Capítulo 1159: Chapter 437: Beyond the Sky
“Among all the middle-level and above employees in Zhao Hang, only you, Gao Jianhong… Actually, I’m quite curious, why don’t you tell me, what does this have to do with you?”
“President Zheng, I-I really don’t know anything, could it be a misunderstanding…”
Facing the furious Zheng Rulin, Gao Jianhong was sweating profusely.
At this moment, he was indeed utterly bewildered.
With so many large corporations and major clients, why would they mention his name specifically?
“If you really don’t know anything, then you are even more impressive.”
Zheng Rulin said coldly, “Unintentionally offending so many advanced clients to the point of death, if you knew even a little, wouldn’t it cause Zhao Hang to go bankrupt today?”
“I…”
While Gao Jianhong was trying to say something, Zheng Rulin had already hung up the phone, with only the busy signal “beep beep” from the other end.
Anxious and flustered, Gao Jianhong quickly redialed, but the call wouldn’t go through anymore.
Unwilling to give up, Gao Jianhong tried several times more, but the result was the same. He then hurriedly dialed other superiors’ numbers, but without exception, any call with a bit of rank seemed to have caught wind of some news, and none of them could be reached.
“Hello, the phone you dialed is temporarily unreachable, please dial later, Sorry, The subscriber you dialed…”
Watching Gao Jianhong like an ant on a hot pan, or rather, a dying man who refuses to believe the bad news, standing repeatedly dialing the phone, a certain speculation in Xu Qing’s mind became increasingly clear, and she couldn’t help but speak up.
“Director Gao, is there a possibility that the person you’re really looking for is standing right here?”
A single sentence awoke the dreamer.
With a pale face, Gao Jianhong suddenly looked up, and at this moment, he finally remembered something.
There was someone present who had predicted his phone would ring within three minutes, and earlier he had said, Gao Jianhong’s career would end here.
[When all impossibilities are excluded, whatever remains, no matter how absurd, must be the truth]
Xu Qing didn’t just awaken Gao Jianhong, but also others present.
Initially, they were just curious about what kind of call Gao Jianhong would receive, but subsequently, they were caught in inexplicable shock, witnessing the sudden downfall of a prominent figure in Magic City’s financial circles. However, Xu Qing suddenly reminded them…
Apparently, they aren’t just aware of the outcome, but also the cause.
“But, how could this be…”
In a corner of the crowd, the family of four of Yu Zetao, who had arrived last, was standing there, Yu Zetao murmured in shock, “Is this Mr. Zhou’s influence really that great?”
Originally, Yu Duo wanted to directly run over to Zhou Wang, but just now He Jiang was confronting Zhou Wang, and Yu Fei was unaware of her intention, worried she might charge forward and cause trouble, so he held her back.
And at this moment, this scene was especially shocking for Yu Zetao’s family.
Especially Yu Zetao.
As a once-glorious billionaire, who has weathered decades of ups and downs, he knows well what level of influence one can reach given a certain status.
Hence he could endure and retreat repeatedly at the earlier banquet, because he held reverence, knowing He Jiang was someone he couldn’t provoke even with his power multiplied tenfold.
Similarly, what kind of existence is Gao Jianhong, being the director of the financial department of Magic City branch?
If Zhao Hang is likened to a large chain of commercial operations, then Gao Jianhong is the head of critical operations in a key metropolitan area of that large chain. He may overtly have a salary of a million, but the funds he handles daily are counted in billions.
His words can determine the survival of countless small and medium-sized enterprises, his actions can affect the livelihood of hundreds.
Sent elsewhere, he could assume the position of a branch president in any ordinary provincial capital, or a deputy president holding real power in a provincial branch, and with a slight promotion, he could enter the head office, becoming a core decision-maker in one of the world’s top 500 companies.
Such a person, whom Yu Zetao could only look up to, fell from grace in a mere ten or twenty minutes, not only with no chance of recovery, but his subsequent fate might be even more tragic…
There are always people who are better, mountains beyond mountains, heavens beyond heavens.
This ancient wisdom continues to be validated on the vast and expansive land of Huaxia even after countless years.
But… is this really all done by the man sitting in the chair, cigarette in hand and still burning?
All of a sudden, everyone’s puzzled and uncertain eyes were cast towards Zhou Wang.
The expression on He Jiang’s face was undoubtedly the most complex, he very much wanted to question, but it all seemed traceable, leaving him unable to find any flaw in it for the moment.
Meanwhile, after a spell of stupor, Gao Jianhong had made his response.
He raised his trembling finger in disbelief towards Zhou Wang, “It’s… really you… what exactly did you do?”
At this moment, Zhou Wang actually felt a sense of contemplation inside.
He certainly knew Qiu Zeyu and others would surely help, so he had Xu Wenqian make the call, but he didn’t expect that their help would be so extensive. Just as Gao Jianhong was desperately making and receiving calls, Xu Wenqian had whispered to Zhou Wang—
Not only did Qiu Zeyu and others exert effort themselves, they also enlisted help from others. It’s not that everyone has an account at Zhao Hang, but surely someone in their social circle does.
