At the Jiang Group, everyone was in their seats for the meeting, including Jiang Zhenhuan and Jiang Zhaolin. Unprecedentedly, even Jiang Shiyi was present. Today’s main focus—

Jiang Yanting!

The seat reserved for him was empty; he hadn’t yet arrived.

”President Jiang, where is he?” The meeting was already overdue, and someone asked Jiang Zhenhuan.

”Do you ask me? How would I know?” Jiang Zhenhuan’s face was stern, showing neither joy nor anger.

The crowd: ”...”

You are his father, how do you not know where he went.

”Actually, his presence doesn’t really matter today. Today is about making our stance clear. Once the decision is made, we just need to inform him,” Jiang Zhaolin suddenly spoke up, then looked towards Jiang Zhenhuan, ”What do you think?”

”You’ve already arranged everything, why ask me!”

He fired back harshly.

Jiang Zhaolin was neither shocked nor angry, ”Actually, who he associates with is his personal matter. However, under the current circumstances with the Xie Family’s aunt, her public reputation really isn’t good, and he even declared he would advance or retreat with her. Under these circumstances, our company’s reputation might inevitably suffer...”

”I’ve always felt personal emotions shouldn’t mix with business affairs, yet reality often blurs the lines.”

”The impact this situation has caused to the company is clearer to everyone present than to me. I am not asking him to leave the company, but I do believe his current state truly makes him unsuitable for the position of general manager. What does everyone think?”

Inside the conference room, there were clear divides and arguments, with some agreeing and naturally quite a few dissenting opinions.

Jiang Zhenhuan sat at the head, watching coldly, as if the unfolding events had nothing to do with him.

...

The atmosphere at the Xie Family’s press conference was even more subtle and tense.

Although Zhong Jijun dropped several depth charges, all were countered by Shen Zhixian. He accused Shen Zhixian of slandering his son’s arrest, but as the police handle the cases, even if she was underage, without evidence, it wouldn’t reach the prosecution stage.

He had said too much earlier, nearly causing headaches, yet upon careful reconsideration,

Even the netizens before the live broadcast had sensed something off.

Shen Zhixian’s rebuttals were verifiable later and undeniable, while Zhong Jijun relied on gimmicks to attract attention. Speaking of solid evidence, he actually had none.

At first hearing his words, they seemed fresh and exciting, but they were full of holes and couldn’t withstand scrutiny.

”If this were me, having gone abroad to study, I wouldn’t want any contact with such a family. What are they even trying to do?”

”I really don’t know how she managed before.”

”I have never seen such brazen shamelessness, taking advantage of honest people. If it weren’t for the Xie Family supporting her today, she’d probably only be able to swallow her suffering.”

”That’s damn shameful, just scram already, why are you still standing there?”

...

Even some journalists below were indignant, ”Enough has been said, why aren’t you gone already?”

”Doing such despicable things, you still have the face to stand up there, come down immediately.”

”Scram—”

Zhong Jijun clenched his teeth, his cheeks swollen from slapping, looking at Shen Zhixian with a fierce expression, as if he wished he could flay and debone her.

”If you were really so chaste, where did this illegitimate daughter come from?”

”You and your mother are alike, unmarried, just bearing children for men.”

”I guess you went wild abroad, not knowing which foreign man fathered this child.”

”I bet even you don’t know who the child’s father is, why else would you hide and not dare to show the child publicly?”

”That man you’re seeing, does he know he’s about to be a cheap dad, raising another man’s daughter?”

Coarse people spoke with extreme acidity, and the members of the Xie Family standing behind all frowned deeply.

”Father, please have someone throw him out, he’s shameless.” Xie Tongtong, well-mannered, wished she had learned a few swear words to scold him properly, feeling it was a waste not to lash out at this trash.

”Zhong Jijun, say something about my daughter again?”

A mother’s fury is strong, cursing a child is absolutely intolerable for parents.

”She’s nothing but a wild child you had with some random man—”
