Chen Lei insisted that if someone hadn't been stirring up trouble behind the scenes, this matter wouldn't have caused so much of a stir.
It was originally a private matter between the Jiang family and President Lu.
Now look what's happened, everyone knows about it.
Some media outlets even started to sensationalize the story, claiming that President Lu was ungrateful and exaggerating the severity of the incident.
What was originally a minor matter has now escalated to the level of Mr. Lu's character.
Some people even dug up something from 12 years ago and spread rumors that Lu Jianshen had driven Li Haishan to his death 12 years ago.
This gives Chen Lei reason to suspect that Li Cheng is involved in this matter.
In the morning, when Lu Jianshen went to work, a group of angry netizens blocked the company entrance.
"Mr. Lu, you need to give us an explanation for this. Lu's Group has always claimed to be a conscientious company. As the boss, don't you owe the public an explanation for doing such a thing?"
Chen Lei escorted them all the way, practically using his own body to block those who came to attack and intercept them.
Some people have already moved from criticizing Lu Jianshen personally to criticizing the products of the Lu Group, and some bloggers have even complained that the Lu Group's products are priced too high.
Chen Lei instructed the Ministry of Public Security to take immediate measures to prevent the public outcry from escalating further.
However, the results were minimal.
At 10 a.m., I watched as President Lu went to a meeting as usual, seemingly unaffected by these events.
Chen Lei was still worried, so he called Li Cheng.
“Attorney Li, we know what you’ve been doing behind the scenes, but I hope you won’t add fuel to the fire and confuse the public at this critical juncture!”
Li Cheng sneered. Why wouldn't he seize this good opportunity?
"It's Lu Jianshen's own moral failings that are to blame; no one else is to blame! Chen Lei, do you know what you're like?"
Li Cheng's eyes darkened, filled with gloom; he didn't care at all about kicking someone when they were down.
"You're like a dog to Lu Jianshen. You're absolutely loyal to him, but one day, he might just stew you up and make dog meat hot pot!"
What's the point of being loyal to a capitalist who's a complete capitalist?
"Lu Jianshen was so strict with my father. If you make a mistake one day, he will treat you the same way!"
Li Cheng thought he could persuade Chen Lei.
Chen Lei is Lu Jianshen's right-hand man. Losing Chen Lei would be a huge problem for Lu Jianshen.
"President Lu is not the kind of person you described, Li Cheng. You underestimate our President Lu. As for your father, he couldn't withstand the pressure and chose to jump off the building."
Chen Lei stated with absolute certainty, "Do you believe it? He didn't want to die at all. He just accidentally slipped and fell. He just wanted to scare the boss. If everyone stood on the company rooftop threatening the boss, what could the boss possibly accomplish?"
Chen Lei finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Some people are stubborn and inflexible; persuasion is useless.

On the other side, Tang Li had been busy for most of the day and finally managed to draw a complete set of design drawings.
She breathed a sigh of relief and casually browsed Weibo when she saw this bad news.
Jiang Xu lost her right hand in order to save Bai Jingyue.
Lu Jianshen is ungrateful, and some people have even dug up the story of how Old Master Jiang saved Lu Jianshen back then.
Tang Li was worried and was about to call Lu Jianshen, but after thinking about it, she decided against it.
Let's ask Chen Lei about the situation first.
Chen Lei saw that it was Tang Li calling and answered immediately.
Tang Li cut to the chase and asked directly, "Chen Lei, has the Jiang family proposed any compensation plan?"
Such a big thing has happened, and the Jiang family deserves an explanation.
Tang Li felt that Lu Jianshen was not a stingy person, and that the Lu Group should be able to provide whatever compensation the Jiang family wanted.
"If only we had financial compensation, that would be fine. But Grandpa Jiang doesn't want financial compensation; he insists that our CEO Lu marry Jiang Xu!"
Chen Lei sighed as he spoke.
This is really troublesome.
There are more and more rumors and gossip circulating online now, causing a great deal of negative impact.
Their new product has just been developed and launched, and they are already facing sales problems.
Even before the pre-sale items have been shipped, a large number of customers have already started returning them.
Tang Li was stunned for a moment; she hadn't expected Old Master Jiang to make such a request.
No wonder Lu Jianshen was in a difficult position. As for Jiang Xu, does she want to take this opportunity to marry Lu Jianshen?
"Ms. Tang, please spend more time with A-Lu when you have time. Our CEO Lu will probably be very busy during this period."
Tang Li nodded absentmindedly, feeling very worried.
She browsed through several pages of posts online and realized just how dire the public opinion environment was for the Lu Group.
Netizens have been criticizing him relentlessly, constantly demanding that Lu Jianshen step forward, and even digging up some old stories.
"Li Haishan?"
When Tang Li saw the name, she was stunned for a moment, and then she typed the three characters into Baidu Encyclopedia.
It turns out that Li Haishan is Li Cheng's biological father.
It seems that some people are already secretly taking advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble!
Tang Li didn't want to meddle in other people's business, and there were indeed some things she couldn't control, but she couldn't just turn a blind eye!
Because of all this messy public opinion, she felt very depressed.
It wasn't until Jiang Xu took the initiative to call her that she finally found out.
"Miss Tang, do you have time? Let's meet up."
What were Jiang Xu thinking when she asked her out at this time?
The two arranged to meet at a coffee shop.
Jiang Xu adopted a friendly attitude, "I know you are divorced now, Ms. Tang. I hope you can leave this relationship cleanly and decisively, without dragging things out."
“I’ve seen the online comments, and they’re very negative for Lu Jianshen. He has to accept the proposal my grandfather put forward.”
Tang Li looked at the gentle-looking woman in front of her and suddenly chuckled.
Her impression of Dr. Jiang changed.
It turns out she was also a selfish egoist!
"Dr. Jiang, did you ask me to come out today to say these things in order to save Lu Jianshen?"
Tang Li didn't think that was what she really thought.
"You're not entirely stupid. Let your grandfather do the dirty work, and you can reap the benefits! Just pretend to be heartbroken, and your grandfather will definitely be furious!"
This matter seems to have nothing to do with Jiang Xu; it's just that Old Master Jiang is being unreasonable and insists that Lu Jianshen marry Jiang Xu.
But if his granddaughter hadn't put on that sad and pitiful act, how could Grandpa Jiang have acted like this!
"Now you're trying to persuade me again, attempting to morally blackmail me, making me feel like I'm the one who's wrong and should make way for your happiness. But have you considered that you're the one who's in the wrong?!"
Tang Li stared intently at Jiang Xu, whose blank expression softened slightly.
Tang Li continued, "Dr. Jiang, I know this has caused you a lot of harm, but marrying you is definitely not the way to make up for it. You should actively seek treatment!"
Instead of doing what she's doing now, using her grandfather's favor, Lu Jianshen's guilt, and the pressure of public opinion to force Lu Jianshen to marry her!
