Chapter 657: I Admit Defeat
“Who is the mastermind?”
“He’s a Sheng as well, but he didn’t tell me his full name. That’s all I know. As long as I do this well, not only will I get compensation from Huang Yao, I will also get paid by him. It was such a great temptation, so I agreed to it.” Miss Gao told them honestly.
Because the one who she feared not was Mu Qiqi.
This girl was too clever!
“So, it’s him.” Mu Qiqi smirked. “You won’t get the money, I guarantee that. You won’t lose your name, but you shouldn’t be doing such a brainless thing in the future.”
“Meeting you, I admit defeat.” The other party threw up her hands helplessly.
“You have your resources and talent that enable you to earn money. The last thing you should do is to harm other people and gain benefits from that. Regardless whether or not Huang Yao is innocent, your action itself is not right. Hindering a person from earning a living is the same as killing his parents. Do you think that you won’t suffer from backlash after taking this money? Especially for a public figure like you? It’s self-destruction if you don’t cherish yourself. Think about it carefully.”
After hearing this, Miss Gao couldn’t help laughing at herself. “I’m almost twenty-eight but I’m actually not as experienced as a girl in her early twenties. You’ve convinced me. What do you need me to do?”
Mu Qiqi looked at her and whispered a plan into her ear.
...
The whole process only took half an hour. Ren Yufei had thought that after entering the house with Mu Qiqi, she would have to stay there the whole day. She even imagined that they would be the inferior ones and forced to speak meekly. However, everything was the opposite. Although young, Mu Qiqi was confident and sure of herself. In fact, she was a deep person. Ren Yufei hadn’t understood when she saw Mu Qiqi playing with her phone just now. Apparently, Mu Qiqi had been preparing for the negotiation with Miss Gao.
“Miss Mu, where are we going now? Are we going to the house of the rich woman?”
Mu Qiqi shook her head. “No. As I said, we can just consider the rich woman as someone ignorant. What we did just now would not work on her. Miss Gao cares for her name because she has a reputation to uphold. This rich woman is just an accessory of her husband. She has a simple life. As long as Miss Gao manages to pacify the customers, we don’t have to worry about the rich woman. Let’s go back to Huang Yao.”
Ren Yufei nodded and followed Mu Qiqi.
The two soon arrived at Huang Yao.
Sheng Bowen was surprised to see them. “Settled everything already?”
“Half, to be precise.” Mu Qiqi smiled. “Third Brother, I didn’t ask you about this before meeting Miss Gao. If they are VVIP customers of Huang Yao, why couldn’t they tell a real diamond from a fake one? Have you thought about that?”
Sheng Bowen pondered in silence. Finally, he understood it.
“Miss Gao published a video on how to differentiate a real and a fake diamond out of the desire to show off. But this time, she bought a fake diamond. Do you think her fans will believe in what she says in the future? However, she is unwilling to admit that she was threatened, and she did it for money. So, I suggested a solution where she should get a doctor to prove that she has some problems with her eyes, to explain why she was unable to distinguish between a real and a fake diamond. Using that as evidence, she will clarify the matter. Only in this way will her image not be tarnished, and she will also start to speak for Huang Yao.”
Sheng Bowen gave her a thumbs up. “You’ve become so clever in handling things after being with Eighth Brother for so long. I’m very impressed with you, and very thankful for what you’ve done.”
“Thank me later. Bring along your secretary and get busy. I will wait for Miss Gao to make her clarification.”
Sheng Bowen patted Mu Qiqi on her shoulders. His heavy heart was suddenly lighter.
“I shall get busy then. Yufei, prepare the documents for the meeting.”
Mu Qiqi stayed in Sheng Bowen’s office. Because she couldn’t guarantee that Miss Gao would really speak for Huang Yao.
Who could be sure? She might change her mind.
After the secretary left with Sheng Bowen, there was no one to relieve her from boredom in the office.
...
In the meeting room of Huang Yao, the board of directors were discussing the problems surrounding Sheng Kai’s shares. According to the information in Sheng Bowen’s hand, Sheng Kai seemed to have decided to sell his shares to a notorious foreign businessman.
It was pretty obvious that Sheng Kai would do anything that would disgust them.
After all, he just had to sit at home and count the money, since he wouldn’t be the one to manage the aftermath.
“The police made a breakthrough. They have tracked down the sales manager and the missing necklace. Since the case has become a big issue, he couldn’t sell it easily, so he tried to sell it in the black market, but the police stopped him. These two incidents are caused by Sheng Kai. We’ve gained a thorough understanding on the matters after meeting Miss Gao. At present, the more information we have, the more beneficial it is to us. The truth will come to light sooner or later.”
“CEO Sheng, I don’t doubt your ability. But Sheng Kai is a thorn. Do you think we should think of a way to remove it? Otherwise, he will continue to cause us trouble.”
In the meeting room, the discussion heated up. After a while, Sheng Bowen joined a video conference with the secretary. A few partnering companies were shaken by the recent events, so he had to appease them.”
Ren Yufei stayed by his side without complaining, not even once.
Perhaps it was because Miss Gao needed more time to prepare, Mu Qiqi waited in the office in Huang Yao until the afternoon.
Meanwhile, the stock prices of Huang Yao kept dropping miserably.
Mu Qiqi decided to wait until four o’clock. If Miss Gao was still unwilling to do anything or had no guts to stand up, she would make her move.
Suddenly, Sheng Xiao called her. “How is it going?”
Mu Qiqi looked at the time and said, “I’m waiting for news. It’s so boring in Third Brother’s office.”
“Xu Che is downstairs. Just go home, little one.” Sheng Xiao smiled. “You’re waiting anyway, so why not wait by my side?”
“Of course, I am very willing to be with you.”
Mu Qiqi hung up the phone and went downstairs. Right then, one of the people involved in the fake diamond incident stood up in public.
She was so determined in her ‘fake diamond statement’ before. Was she trying to save Huang Yao now or was she planning to launch an attack for the second time?
