CHAPTER 1609: CHAPTER 1609: GETTING SERIOUS! (1)

Beichuan’s face was ashen, blaming his mother for not giving him face: "This is a family matter of the Northern Group, Mom, you’re overstepping!"

His mother didn’t expect that after something happened, Beichuan would still care only about his own face. She looked at him in disbelief: "Son, you are really disappointing me! I hoped you had the ability to turn the tide and make me see you in a new light. I’m putting it here today, from now on, anything related to the Northern Group has nothing to do with me. Even if you come begging me in the future, I won’t meddle in Northern Group’s matters anymore."

She came here intending to strategize with Beichuan to get through this difficult period. Unfortunately, Beichuan was headstrong and went too far, even seeing his own mother as an enemy.

If the Northern Group collapses and the Bei Family goes bankrupt, and it can cure Beichuan’s arrogance, then it might not be such a bad thing.

After his mother left, the conference room was dead silent. No one spoke; everyone was silent.

Beichuan coldly glanced at everyone: "You all get high salaries at the company, so why isn’t anyone speaking at this critical moment?"

"We still don’t know if the person in charge has embezzled funds. If indeed the person in charge replaced the materials with inferior ones, the responsibility is ours, and our company’s public image will suffer then. The priority is to calm the families of the injured personnel and not let them escalate the situation," the deputy finally spoke up.

The current situation is that they don’t know who the real culprit is, but the accusation of being an inferior workmanship has already been placed on the Northern Group.

"First, find the families of the injured workers and calm their emotions..." Beichuan was interrupted as someone burst in; it was his beautiful secretary.

The secretary hurried to Beichuan’s side and whispered: "The families have already made a scene, they’re currently downstairs, and many media have caught wind and rushed over. The families want an explanation from the company."

Beichuan cursed under his breath, afraid of exactly what had come to pass.

He instructed the deputy to take a few other executives to go downstairs and calm the families. He returned to his office, loosened his tie, and closed his eyes to feign rest.

Lately, he’s been busy scheming against Ye Qilan, yet he didn’t expect his own back garden to catch fire. With this happening, how can he have the extra energy to deal with Ye Qilan?

In the midst of his chaotic thoughts, Xiao Ji called: "I heard about your company’s situation. The incident with the families making a scene at your company has already spread widely. Everything happened too quickly and at such an opportune time; I feel something’s off."

"You suspect Ye Qilan orchestrated this from behind?" Beichuan was incredulous.

After the incident occurred, he was busy handling the aftermath and hadn’t connected it to Ye Qilan at all. How could Xiao Ji be so sure it was Ye Qilan’s doing?

"We can scheme against him; don’t you think with his cunning, he wouldn’t turn around and scheme against you?" Xiao Ji retorted.

The worst part is, everything hit simultaneously, even the person in charge’s escape happened so quickly, leaving Beichuan caught off guard.

Beichuan said nothing. He knew Xiao Ji’s reasoning was plausible, but ultimately, he still didn’t want to believe this had anything to do with Ye Qilan. If Xiao Ji’s guess was correct, it would mean Ye Qilan had beaten him to the punch yet again.

"Speculating now won’t help us; you could call him and test his tone. Beichuan, I’ve warned you before, Ye Qilan is very cunning; never underestimate him."
