Chapter 31 Taking the Opportunity to Cause Trouble

After that…

Zhou Wanqiu’s phone rang non-stop.

All of them were calls from the company’s subordinate companies.

She kept answering the calls, but her face was getting paler.

The loan extensions for various subsidiary companies and projects of Zhou Catering Group were rejected.

Some of the loans that were nearing maturity also received a debt collection notice.

It seemed that Bin Cheng Bank was going to break ties completely with Zhou Catering Group.

Zhou Wanqiu quickly ordered a meeting of the group’s higher-ups.

Zhou Pingjiang also ran out to make a phone call, looking for connections to help.

The two of them were very busy.

Su Chen saw Zhou Wanqiu’s anxious demeanor and sent a message to Qian Zongwang to ask how things were going.

Qian Zongwang replied quickly.

Su Chen looked down and said to Zhou Wanqiu, “CEO Zhou, you don’t have to worry. Things are really not as bad as you think!”

“You know nothing!” Zhou Wanqiu was furious. “You don’t understand how much the bank affects the development of the company! Don’t talk nonsense!”

“Hurry back to your office. Stop annoying me!”

Su Chen was speechless.

He was too lazy to argue with Zhou Wanqiu, so he walked out of the CEO’s office.

Su Chen realized that the atmosphere in the company had changed.

The staff members were all in a hurry. They looked anxious as they reported all kinds of things.

Many employees were also making phone calls. They looked like they were calling for help.

It felt like a storm was brewing.

However, when Su Chen walked into the secretaries’ office, everything felt familiar again.

Zhang You was still playing games with his feet on the desk.

Liu Pan was still holding his phone and flirting with a girl he met online.

Su Jiao, on the other hand, was holding a makeup mirror and applying products onto her face.

“This group is still not doing proper business. As usual!”

Su Chen smiled.

However, the honest secretaries were a little busy.

They were answering all kinds of calls and running around to deliver documents.

After Zhang You finished playing a game, he came over and said, “Su Chen, something doesn’t feel right today. Is something big going to happen to our company?”

“Why do you say that?” Su Chen was surprised.

Zhang You was normally completely focused on his game.

This time, he had noticed that something was wrong. Su Chen hadn’t expected that.

It seemed that Zhang You’s observation skills were quite good!

Zhang You smiled smugly. “Usually, as long as Gao Min, that she-devil, is around, she will definitely come to our office to act tough and mess with us!”

“But today, although she’s in the building, Gao Min ignored us. This means that there must be something big happening in the company that she’s more interested in!”

“Hehe! My analysis makes sense, right?”

After listening to Zhang You’s deductions, Su Chen silently retracted his evaluation of him.

What dogsh*t observation skills! This b*tch felt uncomfortable because he wasn’t taught a lesson today!

At this moment…

Click!

Gao Min was excited. She walked to the secretaries’ office in her high heels. “All of you, department managers and secretaries, go to the meeting room! There’s an emergency meeting!”

Gao Min pointed at Su Chen. “Su Chen, you’re CEO Zhou’s secretary. You can’t be absent! You must go!”

After saying that, Gao Min turned and left.

“Hahaha! Zhou Wanqiu, I’ll call all the department heads of the company to this emergency meeting. Let’s see how embarrassed you feel!” Gao Min was delighted.

In the conference room…

Su Chen sat down in a corner beside Zhou Wanqiu.

He looked around and found that the atmosphere was very ominous.

The news from the Bin Cheng Bank had already spread among the company’s senior management.

Everyone’s faces were pale. However, there were also some people who were extremely excited.

For example, Gao Min.

“CEO Zhou! The Hao Bin Food Street’s loan has been issued a debt collection notice again. The credit department of Bin Cheng Bank has given us an ultimatum!”

“CEO Zhou, the Zhou Restaurant suddenly received a notice from the credit department of Bin Cheng Bank. They said that our loan repayment cannot be postponed! Moreover, they even asked us to repay the loan in advance.”

“CEO Zhou, there are also more than 20 chain restaurants in our fast-food chain. We have also received a notice from the loan department of Bin Cheng Bank. We cannot only pay the interest; we have to pay off all the loans!”

“And Ruyi Restaurant…”

All kinds of news were reported. All the cooperation between the company and the loan department of Bin Cheng Bank was overturned.

If it was due, it had to be repaid!

If it was not due yet, they had to repay the loan in advance!

Requests for extensions were rejected! Zhou Wanqiu felt like her head was about to explode.

She did not expect things to get so severe. Now, almost all the projects under the company had to withdraw a large amount of funds to repay the loans.

However, if that happened, the expansion and development of Zhou Catering Group would immediately fall into a quagmire.

In fact, the capital chain might even break!

Everyone was clamoring.

At this moment, Gao Min started to make things difficult.

“CEO Zhou, we all know that you met with Supervisor Cao from the credit department of Bin Cheng Bank today. How did the negotiation go?”

“Could it be that the debt collection notices we received in the afternoon were because of you?”

“What happened between you and Supervisor Cao Renda? Please shed some light on this!”

Gao Min sneered and stared at Zhou Wanqiu. Zhou Wanqiu’s expression was sour, but she found it hard to speak.

“CEO Zhou! Don’t you need to give us an explanation for causing such serious consequences? Aren’t you going overboard?” Gao Min shouted angrily.

“Alright, I’ll tell you!” Zhou Wanqiu gritted her teeth and stared at Gao Min. “Cao Renda was targeting me! He tried to harass me. Su… My bodyguard stopped him and taught him a lesson.”

In the end, Zhou Wanqiu didn’t mention Su Chen. She said her bodyguard had stepped in. Moreover, she did not mention what kind of “lesson” Su Chen had left him with. But even so, the meeting room exploded!

Noisy discussions erupted all around! “Haha!”

Gao Min sneered. “CEO Zhou, is this how a big CEO like you handles things?”

“Is this how you solve a public relations problem?”

“Do you know how much damage your solution has caused our company?”

Zhou Wanqiu was speechless.

At this moment…

Su Chen said calmly, “Secretary Gao, I’d like to know something. If you were in CEO Zhou’s shoes, what would you do? Do you have any brilliant solutions to offer?”

“Would you choose to sleep with Cao Renda? If he takes a video of the two of you, would you let him post it online for everyone to enjoy?”

Everyone looked at Gao Min. “I-I…”

Gao Min was stunned, and her face turned red.

“Either way, I won’t do something that would harm the interests of our company!”

Zhou Wanqiu looked at Su Chen in surprise.

“Everyone!”Gao Min shouted loudly, getting everyone’s attention.

“Zhou Wanqiu’s actions have seriously damaged the interests of the company. I don’t think she’s fit to be CEO!”

“I propose that the board of directors hold a meeting and dismiss her from her position as CEO!” Everyone was stunned. They all exchanged glances and didn’t dare to speak. However, they seemed a little convinced.

Zhou Wanqiu’s heart sank. Gao Min had finally found a good opportunity to bring it up. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to escape this disaster.

At this moment… There was a commotion outside. An employee barged into the meeting room and shouted, “Not good! Someone from Bin Cheng Bank is here!”

“Supervisor Cao Renda is here! President Qian is here too!”

There was another uproar in the meeting room.
