Gu Xiao paused the anime and glanced at Chu An, who was clearly sulking. Her body relaxed and she leaned against the sofa.

She raised her eyes slightly. “I’m not angry. I just planned to teach Ji Gao a lesson.”

What’s more, in this incident, she had only started it by revealing a little information. She was not the one who did the rest.

Although she had been looking forward to Ji Gao going to jail, after seeing Ji Gao turn himself in, she understood that it was impossible for Ji Gao to go to jail.

Moreover… she had received a better reward.

“I’ve received news that because the impact of this incident is relatively bad, the official department related to business and finance plans to take back all the preferential policies they had previously given to the Ji Group.”

Previously, she only wanted to deal with Ji Gao and had never thought of touching the Ji Group, a behemoth. However, she never expected that Ji Gao’s matter would actually bring her such a surprise.

For the Ji Group, the 3.2 billion yuan compensation was not a big problem. The Ji Group was a big business, so the 3.2 billion yuan was not a big deal.

Now, the Ji Group had done a good job in stabilizing the public. Although there were still netizens who did not buy it and planned to be haters of the Ji Group for the rest of their lives, this was not a big problem for the Ji Group.

However, withdrawing the government’s preferential policies towards the Ji Group was definitely a fatal blow to the Ji Group.

In particular, the Ji Group would not be able to enjoy these benefits for the next ten years. The Ji Group’s days would probably be even worse after that.

It had to be known that it was rare for large companies to have not enjoyed benefits from government policies. Or rather, the policy dividends given by the government were the true source of confidence for a large company.

If they lost the policy dividends given by the government, it meant that it would be very difficult for this company to continue to improve in the future.

When this notice was really implemented, even if the Ji Group did not go downhill, it would probably not develop as steadily as before.

This was the real good news for Gu Xiao.

After Chu An heard Gu Xiao’s words, he immediately understood why Gu Xiao could still be so carefree when the Ji Group’s online reputation had improved. She looked completely unworried.

He reached out and pinched Gu Xiao’s cheek.

“How did you hear about this? Why don’t you tell me? I’ve been worried about it.”

Gu Xiao reached out and slapped the hand on her cheek away. Fortunately, Chu An let go quickly and hadn’t really been pinching Gu Xiao’s cheek. Otherwise, Gu Xiao wouldn’t know how painful it would be.

“I just heard the news from my brother and haven’t had the time to tell you.”

Ji Chen had not taken any action this time, but he had been paying attention to the progress of this matter and the situation at the Ji Group.

After hearing the news, Ji Chen immediately sent a message to Gu Xiao, which made Gu Xiao happy.

A hint of understanding flashed across Chu An’s eyes. “So it’s Brother Chen.” Then it wasn’t surprising that Gu Xiao knew about this.

After knowing that the Ji Group wouldn’t have a good ending, Chu An recalled the comments on the Internet that spoke up for the Ji Group, and he wasn’t so angry anymore. He even felt a little smug.

Even if the Ji Group could turn the tide and make up for their image in the eyes of the netizens, so what? Wouldn’t they still be taught a lesson by the government?

With this thought in mind, Chu An completely stopped paying attention to the news of the Ji Group. He pulled Gu Xiao into his arms and watched the anime with her.

Gradually, after watching it, Chu An realized that the animation Gu Xiao was watching seemed to be pretty good.

On this side, Gu Xiao and Chu An watched the anime comfortably, but on the side of Old Master Ji and the Ji Group, things weren’t too good.

On the second day after the notice regarding Ji Gao’s tax evasion was released, the relevant departments of business and finance also issued a statement retracting the preferential policies towards the Ji Group.

After this announcement was made, everyone in the Ji Group felt a sense of alarm.

The Ji Group’s reputation on the Internet was still good, but some sharp people had already seen something from this policy and quietly began to sell their shares of the Ji Group.

In just a few days, the Ji Group’s share price fell to an unprecedented number again.

Those in the Ji Group looked at this number and vomited blood in their hearts. They could not help but grit their teeth in hatred towards Ji Gao, who had caused all of this.

The shareholders of the Ji Group discussed for a while before looking for Old Master Ji again..
