was taken away by the police half an hour ago." Pan Yao didn't show much surprise when he saw the two get out of the car together.

Cheng Yi asked anxiously, "Do you know why?"

Pan Yao looked at him and shook his head, saying that Dong Cheng and his second uncle came to the company 10 minutes ago, and they should be in the upstairs office now.

Standing outside the crowd, Cheng Yi was stunned. Since he came back from studying abroad, he has been almost indifferent to the company's affairs, let alone being able to take charge of his own affairs and help Lao Cheng and the others carry something, so he felt a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart. feel.

"Cheng Yi, I'll be fine." Song Xianfei saw the hesitation in his eyes, walked up suddenly, raised his hand to touch his shoulder, "Go, there must be something you can help."

Cheng Yi glanced at Song Xianfei in astonishment, and put away the doubt in his heart almost at the same time. It was the first time that someone said such words of approval to him.

He squeezed Song Xianfei's hand, looked at the man in front of him, speechless, and finally said to wait for my news, then turned and walked into the company.

"Both of you, have you turned your horoscope? The eye contact made my teeth sore." Not long after Cheng Yi left, Pan Yao approached with half a cigarette in his mouth, his voice slightly hoarse.

Song Xianfei rolled his eyes at him, "Then please close your eyes in the future, toothache is a disease that cannot be cured."

Pan Yao smiled cheerfully, biting his cigarette holder and leaning against the car door behind him, and turned his gaze to the crowd of onlookers, "To be honest, I don't think Lao Yang is the one who did anything wrong."

"Why?" Song Xianfei subconsciously asked, "You know him very well?"

Pan Yao shook his head, and slowly exhaled smoke from his mouth, "No, he said it himself. He has a daughter studying abroad, and his lover also went to accompany her as a student. In fact, think about it, when they come back, they will be reunited and enjoy themselves. At that time, when his daughter finds a good job to marry and have children, what a good thing to do, is it worth doing something for it?"

Song Xianfei shook his head lightly, and said, "I don't know, people's hearts are in the belly, isn't it you who said this?"

Pan Yao looked at him and was taken aback for a moment. He didn't even realize that the cigarette was almost burning to the cigarette holder. After a while, he spit it out on the ground and crushed it with the tip of his shoe, wrapped it in a paper towel and threw it into the trash can without any mistakes.

"Old Song."

"Huh?" Song Xianfei heard the sound and looked at him, always feeling that Pan Yao seemed a little different from usual today, but he couldn't tell, "What's wrong?"

With a smile on his face, Pan Yao couldn't tell if he was serious or joking, and brought the topic back to Cheng Yi, "Do you think there will be results with Young Master Cheng?"

Song Xianfei was slightly taken aback, a little surprised why Pan Yao asked such a question suddenly.

He didn't say a word, he just cast his eyes on the building named Cheng Yuan in front of him, he didn't think about what would be the result, so he didn't answer, just thought that everything was going well.

Cheng Yi took the elevator directly to the floor where Lao Cheng's office was located. Fortunately, Secretary Ma happened to be standing outside the meeting room door, so Cheng Yi was not blocked by anyone, and stepped into the office door smoothly.

When he entered, he saw Lao Cheng, Liang Xuewei, Pan Yuanshan and several high-level leaders. After a while, two strange faces walked in. They were people he had never seen before, and they looked like people dressed in public security organs.

The atmosphere in the office was really depressing, and Cheng Yi became even more restless. After Secretary Ma brought him in, he closed the office door and stood behind Cheng Guoqiang.

Liang Xuewei was slightly taken aback when she saw Cheng Yi, and then she noticed that there were seven or eight missed calls from him on the silent phone.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Cheng Yi was about to ask why, when Liang Xuewei waved at him, motioning him to sit down and listen to Lao Cheng and the others.

Liang Xuewei's brows were full of worry, Cheng Yi rarely saw her like this, the last time she still remembers vividly was the time many years ago when Cheng Yuan couldn't make money, when he was still young and couldn't share any company affairs, I can watch Lao Cheng and her shoulder the invisible pressure, and accompany Cheng Yuan through that crisis step by step.

After so many years, Cheng Yuan came to the present step by step. Cheng Yi felt that he should do something. He suddenly wanted to prove, to prove to Lao Cheng and others that he was also one of the pillars of the family, and to prove to Song Xianfei that he Can get things done as he says.

