Rebirth in 90s: Rip Apart the Sacrificial Pawn Script

Yang Yajing felt her life was utterly worthless—single at 36; meager salary absolutely insufficient to cover her mother's medical expenses.

Her best friend not only stole the man she...

Chapter 117 No Choice

Therefore, Jiang Jucai's only option now is to make his beloved daughter the victim and sue Wei Baoquan!

However, after questioning her, he learned that his daughter had done something wrong, and if it were exposed, it wouldn't be as simple as just being detained; she might end up in jail.

So the lawsuit was a false one, and in the end, it was decided to settle the matter privately.

Private mediation is nothing more than using money to settle disputes. Neither the Jiang family nor the Wei family had a valid point, so they agreed not to bring up the matter again.

On one hand, they feared their son would become a rapist, and on the other hand, they feared their daughter would become the instigator of intentional injury. Each of them held leverage over the other, so this was the only way they could manage.

And so, the farce came to an end.

Although the private drama seemed to be resolved, the company's credibility was questioned, and the Jiang family's stock plummeted to its daily limit the next day.

When stocks drop, even a small thing can wipe out 10% of your investment, but it takes a lot of effort to recover that 10%.

Just like being sick, illness comes like a landslide, but recovery is like pulling silk from a cocoon.

Just as they were starting to curry favor with the Xia family, this incident happened in the Jiang family. This prompted the Xia family to reprimand Jiang Jucai, telling him to mind his own business.

In order to fulfill his promise to the Jiang family that the stock price would be restored within six months, Jiang Jucai spent the next few days hosting lavish banquets, frantically trying to build relationships and secure cooperation.

These banquets, of course, all took place at that club. This extravagant spending of public funds after the budget was reduced provided Zhong Aiguo with grounds for investigation.

After Zhong Aiguo finished writing the report, he did not submit it for approval directly, but instead asked Xia Changlong to review it first.

Xia Changlong glanced at it and added a few entries to the investigation company.

"Chairman Xia? What's going on? Why did you get yourself involved?" Zhong Aiguo was confused.

"To shed one's shell, one must first be inside the shell to clean oneself up, right?" The old cunning man is indeed cunning; he can be ruthless even to himself.
