Everyone was shocked and turned to look.
Zhang You cursed, “D*mn it, these bustards are scolding me again!”
“Is it really my fault? I kept trying, but no one came to help me. Can’t I just curse a little? They actually turned around to scold me!”
Bang!
Zhang You was so angry that he slammed the table.
Liu Pan, Su Jiao, and Tian Yong were already used to it.
Seeing that Zhang You was fine, they continued to do their own thing.
Zhang You put down his phone and noticed Su Chen.
The anger on his face disappeared instantly, and he smiled as he approached Su Chen.
“Su Chen, you’re here.”
“What’s wrong?” Su Chen nodded and asked. “What’s the matter?”
Zhang You smiled and said, “Your medical skills are amazing, so can 1 ask you something? Is there anything wrong with me?”
When Liu Pan and the others heard Zhang You’s words, they also joined in the fun.
Su Chen looked at Zhang You up and down and said, “Other than the fact that your kidneys are a little weak, everything else is fine! Oh right, you’ve been playing games for too long. Your eyes are a little dry and tired. It’s nothing!”
“Su Chen, take a look at my mental state. Is there anything wrong with it? I feel that I have a bad temper when 1 go online, and it’s especially easy for me to be blown up by netizens. 1 keep getting into fights with them!”
“I fight with my in-game teammates especially. If 1 don’t get my way, I will scold them! Moreover, to be honest, the trash talk I spout isn’t very pleasant.”
“Do you think I have a mental disorder?”
Su Chen carefully checked Zhang You’s pulse and then lightly said, “You have no mental problems. I just don’t think you’re very good!”
Zhang You patted his chest and said, “I’m just not good at it? Then I can rest assured.”
Liu Pan, Tian Yong, and the others were speechless.
This doctor-patient conversation was really amazing!
Everyone dispersed again.
Zhang You also went back to his game. He also started gossiping again.
Zhang You came back to Su Chen.
“Su Chen, I heard some gossip!” Zhang You said.
Su Chen looked at him helplessly. “What gossip?”
Zhang You said, “There are a few people in our group chat of different subsidiary companies of our group. I think those subsidiary companies are dealing with some health violations.”
Su Chen was stunned. “What health violations?”
Zhang You scratched his head. “I don’t understand the specifics! It seems quite serious. The few subsidiary companies under us were stormed by the health department and their business was suspended!”
Su Chen was stunned.
What was going on?
Meanwhile…
Zhou Wanqiu had just parked her car. She took the elevator up.
Before she reached the office door, Gao Min rushed over angrily.
“Zhou Wanqiu, what the h*ll is this?”
Zhou Wanqiu was confused.
“Gao Min, are you unwell again?” Zhou Wanqiu frowned.
“Unwell? I think you’re the one who’s sick!”
“Let me ask you something. Are you trying to pick a fight with me because my brother is about to take over the Binjiang Entertainment City food center project? Are you worried about your position as CEO?”
Zhou Wanqiu was confused.
Pick a fight?
Yao Zhenfeng had already signed the contract with her for the food center project. Why did she need to pick a fight?
“What did you say? 1 don’t understand!” Zhou Wanqiu frowned.
“You don’t understand?” Gao Min said angrily. “Then why are all the subsidiary companies, food factories, fast-food chains, and restaurants under Zhou Catering Group being penalized by the Health Department? What do you want if not for the company to go bankrupt?”
Zhou Wanqiu glared at her and said sternly, “What did you say? All of them were suspended by the Health Department?”
Gao Min was intimidated by Zhou Wanqiu’s imposing manner and could only nod.
“Immediately arrange a meeting with the company’s top management personnel!”
Zhou Wanqiu said that and turned to leave.
Gao Min was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses.
“Bah! What are you pretending for? As the CEO, you have to bear the greatest responsibility for this crisis!” Gao Min shouted at Zhou Wanqiu’s back.
Soon, the meeting of Zhou Catering Group’s high-level executives began.
The heads of all the departments were present. The heads of the subsidiary companies and independent departments who could make it also came.
There were also shareholders of the corporation, big and small. Anyone who could come was here.
Zhou Rongchang and Zhou Pingjiang also rushed over at the last minute.
It was clear that the situation was serious.
The atmosphere in the conference room was tense.
Everyone’s faces were ashen as they listened to one report after another.
“CEO Zhou, the health inspection of Haobin Food Street has been announced. The Health Department has given us an ultimatum. Rectify it within a day, or else it will be closed indefinitely!”
“CEO Zhou, the Zhou Restaurant has also received a notice from the Health Department saying that there was a problem with our kitchen environment and that we have to rectify it within the given timeframe.”
“CEO Zhou, as for the Zhou fast food chain, more than 20 chain stores have been notified that they have to close down and reorganize. The reopening date will be announced later! If this continues, the loss of ingredients every day would be astronomical!”
“And Ruyi Restaurant…”
The words of the various department heads made Zhou Wanqiu’s head spin.
All the shareholders and department heads frowned.
“CEO Zhou, you’re the CEO of our company. Shouldn’t you explain to us why this happened?” Gao Min jumped out and questioned.
Zhou Wanqiu frowned. “I’ve already sent someone to investigate. 1 believe there will be results soon.”
“What will that do? Health violations are crucial when it comes to the food and beverage industry! If you can’t solve this problem, the only thing that awaits Zhou Catering Group is closure!” Gao Min said coldly.
Zhou Wanqiu was furious. “Don’t you think 1 know that? Do you think I wanted this to happen? Zhou Catering Group was founded by my grandfather. It took generations of management to get it to what it is today!”
“We have a problem, so we must find the cause and resolve it. This is the correct way of thinking for an internal meeting! What good is your criticism now?”
“If you think you can solve it, then do it! If you can’t, why bother being arrogant?”
Zhou Wanqiu’s imposing manner made Gao Min pause. She didn’t know what to say.
At this time, Gao Min’s brother, Gao Renhuai, said coldly, “Zhou Wanqiu, Head Secretary Gao Min is determining who is responsible for this. Is that so wrong?”
“You’re the CEO of the corporation. The board of directors gave you the power to manage the entire company’s operations because they want you to lead the corporation to greater glory, not to watch you destroy the company!”
“Although Zhou Catering Group is under the Zhou family’s name, it does not belong to the Zhou family. We are the shareholders, and we are all watching!”
After he said that, all the major and minor shareholders voiced their support.
Zhou Wanqiu’s expression was bitter.
Although the Zhou family held most of the shares of the Zhou Corporation, Gao Renhuai also had a lot of shares. The minority shareholders who were on his side still could cause a ruckus.
At this moment, Zhou Pingjiang stood up and said coldly, “1 want to know what you’re trying to say, Vice Chairman Gao.”
The room instantly fell silent.
After Zhou Rongchang stepped down, Zhou Pingjiang had taken over as the chairman of Zhou Catering Group.
He had the highest status here.
However, Gao Renhuai was the second biggest shareholder of the company and the vice chairman.
In terms of status, he was slightly inferior to Zhou Pingjiang although he had more authority than Zhou Wanqiu.
The chairman and vice chairman were disagreeing, and that made everyone scared.
Gao Huairen faced Zhou Pingjiang without a trace of fear. “Chairman Zhou, it doesn’t matter what I’m trying to say! The point is, we have to see what the Health Department thinks. Do they want to shut down our company?”
The two of them looked at each other, both refusing to back down.
At this moment, an employee shouted, “Not good! Someone from the Health Department is here!”
