Chapter 316 In the future, the entire Sheng family will belong to her.
"Wrapped up like that, he must have been beaten by the wife."
"How dare she come here? She's really tarnishing the reputation of our entire public relations department."
"How dare she compete with Miss Tong for a man? Doesn't she know her place?"
"Sheng Weiwei is really good at attracting negative attention. Two rumors have surfaced in just three days. It's all because she's too beautiful."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our sister Weiwei didn't do anything!" Lin Xiaoli glared at the crowd protectively and shouted back.
Suddenly, Chairman Sheng appeared. The people who had been whispering just moments before were so frightened that they jumped up from their chairs, stood up straight, and fell silent.
Shi Li reacted the fastest, immediately putting on a professional smile and going to greet him.
"Chairman Sheng, what brings you here?"
Sheng Chengjun's sharp gaze swept over her indifferently, his tone so cold it could drop ice shards.
"If I hadn't come, this place would have turned upside down."
That one sentence froze the air in the entire office.
Everyone held their breath, lowered their heads, and dared not make the slightest sound.
Sheng Chengjun's gaze swept over the crowd and finally landed on Sheng Weiwei.
His gaze lingered on her bandaged right hand for a moment, his eyes revealing no emotion.
He coldly uttered a few words.
"You, come in with me."
Sheng Chengjun turned and went into the conference room.
Sheng Weiwei silently followed her inside and casually closed the door behind her.
General Secretary Shen Yi stood like a gatekeeper, expressionless, blocking all inquiring gazes.
In the office, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
"Oh no, oh no, the chairman is going to personally tear her apart!"
"Definitely, the scandal has blown up so big, she has ruined the company's reputation."
"The main problem is that we offended President Bai. In the investment world, President Bai's every move is influential. If he's unhappy, all of our company's upcoming projects will be canceled."
"She's had the worst luck imaginable. She brought this upon herself, and now we're all going to be eating dirt."
The meeting room door closed.
The cold, authoritative look on Sheng Chengjun's face vanished instantly, replaced by an undisguised heartache.
He carefully lifted her injured right hand, his voice trembling.
"Does it still hurt?"
Sheng Weiwei simply shook her head.
"Was it that woman surnamed Tong who did it?" Sheng Chengjun asked angrily.
"Dad, it's just a minor injury. Don't worry, I'll show you something."
She took out her phone, unlocked it, opened something, and handed it to Sheng Chengjun.
Sheng Chengjun looked down.
With just one glance, his expression changed drastically, and his eyes surged with boundless rage.
The two chatted for a while before he walked out with his hands behind his back.
His face was extremely somber, and he left without saying a word.
This move left everyone outside, who were craning their necks to watch, completely dumbfounded.
That's it?
it's over?
Unable to contain herself, Shi Li walked up to Sheng Weiwei in her high heels, a feigned concern on her face.
"What did the chairman say to you?"
Sheng Weiwei raised her eyes, her voice carrying just the right amount of grievance.
"He told me to quell the rumors as soon as possible, or else... he would make me leave the company."
Shi Li's eyes were practically brimming with schadenfreude, but he still pretended to be a good person.
"I knew it, the chairman still values old friendships. You should apologize to Miss Tong properly, after all, tomorrow is Mr. Bai and Miss Tong's engagement banquet."
She deliberately lowered her voice and moved closer.
"Don't make them unhappy at this critical juncture."
These words, seemingly meant to persuade, were actually a way of firmly pinning the blame for being a "mistress" on Sheng Weiwei.
Sheng Weiwei listened quietly, then suddenly added another sentence.
"Oh, by the way, the chairman also said that all projects in the investment department should be suspended until the matter is completely resolved."
Shi Li's smile froze instantly.
Her eyes narrowed, and she lost her composure.
"What? What does your rumor have to do with the investment department?!"
Sheng Weiwei tossed her hair, her nonchalant tone infuriating.
"Why is Director Shi reacting so strongly to the investment department's matter?"
She smiled and continued,
"Mr. Bai is a god in the investment world. If he's unhappy, all the projects in our investment department will be affected. I think the chairman is trying to minimize the company's losses."
