Chapter 125 The shocking scandal of Changqing Group!
"Wow, our Su Hao has become so capable now? He can sit on equal footing with those big bosses and give them pointers?"
My father sighed with pride, his face beaming with joy.
"Of course!" Mom chimed in, her voice brimming with pride.
"Look at this, the company has provided them with a luxury car and even hired a driver. I heard their salaries and bonuses are incredibly high!"
Otherwise, how could he sit in a meeting with bigwigs like those from the Jiangjin Group and have them all listen to him?
"Yes, yes, yes!" Su Hui nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.
"Our CEO Qin is a powerful woman in Jiangjin Group. She usually thinks she's all that, but she was completely humiliated in front of my brother the other day! Hehe!"
After being showered with such enthusiastic praise from his family, Su Hao felt like he was on a roller coaster, feeling both elated and a little embarrassed.
But I have to say, this feeling... is fucking awesome!
The feeling of being recognized and admired by family members is so blissful and heartwarming.
"Oh, right, brother, this is for you." Su Hui seemed to remember something, picked up a delicate shopping bag from the sofa, and handed it over.
Su Hao asked, "What is this?"
"Oh, Jiangjin Group has invested in a mobile phone manufacturer called Wo Wei. This is a newly developed phone called the Note 7 model!"
I heard that before it was officially released, the company held an internal lottery as a benefit for us employees, and I was lucky enough to win!
I was thinking I just got a new phone not long ago, the one you bought me last time.
So you can use this new one, bro. You really need to get that crappy phone replaced.
Su Hao doesn't usually play mobile games and doesn't have high requirements for phone performance, so his old phone is still working fine.
However, after hearing what my sister said, and looking at it more closely now:
His old friend, which he had used for several years, had several glorious scratches on the screen and some bumps on the corners. It was indeed time for it to retire honorably.
"Can I open it up and take a look?"
"Of course, look all you want! Bro, take it all apart!"
It's said to be the new high-end Note 7 from the Wo Wei mobile phone factory. Although it hasn't officially gone on sale yet, the advertisements are everywhere. It's said to have explosive performance and be full of cutting-edge technology.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Su Hui looked at him expectantly.
Su Hao held the Note 7 in his hand and weighed it in his hand. It was indeed much lighter and thinner than his old phone, and the design was more stylish and full of technological sense.
Especially the screen, with its vibrant colors and delicate, clear image.
He tried swiping the screen; the touch was silky smooth and the feedback was excellent…
Just as he was preparing to experience it further—
Sizzle—!
A blinding spark suddenly erupted from where the phone screen touched his fingertip!
The blue-white arc of electricity even illuminated his astonished face!
Holy crap!
Su Hao felt a sharp, tingling pain and numbness in his fingertips, as if he had been kissed hard by a high-voltage electric shock!
He was so startled that his hand trembled, and his whole body jolted, causing the phone to fly out of his hand with a "whoosh".
The phone traced a graceful parabola through the air, first hitting the hard corner of the coffee table with a "thud," and then crashing heavily onto the polished marble floor with a "thud."
The screen shattered instantly, turning into a fine spider web.
The fuselage also had several more jagged cracks, and it was clear that it was beyond saving.
A brand-new flagship Note 7, before it even made its debut, has already gloriously sacrificed itself, its soul returning to Huaqiangbei.
"..."
Su Hao and Su Hui stared at each other, creating an awkward atmosphere.
"Brother... even if you don't like it, you don't have to just smash it..."
Su Hui's lips twitched, her face filled with disbelief and heartache.
"Sorry, I'm sorry," Su Hao rubbed his still numb fingertips, looking completely bewildered. "I didn't mean to... it was purely an accident."
What the hell was that?
Static electricity?
But why are there still sparks?
How eerie!
"It's alright," Su Hui quickly recovered, waving her hand and reassuring Su Hao instead.
"Anyway, it's free, so I don't feel bad about it. But... it's a bit of a pity, the Note 7 is said to have a very good reputation, with both a great feel and a great look."
"If you like it, I'll buy you a new one later?" Su Hao felt a little guilty.
"No need, I just changed my phone a short time ago, why waste the money?" Su Hui shook her head.
Su Hao bent down and carefully tried to pick up the wreckage of the "heroically sacrificed" Note 7.
The moment his fingertips touched the cold metal frame of the phone, another sharp pain shot through him!
Su Hao hissed and gasped, quickly pulling his hand back and shaking his numb fingers. His eyes were filled with surprise and confusion as he looked at the broken phone.
"What the hell is this damn phone?"
Why did he feel such a strong sense of threat from a mobile phone?

[ Shocking scandal at Changqing Group!]
Director Shen Zekai has approved the proposed sale of 43 strategic ports to the US-based consortium BlackRock for 22.8 billion yuan!
This move, affecting several strategically vital locations at the heart of international trade, is seen as seriously jeopardizing national logistics and economic security!
The bold red text of the news headline was like detonating a nuclear bomb, creating an unprecedented and massive wave throughout the business world and even the entire country!
The news caused a nationwide uproar!
Major media outlets published strongly worded commentaries, directly accusing him of "being blinded by greed and disregarding national strategic security!"
Although official media did not directly name names, they published a series of editorials, condemning certain companies for being "profit-driven, lacking a sense of national responsibility, and wavering in the face of national interests," and emphasizing that "the development of any enterprise cannot be separated from the support of the country, and at critical moments it should share the same breath and destiny with the country!"
The criticism is directed at Changqing Group.
Public anger was completely ignited, and Changqing Group's stock price plummeted, causing investor confidence to collapse instantly.
Its businesses have faced an unprecedented and comprehensive boycott, with partners seeking to distance themselves and banks beginning to significantly downgrade its credit risk.
Just as Jiangjin Group made its swift entry into the market, Changqing Group's deal, which could shake the very foundations of the nation, was exposed, immediately igniting public opinion.
Whether Jiangjin Group secretly planted a dagger pointing at "treason" in the back, or whether Shen Zekai was blinded by greed and dug his own grave, no one has investigated further.
The undeniable fact is that the authorities have set the tone this time, determined to thoroughly condemn this "commercial traitor" to the pillory of shame!
This time, Changqing Group has completely lost its moral standing and the support of the people!
As a result, Changqing Group, which had been stubbornly resisting all along, completely lost its will to resist in the face of overwhelming public condemnation and market panic.
The iconic building that once symbolized the glory of Changqing Group —'Evergreen Heaven Seal' —ultimately signed a "sell-out contract" under the desperate situation of internal and external troubles and broken capital chain, falling into the hands of the covetous Fang Huan Investment like a sacrificed flesh to feed a tiger.
