Chapter 358 You are the first person to make me pay such a high price.
Sheng Tingchen looked straight ahead and said calmly, "I never thought you would be grateful to me." As he spoke, he reached out to hold the woman's hand.
Rong Shu subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but Sheng Tingchen gripped it tightly, his dark eyes fixed on her intently, and said, "I told you, Jiang Huaixu has been kind to you, and I can repay him on your behalf."
Rong Shu frowned, then sneered, "Are you trying to embarrass someone, or are you doing it on purpose?"
Sheng Tingchen withdrew his hand and said, "As long as Jiang Huaixu is open and honest enough, there's no point in talking about embarrassment. If he feels embarrassed, it only means that the benefits aren't enough."
Rong Shu clenched her fingers, her breathing becoming heavy. "Sheng Tingchen, who exactly are you trying to humiliate?"
Sheng Tingchen's tone became unusually somber: "Rong Shu, I have no reason to give up the TC cooperation agreement and the investment in HiSilicon to humiliate anyone. You are the first person who has made me pay such a high price."
Rong Shu stared at the serious-looking man in front of her, unable to tell whether he was telling the truth or lying.
But one thing she was clear about was that Sheng Tingchen would never make any effort that was meaningless to her.
"So I should feel honored?"
Sheng Tingchen said frankly, "How you feel is your own decision, and I can't force you to think that way."
Rong Shu stared at him, her fingers involuntarily tightening.
A moment of silence fell over the room.
When their eyes met, the man seemed to be able to see through all the emotions in the woman's heart at a glance, while the man's eyes were like a bottomless black pool, impossible to see through.
The entire carriage was so quiet that it was as if the only sound was each other's breathing.
Rong Shu didn't say anything more and turned to look out the window.
I don't know how much time has passed.
The vehicle traveled smoothly for a distance.
Just as the vehicle passed a shopping mall building, a news report was playing on the large LCD screen outside, about Yunshan and Rongen's venture capital investment in HiSilicon's R&D project.
At this time.
Sheng Tingchen's phone vibrated.
He answered the phone.
Although Rong Shu couldn't quite hear what the other party said, she could tell from Sheng Tingchen's reply that there were definitely objections within Yunshan regarding the transfer of its investment ratio in HiSilicon.
After all, this concerns the interests of the shareholders behind him, but since he did this, the shareholders of Yunshan didn't dare to question Sheng Tingchen.
She recalled that five years ago, a shareholder of Spruce publicly questioned Sheng Tingchen at a meeting. Sheng Tingchen gave an explanation in front of the public to answer the shareholder's question, but the result was that the shares represented by the shareholder were forcibly liquidated, and the company's performance declined year after year. In the end, it was directly acquired by Spruce.
From then on, everyone knew that Sheng Tingchen was always tough and uncompromising in his actions. His extraordinary abilities and intelligence, along with his domineering and forceful nature, could intimidate everyone in the company. He also acted in the same way in public. Therefore, there were quite a few people who wanted to see him fall. So, if he made even the slightest mistake, it was easily magnified and used by outsiders to make a big deal out of it.
So now that things have escalated to this point, he has to come forward and give an explanation.
After he hung up the phone.
Madam Sheng called again.
"Grandma, I'll talk about it when I get back to the old house tonight."
"..."
Sheng Tingchen first took Rong Shu back to the Rong family home.
Rong Shu returned home, tidied up, and told Rong Qingwen and Pei Lanhua about it.
Got in the car.
Rong Shu opened her personal phone, which only contained contact information for friends and family. There were missed calls and messages from Jiang Huaixu, as well as a call from Sheng Tingze, who had recently gone abroad on a business trip.
She returned the call.
The call was answered instantly.
Sheng Tingze's voice came through, saying, "Xiao Shu."
Pei Yu had already spoken to her on the phone and knew about her current situation.
Rong Shu asked in her usual tone, "How's the work abroad going?"
Sheng Tingze hummed in agreement. "It's going very smoothly. I'll be returning to China in a few days, and I'll treat you to a meal then."
Rong Shu chuckled and said, "I won't stand on ceremony with you."
"It's best if you don't stand on ceremony with me."
"..."
The two chatted idly.
Sheng Tingze didn't ask her about the online comments. Although she spoke in a normal tone, he knew that Xiao Shu must be feeling bad inside.
Someone will definitely handle this for her now, and there's nothing he can do.
"Tingze, let's leave it at that for now. We'll get together again when you get back."
"Okay, sure."
I hung up the phone.
Rong Shu called Jiang Huaixu again; he was already at the company.
"Xiao Shu, come to the company first."
"it is good."
Half an hour later.
Rong Shu parked her car directly in the underground parking lot.
Reporters were barred from entering the company premises.
Rong Shu took the elevator upstairs.
along the way.
The employees greeted her as usual, but she could clearly feel the strange looks from those around her.
She went back to her office first, and then Jiang Huaixu's assistant called, asking her to come to Jiang Huaixu's office in ten minutes.
"it is good."
Ten minutes later.
When Rong Shu arrived at Jiang Huaixu's office, Qi Yanchao was also there.
"President Jiang, President Qi."
Qi Yanchao greeted her, "Xiao Shu, come and sit down first."
Rong Shu nodded slightly and walked over to sit on the sofa.
Jianghuai Xu did not face pressure from major shareholders, as they were happy to secure a larger share of investment in the HiSilicon project.
However, Sheng Tingchen is a profit-driven person and not someone who would give up such a great benefit for a woman. Therefore, some people raised objections and suggested that Jiang Huaixu consider marginalizing Rong Shu or, better yet, dismissing her.
After all, her relationship with Sheng Tingchen was ambiguous, and to prevent her from betraying Rong En's interests in the future, it was necessary to avoid future troubles.
Jiang Huaixu, of course, directly rejected this.
Upon hearing this...
Rong Shu keenly sensed this and frowned, saying, "So one of the purposes of the person who leaked this information is to make me leave Rong En."
Qi Yanchao said, "That's certainly possible. If Xiaoshu, you leave Rong En, who will actually benefit?"
There's no way anyone within the company would target Rong Shu. The company is currently conducting an internal investigation, and no one would dare to have any ulterior motives at this time. So it must be someone from outside.
Rong Shu frowned in thought, "I have a rough idea of who it could be?"
Qi Yanchao asked, "Who is it?"
Rong Shu did not answer Qi Yanchao's question, only guessing without evidence. She looked at Jiang Huaixu and asked, "Regarding the investment in the HiSilicon project, I support President Jiang's decision no matter what."
Jiang Huaixu nodded slightly and said, "This matter can only be suppressed for now. Xiaoshu, you should rest at home for the next few days. Handle any work online."
Current situation.
She is indeed not suitable to stay in the company.
Rong Shu returned to her office, dialed a number, and quickly received a reply. She then made the call directly.
The call was answered quickly, and Lu Xue's voice came through, "Hello, who is this?"
"it's me."
Lu Xue seemed unsurprised, and asked calmly, "Senior, what do you need me for?"
