My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 940 - 840: A Woman Without Limits

[It should be Chapter 940, sob, sob, got it wrong]

Ye Fan and Mengyao arrived at the scene, Shen Zhengqing, Lu Gaoyi, and Yu Zhihui came out to greet them.

"President Chu, you’re so busy, I’m very sorry to disturb you over such a small matter, it’s my failure in work, I bear responsibility." Shen Zhengqing apologized regretfully.

Lu Gaoyi and Yu Zhihui followed behind Shen Zhengqing, their faces pale.

The outside world is in chaos, with discussions raging; as key leaders of Shuiyu, they naturally cannot escape responsibility, how could they not worry?

"Human life is of utmost importance, how can it be a small matter?" Mengyao glanced sideways at Shen Zhengqing and the others, speaking coldly.

"You’re right, President, it’s not a small matter, it’s not a small matter." Shen Zhengqing said shamefully, "I am entrusted by the company to handle all matters related to live streaming. Now such a big incident has occurred, I cannot escape responsibility, I have let down the President’s trust."

"No more formal words, do you have any clue about what actually happened?" Mengyao asked impatiently.

"I don’t know either, I’m at a loss here, who could have imagined Wu Xiuchun would suddenly die during a live stream? I was shocked when I heard the news, so I immediately reported to the police, and the scene is now cordoned off and under investigation." Shen Zhengqing said in a panic.

Shuiyu Company is under strict control, Zhang Lu’s people have already taken control of the company’s access points.

Upon entering the company, Shen Zhengqing eagerly asked, "President, would you and Mr. Ye like something to drink?"

Shen Zhengqing has attended core high-level meetings of Chu Group, so he is very familiar with Ye Fan.

"No need to bother, we are here to understand the situation, not for tea. With such a major incident, we need to give an explanation to the outside world and find out the truth as soon as possible for the company’s reputation." Mengyao stated firmly.

"Absolutely, absolutely, if I am involved in violations or have done anything against the company, I am willing to be punished." Shen Zhengqing immediately declared, pledging earnestly, "I will order everyone to cooperate without any resistance and hope to find out all the facts quickly."

"You’ve arrived." Zhang Lu came over, accompanied by several colleagues.

"How is the investigation going?" Mengyao asked with concern.

"The investigation is proceeding further, but it might take some time to yield results." Zhang Lu nodded and then looked at Shen Zhengqing and the others, seriously saying, "You three also need to provide statements, we want to understand more details."

"Of course, of course, we will speak openly without reservation, certainly cooperating wholeheartedly." Shen Zhengqing promised, and Lu Gaoyi and Yu Zhihui earnestly nodded in agreement.

"Don’t try to deceive or conceal information affecting the investigation’s progress, disclose everything that should be disclosed." Mengyao warned Shen Zhengqing and the others sternly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The three responded quickly.

The trio followed Zhang Lu’s subordinates for questioning.

In the room, only Ye Fan, Mengyao, and Zhang Lu remained.

"Tell us what you know." Ye Fan said calmly.

Zhang Lu glanced mockingly at Ye Fan and Mengyao before complaining, "In ZH City, I suffered tremendously, went to great lengths, risked life and limb helping you. It’s exhausting, sincerely devoted. I’ve just arrived in DF City and haven’t even warmed my seat, yet I’m already busy with your issues. You tell me, how hard I’ve worked—are you heartless? You forgot me as soon as you reached DF City, no intention of inviting me for a meal to express gratitude. Tell me, am I not disappointed?"

"We’re so familiar, you’re busy claiming credit, isn’t it too distant? You’re too conventional." Ye Fan responded.

"I’m conventional?" Zhang Lu pointed at herself, laughing in anger, glaring, "I am conventional, don’t you know? Knowing I’m conventional, yet not playing by conventional rules—have you any conscience?"

"Once a woman gets upset, she’s unreasonable, completely illogical. Don’t argue with Zhang Lu right now." Mengyao whispered a couple of words to Ye Fan, then looked at Zhang Lu, saying, "Fine, after this matter, I’ll personally make dumplings to express my gratitude to Officer Zhang."

"That’s more like it, look how Mengyao knows how to treat people, making dumplings with her own hands—that’s friendship. Unlike you, clueless about social niceties." Zhang Lu smiled with satisfaction, still criticizing Ye Fan.

She jestingly and earnestly spoke a few words before solemnly saying, "Things are rather complicated; Wu Xiuchun’s suicide might not be simple. Based on current information, Wu Xiuchun was arrogant, vain, domineering, and had poor relationships with colleagues; her reputation there was bad. To climb up, she cozied up to superiors and rose from an unknown role to a popular anchor. There are plenty of dark tales, many colleagues testify eloquently, pointing out that Wu Xiuchun often entered hotels with former superiors. Privately, colleagues say Wu Xiuchun relied on selling her body to reach today’s status, and even today, numerous former superiors support her, mixing with those people is a prerequisite."

What Zhang Lu mentioned are indeed facts.

In the company, Wu Xiuchun treated colleagues of lower status and position poorly—whether a makeup artist or her assistant, she displayed a superior attitude, disregarding anyone.

Verbal abuse, sarcastic ridicule—this was Wu Xiuchun’s way towards nearby colleagues.

Of course, Wu Xiuchun knew whom she could offend and whom she couldn’t; she was only harsh towards those below her, showing great respect in front of Shen Zhengqing, Lu Gaoyi, and Yu Zhihui like an innocent girl never encountering society.

This was Wu Xiuchun, playing two different roles on-stage and off-stage.

This morning, when threatened, Wu Xiuchun naturally lost her previous arrogance. What she thought of was preserving her reputation—everything she painstakingly attained couldn’t be in vain.

To reach today’s heights, Wu Xiuchun sacrificed greatly.

She didn’t want to lose it all like this, so her final words followed the instructions of those threatening her.

While mentioning death during live streaming, naturally, Wu Xiuchun was mournful; fans unanimously urged her to commit suicide live—this was a significant blow to her.

From this point, Wu Xiuchun’s psychological state was evident; she was desperate to protect what she achieved. Under this premise, she naturally looked down on those lesser than herself.
