50: Chapter 50 Kill him by destroying his spirit!

Baili Group.

For some time now, Baili Heavy Industry has been under official investigation.

At this moment, on Chairman Dong Baili's desk lay the official investigation results.

These involved every department of Baili Heavy Industry, and the sheer number of issues made Chairman Dong Baili's expression look incredibly grim.

"Send people to investigate these issues immediately! Right now!"

Chairman Dong Baili said in a cold voice, his tone as chilling as thousand-year-old ice, sharp and oppressive.

"Yes!"

The secretary dared not say more, acknowledged the order, and hurriedly went to carry it out.

Chairman Dong Baili sat in front of his desk, his face looking ugly.

Recently, due to the official investigation, all company operations had stalled, leading to an inability to deliver orders to buyers on time, resulting in serious economic losses.

And the root cause of all this, when traced back, was still Xu's Heavy Industry.

"Damn it, what bad luck. I shouldn't have gotten involved in Xu's Heavy Industry's affairs!"

Chairman Dong Baili lit a cigar, his face flushed with anger.

He had originally thought that acquiring Xu's Heavy Industry would be a simple matter.

Unexpectedly, he had tried to be clever only to end up worse off, bringing a whole mess of trouble upon himself.

Troubles were endless, and it had seriously affected the company's normal operations.

Chairman Dong Baili was also depressed...

Who could have guessed that Xu's Heavy Industry, that damn company, was actually making those things?

Thinking about the information he had obtained from the inside regarding Xu's Heavy Industry, Chairman Dong Baili gritted his teeth in hatred, feeling an intense itch of resentment.

A perfectly good heavy industry enterprise, and yet they went off to make doomsday mecha and Transport Aircraft?

Is this what a heavy industry enterprise on the verge of bankruptcy should be doing?

"That brat Xu Hao has really done me in!!"

Chairman Dong Baili exhaled a puff of white smoke, his expression unreadable.

After all this tossing and turning, Baili Group had suffered huge losses...

Meanwhile, the mood of President Tang Minghui of Tangs Heavy Industry was the exact opposite of Chairman Dong Baili's.

When Xu's Heavy Industry was deep in a public opinion crisis, although he had not extended a helping hand, he hadn't kicked them while they were down either.

So now, he was thinking about how to get on board with Xu's Heavy Industry and build a good relationship with them.

"President Tang, the preparations are complete. Should we go visit Xu's Heavy Industry now?"

The secretary walked into the office and asked President Tang Minghui.

"No, no, no!" President Tang Minghui put down his teacup and waved his hands repeatedly. "Now is not the time!"

The secretary looked puzzled.

Now that Xu's Heavy Industry had officially announced that it had become a state-owned enterprise, this was a great thing.

If they visited Xu's Heavy Industry now, wouldn't it be the perfect opportunity to use congratulations as an excuse to build rapport with them?

Seeing the confusion on the secretary's face, President Tang Minghui explained:

"Xu's Heavy Industry has just partnered with the Dragon Kingdom and become a state-owned enterprise; they must be very busy during this time."

"If we visit rashly, it would be quite intrusive."

President Tang Minghui rubbed his chin, took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and then added:

"After they finish this busy period, we will pick a time to go visit."

"Hmm... let's set it for a month from now; by then, they should be mostly done with their busy work."

President Tang Minghui put down his teacup, making his decision.

"Yes!" The secretary nodded.

"By the way, what kind of person is Xu Hao, the chairman of Xu's Heavy Industry? In terms of personality, does he have any special hobbies?"

Seeming to remember something else, President Tang Minghui asked the secretary.

"This... we haven't investigated that."

The secretary looked troubled and hesitated.

Hearing this, President Tang Minghui frowned.

Immediately after, the secretary spoke again:

"However, we have a few old employees from Xu's Heavy Industry in our factory; they should know at least a little something."

"Oh?" President Tang Minghui's expression changed instantly, revealing a hint of joy, and then he urged:

"Call them over, I want to ask them!"

"Alright, I'll go right now!" Hearing this, the secretary immediately rushed to the workshop.

Before long, the secretary brought Engineer Li, Zou Hao, Xiao Wang, and others to the president's office.

Engineer Li and the others felt nervous, not knowing why the president had suddenly called them over.

When they walked into the president's office, President Tang Minghui stood up from his seat and came before the three of them.

He laughed and asked:

"The three of you worked at Xu's Heavy Industry before, right?"

Engineer Li and the others were stunned, looked at each other, and were confused, but they didn't dare to hide anything and nodded one after another.

"Yes, President."

The three answered respectively.

"Good!"

President Tang Minghui was immediately pleased, signaled for the three to sit on the sofa, and he sat opposite them.

Engineer Li and the others sat tremblingly opposite President Tang Minghui, unsure why the president was suddenly asking about Xu's Heavy Industry.

And thinking of Xu's Heavy Industry, none of their expressions were good.

Especially Zou Hao and Engineer Li.

President Tang Minghui didn't notice the expressions on their faces and asked on his own accord:

"Now that Xu's Heavy Industry has become a state-owned enterprise, its growth momentum is very strong. When you were at Xu's Heavy Industry, what did you think of the company?"

Hearing this, Engineer Li's face turned awkward.

He was the one who had first led everyone to resign, originally thinking that Xu's Heavy Industry would completely go bankrupt during the last public opinion crisis.

But what he didn't expect was that it would undergo such a transformation and become a state-owned enterprise.

Engineer Li felt a mix of emotions in his heart, indescribable.

"It... it was just so-so, we don't really know much."

Engineer Li's expression was awkward, and after saying this, it was as if he had used up all his strength, his whole body becoming weak.

He thought that if he hadn't resigned, he would also be an employee of a state-owned enterprise now.

But, there are no "ifs" in life...

President Tang Minghui completely failed to notice the strangeness in Engineer Li's tone and continued on his own:

"Xu's Heavy Industry is quite good, especially their chairman Xu Hao; he is so young yet has such strength and vision, truly a rare talent. What do you think?"

President Tang Minghui looked at Engineer Li and the others again.

Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of Engineer Li and the others became even more awkward.

Xiao Wang was doing okay, just having some mixed feelings in his heart.

On the contrary, Zou Hao's face turned green and then white.

The better Xu Hao led Xu's Heavy Industry to develop, the more uncomfortable it was for him.

Now, the president was praising Xu Hao profusely right in front of him, which, to him, was simply a fatal blow to the heart.

If it weren't for the fact that the person opposite was the president of Tangs Heavy Industry, he would have probably exploded with anger.

"President... President Tang, we were just small employees at Xu's Heavy Industry; we don't know much about Xu Hao."

Zou Hao gritted his teeth, holding back his anger, and put on a smile that looked worse than crying, saying.

"Oh, that's true. After all, you were ordinary employees and couldn't come into contact with someone like Xu Hao. I understand, I understand."

President Tang Minghui laughed it off.

Zou Hao and Engineer Li's expressions became even worse; they took a deep breath, their faces trembling.

"President Tang, if there's nothing else, we'll leave first. The workshop is a bit busy, and we can't be away for too long..."

Engineer Li really couldn't stay any longer.

Zou Hao was even more so.

The more President Tang Minghui praised Xu Hao, the more he was stabbing him in the heart; it was worse than death.

Therefore, they just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Alright, you may go." President Tang Minghui said casually.

Hearing this, Engineer Li instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when they reached the door, they inadvertently heard a sigh from President Tang Minghui:

"I must learn more from a young man like Xu Hao who has real talent and long-term vision, and strive to build a good relationship with him."

Hearing this, Engineer Li and Zou Hao both took a deep breath and quickened their pace significantly...
