Chapter 244 - 244: Blame Lin Wanli For Being Too Vicious

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Back then, the Lin Group used tough methods and caused this matter to be quickly covered up, and the family members of the victim were also ruthlessly silenced.

At that time, the Lin Group led the public opinion and blamed the problem on the girl’s poor lifestyle. They even spread bad rumors about the girl so that the Lin Group could hide from this matter. But now, the scandal had made a comeback, and with the exaggeration of many scraps, in a short period, the Lin Group was pushed to the forefront.

At this time, Ye Zhenzhen and Xu Qingru were already preparing to exchange their contracts. However, Xu Qingru’s assistant pushed open the door of the hotel’s banquet hall in a hurry and whispered something into Xu Qingru’s ear. Xu Qingru immediately closed the contract and said to Ye Zhenzhen, “I just received news that something happened to the Lin Group.”

Ye Zhenzhen also looked at her assistant, but she noticed that her assistant’s expression was extremely ugly.

The assistant had already received the call, but she did not dare to tell Ye Zhenzhen because she was afraid of interrupting the signing process. In fact, it was the old lady who had instructed them not to tell her about it, and to trick Taixi into signing the contract first.

“Mr. Xu, look, we’ve already reached this point. Why don’t we sign the contract first and then tell us where we need to improve?” Ye Zhenzhen pretended to know nothing and naively wanted to cooperate.

Xu Qingru waved his hand dismissively and said, “This isn’t a problem that can be solved with improvements. You’d better take a look at what kind of scandals your Lin Group has. Before this matter is perfectly resolved, I think we have to press the pause button for our cooperation.”

After saying that, Xu Qingru stood up from his chair. He said, “Sorry, I’ll be leaving first. ”

Ye Zhenzhen wanted to ask Xu Qingru to stay, but Xu Qingru was so fast that he did not give Ye Zhenzhen a chance.

Ye Zhenzhen sighed and looked at her assistant. She asked, “What happened?”

The assistant then flipped through the news and handed it to Ye Zhenzhen. She reported, “This incident has been brewing since last night. However, it did not spread out on a large scale. The public relations department did not manage to deal with it in time either. Who knew…”

“I remember what happened. I was still young then, and my grandmother dealt with it very cleanly. Why is this dug out now? Why didn’t you remind me earlier?” Ye Zhenzhen asked with a frown. She continued, “If you had reminded me, I could have made up for it and not be so passive.”

“It was the old madam who didn’t allow it. Actually, she wanted to sign the contract without telling Taixi.”

“What kind of company is Taixi? Can we deceive them? Besides, even if they

signed the contract, they can still terminate the contract because of this scandal.” Ye Zhenzhen was speechless. She said, “Now that the contract has been messed up, let’s go back to the Lin Group first.”

“Alright.” The assistant was actually a little worried.

Because Old Madam Lin would definitely find trouble with her later.

Ye Zhenzhen saw her assistant’s panicked expression, so she comforted her, “You don’t have to be afraid. I’ll take care of everything. You’re just an assistant.”

“Thank… Thank you, President Ye. Actually, I’ve been working for Old Madam

Lin. ”

“I know.” Ye Zhenzhen said frankly, “It’s understandable that Grandma doesn’t trust me. You don’t have to put yourself in a difficult position. Just report my work to Grandma as usual.”

The assistant looked at Ye Zhenzhen gratefully and felt that she was starting to admire her more and more.

Because of the sudden incident, the old lady personally went to the Lin Group to attend an emergency meeting.

Everyone knew that someone had done this on purpose, and this scapegoat was naturally Lin Wanli.

Ye Zhenzhen needed some time to return to the company, so when she arrived at the meeting room, the meeting had already started for half an hour.

“Did you get the contract with Taixi?” Old Madam Lin asked as soon as she sat down.

“Grandma, Taixi received a message halfway through signing the contract and has suspended the cooperation with us.” Ye Zhenzhen said honestly.

“Useless! I told you last night that you had to get Taixi’s contract no matter what, but now you’re telling me they’re not signing it? Is this how you betray my trust?” Old Madam Lin was trying to divert the internal conflict by making things difficult for Ye Zhenzhen. When Old Madam Lin handled this matter, she was too forceful and did not have any empathy. It had caused a lot of resentment among the higher-ups.

If she hadn’t tried her best to slander the girl and instead chose to apologize and compensate her, there wouldn’t be a crisis because of this old issue resurfacing again.

Now, she was venting her anger on Ye Zhenzhen?

“I heard that Zhenzhen spent a lot of effort to get Taixi’s contract this time. Besides, it happened so suddenly. Who would have thought that something that happened more than ten years ago would be dug out again? Old Chairman, isn’t it inappropriate to put this on Zhenzhen?” At this moment, a shareholder stood up for Ye Zhenzhen. He continued, “I admit that Zhenzhen was not very capable in the past, but she has changed, hasn’t she? As her grandmother, how can you bully your own people?”

“Director Huang, it’s okay.” Ye Zhenzhen quickly thanked him.

“If you want to blame someone, blame Lin Wanli for being too vicious.”

“What does this have to do with Lin Wanli? How old was Lin Wanli when this happened?” Director Huang continued to laugh, “In the end, it’s all because the old chairman didn’t do well. If she had listened to the shareholders’ suggestions when she handled that matter back then, would there be such a disaster now?”

Old Madam Lin was speechless.

“Since it has already happened, we should think of a way to resolve it. Otherwise, don’t waste everyone’s precious time. Old Chairman, this matter started because of you. Tell me, how do you want everyone to cooperate with you this time?”

“Can’t we just dig out the truth from back then and respond? In fact, back then, it was that girl who stayed up late and died suddenly. It had nothing to do with the Lin Group’s products. Now, it’s just because someone is jealous of our cooperation with Taixi, so they thought of such a vicious trick to stop us from signing the contract. Could it be that the Lin Group can’t even handle such a

small matter?”

“The internet is so advanced now, it’s not like ten years ago. Old Chairman, you’ve already retired from the position of the Chairman, but you’re still unwilling to hand over your power to the younger generation?” Director Huang continued to make things difficult for Old Madam Lin.

“Uncle Huang, I don’t have much experience.” Ye Weiyin said bluntly. She seemed to be protecting the old lady, but in fact, she was pushing the old lady to the opposite side of everyone in the Lin Group.

“Alright, pretend I didn’t say anything. Just do as the old chairman says.”

Old Madam Lin felt that Lin Wanli was vicious and disgusting. However, she did not think that this matter was that difficult to handle.

So what if the Internet was developed?

The truth was the truth. Could it be that black and white could be reversed?

In her opinion, all the mistakes were because of that girl’s poor and indecent life. She even caused the Lin Group to experience a huge crisis back then.

After today’s meeting, everyone understood one thing.

It seemed that the old lady no longer cared about the Lin Group, and in fact, the Ye family’s mother and daughter were just puppets..
