Chapter 71 Jin Qingyu, you are truly hypocritical.
Besides Shen Mingsu, several other high-ranking officials, including Shen Hanzhi, were also present, all eyeing Jin Qingyu with predatory intent.
The evidence Jiang Xingyao presented this time was enough to turn the tide, and they watched helplessly as the online sentiment shifted.
However, because Jin Qingyu suddenly betrayed his wife, Shen was also pushed into the eye of the storm, causing her to suffer heavy losses.
If it weren't for the need to discuss solutions, no one in the Shen family would have been willing to let Jin Qingyu in.
Jin Qingyu said, "I've already made it very clear before. I'm here to take responsibility for my wife's behavior."
"Mr. Jin, are you sure Xingyao plagiarized this? Are you willing to pay compensation for this rather than help clear her name?" Shen Mingsu asked coldly.
Jiang Xingyao stood behind Shen Mingsu. She lifted her eyelids to look at Jin Qingyu, also wanting to know the answer.
Jin Qingyu said, "There's nothing to defend. My wife only studied piano for a few years and never even attended a formal music academy. The other person has been in the industry for many years and graduated from a prestigious foreign university. The difference is so huge, isn't it obvious?"
Instead of discussing this, Mr. Shen should think about what conditions to offer next.
"Any conditions are acceptable? Mr. Jin is truly generous," Shen Ming asked.
Jin Qingyu nodded: "After all, this matter was caused by my wife's lack of understanding, which resulted in losses for the Shen family. As long as it's not excessive, I will try my best to satisfy her."
"Jin Qingyu, you..."
"Xingyao, don't be afraid. Didn't we agree? You, President Shen, will take the lead in this matter. President Shen will be the one to fight for you."
With her last shred of hope extinguished, Jiang Xingyao trembled with anger. Just as she was about to question Jin Qingyu, Shen Mingsu interrupted her.
The man's voice was gentle, carrying a calm and relaxed air despite the tense atmosphere.
After comforting Jiang Xingyao, Shen Ming said, "I don't know why President Jin would so indiscriminately condemn his own wife."
You insist your wife plagiarized, but all I know is that my employee wouldn't do that.
If you're here to offer a solution to that official Weibo post, we can still talk. But if you're talking about compensation, then take your worthless money and get out of Shen's territory.
“President Shen, our President Jin came here with good intentions to make amends. How can you say such a thing?” Jiang Cancan asked.
She changed into a business suit next to Jin Qingyu, as if she had returned to being Secretary Jiang.
Shen Mingsu scoffed, "Trying to make amends in good faith, and you bring a chicken home? I was just about to say something, what's with the smell? It stinks! Do you even have the right to speak here? Go ahead and squawk."
Shen Mingsu has always given people the impression of being gentle and refined, but today he suddenly started cursing at the negotiating table, leaving even the senior executives of Shen's Group dumbfounded.
Jiang Cancan's eyes even reddened.
She whispered, "Mr. Jin, I..."
Jin Qingyu glanced at her, and Jiang Cancan pouted, stopping herself from saying anything more.
After the surroundings quieted down, Jin Qingyu said, "Before making a decision, Mr. Shen and everyone else, why don't you listen to my sincerity first?"
“I can’t listen to you. You want to ruin your wife, but I have to be responsible for my employees.”
"Mr. Jin, I've already said, if you insist on insisting that my employee plagiarized, then please get out." Shen Ming said.
Having been humiliated several times, Jin Qingyu's expression was not good either.
Especially the man opposite him, who is so firmly defending his wife, who is now standing against him.
This feeling made him feel suffocated, and his patience was almost exhausted.
Jin Qingyu said, "Are you all just letting your young CEO Shen act so recklessly?"
I know the current situation is very unfavorable for the Shen family. The stock market is fluctuating wildly, and you are losing more than a million every minute, right?
Are you really going to protect one employee at the expense of the entire group? Are you sure you don't want to hear my terms?
Although the Shen family was also embroiled in fierce internal strife, they still had to maintain the image of Shen Mingsu, their heir, in front of outsiders.
That's why none of them spoke earlier.
But now, seeing Shen Mingsu's resolute attitude, the senior executives exchanged glances, and many of them showed disapproval in their eyes. Shen Hanzhi said, "Since President Jin is here, why don't you tell us how you think this matter should be resolved?"
Jin Qingyu said, "It's very simple. The reason why Shen's stock is fluctuating is because of my wife, isn't it?"
I will compensate you for all the losses incurred during this period after you terminated your contract with her.
In addition, the Jin family owns a subsidiary that does live streaming, Tianxiang Media, which you should all have heard of. It has been quite profitable in recent years, and I am giving it to the Shen family as an apology.
Given these conditions, I don't think any of you need to refuse, do you?
His words caused several high-ranking members of the Shen Group to waver, and their expressions softened considerably.
If he was simply helping the Shen family compensate for their losses, then that was his duty, and no one would care.
