Shengdu, Upper District, Hope Water Co., Ltd. headquarters.

Leonard slumped on the chair like falling into an ice cave.

"what happened?"

He looked at the reports and alerts on the screen, sweating profusely: "What the **** is going on!"

Just outside the desk, several leaders and experts who were urgently summoned were equally pale and looked at each other, wondering whether they should speak.

Seeing that they were still shirking their responsibilities, Leonard couldn't help but be furious, pulled up the ornaments on the table and smashed them, roaring, "Speak, mute!"

Bang!

The person in charge of the low-level area was smashed into a somersault, his head was bleeding, and his eyes were black, but he didn't dare to scream, he got up from the ground in a hurry, and even hugged the ornament tightly, for fear that it would be smashed.

So cautiously, he put it back on the table, took two steps back, didn't dare to sit down again, just stood beside him bent over.

"...this thing...this..."

Another person in charge took courage: "Actually, it has nothing to do with our company, we are also..."

Bang!

The cracked crystal ornament was smashed by a paperweight, and Leonard roared: "Of course I **** know we are victims too! But anyone else? Does anyone else believe it! Will the people above believe it!

You have to figure it out, if we don't handle it properly, we will be finished! Done! "

Not in case...

In the dead silence, no one spoke, just swallowed dryly.

They are finished.

Just on the screen, the red alarm was still flashing constantly, reminding them that the disaster was coming.

In just one night, most of the water supply systems of the Holy City, from some upper areas, to middle areas, and then to lower areas, all set off alarms.

Unknown contamination.

Some kind of bacteria that has never been seen before appeared in their purification plant. After passing through dozens of layers of protection, it spread to the whole process along countless pipes...

The whole process of the alarm went unheard.

Except for the necessary left-behind personnel, yesterday, most of the people... were on vacation.

The left-behind people were so drunk that they were still sleeping soundly until now. By the time the employees who went to work early in the morning to earn performance found out, the entire water supply system had been covered by unknown pollution.

Just four hours ago.

Now, I'm afraid it's all over the city...

Even though part of the supply was temporarily stopped in the name of maintenance, the management of Hope Water was still helpless to deal with such a huge accident.

Done.

It's all **** up.

In the dead silence, Leonard didn't know what to think, and swallowed in horror.

"No, no."

He suddenly jumped up from the chair and blurted out the thoughts in his heart: "This matter must be suppressed—"

After a brief stagnation, even he himself was taken aback by the thought. But soon, he realized that he had no other choice.

"This...impossible..." The person in charge was sluggish, "This is, this is... It's crazy."

"crazy?"

Leonard sneered: "Do you know what madness is? When our company's stock price, along with Hope Energy's stock price, falls to the limit, you will know what madness is..."

When looking back, Leonard's eyes were already bleeding.

make a decision.

Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, press down!

Otherwise, not only the stock price of the company, but also myself will definitely be thrown out as a scapegoat. The career and status that I have fought for my whole life will disappear, my wife and lovers will leave me, and even my children will become a stinky beggar. of…

And the vacated seat on the board of directors of the general group, never think about it again.

Since it is a step forward, it is hell.

Why not turn a corner?

Even if it looks extremely rational and normal, in the dead silent office, no one speaks anymore, and everyone is aware of the madness surging in the man's chest.

"Fucking germs, f*cking pollution, f*cking lawyers... It's all to blame for that shit, who the **** let the scumbag take a vacation, and who the **** made that group of **** negligent in their duties!"

Completely forgetting that on the day when the lawyer was hanged, he gladly responded to the company's call, and it was himself who gave all the employees a day off. Leonard had only one thought in his mind.

How, as soon as possible, safely, get yourself out of this matter.

Then, smother the thing under the lid.

"First temporarily stop some water supply, what about the backup system? Is the backup system still there? Priority is given to supplying the upper area, and then we will gradually carry out internal solutions - form an expert team, no, prepare public relations first... Forget it, that's not in a hurry, first of all Ensure stability first..."

Leonard paced back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back, mumbling something upside down, but suddenly he turned his head abruptly and looked at the expert in the corner.

"That thing, that... polluted thing, after drinking it, will there be a problem?"

"Uh, this is still under investigation, I'm afraid in a short time..."

