Chapter 69 Jin Corporation President and His Wife Suspected of Marital Discord
Before dawn, Shen's Entertainment was already brightly lit.
The conference room was packed with people, just as many as when Jiang Xingyao last came.
When Jiang Xingyao arrived, several directors were still confronting Shen Mingsu.
Shen Hanzhi, who had the fiercest argument last time, did not participate; she just sat there with a gloomy look in her eyes.
Shen Ying saw Jiang Xingyao first, and she got up and brought Jiang Xingyao into the house.
The moment Jiang Xingyao stepped across the threshold, the entire conference room seemed to fall silent.
After a deathly silence, someone slammed their hand on the table and shouted angrily, "Miss Jiang, is this what you call proving that you didn't plagiarize?"
She casually threw out two dubious pieces of evidence, only to have them refuted by her own husband. Are you two treating the Shen family like a joke?
Originally, these high-ranking officials were only concerned about the plagiarism issue, but now, with the official Weibo account of Jin's Group posting an article, the meaning of the matter has changed.
Just as they were fighting online with Emperor View Entertainment using the evidence provided by Jiang Xingyao, the Jin family, who should have been supporting Jiang Xingyao, stepped forward and directly accused their own wife of plagiarism. Wasn't this making them, who had been protecting Jiang Xingyao, look like clowns?
Who knows how many people in this circle will gossip about how the Shen Group's higher-ups are blind to the truth and treat plagiarists like treasures.
What that person said was true. Even if Jiang Xingyao was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe, she couldn't deny what the other person said. At this critical moment, it would be pointless for the Jin family to stand up and betray the Shen family.
The losses she caused to the Shen family went beyond plagiarism. To put it more seriously, even if it was not her intention, her actions were very much like those of a spy sent by the rival to the Shen family.
"Wasn't Miss Jiang quite eloquent here last time? Why is she silent now? Could it be that you've been harboring ulterior motives ever since you joined the Shen family?" the man questioned again.
"No, I know that anything I say now would be meaningless, but I can guarantee that I did not plagiarize. As for the Jin Clan's official Weibo account, I just found out about it. Please give me some time, and I will find out everything and give everyone an explanation," Jiang Xingyao said.
It wasn't until she opened her mouth that she belatedly realized her voice was so hoarse she could barely speak.
"If I give you some time, then who will give us time?"
Do you know what's going on outside? Because of what you caused, Jin's stock has already dropped three points overnight, and it's still falling. Can you take responsibility for this?" Shen Hanzhi also rebuked angrily.
All eyes turned to Jiang Xingyao, and each person's eyes seemed to be filled with undisguised malice.
Jiang Xingyao's hands and feet were ice-cold, and her legs were weak. In the huge conference room, everyone wanted to tear her apart, leaving her all alone and helpless. She didn't even know how to start explaining.
She herself didn't even understand the situation regarding the official Weibo account of the Jin family.
I made calls the whole way, but none of them were answered.
She couldn't understand it herself. Why would someone who was saying nice things to her just a moment ago turn around and push her into the abyss?
When the official Weibo post was published, did Jin Qingyu ever think for a moment about what she would face?
"I will find a way to solve it, I will find a way to make it up to you." Apart from this promise, Jiang Xingyao didn't know what else she could say.
As soon as she finished speaking, she was met with a new round of sarcastic remarks.
But Jiang Xingyao has no other options but to apologize and admit her mistake.
It's unclear which high-ranking official was present, but in a fit of anger, they suddenly grabbed a folder and threw it directly at Jiang Xingyao.
Upon seeing this, Shen Mingsu immediately reached out to stop her, but it was too late. The sharp corner of the folder struck Jiang Xingyao on the forehead, and thin streams of blood seeped out.
The bright red stood out starkly against her deathly pale face.
Shen Ying quickly came over and said, "Xing Yao, are you alright? Let me take you to get your wound treated first."
Shen Mingsu also stood in front of Jiang Xingyao: "Uncles and elders, it's upsetting for everyone that this happened, but no matter what, we have to find a way to solve the problem first, right?"
"You're all respectable people, and you take it out on a young girl just because you're angry. Isn't that going a bit too far?"
The high-ranking official who took action was also acting out of anger, and regretted it afterward.
Hearing Shen Mingsu's words, he still said with dissatisfaction, "How dare you speak? If you hadn't insisted on bringing this scourge to the Shen family, would such a huge mess have been caused?"
Once someone started it, the anger directed at Jiang Xingyao was redirected back to Shen Mingsu.
When Jiang Xingyao was taken away by Shen Ying to have her wounds treated, she glanced back hastily. Even Shen Mingsu, even the future head of Shen's Entertainment, seemed particularly weak and powerless in the face of so much criticism.
In the lounge next to the conference room, Shen Ying brought out a first-aid kit. She said, "Xingyao, you should have seen this. This matter is very serious and has a great impact on the Shen family. Even if Asu and I believe you, those higher-ups will not let it go without an explanation."