Even if he gave me more money, it wouldn't matter.
But what he's sending now is a hen that lays golden eggs.
Tianxiang Media is a leader in the live streaming industry, and most importantly, the Shen family has indeed recently made plans to enter the live streaming industry.
It's no exaggeration to say that this one company alone is enough to shake the resolve of many people.
Moreover, they don't have to pay anything; they just need to terminate their contract with Jiang Xingyao.
Jiang Xingyao has made such a mistake that even Jin Qingyu has made it clear that he will not help her clear her name. She is already covered in stains, and letting her stay in Shen's Group would only be a scar on the company. It would be better to take this opportunity to remove them.
This way, the Shen family can also gain some benefits, making it a sure-fire way to make money.
“Mr. Jin, we need to discuss this matter. How about I have someone take you to the lounge next door to rest for a while?” Shen Hanzhi said.
Although he called it a discussion, he already had a plan in mind. Everyone was gathered here for profit, and no one would refuse such a great temptation.
In fact, sending Jin Qingyu away first was to persuade Shen Mingsu.
Jin Qingyu shrugged: "I'm not in a hurry, you can discuss it slowly."
The rest was a matter between the Shen Group's senior management. Jiang Xingyao was also temporarily asked to leave. Shen Mingsu said, "Xingyao, don't worry, this matter won't end like this. I will definitely help you prove your innocence."
As soon as he came out of the conference room, Jin Qingyu walked straight toward Jiang Xingyao. He sneered, "Just listen to what he says. Under such favorable conditions, he alone can't go against the entire board of directors of Shen's Group. Yaoyao, be good, terminate the contract and come home with me."
"Why?" Jiang Xingyao asked. "Didn't we already have an agreement? I already have the evidence, and this matter has already been resolved. Why are you doing this?"
"Evidence? Yao Yao, do you think you can rest easy now that this matter is resolved? Do you think something similar will never happen again?"
This industry is so treacherous and cutthroat, it's not a suitable place for the pampered Mrs. Jin.
Stop fooling around, listen to me, come home with me. I've said it before, Mrs. Jin doesn't need to go out and work so hard. Whatever you want, just say the word and I'll have someone bring it to you. Isn't that enough?
Why bother coming out and going through all this trouble?
Besides, I can't just watch my wife get scolded in public, so I have to address the problem at its root.
Jin Qingyu spoke slowly and deliberately, uttering sanctimonious words that made Jiang Xingyao feel nauseous with every single one.
Is that his reason for betraying her?
So in his heart, he was certain that she hadn't plagiarized, but he insisted on accusing her of plagiarism for such a ridiculous reason, denying her hard work and forcing her to hand over her achievements to someone else.
"Do you know that those were my hard work, my dreams? And you just tore them to shreds with a few light words? Jin Qingyu, what gives you the right?"
"What right do you have to make decisions for me? You trampled on my memories before, and now you want to destroy my dreams too?" Jiang Xingyao was a little emotionally broken. She leaned against the wall next to her to barely keep her balance.
But when she looked up again, her face was covered in tears, blurring her vision.
Jin Qingyu looked at her pale, bloodless lips, her swollen eyes, and her trembling shoulders. His throat felt dry, and in the end, even his gaze darted away, but his tone was exceptionally firm: "Mrs. Jin, I've said it before, this circle is not suitable for you."
Jiang Xingyao felt a tightness in her chest. She wanted to laugh, but she couldn't manage it. In the end, she could only manage a very strange expression.
She said, "Not suitable for me? Is that really the case?"
You're doing this for Jiang Cancan's sake, aren't you? As long as you insist that I plagiarized, Jiang Cancan won't sell my work to Dijing Entertainment.
Jin Qingyu, you actually know everything. You're just saying these high-sounding words to protect Jiang Cancan, aren't you?
Beneath the sweet words, the bloody truth was personally revealed by Jiang Xingyao.
She felt a chill seeping into her very bones.
Her husband, her bedmate, could betray her for another woman while speaking words of trust to her.
How ridiculous.
“Yaoyao, I told you, Mrs. Jin doesn’t need to face other people’s criticism. Just be a good girl and I’ll make it up to you when we get home,” Jin Qingyu said.
"Compensation? Jin Qingyu, you made me admit to plagiarism, nailed me to the pillar of shame, and made me carry this infamy for the rest of my life. Now you say you can't bear to see me suffer such public condemnation? You're so hypocritical."
"What is the compensation you speak of compared to my hard work and my dreams?" Jiang Xingyao stared at him coldly, her eyes filled with daggers, as if she wanted to tear the person in front of her to pieces.
He so easily destroyed everything she had for another woman, and then casually offered some kind of compensation. How could he say such a thing?
"You don't have any other choice. Your CEO Shen will only compromise in the end. Yao Yao, I know you feel guilty towards him, and you don't want to make things more difficult for him, right?"
"If you had given in sooner, he would have had less pressure," Jin Qingyu said.
