Love Comes To Me
Chapter 1557: Someone is playing games with me

As soon as the media received the revelation, they immediately spread the word.

Chris's company employees, who had been kept in the dark about the news, soon panicked. "What does the president mean by saying he plans to shut down the national company?"

"How are we going to get paid if the company has no funds?".

"That can't be, I've worked hard for the company, I can't not collect a penny of salary."

...

The hullabaloo reached the ears of senior management, who could only intervene to reassure the staff.

"It's the media talking nonsense, the head office has not transferred all the company's funds, don't worry, the company will not lose a cent of its money."

"We haven't seen the president for a while, something must have happened at headquarters." Some employees raised questions.

"The president just returned to take care of a small problem, he'll be back soon." The veteran wiped the sweat from his brow.

To be honest, they had no idea what was going on in their hearts when something so serious had happened to the company, but they still had to appease the staff as Chris had asked them to do, and they also felt suffocated. "The news has made it very clear and understandable, but the company is giving an ambiguous attitude, we don't believe it!".

The staff did not believe the executives at all and were up in arms on the spot.

"We were supposed to be paid yesterday, but the finance department said there was a problem with the banking system, so we should pay them today. Now it looks like it won't be paid either, right? Tell us exactly when it will be paid." "Yes, when will it be paid?"

"When!" A word echoed through the company's first floor lobby, and the executives raised their hands to signal them to be quiet: "Trust the company, the wages will be paid!"

"If we don't get paid, we'll all go on strike!".

I don't know who said it, but others echoed the words.

The senior managers looked at me, and I looked at you, not knowing what to do for a while.

While the staff was in an uproar, the media broke a story.

The Bartram Group had not withdrawn funds to help Chris.

This news undoubtedly frightened the employees even more.

In their opinion, the company was doomed!

To defend their rights, the employees put up a banner in front of the company the next day, chanting for the company to pay them the wages they were owed!

The media were quick to pick up on the situation and published it all on the Internet. Most Internet users agreed with the employees and even followed their example by calling Chris' company an unscrupulous company.

...

Overseas, Chris was so busy that he had to take care of a lot of things every day and barely had time to rest.

"Have some water." Linda put the glass of water in his hand and sighed softly as she saw the blue and black under his eyes.

She could tell how busy he had been these past few days, and she was anxious. If things couldn't be resolved on this side, it would affect her plans in the first place.

And she wanted to wait to see what happened with Marcos and Paulina!

"If you can't wait, go back to your country first." Chris looked at her.

Linda frowned, "What's the point of me going back alone, I'll wait for you."

Chris held up a hand and scrunched his brow, "I don't know how long it will take to take care of this side."

Hearing that, his eyes grew cold.

This crisis was much more serious than he had thought, and what was causing him the most headaches was the involvement of the police. Once the matter was not dealt with properly and the police side was not held accountable, this enterprise of his could not continue to function.

"I believe you." Linda reached around the desk and gently put her hand on his shoulder.

Chris took her hand in his and turned his head to look at her, "With your trust, I have confidence."

At that moment, his assistant came in, looking panicked.

"President, something has happened."

A bad feeling came over him, and Chris opened his mouth to ask, "What's wrong?"

"The branch employees are on strike, demanding that the company settle their wages."

"Damn it!" Chris cursed, and with a wave of his hand, the water Linda had just poured for him was swept to the floor. Bang!

Fragments of the cup splashed everywhere.

Linda unconsciously took a step back, frowning.

"Where are the higher-ups, are they all losers, can't you even handle this!" asked Chris in a stern voice.

The aide swallowed saliva, lowered his head and replied cautiously, "They've been trying to appease the staff, but the national media has reported...."

He said stiffly, "I don't know who blew the whistle on your transfer of funds from the branch, and after all the media coverage, the staff knew, that's why...." "Who blew the whistle?" Chris roared in anger, "Find out! Find out who it was."

"Yes!"

When the assistant left, Linda walked over to Chris and rubbed his chest, "Come on, don't get mad."

"How can I not be mad?" Chris leaned back in his chair, his face uncharacteristically grim, "I've transferred funds from China to plug the hole in the power plant, and as soon as some time passes, it will get better and everything will be back to normal. As a result, it's all over the place now."

Speaking of this, Chris's face got even uglier: "I suspect that this thing after another is just someone screwing with me."

"It's been a while since your accident, and quite a few people are waiting to see the joke, and there's no telling who's secretly tripping."

Chris narrowed his eyes, his gaze unrelenting, "If we find out who it is, I'm not letting him go!".

Behind him, Linda's face was just as ugly, she had a suspicion in her mind, but without proof, it was hard to tell.

At home, Rawlins' face darkened at the news.

His willingness or unwillingness to allocate funds to help Chris, a private matter between him and Chris, had been blown out of proportion. The main thing was how the other party knew he was unwilling to allocate the money.

"Go find out who leaked the news to the media."

Rawlins likewise sent his assistant to investigate, also keeping an eye on Chris's company, which he feared might affect his own.

However, as it stands, the impact on the Bartram Group has not been significant.

It's just that at this rate, Chris's company in the field could be finished.

Thinking about this, Rawlins had a little more calculation in his eyes.
