“Old Madam, something happened to the Shen family!”
Before Gu Enlong reached home, he revealed the terrible news over the phone first.
“What did you say?”
“Old Madam, isn’t the Shen family going to be listed as a whole? But at this critical moment, someone found out that the paper used to make the medicine packaging and the toxic elements in the printed ink have seriously exceeded the standards!”
“How is that possible?!” Old Madam Gu’s voice suddenly became shrill. “Hurry up and get someone to settle it. Spend some money to settle it!”
“It’s too late. The news has already been leaked. The presidential office has already called for an emergency meeting overnight to investigate. It also publicly stated that they can’t tolerate such a serious and dangerous act of harming the citizens. They said that this is a crime! There were even people who caused trouble at the Shen family’s factory and said that their relatives died from an illness that was caused by poison from the packaging. They wanted to sue us for ten times their losses as compensation… In short, it’s chaotic! Completely chaotic!”
Listening to Gu Enlong’s anxious report, Old Madam Gu couldn’t hold on anymore and collapsed into the armchair.
When one was old, the most important thing was her life savings.
Old partners and even children were secondary.
Thus, the greatest impact on her was when something happened to the Shen Corporation!
“How did it end up like this… How did it end up like this…”
She muttered to herself and refused to believe this outcome.
It was just medicine pacakging. Even if it was made with toxic components, it wasn’t poisonous. How did it become a serious harm to the citizens?
Those people were sick to begin with and deserve to die. Why were they clinging onto the Shen family?
These people must be jealous of her money!
As Gu Meifeng listened, she scrolled through Weibo. She was so frightened that she couldn’t be bothered to feel sorry for Qing Cheng’s villa anymore.
“Mom, it can’t be that they won’t let the Shen family get listed, right? Then, will there be a problem with the few million original shares that I invested in? No, I want to withdraw my investment. Mom, let them return the money to me first!”
Gu Meifeng didn’t have much money left in her hands. Initially, she thought that since the Shen family would be listed, she could take advantage of the huge increase in the stock value to fish up a huge sum. Then, she could sell Gu Qiushan’s villa and earn another huge sum.
But who would have thought that everything would turn into nothing overnight!
All her money flew away.
No, she had to protect herself!
Gu Yuanyuan was also anxious. She stomped her feet and threw a fit. “Grandma, there’s still my father’s investment. If we withdraw it, we’ll withdraw it together! My father said that those shares were to be given to me. If the company doesn’t go public, I’ll suffer a huge loss!”
Old Madam Gu swept her gaze across these two people who only recognized money and said in annoyance, “If we’re going to die, let’s die together!”
The Shen family was in danger. Withdrawing their investment would cost them their lives.
Seeing that everyone was in a mess and Gu Xuexue was sitting in a wheelchair, she suddenly felt that her chance in life had arrived!
Only in a crisis would there be a chance!
She pursed her lips and walked forward in a wheelchair. She pulled the old lady’s trembling hands and said gently, “Grandma, if we can find a chance to interact with the presidential palace, will there be room for reconciliation?”
The old madam was stunned.
That’s right. Enlong said just now that the presidential palace had designated the Shen family’s case as a crime.
If the presidential palace could take back this judgment and refute the rumors, those reporters definitely wouldn’t dare to report randomly anymore.
The CSRC would also reconsider the Shen family’s listing.
The President’s Manor…
Old Madam’s turbid eyes lit up. “You’re indeed my most doted granddaughter. You’re still smart at the critical moment! As long as the presidential palace changes its decision, there’s still hope for the Shen family!”
Gu Yuanyuan glared at Gu Xuexue with jealousy and hatred. A country bumpkin from a widow’s family only knew how to show off! Who wouldn’t think of this? The problem was that the presidential palace was too high to reach. Who could change the decision of the presidential palace?!
