CEO is Picky but Handsome - Chapter 34

As the year comes to an end, so does the bidding for sponsorship rights. The heated competition for the tender has made this event one of the hottest events in the industry recently. The success of Yongkang Group’s recent moves has boosted its reputation and made it the favorite to win the tender over Phoenix Group. In this situation where victory or defeat was a foregone conclusion, Phoenix Group’s Project 2 team demonstrated amazing professionalism, still working day and night, constantly striving for ultimate victory. So much so, that a reporter openly spoke up for the Phoenix Group in his report, “It’s still too early to say who will win.”
However, more media outlets are scrambling to render the invincibility of the Phoenix Group and celebrate the great victory of the Phoenix Group in advance. A financial column in a media outlet even openly wrote an article claiming that Yongkang Group was about to win a big battle and even shake Phoenix Group’s dominant position in many industries on the basis of it. There are countless financial blogs that have become overnight successes by predicting the sponsorship battle.
Late night, on the outskirts of town.
It was a slightly cold bar, the sign lighting bright but even more bleak in the freezing winter night. The old signboard pokes out a brand new light box, which reads “KTV rooms inside”, which is supposed to be a new business that the owner had no choice but to do because of the bar’s poor business.
In the bar diagonally across the road, a black Toyota car slowly lowered the window.
The fire inside the car is brightly lit, is someone lit a cigarette, took a deep breath.
Heavy smell of smoke drifted out of the window, the car silently swallowed the smoke, but the eyes are not momentary, looking at the far side of the main door of the bar.
This place is remote, has always been less customers, but tonight, in and out of the people seem to be too much.
The winter night is cold, even if the car is heated, but the window is open, the temperature inside the car is not much higher. Gu Xinzhang put his arm on the window, every time he breathed out of the hot air in front of his eyes called a small cloud of white mist.
Tonight he had arranged to meet with someone here at 10:30 PM. He arrived on time, but didn’t go in.
He parked his car not far from the bar, during which time his cell phone was turned off and the car was turned off. Half an hour later, it turned out that he had done nothing wrong.
The two people he had originally agreed to meet with were full of woes and were escorted out by plainclothes policemen; the two men’s wrists were covered with clothes, but Gu Xinzhang knew that underneath were handcuffs.
If he had gone in himself, the ones being escorted out now would have been three people, right?
He raised the window and started the car. The well-performing engine worked quickly, and the black streamlined body of the car drove away from the scene silently like a stringed arrow.
Three days later, it was the day when the total sponsorship rights were revealed. As promised, Gu Xinzhang provided Yongkang Group with internal documents for the last time. Afterward, Yongkang Group followed the agreement and helped him gain the power of Phoenix Group.
However, all of this has now become a fiasco.
In the darkness of the night, Gu Xinzhang pressed the gas pedal to the floor.
Is it a pity? Yes, after planning for such a long time, it was not a pleasant feeling to have it all come to nothing. But he could afford to lose, there were still so many days ahead, the big deal was to start all over again. Moreover, he is not the same Phoenix executive vice president who had nothing at the beginning. The bottom of the upper, he has touched a seven or eight, with such a big chip in hand, not worried about the second third Yongkang Group. Nowadays, the top priority is to figure out, why the police will know the location of their agreement?As well as, seal these two people’s mouths, don’t let them give up their ……
cars speeding on the road late at night, Gu Xinzhang quickly rushed through the intersection while glancing at the confidential documents lying quietly on the passenger seat.
Then, with a sharp turn of the steering wheel, he drove the car directly onto the cross-sea bridge.
Late at night, the traffic flow of the entire city was reduced to a minimum, but there was still traffic on the cross-sea bridge. Gu Xinzhang parked his car in the emergency lane, climbed over the low fence, and walked step by step toward the bridge. Seawater, all the way to the east, the sea breeze wrapped with fishy salty breath, let a person feel cold all over the body for no reason.
Gu Xinzhang tightly pinched the documents in his hands, and for a moment, subconsciously, he did not want to walk to the bridge. But the next moment, this feeling was forced down by him.
This document in his hand is the evidence that he betrayed the company’s secrets, if not dealt with as soon as possible, the consequences will be endless.He no longer had time to find a secure place to burn them, let them rot in the sea water, just like everything he had done, no one would know ……
“Stop! Don’t go any further.” Suddenly, an unfamiliar and cold order came from behind, “Gu Xinzhang, we are the police, and now there are a few questions that we need you to cooperate with the investigation. Put what’s in your hand on the ground and slowly turn around. Don’t try to resist, it won’t do you any good.”
Police?
Gu Xinzhang’s footsteps lurched, and in the next second, his arm swung round, and the document in his hand drew a parabola in the air, flying far toward the dark and heavy seawater.
The sound of footsteps behind him rose, and at the moment the document flew out, he was pounced on by two or three people at the same time. Cold handcuffs clipped his hands behind his back and tightly cuffed them together, but Gu Xinzhang raised his head high as if he didn’t care. For the first time, that pair of eyes that always shone with a friendly light revealed an emotion of fear, his eyes widened as he stared dead at the documents in mid-air, an unconscious low shout escaping from his mouth.
Only to see that the binding cost of white paper flying over the railing, straight toward the sea water fell, and then, just before falling down to the bridge, was a posture of a police officer out of the body, can catch.
At ten o’clock in the morning of the next day, the biggest news website of N country broke the news that two top executives of Yongkang Group were suspected of illegally stealing the internal secrets of their rivals and were arrested. At twelve noon, the incident further fermented and more details were revealed. The two senior executives of Yongkang Group who were arrested were allegedly the main persons in charge of this total sponsorship declaration program, and what they illegally stole was the internal secrets of the rival Phoenix Group. By 2:00pm, the official statement was released, confirming that the two executives were indeed arrested, and the incident is under further interrogation. And the gossip shows that all the wonderful plans of Yongkang Group since its participation in the total sponsorship competition have been plagiarized from Phoenix Group, and the two arrested executives have stolen the secrets of nearly ten competitors, including Phoenix Group, in recent years through unlawful means. When this incident came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
Yongkang Group’s stock price plummeted, and the group’s president urgently held a press conference to clarify the matter, but was forced to flee by the media’s questioning at the scene. The business community was abusive, originally favorable to the Yongkang Group of the media and commentators immediately reversed, and even wrote a sharp-edged article scolded its destruction of business ethics, disrupting the market norms, and the total sponsorship of the controversy is also therefore more widely concerned. Some media tried to contact Phoenix Group for an interview, but the group’s public relations department issued a letter saying that all members of the second group of the project are doing the final sprint for the declaration of the total sponsorship rights, declining interviews. This closed-door attitude makes the outside world’s voice of speculation even more prevalent.
After two days of fuss, the National Convention Center, the event organizing committee officially announced the list of sponsors for the event. Among them, the general sponsor without any doubt, by the Phoenix Group picked up, which also for this annual drama, draw a temporary stop.
As the president of Phoenix Group, Huo Zhun silently instructed his driver to drive to an unexpected place after the meeting.
