Chapter 132: Uneasy Heart
Wen Xin warned in a solemn tone: "If you are not capable of handling this matter, Zhichu will be handed over to your eldest brother. This is the decision of the board of directors."
Wen Baijing was stunned for a few seconds, then stepped forward to pour tea for Wen Xin and assured him, "Grandpa, please rest assured. I will deal with the negative public opinion as soon as possible and eliminate the negative impact on Zhichu as soon as possible."
Wen Xin looked at him for a while before taking the cup of tea. He said in a serious voice, "Let's deal with Zhichu's matter first! Before you deal with Zhichu's matter, you can only move back to the old house."
Wen Baijing pursed his lips, silently calculating in his mind that it would be of no benefit for him to go against his grandfather now, as it would be even more difficult to cope with internal and external troubles later.
I had no choice but to give in and agree.
Wen Xin was not completely reassured, so he arranged for the old housekeeper Zhou Shu's younger brother, Xiao Zhou Shu, to accompany Wen Baijing to and from get off work, under the pretext of protecting his safety.
In fact, it is a constant surveillance.
Wen Baijing didn't know when his credibility fell to negative numbers. In his grandfather's eyes, he was actually a man who did not keep his word.
Back at the company, Uncle Zhou followed Wen Baijing closely. Lu Yu wanted to complain but had to hold it back because of his face. He felt sorry for Wen Baijing.
It is true that Wen Baijing did something stupid, but he would not lose his personal freedom.
Lu Yu said sternly: "After checking and verifying, the public account that posted the link was newly registered, and the identity information showed that it was an elderly person in a remote area."
It was obvious that the other party was prepared.
"The information leaked is ambiguous. It seems that they are intentionally directing the public's attention to you, but they don't clearly point to you." Lu Yu paused for a few seconds, "The photo has also been blurred."
Wen Baijing forced a wry smile, "Is someone planning to negotiate terms with me?"
Lu Yu's tone was quite exaggerated: "What terms are you talking about? Threatening you with photos for money?"
Wen Baijing was confused for a moment, wondering who had the evidence against him. He couldn't explain himself, as that would be a cover-up. Before he could figure out the whistleblower's intentions, he could only instruct the public relations department to delete as many posts as possible and report those who spread rumors and forwarded false information.
Lu Yu sighed: "This year is really an eventful time. I just appeased the provincial representative, and now you are being targeted again."
Wen Baijing's relationship with a nightclub girl not only lowers the brand's tone, but is also a devastating disaster to the brand image that has been painstakingly cultivated. No matter how much you spend, it is a private matter, provided that it cannot be exposed to others.
Everyone understands this principle.
Wen Baijing thought of the board's decision that his grandfather had mentioned, and his brows unconsciously furrowed.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, thick black clouds surged like a giant net covering us, giving people the illusion that they couldn't escape even with wings.
Wen Baijing seemed to suddenly understand what Ye Zhenzhen meant by the feeling of uneasiness she had talked about last night.
Xuan Teahouse has a simple and elegant tea room, and the fragrance of pre-rain Longjing tea in the white porcelain covered bowl is refreshing.
Wen Xin picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "I watched Jiaojiao grow up. I am very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law."
Li Fuqiang smiled subtly, "I also like Bai Jing very much. Our two families know each other well and are well matched..."
Realizing the obvious gap between the two families, Li Fuqiang swallowed his words.
"I plan to invest in your company in my own name, 51 million for a % stake, and Jiaojiao's betrothal gift is million." Wen Xin put down the teacup and smiled implicitly: "In the end, it will all belong to him and Jiaojiao. I'm already this old..."
Li Fuqiang had a reluctant expression on his face, his eyes rolled around, and he nodded rapidly, "Yes, in the end it's all the children's."
Wen Xin asked: "Have you asked Jiaojiao for her opinion? Is she willing?"
Li Fuqiang quickly replied, "Yes, yes..." After repeating it several times, he said a little embarrassedly, "My business has been bad in the past two years, and it feels like I'm selling my daughter."
"We are family and don't say two words." Wen Xin smiled knowingly, patted the back of his hand, and calmly gave him a way out: "I am investing in you for business purposes, so don't think too much about it."
After a pause, Wen Xin sighed and said, "It just so happens that the children are interested in each other, and I also want to hurry up and hold their wedding, so that I can give an explanation to my deceased son and daughter-in-law."
Li Fuqiang became a relative of the Wen family. Even though he had been in business for many years, he still couldn't contain his joy. He tried his best to suppress the raised corners of his mouth and sighed about how difficult it was to be a parent.
They immediately became a family, and the two of them mixed up their official and personal matters, chatting about all sorts of trivial matters for a long time.
Wen Xin said that he had something to deal with later, and Li Fuqiang stood up and said goodbye tactfully.
Back in the car, Li Fuqiang finally didn't have to suppress his joy anymore. He laughed for a long time and called Li Jiao, "Jiaojiao, it's done!"
Li Jiao didn't seem particularly happy. "Yeah, it's expected."
Li Fuqiang couldn't help but praise his daughter: "It seems that the money spent on studying abroad was not wasted, and she has learned real skills."
Li Jiao was silent for a few seconds. "Dad, you should just do OEM work honestly in the future. Do as many orders as you receive. Don't produce a lot of goods yourself and hope for a hit. If that doesn't work, you can rent out the factory and collect rent."
Li Fuqiang was not convinced, "Don't you know how much money you can make by betting on a winning number in the market?"
Li Jiao complained: "The pile of goods you produced last year are now piled up in the warehouse like garbage. I told you at the time that those models were not good, but you would rather listen to outsiders than trust your own daughter."
Li Fuqiang put away his smile, "What outsider! Wang Qin and I have been married for more than ten years, at least you should call her mom..."
Li Jiao gets angry when she talks about Wang Qin, a country woman from another place who can't read or write becomes her stepmother. After Wang Qin gave birth to a son for Li Fuqiang, Li Fuqiang simply obeyed Wang Qin's every word.
Wang Qin had the face of a poor person who had suddenly become rich. She pretended to be knowledgeable in front of her employees and liked to act like a boss. After the employees knew her character, the noble ones disdained to pay attention to her, while the flattering ones only cared to flatter her.
If she had a little vision and business acumen, her business would not have gone from bad to worse.
Li Fuqiang produced that batch of goods last year and owed the spinning mill money for the goods by taking out a bank loan. After producing and processing the goods, he was unable to sell them out.
What’s even more infuriating is that Li Fuqiang was taken to Macau by his so-called friends, thinking that with a little luck he could make up for last year’s losses.
As a result, the hole is getting bigger and bigger.
Li Jiao became more and more angry as she spoke, and said excitedly: "Dad, can you just live a down-to-earth life? Don't gamble anymore. I can help you this time, but not next time!"
Li Fuqiang didn't care: "Even if you didn't marry into the family, the Wen family would still send money to your door. You won't have to worry about anything after you marry into the family."
Li Jiao said coldly: "This opportunity only comes once, can I let the Wen family marry me twice?"