Shi Li's expression changed repeatedly before she finally squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.
"Then why don't you go apologize quickly?"
Sheng Weiwei glanced at her sideways and gave a slight smirk.
"My hand hurts."
I'm not in the mood today.
Shi Li: "..."
Her chest heaved with anger. She glared fiercely at Sheng Weiwei, gritted her teeth, and turned to walk into her office.
The door slammed shut with a bang.
She quickly took out her phone, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she sent a message.
...
The midday sun was a bit dazzling.
In the coffee shop, Shi Li wrapped herself up tightly, with a scarf around her head and sunglasses covering her face, making her look mysterious.
She stirred her coffee, feeling somewhat agitated.
Suddenly, a figure landed on the seat opposite her.
Shi Li looked up, her heart skipping a beat.
It's Sheng Weiwei.
"Sheng Weiwei, what are you doing here?"
Sheng Weiwei curled her lips into a smile and leaned back comfortably into the sofa.
"Of course I'm waiting for you. Stop looking, Mr. Jin isn't coming."
Shi Li pretended not to understand, "What do you mean? I just wanted to have a cup of coffee. The coffee here is pretty good."
Sheng Weiwei didn't say anything, but took out two contracts from her bag and gently placed them on the table.
These are two key projects overseen by Mr. Jin of the investment department: one is an investment in intelligent aircraft, and the other is an AI dating app.
Shi Li's eyes narrowed suddenly.
Why are you giving me this?
“This is your golden opportunity.” Sheng Weiwei tapped the contract cover with her finger. “You used your position to introduce investment bigwigs to President Jin, and then secretly invested the money into your own company.”
She spoke slowly, but every word struck Shi Li's heart.
"I bet that guy who did the background check before was one of your guys, right? That's why you got away with it so easily."
"After that guy was exposed, your path was cut off. That's why you took the risk and did something big, a billion-dollar smart aircraft project. You guys have quite the appetite."
Sheng Weiwei's eyes were sharp, making Shi Li feel intimidated.
"Sheng Weiwei, stop spouting nonsense! I don't know what you're talking about!" Shi Li raised her voice, feigning composure.
"I've been wondering what grudge I have against you that would make you risk spreading the photos of me and President Bai."
Sheng Weiwei crossed her arms, looking confident and composed.
"You're trying to use Miss Tong to deal with me, aren't you?"
Shi Li's heart trembled violently.
How did she find out so quickly?
The photo was indeed taken on a whim.
Previously, when Sheng Weiwei was in the business department, she investigated the science museum project and eliminated their ally who was being investigated. She had been holding a grudge ever since.
"What do you want?" Shi Li finally spoke, tearing off her headscarf and sunglasses to reveal her true colors.
“You’ve made so much money, it’s not unreasonable for me to take a small share,” Sheng Weiwei said directly.
Shi Li's lips curled into a cold smile.
So, all they wanted was money.
How many do you want?
"Five million," Sheng Weiwei said casually. "After I take the money, I'll go abroad for fun, and then we'll have nothing to do with each other."
"Why should I trust you?" Shi Li was afraid that she would continue to make exorbitant demands after getting the money.
"Do you still have a choice?" Sheng Weiwei raised an eyebrow. "Give me the money, and you'll keep your secret and your high-paying jobs at Sheng's."
"No matter how you look at it, this is a win-win situation."
After Sheng Weiwei finished speaking, she directly opened her phone's photo album, pulled out a screenshot of the bank account number, and placed it in front of her.
This woman actually dared to ask her for five million!
Extorting five million is enough to keep her in jail for a long time.
Shi Li pondered this in her mind, then picked up her phone and began to operate it.
Even before Sheng Weiwei handed over the contract, she had been using another phone to keep in touch with President Jin.
Mr. Jin had just sent her a few words: "Accused of extortion, I'm calling the police," and she readily decided to transfer the money.
"bite."
A crisp notification sound rang out, and Sheng Weiwei's account showed that five million had been deposited.
She smiled and said, "Director Shi, thank you for your generosity."
