Just arrived at the scene!
Chen Yu stood there stunned. Although she had imagined the scene to be terrible, reality was often worse than she had imagined. There were tens of thousands of people gathered at the headquarters of You Real Estate (a large portion of whom were just there to watch the excitement). The noise from these people was loud and chaotic.
A large number of security personnel could be seen maintaining order in the crowd, and two ambulances were parked nearby.
Downstairs on the ground.
There's a giant air cushion!
A dozen or so people upstairs were half-exposed outside the building, shouting that they would jump if they didn't pay back their down payment... She also saw a number of middle-aged men in jackets, and she knew that some leaders had also come.
Chen Yu: "Damn it? How did things get to this point? Don't these people have any judgment?... Do they think I can just run away with such a large business like this...?"
Can we run away?
able!
She had considered running away many times when she first started her business, but unexpectedly, the company grew big and she found a powerful backer, which made her give up the idea.
call...
She took a deep breath and got out of the car without hesitation. She had to step in to resolve this matter, otherwise things would escalate and become uncontrollable. After all, her phone had been ringing off the hook with calls from various departments during the short 20-minute journey, and the matter could no longer be easily suppressed.
at this time.
The director saw Chen Yu quickly push through the crowd and whisper, "Sister Yu! Why did you take so long... Something happened... Someone really jumped..."
What?
Chen Yu's expression changed slightly: "How could someone actually jump down? Didn't I tell you to calm things down at the scene?"
The supervisor said, "I didn't want this to happen either. I tried to calm her down... but an old lady got too agitated and lost her balance and fell... Luckily there was a cushion underneath, otherwise she would have been seriously injured..."
Chen Yu: "How is the old lady now...?"
Director: "He was taken to the hospital, he's not dead! But due to his age, he's suffered some injuries, including several fractures..."
Chen Yu: "Useless..."
She wanted to say something more.
Someone in the crowd recognized Chen Yu:
"President Chen is here..."
The crowd, which had been calmed down by the security personnel, erupted in a frenzy again, with countless people surging towards Chen Yu.
Chen Yu's expression changed slightly as he quickly ran to the security guards, who blocked the people who were crowding around.
A leader saw Chen Yu arrive and said:
"Why are you so late..."
Chen Yu: "I just received the news too..."
The leader knew Chen Yu was lying but didn't press the matter, saying, "I don't care about your situation. You have to find a way to calm the people down. Someone just jumped off a building! Do you know what this means? Tens of thousands gathered, and a dozen people threatened to jump. This has already alarmed the higher-ups... If something really happens, no one can cover it up, do you understand...?"
now.
How could Chen Yu not hear the threat in her words? It was clearly a warning that things had gotten out of hand and that even if she had powerful backers, she wouldn't be able to withstand it if things continued to escalate.
Chen Yu immediately went up to the platform, took the megaphone handed to him by the director, and shouted upstairs:
"Gentlemen! I am Chen Yu, the owner of You Real Estate! I'm here, I haven't run away..."
"Those rumors online are all nonsense, don't believe them. If there's anything, come down here and we'll resolve it..."
"Get down first..."
upstairs.
Yu Lin shouted, "I want my down payment back! Give me back my down payment and I'll leave."
Others echoed:
"Yes! We need the down payment..."
"Give me back my hard-earned money..."
...
Chen Yu: "I don't know where you heard these rumors. Holding the down payment with the real estate agency is a rule in Songjiang real estate. It's a guarantee we, as the agency, give to the homeowner. Otherwise, how could we represent both parties and protect their interests? Our You Real Estate has been in Songjiang for over ten years, with hundreds of stores, and we've always done this. When have we ever had any problems? People online are saying I ran away, but have I actually done that...?"
"Those are all rumors..."
"Running away? I'm abandoning hundreds of stores and thousands of employees? Am I crazy? Why would I run away and play around with a perfectly good life..."
It's something I should say but can't:
Chen Yu, who founded such a large real estate agency, has excellent oratory skills, which calmed many people down.
The elderly people upstairs were also tempted to come down after Chen Yu promised to process their applications quickly and efficiently.
At that very moment.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "What you're saying is useless. How can you guarantee that your company account still has money? We need to see your company account... If you really have money, we'll leave... Otherwise, return your down payment to us or put it in a bank for fund supervision."
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several leaders immediately looked toward the source of the voice, but unfortunately there were too many people to see who spoke. However, they knew that once those words were spoken, the atmosphere they had just tried to calm would be ruined.
As expected, Yu Lin and others, who had originally planned to come down, once again clamored that they must see the company's accounts or they would jump.
No matter what Chen Yu said, it was no use.
Less than half an hour later, in a fit of rage, Yu Linzhen jumped from the building. Although she was caught by an air cushion, the incident still caused a commotion, with many customers shouting and rushing towards the headquarters...
no way.
Chen Yu had no choice but to agree to show them the company account, and then asked the director to ask the finance department to Photoshop one.
Half an hour later.
The director brought back a photoshopped image of the company's account, and several staff members went up to look at the image.
The screen showed 200 million yuan, and many people breathed a sigh of relief, but someone else exclaimed again:
"Fake! This is photoshopped... Look closely, the image is blurry, and the spacing between some of the numbers is inconsistent..."
"If you have the ability, you can make her open the company account in public, or make a hands-free phone call to the bank on the spot to inquire."
.....
This has stirred up another hornet's nest: many people have also noticed that the discrepancies in the account numbers may indicate that the accounts are fake.
If there is one doubt, then doubt everything.
Furthermore, Chen Yu dared not open her bank account in public, nor did she dare to call the bank to inquire in public.
The situation is escalating!
Countless people rushed frantically toward the headquarters building, and the security forces could not stop them. They could only keep reporting to higher authorities and asking for help.
In the crowd.
Despite being pushed and shoved around by the enraged customer, Chen Yu was still in a sorry state, protected by security personnel and the director.
...
But there were others who were even more disheveled than her.
It was Wang Hui who was taken away for questioning overnight yesterday because one of his men got into a physical altercation with a client.
They weren't released until the morning.
Wang Hui: "What a mess! That Black Dragon is really ruthless. What's going on with that old woman Chen Yu? What's her backer doing? Are they just going to let Qin Jiang run rampant like this...?"
Thinking of this, he decided to call Chen Yu to ask.
But just as he took out his phone, two more security guards approached him and said, "Someone jumped from a building at your company this morning, resulting in injuries... Please come with us..."
Wang Hui: »ू(͒ˑ•᷄͡ꇵ͒•᷅͒)ू?!
"You guys...you guys coordinated really well!"
