Chapter 283 Taking Action Against the Prosperous Era
The cyber war seemed to have temporarily ended with the Sheng family's defeat, leaving Sheng Qianrui the most frustrated.
In the end, although Ding Qian was pushed out to take the blame, her image was not damaged to a certain extent.
However, the nearly ten percent drop in Shengshi Group's stock price was a real occurrence.
The board of directors was already not very satisfied with Sheng Qianrui as president. They thought that a woman of marriageable age shouldn't get married early and should be involved in the company's affairs.
Fortunately, she has done a good job in recent years, which has brought some improvement to Shengshi Group, so the board members have been turning a blind eye.
But now, just because of a media storm, Shengshi Group has lost hundreds of millions of yuan!
Although the board members did not approach Sheng Qianrui directly, they had already begun to bring up the matter of re-electing the president to Chairman Sheng Jinghui.
That's not all, there's something else that's giving Sheng Qianrui an even bigger headache.
The police station refused to budge no matter what, and the lawyer also conveyed Fang Li's message that they would never accept a private settlement and that those people must pay the price!
But how could those troublesome family members possibly calm down after that?
Led by that man, a dozen or so people blocked the entrance to the Shengshi Group building, refusing to leave until the issue was resolved!
With no other option, Sheng Qianrui could only send the company's legal counsel to negotiate with Fang Li's lawyers under the guise of legal aid, just to appease them on the surface, no matter what the outcome.
Mamba.
Just as a tense standoff ended, Jiang Bei raised his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his eye with his thumb, and stepped back to Han Xi's side.
"Send the things to the Zhao family and tell them that if they don't see the person I want before tonight, there will be a new surprise."
"Yes."
Jiang Bei raised his chin, and immediately someone wrapped the severed finger scattered to the side in cloth and hurriedly left.
This is the Mamba East District, within the Han family's mining area.
After his men carried the unconscious man away, Jiang Bei looked at Han Xi with a hesitant expression.
Han Xi was working on the documents in his hand when he noticed the unusual behavior without even looking up.
"Is something wrong?"
Jiang Bei paused for a moment, then truthfully relayed the news he had just received:
"Boss, news has come from back home that Second Master, in league with the Sheng family, has gotten into some trouble, Madam..."
Mentioning Fang Li, Han Xi's eyes, which had been fixed on the documents, instantly lifted: "What happened to her?"
"Second Master, together with the Sheng family, announced your engagement banquet with Miss Sheng. Afterwards, a wave of comments attacking Madam appeared online. Media and the public also went downstairs at Huanyu International Building to cause trouble. Madam... was beaten."
"..." Han Xi's dark eyes narrowed instantly upon hearing the word "beaten," casting a chilling, murderous glint.
"Who did it?"
Jiangbei: "The Sheng family bribed several thugs. The wife has already called the police, and they are currently being held at the Chengbei branch of the police station. The Sheng family couldn't withstand the public pressure and pushed an assistant out to take responsibility. Shengshi Group's shares dropped by ten percentage points."
Han Xi's dark eyes were cold: "Is that all?"
"The wife refuses to settle privately, and the case has now entered the litigation process. With Attorney Deng representing her, Shengshi's legal team is unlikely to win."
"not enough."
Han Xi closed the document in his hand, threw it aside, and said coldly, "Notify Jian Yunqi to release the news that Shengshi's overseas investment in new energy projects has failed."
Jiang Bei's heart skipped a beat.
The boss is planning to... take action against Shengshi!
When is the engagement party?
"tomorrow."
Han Xi frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.
Then he said, "Go and fetch Fourth Uncle."
"Yes."
-
Fang Li has been unable to contact Han Xi for days on end.
Seeing her message disappear without a trace again, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Due to personal habits, Fang Li almost never saw Han Xi turn off his phone, especially his private phone.
But this time......
Is it that things abroad are particularly troublesome?
Calls to Jiangbei went unanswered.
If the phone malfunctions, it's impossible for two people to have the problem at the same time.
Unless, of course, they are not available to answer the phone right now.
Before we knew it, the sun was already beginning to set in the west.
Although the online discussion has temporarily subsided, it is impossible for the lingering public opinion to completely dissipate in the short term.
Although Shengshi Group pushed Ding Qian out to take the blame for Sheng Qianrui, the company's stock still fell from morning until night.
By evening, preliminary estimates indicated that Shengshi Group had suffered a loss of nearly 1.2 billion yuan in this round of losses.
Sheng Qianrui was so angry that she smashed things in the room again.
The servants in the villa dared not utter a sound and all huddled in their rooms.
It wasn't until Sheng Jinghui, who had been running around all day, returned that Sheng Qianrui calmed down a bit and slumped onto the sofa.
"You can smash things to vent your anger, but don't forget that tomorrow is your most crucial moment."
Sheng Jinghui went over and placed the box he was holding in front of Sheng Qianrui.
"What is this?" Sheng Qianrui frowned.
Sheng Jinghui: "Open it and take a look."
Sheng Qianrui hesitated for a few seconds, then reached out, took it, and opened it.
A dazzling ruby set came into view, the clear gems paired with an ethereal design and perfect cuts—earrings, necklace, and bracelet—simply flawless.
As the only daughter of the Sheng family, Sheng Qianrui had seen all sorts of good things since she was a child.
Even so, she was still amazed by the set of jewelry in the box.
"This isn't... Mom..."
Meeting his daughter's surprised gaze, Sheng Jinghui sighed softly, bent down and moved to sit next to her, saying, "It's the pigeon blood red set your mother wore."
"......"
"Your mother passed away early. She always imagined what it would be like for you to grow up and get married. Tomorrow you will get engaged. Wearing the necklace that your mother left you, it will be as if she has witnessed your happiness and fulfilled her last wish."
Sheng Qianrui's eyes reddened for a moment.
Sheng Jinghui reached out and gently pulled her into his arms, his voice soothing and comforting: "Qianrui, no matter what others think, as long as you are happy, I'm willing to do anything. Don't worry, your Uncle Han and I have already discussed tomorrow's arrangements. Whether Han Xi comes back or not, there will be absolutely no problems."
Sheng Qianrui bit her lip, her heart aching: "Dad..."
In contrast to the warm atmosphere between the father and daughter, the atmosphere in the private room of a Cantonese restaurant on the central street was absolutely freezing.
Silence, a silence that lasted for more than ten minutes.
The large round table was occupied by five people, none of whom sat next to each other. What should have been an ordinary dinner party turned into a cold and hard negotiation scene.
"explain."
"..."
"Xu Fangli!"
Wen Yang was so startled that she couldn't help but tremble.
Fang Li caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of her eye, reached out and tugged at her reassuringly, then pursed her lips and asked, "What do you want to hear?"
