Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 271

What did he mean? All the directors were confused about Horace's abrupt move. What was in the latest news?

The phone that Horace threw on the table slid into a director. The director picked up the phone curiously and looked at it. Then his face suddenly changed, "How come?"

When the crowd heard his words and saw his expression change, they were also curious about what he had seen.

"What happened?" Sean asked with an unfriendly look. It was not easy for him to seize a chance to defeat Horace. He must not make any mistakes at this critical moment.

"Mr. Kirkland, look." The director stood up and walked to Sean, handing Sean the phone in his hand.

Seeing the content on the phone, Sean's face turned livid.

Seeing this, everyone took out their mobile phones and began to search for news about Kirkland Group, and then their faces all darkened.

As soon as they entered the words "Kirkland Group" in the search box, the information shown in almost all the news titles was "Food Additives of Kirkland Group's Product Exceeds the Limit", "Consumers Ask for An Explanation from Kirkland Group", "Issues of Food Safety, Kirkland Group Under Investigation".

Everyone clicked it open with a serious look. It turned out that the subsidiary companies in charge of food production were found to have obviously excessive supplements. And these subsidiaries were owned by Sean.

Several influential news media published this news. For a time, Kirkland Group was pushed to the forefront of public opinion, exerting a negative impact on society.

Customers were also extremely disgusted with this kind of thing, and they all launched a strong attack on Kirkland Group on the Internet.

"Aren't they afraid of killing people? Who is responsible for the supervision of such a company? I think it should be sentenced to intentional homicide."

"Such a company must be severely punished, making them bankrupt. Let's see if they dare to do such a conscienceless thing."

"I don't know what the hell the food inspection department is doing. Dose the department work? The government should strengthen the effectiveness of punishment system. Give us a safe environment."

"I really hope that Kirkland Group will duly handle this accident, and I also hope that the victims of this incident can get their compensation. And I demand that those responsible be brought to justice."

...

Looking at the comments of netizens, everyone was a little flustered. Once customers doubted the food safety, it was difficult to find a way to regain their trust.

If this matter couldn't be solved well, not only subsidiaries owned by Sean would be closed down, but also the reputation of the whole Kirkland Group might be affected.

"Have you seen it clearly?" Horace looked around. When the crowd heard his words, they all looked at each other in silence, no longer behaving in a threatening manner.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Horace snorted in his heart. Weren't they all domineering just now? Why were they all dumb now?

Then he turned to look at Sean and asked, "How are you going to explain this to everyone?"

Giving Horace a ferocious look, Sean was speechless and didn't know how to defend himself. The news was exposed so suddenly that he was caught off guard.

Seeing everyone's expression, Russell stood up and took the mobile phone of a director beside him to check. After reading the content of the news, he immediately became furious.

"Sean, what the hell is going on?" Russell pounded the table and questioned. "I have told you many times that you must pay attention to food safety. This thing can't be ignored. Do you turn a deaf ear to my words?"

"Grandpa, how could I forget your words? But I didn't know about it until now." In a hurry, Sean stood up and explained to Russell. "It must be done by those workers. I'll investigate the matter now."

"It's useless to investigate now. The news has been reported," Russell was so angry that his face turned red.

Being scolded in front of so many people, Sean felt a little embarrassed, but at this time, he could only answer carefully, "I see, grandpa. I'll ask people to handle this thing right away. Please believe me, I will deal with this matter."

At this time, Horace saw Sean's assistant pacing anxiously outside the meeting room and looking at the situation inside from time to time.

With a sneer in his heart, Horace said to him, "Come in."

The assistant also knew that it was not a good thing to go in at this time, but he had to listen to Horace's order, so he had to bite the bullet and go in.

He wanted to whisper to Sean, but his action irritated Russell. "What? Is there anything that I can't listen to?"

"No, sir. It's... it's..." The assistant stammered with fear. He glanced at Sean and had to say, "It's Mr. Scott, director of Paxcred Food, who wants to see Mr. Sean Kirkland. He said he had something important to report."

"Well, what else can it be? It's all your fault." Pointing at Sean, Russell scolded, "Let him in!"

"Yes, sir." After receiving the order, the assistant left the meeting room in a hurry.

Soon, a bald, fat middle-aged man came in. Before he entered the room, he spoke first, "Sean, something bad happened. Please hurry up..."

After entering the meeting room and seeing the scene inside, this man immediately stopped talking.

My God! Why there were so many directors, and even Russell was there? Did he know that the food company has been investigated? So, he was waiting to blame me?

At the thought of this, Mr. Scott's forehead began to sweat. He was afraid that he would lose his job.

"What happened?" Russell snapped.

Hearing Russell's words, Mr. Scott was a little trembling. "Sir, people from Food Security Administration came. They said that Paxcred Food would be temporarily suspended from business. And we must cooperate with the investigation. I have no idea what we should do, so..."

Hearing his words, Sean's face darkened and glared at him.

Never make, always break. Why did he have to come at this moment? He just added fuel to the fire.

Frightened by Sean's glare, Mr. Scott's legs were trembling. "I'm afraid that I will have a hard time this time," he thought.

"All of you are so troublesome," Russell hadn't been so angry for a long time. "Go and deal with it."

"Yes, Grandpa." With these words, Sean walked out of the meeting room with a dark face.

"Wait a minute." Seeing that Sean was about to leave, Horace said, "Sean, didn't you just say that anyone who made a mistake wouldn't have the right to take over Kirkland Group? Now that such a thing happened to the company under your control, does it mean that you will also hand over the shares of Kirkland Group?

"Horace..." Sean angrily pointed at him, but couldn't say anything to refute him. If he didn't let go of the thing that Horace had leaked clients' information, he would get himself into trouble in the end.

Thinking of what he had just said, Sean felt his face burning, and at the same time, he hated Horace even more in his heart.

He didn't believe that such a coincidence would happen. He had just summoned the board of directors to attack Horace, and then such a bad thing had been exposed on the Internet. He was sure that it must have something to do with Horace.

But no matter how reluctant he was, he had to let go of Horace first.

"That's enough," Russell yelled. "This is not the time to quarrel. You two still have the mood to argue here. The most important thing now is to find a way to suppress the news on the Internet."

"Okay, Grandpa. I'll go now." Sean glared at Horace and left the meeting room quickly.
