Chapter 470 Stepped into the mud!
These words struck Sheng Qianrui like a sudden blow, completely crushing her.
She was carried out of the office by her assistant like a rag doll, with the accusations from the board members and group employees echoing in her ears.
As she walked down the corridor, Sheng Qianrui finally lost her temper, broke free from the security guard, and stumbled toward the elevator.
Her phone was still vibrating. She pulled it out with trembling hands. The screen showed 37 missed calls and 99+ unread messages.
The latest message came from her most trusted assistant: "President Sheng, the Yu Group just sent a lawyer's letter demanding that we compensate Brilliant Star for all its losses."
Sheng Qianrui's fingernails made a screeching sound as they scratched the phone screen.
The Yu Group... they actually dared to kick someone when they're down!
She gritted her teeth and opened Weibo; the top five trending topics were all negative about her.
Sheng Qianrui, get out of the entertainment industry!
Yaoxing Media's plagiarism is confirmed.
Exposing the Ten Evil Deeds of a Prosperous Heiress
The most eye-catching thing is the next one—"The Great Dream Never Ends" will be officially adapted into a film and television series, with an amazing cast and crew! @Jingsen @Sujin
The accompanying photo is of Xu Fangli signing autographs with her eyes down at a book signing event.
Xu Fangli's expression was serene, with a faint smile on her lips, shining brightly on the stage, which pierced Sheng Qianrui's eyes.
"Xu! Fang! Li...!"
She pronounced the name slowly and deliberately, as if she wanted to chew it up and swallow it.
The elevator doors opened, and Sheng Qianrui, clutching her phone, staggered inside.
The moment the door closed, she saw her reflection in the glass, her hair disheveled, her makeup smudged, looking like a madwoman.
And all of this is thanks to Xu Fangli and Han Xi!
Xu Fangli!
Han Xi!
"You'll regret this..."
Sheng Qianrui gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and stared at her reflection in the elevator mirror with a vicious and resentful expression.
"I swear!"
-
The overwhelming plagiarism controversy reached an unprecedented climax with an official statement from Shengshi Group.
The area downstairs from Yaoxing Media has been completely overrun.
Reporters and media personnel completely blocked the company's entrance.
The employees were too afraid to even come to the company, so Yaoxing even closed its doors. The huge media company ended up simply posting a notice about internal restructuring at the door and locking it up.
When the media reporters realized they couldn't get the shots they wanted at Yaoxing, they turned their attention to other things. Some went to the Shengshi Group headquarters building, while others went to Xingli Film and Television.
After all, as the protagonist of the whole affair, this Mr. Xu is the only winner.
So far, Yaoxing, Sheng Qianrui, and even Shengshi Group have not gained any benefits from this matter; on the contrary, they have suffered considerable losses. Only Xu Fangli has benefited.
He gained both fame and fortune!
Not only did it provide free publicity for the work, but it also made the company, Xingli Films, famous among netizens across the country.
Just then, Ma Shaoyu, the prince of love songs who had been silent until now, released a new album.
The album's title track, "Secret," immediately topped the charts on major platforms upon its release, driving fans and listeners wild!
What truly shocked fans was a Weibo post made by Ma Shaoyu himself.
—The secret is hidden on the beach at sunset, and you are hidden under the eaves after the rain! @Lyrics: Cat Pear @Composer: Xane
Xane is a name familiar to anyone who knows music. It's not surprising that he composed the theme song for Ma Shaoyu's new album. What's surprising is that he also wrote the lyrics for Cat Pear!
This name has been all over the internet these past two days; now, it's safe to say that almost everyone knows the true identity of this cat named Xiaoli!
I never expected that the seemingly aloof and indifferent CEO Xu was not only the general manager of Xingli, but also the lyricist who created such a masterpiece as "The Dream Never Ends"!
And the first song she wrote was actually for Ma Shaoyu, who is currently the most popular singer in China!
Netizens began commenting wildly:
-See that? That's real skill! How come I never realized Mr. Xu was such a hidden gem before!
Wow! The lyrics she wrote for her brother are so good! How can she be such a talented writer!
-Yaoxing Media actually has the nerve to accuse others of plagiarism! Why don't they come out and say something now? If they're so capable, why don't they say that Brother Shaoyu's song is also plagiarized?
......
While the entire internet was praising Xu Fangli to the skies, it was also trampling Sheng Qianrui into the mud!
bar.
"Continued Cup!"
Sheng Qianrui slammed the empty wine glass onto the marble countertop, her diamond-encrusted fingernails scraping against the glass with a harsh sound.
The bartender glanced at the seven empty glasses in front of her and hesitated, "Miss, you've already had quite a bit to drink..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Just fall down when I tell you to!"
Sheng Qianrui suddenly looked up, her long, disheveled hair obscuring her bloodshot eyes and smudged makeup. "What? Are you afraid I can't afford your lousy wine? Or do you look down on me too?!"
The bartender was taken aback, and it took him a while to recognize the owner of the photo. It had been trending on social media for the past few days, and now there was probably no one in the entire capital who didn't know the eldest daughter of the Sheng family.
Knowing that even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse, the bartender wisely kept quiet and silently pushed over another glass of amber liquid.
Sheng Qianrui didn't even look at it before picking it up and shoving it into her mouth.
A few snickers and whispers came from the surrounding booths.
"Isn't that Sheng Qianrui...?"
"Serves him right! He framed someone for plagiarism, but in the end, he got himself caught in his own trap. He's a disgrace to the aristocratic families of Beijing!"
"Look at her, she thinks she's some kind of rich heiress, so arrogant. She was kicked out of her own company, what's so great about her!"
Every word felt like a needle piercing Sheng Qianrui's eardrums.
She grabbed the glass and downed it in one gulp; only the burning sensation in her throat from the strong liquor could slightly suppress the urge to scream.
The phone screen lit up, revealing the headline on the official Weibo account of Shengshi Group.
She gave a cold laugh, looking at each of the words that kept swaying above:
-Statement regarding recent public opinion events: Following an investigation by the Board of Directors, it has been found that Sheng Qianrui, former General Manager of Yaoxing Media, committed significant management oversights, failing to promptly detect and stop the misconduct of individual employees…Effective immediately, Sheng Qianrui is hereby removed from all positions within the Group and its subsidiaries…
"Why..."
Sheng Qianrui's fingertips almost pierced through the screen. "Why?!"
boom!
The wine glass shattered on the ground, shards flying everywhere.
The surroundings fell silent instantly, and everyone turned to look at the out-of-control woman.
Sheng Qianrui stood up unsteadily, her ten-centimeter high heels nearly causing her to fall.
These shoes are a limited edition, just flown in from Paris last week, but now they're covered in wine stains and dust, just like her broken life.
"What are you looking at!"
She yelled at the nearest table of customers, "Believe it or not, I'll make sure you all lose your jobs tomorrow!"
She was met with a burst of laughter.
"You? A burden no one wants, a pathetic wretch who doesn't even respect his own company? You've made someone lose their job. Look at yourself, what are you strutting around for!"
Someone scoffed and pointed their phone at her: "Look everyone, this is the eldest daughter of the Shengshi Group!"
Sheng Qianrui lunged forward to grab the phone, but tripped over her own high heels and fell awkwardly onto the sofa.
A buzzing sound filled my ears, and the alcohol and anger made everything in front of me begin to distort and spin.
She fumbled for her bag, but bumped into the remaining half-bottle of wine. The liquid quickly soaked through her dress, which was worth tens of thousands of yuan, making her look even more disheveled, like a pitiful creature no one wanted.
"Do you need help?"
