Chapter 254: Arcs

Chapter 254: Arcs

"Yes sir, young master Lu." Gao Jinhai understands what Lu Chen wants to do, and he sends the voice recording over to Yao Shao.

"Alright, we are finished here. You don't need to do anything else." Lu Chen didn't say as he walked away. Before Lu Chen left, he gave Gao Jinhai a warning, "Forget about these meetings. Or...Never mind, I don't need to finish my sentence, do I?"

Lu Chen's smile made Gao Jinhai shiver. He quickly nods his head, and Lu Chen leaves him on his own.

...

'Finally, we are done!'Lu Chen stretched his arm as he left the school building. Sitting on a chair for nine hours made his body all sore. But behind all that soreness and tiredness, he felt bliss.

'Every day is such a good day now that he's gone.' Long Shen wasn't in school for the past two days. From what people said, the wounds he had were too much for him to power through. He was hospitalized for a few weeks, at the least.

But that wasn't all. As Lu Chen walked around the campus for the last two days, he could hear the students talking about Long Shen, scolding him harshly.

Some of the students even came up to Lu Chen to ask if he was ok. He was the victim, and Long Shen the culprit. The news about this incident had grown to at least half of the school knowing it.

'Good. Keep talking about it.' With more people talking about it, the more it will increase. And Long Shen couldn't do a thing about it as it spread. Lu Chen wants Long Shen's reputation to go down the drain.

Before Lu Chen could celebrate more, Elder Wu drove the car to the front gates. Getting in, Lu Chen told him, "Elder Wu, let's go to the company tomorrow."

With him finishing the gaokao, there isn't anything he has left to do. And Long Shen wasn't here for him to deal with. Now, there are other things he needs to do.

...

The company, Arcs, is in the biggest crisis in its creation.

"I still can't believe that fool would ruin our company's reputation like that!' Duan Huiling shakes her head. Regret and guilt fill her heart for what the company has become.

The company was doing well despite its popularity being low. The workers were hard working to make the company famous. And the singers were doing their best as well.

But that all changed when the CEO stepped down. Due to an illness, the CEO stepped down, and his son took over.

That's when the company started to change.

His son was nothing more than a joke. He didn't know how to run the company, and that was when the board members became wolves.

The members of the board took advantage of the new CEO's naivety. However, there wasn't much advantage to take. The new CEO nearly gave all power to them.

More people got fired due to the tyranny of the board members. Newer people that were hired were based on how much they like them.

This was how the company has become so broken.

And to solve it, the company was having this board meeting. But the number of people was less than a fourth of what they originally had.

Some of them had been arrested for theft and other stuff. While others just sold all of their stock and left the board.

Some of them weren't here because they were goofing off, not caring about the meeting.

"So when is our new boss coming, Duan Huiling?" One of the board members asks her in a joking manner.

"Please wait a while longer, Mr. Cao. The boss will be here any minute now." Despite Duan Huiling being professional, on the inside, she's cursing him out.

Cao Wei was one of the board members that's been in this company the longest. He was even there during the start of the company.

However, he was the main reason why the company was in shambles!

He indirectly leads the young CEO to his downfall. But because of this, he was the one in charge of the whole company.

Whatever he said, the others will listen to him. And whoever didn't, well, they had disappeared.
