Chapter 555: Public Opinion Storm, Removal of the Scumbag Sister (Part 2 or 3)
A drama where a son-in-law takes the blame for his wealthy wife?
This comment successfully attracted the attention of netizens.
[Who is his wife? Waiting for the scientific popularization.]
Well-known real estate company, key point: well-known!
【LMX, this is all I can do for you.】
Why use abbreviations? Can't we mention the name?
[Capital players and real estate tycoons can crush you and me with a flick of the finger. It's better to use abbreviations to save your life.]
"Then she's even more suspicious! Just imagine, how could a live-in son-in-law have the audacity to commit such a crime? If he didn't have someone backing him up, or if he was simply a tool, helpless, would he even take such a risk?"
Isn't it common for capitalists to find scapegoats these days? What a fuss!
What's there to be afraid of? LMX is Lou Mingxin. I told you, if she has the guts, she can run me over with her internet cable! Tsk~]
…
The Meng Zhiru incident initially spread from a niche forum to the circle of friends, and was only watched by a group of urban white-collar workers. Later, it was posted on Weibo by a busybody, but it was already nightfall at that time.
After several hours of brewing and fermentation, it finally exploded in the early morning.
And after that, the three words #楼明心# quietly climbed onto the list.
At that time, most office workers were already asleep, and the wealthy elites were either on health preservation mode or still enjoying themselves. In short, they knew nothing about what was happening on the Internet.
therefore--
The board was silent.
Lou’s public relations department also had no response.
This resulted in no one suppressing the hot search, and the three words "Lou Mingxin" were all over the Internet.
At that time, the person was lying in a jacuzzi in a hotel, taking a bath and tasting wine.
After leaving the police station, Lou Mingxin quickly calmed down.
Now, Meng Zhiru has become a useless chess piece and has no use value at all.
His overseas assets were also frozen by the police, leaving only an empty shell company, which was deserted in just one day.
As for the upcoming trial, Lou Mingxin was not planning to help. Meng Zhiru was doomed to die anyway, so she didn't have to worry about being retaliated against.
Since the relationship has already been broken, you might as well be even more ruthless.
As long as the news doesn't leak out and is concealed from the majority of shareholders and the board of directors, there will be no loss for her in this matter involving Meng Zhiru.
"Mr. Lou, are you done washing?" A man's slow and gentle voice came from outside the bathroom.
Lou Mingxin took a sip of red wine and said lazily, "Come in."
…
The next day, Lou Mingxin slept until she woke up naturally. The thin silk quilt slid to her chest, revealing her sexy shoulders.
"Mr. Lou, are you awake?" The man supported his head and looked at her lovingly.
Just as the atmosphere was getting heated up and the temperature of the two people was getting higher and higher, an untimely cell phone ringtone disturbed the beauty.
It's the secretary calling.
"Hello?" Lou Mingxin said in a bad tone.
"Boss Lou, something happened!"
A quarter of an hour later, Lou Mingxin hurried out of the hotel. She was wearing sunglasses and a headscarf. She was always particular about her appearance, but now her hair was disheveled and her collar was wrinkled.
The driver had been waiting on the side of the road for a long time.
"Go to the company, quickly."
"yes."
On the way, Lou Mingxin took out her mobile phone, opened Weibo, and entered the hot search list. Her name was the first one, and then #Lou Group# also became a hot search.
The driver saw that not only her hands were shaking, but her whole body was trembling, and asked worriedly: "Miss, are you okay?"
I don't know how long it took before the woman in the back seat responded calmly.
"fine."
But she saw all the insults and slander, humiliation and ridicule.
There are actually people who suspect Meng Zhiru of taking the blame for her? Absurd!
But there are more than one or two people saying this. When the voices grow louder and louder, it will become a trend that will draw more people in.
Then the fake will become real!
No, she couldn't let this go on any longer. She had to do something.
After the call ended, Lou Mingxin immediately called the public relations department——
"What are you doing for a living?! We've been making a fuss all night, and now you realize what's the point of the company keeping you?" He started by scolding them.
Then, "Listen carefully. I'm only going to say this once. Remove this trending search immediately. No matter how much it costs, suppress all that nonsense online. Then, draft a clarification statement and post it on the official website at an appropriate time. If necessary, you can also ask the legal department to issue a lawyer's letter. Finally, tell the risk management department to keep a close eye on the company's stock price!"
