Mr.CEO Looks Exactly the Same as My Son!-Chapter 554: Facing Bankruptcy

In the minds of the people, the image of a good, incorruptible, and upright person was completely shattered. Residents who originally supported Jiang Zhengguo for mayor found it difficult to accept because the incident happened so suddenly.

There were even several instances caught by the media of people rushing to the Jiang Mansion to cause a disturbance, only to be driven away by security in the end...

Because of this incident, Jiang Zhengguo’s image as a "good official" in the hearts of the people crumbled, and upon hearing of his arrest, some even clapped and cheered...

Unable to find an outlet for their anger, they turned their blame toward the Jiang Group. The company’s shareholders couldn’t withstand the pressure, and threatened to withdraw their shares...

Many business partners also claimed they wanted to terminate contracts. At this time, the Jiang Family stocks that Beichen Rui had Mo Han acquire some time ago were anonymously sold at a low price by a subsidiary of the Beichen Group...

In no time, the Jiang Group was faced with the risks of bankruptcy, downsizing, and massive default penalties...

Because of this, Jiang Zhenghai was overwhelmed and even put aside his dignity to personally visit and plead with them not to withdraw their shares...

But now, who would not prioritize their own safety? With Jiang Zhengguo’s sudden downfall, no one wanted to be the scapegoat...

Even the Beichen Family, who usually had close ties with the Jiang Family, remained silent, refusing to act foolishly. Now, the Jiang Family could be said to be like rats running across the street, with everyone wanting to kick them while they are down, and no one willing to offer help...

...

Jiang Shihan stood in front of the window, lost in thought, until her phone vibrated continuously in her hand, bringing her back to her senses.

She looked down, unlocked the screen, and pulled down the notification bar. A push notification appeared on the screen.

She glanced at it indifferently; it was about her father. In the past few days, a storm of unprecedented scale had erupted online...

Overnight, the Jiang Family became the target of everyone’s criticism and a topic of conversation over meals...

She lightly pressed her lips together, ultimately lacking the courage to click on the news. Returning to the main screen, she hesitated for a few minutes before opening the contact list. Her finger swiped across the screen a few times to find the number she hadn’t dialed in the past few days...

Her fingers trembled, and she tried several times without pressing down, a sense of inexplicable frustration rising within her, causing her to toss the phone aside...

Ten minutes later, stabilizing her emotions, she picked up the phone again, and looking at the phone number on the screen, finally pressed dial...

[The number you have dialed is switched off, please try again later].

A mechanical female voice came through the receiver. Unwilling to give up, she took the phone down and redialed.

The same mechanical voice echoed...

She stared blankly at the phone screen for a while, clicked on messages, and tapped a few times on the screen before sending a message to him...

[Rui... I want to talk to you about something. Do you have time to meet?]

After the message was successfully sent, she nervously clutched the phone tightly in her hand. With an anxious heart, she waited for more than half an hour, but no reply came.

A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she dialed the number again, only to find it still showed as switched off.

...

Meanwhile, in Hai City.

In the blossoming March, the mountains and fields were covered with blooming peach flowers, resembling a pink ocean under the view, with each flower delicate and radiant, fresh dewdrops hanging on the petals. This sight brought joy and serenity to one’s heart...

The sea of flowers and the horizon formed a continuous image, appearing even more vibrant and charming under the sunlight. Unable to resist, visitors often came beside the trees to gently pick a flower...