“I know, Sister Shen Ying, I will find a way to solve this. Could you give me some time? I will go to Jin's Group to find out the truth,” Jiang Xingyao said.
Shen Ying sighed: "It's not up to me to decide. It depends on how Asu tries to negotiate. Why don't you call your husband and ask?"
Having encountered Jiang Xingyao and Jin Qingyu at a banquet before, Shen Ying knew that their marital relationship was not harmonious.
That's what she's talking about now.
Regardless of what happens in private, who would publicly betray their own wife?
Even as an observer, Shen Ying felt disheartened.
Especially since the Jin family's official Weibo account said they would give an explanation to the Shen family, but several hours have passed and there has been no news at all.
Those words seemed to be said only for the media and the public.
The Shen family is suffering losses every single second, and naturally, the Shen family's top management cannot tolerate it.
Jiang Xingyao looked down at her phone screen, which was completely black. While she was being harassed in the meeting room, Jin Qingyu still hadn't called back once.
Jiang Xingyao continued to call, but there was still no response.
Shen Ying also saw her phone screen light up; she had dialed 28 numbers, but none of them were answered.
Seeing this scene, Shen Ying didn't know whether to feel heartbroken for Jiang Xingyao or something else.
After a long silence, Shen Mingsu walked in, and Shen Ying quickly asked, "How did it go? What did those uncles and elders say?"
"We've managed to stabilize the situation for now, but I'm afraid it won't last long," Shen Ming sighed, a look of exhaustion on his face.
With the Jin family involved, the matter has become too big for him to handle alone.
He had only recently returned to China and hadn't even settled in yet, and now...
"I'm going to Jin's right now to demand an explanation from him." Jiang Xingyao stood up. Since she couldn't get through on the phone, she had no choice but to confront him in person.
"The situation has escalated even further online. There are probably still Cheng Jing's fans downstairs at the company now. You..."
“Sister Shen Ying, this matter started because of me, and I have to resolve it. Could you please lend me your car keys?” Jiang Xingyao asked.
She also took a taxi when she arrived. It was late at night and there weren't many people outside, so she wasn't afraid of being recognized by people with ill intentions.
But now it was clearly not appropriate, so Jiang Xingyao decided to drive there herself.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Shen Ming asked.
The wound had just been bandaged, and the white gauze almost blended into Jiang Xingyao's pale face.
Shen Mingsu also noticed obvious red blood vessels in her eyes, and her eyelids were a little swollen, as if she had been crying.
Her condition was clearly not right, making it even more unsettling for her to drive alone.
“You still have a lot to do at the company, I’ll go with Xingyao,” Shen Ying said.
Jiang Xingyao declined their offer and accepted Shen Ying's car keys instead.
She already felt guilty towards the Shen siblings, and she couldn't trouble them any further.
Before going downstairs, Jiang Xingyao splashed cold water hard on her face to forcefully clear her dazed mind.
She absolutely cannot collapse before finding Jin Qingyu and before resolving everything.
When the car stopped downstairs at the Jin's Building, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, the time when employees were going to work. However, a lot of media reporters were squatting at the entrance of the Jin's Building.
The news that the president's wife of the Jin Group plagiarized a popular young actor, and that the Jin Group's official Weibo account exposed his own wife, naturally made them want to get the inside scoop.
Online searches have long since shifted from Jiang Xingyao's plagiarism to the suspected marital discord of the Jin Group's president.
After confirming Jiang Xingyao's plagiarism, Jin's official Weibo account remained silent, but posted a reply under the hashtag suggesting the president's marital problems.
"Please don't make wild guesses. Mr. Jin and his wife have a very good relationship. His wife just made a mistake, and Mr. Jin will take responsibility for everything she does."
The entrance was packed with people, so Jiang Xingyao didn't dare to get out of the car rashly. She opened her phone, wanting to try calling Assistant Xu, but was first dazzled by a line of text that popped up.
Offering to pay her bill is easier said than done.
Jiang Xingyao quickly closed the entry.
Fortunately, Assistant Xu got through on the phone, but he knew nothing about Jin Qingyu's whereabouts. Assistant Xu said that Jin Qingyu hadn't come to the company since this morning.
He asked Jiang Xingyao where she was now and whether he needed to come over.
Jiang Xingyao did not say anything.
She planned to wait downstairs at the company.
She was afraid that Assistant Xu would find out where she was and tell Jin Qingyu, so she made Jin Qingyu hide.
Jiang Xingyao waited from morning until noon, until the reporters outside Jin's building were getting impatient and went to lunch, but she still didn't see Jin Qingyu.
She dialed Assistant Xu's number again.
Assistant Xu said, "Madam, President Jin just called and said he won't be coming to the company today."
After a while, he added, "It's Secretary Jiang's phone."
