Chimu Jiu's tone remained calm, but a hint of worry flickered in her eyes. She truly hadn't expected that in a company on the brink of collapse, there wouldn't be any white-collar employees looking to jump ship. There should be fewer than three hundred left.
Hearing this, Chimu Jiu couldn't help but feel a tightening in her chest. Even though she had anticipated the severity of the situation, facing the reality still brought a wave of heaviness and helplessness.
Her voice carried a trace of exhaustion and powerlessness. At that moment, Xiao Xiao seemed to muster great courage, slightly lifting her head and cautiously looking at Chimu Jiu as she spoke.
"Miss, I've organized all the transaction records from when the Second Miss joined the company over the past few days."
"You? Did you bring it with you?"
Chimu Jiu was quite surprised by this statement. It was remarkable that an intern would still be thinking about how to remedy the situation when the company was on the verge of shutting down.
"I... I brought it," Xiao Xiao replied, pulling out a laptop from her bag and opening the document in front of Chimu Jiu.
"What’s your name?" Chimu Jiu asked softly after just a glance.
"Xiao Xiao," she replied, a flash of shock crossing her eyes before she quickly lowered her head again.
Was she blushing? A hint of confusion crossed Chimu Jiu's mind.
"Since you created this document, please explain it in detail."
Xiao Xiao initially remained silent but then gently nodded in response.
Miss, I hope you can forgive me for what I’m about to say.
Since the Second Miss took over, the performance of the company has been declining sharply. All the collaborations handled by her have resulted in losses, whether in stocks or physical goods. Although the number of orders has increased, the group is unable to provide quality products. Consequently, the Second Miss resorted to using inferior substitutes, which naturally failed to pass customer inspections. This led to substantial penalties and compensation fees, causing a rapid depletion of funds in the group's accounts.
In recent months, the total losses incurred by the company have exceeded hundreds of millions. This amount has been directly deducted from our accounts to cover penalties for breached contracts and daily operational costs, which are far from sufficient. Not to mention, there are nearly a thousand employees whose salaries need to be paid. However, it is worth mentioning that our collaboration with the Ye Group has not been terminated. It is precisely because of this partnership that we have managed to mitigate some of our losses.
While all other clients are pressing for payments, only the Ye Group has not put any pressure on us; in fact, they have fully paid for the goods involved in our collaboration.
Xiao Xiao spoke these words in one breath before lowering her head again.
Chi Mu Jiu felt even more surprised. The timid girl who had just spoken hesitantly was now articulating her analysis of the company's financial situation with clarity and insight.
Ning Chen also began to see Xiao Xiao in a different light.
The data I’ve compiled shows that the Second Miss's actions have indirectly caused losses amounting to hundreds of millions.
Xiao Xiao added, then reverted back to her earlier timid demeanor.
Hundreds of millions. To Chi Mu Jiu, this figure seemed small at present, but she couldn’t help but curse Chi Qiyun, that little green tea girl, in her heart.
For the Chi family, such a massive debt would undoubtedly spell disaster. Chi Qiyun had truly dealt a heavy blow. If it weren’t for the ongoing collaboration with Ye Jue, it would mean that Ye Jue's group has effectively covered tens of billions for the Chi family.
Without Du Hengyan's strong connections backing them up, it’s likely that the Chi family's business would have collapsed long before she returned.
Ultimately, it was still Du Hengyan who had come to their aid.
