Chu Yu didn't turn around, and directly replied, "Let him in."
The expressions of the executives who overheard the conversation between the two changed instantly.
A sense of tension arose in their hearts simultaneously.
Song Yuan quickly brought the personnel responsible for coordinating the construction materials into the conference room.
The staff member in charge had never experienced anything like this before. When they saw a room full of senior managers, they were completely terrified and started trembling.
" Miss Chu, the building materials issue really has nothing to do with me. I'm just following orders; I do what I'm told. I genuinely didn't know there was anything wrong with that batch of materials."
Chu Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't turn around to look at the employee; he simply stared intently at the executives opposite him.
Seeing this, one of the executives finally couldn't help but speak up.
" Miss Chu, this matter concerning the processing plant involves many issues, and we believe it's best to handle it seriously. After all, it concerns the reputation of our entire group."
Chu Yu looked over without changing his expression, "It's precisely because this matter concerns the reputation of the entire group that I've come here personally to oversee and handle it."
After saying that, Chu Yu turned to look at his special assistant Song Yuan, "Bring me the list you've compiled."
Song Yuan immediately bowed and presented a detailed list.
The attention of all the executives was instantly drawn to this scene, and they all turned their gazes away.
Chu Yu took the list, scanned it from top to bottom, and silently memorized several names and photos.
Half a minute later, Chu Yu looked up at the person opposite him, "This list contains all the names of those responsible for this processing plant scandal."
"Everyone is aware of the significant impact this scandal will have on the Chu Group, so all those responsible will be subject to investigation by the group. Does anyone have any objections?"
Upon hearing this, many executives' faces instantly turned ashen.
It's important to understand that the impact of the processing plant incident is quite extensive. If we're really going to be serious about it, almost everyone, from top executives to middle managers and frontline employees, bears some responsibility.
When their own interests were threatened, the executives who had been silent just moments before immediately became anxious.
Someone tried to distance themselves, saying, " Miss Chu, the main person in charge of this processing plant is Director Huang. The rest of us were just following orders. You can't put all the blame on us."
"Yes, yes, we all listen to Director Huang."
Chu Yu looked up, his expression calm. "If it's found that Director Huang is responsible, the group will naturally not let it go unpunished."
These words did not reassure the executives; instead, they caused even more anxiety.
Since Chu Tingnian went abroad, Huang Yinian has been aggressively recruiting teammates within the group.
Many of the executives present supported Huang Yinian, so when they heard Chu Yu say that even Huang Yinian might be dealt with, these people naturally panicked.
Chu Yu's gaze swept across the faces of these executives, silently observing the changes in their expressions.
Chu Yu placed the list in his hand on the table.
"Since no one has anything to say, I'll repeat myself. All personnel involved in this processing plant incident are suspended from their duties pending the group's investigation and disciplinary action, effective immediately."
Upon hearing that all those involved would be suspended pending investigation, the executives instantly lost their composure.
Everyone initially thought the investigation would be just a formality and wouldn't have a significant impact.
Who would have thought they'd be suspended from their posts!
In the business world, everything changes in the blink of an eye. If they're suspended from their posts today, they could be completely replaced by someone else tomorrow. Who can accept that?
The executives immediately launched into a chorus of rebuttals.
"Suspension? We absolutely cannot accept that! We have so many things to do every day. If I'm suddenly suspended, my entire department will definitely be thrown into chaos. Will Miss Chu be responsible for the losses incurred?"
"Exactly. I have several projects in progress. If we all have to suspend our duties, who will handle them?"
" Miss Chu's decision is far too arbitrary; we cannot accept it."
Chu Yu glanced at the group of people who were clamoring against them, his gaze cold.
"I've said this matter is of great importance and everything must be handled seriously. Or are you saying that even I can't control you anymore, and you're determined to take this to the board meeting so I can dismiss you all?"
His indifferent tone carried a hint of threat.
The once noisy meeting room instantly fell silent.
The suspension is only temporary; there is still a chance to be reinstated in the future.
But if the matter escalates to the board meeting and he is removed from his post, then there will be absolutely no chance of him going back.
The executives felt uneasy and finally took Chu Yu's words to heart.
Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, a senior executive who had always maintained a neutral stance suddenly spoke up, "While this matter has indeed had a significant impact on the Chu Group, what if some innocent people are implicated by suspending so many senior executives at the same time?"
Although the processing plant incident involved a large number of people in a chain of interests, it is impossible that they were all Huang Yinian's cronies.
There will definitely be innocent people who have been dragged into this.
Chu Yu smiled calmly, "Many years ago, my father often told me a saying: In the face of major events, it is better to kill the innocent than to let the guilty go free."
"Therefore, anyone who continues to speak up for these individuals today will be treated as an accomplice and suspended from their duties pending further investigation!"
These words finally brought an end to the dispute in the meeting room today.
After the high-level meeting concluded, more than twenty senior executives were suspended pending investigation by the group.
When the news spread within the group, it immediately caused quite a stir.
"Oh my god, our department director has also been implicated and suspended. Who are we supposed to listen to now?"
