My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 943: Mengyao’s Reprimand

In the conference room of Shuiyu Company, Mengyao sat in the main seat, Du Xueqi sat next to her, and Shen Zhengqing, Lu Gaoyi, and Yu Zhihui were also present.

At this moment, Shen Zhengqing and the others were quite uneasy. Although the President hadn’t said anything, their negligence had caused such a significant impact, and naturally, they couldn’t escape responsibility.

"As far as I know, Wu Xiuchun hasn’t been living an exemplary life. Didn’t you know this? Especially you, Director Lu, your relationship with Wu Xiuchun is quite special," Mengyao asked sharply.

"What’s going on?" Shen Zhengqing’s gaze immediately shot towards Lu Gaoyi, full of dissatisfaction.

Yu Zhihui also locked her questioning eyes on Lu Gaoyi.

For the President to say such things, it proves that there must be an issue with Lu Gaoyi.

"I indeed had an inappropriate relationship with Wu Xiuchun, but it has nothing to do with work. Besides, I knew nothing about Wu Xiuchun’s death, and I’m not insane enough to kill her. I’m timid and wouldn’t dare to commit murder," Lu Gaoyi lowered his head, dispiritedly defending himself, "The company hires employees based on their professional skills, regardless of their family background or personal character. Wu Xiuchun’s moral standards may be lacking, but it doesn’t affect her capabilities."

Wu Xiuchun’s phone had the dirt on her and Lu Gaoyi.

Mengyao learned this from Zhang Lu’s investigation results, unknown to Shen Zhengqing and the others. Lu Gaoyi admitted this because he couldn’t lie before President Chu.

"I don’t care about your personal relationship with Wu Xiuchun, but if I discover you’ve made any deals using your position, the consequences should be clear to you; you understand your fate," Mengyao said coldly.

"I don’t engage in illegal activities; I can swear on it, and President Shen can vouch for me. I am a principled person," Lu Gaoyi declared confidently, using Shen Zhengqing as his shield.

"I’ll deal with your matters later, but if I find you’ve messed around, I’ll strip your hide," Shen Zhengqing said angrily, then turned to Mengyao with remorse, "President, I am responsible for the misuse of personnel. I will thoroughly investigate Lu Gaoyi’s situation. If there are minor issues, there will be minor punishments; if major issues are found, they will be severely punished."

Shen Zhengqing originally planned to take a leave and let Lu Gaoyi temporarily assume his duties; now it’s impossible.

His wife and children are abroad; his child is seriously ill and continuously receiving advanced treatment overseas.

Not long ago, his child suffered a shock, which almost drove him to worry madness, so these days he’s been arranging work handovers, only to have unexpected events completely mess up his schedule.

Lu Gaoyi’s face turned ashen, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Yu Zhihui was Lu Gaoyi’s subordinate; even if she had anything to say, she wouldn’t dare scold her superior face-to-face, remaining silent.

"If there is a problem, it will be severely punished; my Chu Group doesn’t keep troublemakers. If there isn’t a problem, then everyone’s happy. I do hope Director Lu is a man of integrity; don’t give me the chance to deal with you," Mengyao said meaningfully.

"I have no issues, absolutely none," Lu Gaoyi responded firmly.

"That’s good, let’s hope it’s as Director Lu said," Mengyao nodded and then signaled to Du Xueqi.

Du Xueqi was about to distribute Wu Xiuchun’s investigation materials.

Shen Zhengqing quickly rose, took the materials from Du Xueqi’s hands, and smiled, saying, "Secretary Du, let me handle it."

Du Xueqi didn’t object, and Shen Zhengqing distributed the materials to Lu Gaoyi, Yu Zhihui, and kept a copy for himself.

"These are the investigation materials of Wu Xiuchun. Take a brief look, and come up with a response plan to suppress the external negative comments," Mengyao said calmly. If Shen Zhengqing and the others couldn’t resolve such minor issues, it would be a waste.

Shen Zhengqing is the direct responsible person to clarify the cause of Wu Xiuchun’s death and guide public opinion, naturally with credibility.

So Mengyao could watch behind the scenes, not needing to intervene personally for such trivial matters.

Mengyao wasn’t in a hurry. After the three reviewed the materials, she said, "Have you come up with a response method?"

"With these materials, the negative public opinion surrounding Wu Xiuchun’s death can be suppressed. Not only that, I can ensure that the buzz caused by Wu Xiuchun’s death will boost Shuiyu’s popularity significantly, turning the negative impact into a positive image effortlessly," Shen Zhengqing confidently stated, then personally appointed, "As for the specifics, let Director Lu prepare a brief."

Shen Zhengqing intentionally appointed, wanting Lu Gaoyi to show his capabilities in front of the President.

This way, recommending Lu Gaoyi to take over his work would be justified.

What Shen Zhengqing never expected was that Lu Gaoyi wasn’t focused on the materials. He was contemplating other issues. His improper relationship with Wu Xiuchun seemed minor compared to the larger problem. Once investigated, his future could be ruined. It’s now a crucial moment for him to step up, and an incident occurred at this juncture, naturally making him anxious.

Hence, he absent-mindedly skimmed through Wu Xiuchun’s materials.

"Make a brief presentation? What should I say?" Lu Gaoyi snapped back upon Shen Zhengqing’s naming him, his spine chilled as he stammered, "Regarding Wu Xiuchun’s incident, I’m not really clear, let Little Yu briefly explain the solution plan."

After saying this, Lu Gaoyi buried his head into his chest; if there were a crack in the ground, he wished he could dive into it. Now, he’s furious with Shen Zhengqing for forcing him to come forward, wasn’t this making him a laughing stock? 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Only Lu Gaoyi’s mind is currently not sharp; otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have come up with such a foolish thought.

He’d surely understand Shen Zhengqing intentionally wanted him to demonstrate his skills to the superior.

His current display of ineptitude frustrated Shen Zhengqing immensely.

"You fool, the small issue between you and Wu Xiuchun is no big deal. I’m letting you showcase your skills to erase this little negative image and leave a good impression with the President, so recommending you to take over my duties will go smoothly. Are you brainless?"

"Pushing this small matter to Yu Zhihui, and using formal tones for addressing Little Yu during usual times is fine; but carelessly saying these things during critical moments indicates your status compared to Yu Zhihui, are you courting death?"

"You damn fool, you’ve utterly humiliated me,"

Shen Zhengqing cursed angrily in his heart, wishing he could tear Lu Gaoyi to shreds.
