The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 28 - 28 28 Corporate Crisis

28: Chapter 28 Corporate Crisis 28: Chapter 28 Corporate Crisis Recently, several partners of Tianya Group collectively breached contracts, tying up most of the company’s liquid capital.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, it won’t be long before the company’s stock price plummets, and the company might even go bankrupt.

Su Qingyu has been extremely busy with this matter lately; Tianya Group is Su Pengzhan’s life’s work after all, and she absolutely cannot let it be destroyed overnight.

She personally went to negotiate with those partners and was rejected by all of them, with very firm attitudes.

Su Qingyu suspects that someone is behind them, wanting to seriously harm the Group.

Now, all she can do is try her best to recollect funds for the company’s basic operations; otherwise, despite Tianya Group being worth more than a billion on the market, it will face a desperate situation.

Ye Shikai sensed something wrong from Su Qingyu’s tone.

He was a bit worried, feeling that Su Qingyu seemed to have suffered a setback.

After hesitating for a long time, he still felt uneasy.

Telling Su Ziqing with a word, he left the villa and drove towards the Tianya Group.

Upon arriving at the top floor of Tianya Group, Ye Shikai directly opened the door to the President’s office, startling Su Qingyu.

When she saw that it was Ye Shikai who entered, she was puzzled and felt a touch of emotion deep inside.

“Qingyu, I’ve brought you some late-night snacks.

Eat them while they’re hot,” Ye Shikai said, opening the insulated container he had and handed Su Qingyu a bowl of noodles.

“I’m not hungry.

You eat it,” Su Qingyu responded coldly.

With everything in shambles right now, she had no appetite at all.

“Man is iron, and food is steel; no matter how busy you are, you still need to eat,” Ye Shikai earnestly advised.

“Ye Shikai, haven’t you said enough?” Su Qingyu shouted out directly, her heart in turmoil and growing frantic with Ye Shikai’s words.

Ye Shikai was stunned, nearly spilling the noodles on the desk.

His heart ached, and his face grew gloomier.

Softly he asked, “Qingyu, are you encountering some trouble?” Despite the pain, Ye Shikai hadn’t lost his reason; he knew Su Qingyu must be facing some difficulties.

Su Qingyu regretted snapping at Ye Shikai, but the thought of the company’s issues made her fretful, and in the end, she sighed helplessly, closed her eyes, and slowly said, “The company is in great trouble.

We urgently need funds.

Ah, forget it, it’s no use telling you.

Let’s go home.”

On the way, Ye Shikai sat in the passenger seat, looking at Su Qingyu’s solemn face.

Actually, he didn’t mind that Su Qingyu had lost her temper with him because he knew there was a reason for it.

In Su Qingyu’s eyes, he was just a pretty boy.

What Su Qingyu sought was a man of great talent and ability, not a useless wimp.

The next morning, Ye Shikai arrived at the company and immediately saw an attractive figure approaching him—it was Wanna, the head of one of the PR departments.

What was this enchanting siren doing, “Ye, how come you never contact me?

You weren’t at work yesterday.

Did you forget about me?” Wanna cooed, looking at Ye Shikai’s embarrassed face, she couldn’t help but laugh, “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore.

The department head is looking for you; you better hurry.”

An Lan was actually looking for him, could it be because of the incident at the Peninsula Hotel?

Ye Shikai felt a bit guilty and turned to leave for the department head’s office.

“Lan, you were looking for me?” Ye Shikai knocked on the door and asked upon entering.

“Shikai, the company is facing a major crisis,” An Lan said gravely, getting straight to the point.

Ye Shikai knew An Lan was not one to joke around, especially not with matters concerning the company, and recalling Su Qingyu’s issue from the previous night, he wondered if the company really was in trouble.

With this thought, he grew serious and asked with a furrowed brow, “Lan, what exactly is going on?

How can the company be in crisis?”

An Lan detailed the situation to Ye Shikai.

This matter was a company secret, known only to a few top-level executives.

The reason, of course, was to prevent destabilizing the morale of the troops.

If all the staff knew, the company would already be in chaos.

But An Lan always had an inexplicable reliance on and sense of security around Ye Shikai, feeling that with him present, any issue could be resolved, which is why she disclosed the matter to him.

After listening, Ye Shikai looked somber, but he was clear in his mind that this was definitely someone’s deliberate action, specifically targeting Tianya Group; otherwise, it wasn’t possible for all the partners to breach contracts collectively.

“Lan, I’m just a junior staff member.

Why tell me about this?” Ye Shikai asked with confusion; after all, he was merely a white-collar worker, why would An Lan confide in him.

“Actually…

I need your help with something,” An Lan admitted, her face turning red with embarrassment.

“What is it?”

An Lan handed a promissory note to Ye Shikai, “New City Group, owes…

ten million.” Ye Shikai muttered, unexpectedly it was a debt note; he finally understood why An Lan was looking for him—to collect a debt.

New City Group, Ye Shikai had heard about them while getting familiar with the PR department.

A notorious mobster group with underworld backing, anyone who went to their company to collect debts were mostly crippled and left on stretchers.

“Because of this crisis, President Su must now gather some capital.

I know the debt from New City Group is hard to collect, and it’s okay if you refuse,” An Lan said uneasily.

Debt collection was within the PR department’s purview, but there was only one man in the PR department; they couldn’t send a woman into the lion’s den, that would be sending sheep to the slaughter.

If it wasn’t for the company’s urgent need for funds, An Lan would be very reluctant.

Ye Shikai smirked, thinking it was not such a big deal.

If this happened overseas, nobody would dare owe Netherworld Palace money—that would be courting death, “Don’t worry, Lan.

This is my job after all.

Just wait for my good news.”

Watching Ye Shikai’s retreating figure, An Lan felt a mysterious sense of security; she believed Ye Shikai could certainly get it done.

At the New City Group’s lobby, Ye Shikai stood at the reception desk and told a receptionist, “Call your manager out.

I’m here to collect a debt.”

“Okay, the manager’s office is on the thirteenth floor, second door on the right,” the receptionist said, thinking to herself, “Another one with a death wish; should I call the ambulance in advance?”

Reaching the manager’s office, Ye Shikai didn’t bother with courtesy and kicked the door open, reasoning that since they were all gangsters, he’d fight fire with fire.

“Representing Tianya Group for debt collection, quick, pay up,” Ye Shikai calmly lit a cigarette, looking every inch the nonchalant, rogue element of society.
