Chapter 479 The Biggest Winner, Xiao Ru (Part 3)
The other end was stunned.
Yu Shangmei: "I asked you to go to Linhuai to destroy Jiangji, not to make a fool of yourself!"
"Aunt, I..."
"Did you know that the old man surnamed Wu has come to force me out? Three days. If this crisis can't be resolved within three days, he will join forces with the other directors to remove me as chairman!"
"Sorry, I didn't expect that..."
"What's the point of an apology?! The entire internet is full of negative reviews about Cao Ji. Many old customers have even called to express their disappointment in us. People are unfollowing us on Weibo and turning against us!"
Liu Shanhua stopped talking.
However, Yu Shangmei had no intention of letting him go: "I know you agreed to transfer to Linhuai on the surface, but you are still not happy about it in your heart. But there is no need to put on such a scene for me!"
"Aunt, what do you mean by that?" Liu Shanhua's voice tightened. "Do you suspect I did it on purpose?"
"Aren't you worthy of suspicion?!" Yu Shangmei blurted out.
At that moment, Liu Shanhua's heart completely sank.
So, after working like a slave for so many years, this is how I am treated?
Yu Shangmei also reacted and realized that she had actually spoken out her true feelings in anger.
She tried to make amends: "Shanhua, my aunt is not..."
"Don't say anymore!" The voice on the other end suddenly raised its tone and interrupted her. "Actually, I should have seen through it a long time ago. From the beginning to the end, you never treated me as a family member."
In fact, in her eyes, he was not even her nephew, but just a worker for Cao Ji, a useful labor force.
Seeing him being so ungrateful and still daring to question her, Yu Shangmei was immediately furious: "Stop talking nonsense. We are discussing the terrible things you did!"
"Aunt, are you sure it was me?" The other end scoffed. "If you had listened to my advice back then, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. Linhuai isn't suitable for opening a branch, and even if you did, Tianxing Plaza wouldn't be the right location. You have a grudge and want to make Jiang Da unhappy, and now that something's wrong, you're blaming me?"
"Yes, these things were indeed done by me, but if it weren't for your instructions, would I have made such a stupid move?"
It was the first time Yu Shangmei was contradicted by him like this: "You mean it's all my fault?!"
"You have to take at least 50% of the responsibility." On the other end, Liu Shanhua's face was expressionless.
"Do you know what you're talking about?! It's clearly your fault, but now you're denying it and trying to put the blame on me. Shanhua, you truly are my nephew!"
The other end laughed, "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. I know the purpose of your call."
The woman's eyes flashed.
Liu Shanhua: "It's nothing more than making me a scapegoat to appease the anger of netizens and restore Cao Ji's reputation. After all, I've been by your side for so many years, and I know your consistent style."
He spoke calmly and without any disturbance, but Yu Shangmei was shocked: "You——"
"I agree."
"……What?"
"I agree to be the scapegoat, but," he changed the subject, "I can't do it for nothing."
"What do you want? If it's the CEO of the Asia-Pacific region, I..." I have no say.
Before she could finish her words, Liu Shanhua chuckled, "Auntie, do you think that after this incident, I will continue to stay at Caoji and work like a slave for you?"
Yu Shangmei's heart skipped a beat: "You want to resign?!"
"Isn't this exactly what you want? I'll satisfy you. But I won't take the blame and leave in vain."
The woman said in a deep voice: "What do you want?"
"Eight million, either in cash or by bank transfer. I'll issue a statement when the money arrives."
"Eight million?! Are you crazy?!"
"Aunt, I am more awake than ever now."
"You're blackmailing me! Blackmailing me! You're asking for too much!"
"Isn't everything I've done for Cao's over the years, running around and doing everything inside and outside, worth eight million?"
Yu Shangmei choked: "...They are each their own, you can't just count them like that."
Liu Shanhua understood, and she was reluctant to part with the money.
How blind was I before?
He couldn't help but doubt.
"Okay," he said with a mocking smile, "Then let's just waste time. I'm going to hang on first."
"etc--"
Liu Shanhua paused and stayed on the line.
Yu Shangmei finally had to face his request. After an unknown amount of time, perhaps a second or perhaps ten minutes, she gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay!"
Liu Shanhua was not surprised by this and said calmly: "When the money arrives, the statement will be issued. The decision is in your hands."
After saying that, he hung up.
Yu Shangmei never thought that one day her obedient nephew would actually bite her back.
She took a deep breath to calm her anger, and finally had to take out her cell phone and call the bank to ask them to process the transfer.
Two hours later, when the eight million were received, a statement quietly appeared on Weibo.
Since the person involved personally took part in the event, it quickly attracted a large number of netizens who came to watch.
The content is very simple, less than three lines in a paragraph, covering two points in total:
First, smearing Jiang Ji was Liu Shanhua’s personal behavior and had nothing to do with Cao Ji.
Second, we apologize to Jiangji for being hurt, and ask the former boss to take care of himself.
The last sentence, "take care of yourself", is quite meaningful.
That's the end of the matter.
Liu Shanhua was scolded to death, and although Cao Ji tried to distance itself from the matter, the damage caused to its brand and reputation by this crisis was ultimately irreversible.
As the biggest winner, Jiang Ji not only made a name for itself, but the family of four also became well-known to netizens across the country.
…
Imperial capital, Han family.
The old man looked at the photo in front of him, his hands trembling slightly, and he murmured, "Is it... Xiaoru?"
Three updates of 2,000 words.