The expert answered subconsciously, but then, aware of the light in Leonard's scarlet eyes, he answered categorically:

"no!"

Yes, no, must not!

Certainly not!

Moreover, according to the current test data, it is only a strain that acts on the stomach and may cause dysbiosis of the digestive system.

There will be no problem.

Must also... must not be a problem!

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire office, including the expert himself, breathed a sigh of relief. When everyone exchanged glances with each other, they had already reached some kind of unspeakable consensus.

"Okay, then there shouldn't be much of a problem."

Leonard suddenly smiled, comforting everyone, and finally, as if inadvertently mentioned: "Now, besides us, who else knows about this matter?

"…"

In the silence, the expert suddenly began to pity the employee and project team who came to work early.

From tomorrow onwards, I am afraid I will never see them again...

But what does this have to do with him?

After doing research all my life, I finally got a job as a consultant by relying on my fellow students, and I still haven't paid off my mortgage and student loans.

How can I have the right to pity others?

When he walked out of the office, he realized that he was already sweating,

The whole person seems to be collapsing.

When I stood outside the window, I saw the bright sunlight falling on the holy city.

On this warm morning, on the streets, the crowd was surging, with hope and anticipation on every face, rushing towards the future in full swing.

In the silence, the expert couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment.

From the illusory reflection of the glass, I saw the world shrouded in scarlet.

As if a flame was burning.

in the dark.

An hour later, on the emergency board of Homestead Agriculture, everyone received this sudden bad news.

Since most of the cash crop planting areas on the half-mountain outside the city were destroyed by mudslides, I haven't had time to relax for a few days, and once again I feel a chill in my heart.

A knife suddenly came in.

After seeing reports of the state of the site and the estimated damage, the conference room was instantly fried.

"What, what's going on?"

"Isn't it fine yesterday?"

"It's not like all the agricultural crops will be destroyed!"

"What's the reason? Has the reason been investigated clearly?"

"Unknown infectious diseases alone are enough of a headache."

"What's the use of investigating the cause now! Don't you think of a way to stop the loss as soon as possible? What about the order? The order from NORINCO will be delivered next month. Do you have any amount in your mind?"

"Our production department hasn't said anything yet? Can your sales department lean back a little bit?"

"I said first, our department will never bear this part of the loss!"

"Enough! Stop arguing!"

The chairman hammered the table and roared, and suddenly felt the same grief and anger that he had restrained not long ago, and glared at the guys who were arguing: "Can't a bunch of **** be united by now?!"

"In the final analysis, what happened when I suddenly encountered such a thing?!" Someone asked blankly, "Could it be that the **** of the Spring Trees did it?"

"I've said it before, we must suppress sanctions, don't let them show up, and as a result, you have to raise tigers..."

"Didn't you agree at the time?! The minutes of the meeting are there, don't you want to clear yourself up?"

"I didn't nod, I just didn't speak."

In just a few short sentences, the others started to quarrel again.

"I said, enough!!"

The chairman, roared again, "Is this the time to blame each other? I'm going to say that before, money, we all earn together, trouble, we have to carry it together, no one **** wants to get away. Who dares to talk about it today has nothing to do with it. I'll make him look good!"

Under the intimidation and anger, the restless atmosphere turned a little more serious, and everyone suppressed their thoughts for the time being. At least, it seemed to be suppressed on the surface... As for what they were thinking in their hearts, no one knew.

Just looking at those who secretly exchanged glances, the chairman couldn't help but want to sneer, and he wanted to knock himself down so quickly?

It's not that easy!

"Think for the better—"

The chairman gritted his teeth, and UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com squeezed out a voice between his teeth: "This matter is not necessarily good news."

"What the hell?"

"Where is the benefit? Why can't I see it?"

For a time, the voice of doubt sounded again, everyone thought he was crazy, only the chairman was still calm, looking at everyone: "As of now, this quarter's production reduction has become a foregone conclusion. In the future, A sharp drop in share prices is certainly unavoidable.

If someone wants to sell their shares, I won't stop them, but until tomorrow, the entire Holy City will probably know that there will be a problem with the food supply this season, and you may not be able to cut meat so well. "

He paused for a while, and did not hide his cruel expression: "But, don't forget - where is the largest food reserve in the entire Holy City."
