She cherished this time before graduation greatly. It was only a little over three months left, and she needed to make it worthwhile to justify all her efforts.
She was jogging while listening to the news when suddenly, an announcement interrupted: "Here’s a breaking news," initially she didn’t pay attention, but upon hearing it, she was stunned.
"... A high-level executive, known as old A, suddenly turned into a whistleblower! As a renowned business figure in recent years, he unexpectedly disclosed many unknown materials to the relevant authorities... In a time of fierce industry competition among major companies, his actions were quite surprising, leading people to speculate — what undisclosed business tactics are involved??? Why would he sell out the company’s secrets? As for the company’s group president, Mr. Zhou, his response is yet unknown..."
She stopped in her tracks, in disbelief.
In an instant, she ran to her study to go online.
The internet was buzzing, filled with news everywhere: Why did old A betray at such a critical moment? It must be noted, old A has been with the company for thirty years, climbing from the very basics to become the admired high-paid employee he is today.
The company’s wellbeing was now in the hands of one person.
Reportedly, the authorities, having received this shocking information, were handling it with caution, hence so far, no true big shots had spoken out.
With silence, rumors multiplied in thousands of versions.
It seemed old A had prepared thoroughly to switch to a whistleblower, seeking self-protection?
Next up, there were news about Mr. Zhou attending a company charity donation. In the photos, he remained unfazed, full of spirit, without a hint of anything unusual, not even mentioning this terrifying incident.
Yan Xixi immediately dialed Wan Donglin’s mobile, but it was constantly turned off.
She then called Empress Dowager Liu’s phone, yet it was also switched off.
Both phones off at the same time was an unprecedented situation.
At this moment, she saw Lin Zhiyun, whom she hadn’t seen in ages.
For over a year, she had gotten used to burying herself in study like her classmates in the cafeteria, the library, only returning home on weekends, so she hadn’t needed Lin Zhiyun for a long time.
But now, he appeared.
He came striding forward, got straight to the point: "Mr. Wan instructed me, effective immediately, to stay by your side to protect you closely."
"Where is Mr. Wan?"
"I have no information on him. It was Zhang Xiang who informed me."
Her heartbeat accelerated, immediately realizing that the true moment of life and death had arrived.
At home, it was utter chaos.
Zhou Ting drove back home in a rush, the servant was about to take her bag, she pushed her away and rushed to the second floor.
In the bedroom, her mother was pacing like an ant on a hot pan.
Zhou Ting slammed the door shut: "Oh my God, Mom, what do we do now? Is there any news about Dad?"
Her mother’s face was ashen: "I’m only afraid the company will be ruined."
Zhou Ting’s heart sank, as if plunged into an ice hole.
Old A choosing to betray at this time was like a dagger thoroughly stabbing into the heart of the company.
She timidly asked: "How could this happen? Dad always trusted him so much..."
Her mother harshly retorted: "That ungrateful wretch. Obviously, he’s been prepared for a long time to betray us, those business secrets... Alas... Now it’s all gone, everything is gone..."
In just one night, the whole world was abuzz with this news.
The group stock price plummeted immediately.
At a crucial moment in the commercial race, with such a dagger lodged in the heart, how can recovery be easy?
Zhou Ting stomped her foot in frustration: "When will Dad come back?"
