Chapter 7466
Another Storm Begins
But then, upon further reflection, the woman immediately shook her head, denying it with unwavering certainty:
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! With his poor and pathetic appearance, dressed worse than an ordinary person, and riding a shared bicycle, how could he possibly be related to the Dansheng Group?"
"They're not even fit to carry shoes for the security guards at Dansheng Group! It must be a coincidence. Maybe we accidentally offended President Shen somewhere else?"
"A coincidence...?" Qin Mu muttered to himself, his mind in turmoil, his face drained of color, leaving only a deep-seated despair.
His father's fury, the crisis of the New Martial Arts Association, and the pain on his face intertwined, almost causing him to collapse.
"It's over...it's all over...the New Martial Arts Tournament is over, and so am I..." He collapsed to the ground, muttering repeatedly, his eyes vacant, his face ashen, showing no trace of his previous arrogance and haughtiness.
The news that Dansheng Group had completely abandoned Xinwu Association spread like wildfire, reaching the entire business and cultivation circles of the provincial capital in just one afternoon.
Everyone was talking about it. Although they didn't know the specific reasons, no one dared to question the decision of the Dansheng Group. For the Dansheng Group to be so resolute, the New Martial Arts Association must have angered the real core figure behind it.
The New Martial Arts Association, which was once firmly among the top-tier forces, was gaining momentum, and was poised to challenge the top level, suddenly lost its greatest support overnight. Its strength plummeted, its people were filled with panic, and it was plunged into turmoil in an instant.
Destruction seems to be only a matter of time.
The mastermind behind all of this, Xiao Chen, was sitting calmly in his top-floor office at Dansheng Group, listening to Shen Yingying report on the progress of the termination of the cooperation.
It was as if he had only done a trivial thing, dealing with a clown who didn't know his place, which didn't require much effort.
……
At this moment, the atmosphere in Shen Yingying's office had calmed down.
After listening to his secretary's report, Xiao Chen lightly tapped his fingertips on the table, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. He was quite satisfied with Shen Yingying's handling of the situation.
He nodded slightly, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable decisiveness: "President Shen, this matter was handled cleanly and efficiently, leaving no hidden dangers. Starting this month, your annual salary will be doubled, and if your performance continues to be outstanding, there will be an even greater reward."
Shen Yingying was both surprised and delighted. She quickly stood up, bowed, and thanked him respectfully and earnestly: "Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Xiao! I will do my best to live up to your trust and expectations, and I will never make any mistakes."
Xiao Chen gestured for her to sit down, his expression returning to calm as he slowly added, "In addition, I need you to release two messages simultaneously to the public. Be sure to handle them carefully."
"Please speak, Mr. Xiao. I will strictly follow your instructions." Shen Yingying immediately sat up straight, her expression serious, ready to take notes.
"First, we will officially announce to the public that Dansheng Group has been taken over by a new owner, and the new chairman will officially assume his duties from today."
"But remember, you only need to reveal that the chairman's surname is Xiao. His specific identity and background must be kept strictly confidential. Even if he is a core senior executive of the group, no unrelated personnel should know a word about him."
Xiao Chen spoke in a cool tone, emphasizing the importance of secrecy.
"Secondly, we will simultaneously announce that Dansheng Group will publicly recruit an exclusive partner in this city to be responsible for the production of various pills under the group." "This cooperation contract is worth more than 10 billion dragon coins. In addition, there is a long-term supply and sales cooperation involving millions of spirit stones, which is very tempting."
Xiao Chen had his own plans. Xunjiang Group was a company deeply rooted in the pharmaceutical field. He deliberately released this major cooperation to secretly help Xunjiang Group, so that his people could firmly grasp this benefit and gain more confidence.
……
After handling all matters related to Dansheng Group, Xiao Chen did not linger. He hailed a car and returned directly to his villa.
Pushing open the villa's door, he found the house eerily silent, a stark contrast to its usual warm and lively atmosphere. He had expected Yun Yuyan and Zhou Keying to be waiting for him at home, but instead, he found the living room completely empty, without a single person in sight.
The kitchen counter was a complete mess, with flour and icing sugar scattered all over the floor and kitchen utensils lying crookedly. Clearly, the two had originally planned to make desserts, but due to an unexpected situation, they left in a hurry without having time to clean up.
An overturned white porcelain bowl lay upside down on the floor, golden egg liquid slowly flowing down the cracks in the floor, a messy and glaring sight.
Xiao Chen's brows furrowed suddenly, a sense of unease flashing through his heart. Just as he was about to turn around and go upstairs to check, a hurried figure rushed in. It was Ji Yin, his expression panicked, his voice almost cracking with urgency:
"My lord, something terrible has happened! It's terribly bad!"
"What's the panic? Speak slowly, what's wrong?" Xiao Chen suppressed his unease, his tone still calm, but he couldn't hide a hint of tension.
Ji Yin took a breath, quickly handed over the phone, and said rapidly:
"My lord, someone is spreading malicious rumors that the new core drug launched by Xunjiang Group has killed people!"
"It's being widely reported online that relevant departments have launched an investigation, and all of Xunjiang Group's offline stores and production bases have been ordered to cease operations for verification!"
As he spoke, he opened a video on his phone and handed it to Xiao Chen.
The video shows a chaotic scene where hundreds of people claiming to be "victims' families" and rights defenders are blocking the gate of Xunjiang Group's provincial branch. They are emotional, shouting insults and holding up various accusatory signs.
The huge glass curtain wall of the group's first-floor showroom had been smashed to pieces, with fragments scattered all over the floor. The interior furnishings had been ransacked and were in complete disarray.
Even the main road outside the building was completely blocked by the protesters, making it impossible for vehicles to pass and for pedestrians to take detours.
Despite the presence of a significant number of police officers on the scene to maintain order and set up cordons, they were overwhelmed by the surging crowd, and the situation spiraled out of control, with the possibility of even more serious clashes at any moment.
Xiao Chen stared at his phone screen, the warmth in his eyes instantly vanishing, replaced by an icy chill that penetrated to his very bones, as if the air around him had frozen.
He knew better than anyone that the core formula of the medicine that Xunjiang Group was currently promoting was personally improved by him based on an ancient secret recipe.
Not only does it incorporate unique refining techniques from the cultivation world, but its safety and efficacy have also been repeatedly verified by him, making it absolutely impossible for anyone to die from consuming it!
Either the medicine was tampered with at some stage of production or transportation, with the formula deliberately altered or the medicine contaminated; or, this was a carefully planned conspiracy from beginning to end, targeting him and the Xunjiang Group!
"Extreme Yin, prepare the car. We're going to find the Jiang Group now." Xiao Chen's voice was low and hoarse, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a chilling, world-destroying force and an unquestionable command. (End of Chapter)
