Special Expert of Beauty CEO

Chapter 592: Chapter 594: The Crisis of Murong Group

”Stop pretending to be all concerned, just fuck off!”

Du Mingwei roared at Qin Tian and then clumsily picked himself up from the ground, his gaze seething with vengeful fury as he looked at Qin Tian, ”Qin Tian, you just wait!”

After finishing his words, Du Mingwei dusted off the alcohol from his clothes and wiped his damp cheeks before dejectedly heading straight to the bathroom.

”So, President Murong, do I make a good Flower Protector or what?”

Once Du Mingwei had left, Qin Tian approached Murong Fei with a big grin, clinking glasses with her.

Murong Fei gave a faint smile, unrivaled in beauty.

”I’ve finally figured out how you pick up girls, heh, by playing the role of a Flower Protector to get close to a girl, to gain her trust and then make your move when the opportunity arises.”

”This...”

Qin Tian was at a loss for words as Murong Fei deduced this point from his act of being a Flower Protector. ”President Murong, I did help you out, don’t bring me down like that, okay?”

”Thank you!”

Murong Fei thanked him with another faint smile, but then her face showed a bit of worry, ”Qin Tian, this Du Mingwei is a young master of the Du Family in Beijing. You’ve offended him, and he will most likely seek revenge. Be careful.”

”I’m not afraid. Dealing with this kind of person, I only need one toe.”

”It’s not him you should be worried about, but his henchmen. He has many bodyguards and friends in the underworld, and this is Beijing, where you don’t have any connections or network... Qin Tian, it’s better to be cautious. How about heading back to Zhonghai City in a couple of days to lay low? Du Mingwei, he’s only a local thug in Beijing; outside of it, he’s nothing.”

”On the contrary, it’s perfect for me, Qin Tian; I’m the mighty dragon here to suppress this local serpent.”

Qin Tian chuckled at Murong Fei and, recalling Du Mingwei’s words, asked, ”By the way, President Murong, do you have any business with Beijing TV Station?”

On hearing this, Murong Fei seemed to have her own reservations, hesitating before shaking her head and sighing, ”Well, it’s about our Murong Group’s home electronics company. I heard Beijing TV Station is producing a life drama, and since it’s their own production, it’s bound to be broadcast on their channel. So I wanted Murong Group to be a main investor and cooperate with Beijing TV Station to shoot this drama, incorporating our company’s sponsorship and advertisements... ”

”But at the moment, there are more than ten companies negotiating with Beijing TV Station. We, being an out-of-town enterprise from Zhonghai City, are most likely not going to make it, facing exclusion... And now, with Du Mingwei offended, Murong Group will definitely be eliminated.”

Murong Fei sounded disappointed, and she sipped her drink as she spoke, her cheeks flushed, and a touch of melancholy flickered through her beautiful eyes.

Only a few months had passed, and the once vibrant and radiant Murong Fei had become somewhat fragile, which made Qin Tian feel a twinge of pain.

”President Murong, what’s happened to Murong Group? Could it really be because Qin Real Estate pushed Murong Group down the ladder?” Qin Tian asked curiously.

Murong Fei heard this and shook her head, ”I’m deceiving you... Of course there’s a reason, but it’s not just the newly emerged company like Qin Real Estate; there are many others. The real reason is that besides the shrinking real estate industry, the Murong Group’s other businesses are also suffering, especially since there was a corruption scandal recently at Murong Group’s headquarters. The police arrested a dozen of my senior executives, which severely tarnished the reputation of Murong Group in Zhonghai City.”

”Moreover, our construction company encountered two fatal accidents in one month, leading to tremendous financial and reputational damages... so now, both the real estate and construction sectors are virtually impossible for Murong Group to continue in Zhonghai City... I had no choice but to shift my focus to Beijing,”

As she spoke, Murong Fei sometimes wore a sorrowful expression. Over the past few months, the Murong Group had faced too many issues for her to handle.

Most troubling of all, each of these incidents had profoundly negative impacts on the Murong Group, leaving its reputation in Zhonghai City utterly tarnished.

Hence, Murong Fei had no alternative but to temporarily abandon her primary business in Zhonghai City and seek new opportunities for the Murong Group’s development in Beijing, focusing primarily on the home appliances industry which Murong Group was prepared to support fully.

”This year Murong Group will definitely suffer a loss, but the extent is unknown... It might be three billion, or perhaps five billion; I can’t even estimate... It’s the biggest loss since the establishment of the Murong Group, a severe crisis. Even my grandfather couldn’t sit still, and that’s why he agreed to my relocation to Beijing. Previously, he never permitted me to stay long in Beijing due to concerns for my safety. But now, there’s no choice, without taking measures, if we let this trend continue, the snowball effect will grow, and the Murong Group will go bankrupt!”

Tears welled up in Murong Fei’s eyes as she reached the most heartbreaking part of her tale.

This strong and resolute female CEO rarely showed her vulnerable side in front of Qin Tian.

But now, she simply couldn’t control her emotions.

”Why didn’t you tell me about it?”

After listening to Murong Fei, Qin Tian also felt a sense of loss, ”How could I have been unaware of these issues with your company?”

”You went to Southeast Asia for a while, and when you returned, it seemed you were not in Zhonghai City...”

”Even if I’m not there, you could still call me, right? Murong Fei, did you just not want to tell me?”

At his words, Murong Fei was startled and fell silent, bowing her head slightly, and pursing her lips.

After a few seconds of silence, Murong Fei finally looked up at Qin Tian and said, ”After all, this concerns Murong Group, I... I felt there was no need to tell you.”

”You’re being foolish,” Qin Tian retorted, his frustration apparent as he looked at Murong Fei, their eyes meeting. He said earnestly, ”Murong Fei, listen carefully, what concerns Murong Group, what concerns the Murong Family, that’s my business too! Now and in the future, always!”

”Qin Tian...”

Struck by the unwavering tone in Qin Tian’s voice and the sincerity on his face, Murong Fei was visibly moved, her eyes shimmering with tears.

”Qin Tian, there’s no need for you to worry, I’ll handle it. I will take care of this matter,” Murong Fei lowered her head again, saying, ”Now that I’ve come to Beijing, I’ve thought it through. I will certainly stand my ground here.”

After speaking, she downed a glass of red wine, her cheeks flushed, revealing a drunken beauty that made her already stunning face even more alluring.

Feeling a surge of compassion, Qin Tian took Murong Fei’s hand in his. Murong Fei was taken aback and tried to withdraw her hand, but Qin Tian did not let go. Holding her hand tightly, he said:

”Murong Fei, listen carefully, if you want the market in Zhonghai City, I can give it up for you! If you want the market in Beijing, I will fight by your side! Whatever happens, I will always be there for you!”
