Before she knew it, Chu Yu, slightly tired, slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She slept for a long time until her phone suddenly rang, waking her up.
Chu Yu suddenly opened her eyes and picked up her still-vibrating phone.
Hello? Who is this?
"Miss Chu Yu, this is Song Yuan, Song Yuan. President Chu's special assistant. I couldn't reach President Chu, so I called you without his permission. The rain just now caused our processing plant to collapse, and the building materials were found to be substandard by the inspectors. It has been shut down. What do you think we should do about this?"
Hearing this, Chu Yu finally came to her senses.
The rain did indeed amplify the impact of the factory's situation.
Chu Yu quickly regained his composure.
The state has always had very strict quality inspection standards for buildings, so if the building materials produced by the processing plant are of substandard quality, it will inevitably attract the state's close attention.
When the time comes, an investigation could easily implicate many people.
Even if there's no problem, they'll probably still find a bunch of issues.
If anyone interferes again during this period, the impact on the Chu Group will be fatal.
Chu Yu frowned. "Who is in charge of the processing plant? How could the building materials be substandard? Didn't the quality inspection department conduct an audit beforehand?"
The most likely reason for substandard building materials is that someone, in order to profit, substituted inferior materials to earn the price difference.
But a large corporation like the Chu Group wouldn't cut corners for such a small amount of money.
Therefore, the problem must lie with the people below.
Song Yuan hesitated for a moment before continuing, "The person in charge of this processing plant is Director Huang. He handles many things single-handedly, and the quality inspection department doesn't dare to interfere casually."
Director Huang refers to Huang Yinian, who is the person with the highest power and status in the entire Chu Group, apart from the Chu Family.
If he was the one causing the trouble, then no one would dare to question it.
Chu Yu's eyes immediately filled with coldness.
"Okay, I understand."
Night fell, and the crescent moon hung above the treetops.
Gu Jinhuai sat in the back seat of the van, resting with his eyes closed.
The driver smoothly pressed the accelerator and drove onto the road ahead.
Just then, an unknown, blurry black shadow suddenly flashed past in front of the car, causing the driver's vision to blur for a moment.
The driver regained his senses and immediately stepped on the brakes.
"Squeak--"
The sound of tires rubbing against the ground and a deafening roar followed.
From a distance, the van Gu Jinhuai was riding in looked as if it had suddenly malfunctioned, veering wildly before crashing into a telephone pole. The entire front of the vehicle was destroyed, billowing thick smoke.
Both the driver and Gu Jinhuai suffered a tremendous impact to their heads and fainted on the spot.
Passing vehicles witnessed this scene and hurriedly got out to call the police for help.
"My God, this rain is really making things difficult. There have been so many accidents reported in the news today."
"Sigh, these days, it feels like just living is so hard."
Gu Jinhuai, sitting in the back seat, closed his eyes with blurred vision, a wave of fatigue washing over him, and he quickly fell asleep.
Fifteen minutes later, an ambulance dispatched by a nearby hospital arrived at the scene and rushed the unconscious driver and Gu Jinhuai to the hospital for examination.
In his hotel room, Chu Yu had just finished a phone call and confirmed the list of all those responsible for the accident at the processing plant.
She put down her phone and turned to leave for the company.
But as soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Chu Chen standing outside.
Chu Chen lowered his head. "I just saw the news. It says that one of Chu Group's processing plants was suddenly shut down."
Chu Yu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, nothing serious will happen."
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone suddenly vibrated.
Chu Yu subconsciously picked it up and glanced at it, only to find it was a news notification.
The chairman of the Gu Group was involved in a serious car accident and has been rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Chu Yu's expression froze.
The moment he realized what was happening, Chu Yu as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Chu Chen noticed Chu Yu's actions and glanced at his phone screen.
"Gu... Gu Jinhuai was in a car accident?" Chu Chen's voice was full of disbelief.
Gu Jinhuai was perfectly fine yesterday, so how did he suddenly get into trouble today?
Chu Yu clenched his fists, his heart sinking to the bottom.
From the moment this torrential rain began today, Chu Yu suspected that something unexpected might happen.
So far, firstly, Meng Fuyu suddenly canceled the cooperation with the Lin Family, which led to Lin Qian's accident.
Then came the torrential rain that caused the factory to collapse, revealing quality problems with the building materials, triggering the Chu Group crisis.
Now, even Gu Jinhuai is in trouble.
In other words, everyone who was hostile to Wen Zhixin and Meng Fuyu suddenly met with an accident today.
Chu Yu a deep breath, quickly calming himself down.
She checked the time on her phone.
Today is Sunday, 9:36 PM.
Tomorrow is Monday, a workday, and the stock market, which is closed for the holiday, will be open for trading.
All the news that has been released so far is very unfavorable to the Chu Group and Gu Group.
If both groups experience a sharp drop in stock prices tomorrow, the subsequent negative impacts will be even more numerous and continuous.
"Sister, what about Gu Jinhuai...?" Chu Chen asked worriedly.
Although he outwardly disliked Gu Jinhuai Gu Jinhuai, he secretly didn't want anything to happen to him.
After all, he couldn't let his own sister live a life of widowhood.
A flicker of struggle crossed Chu Yu's eyes.
She still had matters to attend to at the Chu Group's processing plant, but now Gu Jinhuai had suddenly been in a car accident.
A silence filled the corridor.
Chu Chen looked up at Chu Yu, his fingers slightly curled, "Sister, why don't you go see Gu Jinhuai first? I'll keep an eye on the Chu Group for you."
