Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 498: Inside Story Surfaces (9)

The words sounded as if everything had been paved for Chen Jiaming in advance.

At this moment, Chen Jiaming finally realized something, that he had always been a pawn for these people from the very beginning.

The company’s stock plummeting undoubtedly affected the emotions of the grassroots employees in the company.

Having weathered many storms, the veteran employee Sister Yao couldn’t help feeling tense and anxious now. One only had to look at the various reactions within the company.

Some were panic-stricken, busily planning their next moves. Others were at a loss, like headless flies, no longer focused on their work. Many more were trying to curry favor with any reliable backers in the company, given that such a large company, especially one in industry, couldn’t possibly just fail overnight. It was more likely just a change of ownership.

Sister Yao knew that the Business Development Department seemed more composed when facing this crisis.

Unfortunately, Fang Yongxing and his team were not in the Business Development Department any longer.

Therefore, this was Sister Yao’s third attempt to find Zhong Qiaohui.

Within three days, she spared no effort trying to track down Gu Nuan’s whereabouts, thinking of what Fang Yongxing passed to Gu Nuan, and whether Gu Nuan had figured anything out. If not, Gu Nuan should have gone back to Fang Yongxing to inquire. But Gu Nuan hadn’t done so, which could only prove that perhaps Gu Nuan really had discovered something.

Unconsciously, Sister Yao realized she had started to pin her hopes on Gu Nuan, the newcomer, as her savior.

Zhong Qiaohui could understand her feelings just as well.

However, Zhong Qiaohui thought differently from Sister Yao, more practically; with Gu Nuan’s capabilities, trying to face a giant like Changda right now probably wouldn’t be feasible.

Not to mention Gu Nuan, even their Zhong Family would find it impossible to devour such a giant.

The only ones bold enough to take action against the Xiao Family behemoth would be foreign capital; it must be the result of overseas investment interference.

When it came to the global financial titans, Zhong Qiaohui only remembered a saying from her grandfather, "When it comes to the rules of finance, they’re mostly set by foreigners, not us."

One could say that simply based on the foundation of playing the game, the Chinese started at a significant disadvantage compared to foreigners.

With the rules of the game dictated by others, for the Chinese to play without losing, the effort and hardship required can only be imagined. Yet, some collude with foreign capital in pursuit of their own maximum benefit.

Zhong Qiaohui didn’t know how to comfort Sister Yao, who kept coming to inquire. To be honest, she could only advise Sister Yao to think carefully about her own way out.

When it comes to a life-or-death situation, what most people can do is simply to think about how to protect themselves.

Sister Yao sighed, about to turn back, when suddenly she thought of something, glanced into their office, and asked, "Is that the injured Manager Fu?"

Fu Yubo buried himself in his work, as if deaf to the world outside.

Zhong Qiaohui raised an eyebrow, "Yes."

Sister Yao felt that Fu Yubo seemed like someone she had heard described as a quiet and slightly odd person. Now, watching him, he seemed even stranger. Had his injury caused a significant psychological shock?

With her arms crossed in front of her chest, Zhong Qiaohui’s gaze fell upon Fu Yubo and she wondered: With so many elites in the finance section, why only send Fu Yubo to the newly established Financial Department?

Was it because they were reluctant to let go of the talent in their own department? Fu Yubo seemed to have always had a fairly good performance and was well-regarded for his work ethic.

She felt there was something fishy about this. Especially now that the company really did have a problem. When it comes to company troubles, the finance department is often the first to be implicated.
