Chapter 65: A Storm Is Coming

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the conference room…

Everyone stood up, and their expressions changed.

The Health Department first seized the company's various subsidiary companies, independent hotels, chain restaurants, and subordinate food factories, and now they had arrived at the company's headquarters. What were they trying to do?

Could it be that they wanted to get all of Zhou Catering Group in one fell swoop?

Everyone's expression was sour.

“I hope it's good news. If it's bad news, I'll teach your family a lesson.”

Gao Huairen said that vicious sentence and walked out of the meeting room. Everyone followed.

…..

Zhou Pingjiang's expression was bitter. He looked at Zhou Wanqiu and asked, “Wanqiu, what's going on?”

“Dad!” Zhou Wanqiu said bitterly. “I really don't know! I also received news this morning that the Health Department has closed down all of our projects!” “Don't be anxious,” Zhou Rongchang said calmly. “It seems like someone is making a move on our group. This is just the first move.”

Zhou Pingjiang and Zhou Wanqiu looked at Zhou Rongchang with anticipation. Zhou Rongchang said calmly, “Our next step is finding out who is attacking us! Then, we can contact them and understand their demands. Everything is business!”

Zhou Pingjiang and Zhou Wanqiu were shocked.

The saying, “The elderly are a treasure to the family” felt true in this moment. Zhou Rongchang started from scratch and built Zhou Catering Group. He had experienced countless storms and many life-or-death crises.

In comparison, Zhou Pingjiang and Zhou Wanqiu were less experienced.

Zhou Rongchang slowly stood up. “Let's go! Let's go and welcome the Health

Department. Perhaps the answer we want is in their hands!”

Zhou Pingjiang and Zhou Wanqiu calmed down and followed the old man.

A group of uniformed health inspectors was walking in from the lobby.

The three middle-aged men in the lead seemed to be leaders.

The others were all ordinary staff.

“F*ck! It's actually the Health Department's deputy director, Tan Saicheng! A deputy is actually here. Is it that serious?”

“The other two are also leaders. One is the leader of Team 2, Wu Yihua, and the other is the leader of Team 3, Wang Linjian. Wu Yihua was also harsh. Wang Linjian is easier to talk to!”

“There are more than a dozen people from the Health Department. This situation is bad. Can our company survive this?”

The employees of the company discussed animatedly, feeling uneasy.

Zhou Pingjiang took the lead and extended his arm.

“Hello, Chief Tan! Hello, Team Leader Wu, and Team Leader Wang. I'm the chairman of Zhou Catering Group, Zhou Pingjiang.”

“May 1 ask what your instructions were?”

Faced with Zhou Pingjiang's warm welcome, Tan Saicheng did not extend his hand.

Wu Yihua and Wang Linjian, who were behind him, didn't dare to make a move. Zhou Pingjiang's heart thumped unevenly, but his expression remained calm. Tan Saicheng looked around coldly and said indifferently, “Zhou Catering Group looks brilliant on the outside, but is rotten on the inside! Everyone who was initially at their posts is abandoning their work to come and watch!” “If the management isn't good, the workers won't be either! Since the head office is like this, it's no wonder that there are so many problems in our health inspections of your branch companies and independent organizations!” Hearing this, everyone's hearts thumped unevenly!

He was obviously here to cause trouble!

Zhou Pingjiang smiled awkwardly and explained to Tan Saicheng, “Chief Tan, please forgive me. Our company was having a high-level meeting just now. We heard that you were coming, so we came out to welcome you.”

As he spoke, Zhou Pingjiang hurriedly waved at everyone.

Everyone quickly dispersed.

Only the three Zhou family members, Gao Huairen, Gao Min, and the other company executives were left.

“Chief Tan, are you here to inspect the venue? Let me show you around!” Zhou Pingjiang said politely.

Tan Saicheng smiled coldly. “There's no need to go through so much trouble! I just want to inform you that there are too many health violations in your company's projects. If you can't solve them within a day, I'll shut you down!” “All the businesses of the Zhou Catering Group will be closed down! I hope that you can rectify the issues quickly!”

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

They were determined to destroy the Zhou Catering Group!

At this moment, Zhou Rongchang spoke up. “Chief Tan, 1 would like to ask you something. If we were to rectify the issues, where should we start?”

Tan Saicheng raised his hand, and a staff member behind him handed him a stack of documents.

“The suggestions for the improvements have all been written inside! I hope that Zhou Catering Group will aim for high standards. Improve your environment and follow our strict requirements. Learn from your peer companies!” Tan Saicheng said.

“Let's go!”

With that, Tan Saicheng turned around and left.

Zhou Pingjiang wanted to ask them to stay for a meal, but they rejected him.

The two team leaders, Wu Yihua and Wang Linjian, didn't dare to talk to Zhou Pingjiang.

The people from the Health Department came and left quickly.

Everyone felt that a storm had rolled in!

The situation was obvious now!

Zhou Catering Group was facing a life-or-death crisis!

“Let's go! We'll continue this in the meeting room!”

After Zhou Pingjiang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Gao Huairen and Gao Min's expressions were sour, but they quickly followed.

They were the second biggest shareholders of Zhou Catering Group. When Zhou Catering Group became rich, their net worth increased too.

If Zhou Catering Group was destroyed, they would go bankrupt as well.

Although they were happy to see the Zhou family suffer, they didn't want to see Zhou Catering Group collapse.

It was the same for the other small shareholders.

Although they each had a small share, Zhou Catering Group was huge. A small share was already a lot of money.

With these shares, they could live comfortably on dividends every year.

The collapse of Zhou Catering Group would bankrupt them.

As for the middle and high-level leaders of the company, although they had fewer shares, they also had the risk of losing their jobs.

As soon as they entered the meeting room, everyone started chattering.

All of them were anxious.

The entire company was in a precarious situation.

Gao Huairen stood up and said angrily, “Chairman Zhou Pingjiang, CEO Zhou Wanqiu, the corporation has always been under your control. Now that such a huge crisis has surfaced, shouldn't the two of you give us an explanation?!” “Yes! Give us an explanation!”

“That's right! If we suffer losses, your family should compensate us!”

“My net worth depends on the company's shares. The Zhou family controls the company, so they have to be responsible for everything!”

All the shareholders also followed suit.

Chaos ensued in the meeting room.

Zhou Rongchang and the other two had gloomy expressions!

Even the shareholders who usually supported the Zhou family did not know what to say at this time.

Bang!

Zhou Rongchang slammed his palm on the table!

Everyone in the meeting room was shocked and quickly looked at Zhou Rongchang.

At this moment, Old A/Iaster Zhou's anger was burning as he swept his eyes across everyone in the meeting room!

His might was still there!

Zhou Rongchang's aura made everyone shut up.

Zhou Catering Group was painstakingly built by Zhou Rongchang.

His authority was enough to suppress everyone.

Zhou Rongchang said coldly, “Zhou Catering Group hasn't collapsed yet. What are you all doing? Are you in a hurry to jump off the ship now?”

No one dared to speak.

…..

“Former chairman, you have a big family and a big business. Of course, you don't have to care.” Gao Renhuai pursed his lips. “We are a small family, so we're more concerned than you are! Please tell us what you will do!”

The shareholders were tempted to keep questioning them again.

Zhou Rongchang looked around and said coldly, “Now, the most important thing is to find out why this is happening! Wait here. I'll go out and make a couple of calls.”

“Pingjiang, Wanqiu, come with me!”

With that, Zhou Rongchang walked out of the meeting room.

Zhou Pingjiang and his daughter quickly followed..

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much!
