Chapter 2051 Wage Arrears
Meanwhile, Be, dragging her weary body, went to the office.
Originally, Elisa’s intention was for Be to rest well at home first.
However, every time Be closed her eyes, all she could see was Rachel lying lifelessly in the hospital
bed, hooked up to a respirator. Either that or she would see Elisa overwhelmed with grief. As a result,
Be couldn’t sleep.
Just then, her subordinate called to report an issue at thepany. Apparently, one of the subsidiary
companies had defaulted on their project payments. They hadn’t settled their dues with the workers
and had simply vanished.
Wage arrears were a serious issue.
Be didn’t even have time to catch her breath at home and went straight to thepany.
Thepany entrance was swarmed by the media, all vying to get ahead of each other. They were so
eager to rush into the building and interview the person in charge that they would even risk getting
trampled.
After all, for such a high-endpany, the urrence of that kind of ident was a very serious
matter.
Even though it was just a subsidiarypany, oftentimes, it was the reputation of the parentpany
that was at stake.
To give a simple example, the parentpany was like a ssroom, and the subsidiaries were the
students. within it.
Outside, students represented the image of their ss.
Thus, when a student made a mistake outside, the first thing people thought of was that there was a
problem with the ss, not the individual.
The same could be applied to Bt Corporation. Those who were popr were more likely to be
targeted, and Bt Corporation was a prominentpany. No trouble had arisen when Elisa was in
charge.
Even though Elisa had just stepped away, there were already people eager to stir up trouble. It was
truly infuriating.
If the situation was mishandled even slightly, not only would the brand image plummet drastically, but it
could also directly impact thepany’s stock price.

If that happened, thepany would be in a precarious situation.
Be had no prior experience dealing with such matters, but she was determined to handle the
situation. well.
She had to.
Otherwise, a slight mistake on her part could lead to irreversible consequences.
Be’s car pulled up at the entrance of the building, attracting a swarm of reporters like bees to honey.
“Ms. Wickam, what is your view on this issue of wage arrears for migrant workers?”
“I heard that Ms. Bt is in the hospital. Is she genuinely unwell or just feigning illness to avoid this
incident?”
“Ms. Wickam, in regards to this matter, does yourpany bear any responsibility for inadequate
supervision? How do you n to address this?”
Those journalists not only spoke sharply but also unpleasantly.
The microphones were practically being thrust into Be’s mouth, and cameras were almost shoved in
her face to capture every moment.
Security quickly came over to maintain order, and Be struggled to walk through the human walls
formed by the security guards.
Just when she was about to break through the crowd and enter thepany, a pair of giant hands,
slightly calloused, grasped hers.
Be lifted her gaze and saw Mike.
Mike wore a neutral expression, though the slight downturn of his lips indicated that he probably wasn’t
in the best of moods.
Still, he pulled Be out of the encirclement.
As they started to run, the wind hit their faces, blowing strands of hair. As Be stared at Mike’s figure,
she experienced a peculiar emotion for the first time.
After much difficulty, the duo finally escaped. The gate was tightly shut, and thest bit of noise was
isted.
Only then was Be able to look directly at Mike.
However, before she could speak, Mike beat her to it.
He knitted his eyebrows, likely angry, and his tone was far from pleasant. “Why did youe? Don’t
you know it’s dangerous right now?”