She put away her phone and turned to leave.
Suddenly, several people in police uniforms walked in.
Shi Li stood up and said to the police officer, "Officer, I called the police. This woman extorted five million from me, and the evidence is on my phone."
The police officer walked over, his gaze sweeping between the two men, and asked a question.
"Which one of you is Sheng Weiwei, and which one is Shi Li?"
"I'm Shi Li, my boyfriend called the police," Shi Li said first, then pointed to Sheng Weiwei, "She's Sheng Weiwei, the one who extorted me is her."
The police officer nodded, took out handcuffs, and cuffed Shi Li's wrists.
Shi Li flinched in fright. "Officer, you've arrested the wrong person! She's the one who's extorting money, not me!"
"That's right, we're arresting you." The police officer's tone was flat. "Shi Li, you are suspected of embezzlement and bribery, and the amount is huge. Please come with us to assist in the investigation."
Just then, Shen Yi walked in.
Shi Li felt as if she had met a savior and shouted out.
"Assistant Shen, help me! It's Sheng Weiwei who broke the law; she just extorted five million from me!"
Shen Yi wore a polite smile on his face.
"Director Shi, you're joking. How could our young lady possibly care about a mere five million? In the future, the entire Sheng Group will be hers."
Shi Li was completely dumbfounded.
Miss Sheng?
Sheng Weiwei is the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, how could that be?
Shen Yi added, "Jin Shihui has already been taken away. You'd better explain yourself properly. Blame it on you for spreading rumors about the young lady. The chairman is very angry this time, and Sheng's legal team will definitely not show any mercy."
"No, it wasn't me!" Shi Li shouted as the police took her away.
"Assistant Shen, thank you for your hard work," Sheng Weiwei said.
"Miss, you've removed two major scourges from the group this time, and the chairman is very satisfied. Would you like to return to the public relations department?"
“Of course.” Sheng Weiwei smiled, turned and walked outside, “I’ll have the old man promote me.”
...
When Sheng Weiwei returned home that evening, Gu Xingnian was playing with her two daughters.
Dad stood in the dining room with a gloomy expression, radiating a low-pressure atmosphere, staring intently at the direction of the kitchen.
Sheng Weiwei followed his gaze and saw Jiang Cheng and her mother in the kitchen.
Her heart skipped a beat.
I understand.
The old man is jealous.
Sheng Weiwei quietly walked over and put her arm around Sheng Chengjun's shoulder.
"Dad, relax and calm down."
"A handsome, wealthy, capable, and physically strong man like you is no match for an average young man."
Sheng Chengjun's body remained stiff as he managed to squeeze out a few words through clenched teeth.
"This brat can't seduce you, so now he's trying to seduce your mother!"
His chin was taut into a cold, hard arc.
"You... now, immediately, right now, get him out of here."
Sheng Weiwei couldn't help but laugh, which made the wound on her chest ache a little.
She quickly calmed down.
"Old man, you're overthinking it."
"He couldn't seduce my mother either; at most... he just wanted to be your son."
son?
Sheng Chengjun's eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown, clearly not understanding the joke.
Just then.
"Ah!" came Sheng Ma's scream from the kitchen. Her fingertips were bright red from being burned by the edge of the pot.
The next second, Jiang Cheng had already grasped her hand.
He lowered his head, his expression focused, and completely enveloped his mother's fingers with both hands.
A cool, refreshing sensation instantly seeped into the skin, and the burning pain quickly dissipated.
Mrs. Sheng looked up at him in surprise, and he was looking at her too.
The two held hands, motionless, very close to each other.
In Sheng Chengjun's eyes, the scene was extremely ambiguous.
"You little brat!" came a furious roar.
Sheng Chengjun rushed in and grabbed Jiang Cheng by the collar, his actions were frighteningly rough.
He swung his fist, his arm muscles bulging, about to strike Jiang Cheng's handsome face.
In the blink of an eye.
"dad."
"dad."
"dad."
Three "Dad"s rang out simultaneously.
Sheng Weiwei and Gu Xingnian had already rushed over from the restaurant...
