Chapter 1013: 24-Hour Promise

However, at this moment, Sister Zhang’s mention of this matter carried a somewhat threatening warning tone.

Shen Kang listened, feeling very displeased and wanted to interject, but was stopped by Lu Jihan raising his hand.

Sister Zhang gave Shen Kang a glare, and continued on her own:

"Moreover, Ning Wan is their precious daughter. If anything happens to her, if you upset the parents, your Mainland Group will definitely suffer losses, like a drop in stock prices."

The faces of the executives in the conference room all fell.

Sister Zhang continued, "What’s even worse is that there’s now a very outrageous claim circulating online, saying that our company deliberately caused this accident. The purpose was to scam the audience out of their ticket money, saying we were just trying to make money. This is a complete smear on Ning Wan’s image!"

"To be frank, Ning Wan is a musical artist we’ve been promoting heavily over the past two years. Such rumors will inevitably have extremely adverse effects on Ning Wan’s future career!"

"President Lu, when our company initially signed a contract with the Mainland Group, you did not say this, and we gave full trust to the Mainland Group. But now, I am very disappointed with your company, extremely disappointed!"

At this point, Sister Zhang angrily stood up, with both hands flat on the conference table, tapping the surface forcefully with her fingers.

The atmosphere in the conference room became extremely oppressive.

After a few seconds, Lu Jihan spoke loudly:

"Give me 24 hours! Within 24 hours, that is, by tomorrow night, I will definitely find the person directly responsible for the accident and provide everyone with an explanation."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

Especially Shen Kang, who looked at Lu Jihan in surprise, wanting to speak but hesitated.

Given the current situation, how could it be possible to find the person directly responsible for the accident within twenty-four hours?

Shen Kang wanted to say something, but seeing Lu Jihan’s firm stance and Sister Zhang’s aggressive demeanor, he swallowed his words.

Sister Zhang, with a skeptical attitude, raised her eyebrows and asked, "24 hours? President Lu, can you guarantee that you will find the person directly responsible within 24 hours?"

"Yes, I guarantee it."

Sister Zhang stood up forcefully, scanned the conference room coldly, and snorted, "Fine, I will trust President Lu one more time!"

After finishing, she turned and left.

Once Sister Zhang left, the conference room fell into stifling silence once again.

Lu Jihan’s sharp gaze swept across all the people in the conference room and asked, "Did you all hear the conversation between me and Agent Zhang just now?"

"...Yes, heard it."

"Then why are we not taking action urgently, you must resolve this matter within 24 hours!"

"Yes!"

No one dared to say any words of objection, and the executives gradually rose and left the conference room, except for Shen Kang who stayed behind.

He furrowed his brows and suggested, "President Lu, shouldn’t we push someone forward, at least to calm the matter down?"

"No!"

Lu Jihan immediately rejected the idea.

"But, this is also a strategy for the company to overcome the crisis, a necessary measure, yet an effective solution, we..."

"Absolutely not!"

Lu Jihan angrily rebuked, "This matter is a test for our Mainland Group, and also a test of our company’s employees’ cohesion. Randomly finding someone to make excuses is an irresponsible behavior towards the company’s employees, definitely unacceptable! Moreover—"

With a focused gaze, Lu Jihan said: "I suspect this matter is related to that internal traitor."

Shen Kang was taken aback: "President Lu, are you saying..."
