His father-in-law’s courage was indeed extraordinary.
Only a man seated on a throne could utter such words.
After Gu Nuan left, the eting room once again fell into an unbearable silence.
Xiao Jianming said, "Let’s adjourn the eting."
The directors left their seats in succession.
When Chen Jiaming reached the door, he suddenly heard soone call out from behind him, "Director Chen."
He turned around and addressed a man around sixty, his hair already patchy: "Director Kang."
Kang Junjia, one of the executive directors of Changda, was sixty-two this year. Being half bald was his defining feature.
As for his other identity, it was not sothing regular Changda employees could know.
Xiao Shulan, the second daughter of the Xiao Family, was Kang Junjia’s daughter-in-law. This ant Kang Baojun, Kang Junjia’s eldest son, was Xiao Jianming’s son-in-law.
Chen Jiaming was aware of this special relationship between the Kang Family and the Xiao Family.
Who didn’t know that the entanglents within wealthy families were intricate and ssy?
Just like what Dream of the Red Chamber depicted, several major families intertwined closely like roots, related by marriage, suffering together, and flourishing together.
The latter might be debatable, but the forr was certainly true.
The two n then stepped aside from others and moved to a corner of the floor.
Kang Junjia put an arm around Chen Jiaming’s shoulder, "My son has been admitted to the hospital, did you know?"
"Are you referring to Minister Kang?"
Kang Baojun held a nominal position in Changda. Though titled as a minister, he was not leading any significant departnt in Changda.
Chen Jiaming furrowed his brows with concern, "Minister Kang’s back issues seem to be a recurring problem."
"Yes, that ti, sohow, he was driving and got involved in a staged accident. Since then, his back has never been the sa. Last night, the pain was so severe that he had to stay in the hospital. My daughter-in-law rushed to see him."
"In that case, I might visit Minister Kang in the hospital later," Chen Jiaming pondered aloud.
"That won’t be necessary," Kang Junjia said. "I just wanted to inform you about the situation. Look, with such a serious issue having occurred within the company, who can clearly say what’s really going on, right?"
Chen Jiaming understood the implication of his words; if anyone asked about Kang Baojun, his hospitalization could easily clear him of any suspicion of involvent in the cri.
This showed that following Gu Nuan’s testimony, people were suspecting an inside job.
But how could the suspicion have fallen on Kang Baojun?
Chen Jiaming narrowed his eyes.
Those unaware didn’t know who initially green-lit the Mingyue project.
Guaranteed even Gu Nuan didn’t know.
The saying "a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers" couldn’t be more true.
Although the Mingyue project might not seem like a pivotal venture, Mingyue Plaza was personally approved by the big boss, Xiao Jianming.
This also explained why despite the villagers’ fierce disputes, the project still aggressively moved forward, delegating the tough negotiations to the most capable team.
It certainly wasn’t in Xiao Jianming’s interests to contradict himself!
Yet, now it appeared that soone wanted Xiao Jianming to contradict himself.
The root cause of it was an insider secret only known to the Xiao Family. Luckily, due to his close relation to people like Kang Junjia, Chen Jiaming had heard a bit about it.
The reason Xiao Jianming unusually intervened in the Mingyue project was because this plot of land was initially ant for his only beloved son, Xiao Yebai, to try investing in real estate, a location found by Xiao Yebai himself.
