"Manager Song, this is all your doing!"
"If the company goes bankrupt, you will be held responsible for this."
Ma Rulong stomped his foot fiercely, saying with a look of disappointment that he couldn't be proud.
"Hmph, I think the main responsibility for this matter ultimately lies with that woman, Xia Yuqing."
"They say Daji ruined the country. I think she's the Daji who bewitched Manager Song, and she can't do anything right herself, instead making Manager Song do such a foolish thing."
Bao Jing chimed in beside him, speaking sarcastically about Xia Yuqing.
Seeing that the company was on the verge of collapse, she now addressed Song Qiao and Xia Yuqing by their names.
Looking at the shareholders, some gloating, some panicking, Song Qiao smiled disdainfully and put away his phone.
He deliberately lowered his voice and instructed Qin Ya, "Quickly go invite them. Today, I will make them understand what it means to be publicly slapped in the face."
Qin Ya, as one of the veterans of Xiang Piaopiao, immediately understood her boss's intentions.
She cast a sympathetic glance at the few blind shareholders and hurried to the reception room.
...
When Ye Zhiwei drove back to the company, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't affixed the company seal to the contract she gave to Song Qiao.
She patted her head in annoyance, afraid that Song Qiao would misunderstand because of this.
So, she quickly called her assistant, Zhou Zhou, and handed her the company seal of Lan Hai Industrial, instructing her to deliver it to Tianhong as quickly as possible.
As soon as Zhou Zhou arrived with Qin Ya, the shareholders nervously surrounded them.
They babbled, trying to distance themselves from Song Qiao.
"Miss Zhou, I assume you're aware of the situation, but this matter was entirely Song Qiao's own decision from start to finish. It has nothing to do with us shareholders."
"That's right, Manager Zhou. All of this was a fake contract that Song Qiao fabricated to show off. Fortunately, we discovered it in time."
"If your company intends to sue, please spare our Tianhong. We have elderly parents and young children..."
Zhou Zhou looked at the people speaking incoherently around her, completely confused.
What fake contract? Didn't President Ye say she was sending me to stamp the contract? What nonsense are these people spouting?
"Hahaha, when the wall falls, everyone pushes. Song Qiao, I don't see how you can turn this around now."
Xia Haibin couldn't help but burst into laughter seeing the scene of Lan Hai's betrayal.
"Manager Song, what exactly is going on?"
She hesitated, asking Song Qiao with difficulty.
"Oh, it's nothing. Who knows what they're acting crazy about here."
Song Qiao smiled and waved his hand, shaking hands with her politely.
He had seen this assistant by Ye Zhiwei's side before, so they were somewhat familiar.
"Manager Song, President Ye suddenly remembered after returning to the company that she forgot to stamp your contract, so she quickly sent me with another one."
As Zhou Zhou spoke, she took out a brand-new contract from her briefcase.
Aside from the freshly stamped red seal, it was identical to the one that had just been torn up.
For a moment, the entire room fell silent again.
All the shareholders stood awkwardly, their faces turning ashen.
Xia Yuqing covered her mouth in astonishment.
Lan Hai Industrial had indeed signed a contract with her husband, and they were so proactive about it.
"Heh, it's fine. My employees were just doubting the authenticity of the contract because of the seal."
Song Qiao smiled knowingly and took the contract from Zhou Zhou.
When Qin Ya reported the situation to him, he had already guessed Ye Zhiwei's intention in sending her assistant.
"I understand, Manager Song. President Ye values this cooperation very much. It concerns the reputation of our Lan Hai, and I have an obligation to clarify things."
Combined with what the shareholders had just said, Zhou Zhou immediately understood what Song Qiao meant.
She smiled knowingly at Song Qiao, cleared her throat, and walked onto the ceremony stage.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I am President Ye's assistant from Lan Hai Industrial. There is something I need to clarify publicly to everyone."
Her words immediately drew everyone's attention.
Many faces were filled with anticipation, as they hoped Assistant Zhou would expose Song Qiao's forged contract trick.
"Our President Ye said that Lan Hai Industrial and Manager Song's Tianhong Media are the closest strategic partners. Manager Song has helped Lan Hai twice before and is a benefactor to Lan Hai."
"This ten-million-dollar project was a cooperation specifically signed by President Ye with Manager Song after considering Tianhong's strength. There is no such thing as a forged contract."
"I hope everyone can open their eyes and not be deceived by some people with ulterior motives."
These few sentences struck everyone present like thunderbolts.
The contract was real! Song Qiao hadn't lied from beginning to end!
The shareholders' faces flushed with embarrassment, and many lowered their heads in shame, not daring to meet Song Qiao's gaze.
Recalling their behavior just now, they all felt like clowns who had been publicly humiliated.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Song Qiao thanked Zhou Zhou and then had his secretary escort her away.
After she left, everyone around them immediately changed their tune.
"I knew Manager Song, with his great vision, wouldn't do something like this."
"Yes, I didn't expect Manager Song to be able to sign a contract with Lan Hai. Isn't this saying that our Tianhong is about to soar?"
They spoke one after another, completely changed from their previous behavior of kicking him when he was down.
Those who had surrounded Xia Haibin now looked at him with contempt and distanced themselves.
It was this guy who had been constantly sowing discord, misleading them into taking the wrong side.
"Song Qiao, you're lucky this time, but listen to me, we're not done with our business."
Xia Haibin, seeing that he had become a public enemy, naturally felt ashamed to stay any longer. He gritted his teeth, uttered a harsh threat to Song Qiao, and left the scene angrily.
"Pah, what is he? He clearly stirred up trouble for no reason and dares to try and scheme against our Manager Song."
"Who says not? Some people just like to do things that harm others and benefit themselves."
As soon as he left, several shareholders began to curse him, seemingly trying to curry favor with Song Qiao.
However, Song Qiao remained expressionless, looking at the people whose faces had changed like a Sichuan opera performer, with a half-smile and mocking,
"Can you all have some backbone? Why are you so quickly fawning over the Song Qiao you considered heinous just now?"
