Chapter 1048: Failed Plot, Dingsheng Grows Stronger

Just as everyone was working desperately, Shi Youxuan also did one thing.

She used her connections to find dirt on that woman and her husband; it wasn't difficult, because there was plenty of dirt.

Then she invited the two of them to a coffee shop.

With one hand, she handed over the dirt she had obtained, and with the other, she passed over a black bank card.

Choose for yourselves what you want.

Either take the money and leave, and they would pay to avert disaster.

Or expose Liu Fengchao's scandals; he was currently just a small Department Manager, how much influence could he really have on Dingsheng?

The woman's eyes rolled a few times, still unwilling: "Is this matter just going to end like this?"

Shi Youxuan's face darkened: "People need to know when to stop. Although Dingsheng is just a group company, it wouldn't be difficult to make it impossible for you to survive in L Country. Leave a way out for others, and it will be good for yourselves. What do you think?"

The woman was about to speak, when a newsboy selling papers came over: "Extra, extra! Front page headline! Sir, would you like to buy a newspaper?"

The man glanced at it casually, his eyes immediately widened; he took out some change to buy the paper and read it carefully twice.

Shi Youxuan slowly stirred the coffee in her cup with a small spoon, saying nothing, waiting for the man to finish reading the paper.

She had already known the full content before it was even published.

The time and place chosen for the meeting today were not selected at random either.

The man's attitude did a 180-degree turn; he was all smiles, nodding and bowing: "Mrs. Sheng, this is all a misunderstanding."

He repeatedly stated that he would not cause trouble for Dingsheng in the future, that the matter was settled, and he didn't even intend to take the bank card Shi Youxuan had offered!

"Take it. Think more carefully next time you take a job."

"Thank you, Madam."

The man was respectful and took the bank card with both hands.

The woman still wanted to say more, but was kicked by the man, so she said nothing.

After signing the settlement agreement, the two took the money and left, and the matter was considered resolved.

……

A Country.

The press conference held by Mrs. Chen in A Country had a very good response; she cleared herself completely, and all responsibility was borne by "the glutton."

"The glutton" was dismissed from his post and investigated, stripped of everything.

He used to be a big shot surrounded by people, but now he was a janitor cleaning up in the fire station.

Every day, people pointed at him: "Look, this is the price of offending Dingsheng."

"Pah! Shameless. He has disgraced all of us in L Country."

"Why isn't a person like this in prison? How can he still be out here living freely?"

He thought to himself: Where am I living freely? It would be better to be in prison.

If this kind of freedom were given to you, would you want it?

But he could only think it to himself; he couldn't say it out loud.

Besides that, people often threw rotten vegetable leaves and stinking eggs at him.

"The glutton" lived in misery every day, but no matter how others cursed him, he insisted that he had no backer and that no one had directed him to do it.

Everything was done by himself.

He had no choice but to bear it; swallowing the grievance meant he could still live. If he couldn't even swallow this bit of grievance, he feared his life would be at risk.

With "the glutton" bearing everything, Mrs. Chen was not affected, and naturally, Minister Chen was not affected either!

When one is in a good mood, one recovers quickly.

Soon he was discharged from the hospital. On the day he was discharged, his wife appeared at the hospital entrance on time, her eyes as swollen as walnuts; seeing her husband, she threw herself into his arms and cried incessantly.

After the two got into the car, the wife began to complain.

She wasn't complaining about others, but saying that after he was hospitalized, several stepchildren had kicked her out of the house and even forbidden her from visiting the hospital!

Minister Chen called his children before him and questioned them one by one.

Not only did the children not deny it, but they demanded that their father kick this woman out, cursing her as a femme fatale!

Later, Minister Chen's three children were severely scolded and nearly kicked out of the house.

In this round of PK between Mrs. Chen and the stepchildren, Mrs. Chen won a complete victory.

Her status in the house rose to a new level, and she proudly called her son, praising him for having so many ideas at such a young age, with an IQ similar to his biological father.

Chen Ran's face darkened, very serious: "You must be more careful with your words. Have you forgotten how the Sheng Family turned defeat into victory? We cannot leave others any handle, not even the slightest chance."

"Yes, yes, it was Mom's carelessness. Mommy promises you, I will absolutely never make such a low-level mistake again."

Chen Ran: "My brother is in L Country now; I hope you can protect him well."

Mrs. Chen was displeased: "I don't care. I'll look after my own son; I won't look after someone else's son."

Chen Ran: "If it weren't for my brother this time, you wouldn't have been able to get away so easily. Taking care of him is actually taking care of yourself. With him helping you, whatever you do will be convenient."

The son made sense, so she changed her tune and agreed.

The fact that "the glutton" was able to successfully take the fall this time had a lot to do with Zhu Qingxiang's persuasion.

After Chen Ran had his mother host the press conference, he immediately contacted his brother Zhu Qingxiang, asking him to leave the Island to find "the glutton," explain the severity of the situation, and make him take all the blame!

At a time like this, it was inappropriate for him or his mother to contact "the glutton," as it would easily give others a handle, so his brother was the best candidate.

Zhu Qingxiang did not fail expectations and completed it beautifully; this matter was resolved very satisfactorily.

His mother had beauty but no wisdom, so Chen Ran thought about having his brother stay by her side to assist her, which would be more helpful in completing the great cause his father had left unfinished, but he didn't expect that one oversight would almost ruin everything!

……

Jiangzhou.

With the matters in L Country resolved, the couple returned to Jiangzhou.

It had been a month since she had seen the children and her mother-in-law; when she arrived home, the children hadn't finished school yet, and her parents-in-law were both at home.

Shi Youxuan noticed at first glance that her mother-in-law had lost weight.

Not just a little, but a whole size smaller.

"Mom, is it Wang Yingzhi who came to trouble you again?" Shi Youxuan's face darkened.

This was not actually a question, but a statement of fact.

"No, no."

Wang Yinghao's eyes turned red; it was clearly the case, but she chose to deny it.

"You just got back, go and rest quickly; I'll call you when dinner is ready."

Under these circumstances, who could eat?

Shi Youxuan pulled her mother-in-law into the room to ask, while Sheng Hanyu asked his father what was going on.

Sheng Jiang was easier to break; he told them everything.

Sheng Jiang's eyes turned red: "Hanyu, actually I wanted to call you long ago, but your mother wouldn't let me. Your mother said you were very busy outside with many things to do, and we should solve our own little mess ourselves..."

He began to shed tears, rambling on for a long time, without saying a single useful thing.

He was impatient: "Tell me the main point, don't say useless things."

"Oh, oh, okay."

Sheng Jiang agreed and organized his words: "Wang Yingzhi keeps coming to the house to pester us and throw her weight around."

Sheng Hanyu:...

"Nothing else?"

"Mm, nothing else."

That was the main point, summarized in one sentence.
