Ch 6 Former Boss

Chen Sehun, the son of the SMQ Chairman and the General Manager of SMQ, had unexplainable anxiety these days.

At that moment, his right eyelid was twitching for no reason.

He didn’t believe in any Feng Shui omens, but he trusted his instincts. It was around twilight and the light from the streetlamps shined through the window. Everything felt calm and warm, giving the illusion of peace and prosperity. He leaned back in his executive chair, closed his eyes, and began reviewing in his mind the big events that had taken place these past few days.

The Carcinogen Scandal was, of course, the most critical one, but it wouldn’t be so bad. Nobody was a fool in this industry. It was obvious that first, the law usually couldn’t be enforced when were too many offenders, and second, consumers would easily forget things. As long as they kept calm and waited until the storm passed over, consumers would come back to buy what they wanted and their sales would return to normal.

The procurement project with the domestically-renowned Ming Sheng Group was going well. Despite the presence of their strong competitor, New Bori, he was determined to get the bigger order. As for Phoenix? Chen Sehun would have treated them as the biggest competitor in the past, but now… he chuckled mischievously to himself.

What have I missed?

Thinking for a while, he called his assistant in.

“Go ahead and call them, ask them how the two companies are doing,” he said thoughtfully.

The assistant understood. “They” referred to the spies they had planted in New Bori and Phoenix.

He called the spy in New Bori. The call was quickly answered and the spy said everything was normal there. Their production and marketing were both in order. They had just postponed the introduction of their new products into the market in order to stay away from the brunt of the Carcinogen Scandal.

Chen Sehun was satisfied. As the top company in the industry, New Bori had reacted well this time.

The assistant then made a call to the spy in Phoenix. The number was powered off. Chen Sehun looked serious and sat up straight.

After a while, the assistant made the call again only to get the same result.

The assistant hesitated. “Is it out of battery? I’ll have someone check.”

A sullen look on his face, Chen Sehun waved to let him out.

Leaning back in his executive chair for awhile, he took out his cell phone and searched out a number from his contact list.

Lisa

In all 28 years of his life, Lisa was the first woman who had smashed flowers from him right in front of his face.

He had heard that she had transferred over to Phoenix and was promoted to the position of CEO assistant. If this were true, this woman genuinely didn’t care about him, her former boss.

A grim smile on his face, Chen Sehun pressed the call button and held the cell phone to his ear.

Sorry, the number you are calling is currently not available.

Throwing the cell phone onto his desk, Chen Sehun called in the assistant again and ordered, “It doesn’t look right at Phoenix. They might have made some big moves these past few days. Who knows what this guy Gu Mingyu is going to do while he’s in power? You go and check it out at once.”

…

The night was dark and still. There were barely any stars in the sky, except a few scattered lights sparkling above the industrial park.
