On the other side, Jiang's Banquet Hall.
It is located in the core area of the Jiang Group headquarters. It not only covers a very large area, but also has gorgeous decoration.
In preparation for the upcoming charity reception, a series of elaborate arrangements were made in the banquet hall.
At the entrance, there is a marble sculpture with elegant curves. It is a blooming peony flower, which means prosperity and beauty. Next to the sculpture is a four-meter-high abstract painting, with colorful lines and blocks of color intertwined together, which is extremely artistic and beautiful.
In the center of the banquet hall is a huge long circular table, which is used to place exquisite tableware and delicacies. Around it are comfortable red soft chairs and exquisite paintings and works of art.
In addition, there is a small stage, performance area, and rooms for guests to rest and discuss business.
As soon as Jiang Kede entered the lobby, Manager Liu, who was in charge of planning, ran over to receive him warmly.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, you are welcome to come and give us guidance."
As soon as I said this, chairs, mineral water, etc. were all in place.
"Manager Liu, please give me a general introduction to the relevant circumstances of the reception. I only received the notification at noon, so many aspects are not very clear yet."
"You're too polite. Just call me Xiao Liu. Mr. Jiang, the scale of our reception is very large. Celebrities from all walks of life are present. The theme is to focus on the healthy growth of children. The corresponding activities include donations, charity sales, charity auctions, etc."
Jiang Kede nodded with great satisfaction: "Yes, very good. Are there any celebrities among the guests?"
Manager Liu knew that Jiang Kede was much more important than his sister Jiang Kexin and was the future successor of the Jiang family, so he was extra careful, hoping to leave a good impression on him.
So, he quickly took two steps closer and said with a smile: "Of course, if you have... other candidates, I will arrange for someone to contact you immediately."
"The key is that the image must be good and the reputation must be high enough. The company is currently considering spokespersons."
"I understand, I will take care of it immediately."
"Don't worry, let's go check on the fire department first. This is a top priority and cannot be neglected."
In fact, how could Jiang Kede know this? He was just pretending. After all, this was something his father Jiang Yongheng had specifically asked him to do. If he didn't go for a walk, he would definitely not be able to explain it when he got home.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, please come this way." Manager Liu replied.
After speaking, Manager Liu called the person in charge of safety and accompanied Jiang Kede to the area where fire protection facilities are stored.
The two cooperated with each other and introduced to Jiang Kede in detail the types of fire protection facilities, maintenance methods and emergency response measures.
During the visit, Jiang Kede looked very serious and asked Manager Liu about the details of the fire protection facilities from time to time. Manager Liu also answered one by one, fearing that he would miss any opportunity to express himself.
Next, Jiang Kede followed Manager Liu and other persons in charge to the guest rest area, where they conducted a series of communications, discussed in detail matters related to the reception, and listened to some of the better suggestions on the event process.
Before leaving, Jiang Kede inspected the scene again. Seeing that everything was so orderly, he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy and pride.
…
However, at ten o'clock in the evening, a sudden fire plunged the entire venue into chaos.
After Jiang Kede received the call, he rushed to the scene quickly, but he was frightened by what he saw. The billowing black smoke made him dare not act rashly, and he just kept talking to himself.
Compared with Jiang Kede's confusion, Jiang Kexin's performance was outstanding.
While fighting the fire, her arm was accidentally hit by fire equipment, leaving an obvious scratch. Despite this, she still gritted her teeth and persisted, making no move to back down.
When Jiang Yongheng arrived, the fire had been extinguished, but many decorations, reception supplies, and artworks were still damaged.
At this moment, Jiang Kexin sat on the ground tiredly, with a faint blush on her face.
Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, her hair was messy and stuck to her face, and her eyes showed determination and bravery.
"What were you doing at night? Your sister came earlier than you!" Jiang Yongheng said disappointedly.
"Dad, I..."
"I went drinking with those pig friends again. I reminded you at noon to be cautious and not to be careless, especially when it comes to firefighting. It's a good thing you've only taken over for a long time and you've caused such a big trouble."
Jiang Kede was filled with guilt because he knew that the fire might affect fundraising for charity and even affect the company's reputation and stock price.
But he did go to celebrate with his friends. After finally defeating his sister once, he was so excited that he spent a lot of money and planned to drink and have a good time.
In the face of scolding, he had no way to defend himself.
"Dad, I know it's all my fault. I will bear all the losses."
"You bear it, can you bear it?"
When Jiang Kexin saw this, she immediately stood up and took her father Jiang Yongheng's arm.
"Dad, actually my brother has tried his best. You see, he can come here from such a long distance and he is already very fast. Please stop scolding him. He didn't mean it."
"Look at my sister, she's injured and bleeding, and she's still saying nice things to you. What about you?"
After finishing speaking, Jiang Kede glanced at Jiang Kexin. Sure enough, there was a scratch on his arm, which was oozing blood at the moment.
After all, they are blood relatives. If his sister is injured, as an older brother, he will inevitably be touched.
"I will take my sister to the hospital now."
"No need, these are just superficial injuries. It's okay. I think the top priority is to deal with the aftermath. We still have time to make repairs."
As soon as Jiang Kexin said these words, she won the heart of her old father.
"Hey, in this case, you two brothers and sisters will deal with it together. Remember not to make any more mistakes and ensure that the event can be held as scheduled the night after tomorrow."
"Don't worry, Dad, I'll stay here tonight." Jiang Kexin answered first.
"Learn from your sister."
Jiang Yongheng said this and left.
But Jiang Kede, who was stunned on the spot, had a very bad guess. He suspected that his sister Jiang Kexin was secretly behind the fire.
He had obviously taken over everything, how could his sister get the news so quickly.
Damn it, he is so vicious!
At the same time, a bigger crisis is still waiting for him. Jiang Kexin's friends have anonymously posted a set of pictures on the Internet.
There is Jiang Kede, and there is Jiang Kexin.
Jiang Kede's performance at the fire scene has attracted widespread attention, and comments on the Internet have been pouring in.
——What was the person in charge doing at that time?
——It is rumored that Jiang Kede is just a playboy. How can he be qualified for such an important position?
——Mr. Jiang is so unlucky at handling problems? "
——In the face of the same fire, my younger sister Jiang Kexin was remarkable. The difference was huge!
——But I heard that the successor is my brother.
There are more and more comments and comments, and they are becoming more and more intense. Overnight, there was an uproar on the Internet, and Jiang Kede's image deteriorated rapidly.
