Chapter 560: I’m Petty and Must Get Revenge
When Ji Wei came downstairs for lunch, she swung her sore hands back and forth while walking, feeling utterly drained inside.In order not to be late for work, she had exhausted every ounce of strength she had, barely managing to complete the handover and escape from the relentless clutches of a certain "king of jealousy."
Meanwhile, after indulging himself and feeling comfortable, Gu Moqian had drifted off to sleep again. He had flown back late last night and was indeed very tired.
...
As she got out of the car in front of Ji Building, Ji Wei was surprised to find that there wasn’t a single media reporter lingering by the entrance.
Had those reporters decided to retreat in defeat?
Inside the CEO’s office, Ji Wei was flipping through a document and had only read a few pages when someone knocked on the door.
"Come in," she said without looking up.
The door opened, and Mu Jiajiao stood there hesitantly for a few seconds before speaking: "Miss... the shareholders have arrived. They want you to attend the meeting in the conference room."
Upon hearing this, Ji Wei finally raised her head. She stared at Mu Jiajiao with an unreadable expression, making Mu Jiajiao feel incredibly uneasy.
After a moment of silence, Ji Wei responded: "Alright, I understand."
Understand?
So does that mean she’s going or not? Mu Jiajiao couldn’t figure it out and dared not ask further.
"Oh." She stiffly replied, then turned to leave the office.
Once the door was shut, Chen Ke approached Ji Wei and asked, "Madam, what’s your plan?"
Ji Wei continued reviewing the materials and replied, "Of course, I’ll leave those shareholders hanging. At the last meeting, almost all of them stood me up. I’m petty like that—tit for tat and revenge for the smallest grievance."
After finishing, Ji Wei glanced at Chen Ke and gave a faint smile.
Chen Ke silently gave Ji Wei a thumbs-up. So bold and domineering, wasn’t she awesome!
Those shareholders absolutely needed to be taught a lesson. They shouldn’t think they could bully her like she was some pushover!
As Ji Wei continued to delay, the shareholders grew restless and eventually sent President Zhao in to persuade her.
"Mr. Ji, when do you plan to head to the conference room?" President Zhao asked with a forced smile.
"Why should I go?" Ji Wei lifted her head and countered, her aura unmistakably commanding.
President Zhao managed an awkward smile. "Actually, the shareholders primarily called this meeting to discuss crisis management. Right now, the defamatory rumors about you circulating online have become widespread, and the gossip is seriously damaging Ji Family’s reputation."
He paused briefly before adding, "In fact, you might want to consider holding a press conference to clarify things."
Ji Wei chuckled lightly. "Uncle Zhao, regarding the online defamation, I’ve already delegated it entirely to my lawyer. There’s no need to hold any press conference." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novᴇlfire.net
Holding a press conference was equivalent to letting others dictate the narrative.
Rather than being driven by circumstance, she preferred to seize the initiative.
"Delegated... to a lawyer?" President Zhao was visibly taken aback.
Ji Wei gave Chen Ke a look.
Understanding her signal, Chen Ke walked over, pulled out her phone, and showed President Zhao a webpage.
"This Lawyer Pei has already posted the court complaint documents, filing lawsuits against those responsible for the defamatory articles. Most of these articles distort the truth, so winning the case is only a matter of time."
Chen Ke continued scrolling down. "Moreover, because of the lawsuit, the culprits behind the rumors no longer dare to make new posts. They’ve gone completely silent. Take a look at the comments below—many people are now starting to question the credibility of the rumors and are showing support for Mr. Ji. Given this situation, do you still think holding a press conference is necessary, President Zhao?"
President Zhao was at a loss for words.
At the last shareholders’ meeting, he had privately harbored dissatisfaction toward Ji Wei. Today, he had wanted to capitalize on the shareholders’ outrage to put Ji Wei in a tough spot, but he hadn’t anticipated things turning out this way.
It was like preparing for a punch with full force, only to have all the energy rebound straight back.
Looking visibly unsettled, President Zhao walked out of the office.
As soon as he stepped outside, the anxious shareholders hurriedly surrounded him and asked, "Old Zhao, so how was it? Did that impostor agree to hold the press conference?"
