Chapter 618: We must distinguish right from wrong
After being PUA'd by Chris, Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song returned to their workstations, both of them looked a little depressed.

However, they still cheered up and started working on new projects without stopping.

Qi Song directly took out a document and said to Jiang Xiaoguo:

"Look, this is an alternative plan I prepared when we were studying Milin before, white wine!"

Their main product is a data-based bottled wine. I think the concept of data is quite novel!
"Data-based bottled wine?" Jiang Xiaoguo shook his head and said:
"I have never heard of this term. I don't have this concept in my mind. Tell me about their philosophy first, and then send me the information!"

"Actually, it's easy to understand. They just don't have fancy packaging, and then..." Qi Song then introduced the concept of this liquor.

After listening to Qi Song's introduction, Jiang Xiaoguo said with great interest:

“This project is indeed quite novel, but neither of us seem to know much about liquor, so we need to do more competitive product analysis!”

"One more~!" Before Jiang Xiaoguo could finish her words, Chris suddenly came to the big office.

Then Chris said happily to everyone:
"Everyone, come for afternoon tea. Alex is treating us today!"

"Why are you suddenly treating us? Is there some good news?" Jiang Xiaoguo asked curiously.

Chris smiled and announced:
"It's like this. Alex and I successfully invested in Huaqingji's Series C financing!"

"As everyone knows, Huaqingji is the top domestic cosmetics brand. We wanted to get involved in it as early as the angel round, but we just didn't have the opportunity. In this round of C financing, we finally succeeded in getting the investment share!"

"It is said that it is a unicorn that has received this investment, and the share is not low~!"

Qi Song was not affected at all by what he heard, and concentrated on researching the liquor project, while Jiang Xiaoguo said with some envy:
"Huaqingji's Series C financing is so big. I've never heard of them talking about it before!"

Xiao Wang, who was in charge of delivering afternoon tea to everyone, said:
“Maybe the bigger the project, the tighter it is kept!”

"We just found out about it, too. Alex asked us to have a celebration party. I heard that the contract was signed at noon today!"

"Ah~!" Jiang Xiaoguo sighed and said with some envy:
"The ceiling for beauty and special care products is so high. Just putting a layer of stuff on your face is a market worth hundreds of billions. It's our turn now!"

"But Alex would probably be very happy!"

Sister Wang, who lived next door to Jiang Xiaoguo, shook her head when she heard Jiang Xiaoguo's envious sigh, thinking that Jiang Xiaoguo was still too young. She was being sold and still helping others count money!

Qi Song calmed down his emotions and said:

"Let's study our liquor project. No matter how good Huaqingji is, it's not our project!"

······
On the other hand, Jiang Lanzhou called all the responsible persons to the office for a meeting.

Jiang Lanzhou said with an unpleasant expression:

"The contract of everyone in each department has expired. This letter on the screen is from Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend to Liang Shuang. Xiao Dong, please read it!"

In the letter from Zhang Pengcheng’s girlfriend, it was stated that the reason for Zhang Pengcheng’s car accident was that after being kicked out of Liang Shuang’s team, he was overly tired and under great mental stress, which led to the car accident on his way home from get off work.

Before Xiao Dong finished reading the envelope, Jiang Lanzhou said:

"Just read out Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend's accusation!"

At this time, there was silence in the office. Xiao Dong looked around and continued to speak:

"First, he ignored the health of his employees and worked them under heavy workload every day, resulting in 13 abnormalities in the physical examination. Second, he was subjected to workplace PUA and verbally abused employees, causing Zhang Pengcheng to become depressed. Third, he ignored his employees' apologies and was cold-blooded!"

After reading it, Xiao Dong saw that no one was talking, so he could only continue:
"Here are her demands: Pay all medical expenses and publicly apologize to Zhang Pengcheng, or I will post this email online, and then I won't be the only one who will attack you!"

Liang Shuang was so furious. From her perspective, she and Zhang Pengcheng were just work colleagues. Why did Zhang Pengfei blame her for everything when something happened? His girlfriend was simply being unreasonable.

Jiang Lanzhou hesitated for a while and said helplessly
"Everyone has read this email, please tell us how to solve it!"

Xiao Wang said, "The company has to pay compensation for the car accident on the way home from get off work. The request is not excessive, but what about Sister Shuang~?"

