48: Chapter 48 Find that kid and bring him to me.

The towering and grand headquarters of Taian Company.

Over the next hour or so, it could only be described as a constant stream of incidents!

Elevator malfunctions, burst water pipes, falling exterior walls, cracks in the building structure... all sorts of situations made it look like someone was intentionally causing trouble within Taian Company.

But upon careful investigation, everything turned out to be an accident!

However, these accidents were occurring far too frequently!

It was truly bizarre!

At this moment, Li Taian, the boss of Taian Company, was furiously reprimanding the head of the Logistics Department!

Just moments ago, an important figure had come to the company to discuss a partnership. When that figure went to the restroom, the sewage from the toilet gushed out like a fountain!

It didn't matter if the partnership fell through, but if such a thing offended that important person, Taian Company wouldn't be able to withstand their wrath!

“Tell me, what on earth is going on?” Li Taian was beyond livid, harshly berating the company's senior executives.

He strongly suspected that during the construction of the headquarters, these executives had been too greedy and embezzled too much!

This led to the entire building being constructed with a large amount of inferior materials!

Resulting in the various problems seen today!

The staff members looked at each other, suffering in silence.

Back when the company built the headquarters, they had indeed taken the opportunity to pocket quite a bit of money.

But even if the building had quality issues, it was impossible for so many problems to occur on the same day!

“President Li!” The pot-bellied Bao Yonghua was naturally a confidant of the boss, Li Taian; otherwise, he wouldn't have secured the position of Manager of the Procurement Department.

With all the senior executives afraid to speak up, Bao Yonghua walked over to the boss's side and whispered something.

“A while ago, someone came to our company to collect a payment.”

“When he left, he mentioned that our headquarters' Metaphysics was bad...”

Hearing this, Li Taian looked at Bao Yonghua as if he were an idiot. “Do you think the problems the company is facing now have anything to do with Metaphysics?”

“I don't know!” Bao Yonghua quickly shook his head and continued to explain, “What I wanted to say is that after that kid left, my office was the first to have problems, and then the entire building started having one issue after another...”

“Heh...” Li Taian let out a cold laugh of realization. “In other words, it's very likely that kid is behind all these things we're experiencing!”

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Li Taian directly gave the order, “Find that kid and bring him before me!”

“I'd like to see exactly how my company's Metaphysics is bad!”

With the boss speaking, Bao Yonghua quickly had his subordinates contact Rouru Company.

But soon, a staff member ran back with a frustrated expression and shook his head.

“Manager Bao, Rouru Company says they didn't arrange for anyone to come for payment collection today.”

“That shouldn't be right?” Bao Yonghua was certain he hadn't remembered incorrectly. “What that kid said back then was definitely that he came on behalf of Rouru Company!”

Just then, another staff member stepped forward to report, “Manager Bao, that person was brought in by Brother Hao from the Finance Department. Brother Hao must know him!”

Immediately, Bao Yonghua had someone contact Brother Hao.

At this time, Brother Hao, who was out driving, was pitching credit services to a client.

Receiving a call from the company was a normal occurrence.

However, the company was actually looking for Luo Wei!

Brother Hao was a bit dazed by this!

The company was really trying to find Luo Wei through him!

Luo Wei had said something like this before, but he hadn't paid any attention to it at all!

He was extremely puzzled and couldn't help asking, “Um, Manager, why is the company looking for Luo Wei?”

“It's hard to explain in a few words!” The person on the other end of the phone was exceptionally irritable. “Anyway, give me his number, or bring him back to the company immediately!”

“I... I'll look for it...” Brother Hao quickly opened his contacts, trying to find Luo Wei's contact information.

Unfortunately, he and Luo Wei weren't close and hadn't exchanged contact info.

Brother Hao quickly opened his university classmates' group chat.

He first sent a red envelope to draw everyone out.

Then he called out to his former classmates, “Does anyone have Luo Wei's phone number? Please send it to me!”

“Brother Hao, what do you need Luo Wei for? You seem to be in a real hurry.”

“Luo Wei? I'm not close to him, I don't have his number.”

“Ask Lin Fei, Lin Fei is Luo Wei's girlfriend!”

“That's right, @Lin Fei.”

By this time, Lin Fei had already left Honghai City and gone home.

Ever since that blind date, she had a falling out with her Best Friend and wanted to move out.

But rental rooms under a thousand were like pigeon coops, and she couldn't afford a house that was too expensive.

Furthermore, she had sent out many resumes but hadn't received any interview notifications.

Dejected, she could only scurry back home in shame.

While she was taking a nap, she was tagged in the group.

She really wanted to explain that she and Luo Wei had broken up.

However, Brother Hao just wanted Luo Wei's contact info.

After Lin Fei sent out Luo Wei's number, she didn't bother to explain anything.

Having obtained Luo Wei's number, Brother Hao quickly dialed it.

Luo Wei, who was sleeping comfortably in his car, was awakened by the ringtone.

Seeing it was an incoming call from an unknown number, he answered it casually, “Hello, who is this?”

“Luo Wei, it's Brother Hao!” Brother Hao immediately explained, “My company has an urgent matter and is looking for you!”

“Is that so?” Luo Wei yawned; he wasn't surprised by this at all.

“Wait for me downstairs at the company, I'll head over now!”

Hanging up the phone, Luo Wei glanced out the car window.

The Taian Company headquarters, which had been towering and grand not long ago, was now a bit of an eyesore.

The exterior walls and decorations of the building had fallen off, leaving the walls mottled and unsightly, looking like a plucked chicken.

He didn't know what was happening inside the building, but employees were constantly streaming out, standing in the open space as if taking refuge.

Luo Wei checked the time; it had only been over an hour since he placed the bad luck talisman on the building.

The bad luck talisman was truly powerful, throwing the entire building into chaos!

Stretching, Luo Wei was in no hurry to show himself.

Not until he saw Brother Hao rushing back from outside, looking anxious and uneasy as he scanned the area downstairs.

Only then did Luo Wei open the car door and lazily appear before Brother Hao.

Brother Hao could tell that Luo Wei had been sleeping in the car.

However, he didn't have the energy to complain.

All he wanted now was to complete his task.

“Did you do something?” he asked curiously while leading Luo Wei into the headquarters building.

“I advise you not to go against our company; our company is not simple at all!”

The reason Brother Hao gave this advice was naturally not for Luo Wei's sake.

It was because the company already knew that he and Luo Wei were acquainted.

He was worried that Luo Wei's actions would affect him.

Luo Wei smiled and nodded, saying nothing.

Brother Hao had no choice but to bring Luo Wei to the conference room as quickly as possible.

He never expected that the boss, Li Taian, would actually be in the conference room as well, and his expression was extremely grim...
