When I left the bathroom, I realized that my worries were unnecessary. The corridor was empty, and Chu Jin and Xuan Xuan were nowhere to be seen.
Liang Sheng dialed Chu Jin's number and got a message that it could not be connected. The same was true for the person who called Xuanxuan. Liang Sheng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, looked at me and said, "I'm not worried about you going back alone. In this way, you follow I, in my capacity as my assistant, but you must promise me not to speak no matter what you hear or what happens tonight."
When I heard this, I felt secretly happy. If I had known this, I would have been able to follow him. I pushed Xuanxuan away outside the door.
Seeing me nodding wildly, Liang Sheng ruffled my hair helplessly and kissed my forehead gently. Then he quickly suppressed his smile, frowned slightly, and walked quickly to the hall.
There was a square table seven or eight meters high in the middle of the huge conference room. There were probably more than a hundred people present. When Liang Sheng and I came in, they all looked at us with strange eyes.
Liang Sheng's gait was calm, completely different from the look he had in the bathroom just now. He walked straight to the empty seat next to the chairman's seat in the innermost place, pulled out his chair, and said politely: "I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting. The meeting will continue. .”
I glanced at the entire audience. There were men, women, middle-aged and elderly people as well as young talents. Everyone was wearing a suit and leather shoes and sitting upright. I heard from Chu Jin that those present were leaders of companies of all sizes. There were no assistants behind them, and I was the only one standing awkwardly behind Liang Sheng, seemingly not dressed appropriately.
Seeing this scene, I regretted following him, even if I was waiting in the bathroom. It wasn't that I was embarrassed, I just gave others an excuse to gossip about Liang Sheng.
A middle-aged man wearing a purple tie stood up diagonally across from Liang Sheng, "Mr. Liang, let's not talk about anything else. Just the fact that you left the meeting without any reason and made us wait for so long is enough to prove that you are not suitable for Yuan Sheng." Group leader position.”
When it came to impeachment, I glared at the other party and wanted to explain, but thinking of Liang Sheng's instructions to me, I had to hold back and remain silent.
Liang Sheng glanced at the whole table and said without changing his expression: "Mr. Xiao, have you never left your seat temporarily due to special events in the company's meetings, large or small?"
The man whom Liang Sheng called Mr. Xiao put on an aggressive face and retorted: "So what if it happened before? Those were all internal meetings of his company. How can they be compared with today's occasion?"
Liang Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh? But in my eyes, meetings, no matter how big or small, are equally important."
Mr. Xiao was at a loss for words, so he had to adjust his tone and said, "It's useless to do this. Chairman Liang is in the United States now. We shareholders can completely vote on our own."
Another middle-aged man wearing glasses and slightly bald stood up and seconded: "I think there is no need to engage in a verbal dispute and go directly to the voting stage."
I opened my eyes wide. This kind of occasion can only be seen on TV. Even the scenes in movies are not as grand as they are now. Even if I don't understand what they are saying specifically, I can still feel the heavy atmosphere at the table. , the situation seems to be harmful to Liang Sheng.
As for Chu Jin, I looked around and there was an empty chair directly opposite Liang Sheng. It probably belonged to Chu Jin. Why didn't he come back after sending Xuanxuan out for so long? If he's not here, who can help Liang Sheng say a few words
For a moment, everyone present raised their hands one after another, and they all agreed: "I agree!"
Intermittent discussions broke out one after another, and everyone whispered to each other. Liang Sheng stood there, isolated and helpless. I looked at his side, and the bright light hit his side face. His skin, which was slightly fairer than the people in the same row, seemed to be able to refract the light. His whole body seemed to be shrouded in a In a thin and bright halo.
The calmness and tranquility on his side face were incompatible with the atmosphere of the scene, as if it was not him whom everyone was condemning, nor was he the one who wanted to be expelled. He pursed his lips as if nothing had happened, and there was an elusive indifference and alienation in the corners of his eyes.
Others don't know and think he has nothing to say, but I can feel that he has not given up, he is just waiting, waiting for an opportunity that can make him survive.
At this moment, the door of the conference hall was pushed open violently, and Ling Xiao, Chu Jin, and a confused Xuanxuan rushed in.
Only then did I notice that Ling Yu among the crowd was leaning on the chair with his arms folded, his face suddenly stiffened as if he was watching a good show.
Ling Xiao stepped forward and threw a document on the conference table, "I can prove that the leakage of Yuansheng stock information was caused by someone who acted maliciously."
Someone took the document and looked through it page by page. The people nearby couldn't wait to rush over to browse, and then passed them one by one. Until the document passed through the hands of most people, the previous Mr. Xiao stood up again: "How do we know this?" This document is not a forgery?”
Chu Jin took a step forward and explained: "This is the result of statistics from the website's backend. If you doubt its authenticity, you can do the statistics yourself. There are a few strings of numbers that have obviously been changed by someone. It just happened that the company just a few days ago The system was invaded by hackers, causing a large amount of data to be lost. Although I retrieved it immediately, I could not immediately detect changes in individual data."
Another leader stood up and mocked: "What you said is easy. The statistics of the entire backstage range from three days to half a month. How can we have so much time to practice Tai Chi with you? Ling Yu, tell me, what is in this document?" Whether the data has really been manipulated."
Everyone focused their attention on Ling Yu. Ling Yu was obviously surprised by Ling Xiao's arrival. He showed a fierce look in his eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "So what if it was really changed? Yuan Sheng's stock price plummeted, causing us losses." Isn’t it a failure of management to spend so much money?”
"Ling Yu!" Liang Sheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. He narrowed his eyes dangerously, but his calm tone was very loud, "I think you didn't see the last page of the file. The IP address of the hacker who invaded Yuan Sheng's system is your United States. The address of the villa.”
"What?" Ling Yu's face changed drastically. He quickly grabbed the file and looked at it. Then he gritted his teeth tightly, tore the file into pieces and threw it on the table.
There was a commotion at the table, and more and more people began to believe Liang Sheng's words.
Later, after listening to Chu Jin's explanation, I learned that no one knew about Ling Yu's house in the United States. Ling Xiao also accidentally learned that without Ling Xiao's help, it would have been difficult for Liang Sheng and the others to find the source of the vicious attack.
Most of the people present only care about their own money, and not many people really care about who the leader Yuan Sheng is. Once the situation tilts to Liang Sheng's side, more and more people express their support for Liang Sheng's side and openly Condemn Ling Yu.
Ling Yu was betrayed by his own brother, feeling mixed with grief and anger. He stood up and rushed to Ling Xiao, punching Ling Xiao hard on the bridge of the nose, and bright red blood suddenly flowed down.
Xuanxuan and I were both startled. Due to Liang Sheng's instructions, I didn't dare to move. Xuanxuan took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao refused, and he wiped it with his hand and stared. Ling Yu glanced at him, turned around and walked out.
