In front of the camera, the female college student, who identified herself as Wen Hui, was a student at C University in Nancheng. She spoke while crying, looking very pitiful. She cried in front of the reporter, her face streaked with tears.
"I'm a senior in college, and I've been working really hard to get an internship at Luo's company. I hoped to work here, but I never expected the chairman to treat me like this..."
She was only halfway through her sentence when Wen Hui fainted from crying.
Subsequently, the news agency urgently submitted all the evidence provided by Wen Hui, as well as the hotel's video surveillance footage. In order to have credibility in front of the company's chairman, this poor female college student even released her personal identification information.
In an instant, her credibility was greatly enhanced. No one would risk everything to frame a company chairman; that would be gambling with their future, their fate, and even their own reputation!
As soon as the incident occurred, Luo's public relations department immediately took emergency measures to try to suppress Wen Hui, but what should have been an easy task turned out to be completely ineffective.
It wasn't until the afternoon that it completely escalated into a major social news story.
When Mr. Luo returned to the Luo family home, he had barely stepped inside when Mrs. Luo slapped him across the face. He was furious: "What nonsense are you spouting? Do you know how serious the situation is right now?!"
"You still say I'm being ridiculous? You still say that to me!"
Madam Luo, disheveled and looking like a madwoman, pointed at Mr. Luo's nose and yelled, "You don't only have that little bastard Luo Yuming outside, do you? Huh? Tell me, tell me!"
"What the hell do you think I have? Stop messing around!"
Mr. Luo said impatiently, and pushed Mrs. Luo away.
The living room was in complete chaos. Luo Zhihong stood at the door, his heart pounding with panic, while Madam Luo lay amidst the mess on the floor, weeping bitterly. But Luo's father showed no reaction, simply straightening his suit.
Mr. Luo looked up at Luo Zhihong and said, "Aren't you on good terms with Ruan Tiantian? This time, it seems someone is targeting us. Our stock price is already plummeting. We need the Ruan family's help."
"Okay, Dad."
Indeed, Mr. Luo is, after all, the public image of the Luo family, and the fact that the chairman is caught in such a public opinion storm is not good for the Luo family no matter what. If someone takes this opportunity to attack...
Luo Zhihong understood the importance of this matter, and just as he was about to leave, he couldn't help but ask, "Dad, is this true?"
Does it even matter whether it's true or false?
Mr. Luo countered with a question, then stepped forward and patted Luo Zhihong on the shoulder: "Think carefully about what you should do, Zhihong. Ruan Tiantian is just a woman."
...
Inside a VIP ward of the hospital.
Mr. Ruan was lying unconscious on the hospital bed. Although he was in his prime, he suffered a stroke due to a sudden surge of anger and anxiety. He was only able to leave the intensive care unit after emergency treatment.
The secretary stood guard outside the ward, while Ruan Tiantian sat beside the bed, looking down at her unconscious father. The feigned gentleness she had shown before was gone from her face; only cold ambition remained.
She was the only one in the entire ward. Ruan Tiantian patted her father's hand and whispered, "Dad, you promised me the shares, but you still haven't given them to me."
“I have never had a father since I was a child, and my mother has always been just a mistress. But you can clearly divorce Ruan Qingan’s mother and finally give her a proper status, instead of just telling her that you two are the true love and that I have been a child without a father for so many years.”
“I deserve compensation, Dad. When I had no father’s love, Ruan Qingan was spoiled by his parents and lived a lawless life. I should have had that kind of life too, but I have suffered so much.”
Ruan Tiantian paused, then said, "I'm sorry, Dad, I just want to take back everything that's rightfully mine. I heard that the Han family is preparing to have Ruan Qing'an take over, probably because of the Norman family matter. I can't lose to her..."
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, her hand resting on the oxygen mask, and Ruan Tiantian's eyes grew colder and colder.
When Luo Zhihong arrived at the hospital, his secretary was busy running around, while Ruan Tiantian was leaning against the corridor outside the ward with her head down.
He strode forward: "Sweetie, what happened?"
"Dad, he, he..."
Ruan Tiantian's voice was hoarse from crying. She looked up, her eyes red and swollen from crying, and she looked very pitiful. Luo Zhihong immediately understood and quickly put her in his arms.
Ruan Tiantian finally burst into tears, and Luo Zhihong then said, "Tiantian, please accept my condolences. The future of Hongyuan Group depends entirely on you."
"Can I really do it?"
"You are the best, and I will always be there for you."
Luo Zhihong repeatedly expressed his loyalty, patting Ruan Tiantian on the back.
Ruan Tiantian almost fainted from crying, but finally composed herself a little and asked, "Did you come to see me today because you need something?"
"I should have asked Uncle Ruan, but it seems that I can only make the decision for you, Tian Tian. You are the pillar of Hongyuan Group now, the one in charge, and only you can help me now."
Listening to Luo Zhihong's flattery, Ruan Tiantian couldn't help but feel a little smug: "Is it about the Luo family? Don't worry, go back home. I will definitely help you."
"That's great, Sweetie!"
Luo Zhihong was so happy he almost jumped for joy. He hugged Ruan Tiantian tightly, and the two cuddled for a while before he went back home with peace of mind.
After Luo Zhihong left, Ruan Tiantian wiped away her tears. Ruan's father's secretary, having finished her errands, stood behind Ruan Tiantian and said, "Miss, the hospital has already come to handle the situation."
"...I never thought that Dad would still not make it."
Ruan Tiantian smiled bitterly, then handed a document to her secretary: "This is Dad's estate distribution. He prepared all this a long time ago, probably because he was afraid of this kind of situation."
"Regardless, let's announce it to the public and let all the major shareholders know that I will take over immediately."
The secretary glanced at it and saw that it clearly stated that the Hongyuan Group, as well as all the assets under Ruan's father's name, would be left to Ruan Tiantian, while her other daughter, Ruan Qing'an, would receive nothing...
The secretary sighed deeply and lowered her head: "Yes, Chairman Ruan, I will give the order immediately."
Hearing the secretary address her like that, Ruan Tiantian's smile widened, but she quickly concealed her emotions, still maintaining a sorrowful expression: "By the way, the Luo family is also our partner, we can't ignore them this time."
"But, Chairman Ruan, the Luo family has probably been set up this time. This matter can't be suppressed, and even public relations can't help."
Ruan Tiantian paused, then said, "Then let's suppress it with something else."
The secretary was completely stunned, staring blankly at Ruan Tiantian. But without the restraint of her father, Ruan Tiantian, who no longer concealed her feigned gentleness, completely tore off her disguise.
"The new heir of the Han family, Ruan Qing'an, the former heir of Hongyuan Group, was kicked out of the family for framing his own sister, beating others, and bullying the weak. Such a person of bad character, and the Luo family's chairman who was just having an affair, who is really more morally corrupt?"
With the online trolls and the debate-like topic, it immediately sparked heated discussions—in just half a day, Ruan Qingan, who was still sick at the Han family's house, was forced to fall into the trap.
