Translator: 549690339

In front of everyone, Zhu Wentao was taken away by the staff of the Procuratorate.

Zhu Group’s stock price plummeted to the limit.

Following the entertainment news of Liang Yanran’s suicide, TV stations, newspapers, and financial magazines began to report extensively on Zhu Group’s news, and at the same time, the scandal of Zhu Wentao’s extramarital affairs was also exposed.

As the head of a listed company, in order to maintain the company’s image and development, it is essential to ensure the stability of the family structure and to stay above reproach, allowing the public to perceive you as a stable and reliable person. Only then can people trust you to manage and develop the company well, lead everyone to make money together, and not be perceived as someone who is fickle and unfaithful. With such an unreliable image, how can people feel confident investing their hard -earned money in you, only to end up losing everything in the end?

This time, the internet was filled with criticism of Zhu Wentao. Meanwhile, the Securities Regulatory Commission disclosed many internal issues of Zhu

Group, including market manipulation, illegal operations, and financial fraud. Every group has its own issues; it just depends on whether anyone investigates them. Zhu Group couldn’t survive this crisis.

Because it involved too many people, some of them were migrant workers who had used their life savings for down payments but couldn’t afford to finish paying for their homes or get property certificates, becoming the most innocent victims in this power and money struggle.

These migrant workers held banners in their hands, with the bloodcurdling words “Zhu Group, Pay Back Our Money” written on them, shocking the public.

There were also many discussions about it on the school forum.

—Did you guys hear about Zhu Group? My dad said the issue is serious this time, Zhu Wentao was taken away for investigation by the Procuratorate this morning.

—None of the businessmen these days are clean. It’s just a matter of being exposed or not. No, it should be the difference between giving gifts and not giving gifts. I think Zhu Group must have offended someone.

—My mom works in a bank, and she said Zhu Wentao got trapped this time, with a failed financing and many loans. Even if he sells the company, it won’t be enough to cover the loss. He’ll definitely go to jail.

—With the fall of Zhu Group, Zhu Mingjing is no longer the young mistress of the Zhus. Poor girl, she only returned a few months ago and barely got to enjoy the wealth before becoming poor.

—The one above must be Zhang Jingwen’s alternate account, enjoying other people’s misfortune like this.

—To the person above, how much did the Zhus pay you to whitewash their image? Do you know how many people Zhu Group hurt this time? How many families lost their life savings, and how many ordinary people had their hard-earned money squandered? The crimes of Zhu Group are too numerous to list. As the young mistress of the Zhus, Zhu Mingjing enjoyed the wealth and glory of the Zhus. How can she be detached from the Zhus’ troubles? There’s no such logic. She shares the Zhus’ glory and downfall.

—Don’t mix up the Zhus with Zhu Mingjing – they’re different.

—Here come the whitewashing water armies again, must be Zhu Mingjing’s supporters. Even when they’re about to go bankrupt, they still have money to buy water armies. It would be much better to compensate those migrant workers, reducing their debt and accumulating some virtue.

The forum was about to erupt into a fight when someone noticed they had been banned from speaking.

High Mountains and Flowing Rivers – issued a new announcement: From today onwards, posting unrelated content to studying is forbidden in the forum. Offenders will be banned and kicked out. Everyone, please be aware.

Upon this announcement, the forum fell silent.

No one knew who this “High Mountains and Flowing Rivers” was, but he had administrator privileges and deep influence in the forum – like a king.

As soon as he appeared, those who were causing trouble quieted down.

Charles Gao left the forum and glanced at the latest financial news. Everyone was paying attention to the latest developments of Zhu Group.

Even Weibo had exposed the matter, showing how widespread the coverage was.

The more Charles Gao read, the deeper his frown became. He took out his phone and called Ming Jing.

After ringing twice, the other party picked up. Charles asked anxiously: “Ming Jing, are you okay? I heard about what happened to Zhu Group. Don’t go out for the time being. I’m worried those people will vent their anger on you and cause you harm.”

A soft and gentle voice of the girl came through the phone, seemingly unbothered by the crisis Zhu Group was facing, as if she was watching the fire from the other side of the river.

“Thank you, I’m fine.”

“Do you need the Gaos’ help?” Charles thought, as long as she needed it, he would offer it unconditionally.

“Zhu Group is now a hot potato. If you genuinely care about me, choose to protect yourself wisely. ”

Charles was stunned for a moment, a warm current flowing through his heart..
