Wen Ran entered the coffee shop and came directly to Yang Xinfa’s table.
“Miss Wen, please have a seat.”
Yang Xinfa politely spoke as he glanced at Qing Yang and Qing Feng standing beside her.
Wen Ran nodded, sat down opposite him, and Qing Yang and Qing Feng took their seats at the table next to theirs.
“Deputy Director Yang, if there’s anything you want to say, say it directly,” said Wen Ran.
Instead of ordering coffee, she asked the waiter for a glass of hot water, her gaze towards Yang Xinfa was indifferent and cold.
“Miss Wen, I think you should listen to this first.”
Yang Xinfa took out a recording pen from his pocket and gave it to Wen Ran. His smile was mocking. “Last night, I watched the live news broadcast. You promised the victim’s family that you would figure out what happened within three days. I think it won’t even take three days. This is an accident that’s very easy to solve.”
Wen Ran took the recording pen, but she didn’t listen to the content immediately. Instead, she stared coldly at Yang Xinfa’s smirk. “If you can solve it in one day, why would you need to look for me? The construction team can handle it directly.”
Her response left Yang Xinfa speechless, his expression fluctuating.
His gaze fell on the recording pen in Wen Ran’s hand as his tone became more stern. “Miss Wen, I tried to call President Qin, but he didn’t answer. And since Mo General is not in the country and I heard that currently, you are managing the group, I had no choice but to approach you.”
Qin Mu, that clever man, wouldn’t pick up his calls, clearly aware of his intentions. And with Mo Xiuchen still abroad and the media fanning the flames, with the situation escalating, he couldn’t afford to wait.
Wen Ran replied dismissively, “Deputy Director Yang, you seem to have found the wrong person. The tower crane accident is not the MS Group’s call to make. The police are involved in the investigation, the media are watching, and how can you propose a solution without clarity on the matter?”
“Miss Wen, investigating this will not be beneficial for the MS Group in the slightest. You must know the losses that not working just for a day incurs, right? Not to mention the pressure of public opinion. If quality issues are found in the construction, how would you explain this situation to General Mo?”
Yang Xinfa’s tone was harsh, hinting at a certain contempt for Wen Ran. He thought she was making a fuss over nothing.
Initially, Wen Ran wasn’t annoyed as she figured Yang Xinfa was only doing someone else’s bidding. But when he brought up the quality of the construction, her expression turned grim, her tone suddenly laced with severity, “Deputy Director Yang, you are in charge of quality supervision, isn’t it irresponsible of you to make such claims?”
“You?”
Yang Xinfa didn’t expect Wen Ran to refuse outright and became frustrated.
As Wen Ran raised an eyebrow, she retorted, “Am I wrong? Isn’t there a testing department under the Quality Supervision Bureau? If there’s a real issue with the construction, it will be difficult for you to evade responsibility.”
Yang Xinfa’s complexion turned from blue to pale, with Wen Ran’s words leaving him visibly flustered.
“Wen Ran, I have already received an anonymous report claiming that Mo Xiuchen used inferior construction materials for the project. As soon as I instruct someone to inspect the materials, regardless of the severity of the issue, Mo Xiuchen will not be able to escape responsibility.”
In other words, he could easily deflect the blame on Mo Xiuchen.
Wen Ran glared at him, “Are you threatening me, Deputy Director Yang?”
“You can choose to cooperate.”
Yang Xinfa made no attempt to hide his intentions.
Wen Ran sarcastically replied, “I’m afraid I don’t understand. How should I cooperate with you, Deputy Director Yang?”
Seeing Wen Ran ask this question, Yang Xinfa assumed that she was intimidated by his threat.
He smirkishly thought to himself that compared to Qin Mu and Mo Xiuchen, he didn’t take Wen Ran seriously at all. With just a few words, he could scare her into cooperating with him.
He said with a smile, “This is simple. As long as Miss Wen tells the family of the deceased that the accident had been thoroughly investigated and it was due to the driver’s improper operation and the workers’ mistakes that led to the fatal incident, and offer them a substantial compensation package, then everything would be settled smoothly. Of course, MS Group will not have to bear all the expenses, the city will also bear some part of it.
Then Yang Xinfa stopped and noticing that Wen Ran did not object, he made a promise, “From now on, there will be no quality problems occurring in the Trade Building till its completion.”
Upon seeing Yang Xinfa waiting for her agreement with a self-confident face, Wen Ran suddenly stood up, and with a smile, said, “Deputy Director Yang, I’m very sorry but I must say, I believe that Mo Xiuchen is not the sort of person to treat projects as child’s play for his personal gain. I also believe that there are no quality issues with the Trade Building, and moreover, I believe that the Quality Supervision Bureau is not a place where Deputy Director Yang’s wishes reign supreme. I’m afraid I won’t be able to fulfill your request. It’s getting late, I should go.”
At the neighboring table, upon seeing Wen Ran stand up, Qing Yang and Qing Feng also stood up immediately.
Yang Xinfa’s face alternated between green and white, and in his anger, he shouted, “Wen Ran!”
Having already walked two steps away, Wen Ran turned around, looked at Yang Xinfa’s grim expression, and asked with a hint of a smile on her face, “Is there anything else, Deputy Director Yang?”
Enraged, Yang Xinfa said through gritted teeth, “Wen Ran, when the project does have quality issues, you will regret it.”
Wen Ran frowned slightly, suddenly took out the recording pen given to her by Yang Xinfa, pressed it lightly and Yang Xinfa’s voice rang out. His face, which was already pale, suddenly twisted into an ugly grimace.
“Deputy Director Yang, I’ll keep this recorder for now. After I go home and listen to the content you recorded, I’ll return it to you.”
After saying this, Wen Ran ignored Yang Xinfa and gracefully left.
Yang Xinfa glared fiercely at Wen Ran. He wished he could rush forward and snatch the recording pen from her.
However, when Wen Ran’s bodyguards glared at him, he had to drop his thought, grinding his teeth in fury.
“Wen Ran, you will definitely regret it.”
As they left the coffee shop, he uttered a sentence through his gritted teeth.
“Miss Wen, you handled that excellently just now!”
Once they got in the car, Qing Feng excitedly cheered. He was worried that Wen Ran might be threatened and intimidated by Yang Xinfa and would acquiesce to his requests.
After all, Wen Ran knew nothing about the project. She might likely compromise for Mo Xiuchen’s sake.
However, to his surprise, not only did Wen Ran reject Yang Xinfa’s demands, but she also recorded his words.
Regardless of the content Yang Xinfa wanted Wen Ran to listen to, once Wen Ran releases her recording, Yang Xinfa’s reputation would be destroyed!
Qing Yang was not as optimistic as Qing Feng. He looked worriedly at Wen Ran and asked, “Miss Wen, what was in the recording that Yang Xinfa wanted you to listen to?”
Qing Yang figured that if Yang Xinfa had sought out Wen Ran, it meant he had something that could harm Mo Xiuchen or the MS Group.
Wen Ran looked outside the car window and saw Yang Xinfa paying the bill through the glass.
Her hand in her pocket tightened. She answered Qing Yang irrelevantly, “To the headquarters, we have the recorder in our possession, we can listen to the recording at any moment.”
