Chapter 1496: Chapter 1494: Aggrieved
宁川.
Shangdong Group.
Chen Siyan paced in the president’s office, looking anxious.
Secretary Liu pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing Secretary Liu come in, Chen Siyan immediately asked, "How is it?"
Secretary Liu’s face looked grim, and he cautiously replied, "Not... not too well..."
"What do you mean not too well! What’s the situation exactly!" Chen Siyan shouted angrily.
Secretary Liu sighed and said to Chen Siyan, "The storefront customers are few and far between, stocks have plummeted, and they hit rock bottom just after the market opened. Three companies have already dropped to ST."
Chen Siyan listened with gritted teeth.
Shangdong Group has gone through many hardships, even dealing with riots in the past.
Now Chen Siyan would rather have a crowd causing trouble because it’s easier to handle that way.
The fear is this silent decline, with fewer customers and falling stock prices, causing the biggest blow!
In the past, mentioning Shangdong Group among Ningchuan people brought expressions of pride. Now, mentioning Shangdong Group causes expressions of disdain.
This is the hit Shangdong Group has suffered in just three days!
Chen Siyan doesn’t care how much money is lost; she cares about Shangdong Group’s reputation. Just like personal credit scores now, if a company’s reputation is gone, its future development path is severed.
"It can’t go on like this!" Chen Siyan’s face was heavy, "What is the planning department doing? Where’s the public relations department? Why haven’t I seen any improvement, and instead, it’s getting worse!"
Secretary Liu looked troubled, "The planning department and public relations department have been working overtime for two days already. This attack on our Shangdong Group is nationwide, with numerous internet trolls. Our PR department has done their best."
"Done their best? I don’t want to hear about doing their best right now; I want everyone to give their all! Have they given their all yet? If others hire trolls, why can’t we? They spend tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions; we’ll spend a billion! Can we still not beat them? Tell the PR department, I’ll give them one more day, if there’s still no improvement, they’ll pack up and get out!" Chen Siyan screamed angrily.
"Yes!" Seeing Chen Siyan angry, Secretary Liu dared not linger and quickly left the office.
But as soon as she stepped out, Secretary Liu was startled.
Because standing before her was a tall man, and beside this man stood a stunningly beautiful woman, the kind that makes any other woman feel overshadowed!
"Yang..." Secretary Liu immediately recognized this legendary figure of Shangdong Group. As she was about to speak, Yang Chen signaled her to stop.
"You go on, get busy!" Yang Chen smiled and said.
He had heard Chen Siyan losing her temper inside earlier.
Secretary Liu nodded and hurried off to the PR department to arrange tasks.
Yang Chen walked to the door and knocked.
"Come in!" Chen Siyan’s cold voice came from inside, still laced with anger.
Yang Chen pushed the door open, Ye Xin followed with a smile on her face.
Chen Siyan was sorting through the files on her desk, growing more annoyed as she did so, and said snappishly, "What do you want! Speak!"
"Nothing, I just came to see you." Yang Chen intentionally made his voice a bit raspy.
"What’s there to see! You’re not busy working, so you’ve come here because you have free time!" Already angry, Chen Siyan immediately slapped the table and stood up upon hearing this.
When she got a clear look at the person in front of her, she was startled.
"Brother!" Chen Siyan stared wide-eyed, incredulously looking at Yang Chen.
"Aren’t you out on a mission?" Chen Siyan, both surprised and delighted, quickly inquired.
Yang Chen laughed and said, "Didn’t I hear that you encountered some trouble here, so I rushed back?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Siyan’s heart, already feeling aggrieved, couldn’t hold back anymore.
"Brother!" Chen Siyan pouted and threw herself into Yang Chen’s arms, tears streaming down.
Yang Chen smiled and consoled, "Look at you, already a big girl, still crying!"
But his heart was aching.
A young girl running a group, enduring such immense pressure, he knew it well.
"Woo woo! Now I realize how tough Sister Xueqing has it, managing such a large group all alone. I have to make decisions, consider everything, and deal with all sorts of matters! It’s enough to drive me crazy! Now the group is taking such a hit, woo woo!" Chen Siyan poured out all her grievances.
In the company, she couldn’t show any weakness. She was the pillar of the whole company; all difficulties and pressures had to be borne by her. Only in front of Yang Chen could she express her emotions like this.
Yang Chen sighed and comforted, "Alright! It’s fine, I’m here, everything will be alright."
"Mm!" Chen Siyan deeply trusted Yang Chen’s words; even if she believed not even a deity could solve the problem, she would trust Yang Chen if he said he could solve it!
Comforting the crying Chen Siyan in his arms, Yang Chen felt a bit helpless.
It seemed not everyone was like Wei Xueqing.
He believed that if Wei Xueqing were here, she would surely handle everything perfectly. But Chen Siyan couldn’t; she’s still too young and not as seasoned in corporate management as Wei Xueqing.
After some comforting, Chen Siyan finally finished venting all her pent-up grievances.
"Alright, come over, I’ll touch up your makeup; you’ve turned into a little crying kitten." Ye Xin approached and said to Chen Siyan.
Seeing Ye Xin, Chen Siyan felt a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law... it’s just that the pressure has been too much lately..."
"I know!" Ye Xin smiled and said, "Your brother worries about you most. Upon hearing the news here, he rushed over without delay."
Chen Siyan gratefully glanced at Yang Chen, knowing that in times of crisis, her brother cared for her the most.
Chen Siyan sat aside while Ye Xin touched up her makeup.
Halfway through the touch-up, the door was suddenly pushed open forcefully, and someone barged in, shouting, "Boss! Heard you’re back!"
Yang Chen turned his head to look at Wang Ming.
Chen Siyan immediately scolded, "Wang Ming! Who told you to come in without knocking? Where are your manners!"
Wang Ming immediately shrank his neck in fright and prepared to retreat.
"Never mind!" Yang Chen stopped Wang Ming, "Just be mindful next time; this is the president’s office, not your security room, you can’t just come in whenever you please! Remember to knock next time!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Ming, like receiving a pardon, quickly said, "I definitely won’t make this mistake again! I was just too excited to hear you were back."
Yang Chen asked, "Do you have any intel to report to me? Wei Xueqing sent you here; she surely didn’t intend for you to just mind the door, right?"
After all, Wang Ming had a background as a standby guard, and although he relaxed for a few years after working security in college, his foundation was still good. Presumably, he had been trained well during his time in Ancheng.
"Of course not! President Wei sent me to help President Chen steer the situation!" Wang Ming said proudly.
