Chapter 140 Appointing Bian Jiahui as Project Manager
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing immediately grabbed her clothes, hurriedly putting them on as she walked out, her tone filled with dissatisfaction as she questioned, "What's going on? Didn't I say that you're only allowed to stop them, not to lay a hand on them?"
At this moment, Ge Zeyu also got up and said he wanted to go down and take a look together.
I had no choice but to follow the two of them. When we got downstairs, I found that things had already turned into a mess, with the company's security guards fighting with the demonstrators.
"Call the police!" Ge Zeyu said decisively, throwing those two words at me before rushing into the crowd with Xu Qing to stop them.
The scene was too chaotic, and no one listened to what the two of them were saying, so the only option was to bring company employees to break up the fight.
The scene finally quieted down after the police arrived. Among the crowd were several seriously injured people, sitting on the ground with their heads covered in blood.
Although the security guards also sustained varying degrees of injuries, they were not as serious in comparison. Xu Qing and Ge Zeyu were both disheveled, with bruises on their faces, looking extremely disheveled.
After the police officers understood the situation, they immediately said they would take Xu Qing back for questioning, since he was the company's boss. The group of people who caused trouble kept saying that they were beaten by the security guards because of Xu Qing, their boss.
If Xu Qing is really taken away, the rumors outside will definitely be unpleasant. I was thinking of a solution when several reporters carrying cameras suddenly appeared out of the crowd.
The group took a series of photos of Xu Qing, who had been arrested by the police, and then turned their cameras to Ge Zeyu.
The appearance of this group of reporters was too coincidental. If the photos were to be leaked, who knows how they would smear him? I quickly grabbed Ge Zeyu's sleeve and whispered a reminder.
"We can't let Xu Qing go back with the police officers. With these reporters around, it's hard to say how they'll report on this."
Ge Zeyu gave me a reassuring look, then stepped forward to negotiate, “Mr. Xu and I are the victims. Although these security guards are all under his name, Mr. Xu had instructed them beforehand to only stop the troublemakers and not let them take action. This is a private conflict between them.”
As soon as Ge Zeyu finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted, "He calls himself a big boss, but he doesn't even protect his own people. I feel no sense of security working for someone like him."
Ge Zeyu's eyes instantly turned cold, and he immediately turned his gaze to the people in the crowd who were making a fuss.
I followed his gaze and saw that the one who started the commotion was one of the security guards who had just started the fight. It seemed that the conflict had been premeditated.
Seeing that some people were looking at each other and others were dissatisfied, he spoke up decisively, "Mr. Xu is not irresponsible or unprotective of his own people in the conflict that happened today. It's just that no one listened to his orders. But since things have already come to this, Mr. Xu might as well give both sides some compensation and make a small matter a small one."
After Xu Qing met my gaze, he quickly nodded, indicating that he would send all the injured people to the hospital, and would cover all medical expenses, lost wages, and nutritional expenses.
Upon hearing this, the company's security guards immediately quieted down, no longer displaying the same level of resentment they had initially shown. However, the most seriously injured individuals who had come to cause trouble disagreed with the proposed compensation.
Their only demand was that Xu Qing sell the land in the eastern part of the city to the Fu family; otherwise, they would continue to escalate the matter and take Xu Qing to court.
Xu Qing's face turned ugly. This was tantamount to holding a knife to his throat. If he agreed to this today, anyone could use this method to make him compromise in the future.
If he doesn't agree to these conditions, he will definitely be taken away by the police today, with reporters watching closely. It's hard to say how the reports will turn out.
Ge Zeyu whispered a few words to Xu Qing, and then Xu Qing's expression changed. She said with distress, "I will definitely think about the land sale when I get back, but this land is not just mine. I also have a partner, so please give me some time to persuade him."
The injured person hesitated for a moment before agreeing to the proposal, but insisted on not reducing the compensation by a single penny. Xu Qing had some savings, and even though the compensation exceeded the normal range, he still agreed.
With the matter resolved, the reporters around him showed a hint of disappointment, but they still surrounded Xu Qing, asking him when he would be able to make a decision and who his partner was.
Xu Qing had his company people stop him, and then he went back upstairs with me and Ge Zeyu. After we got back, he found his secretary and asked her to find a way to dismiss the security guards who had been making a fuss in the crowd, and to handle the compensation through the normal procedures.
"The Fu family is simply going too far!" Xu Qing gritted his teeth, his eyes growing increasingly cold. "If it weren't for the fact that my Xu family wanted to clear our name, we would have already taken down the Fu family!"
Ge Zeyu asked him what his plans were next. These people hadn't achieved their goal today, and what they said earlier was just a delaying tactic that wouldn't last long.
If they don't want to be pressured by these people, either the Fu family will withdraw the benefits they offered, or Xu Qing will offer even more benefits.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing sneered, and as he turned his head, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. "The Fu family can spread rumors, and so can I. As long as I have people spread the word that the land to be developed is in the city, not in the west, do you think these people in the wheat fields will still cause such a fuss?"
"Compared to the blueprint provided by the Fu family, this rumor I spread allows for more room for imagination, doesn't it?"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Ge Zeyu.
Hearing his words, I couldn't help but feel a jolt in my heart. His relationship with Ge Zeyu, which had been a friendship for over ten years, had not been exposed, but the two had recently appeared together on many occasions.
Those who are observant are probably already guessing that the two have reached an agreement to cooperate.
After all, the biggest problem for the Xu family after they moved their business to the mainland was that they didn't have a big tree to lean on for shade, and the Ge family was that big tree.
At this point, Xu Qing's intentional or unintentional release of information would only increase credibility. Suspicious people might guess that he got his information from the Ge family. As long as no substantial evidence is produced and the person spreading the rumors is found out, the Ge family will not be implicated.
At that time, those who caused trouble will not only fail to sell their land, but will also turn against the Fu family. It has to be said that those who do business are all ruthless and greedy.
Just then, Ge Zeyu received a phone call, and I vaguely heard words like "shareholders' meeting".
After hanging up the phone, Ge Zeyu suddenly stood up, grabbed my wrist and pulled me outside, saying, "Your dad convened a shareholders' meeting, intending to make Bian Jiahui the project manager."