At this time, Gao Qi, who was transferred to the second floor, suddenly said in a vivid voice:
"Please note that this email contains many sensitive words, such as high workload, abnormal physical examination, and insulting subordinates. These accusations are very detrimental to the company!"

The words directly pointed the finger at Liang Shuang, who said in disbelief:
"We are in the live broadcast industry, so our working hours are irregular, but we give them enough rest time during the day!"

"If this is called high load, what about those who work night shifts? Those food delivery drivers, sanitation workers, designated drivers, last-minute bus drivers, film crews, and even electronics factories that work three shifts!"

“Are we working harder than these people?”

"Besides, Zhang Pengcheng had thirteen abnormalities in his physical examination, and I had twenty-one abnormalities. Who should I ask to compensate me?"

But Gao Qi said calmly:
"What about workplace PUA and verbal violence that caused him to become depressed?"

After listening to Gao Qi, Liang Shuang immediately retorted:
"I pointed out his mistakes at work, what's wrong with that? Isn't that right?"

"To speak directly is verbal violence, and he is too sensitive!"

At this point, Liang Shuang roared angrily:

"Besides, it was such a big incident, I just asked him to leave my team. I didn't fire him, which was already the most righteous thing I could do."

At this time, Gao Qi said calmly:

"Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend said you were guilty and gave her hush money!"

Liang Shuang was speechless upon hearing this, and angrily retorted:
"When I arrived at the company today, I heard that he had a car accident. I was kind enough to care about him and sent someone with money to comfort him. But this was misinterpreted as me being guilty!"

"You know, because of Zhang Pengcheng's mistake, the company lost two million, and it was all borne by us!"

"And the two million was made up by our entire team working overtime. It was our entire team that paid for his mistakes. Why didn't she say this? Has her conscience been eaten by a dog?"

"Anyway, it's impossible for me to apologize. At most, I can respond to his accusations one by one!"

Gao Qi, like a moralist, immediately spoke from the company's perspective:
"If you respond to her like this, she will definitely be angry. If she really posts these things on the Internet, what will we do? What will happen to our company?"

Liang Shuang said indignantly:
"She posted it too, so can't I clarify it? Let's put the matter out in the open and let everyone judge what is right and wrong!"

Gao Qi shook his head helplessly, then calmly analyzed and said:

"Yes, you can indeed clarify, but do you think people will believe you or him?" "I~!"

Seeing the speechless face, Jiang Lanzhou also discovered Liang Shuang's childishness and knew that she was angry now, so he asked Jiang Shuai:
"Is there any news from the hospital? How is Zhang Pengcheng doing now?"

"I just asked, the man is still in a coma, only his girlfriend is with him!" Jiang Shuai answered immediately, and then said with some doubt:

"But the strange thing is that his family is not in the hospital either!"

At this time, Xiao Dong said, "It seems that both of them haven't told their families about their relationship yet!"

Gao Qi immediately said earnestly:
"Then we should discuss it. What if Zhang Pengcheng never wakes up? How are we going to explain to his parents then?"

"Mr. Jiang, how are we going to explain this to his parents? How are we going to explain this to society when the time comes?"

Gao Qi was secretly adding fuel to the fire today, but no one noticed, including Jiang Lanzhou, who thought she was only thinking about the company.

However, Liang Shuang was upset by Gao Qi's provocation, and then said firmly:
"This is not my fault, and there's nothing to be afraid of. If he wants to make a scene, I'll accompany him!"

Jiang Lanzhou knew that this stalemate was not a solution, so he said to everyone:

"You guys go ahead and do some PR work. I'll talk to Sister Shuang!"

Then everyone left in a hurry, leaving only Jiang Lanzhou and Liang Shuang in the meeting room. Jiang Lanzhou poured Liang Shuang a glass of water, trying to ease his mood.

Liang Shuang was obviously still angry and said directly:
"You also think I should apologize, right?"

"Ah~!" Jiang Lanzhou sighed and said:
"I know you feel wronged, but for this matter, apologizing is the simplest and fastest way to solve it!"

"Why should I apologize?" Jiang Lanzhou's words made Liang Shuang even more angry, so Liang Shuang immediately retorted:

"If it was my fault, I would be willing to apologize, but I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I apologize? I can't bring myself to do that!"

