Chapter 282: Pushing Out a Scapegoat
He walked to her side, glanced at the phone thrown on the ground, and sighed helplessly:
"The company's shareholders have seen the online defamation of Shengshi Group and are now demanding that you come forward and give the public an explanation."
Sheng Qianrui's face tightened!
Explain? How?
The people inside haven't been rescued yet. If she stands up now to clear Shengshi Group, and the police release the evidence the next moment, wouldn't she be slapping herself in the face?
"These are just some internet rumors. There's no need for Shengshi Group to be afraid of these groundless discussions!"
If it weren't for her, how could Shengshi Group have been able to revive in the past two years? Now that it's faced such a small setback, they want to push her out?!
“They are all ungrateful!”
Sheng Qianrui was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Finally, she turned around and walked to the sofa and sat down, biting her lips and forcing herself to calm down quickly.
"Dad, can you think of a way to get those people out of the police station first..."
Sheng Jinghui looked at his daughter with some heartache, took a deep breath, stood up and hurriedly left the office.
However, after a night of tossing and turning, even after Sheng Jinghui showed up in person, the people detained in the police station were still not released the next day!
After being interrogated by the police, the suspects watched as others were released one after another. They were the only ones who were detained. Only then did they start to panic.
Among these people, there are media outlets that have been cooperating with Shengshi Group for many years, as well as those troublemakers who have been bribed. This is not the first time they have cooperated with Sheng Qianrui. Whenever something happened before, it was always resolved quickly without leaving any criminal record.
That's why they have been cooperating with her without any worries, but they didn't expect that something unexpected would happen this time!
Thinking of the police’s previous warning, whether it is imprisonment of less than three years, or imprisonment of more than three years but less than ten years, no matter which one is sentenced, their lives will be over!
They waited anxiously, and just when they were hoping Sheng Qianrui would come to rescue them, a lawyer in a suit and glasses appeared.
They were prosecuted for multiple crimes including gathering a crowd to cause trouble, defaming others' reputation, and endangering others' lives and property!
You can't escape the minimum three-year prison sentence for multiple crimes!
"No! That's not the case! We just went to watch the fun, we didn't harm anyone's life!"
Upon hearing this string of charges, those people completely lost their composure.
However, Deng Xiulin simply lowered his eyes and said, "If you have anything to say, you can stay in court and talk about it."
"We just threw a cup of milk tea, no one was hurt!"
Unfortunately, all they got in response was an indifferent and noble back.
At the gate of Shengshi Group, the number of reporters and onlookers gathered there increased instead of decreased!
Some people who knew about this matter were questioning it, and some who claimed to be family members of the people involved were clamoring for an explanation from the Sheng family.
If they don't get the person out quickly, they will release the evidence that Shengshi bribed them to slander and attack Xu Fangli!
Among them was the man whose brother was accused of a crime.
Although Sheng Qianrui had only contacted him through a single line from beginning to end, and the rest of those who claimed to be family members were all shills he found, but those words were not entirely false. He did have evidence that Sheng Qianrui had instructed them to do so.
In the office.
Sheng Qianrui, Sheng Jinghui and her assistant Ding Qian all had gloomy faces, and the atmosphere was overly solemn.
"Ding Qian, you also saw that the stock of our Shengshi Group fell by ten percentage points as soon as it opened today. If it continues like this, the matter will only get bigger and bigger! Things have developed to this point, and we can't let the other party blame Qian Rui no matter what." Sheng Jinghui said in a calm voice.
Ding Qian stood in front of the desk, feeling a little uneasy. "I know that Mr. Sheng's reputation is related to the entire Shengshi Group. I know what to do."
"You've been following Qian Rui since graduation. It's been really hard for you these past few years. Don't worry, as long as you help Qian Rui through this difficult time, we won't treat you unfairly. You can come back anytime after the storm is over."
Sheng Jinghui's kind face was full of sincere comfort.
Ding Qian nodded and said, "Thank you, Chairman."
"Go ahead. If you do well, you will be a hero of our Shengshi Group. The Sheng family will remember you forever."
What if I can’t do it well?
Ding Qian felt both scared and cold.
Having followed Sheng Qianrui for these years, she has seen her methods before.
Including Mr. Sheng, who always looks smiling and kind, how many people have provoked them and ended up disappearing without a trace.
Now that things have come to this, if Sheng Qianrui doesn't find a scapegoat, her reputation will be ruined.
The only thing that could explain all this was her most trusted assistant.
If she took the initiative to admit it and resigned, Sheng Qianrui could completely distance herself from these things.
Only then will she come forward to comfort the families, and her image will be restored to a positive state in no time.
Only her.
But what can she do?
Even if you don't want to, where is the chance to refuse or choose!
If she offends Shengshi Group, she will have no chance of staying in Beijing.
Just when there was more and more criticism about Shengshi Group on the Internet, Ding Qian stepped forward and admitted that she had planned all of this in the identity of Sheng Qianrui.
The reason is that she doesn't want to see a third party who interfered with their president's relationship being smug, and she wants to vent her anger on behalf of their president!
She also said that she only asked those people to curse Xu Fangli and did not ask them to do anything. It was their own fault for not knowing how to handle the situation properly.
Ding Qian tried her best to avoid the legal responsibilities she needed to bear, and finally submitted her resignation and left Shengshi completely.
Sheng Qianrui is still the almighty president of Shengshi. Later, the official of Shengshi released a video of Sheng Qianrui meeting with the families of the detained people alone and comforting them.
Sheng Qianrui's assistant acted irrationally, but in the end it was Sheng Qianrui who had to step in personally to clean up the mess.
The vision of Sheng Qianrui, the CEO of Shengshi, was instantly elevated to a higher level.
It would not be excessive to fire such an assistant, but Sheng Qianrui publicly stated in front of reporters that she understood Ding Qian's approach but did not approve of it. She said she would not fire her, but would let her resign voluntarily and give her the severance pay she deserved.
She sincerely and humbly apologized to the public on behalf of her assistant, and finally even apologized to Fang Li through the camera.
As she spoke, her beautiful face was filled with deep fatigue and self-blame, with blue marks under her eyes, looking extremely haggard, which instantly aroused the sympathy of the public.
But even so, Shengshi Group still lost the battle.
Especially Sheng Qianrui, she was completely defeated!
Thinking that Li Yun had broken through nearly one million fans in just two days, Sheng Qianrui almost vomited blood while standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window!
"Dad, I can't swallow this!"
Sheng Jinghui sighed, "So what if you can't swallow it? You should just wait for tomorrow's engagement party. As long as your identity as the Han family's young lady is confirmed, that woman will fall apart on her own."
"Tomorrow..." Sheng Qianrui said anxiously, "That woman is very cunning. Besides, there has been no news of Han Xi since he went to Mamba. What if something unexpected happens tomorrow?"
“.......”