He was worried and restless, but there was a cluster of hot fire pushing the blood along the blood vessels and burning, leading directly to the heart.

One of the police officers was polite, as if he was an old acquaintance with Cheng Guoqiang, before he sat down, he said politely, "Dong Cheng, I haven't seen you for a while."

"Yes." Cheng Guoqiang nodded slightly at the man, and smiled politely, "Brother Wenchang, you are welcome, the matter will be resolved in another day, how about we go fishing at the seaside?"

Feng Wenchang readily agreed, and after a few pleasantries, a group of people quickly got to the point.

"Someone reported anonymously that Yang Qiumin from the finance department of your company disclosed the technology and product management information of the project to competing companies in the same industry during his tenure, and used them to gain benefits in private." The investigators around Feng Wenchang passed the information to Cheng Guoqiang, He continued: "The whistleblower did not disclose his identity, but the evidence materials submitted are very credible, and our colleagues are still in the process of further verification and investigation."

Pan Yuanshan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, with a stern expression, "If the information of the project is really leaked, the losses to the two companies will be unpredictable, and Yang Qiumin will also go to jail and sue for it. The impact is not small."

Cheng Guoqiang nodded slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Everyone here is not an outsider. I, Cheng Guoqiang, just say what I have to say. All the people involved in this project were selected by Yuan Shan and me. It is said that we know the basics, but we definitely have the highest degree of trust. This project of Jucheng is related to the development of Liwan City and the future of Chengyuan. It was a surprise when it happened, it was a bit of a coincidence that this kind of leak occurred at the stall before the final agreement was reached with Gu Cheng."

Feng Wenchang spoke bluntly, and directly pointed out, "Cheng Dong means that this incident is not only caused by Cheng Yuan's internal employees, right?"

"Captain Feng, what you mean is just a general guess. As for Yang Qiumin, how should you investigate?" Cheng Guoqiang sighed, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, "If he is innocent, then follow the procedure to release him. , if Yang Qiumin really did something illegal, he will be dealt with according to the law."

Feng Wenchang was silent for a while, then nodded, "I just happened to take over this case, and I will do my best to help my brother, but to be honest, the evidence that the police have now may not be conducive to this project, nor is it conducive to being investigated now Before that, everything will be kept secret."

Cheng Guoqiang thanked him for his reminder, and told Feng Wenchang to handle the case according to their prescribed procedures.

After Feng Wenchang left, only Pan Yuanshan, Secretary Ma and others were left in the office.

Cheng Yi couldn't bear his temper, and ran to Cheng Guoqiang as soon as he left, and asked, "Grandpa, is there anything wrong with the company?"

Cheng Guoqiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked Cheng Yi up and down, "Grandpa doesn't know if there's anything wrong, but why are you here?"

"I..." Cheng Yi faltered, and swallowed the words 'I want to help' to his lips. Anyone present is much more capable than himself, and if he says to help now, it will only make this group My lord heard a joke, and changed his words, "I want Uncle Pan to teach me to get in touch with the company's affairs as soon as possible. Grandpa, what you said before is right. If a son doesn't inherit his father's business, who else can do it?"

Cheng Guoqiang was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Yo, this is a sudden enlightenment? I remember you refused in every possible way before. Letting you join the company is like sending you to jail."

Cheng Yi's face was slightly hot, and he said that he had grown up and watched them work hard, and that Song Xianfei also had a certain amount of credit. Fortunately, he didn't join other people's department back then, and he didn't get used to it.

Cheng Guoqiang nodded knowingly, as a consent.

As soon as Pan Yuanshan and the other two finished speaking, they asked: "Cheng Dong, I will find someone to take Lao Yang's place first. What do you think about this project? Do you want to notify Gu Cheng in advance?"

"Don't say anything about the project, and you can't mess up now." Cheng Guoqiang waved his hand, "Feng Wenchang revealed that the person reported anonymously. As for whether the incident is true and whether someone was playing a prank, it remains to be verified. , At this juncture, let’s not get sidetracked, what about the employees present today?”

Secretary Ma approached with his mobile phone, adjusted his glasses and said, "I have asked the administrators of each group to issue a notice that if those who spread rumors cause damage to the company's image, they will be held accountable."

Cheng Guoqiang closed his eyes and nodded, his brows were furrowed tightly, showing no sign of relaxation.

To run a business is to walk on eggshells all the time. I don't know when and for what reason sudden accidents, big or small, are unavoidable thorns in the way.

