Chapter 2288: Chapter 2289: Major Event
“Huh? A coffin? What coffin?”
“It’s that kind of red one, about two meters long and one meter wide wooden box, buried underground, used to hold a corpse,” He Yuanyuan explained again.
“I freaking know what a coffin looks like.”
Lin Yi cursed, “What I want to know is how the hell you ended up digging this thing out on a construction site.”
“I was also a bit baffled when I heard the news; it feels a bit bizarre,” Qi Xianzhao said.
“There’s nothing bizarre about it,” Lin Yi said indifferently.
“It’s not uncommon to dig up coffins from the ground; just set off some firecrackers, and that’s good enough.”
Lin Yi didn’t feel anything about events like this.
Ji Qingyan, who worked in real estate, had encountered this kind of thing several times already.
“But the problem is, when the construction was going on, there were still quite a few domestic and foreign journalists who hadn’t left, they all saw this scene, and many reports have already come out; there’s a lot of related public opinion online, and our auspicious start didn’t make an impact.”
“Don’t be so superstitious, just focus on doing our own thing,” Lin Yi said composedly,
“Given the current situation, external capital is unlikely to affect me; in the future, users will vote with their feet, and a slight fluctuation can’t shake us.”
“Don’t be so calm,” He Yuanyuan said,
“Though it won’t affect the Carbon-based Chip project, the company has other businesses, and these intangible impacts have to be taken into account.”
Lin Yi fell silent for a moment, “Do you guys have any good solutions?”
He Yuanyuan shrugged, “Brother Qi and I are decent people, without all those fancy maneuvers, so we have no solution.”
“Damn.”
Lin Yi thought for a second, “You guys go back and hold a press conference, just say that an ancient tomb was dug up on the construction site, and then I’ll get some experts over, and the problem will be solved.”
Qi Xianzhao: …
He Yuanyuan: …
Awesome solution!
The two sincerely admired the solution Lin Yi came up with; ordinary people couldn’t pull off something like this.
The problem was solved, and they stopped worrying, making arrangements for everything Lin Yi had suggested.
The banquet continued, finally ending at a bit past two in the afternoon.
For the rest of the time, Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan, and representatives from Samsung and Mitsui returned to Lingyun Group for a detailed discussion.
It wasn’t until after six in the evening that they settled some of the follow-up details.
As for CITIC Group, they sent no one over, and Lin Yi was solely responsible.
After the meeting, they went to dinner as usual.
However, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan didn’t join this dinner; Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan took care of it.
After the two got home, they washed up simply and then rested.
Early the next morning, Lin Yi was still in his sleep when he was awakened by Ji Qingyan’s shouting.
Lin Yi opened his eyes groggily and heard Ji Qingyan say,
“Hurry up and get up; there’s been trouble, Pufa Bank’s customer data has been leaked, and the internal approval scandal of Lingyun Group has also been reported.”
“Shit!”
Hearing this news, Lin Yi sprang from his bed as if on a spring.
“What’s going on? How could Pufa Bank’s customer information possibly be leaked?”
“I don’t know what happened, it was leaked last night after midnight; the whole financial world is now unsettled, some irregular approval procedures have been exposed, including ones from Lingyun Group.”
Ji Qingyan handed her iPad to Lin Yi.
“Take a look, the detailed information is all in here.”
Taking the iPad from Ji Qingyan, Lin Yi quickly scanned it, gaining a general understanding of the issue.
The information was reported from an overseas website.
It included many professional analyses, some of which were provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Deloitte of the Big Four accounting firms.
From this information, it could be deduced that the enemy had started planning this quite some time ago, but Lin Yi had been kept in the dark.
But it was undeniable that they must have gotten hold of the bank’s customer information; otherwise, there was no foundation for such an action.
The question was, why would the bank’s customer information be leaked?
Lin Yi threw the iPad aside and hurriedly got dressed.
“I’m heading out now; contact me if you need anything.”
Ji Qingyan, knowing the situation was urgent, didn’t say much and just sternly watched Lin Yi leave.
Lin Yi drove his car and called Liang Ruoxu.
“Where are you?”
“In the office.”
“You’re at the company so early?”
“There’s been trouble; I’m here to deal with it,” Liang Ruoxu said,
“I’m a bit busy now; I’ll call you back when I’m done.”
“I’ll be there in twenty minutes; wait for me in the office.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Lin Yi sped up, and his expression grew even more solemn.
He had a clear premonition that this incident didn’t seem to be targeting him directly.
Though the loan from the bank had not gone through the proper channels, it could be easily rectified with a bit of paperwork, which would take only a minute and would not affect anything.
So it couldn’t have any impact on the group itself.
On the contrary, this incident has a huge impact on Liang Ruoxu.
As the lead on economic matters, the exposure of such a scandal would inevitably affect her as a related leader.
For an average person, even if not demoted, it would be the end of their career.
As for what Liang Ruoxu’s future would hold, even Lin Yi could not speculate.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Yi arrived at Liang Ruoxu’s office.
He found several people standing in her office.
When Lin Yi entered, Liang Ruoxu shot him a look and continued talking to the people in the office, urgently handling the news leak.
Twenty-odd minutes later, Liang Ruoxu, looking exhausted, sat in her chair after arranging everything.
“What’s the status of the situation now?”
“With this kind of incident, there’s not much that can be done but to find an excuse to soften it,” Liang Ruoxu said,
“The bank has conducted an internal investigation and found no suspects; luckily, the situation is not too serious, as the leaked data was not confidential, and the only major company involved is your Lingyun Group, so it’s not too difficult to handle.”
Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully.
“From the looks of it, there might still be some room for damage control.”
“Don’t mention it; it’s driving me crazy,” Liang Ruoxu said irritably,
“This morning I was sleeping, and my mother called me about it and even scolded me thoroughly.”
“It can’t be that bad; my mother-in-law is such an elegant person, how could she possibly scold you?”
“Because this time it’s different from usual, the impact is too severe; it could even possibly affect the entire Liang family.”
What do you think?
