Chapter 1608: Chapter 1608: Something Happened… (4)

After Assistant Luo left, Ye Qilan called Fu Yan, asking him to help contact a reliable partner, preferably from abroad. This way, Beichuan would find no point to interfere…

Northern Group, Chairman’s office.

After finishing the call, Beichuan looked at Xiao Ji, a sinister smile curling on his lips: “I told you this method works. Ye Si has already fallen for it. At the very least, we can delay him for ten days to half a month. By the time he realizes something’s wrong, when he seeks the next partner, he’ll find time has run out.”

“If we can sabotage Ye Qilan’s current project, Jufeng Group will suffer huge losses, and its reputation will be damaged. Then we’ll press on with our victory, find the financial loophole in Jufeng Group, and Ye Qilan will be severely hit.” Just imagining such a scene makes Xiao Ji’s blood boil.

“I can’t wait to see Ye Si’s pathetic struggles.” Beichuan secretly wished that Ye Qilan would come to beg him, then all his efforts would be worth it.

His greatest wish in life is to defeat Ye Qilan and witness Ye Qilan’s downfall.

Four days passed peacefully.

Beichuan knew Ye Qilan was still in contact with scheduled clients, and he felt relieved. This proved Ye Qilan hadn’t seen through his plan.

He had just finished a call with Xiao Ji when a vice president knocked and entered: “Something’s wrong, Beichuan!”

“What is it?” Beichuan noticed the vice president’s uneasy expression, and his heart sank.

“There’s been an accident with the garden project we undertook…” The vice president explained the reason for the situation. To summarize, the project failed at three indicators, and just now, there had been a collapse accident with several workers injured, though fortunately, no deaths.

Even so, someone filmed a video of it and uploaded it online.

Now the whole world knows that Northern Group’s garden project is a jerry-built project, and netizens are discussing this incident.

Beichuan went online to verify the news, finding the situation was even worse than the vice president described, with various government departments already involved in the investigation.

He quickly gathered all senior executives for an emergency meeting, only to find the project’s main person responsible was missing. And all the construction materials were handled by that person; not being able to find him equates to confirming their company’s reckless disregard for human life for profit, doesn’t it?

Seeing everyone silent, Beichuan coldly questioned: “Aren’t you all known for being articulate? Now speak up, besides the runaway, who else was involved in the procurement? Now that an accident occurred, who among you can solve this?”

Everyone exchanged looks, and one couldn’t help but say: “Beichuan, I once suggested to you that concentrating power in one person is unwise, and at that time, you directly kicked me out…”

Back then, wasn’t Beichuan flirting with the secretary and blaming him for ruining the moment?

Beichuan’s expression turned ashen: “Are you implying it’s my fault the project failed?!”

“Isn’t it?!” Just then, someone pushed the door open; wasn’t it Beichuan’s mother arriving upon hearing the news?

Upon seeing his mother, Beichuan’s expression variably shifted: “We’re in a meeting, Mom, please step out first.”

His mother’s gaze burned as she looked at Beichuan: “Such a big project, you don’t bother with anything and spend all your time on women. I’ve warned you before that if you continue, Northern Group will fall under your leadership. Now with this big incident, rather than finding fault in others, do you have any other solutions?”