When he left the company, it was already dark, and all the employees outside the company had already left. Only then did Cheng Yi notice an unread message from Song Xianfei on his phone, saying that Pan Yao would send him back first, hoping that things would be resolved. Satisfactory resolution, everything will be smooth.

Everything was going to go well, and everything didn't go so well.

I originally thought that the matter would come to an end, but I didn’t expect that the news that Cheng Yuan’s management staff was suspected of committing a crime spread like wildfire before dawn. The pictures and texts, together with the video of Yang Qiumin being taken away by the police at the company’s gate, It quickly spread on the Internet, most of which are self-media network operation platforms.

Although the credibility is not high, the people who are most likely to be deceived are undoubtedly the masses.

In order to attract people's attention, these private and independent communicators made outrageous headlines one by one. In fact, the content is roughly the same, but it has promoted the fermentation process of this matter to a certain extent.

The public tongue is even more like a prairie fire.

Old Cheng was sitting on the sofa with a sullen face, and the phone calls kept coming one after another. Cheng Yi didn't dare to disturb her, so he had to sneak to the kitchen to help Liang Xuewei a little.

Pan Yuanshan drove straight to Cheng's house, he was so anxious that he didn't even have time to tie his tie. After a while, Secretary Ma also arrived.

"Cheng Dong, I have arranged for the PR manager to contact those media as soon as possible." Secretary Ma said while handing Cheng Guoqiang the relevant self-media materials in his hand.

Cheng Guoqiang took it and only glanced at it, then put it on the table, then got up and put his hands behind his back, "Even if the processing is done quickly, what should happen will still happen, what's going on with Gu Cheng?"

Secretary Ma replied: "Gu Cheng will send someone over to find out the situation first. After all, Manager Yang is a participant in this project, but so far Gu Cheng has not made any other requests."

The worst plan is not that Cheng Guoqiang has never thought about it. The results of the investigation have not yet been given. A better idea is to stop the project and continue to start it after the incident is over. If the situation develops badly, they can only be passive. Facing the situation where the cooperation of the project is terminated, after all, businessmen value profits, and no one will do a loss-making business.

"Lao Yang was taken away by the company openly. The police never paid attention to low-key and face-saving arrests. If it was because of the crowd watching the excitement, this kind of thing would be inevitable." Pan Yuanshan was speechless, "But these How did the self-media know about it? The key content of some reports is almost the same as the results of the police investigation.”

This happened too strangely, including the materials of the anonymous report and the person whose identity information was not disclosed, the coincidental time, the coincidental event, there are no coincidences in the world, only the person who caused all these illusions.

"Could this be a trick used by other competing companies?" Seeing that Cheng Guoqiang was thinking, Secretary Ma asked tentatively, "Mr. Cheng, maybe you know who it is?"

"Hmm." Cheng Guoqiang took off his reading glasses, sat down slowly with his hands on his chest, closed his eyes and sighed, "Even if he knows, he can't do anything. The enemy is dark and we are clear, and there is no direct evidence to prove it."

Cheng Guoqiang had undergone heart bypass surgery half a year ago. Few people in the company knew about it. Seeing that he was feeling uncomfortable, Pan Yuanshan quickly helped him sit down and called Liang Xuewei to get the medicine.

Cheng Guoqiang waved his hand and calmed down for a while before saying: "Whether this matter is true or not, it will affect the whole body. No matter who is in the company, as long as they commit crimes and violate public order and good customs, they will cause disproportionate harm to the company." one's influence."

This is true. Liwan City has learned from the past. After Jiang Cheng’s chairman was exposed as suspected of being a minor, it was found to be true after investigation. All the holding platforms under his name plummeted, and the total market value shrank significantly.

Although the current situation with Cheng Yuan is far from that serious, one has to be wary of what kind of flames the person behind this will stir up.

Cheng Guoqiang just took a breath after sitting down, and saw Ma Mi standing there in a daze with his mobile phone in his hand.

"Little horse, what else is there?"

Secretary Ma showed a look of embarrassment, and handed the phone to Cheng Guoqiang with a little hesitation, "Boss...you can read this report."

Cheng Yi couldn't help being curious, and ran from afar to put his head closer, squinting his eyes and read the title of the article report word by word: "The eldest son of the program group made a shocking scandal, suspected that he tried to take the drunk woman away and clashed with others, causing People are disabled and hospitalized??"
