The saying goes, "Everyone sweeps the snow from their own doorstep and doesn't care about the frost on someone else's roof." This saying perfectly describes the current situation of the board members of Mingxuan Group.
No one mentioned what had happened to Zhu Junwei. Even though they didn't know that the case Zhu Junwei was involved in was related to the young master of the Yan family.
At this moment, all they care about is the plummeting stock price of Mingxuan Group. If a powerful figure doesn't step in, Mingxuan is likely to collapse.
"Fifth Miss, Mingxuan Group's stock price is plummeting. Right now, besides you, no one else in your family can take charge. What do you think..."
The person who spoke was one of Zhu Qianying's paternal uncles or something similar; in any case, Zhu Qianying couldn't remember what his exact address was.
It wasn't that she was disrespectful to her elders; rather, this group of people had never taken her seriously before, and she wasn't the type to deliberately try to please others. Therefore, she basically didn't know these uncles and elders.
“Sir, I don’t recall having any connection with Mingxuan Group.”
Zhu Qianying smiled politely at the gentleman, but the distance and boundaries in her words were clear to everyone.
"Fifth Miss, that's not right of you. No matter what, that's the business that your father and your brothers have worked so hard to maintain. Are you just going to watch it decline or even go bankrupt?"
That person probably has some influence on the board of directors, or perhaps they're relying on their seniority to gain influence.
Zhu Qianying couldn't help but chuckle. She raised an eyebrow and smiled at the person who was questioning her.
"Oh? So it seems I was in the wrong?"
The man nodded with an air of righteous indignation, “Of course, as a member of the Zhu family, how can you sit idly by while Mingxuan is in trouble?”
Zhu Qianying shook her head good-naturedly and denied it, saying, "You're wrong. It's not that I'm sitting idly by, but rather that it's not my place to interfere! How many years has this gentleman been with Mingxuan Group?"
The man, unsuspecting, honestly replied, "It's been almost twenty years."
"Then tell me, in the past twenty years, what has Mingxuan Group ever had to do with me, Zhu Qianying?"
The man was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and found it difficult to answer.
"Since it had nothing to do with me in the past, why should it have anything to do with me now?"
The man was speechless.
"Please leave, everyone. The affairs of Mingxuan Group and the Zhu family are none of my business. Although I share the surname Zhu, I have no further connection with the Zhu family."
It's not that Zhu Qianying spoke so heartlessly; it's just that the Zhu family has always been ruthless towards her and her two daughters.
The people in the reception room were left bewildered by Zhu Qianying's sharp retort. By the time they came to their senses, Zhu Qianying had already stormed off.
Yan Shao, though accompanying Zhu Qianying the entire time, remained silent. He believed that Zhu Qianying could handle such a small matter on her own.
"Ying'er, do you really not want to bring Mingxuan over?"
Yan Shao was actually a little puzzled. He had always thought that Zhu Qianying had secretly bought so many shares of Mingxuan Group because she was thinking of one day taking control of Mingxuan.
Zhu Qianying pouted, "The reason these people came to ask me to go back and take charge today is because of you. After all, if I go back to Mingxuan, you can't just ignore my affairs. I don't think they really want to hand over Mingxuan to me. If I go back, I'll just be used as a pawn by them."
Yan Shao nodded, indicating that he agreed with her opinion.
"Yes, this is definitely not a good time."
The two only mentioned the directors of Mingxuan Group to this point, and then went to the 26th floor to check on the renovation progress of the studio. No one took the matter to heart.
Having been rebuffed by Zhu Qianying, the board members opted to seek help from Zhu Haoming instead.
They were of course unaware that Zhu Haoming had played a part in Zhu Junwei's arrest.
At this time, Zhu Haoming only wanted to quickly sever ties with the Zhu family and Mingxuan Group, so he rejected the requests of the directors.
When Mingxuan Group was a hot commodity, everyone wanted to take it over, including Zhu Haoming's father-in-law, Song Zhicheng. But now, Mingxuan Group is a hot potato. Who would be so foolish as to take it over?
On the second and third days, no good news came out, and Mingxuan Group's stock repeatedly hit the daily limit down. At this time, Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao still stood aside and watched the show with a wait-and-see attitude.
Furthermore, most of their attention was focused on the interrogation process at the police station.
After Zhu Junwei was taken back, he insisted that he hadn't done anything and knew nothing.
The police had no choice but to use the evidence collected by Ke Kai and the video provided by Zhu Haoming to interrogate another suspect, who was Xiao Hai's father, the perpetrator whom Zizai identified as the one who pushed him into the deep pool, and the taxi driver who was in the car accident with Zhu Qianying and Zizai.
Two or three days passed, and the police still had no definite news, which made Zhu Qianying anxious.
"If Zhu Junwei continues to deny the crime, and the perpetrator takes all the blame, will Zhu Junwei be released without charge?"
Zhu Junwei is too smart. Even though he is currently carrying a bunch of suspected crimes, there is not a single piece of evidence that clearly points to him.
"Won't!"
Yan Shao spoke with absolute certainty. Although Zhu Junwei was cunning, Yan Shao was not a brainless coward.
Although Zhu Qianying couldn't understand why Young Master Yan was so confident, she firmly believed that with Young Master Yan's abilities and skills, it was only a matter of time before he brought down Zhu Junwei.
On the fourth day after Zhu Junwei was taken away by the police, things finally took a turn for the better.
Lei returned to L City from M Country, but instead of his wife, he was accompanied by a beautiful young woman.
This woman was none other than Zhu Junwei's fiancée abroad, Du Qiqi.
"Your persecution in the US was actually related to this Johnnie To," Yan Shao explained to Zhu Qianying.
Zhu Qianying looked at him in confusion, "Didn't you say that Zhu Junwei instigated that jewelry store owner to do it? How is it related to this Miss Du?"
“This Du Qiqi is the daughter of a well-known group in the United States. It was she who introduced Zhu Junwei to that jewelry store owner.”
Zhu Qianying now vaguely understood, "This Miss Du, is unaware of the shady dealings Zhu Junwei has been doing in private?"
Yan Shao shrugged noncommittally, "I'm not too sure about that either. Or maybe she knows, but is just pretending not to know."
This Johnnie To comes from a prestigious family and is well-mannered and cultured. If we ignore the inherent wickedness of Chu Chun-Wei and only look at their appearances, the two are a perfect match.
"Was it Brother Lei who told her the truth and persuaded her to come back?" Zhu Qianying wondered about the connection.
"Yes, I sent some of Zhu Junwei's videos to Brother Lei, who then passed them on to her. The process was a bit complicated, but it was useful nonetheless."
