Wei Yumeng originally thought that the rumors would eventually disappear with time.
However, no one expected that because people paid too much attention to the previous events, this matter would inherit the previous heat and continue to ferment online.
But compared to the public opinion on Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan personally, it has now risen to the entire business community.
Some people even believe that those who control capital are always ungrateful, and they will spare no means to achieve their goals.
This also led Zhan Mohan to receive a lot of dissatisfaction from other companies. Because this public opinion rose to such a level, other companies also encountered problems to varying degrees.
"President Zhan, originally this was a private matter for your Zhan Group, and I shouldn't interfere. But now it has affected the entire market economy, and there are even people organizing anti-capital organizations that are protesting outside every day. How can we continue to work?" the person said dejectedly.
Although Zhan Mohan couldn't even remember who the other party was.
"Yes, President Zhan, even if you don't care about these things, if we small businesses continue like this, we will really have to close down."
The two complained to Zhan Mohan one after another. It seemed that no matter what, they had to get an answer from Zhan Mohan today.
Zhan Mohan originally told Wei Yumeng that he could handle this matter, so Wei Yumeng watched without speaking. However, she felt that the situation was more troublesome than she had imagined.
She couldn't stand by and watch things get worse and worse. The reason for the public opinion was precisely because so many people did not know the truth of the matter.
"Since I am an important figure in this matter, I believe that I may need to resolve it myself." Wei Yumeng stepped forward.
The two knew how much Zhan Mohan doted on Wei Yumeng, so they did not dare to jump to conclusions upon hearing Wei Yumeng's words.
What if Zhan Mohan held a grudge against their two families because of this matter in the future? This would be ten thousand times worse than the current situation.
Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng, whose eyes were very firm. He sighed, knowing that with Wei Yumeng's personality, she would not completely hand this matter over to him.
"What are you planning to do?"
"I want to hold a press conference and announce the whole thing to the outside world. After all, I don't want to see Zhan Group become the capital that does all sorts of evil in the mouths of those people."
This was the only solution Wei Yumeng could think of. What method was more important than directly explaining everything?
"Yes, yes, Madam, this method is good. Compared to blind guessing, the public wants to know the truth more."
Zhan Mohan glanced at the person speaking, who quickly shut up wisely.
"Okay, I will have Fang Xun prepare for this. You just need to think about how to explain things clearly then."
Zhan Mohan was helpless. If he could, he didn't want Wei Yumeng to face these things again, as they were not good memories for her.
But now, it seemed that perhaps everything was not as bad as imagined.
A few days later, Wei Yumeng stood on the press conference stage as she wished.
"Everyone, I think the purpose of your coming today is only one, and that is to figure out what has been happening recently." Wei Yumeng stood on the stage. Although her attire was casual today, she still exuded her unique temperament. "At today's press conference, I will answer all your questions."
Next, Wei Yumeng explained the entire sequence of events, but she modified some parts slightly to protect the reputation of the Du family.
Otherwise, what Du Qiu did would have been enough to be taken to the police station for tea.
"That's how it is. The reason Zhan Group acquired the Du family was also because of this matter, which forced us to make a choice to preserve the Du family's industry."
"But Miss Wei, some of the information previously leaked by someone is completely different from what you are saying."
A reporter directly questioned, "If you want to deliberately divert our attention with this press conference, then you are underestimating us too much."
Wei Yumeng knew that her words might not be easily believed.
"I understand your doubts, but everything I said is the truth. In fact, you can think about it. Zhan Group has grown to a considerable scale by now, and although the Du family is one of the shareholders of Zhan Group, his personal assets are now less than one ten-thousandth of Zhan Group's. We have no reason to go to such great lengths just to acquire a company that is much smaller than ours."
"That's what you say, but it's all you saying it from beginning to end. Isn't there any substantial evidence?"
Wei Yumeng nodded, "Yes, your words are very reasonable. So, besides me, I have also invited Du Qiu to today's press conference. He is the current head of the Du family, and he signed our acquisition agreement. I believe his words will be enough for you to trust."
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked to the side. Du Qiu walked over step by step.
However, his expression was a bit strange, but Wei Yumeng didn't pay attention and just handed him the microphone.
"Next, Mr. Du Qiu will tell you about his experiences."
Wei Yumeng also took the opportunity to go backstage to rest for a while, as she had been hosting the entire press conference from start to finish.
She went to the lounge and saw an unopened bottle of water on the table. She remembered that the press conference did provide such refreshments.
However, as soon as Wei Yumeng took a sip, she felt her stomach churn uncomfortably, and then pain swept through her consciousness and body.
Her vision began to blur. Before she closed her eyes, she saw Zhan Mohan running towards her.
On stage, Du Qiu held the microphone but remained silent for a long time, as if waiting for something, and his expression was not good.
Four parts fear, six parts panic.
His pale face looked as if he had done something he shouldn't have.
"Mr. Du, what's wrong? Why aren't you speaking?"
Soon, others reacted, "Mr. Du, are the people from Zhan Group asking you to testify falsely?"
"If that's the case, we still hope you can tell us the truth of the matter, so that we can give you justice."
Almost everyone regarded Du Qiu as a victim of capital, encouraging him to tell the so-called truth.
"Actually..." Du Qiu said, taking a deep breath. He had never been so nervous before.
"President Zhan, the situation on stage seems to be getting out of control!" Fang Xun said loudly as he ran.
But when he arrived at Zhan Mohan's lounge, there was no one there.
It wasn't until he reached Wei Yumeng's lounge that he saw several staff members gathered around.
"What happened?"
"It's Mrs. Zhan, Mrs. Zhan seems to have been poisoned!"