"But……"
"No buts! Do as I say!"
The PR manager had no choice but to agree.
What he wanted to say was that public opinion has already taken shape, and if pressure is applied, it will only backfire.
But Lou Mingxin didn't give him any chance to speak.
The manager could only grit his teeth and do as she said.
Hope it works...
At ten o'clock in the morning, the car stopped at the gate of Lou's Group.
By then, Lou Mingxin had sorted himself out and returned to his bright and powerful self as an adult.
But this performance only lasted for ten minutes. When she stepped into the conference room and faced a group of directors who were waiting for the opportunity, the pretended calmness completely disappeared.
"Dear uncles, I--" can explain.
Bang!
Before she could finish her words, a teacup flew towards her. If Lou Mingxin had not dodged quickly, blood would have been seen.
But the flying glass shards still hit the back of her feet, leaving two bloody marks.
"How dare you speak like that?!" The old director who had thrown the cup stood up, his expression stern and his eyes fierce. "As soon as the stock market opened today, the company's stock price plummeted to the limit. Look at all the good things you've done!!"
"Mr. Wang! It's not my fault that Meng Zhiru broke the law. You shouldn't take your anger out on me!" Lou Mingxin spoke each word clearly.
"It's not your fault? Okay! I want to ask, is Meng Zhiru your husband? Is he the son-in-law of the Lou family?!"
"……yes."
"Since he holds this position, you, as the president of Lou's Group, have an obligation to control his every word and action, so that it does not affect the company! Yes, he committed a crime, and you did not, but in the eyes of the outside world, you and your wife are one. Do you think you can escape responsibility?"
Lou Mingxin was speechless.
"Two months ago, you made a mistake in the negotiations in City A, and Jufeng Group refused to cooperate, which already caused losses to the company. How long has it been since then, and now this incident has happened again? Don't you think Lou's situation is bad enough?!"
"Director Wang, you can't say that. I warned everyone about the cooperation with Jufeng before we set out. We can only try, and there's no guarantee of success. Ultimately, we didn't reach a deal, so how can I be the only one to blame?!"
Director Wang shook his head, disappointment flashing in his eyes. "Even at this point, you're still shirking responsibility. You usually mind when people mention the predecessor, Mr. Lou, but today, I, Wang Qi, am here to tell you plainly—not only are you no match for him, but in terms of responsibility, you're miles behind Lou Mingyue!"
"Director Wang!" She suddenly raised her voice. "Let me remind you, think before you speak! Lou Mingyue died twenty years ago. No matter how much you miss her or praise her, there's no way she'd jump out and help the company solve its problems right now!"
"Wasn't it me who had to deal with this mess in the end? I've worked diligently all these years. Even if I haven't received any credit, I've certainly put in some hard work. You're being so ungrateful!"
Another director slammed the table in anger: "Shouldn't you be the one to clean up the mess you've made?! Do you think we should be grateful to you?"
Lou Mingxin couldn't believe it: "Do you think this is my fault alone?!"
"I failed to restrain my husband and protect the interests of the company. This is a mistake!"
"The second mistake was not to discover and deal with the fermentation of public opinion immediately!"
"You made a mistake, didn't reflect on yourself, didn't try to fix it, and instead made excuses in front of us, trying to shirk responsibility. Your attitude is terrible. This is the third mistake!"
"Lou Mingxin, what else do you have to say?!"
Mr. Wang: "I propose to remove the president!"
Lou Mingxin was struck by lightning.
"No...why are you deposing me?! Why?!"
"Your successive failures have put the company in a precarious position. Now, you're embroiled in a public outcry and scandal. You're unfit to continue serving as president of the Lou Group. The board of directors now exercises its authority to remove you. The vote begins now."
"Wait!" Lou Mingxin forced herself to remain calm, but if you looked closely, you would find that her entire body was shaking uncontrollably. "I'm also a shareholder of Lou Group. I don't agree with the dismissal!"
Director Wang scoffed, "Your equity isn't as much as ours combined. According to the principle of majority rule... your protest is invalid!"
"I still have Lou Mingyue! She's a member of the Lou family, she definitely won't agree to the CEO position falling into someone else's hands..."
Yesterday’s second and third updates were three thousand words.
The plot was a bit clunky, so it took me a while to write.
Today's first update will be at 12:40!