Jiang Lanzhou took a deep breath, and then said earnestly:

"You work in the media, you should know that the truth of the facts is not important, right and wrong is even less important, what matters is what netizens believe!"

"Just like Liu Zi in Let the Bullets Fly, it doesn't matter how many bowls of jelly he eats. What matters is that someone wants Liu Zi to die. They just want to see him have fun, that's all!"

"Besides, the Internet is a lawless place. No one cares about the truth. They just want to have fun!"

"And you are now that innocent melon. If you don't know how to adapt and apologize, you will become the next Liuzi. Do you understand?"

"Also, the shareholders just sent me a text message asking us to settle this matter as soon as possible and not cause greater losses to the company!"

At this point, Jiang Lanzhou said earnestly:
"Once a public opinion war is triggered, not only will you suffer, but Lanzhou Company will also be in trouble, and all employees in the company will be blamed for you!"

"And you will lose everything you have now, including Liang Shuang's selection, Liang Shuang's birthday party, and the entire Lanzhou Company. Everything will be in vain!"

"And more!" Jiang Lanzhou hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:
According to the terms of the contract, the company will be compensated for any losses caused by the anchor's words and deeds.
"Think about it carefully!" Having said this, Jiang Lanzhou no longer dared to look at Liang Shuang who was in tears, and then prepared to get up and leave.

In fact, Liang Shuang did not fail to understand the truth, but he was unable to get over the insistence on right and wrong in his heart and was unwilling to lose himself.

As expected, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. While losing love, my career was not spared either.

"Wait~!" Liang Shuang finally spoke at this time, and then Jiang Lanzhou turned around and looked at Liang Shuang in surprise.

But at this moment, Liang Shuang seemed to have lost his energy and said numbly:
"Let's go and apologize!"

Jiang Lanzhou opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out. Everything could only turn into a sigh.

The two then went to the hospital and met Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend.

Seeing Liang Shuang and Jiang Lanzhou coming, Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend said:

"I didn't blackmail you. My conditions are still the same. You just need to pay Zhang Pengcheng's medical expenses and Liang Shuang apologize to Zhang Pengcheng, and we won't pursue it anymore!"

"Okay, sorry for causing you trouble!" Liang Shuang apologized directly to Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend.

"You don't have to apologize to me, you should apologize to Zhang Pengcheng!" Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend's anger subsided when she saw Liang Shuang apologize.

But when Liang Shuang apologized, she still had a blank expression on her face, and she felt angry, thinking that Liang Shuang was just perfunctory, so she scolded:
"Are you here to apologize? Is this the attitude you should have when apologizing?"

Liang Shuang stared at Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend and asked expressionlessly:
"Please tell me what attitude I should use to apologize. Should I apologize with a smile on my face, or with tears streaming down my face, or should I kneel on the ground and beg you?"

"Liang Shuang~!" Seeing Liang Shuang like this, he knew that Liang Shuang was not upset on the surface, and he was still the stubborn Liang Shuang, without any change, so he hurried to dissuade him.

But Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend exploded:

"What do you mean, are you still wronged?"

"It's Zhang Pengcheng lying on the hospital bed now, not you. You are still feeling wronged. If it weren't for you..." Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend went on a crazy rant and scolded Liang Shuang.

The patients and their families were watching outside, and some even recorded the entire process.

At this time, Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend continued to scold:

"Liang Shuang, get out of here! Do you think you're so great just because you're a host? I don't need your apology now. I must expose your evil deeds. You cold-blooded people, don't even think about it!"

However, Liang Shuang didn't care at all, and had an attitude of "broken jar", and Jiang Lanzhou couldn't stop him, and finally closed his eyes in pain.

"It's over, Lanzhou Company is finished!" Looking at Liang Shuang who still had no expression on his face, Jiang Lanzhou was furious and pointed at Liang Shuang and said angrily:

"Liang Shuang, what on earth do you want to do? What on earth are you insisting on? You still don't apologize at this time. Do you really want to have nothing?"

"So what if I have nothing!" A man's voice came into everyone's ears.

"Lin Hao!"

"Mr. Lin!"

Lin Hao glanced at everyone, then said calmly:
"People live by their face, trees live by their skin, Buddhas receive a stick of incense, and people fight for their breath. Things must be judged based on right and wrong. Why do you force Liang Shuang like this?"
