Chapter 134 - 133 Corporate Crisis
"Do you think I don’t want to stay here every day, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper?"
Lin Qianru gave Lu Tianxing a look and sighed, "During the chairman’s hospitalization, a company appeared out of nowhere that seems to know our company secrets. We’ve lost several clients to them; they canceled their contracts with us, even at the cost of paying breach penalties. Now, it’s causing panic throughout the entire company."
"How did they pull these clients? Could there be a leak of client information? Have you found anything? Could there be a traitor in the company?"
Lu Tianxing’s expression narrowed slightly; he sensed something unusual. This problem didn’t arise from nothing. That emerging company must have someone backing it; otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to oppose Bai’s Group, considering they’re as different from Bai’s Group as an ant is from an elephant."
"I don’t know."
Lin Qianru shook her head wearily, "Generally, our client information is compiled by our sales department and then saved in the system. The IT department checked but found no viruses or Trojan attacks. I’ve secretly investigated other salespeople and didn’t uncover anything unusual. Luckily, the information about some important clients was compiled and entered into the system directly by me. In Bai’s Group, only the chairman has the authority to look into these materials, so at least those important clients’ information hasn’t been leaked. Otherwise, we’d have a big problem."
Lin Qianru’s face was filled with gravity. Now is a critical time for Bai’s Group in competing with other companies for the development investment of Tianhe Resort. If Bai’s Group were to face this kind of credibility crisis, the investment in Tianhe Resort development might completely disassociate from Bai’s Group.
Not securing this investment for the resort wouldn’t history Bai’s Group, but it would be enough to cripple it; thinking about any significant development in the coming years would be wishful thinking.
"Is there anything we can do about this?" Lu Tianxing asked gravely, "Although I’ve never managed a company, I understand the consequences of this issue."
