Chapter 1330: Chapter 1330: If She Didn’t Do Anything Heinous, Why Did the Police Come for Her?

The commotion was so big that it naturally alarmed the other people in the Shen Family courtyard.

The Eldest Shen came out and saw his wife being taken away by the police; he couldn’t care about anything else and ran after them at a trot.

A few days ago, Shen Ningbao of the Shen Family’s eldest branch had arranged a fight with someone, hurt his leg, and now was limping so badly he couldn’t keep up. He could only ask the people around him, "Aunt Tian, what’s going on, why did the police take my mom away?"

Everyone around here knew that Shen Ningbao of the Shen Family’s eldest branch was a little thug. No one thought much of him, but Aunt Tian wasn’t the type to kick someone when they were down. "I don’t know the specifics either. They only said it was related to a child trafficking case."

Shen Ningbao burst out swearing on the spot. "That’s fucking bullshit, how could my mom do something so heartless? It’s definitely a frame-up."

Everyone looked at him like he was an idiot, thinking: if she hadn’t done something heartless, why would the police come for her?

While everyone was still talking, Ye Liyan and the other two had already reached the house that belonged to the third branch.

As Shen Ningchuan walked, he touched everything his hand could reach, his eyes full of bitterness.

He Jinxuan and Ye Liyan didn’t go inside. They stood quietly at the doorway, watching him.

Shen Ningchuan stayed inside for over an hour before he finally came out with red eyes. "Let’s go."

To avoid the people at the main gate, the three of them didn’t leave through the front, but went out through the side door and circled around to where the car was parked.

By the time the engine started and the people waiting outside ran over, the car was already gone.

After a long silence, Shen Ningchuan finally spoke. "Liyan, thank you."

The house had been taken good care of. At a glance you could tell someone came regularly to clean it.

He Jinxuan dropped them off at the Ye Family, then headed to the company.

As soon as he entered, he called the department heads together for a meeting.

Once everyone was seated, he first looked at Qian Wangcheng, who was sitting just below him. This man had been his classmate in junior high, quick-witted, and they’d always gotten along well.

On top of that, after He Jinxuan returned to the Capital, he had helped Qian Wangcheng, and the two of them kept in closer and closer touch. Later, when Qian Wangcheng was being suppressed at his unit, He Jinxuan recruited him over. He was now Jinxuan’s most valuable subordinate.

When He Jinxuan wasn’t around, company affairs were all handled by Qian Wangcheng as acting head.

Seeing He Jinxuan looking at him, Qian Wangcheng said, "Manager Wang from the restaurant took leave today, so I’ll report on the situation over there. There’s already a verdict on Lian Haifeng’s case—one year and six months. Before that, his parents went to the restaurant wanting a private settlement. Wang Changhui refused, and turned them down by insisting on the law over sentiment. But out of consideration for their feelings, he waived the compensation for the dishes that Lian Haifeng drugged and ruined that day.

"Wang Changhui really is very capable. The restaurant has already gotten on track, and after we did the promotion according to the marketing plan you gave before, business has been packed to the rafters every single day. This morning, Wang Changhui called and said reservations have already been booked out several days in advance."

Hearing this, He Jinxuan suddenly thought of what Xinyan had said before. Taking on the restaurant had been her idea, and it had all started because Manager Qi from her company was getting married. It seemed he ought to give his wife a call later and ask about it.

After the restaurant situation was covered, Manager Cai, who was in charge of the hotel, spoke up. "With business booming at the restaurant, it’s also brought us benefits on the hotel side. A lot of companies have switched their designated hotels for client reception to ours.

"Partly it’s because they’re drawn by our hotel’s décor and the comfort level of staying here, and partly it’s because they want the convenience of dining at the restaurant. Our rooms are also in extremely short supply recently. Especially these past few days, if you don’t have a reservation, it’s really hard to get a room."

Hearing Manager Cai’s report, He Jinxuan said, "The hotel needs to keep five rooms vacant every day for contingencies."

Manager Cai quickly understood what the boss meant. "Got it. I’d already been keeping two rooms aside. I’ll go back and arrange to hold three more."

Then the heads of the renovation team and the construction team each reported on their respective areas. After He Jinxuan commented on their reports, he went over the matters they needed to pay attention to next.

Once everyone had finished, Vice President Qian Wangcheng finally spoke. "A while back I got to know some princeling friends. They said people are starting to speculate in land now. Some of them have already registered real estate companies. You mentioned before that your wife has a few parcels of land, and we’ve already got a construction team. Should we follow the trend and register one too?"

This was something Xinyan had already mentioned to He Jinxuan before, so he had it in mind. "Let’s push back registering a real estate company for now. After all, right now everybody’s crossing the river by feeling the stones. Our current task is to expand the construction team, give them more practice, and get them to the point where they can take on major projects as soon as possible.

"There’s another matter I want to bring up here. Our company is planning to jointly invest with Wande Company and Gu Company to build a large construction materials market. You’d better recruit a few more capable subordinates soon. Construction is about to start, and we have to have enough people."

When they heard this news, everyone immediately got excited. After all, Wande Company and Gu Company were both large enterprises, with overseas business and countless assets under their names. Being able to work with companies like that meant their own company’s development would naturally rise to a whole new level, and their wages and social status would definitely climb accordingly. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Everyone was as fired up as if they’d just been injected with chicken blood. As soon as the meeting ended, they all hurried off to their own tasks. No one wanted to fall behind the boss’s pace and the company’s development and end up being left behind and eliminated.
