Chapter 658: I’ll Consider It A Pa.s.s
If she didn’t want to spare Huang Yao this time, the company’s positive image would be tarnished in the hearts of the customers.
Therefore, Miss Gao’s att.i.tude was very important.
But she had stated clearly that she wouldn’t reconcile with Huang Yao and she said that she wanted to witness Huang Yao lose its reputation. Now that she was going to speak again, did it mean that she would expose more exclusive details about her meetings with Huang Yao?
Unexpectedly, Miss Gao apologized to the public this time. Then, she showed a medical diagnosis she had prepared beforehand and revealed that she had some problems with her vision lately. Her vision got blurry at times, so the selection of the diamond might not have been done carefully on her part. She said that she was partly at fault for not being able to do a good job in distinguis.h.i.+ng real and fake diamonds. Under this premise, she concluded that this incident happened solely because of staff issues in the company, rather than because of quality issues of the diamonds. This also meant that the quality of the diamonds sold by Huang Yao could still be trusted. And now that Huang Yao had added a procedure to test the authenticity of the diamonds, the problem was basically solved. So, the immediate problem Huang Yao had to solve was the internal conflict among the staff members.
Once the influencer led the problem to the right track, the public’s attention was once again drawn to the problem itself.
It also meant that it was meaningless for the media to continue reporting on the news that Huang Yao was selling fake goods.
As for the rich woman, as predicted by Mu Qiqi, after the statement made by Miss Gao, she was no longer an important player in this. There wasn’t a perfect person in this world, so it was impossible for one to expect a company to not make any mistake. Time should at least be given to them to solve problems.
Besides, since Huang Yao was already working hard to solve the problem and the police were also trying their best to find the suspect, Miss Gao reckoned that she shouldn’t make use of her fame to bring harm to Huang Yao.
Once the situation improved, everyone in Huang Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Although the negative impact the issue brought unto Huang Yao hadn’t been totally eradicated yet, the stress and tension were lifted off their shoulders.
“Miss Mu is really very capable and smart. Maybe it’s her keenness as a forensic doctor that enables her to see things we can’t. When we went to meet Miss Gao, I thought we would have to kneel down and apologize.” This was what Ren Yufei felt after working with her for half a day.
Sheng Bowen laughed after hearing that. “Xiao Qi had extended her helping hand and it had achieved the desired effect. We should also work hard to complete our tasks.”
Then, Sheng Bowen looked at his watch. “Let’s go. It’s going to be late. When the police bring the person back, we should meet Sheng Kai.”
From the bottom of his heart, Sheng Bowen admitted that Mu Qiqi had helped a lot this time.
Eighth Brother and his wife were the helpers in his life. Meanwhile, he learned something about Mu Qiqi’s meticulousness. At least now, he would be more confident when he faced similar problems.
…
Mu Qiqi was very satisfied when she watched Miss Gao giving her statement on the television. She had made the lady convey precisely what she intended to tell the public. At least for now, the mountain-like burden on Huang Yao was lifted.
“Third Brother should be able to relax a bit now,” Mu Qiqi said, leaning against Sheng Xiao’s office table.
“Nice work.” Sheng Xiao praised her without raising his head. “You know how to use existing information to fight back.”
Mu Qiqi walked around the table and sat on Sheng Xiao’s lap. “I learned from the best. I’m influenced by you and know how to hit a home run in one blow.”
“But you’re still not thorough enough,” Sheng Xiao said looking at her. “You only managed to save your own life. I’ll still consider it a pa.s.s, but you haven’t learned the most important thing, that is, to strike back.”
“Huh?”
“Have you forgotten this? If you play with fire, you get burned?”
Mu Qiqi suddenly realized that Sheng Xiao was reminding her not to forget the one who set the fire.
Once Huang Yao’s crisis had been overcome, it would be the time for the source to suffer.
So, on that very night, there were rumors saying that the incident of Huang Yao selling fake diamonds was a scheme.
Some sources said that the person who planned this was closely related to the Sheng family and that his motive was to get revenge.
What’s more, since Sheng Kai had been trying to sell his shares lately, the public naturally pinpointed at him as the suspect.
The ent.i.ties that had been planning to buy the shares in Sheng Kai’s hand backed out automatically after knowing how deep the hatred Sheng Kai had toward the Sheng family. They did not want to get entangled in the messy conflicts of a big family.
On top of that, because of Sheng Bowen’s calmness and steadiness, the situation in Huang Yao was stabilized. This could be considered as a blessing brought by his loyalty and honesty. At times like this, this kind of person could gain trust from other people more easily.
The thrilling experience from these two days was a bit too overwhelming for Huang Yao.
Sheng Bowen worked overtime in the office until late at night. When he raised his head and saw the secretary, he felt sorry for her.
So, he got up and walked to Ren Yufei. “You can get off work. You don’t have to stay here. Huang Yao has overcome the crisis. Go and rest, or go on a date with your boyfriend.”
Ren Yufei looked at Sheng Bowen’s tall figure and nodded. “Alright, I’ll go home then.”
This little lady was indeed very warm-hearted and righteous. She had done her best for Huang Yao.
…
The fake diamond incident came and went so quickly like a storm to Huang Yao. After Sheng Bowen settled the work in Huang Yao, he went home and told Grandpa Sheng about Mu Qiqi’s contribution.
After knowing that, Grandpa Sheng sighed repet.i.tively. “Wouldn’t it be great if this girl didn’t become a forensic doctor and help to manage Huang Yao instead?”
“Grandpa…”
“I know. I know she’s not interested in this and I won’t force her either. This time, Huang Yao was able to overcome the crisis in such a short time thanks to her cleverness. Treat her to lunch next time and thank her for me.”
After listening to Grandpa Sheng’s order, Sheng Bowen laughed. This old man had indeed changed after recovering from his illness.
He was willing to be more understanding now.
“Although Huang Yao has overcome the crisis, you still have to settle the problem with Sheng Kai. Don’t show mercy this time. And by the way, you have become single again since you are divorced. You should think about your personal matters too. I won’t force you to marry any rich lady. You can just choose someone you like and be nice to her.”
