Chapter 31 (2/2)
Looking slightly conflicted, almost as if he was doing this for the sake of the family name, announcing in a deep voice, “The board have unanimously voted for the dismissal of the company’s heir. I declare that, from this day on, Quan Jin will be completely–”
Just as the Quans’ master was finishing talking, a few assistants burst through the conference room doors. All of them were pale and anxious as they interrupted the announcement, “Something is very wrong! Ch–Chairman…. Ladies and gentlemen, the company accounts were illegally hacked into and the assets were completely heisted! The stocks are going to crash within three minutes! The Quans are about to face bankruptcy!”
Bankruptcy? That must have been a joke!
The Quans master the document he was holding slip through his fingers and onto the floor. All those who were present in the conference room were paralyzed in shock.
Everyone besides Quan Jin.
“No, this is impossible!” The Quans’ master spoke first. He promptly fell into his seat upon hearing the news of the imminent bankruptcy, and questioned in disbelief, “How could the Quans go bankrupt? Assistant, is this a joke? How could all the assets processed just an hour ago disappear in such a short period of time?”
The other assistants were shaking inside. Under such pressure from the higher-ups, the assistant who had given the announcement looked as if she was choking, unable to get her words out. She lowered her head, and responded solemnly, “Chairman and all stakeholders, it’s true! The account that had hacked into our systems is untraceable, the IT department couldn’t do anything about it! As of ten minutes ago, the Quan Corporation is essentially already bankrupt!”
The news shook them to their cores.
The elders and higher-ups could only feel their heads buzzing from the whiplash.
Quan Corporation was bankrupt. These four words rang in their heads as if it was some sort of spell. Someone suddenly went into a full meltdown and jumped out of his seat, slamming the tabletop and yelling at Quan Jin, “You! You must be thrilled now that the Quans have gone bankrupt, you’re a jinx to this company! If you hadn’t come over to the office, all these would never have happened! Quan Jin! You useless piece of trash, why didn’t you just die seven years ago, why are you dragging the Quans down with you–”
The news of the bankruptcy must have gotten him so agitated that his fingers were trembling.
I shall be nice, I shall not get angry, Quan Jin thought.
All those people…
She reached out to point at the agitated higher-up with a patronizing glance.
“You. Shut up” she said coldly.
“Quan Corporation will not close down. I am the one that can save this company.”
