Fang.
In the huge meeting, it was noisy, and almost everyone had the word "angry" written on their faces.
As soon as Fang Yuchen and Yang Lao entered, they immediately became quiet.
Mr. Yang glanced around the people present, then raised his hand and patted Fang Yuchen on the shoulder before walking to his seat and sitting down.
Looking at the unhappy-looking directors, Fang Yuchen knew that he had a tough battle to fight.
He took a deep breath and walked over. As soon as he pulled out a chair to sit down, someone impatiently asked.
"Yuchen, why didn't you tell us about the fire? Should you give us an explanation?"
Fang Yuchen squeezed his hands, then released them, raised his head, and looked at the man calmly, "I was busy investigating and didn't have time to tell you. I didn't mean to hide it."
"Are you saying that, or have we wronged you?" The man obviously didn't believe your explanation.
"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it."
Fang Yuchen didn't want to struggle with him on this issue.
The man was irritated by his attitude and shouted directly: "Do you know how many years I have followed your grandfather? How dare you talk to me with that attitude?"
"That's enough!" Mr. Yang shouted. He glanced at the man coldly, "How old are you? Can't you calm down your anger? Even if you are angry again, you have to listen carefully to what others say."
Yang is the oldest person here. Others don't give Fang Yuchen face, and they can't give him face either.
The man held back his anger, but still said to Fang Yuchen unwillingly: "Okay, I'll just listen and see how you explain it clearly."
Fang Yuchen cast a grateful look at Mr. Yang, who nodded slightly, indicating that he would speak boldly.
The conference room became quiet again.
Fang Yuchen thought for a moment before speaking slowly: "After police investigation, the fire was caused by an unextinguished cigarette butt. Because the warehouse was filled with dry medicinal materials, and the weather was dry, the warehouse was almost completely burned down."
As soon as these words came out, the directors looked at me and I looked at you, and they couldn't accept this.
"Each of our warehouses is equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system, how could it still burn so badly?" someone raised a question.
Fang Yuchen looked over and explained seriously: "The result given by the police is that the fire was too big and the automatic fire extinguishing system could not be used normally."
"Which employee on duty smoked the cigarette?" Mr. Yang asked.
"Li Peng from the warehousing department."
In fact, the directors did not know the person Fang Yuchen was talking about.
"Where is the man? What did he say?" Mr. Yang asked again.
Fang Yuchen didn't hide anything and told the truth: "He is in the hospital now."
Hearing this, there was an uproar around him.
"Why are people in the hospital?"
"Did you get burned?"
"If this matter spreads, it will be very detrimental to our Fang family."
…
Everyone was talking a lot, and Fang Yuchen couldn't help but raise his voice and interrupt their discussion, "Everyone, be quiet first and listen to me."
After everyone calmed down, he continued: "It may be vomiting and diarrhea caused by food poisoning, not burns."
"So that's it." The others breathed a sigh of relief.
But what Fang Yuchen said in the next second made them think again.
"The situation is serious and he may die."
When Mr. Yang heard this, his expression immediately changed, "Why is food poisoning so serious?"
"Doctors are still not completely sure of the cause of the disease, so they can only temporarily maintain life." After speaking, Fang Yuchen's voice became softer.
The conference room fell silent again, and the atmosphere became a little heavy.
After a long time, Mr. Yang spoke first: "This is really weird."
After he mentioned it, other people reacted and expressed that things were indeed strange.
From the time of the fire to the time Li Peng was hospitalized, it was only about ten hours, which really made people suspicious.
"Yuchen, do the police have anything to say?" Mr. Yang asked.
"They said they will continue to investigate and will tell me if they find anything."
Mr. Yang thought for a while, "We can't just rely on the police, we must also find ways to investigate the matter ourselves."
As soon as this was said, others agreed.
"The matter needs to be investigated, but an explanation must also be given." The person who spoke was the one who initially questioned Fang Yuchen.
Fang Yuchen looked at him and frowned slightly. This person had always been on Fang Yiming's side. He had also taken the lead in not supporting him in becoming the heir to the Fang family.
To embarrass him like this today is just a basic operation.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuchen felt better. He turned to his assistant and asked his assistant to send out the fire loss statistics.
The directors lowered their heads as soon as they got it.
"Hundreds of millions!" someone exclaimed.
This was what Fang Yuchen expected. He stood up and explained: "There are some rare medicinal materials in this warehouse, as well as a lot of aconite, black money, and poinsettia from the Western Regions. Although these three are not rare, they are I think everyone here knows better than me about its medicinal value.”
"So hundreds of millions is just a rough estimate."
The directors were all shocked by this value and were speechless.
After things calmed down, someone immediately said, "Yuchen, you just took over the Fang family and something so serious happened. I think you have to bear the responsibility for this matter."
"Yes, I agree. Someone has to take responsibility for this."
The people who agreed were either Fang Yiming's people or Fang Yanxin's people.
Fang Yuchen replied calmly: "I will take responsibility, don't worry."
"How do you want to take responsibility?" the other party asked.
"I will investigate the matter thoroughly."
The other party widened his eyes in disbelief, "Is that all?"
Mr. Yang frowned and his face darkened. These people really know how to "act according to circumstances".
Although Fang Yuchen is young, he immediately understood their real purpose.
He pretended to be stupid, "Then what do you think I should do?"
The directors exchanged glances with each other, "Resign. We think you are not suitable to be the president. We should let someone capable take the position."
Fang Yuchen was silent.
He looked at them quietly, his face calm, without any panic.
At this time, Mr. Yang spoke.
"Yuchen is the heir chosen by Mr. Fang himself. Isn't it too much for you to ask him to resign?"
"Mr. Yang, we know your relationship with Mr. Fang, so we will naturally stand on Yuchen's side, but we are also doing it for the good of Fang, aren't we?"
"Really?" Mr. Yang sneered, "You know best whether you are doing it for the good of Fang or for your own selfishness."
"I won't resign." Fang Yuchen said firmly, "My grandfather trusts me, and I won't let him down. I am indeed responsible for this fire, and I will take responsibility for what I should take responsibility for. Please give me another chance, uncles and aunts."
The directors were all a little guilty about what Mr. Yang said. Now that he said this again, how dare they make things difficult for him.
They could only go down the stairs, "We will give you a week. If there is no result, you will resign."
