Machinations

Han Wanling's hostage situation had forced the Han Corporation to take out a lump sum to handle the protest from the workers.

For Han Wanling, who had intended to settle the workers' strike with her methods, it was completely unexpected that she would end up utterly defeated and even humiliated.

The issue hadn't been settled, and the workers of the Lian Cheng Company had not yet been pacified when the media exposed the latest spending of the Han family. The large sums had then triggered much more anger toward them from the public.

As the internal offices of the Han Corporation delayed their conflict-resolution plans, the corporation's staff became more and more anxious. Han Yaotian bore the weight of the pressure as he time and again promised the shareholders that their profit margins would not be affected in board meetings.
