"To outsiders, Kimei International Trading Company holds millions of dollars in orders, like a mountain of gold. But to me, those orders are just a tomb, waiting for me to lie down and bury me. Yes, Miss Gu, you're right, the situation couldn't be worse than it is now." Tang Boqi leaned his head back in his chair. "Thank you for your help. Please help me lay off those employees who need to be laid off. I'm really tired."
Gu Linshan gripped the steering wheel tightly, her face cold and aloof, her teeth clenched. Even a few strands of hair that were blown by the wind to her lips were bitten between her teeth.
Song Tianyao once said something that Gu Linshan would definitely agree with, "A woman who is deeply in love is terrifying."
Gu Linshan would do anything for the man beside her.
Chapter 294 The Female Tyrant Gu Linshan
On the way, she listened to Tang Boqi describe Song Tianyao's plans for the wig industry with half memories and half emotions. Gu Linshan always had a faint smile on her face, and she spoke softly and comforted her. However, she turned the steering wheel gently. She was supposed to go to the nearest Guanghua Hospital, but instead sent Tang Boqi to the Anglican Church St. Joseph's Hospital.
"Thank you, Miss Gu." As Gu Linshan helped him walk towards the hospital's emergency center, Tang Boqi said sincerely to Gu Linshan.
He didn't have many friends in Hong Kong, and the woman in front of him was practically the only friend, or rather, girlfriend, who could make him temporarily put aside his work and go out to play golf, watch movies, or relax.
Tang Boqi even felt that it wouldn't be bad for him to actually date this Miss Gu.
"Are your company's official seal and documents all still there?" Gu Linshan handed Tang Boqi over to the approaching nurse for support, and casually asked from the side.
Tang Boqi nodded, thinking that Gu Linshan might use the company seal to sign the dismissal documents, so he took out a key from his pocket. "It's in my office safe. Remember to pay those employees an extra month's salary while there's still money in the account, and apologize to them for me."
Gu Linshan took the safe key. "Okay, you get some rest. I'll come see you tonight."
She turned her back and walked lightly outside. Looking at Gu Linshan's indifferent expression, Tang Boqi smiled bitterly. This Miss Gu probably didn't know what his Kimei International Trading Company and ten factories had encountered.
What he couldn't see was that after Gu Linshan turned around, the ease on her face completely disappeared, and her forehead and temples were already slightly damp.
Without even leaving the hospital, Gu Linshan went to a nearby shop to borrow a phone and dialed a number. Trying to adjust her tone, she waited for a response and then said casually, "Brother, are you busy? Could you do me a small favor?"
"Aren't you busy dating that handsome United States guy lately? Do you need my help with something?" Gu Linjiang, the eldest son of the Gu family, replied with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, the handsome United States guy I chatted up is having a little trouble in Hong Kong. He's not familiar with Hong Kong, and he's had a headache these past few days, so I wanted to help him. Here's the thing: an India named Xia Harry was given a hard time today by Customs, the Medical and Health Department, and the police. He's still at the Marine Police station. Brother, you deal with these Britain Foreign Devil often, could you please put in a good word with all three parties? Within four hours, anyone trying to find out anything about the India should be told to claim they know nothing. Block all news about the India for four hours. Oh, and I also need your secretary to book two tickets to the United States as soon as possible," Gu Linshan said with a smile.
Gu Linjiang paused for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, then laughed, "Your handsome United States guy got into trouble doing business with the India, and you're planning to dump the burden on India in four hours? Making a few phone calls for you is a small matter, but you're not allowed to use the Gu family name to meddle in other businesses. Also, when you ask me for help, you can't even say a few nice things."
"Is it really just a matter of asking you to make a phone call? Aren't you going to help me? Fine, then I'll go ask my sister-in-law..." Gu Linshan lowered her voice, as if she were pleading with her brother.
Gu Linjiang said, "Alright, it's fine if I put in a good word for you, but it's also fine if I don't. You've been in United States for too long and don't know much about Hong Kong. Before the whole matter is investigated, those departments won't release any relevant information. I only chatted with you for a few minutes to hear you beg me, but you clearly aren't going to say anything flattering. I'm hanging up."
After hanging up, Gu Linshan immediately called Tang Boqi's Kimei International Trading Company. After several busy signals, she was finally connected by his secretary, A-Lian. Gu Linshan got straight to the point. "A-Lian, is the company getting a lot of calls lately?"
"Miss Gu? Mr. Tang asked me to call ten factories and tell them to suspend production and check the raw material issues. Those factories have all called to ask why. Even Chairman Tang and his son have called three or four times. Some of them are so angry that they even scolded me, their secretary, for not knowing anything. You should tell Mr. Tang to come back quickly." A-Lian's tone was somewhat urgent on the other end of the phone.
She was just a lowly secretary. With Tang Boqi away, all the factory owners pressed her for answers, and she was at a loss for words, leaving her in a very awkward situation.
"Billy is heading back immediately and is currently meeting with someone. First, call Tang Jingyuan and ask Tang Jingyuan to come to the company. Tell him that Billy has some issues regarding Jimei Company that he needs to discuss with him. Then call Chairman Tang and tell him to step in and help stabilize the ten factories. They should stop production for three days. Billy already has concrete information and evidence, and he can eliminate Song Tianyao within three days because Song Tianyao used hair from Mainland China. The production stoppage is to cooperate with the investigation by the Industrial and Commercial Administration Office. Also, have the lawyer in charge of Jimei Company's affairs wait for me downstairs at the Bivero Building and repeat what I said." Gu Linshan's voice was always as melodious and gentle as a silver bell when she met Tang Boqi's company employees. Even before these words, she had spoken with ease and composure. Only the last sentence, "repeating what I said," carried an air of imperious authority.
As Gu Linshan had instructed, A-Lian repeated what Gu Linshan had just told her to do. Gu Linshan nodded and disconnected, then drove to the hospital parking lot and headed towards the Bivero Building.
