Cao Kun pondered this for a long time in his office.

It wasn't until half an hour later that he realized what had happened.

He straightened his clothes a little, walked out of the office, and was about to have a good talk with Su Yue.

He then discovered that Xiao Li and several other mid-level managers from the company were standing outside his office, hesitant to approach.

He looked conflicted, wanting to go in but not daring to.

Seeing this, Cao Kun frowned and asked in a deep voice:

"Xiao Li, it's working hours now."

What are you lot doing loitering around here instead of working properly?

Xiao Li and his friends were huddled together, whispering something.

Caught red-handed by the boss out of the blue, I was startled.

But under Cao Kun's intense gaze, Xiao Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and hesitantly speak:

"Boss...we...we just...heard about it..."

Cao Kun's heart skipped a beat, and he roughly guessed what was going on.

The fact that funds are frozen cannot be kept secret from the traders responsible for the specific operations.

It's perfectly normal that Xiao Li would know.

He feigned composure and said:

"What have you heard?"

Don't believe those ridiculous rumors, everyone hurry back to work.

With that, Cao Kun told them to leave.

However, at that moment, the elevator doors opened with a ding.

More company employees who heard the news rushed over from other floors.

The crowd also included Xiao Zhang and others who had just been promoted to middle management.

They gathered near the office, anxiously peering around.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering, Xiao Li gritted his teeth, mustered his courage, and shouted:

"Boss, don't keep it from us anymore, we've already heard about it!"

The company is in big trouble this time.

Financial accounts have had tens of billions of dollars in assets frozen without any reason!

These words immediately caused an uproar in the corridor.

Many people had only vaguely heard that the company was facing difficulties.

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be a huge problem that could bankrupt a large company.

Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with deep worry.

Everyone was feeling uneasy.

If this really freezes tens of billions of dollars in cash flow...

Is the company... still able to survive?

Will I face unemployment soon?

Xiao Li looked at Cao Kun with a face full of anxiety and asked in a trembling voice:

"Boss, is this rumor true or not?"

The corridor fell silent instantly, everyone's eyes fixed on Cao Kun, awaiting his answer.

Seeing this, Cao Kun sighed.

Now that things had come to this, he felt there was no need to continue deceiving everyone.

He nodded frankly: "The rumors are true. The company's investment accounts have indeed had tens of billions of yuan frozen by the authorities."

Upon hearing the boss admit it himself, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

Seeing the low spirits of the crowd, Cao Kun quickly tried to comfort them:

"However, there is no need to worry at all; all the difficulties are only temporary."

I have already instructed General Manager Su to securely isolate the company's other assets.

The company has a very solid foundation, and everyone's salary and benefits are guaranteed...

He hadn't finished speaking.

Xiao Li's face flushed red, and he suddenly took a step forward, loudly interrupting Cao Kun's speech:

"Boss, that's not what I meant!"

Cao Kun was slightly taken aback, looking at him with some confusion: "Then what do you mean?"

Xiao Li appeared very agitated, and he spoke with spittle flying everywhere:

"Boss, I, Li Bin, am not an ungrateful person!"

We all know how good you are to us employees!

Now that the company is facing such great difficulties, this is precisely the time when everyone needs to work together to overcome these challenges!

Xiao Li patted his chest suddenly:

"I, Li Bin, would like to make a statement here today."

I am willing to take the lead in cutting wages, and I will absolutely not accept a single penny of overtime pay!

As long as we can help the company get through this difficult time, that's all that matters!

Cao Kun was stunned by his impassioned speech and explained with a wry smile:

"No, I didn't say the company was going to cut your salaries..."

Xiao Li completely ignored Cao Kun's explanation and continued speaking with deep emotion:

"Boss, please stop trying to hold on."

Before I met you, I, Li Bin, was just an ordinary low-level trader.

You gave me the opportunity, offering me not only the highest salary in the industry,

It also allowed me to grow into an investment manager who manages hundreds of billions of assets.

"I, Li Bin, will repay this immense kindness and recognition from you no matter what!"

Xiao Li turned around, looked at the employees gathered behind him, and asked loudly:

"I believe that all the employees present feel the same way, right?"

"right!"

Everyone present was infected by Xiao Li's emotions and nodded emphatically.

Xiao Zhang also squeezed out of the crowd and loudly declared his opinion:

"Boss, Brother Bin is right!"

Rest assured, even if the company account is frozen and we really can't pay salaries, we will have no complaints!

We will remain loyal and dedicated to working hard for you until the company weathers this crisis!

Cao Kun was utterly speechless, and somewhat frantically rubbed his hair:

"I'll say it again, I really didn't say I wouldn't pay salaries..."

Just then, Chen Weiguo, the general manager of Kunlun Media, who had heard the news, also ran over breathlessly.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and then spoke loudly:

"Boss, stop trying to put on a show of politeness in front of us. We've already heard about what happened!"

Chen Weiguo had a look on his face that said, "I understand you perfectly."

He thought Cao Kun was just putting on a brave face to maintain morale.

Chen Weiguo strode up to Cao Kun and pounded his chest loudly:

"Boss, rest assured, all of Kunlun Media's businesses are thriving and our cash flow is very stable."

If you have any needs, the media company's funds can be fully allocated to the head office at any time!

"Yeah, boss!"

At this moment, Chef Lao Wang, who had always been in charge of logistics, and the cleaning lady also pushed through the crowd and stood out.

Old Wang, still holding a spatula, said with red eyes:

"Boss, you usually pay us, who do the hard labor, such high wages and give us all sorts of generous benefits,"

Now that you're facing difficulties, we can't be ungrateful wretches!

"Exactly!" The cleaning lady, holding a brush in her hand, patted her chest with a righteous air.

"We really haven't had much education, and all we know how to do is manual labor."

But we are also part of the company, and we must get through this difficult time together with the company!

Not only that.

Fu Die and Zhu Mengmeng also came out at some point.

They had obviously heard the whole story, but neither of them said anything.

Instead, she silently walked up behind Cao Kun and stood still.

This most direct action demonstrated their attitude.

Looking at the group of enthusiastic and passionate employees in front of him, Cao Kun was truly at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

No... what kind of mess is this?!

But the company really doesn't need the money right now!
