Chapter 140 Situation
Fu Chengli raised an eyebrow, taken aback.
The hand that was playing with the lighter froze in mid-air.
A sudden confession and test.
Fu Chengli's smile deepened.
"Yingying, can't you feel it?"
An Ying was about to speak.
Bang.
The door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open.
Secretary Chen, looking anxious, jogged over.
Fu Chengli's face fell instantly.
"Chen Xi, you'd better have something really important to do right now, or I'll really send you to the overseas branch to pioneer new things."
Secretary Chen had no idea what the president considered a matter of utmost importance.
But they didn't care about all that; they'd accept being sent to clear wasteland.
His face was urgent: "President Fu, something terrible has happened."
Fu Chengli frowned, looking displeased, and said, "Speak."
Secretary Chen glanced at An Ying sitting to the side, and then became hesitant again.
Fu Chengli grew increasingly impatient: "Then tell me!"
Secretary Chen closed his eyes, hardened his head, and said, word by word:
"An anonymous online source revealed that An Ying was suspected of selling company information, accepting kickbacks, and seeking personal gain. The evidence was uploaded to the internet, and the celebration banquet was in an uproar. Everyone was watching the drama unfold."
An Ying jumped up from the sofa, panicking:
"Impossible! I have never done any of these things. This is slander! This is a fabrication!"
Secretary Chen looked at Fu Chengli seriously and said:
"President, regardless of the truth, the top priority now is to stabilize the senior management of DM Bank. They have some reservations about the Fu family, otherwise it will affect subsequent cooperation."
"In short, the situation is very unfavorable. Manager Wu is already holding an emergency meeting to formulate a public relations strategy. Online public opinion continues to ferment and is difficult to control."
"President, you absolutely must handle this situation."
An Ying picked up her phone to check.
The trending search exploded.
Internal documents from the QS project, which An Ying was in charge of, were leaked online.
Leaks of core documents are a major hidden danger.
This could plunge the entire team, and even the company, into a public relations crisis.
This would also directly cause her previous work to go to waste.
The chain of evidence released by the anonymous source also includes photos of her and Lu Qiyao having dinner at a restaurant.
The photographer captured the moment she handed Lu Qiyao a black USB drive.
This means someone has been following her all this time...
An Ying's heart sank.
Unfortunately, the QS project she was in charge of was similar to one of Lu Qiyao's company's projects.
These two are competitors.
In addition to their past relationship, some netizens also dug up a video of her at Lu Qiyao and An Xiaoxiao's engagement party.
Nowadays, netizens have a very rich imagination.
Coupled with those pieces of evidence that distort the truth, and the trolls in the comments section who are stirring up trouble under different aliases.
These things are considered "irrefutable evidence" by internet keyboard warriors.
"I saw her in the live interview at the Fu family's celebration banquet just an hour ago. She's such a beautiful and capable person, how could she be like this in private?"
"What a pity, she was only famous for an hour."
"That's just the kind of person she is; she's always been dishonest."
"I heard the president of Lu's Group is her ex-boyfriend?"
"How vicious! Is she still hung up on her ex? To betray her current company for her ex-boyfriend? What kind of love-struck person is she?"
"His virtue does not match his position! I suggest the Fu family conduct a thorough investigation!"
"Such a large, prestigious company, getting involved in this kind of scandal, it's disgusting!"
........
There were even more vicious comments in the comments section.
His fingers trembled slightly as he swiped the phone screen.
An Ying felt increasingly upset as she looked at the screen, so she simply locked her phone.
I feel a bit weak all over.
She looked into Fu Chengli's eyes and said earnestly:
"I do not have."
Fu Chengli stared at the cigarette butt that was about to burn out between his fingers, his face grim.
His voice was calm: "I know."
After a few seconds of silence, Fu Chengli stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.
Then he stood up, tugged at his suit jacket, and said to Secretary Chen, "To the banquet hall."
The moment he stepped out, he suddenly turned around and looked at An Ying: "You stay here, don't go out."
An Ying stared blankly at his departing figure.
She suddenly realized that Fu Chengli had always made her feel very safe.
The cell phone rings.
An Ying snapped out of her daze, picked up her phone, and saw that it was Ye Rao calling.
She pressed the call button again.
Ye Rao's hurried voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Xiao Ying, what's going on? I'm working overtime reviewing case files, and a colleague reminded me to gossip about the Fu family."
"I thought it was some kind of juicy gossip, but it turns out you're the one in the story?! Were you framed?!"
An Ying took a deep breath and said, "Yes."
Ye Rao gritted her teeth in anger: "What despicable tactics! Your career is on the rise, you have a bright future ahead of you, how could you be so vicious!"
Do you have any clue who's behind this?
Several faces flashed through An Ying's mind.
An investigation is definitely necessary.
First, we need to find clues.
She would never sit idly by and wait to die.
Ye Rao said worriedly, "Bao'er, there's a lot of noise online right now. You need to clarify things quickly, otherwise your situation will only get more and more difficult! Once you can't get rid of the accusation of betraying the company, your future career will be tough."
An Ying lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment.
"Xiao Rao, can you help me look up someone?"
------
Fu Chengli strode calmly into the banquet hall.
The eyes of those around him, who had been glued to their phones watching the drama unfold, all turned to look at him.
Fu Chengli walked straight up to Fu Haidong.
"Dad, you knew about this beforehand, didn't you?"
The voice was soft, yet it was extremely thought-provoking.
Fu Chengli was practically saying outright that there was someone behind the scenes trying to harm people.
Fu Haidong's face fell:
"What are you saying! Do you think I would hire someone to destroy my company?!"
Fu Chengli's smile didn't reach his eyes: "How could that be, Dad? Of course I know you're devoted to the company."
Fu Haidong's expression was subtle.
It's rare that his usually intelligent, capable, and far-sighted eldest son could cause such a mess.
It's still such a big basket.
However, the phone call Lai Yuqiang made to him a while ago flashed through his mind...
That day, she said that someone had betrayed the company for personal gain and used this as leverage to negotiate with Fu Haidong.
Fu Haidong's mind immediately went into high alert.
Could all of this online have been... orchestrated by Lai Yuqiang?!
A fine layer of sweat appeared on Fu Haidong's forehead.
If she recorded it, wouldn't that indirectly prove that Fu Haidong also knew about it beforehand?
This woman is utterly ruthless!
How dare they drag him into this!
She's not afraid of going too far!
Fu Chengli noticed a fleeting look of panic on Fu Haidong's face.
He raised an eyebrow: "Dad, did you remember something?"
