Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 633 - 634: Murong Group Wavers

"Tianyu, wake up!"

"It's still early!"

"It's not early, it's seven o'clock, almost time for work!" Gu Yunxi called out from outside the door.

"Work is work, why are you calling me? Don't you know I'm just a hands-off boss?" Xiao Tianyu replied helplessly. This woman is definitely trying to get back at me; doesn't she fear I'll fire her?

"Alright, you keep sleeping. I'm leaving now. Don't forget six o'clock tonight!" Gu Yunxi gave a faint smile, then left the villa and headed directly to the private parking lot.

...

Celestial Universe International Headquarters.

After parking the car, Gu Yunxi directly entered Celestial Universe International. The security guards at the entrance saluted her, nodding attentively.

Kidding aside, Gu Yunxi is now the Administrative Director at Celestial Universe International, having risen swiftly to power. Who'd dare cross her?

Maybe she even has a thing going with the legendary CEO.

"Morning, Director!"

"Good morning, Director!"

"..."

After Gu Yunxi entered Celestial Universe International, numerous employees greeted her respectfully. After a slight nod of acknowledgment, Gu Yunxi headed to the exclusive elevator to the 99th floor.

"Morning, Director!" A demure girl greeted Gu Yunxi. "My name is Xiaoli, I'll be your secretary from now on!"

"Oh!" Gu Yunxi nodded.

Xiaoli continued, "Director, should I take you to your office?"

"Alright!" Gu Yunxi smiled faintly. On her first day at work, she really didn't know where her office was. Led by Xiaoli, she soon arrived at her office door, entered the password, and was astounded by the lavish office decor.

To be honest, the Administrative Director's office was even more opulent than her previous CEO's office, and the two weren't even on the same level.

"Director, what would you like to drink?"

"Coffee, please!" Gu Yunxi responded.

"Alright!" Xiaoli exited the office but soon returned with a cup of coffee, placing it on Gu Yunxi's desk. "Director, anything else you need?"

"Bring me all the financial statements from the past year!" Gu Yunxi requested. Now that she sat in the Administrative Director's seat at Celestial Universe International, she couldn't let Xiao Tianyu down. To excel, she needed to understand all the financial operations of Celestial Universe International.

After Xiaoli left the office, Gu Yunxi opened the computer, entered a pre-prepared password, and started reviewing various financial records. Yet, with each query, Gu Yunxi was completely bewildered.

Celestial Court?

Immortal Realm?

What kind of terms are these? Could there really be immortals and gods in this world? And has Celestial Universe International already expanded into the heavens? This just doesn't make any logical sense. Could the computer be infected with a virus?

Gu Yunxi couldn't believe what she was witnessing. The reach of Celestial Universe International was not only in the heavens but extended to all major planets across the universe. The deeper she investigated, the more incredulous she felt. Just what kind of monster is that man?

Moreover, Gu Yunxi felt that Xiao Tianyu's background was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, surely harboring some terrifying identity beyond anyone's knowledge. To what extent, Gu Yunxi didn't know, but she increasingly felt that Xiao Tianyu was extremely mysterious.

"Director, the reports you requested!" Xiaoli entered the office carrying the documents. Gu Yunxi immediately closed the computer and told Xiaoli, "Just leave them on the desk!"

"Sure!" Xiaoli nodded.

Then, Xiaoli's beautiful eyes sparkled as she asked, "Director, since it's your first day, would you like to hold a press conference?"

"No need!" Gu Yunxi promptly declined. She didn't want the world to know her current identity. She aimed to catch Murong Group off guard. Then, Gu Yunxi said, "Send out notifications, I want to hold a meeting!"

"Yes, Director!" Xiaoli nodded and left.

Ten minutes later, Gu Yunxi arrived at the meeting room. Just as she entered, everyone from the general manager to the various executives got up, "Good morning, Director!"

"Have a seat, everyone!" Gu Yunxi said, and everyone sat down. Sweeping her gaze across the room, Gu Yunxi spoke, "How are the preparations for the financial conference coming along?"

"Everything is ready. The Director can attend the financial conference directly tomorrow!" the general manager said.

"Good!" Gu Yunxi nodded and continued, "Regarding Celestial Universe International, which companies are we currently collaborating with in Fengzhou City, and does any of them include Murong Group?"

"Yes!" A young man from the administrative department spoke up, "Several real estate authorizations under Murong Group originate from Celestial Universe International, and all major product distributors are appointed by Celestial Universe International!"

"Sever these ties immediately!" Gu Yunxi's voice was firm.

"But…"

"Do as I say!" Gu Yunxi insisted.

Hearing this, although there was some debate, there was no choice but to comply. It was widely known why Gu Corporation went bankrupt; this was Gu Yunxi leveraging Celestial Universe International's power to cripple and devastate Murong Group, never to recover.

Though Celestial Universe International would also suffer significant losses, they didn't care. Many speculated that Xiao Tianyu appointed Gu Yunxi as Administrative Director to allow her to exact vengeance, wasn't that the reason?

...

Three in the afternoon.

Murong Group received earth-shattering news, causing tremors throughout the company as everyone discussed the matter.

"Did you hear? I heard Celestial Universe International cut all financial ties with Murong Group. Are they trying to freeze Murong Group out?"

"What? Where did you hear that?"

"I just found out about it myself. I don't know if it's true!"

"..."

All across Murong Group, discussions erupted, and departments buzzed with talks on the subject.

In the power center, the CEO's office.

"Why is this happening?" Murong Yunlong slammed the table with both hands, his voice booming, making other executives in the office show signs of fear. A department manager said, "I'm not sure either, technically, we haven't offended Celestial Universe International!"

"Now is not the time for that!" Murong Yunlong shouted, "Is the finance manager here?"

"Calculate how much we've lost in total!"

"Approximately over fifty billion, but that's just the current data; I fear stocks may continue to fall!" the finance manager reported.

"Got it, is there any way to mitigate this?" Murong Yunlong asked.

"Retracting funds might reduce losses a little!"

"Then retract them!" Murong Yunlong ordered, "Find out why Celestial Universe International cut ties with Murong Group. I need to know the reason. Information Manager, this task is for you!"

"Understood!" the Information Manager nodded.

Just as he finished speaking, there was an urgent knock on the door.

"Come in!" Murong Yunlong responded. As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and a young man holding a document entered the office, saying, "There's another piece of negative news about Murong Group!"
