Chapter 468 Misfortune for the Family!
"Chairman, although Yaoxing Media is just a small entertainment company, it still carries the name of our Shengshi Group. Besides, given President Sheng's status, her actions are seen by outsiders as representing the Shengshi Group. What she did this time is truly absurd!"
"Old Sheng, call Qianrui over. We can't keep protecting her like this now."
“…”
Sheng Jinghui remained silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh.
-
Sheng Qianrui's high heels made a crisp sound on the marble floor.
Her father's assistant suddenly called, and she drove back to the head office without even having breakfast after getting ready in the morning.
The corridor on the 66th floor of the Shengshi Group headquarters was deserted, and the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.
Sheng Qianrui had a bad feeling, but the online public opinion was so good last night, so it shouldn't be because of Yaoxing. Could it be that something went wrong at Shengshi headquarters?
Lost in thought, Sheng Qianrui quickly reached the conference room door. Her phone in her bag started vibrating incessantly. Just as she was about to take it out to check, the people inside seemed to sense it, and the conference room door opened, revealing her father's assistant.
"Miss, the chairman and the board members are already waiting for you."
The assistant stood at the conference room door, his expression strange.
Sheng Qianrui seemed to be deep in thought, gave a faint "hmm," and pushed open the heavy walnut wood door.
As soon as the door opened, twenty pairs of eyes shot out at it.
At the end of the long table, her father stood with his back to her in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his shoulders stiff.
The other directors sat on either side, their expressions varied: some were suppressing their anger, some were frowning and shaking their heads, and a few were glaring at her directly.
Sheng Qianrui's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately had a bad feeling.
"Dad, why did you call me here in such a hurry?"
Sheng Qianrui stood at the entrance, looking somewhat uneasily at Sheng Jinghui's back.
for a long time.
Seeing that the directors present were about to lose their temper, Sheng Jinghui turned around and looked at Sheng Qianrui with a face full of anger.
"You did a good job!"
"..."
Sheng Qianrui, confused, frowned: "Dad, what...did I do?"
Sheng Jinghui's face darkened abruptly. He turned on the TV in the conference room, and soon the day's hottest headlines began to be broadcast. The most eye-catching headline at the bottom was: "The rich heiress of a prosperous era hires a hitman to frame someone. Where is her conscience?"
The accompanying photos included not only blurred images of Sheng Qianrui and Zhang Dechang, but also images of Zhao Zhiqiang confessing at the police station.
Sheng Qianrui's pupils contracted, and a look of shock instantly appeared on her exquisitely made-up face: "This... how could this be?!"
"How could this be? Don't you know it yourself?"
Sheng Jinghui roared at her, veins bulging on his forehead: "Don't you know what you've done? Qianrui, you're so foolish!"
The television screen switched to a popular online video, playing a recording of Zhao Zhiqiang detailing how he was instructed by Sheng Qianrui to frame Xu Fangli.
The image shows only a small black shadow, but anyone who has seen Zhao Zhiqiang before can immediately recognize that the voice coming late is Zhao Zhiqiang himself.
"Ms. Sheng's lawyer, Zhang, came to me with 300,000 yuan in cash, saying that if I ruined Mr. Xu's book signing event and falsely accused her of plagiarism and causing my sister's death, I could have the money..."
Sheng Qianrui's face turned deathly pale, her fingers, painted with exquisite nail polish, dug tightly into her palms.
impossible!
How could Zhao Zhiqiang know it was her!
It was clearly Zhang Dechang who came forward, but she never showed her face from beginning to end!
Could it be Zhang Dechang...?
Sheng Qianrui was in a state of panic, her mind a jumble of thoughts, when the directors' cold snorts instantly pulled her back to reality.
"Last time, it was because you provoked President Han and framed his fiancée that our Shengshi Group's shares plummeted, resulting in a loss of over a billion yuan. We had just managed to catch our breath when you caused this kind of trouble again!"
"We used to think you were smart, but we never imagined you'd use that intelligence for scheming and plotting against others. What a disgrace to our family!"
"Look at the heir of the Han family, and then look at our Shengshi Group. How could we have such an heir!"
"We just received the latest news from the finance department: Yaoxing Media's stock price has hit the daily limit down, and its market value has evaporated by more than 20%. As a result, our Shengshi Group has once again been thrust into the spotlight, and the stock that Shengshi had worked so hard to recover is already showing signs of falling again!"
Chairman Zheng, second only to Sheng Jinghui, pointed at Sheng Qianrui and roared, "And all of this is because of you, Sheng Qianrui!"
“Our Shengshi Group has been losing money for years, and we are only keeping on by relying on the reputation we have accumulated over the years.”
Another director sighed and added, "If this matter is not handled properly, it's a small matter if Yaoxing is destroyed, but the real problem is that Shengshi Group will be implicated and suffer heavy losses."
"We just reached a cooperation agreement with Group X. What if they back out now because of this...?"
Before the director could finish speaking, everyone present had already fallen silent and sighed repeatedly.
Sheng Qianrui naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.
She entrusted this matter to Zhang Dechang, firstly because she believed that as a senior lawyer, he would be careful and cautious in handling matters, and secondly because if something went wrong, Zhang Dechang's involvement would not implicate her.
At that time, she could simply step in and take the blame to quell public opinion.
But she never expected things to develop to this point, with Zhao Zhiqiang directly accusing her.
Having worked in the entertainment industry for so long, she knows those media outlets and reporters all too well.
In their hearts, they only care about the sensationalism and traffic of news, and they don't care about whether it's true or false.
If the mastermind behind this incident were just a lawyer, it wouldn't have caused such a sensation. But if it were the general manager of Yaoxing Media and the daughter of Shengshi Group, it would be a completely different story.
Therefore, the media were happy to see things develop this way, and they didn't care at all that she had never even met Zhao Zhiqiang!
Watching the entertainment news constantly scrolling on TV, Sheng Qianrui's face began to turn pale with anxiety.
She looked at her father in a panic, but only saw his cold back.
"At this point, the board's opinion is very clear."
Chairman Zheng adjusted his glasses and said, "President Sheng, you must immediately resign from all positions at Yaoxing Media and issue a public apology."
"Why?!"
Sheng Qianrui clenched the bag in her hand, deforming the bag worth hundreds of thousands of yuan in her grasp.
"I told you, I didn't do these things, it was Zhang Dechang! Those people online are making baseless accusations, and you're targeting me too?!"
"Aimed at you?"
Chairman Zheng's face darkened: "President Sheng has no idea who Zhang Dechang is working for or who he works for!"
"..."
