Chapter 181 My wife must be terrified today, I need to go home and be with her.

Shengrui's public relations department responded positively at the first opportunity.

President Jing Muchi personally apologized to the public, especially to the deceased and injured workers and their families, for the accident, and promised that Shengrui would take full responsibility for the accident, no matter what caused it.

Shengrui Company's legal and charitable teams also urgently established a claims team after the accident to discuss compensation and treatment matters with the families of the deceased workers, as well as the injured and their families receiving treatment in the hospital.

The top trending topics online were almost entirely dominated by news of the accident and Shengrui's series of responses.

Despite the significant impact of the incident, the public largely approves of Shengrui's public admission of responsibility and its swift and proactive response and remedial measures in response to the accident.

At least, their first reaction after the accident was to bravely take responsibility, rather than shirk it.

When Shi Yuanxing didn't return that night, Qin Shuzhi kept her phone in her hand all night. She didn't dare to disturb Shi Yuanxing, so she could only keep refreshing the trending topics to see how things were developing.

Around 10 o'clock, Shi Yuanxing called her and told her that he might be home very late tonight, and that she didn't need to worry or wait for him, and should get some rest.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Shuzhi took a shower. When she came back and checked her phone, she saw a dark red trending topic on the hot search list.

#The mysterious boss behind Shengrui is the heir of the Shi family#

Upon seeing this information, Qin Shuzhi's pupils suddenly dilated.

how so?

Not many people know Shi Yuanxing's true identity. Who leaked his information?

*

Inside the president's office of Shengrui Company.

Jing Muchi narrowed his eyes sharply as he looked at the explosive news and glanced at the person sitting on the sofa.

"This looks like it's aimed at you?"

The revelation that Shi Yuanxing was the behind-the-scenes boss of Shengrui Company did not have a significant impact on him; at most, people just watched the drama unfold.

However, if the board of directors of Shi's Group finds out that he is the boss of Shengrui, and now that Xingwei products have had an accident at Shengrui's premises, then the impact of this incident on Shi's Group will probably be entirely blamed on Shi Yuanxing.

"Clearly, someone's trying to get you." Jing Muchi leaned back in his chair, raising an eyebrow at Shi Yuanxing. "What are your thoughts?"

Since it was caused by human intervention, this incident was not an accident.

Shi Yuanxing, with a cold and stern expression, met his gaze and was about to speak when his phone rang.

It was Shi Hongzhen, who was abroad, who called.

Shi Yuanxing answered the phone, "Dad."

Shi Hongzhen's deep and steady voice came through, "With things developing like this, can you handle it? Do you need me to step in?"

Shi Yuanxing knew that he was asking whether he could handle the board of directors after his identity was exposed.

"No need, don't worry, I can handle it."

Shi Hongzhen: "Okay."

After a moment of silence, he said again, "Being in a predicament isn't all bad. It's also an opportunity to hone and showcase your abilities. Do your best."

Shi Yuanxing understood what he meant.

Shi Hongzhen suddenly stepped down and handed the group over to his two children. Although the board members did not say it, some of them were still dissatisfied.

After all, the siblings are still very young, especially him, who has been back in the group for less than a year. To some people, that means he lacks seniority.

He needs to prove his abilities.

"Don't worry, I understand."

After ending the call with Shi Hongzhen, Shi Yuanxing racked his brains. He realized that Shi Hongzhen had the ability to find out about his relationship with Sheng Rui, and that he also had access to the core of the project and wanted to bring him down...

I estimate there's only one person left.

Shi Yuanxing's eyes darkened into a deep murmur. After a moment of contemplation, he said to Jing Muchi, "If this was done by someone, then the other party would definitely have left traces."

"What we need most right now is evidence."

The accident scene, the malfunctioning electronic detector, and all indirect or direct people or events related to this incident could provide a breakthrough.

The brothers had developed a tacit understanding over the years, and Jing Muchi understood his words perfectly. He nodded and said, "Leave the company's affairs to me. You go and deal with the internal matters of your Shi Group first."

It was Shi Yuanxing who advocated for bringing forward Shengrui's eastward development plan. Now, because of him, Shengrui has been pushed into the spotlight. Shi Yuanxing glanced at Jing Muchi and said, "I'm sorry."

Jing Muchi paused for a moment, then rolled his eyes at him, "Are you sick in the head?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuanxing swallowed back the "thank you" he was about to say.

It's really cheesy to say these things between brothers.

Just then, Jing Muchi's phone rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was the public relations director calling.

Jing Muchi turned on speakerphone, and a male voice immediately came from the other end, "Mr. Jing, what's being said online... is it true?"

Jing Muchi, "Which matter are you referring to?"

"It's... Mr. Xiao from the Shi Group, he really is..."

Jing Muchi glanced at the person on the sofa. "Yes, he is another boss of our company."

A deep breath was clearly heard from the other end.

"Well... do you think we should issue a statement? Also, do we need to control the online public opinion?"

Jing Muchi looked towards Shi Yuanxing, waiting to see what he would do.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Yuanxing said, "Have the company issue a statement to officially reveal my identity. As for the online opinions, we don't need to pay attention to them."

The person on the other end recognized Shi Yuanxing's voice and immediately replied, "Yes, Mr. Shi."

After hanging up the phone, Jing Muchi glanced at the time. "Alright, that's enough for tonight. My wife must have been terrified today, I need to go home and be with her."

The thought of Sang Ning calling Shi Yuanxing today because she was worried about him made Jing Muchi's voice brighten.

Shi Yuanxing was also thinking about Qin Shuzhi, so he got up and left with him, each going home.

When Shi Yuanxing got home, it was already past 1 a.m.

He quietly pushed open the bedroom door and stepped inside. He found the bedroom light on, and Qin Shuzhi, wearing a nightgown, was asleep on the sofa, her hand loosely holding her phone, which was resting on a cushion.

She's been working really hard lately, and I guess she was waiting for him and couldn't stay awake any longer, so she fell asleep.

Shi Yuan walked closer and looked at her sleeping face, a pang of heartache flashing in his eyes. He bent down to carry her to bed, but as soon as he reached out, she opened her eyes drowsily. When she saw him, her eyes instantly became clear.

"You're back?"

"Hmm." Seeing that she was awake, Shi Yuanxing sat down next to her and pulled her nightgown up for her. "Didn't I tell you to go to sleep first? Why did you fall asleep sitting here?"

Qin Shuzhi didn't care about that; she just looked at him with concern. "Your identity has been exposed online. Won't that make you more passive in this matter?"
