Smiling, Zhuang Nainai stretched out her hand toward him. “Quick, hand over my pay obediently~”
Si Zhengting really could not stand her behavior anymore. Just as he was about to say something, the television’s content garnered their attention suddenly.
They turned around at the same time, only to see a familiar face on the news broadcast.
Mi Nuo’s eyes were red and swollen from crying. She had been interviewed by the reporter. In front of hundreds of millions of the nation’s citizens, she complained so brazenly, “… Yes, the interests of the workers must be protected. I was poor. I am from a low-class family and a rural village. But through my own capabilities, I supported myself and became a self-made person. When I was young, my parents passed away, so I grew up in a welfare center, but I have never thought of being a parasite. Throughout all these years, I have been donating half of my salary to the orphanage. This is my way of giving back to society and how I express my gratitude toward the country for cultivating me. However, these cannot become the reasons for me to remain silent about the bullying I’ve experienced. I hope that the Imperial Group would give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, I will make use of the law to protect my own legal interests.”
She sounded very determined about everything she had said as she took on a very positive and sympathy-evoking stand. As she gazed intently from the big screen, she seemed to be sending this message to the whole world through it: I will not let this go easily!
The topic of discussion of the news was diverted quickly. However, the four of them in the Si residence were completely stunned.
Even Zhuang Nainai knitted her brows.
Initially, she had thought that things would blow up and it would cause a commotion online. However, she had never expected the Imperial Group to actually be caught up in the heart of the commotion. It also just so happened that the country was implementing severe measures to protect workers’ interests.
Mi Nuo’s move was comparable to exposing the design drafts plagiarism incident to the entire world.
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes widened. Just as she was deep in her thoughts, her phone suddenly rang.
Subconsciously, Zhuang Nainai grabbed her phone. Upon seeing that the call was from an unknown number, she did not give herself time to think of her next move and simply picked up the call. “Hello?”
“Hello, are you Madam Zhuang Nainai? I am a reporter from Shu Yuan Magazine. I have some questions for you, could you answer them for me?”
Zhuang Nainai was taken aback. “I don’t know you…”
“Madam Zhuang Nainai, may I know what your thoughts are on what Ms. Mi Nuo has said on television? In the past, you plagiarized Ms. Mi Nuo’s work so blatantly. May I know if you have ever felt guilty or regretful? May I know…”
Sharp questions were thrown at Zhuang Nainai one after another, causing her to be dazed. Before she could answer anything, the phone was snatched away by a big hand.
Zhuang Nainai looked up and saw Si Zhengting ending the call decisively. He turned on the phone’s airplane mode before passing it back to Zhuang Nainai.
After her phone’s signal had been cut off, Si Zhengting’s phone started to ring.
Without hesitation, he switched off his phone.
He had just switched off his phone when the Si residence’s telephone rang again.
Very calmly, Si Zhengting stood up and unbuttoned the first button of his shirt. Then, he walked over and cut off the landline immediately.
Thereafter, Si Zhengting picked up his iPad and sent an email to Ji Chen.
Zhuang Nainai had already logged in to Weibo speedily. She discovered that Mi Nuo’s Weibo account had gained hundreds of thousands of followers in mere minutes!
Moreover, the post that was rebuking the Imperial Group on Mi Nuo’s Weibo had become the top trending post!
