"Did he ask?" Xia feigned ignorance. "He probably just said it casually."
Xia Wensheng didn't want to discuss Lin Shen's "ulterior motives" towards her with Xia Wenxi here! She also wanted Lin Shen to know that the Xia family members weren't so easy to pursue!
"arrive!"
Xia Wenxi looked at the open elevator door and the two assistants outside, and could only swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Mr. Xia, Ms. Xia, the manager and deputy manager of the public relations department have arrived, and Secretary Meng is also here."
"Okay, tell them the meeting starts in five minutes, I'll be right there."
After the assistant left, Xia Wensheng asked his sister, "Have you thought it through? If you have, let's go in for the meeting."
Xia Wenxi nodded without hesitation, "Of course I've thought it through."
"Okay, let's go."
Xia Wensheng lifted his foot and headed towards the conference room, gesturing for Xia Wenxi to follow.
This unexpected meeting was not attended by many people. In addition to Xia Wensheng's two assistants, there was the chairman's secretary and two managers from the public relations department.
"Secretary Meng, did the chairman notify you to come here?"
Xia Hengyuan did not have anyone notify the people in the board secretary's office. Meng, the secretary in his father's office, was also an old friend of Hengyuan's, so it was only possible that his father had called him over.
"Yes, General Manager."
"Well, Manager Chen, please tell us what your public relations department thinks first."
Chen Qing is the public relations manager. When this incident first broke out, a staff member in the public relations department discovered it and reported it to her. She then immediately returned to the company from home.
"President Xia, according to our analysis, the other party does not have any substantial evidence. So far, all they can produce is a blurry photo. Therefore, we have every reason to deny this matter."
Alternatively, you could buy some other trending topics to divert people's attention. After all, things on the internet are constantly being updated.
Next, Chen Qing also mentioned the public relations department's plan. This matter could be presented online as mere speculation. After all, whether someone likes or dislikes something is entirely subjective, unless the other party can provide more compelling evidence.
The fact that an adopted daughter has romantic feelings for her adoptive brother is easily interpreted in various ways, which is detrimental to the company's image. As a crisis public relations department, it is natural to want to explain to the outside world from the root that this matter is false.
Xia Wensheng was quite relieved at this moment. When Xia Wenxi was making a fuss, she was mostly at home. Later, he often went abroad on business trips, and the two of them could not meet. So, let alone outsiders, he himself could not produce any solid evidence.
...
Xia Wenxi listened for a long time, then nudged Xia Wensheng's arm and whispered, "I have something to say."
Xia nodded, gesturing for her to speak.
The last time Xia Wenxi spoke in a conference room was during her probation defense. Now, facing these people in the office, she was still a little nervous, but the unresolved issues didn't allow her to be nervous.
"I'm thinking, what if we don't hide it and just tell them directly? After all, this isn't just some busybody's leak; the other party came prepared, and after we denied it, they produced other evidence. What should we do?"
Xia Wenxi has no memory of the past; in fact, she has no idea what happened before and is just guessing and expressing her thoughts.
If the other party really has evidence...
For a moment, no one spoke, and they all looked at Xia Wensheng, waiting for his decision.
Seeing that Xia Wensheng remained silent, Xia Wenxi pretended to be relaxed and said, "I can register a social media account to publish articles, and the company can just forward them directly. Then I can find some marketing accounts to repost them."
At the age of budding romance, developing inappropriate feelings for the opposite sex... I think that's understandable, right?
Looking at the matter from a third-party perspective, Xia Wenxi felt that she could understand such a viewpoint.
However, she overlooked how terrifying the internet can be, and that only a minority of people can think rationally online.
"Excuse me, I have to say something," Secretary Meng said to Xia Wenxi. "The chairman asked me to convey that he hopes to avoid involving Miss Xia further, and that this matter should be kept in the dark to prevent it from escalating."
Xia Wenxi knew that her father was doing this for her own good, but she had already gotten involved from the beginning, so there was no way to avoid it.
After thinking it over, Xia Wensheng rejected Xia Wenxi's idea.
"Where did they get their evidence? Every time your name appears in the future, it will be brought up again, accompanied by all sorts of malicious speculation. So you have to deny it, and deny it completely."
As another party involved, Xia Wensheng was naturally aware of the situation. Xia Wenxi was at most just acting crazy in front of him and his parents; there was no evidence whatsoever.
Xia Wensheng stared at his younger sister and said to her, "You are a member of the Xia family. You don't need to take on everything yourself at a time like this."
Besides, just because others speculate about you doesn't mean I'm completely innocent. Don't oversimplify things.
Xia Wenxi pursed her lips and remained silent.
She realized that Xia Wensheng was right. From the very beginning, the original owner's actions had affected both her and Xia Wensheng.
Even Xia's parents... and Hengyuan Group.
But now, she is Xia Wenxi, and Xia Wenxi is her. In everyone's eyes, she is the one who caused all of this.
Put yourself in the shoes of a working person, being called in the middle of the night to clean up a mess, it would really make you angry...
Seeing her like this, Xia Wensheng inexplicably remembered that when he was a child, he disliked his younger sister because she was too young and cried too much, and he didn't want to play with her. She was often like this.
So pitiful.
When she was hospitalized due to poor health, her eyes would light up every time she saw him visit her.
They're even more obedient when taking their medicine.
Then I remembered what Huanhuan said before. Maybe because they are not biological children, they lack a sense of security in the parent-child relationship, and over time, they have developed this wrong perception.
"Xia Wenxi, go and rest. We still have some things to discuss about the Bosch Group. It's a trade secret, so it's not convenient for you to be here."
Xia Wenxi couldn't tell whether these words were true or false, but she had heard Xia Wensheng say that it might have been the Ji family's doing, so it was normal for them to come to discuss solutions.
She wasn't a company employee, so there were some things she couldn't really hear.
"Okay, I'll go out first. Just let me know if there's anything I need to do later."
"Um."
Xia Wensheng responded, but did not intend to let Xia Wenxi respond.
Xia Wenxi felt that this happened because of her, but in fact, the other party's purpose was never her. To be honest, it was a business game, and had nothing to do with her.
Since the other party is attacking Hengyuan Group, the response should be official to official.
