"What the hell is this? Wasn't the matter with Social services already resolved?"
Hui Guozhi threw the legal notice at his secretary's face. He was in disbelief that the matter he thought was resolved with Chao Bojing's voluntary retirement will resurface biting in his back.
Not only that, he even received a copy of stay order on construction and a draft of victim's statement stating their allegations, notifying him their intention to put everything at a halt until the matter is solved and they are compensated for damages.
Overnight, not only Hui Guozhi but Qi Industries was pulled into the ditch of troubles as well.
Out of breath, Hui Guozhi popped a pill to control his blood pressure, "How the matter reached this far without coming into our knowledge? Where is our man working between them?"
Secretary, "He was forced to resign. A new Secretary-General has taken over two days back; on the first day itself she has forced every corrupt official to resign from the department."
"Dang it! How did she get to know who is corrupt? Make sure nothing leaks out in media-" He paused when a servant of the house knocked on the door of study, "Come in."
Servant, "Master, young Miss. is seeking your presence."
"Send her in." Hui Guozhi's fingers curled across the ends of his chair's armrests, 'She must be here because of the notice'
Trotting high heels against the marble floor, Hui Chouming's dark face entered into the study. She placed the legal notice on the table, "Didn't you say that matter with social services is resolved. What is this then?"
"I know… I'll do something."
"You better be. Don't forget Wren supported you on my insistence. Right now I've covered for you, but if it doesn't get solved on time…..I'm afraid you've to bear the consequences alone." Hui Chouming made her stance clear, Qi industries will wash their hands off of the case if the matter escalated.
Hui Guozhi had the sudden urge to smash something. Qi industries was not a highly valued company until a few years back, but with Hui Pvt ltd's constant backing it reached its current position. And now that it has achieved some status, Qi industries has the nerve to turn a blind eye in order to save themselves.
"Give me two days, I'll handle this new secretary-general." He said stiffly before instructing his assistant, "Find out who 'he' is."
Instead of replying, the secretary was doing something in tab. "Sir, check the news circulating on internet. It's in headlines. Martyr widows have created a post on weibo account to grab attention of masses."
Hui Chouming, "WHAT?" She took her phone out.
Hui Guozhi instantly snatched the tab from secretary to check what they are saying. To his shock, they repeated the exact thing mentioned in the draft he had received and asked for public support. They even shared photographs of damaged electricity wires and obstructed water supplies as proofs to show how the company was tormenting them to get their land.
They further complained that the company was using their power to stop social services from helping them. Clearly stating, that everything was being controlled, and they are helpless.
A cunning tactic to force social services to take prompt action, further grabbing attention of Defence ministry!
If this happens, the entire case will be investigated deeply.
"GET EVETYTHING DELETE," Hui Guozhi yelled at secretary.

Squeezing the shy smile out of her lips, Zhao Suyin checked the time on her watch as she entered the office building.
Right on office time! Thank God, Wang Shi was considerate to drop her.
She pulled her ID card and held it up for the armed security in black to get access and went on to take an elevator ride till thirtieth floor, that's where her office was.
"Morning," She greeted the woman sitting at the reception who got up to greet her, admiring her courtesy.
As she took the right turn nodding at the employees passed by, she saw Long Tao waiting for her at the end of the turn. Her brows perked up seeing the sly smile on his lips.
"Good morning, mam."
En… What's the matter?"
"Someone's waiting for you in the office." He continued walking with her.
"Hm… Do the person have an appointment?"
"No."
"Well…. I'm in the conference room attending an urgent meeting. Either he waits or look for appointment." A sly smile made her face look attractive yet devilish at the same time. Instead of taking right for her office she took left turn to sit in the conference room. "By the way, this is not his private property to wait in the secretary-General's office. Show him his position…."
"Gladly," Long Tao came out of his shocked state in record time, grinning ear to ear, admiring how cool Suyin was. Within a night, she turned the tables.
But how did she handle the news? Why was it still circulating, and Hui Guozhi failed to take it down? Above all, why is it top searched topic of the day, continuously being shared on social media!?
Meanwhile, Suyin dropped her purse on the big round table, and then dialled James number.
"Entire night you kept me worried and awake; now that I'm sleeping, aren't you ashamed of disturbing my sleep?"
After a long ring, James's heavy voice came from the other end.
"I thought of you as an emotionless jerk always, but now I take back my words. I just mentioned about the case casually, and you used your contacts to help me. Thanks."
James stifled a yawn, placing the phone to other ear, "What did I do? What help? What contacts? Are you still drunk, Susu?"
Suyin "…"
"Aren't you the one keeping martyr widow's illegal land acquisition deal as the most searched topic in rankings? Isn't it because of you their Weibo account is still working?" Suyin asked.
"Whaaa…" he mumbled through the fabric, "I've contacts, but they are not strong enough to do so much. Must be someone else! Now, let me sleep, good night."
Suyin hung up, 'If not James, then who?' She barely created a fake Weibo account and posted the news to let the opponent panic. How did it turn so big!?

Meanwhile, Wang Shi was on phone with his assistant Daiyu, "Make sure the post keep on ruling the ranks. It should become the talk of the city, let it caught everyone's attention."
