Shen Qiang estimated that the customer representative was almost here, and rushed to the exhibition hall after finishing the work at hand. But the scene he saw was chaotic, and he walked over with a frown.
"The quality of Tengfei's employees is too poor. How could they treat an old man like this?"
"No, even if the old lady is a rag picker, she still relies on hard work to make a living."
"If you ask me, this old man is worthy of respect. He is still supporting himself at such an old age, but these people like Tengfei look down upon others."
"That's right, we don't want products from such unscrupulous merchants..."
"Let's go, I can't bear to stand any longer."
A customer representative took the lead and walked out. Others glanced at Hu, and some followed him. There were few at first, but more and more in the end. There were only a few staff members left in the huge exhibition hall.
"What's going on?" Shen Qiang asked the person in charge of the exhibition hall.
The person in charge twitched his lips and glanced at the security guard angrily, "Ask them, I'm really convinced. I can't even let the company cause trouble for a while."
Since the assistant in the sales department misappropriated public funds, some merchants and consumers have criticized the company a lot. They originally wanted to use this contract to help consumers regain their confidence in the company, but now it was all ruined by these security guards.
"What do you mean? If you didn't think that the old woman was dirty and told us to get rid of her, then everything would be blamed on me." The security guard was not convinced and quarreled with the person in charge of the exhibition on the spot.
"What's the fuss about? Can someone stand up and speak clearly?" Shen Qiang slapped the table and everyone fell silent.
"The old lady who often comes here to pick up rags wanted to come in to use the toilet, but the customer was already here. We thought she wanted to pick up rags and didn't let her in. Who knew she was really... "
In fact, the two security guards at the door also regretted it. They really didn't prevent her from entering on purpose.
"I'm really dissatisfied and you can't do it. Where is she?" Shen Qiang's head was pounding. He had just left the university for a while, but such a big mistake happened. He hurriedly chased her out, but there was no sign of the old lady anywhere.
He stood at the door for a while, thinking that he should win over the customer first, and when the old lady came over again, he would apologize to her and try to get her forgiveness.
Sighing, he turned around and prepared to go in. Several reporters rushed out from behind and surrounded Shen Qiang. "Third Young Master, who ordered the beating of the old lady?"
"Third Young Master, has your company always treated the elderly so roughly?"
"Third Young Master, everyone on the Internet is calling you unscrupulous profiteers. Do you have anything to explain?"
Where did these reporters come from? Shen Qiang was stunned on the spot, and his face was extremely ugly.
"Dear journalists, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. We will find the old lady and apologize to her." Shen Qiang explained dryly, somewhat incoherently.
"Third Young Master, such a big thing happened. How did the person in charge of your company, Mr. Shen Yan, handle it?" The reporters asked questions one after another, and Shen Qiang was soon sweating from the questions.
Xia Yu, who was resting at home, got some food and browsed the web while eating. A video shocked her so much that she dropped the bowl in her hand.
An old woman scavenging broke into tears in front of reporters, "I know I am a dirty woman. I usually don't dare to pass by the door of a high-end company like Ascendas."
The reporter asked, "Why don't you dare to pass by their door? What will happen if you do?"
The old lady wiped her tears and said, "The worst case is to get out of here, the worst case is to smash my trolley."
The reporter asked, "Then what made you rush in regardless of what happened today?"
"I walked near Tengfei, and my stomach suddenly hurt. I wanted to go to the nearby public toilet to solve it, but you also know that I can't walk fast because I am old, so I had no choice but to beg them to help me make it easier, but they said that I I won’t let you get dirty..." Pointing to the dirty pants, the old lady burst into tears.
Xia Yu was sure that the old lady in the video was the old lady Shen Qiang knew. He usually took good care of her. It must have been the snobbish people in the company who did it when he was away.
What to do now? She cried like this in front of reporters. The company's image was over. Xia Yu picked up her bag and rushed to the company.
On the way, she called Liu Sijie, "Assistant Liu, find grandma quickly, you must be quick!"
"Already looking for it." Liu Sijie has also seen the video, and Shen Yan has also personally met with reporters to deal with it.
When Xia Yu rushed to the door of the company, Shen Yan was apologizing to the grandmother through the media and to the consumers, "I'm sorry. As the person in charge of what happened today, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Here I sincerely apologize to the grandmother. Apologize… "
Xia Yu bypassed the reporters, quietly entered the company, came to Shen Qiang's side, and pulled his sleeve.
When he turned around and saw Xia Yu, Shen Qiang's tears suddenly fell down, "Sister, it's all my fault. I messed up the matter and implicated my second brother."
"No one wants to do something like an accident. The key now is to find a way to make up for it." Xia Yu took out a tissue and wiped away Shen Qiang's tears. "Now is not the time to cry. Grandma has a good relationship with you. Can you find her?" Forgive us, we still need you to do her job.”
"Even if I have to kowtow to her, I will definitely ask her for forgiveness." Shen Qiang said with red eyes.
"You and I go out quietly from behind, don't let the reporters see." Xia Yu pulled Shen Qiang and walked around to the back alley. Fortunately, there was no one around, so the two of them left with peace of mind.
"Is this a good job? Mr. Yan went on to do it, but the company also praised it."
As they were about to move forward, a familiar voice came over. Xia Yu paused, pushed Shen Qiang, and motioned for him to hide with her and listen to what else they said.
"The company belongs to the Shen family, not yours. Why do you feel bad about it?"
"No, I just feel like I have feelings after working here for so many years."
"Don't worry, the company can't collapse. As long as Mr. Yan is removed, the company will still be a company."
"But with such an approach, how many people can still go to work safely? Let's just say today. Look, everyone is watching the excitement."
"What else can you do if you don't want to watch the fun?"
How did they... Shen Qiang gritted his teeth and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Xia Yu, "It is more important at this time to stay calm. Let's go around them and don't let them find out."
After leaving the alley, Shen Qiang finally couldn't bear it any longer, "Sister, they have said such things, how can we still endure it?"
Xia Yu took a breath and said, "People are panicking now, and your eldest brother's people are still fanning you behind your back. If you don't deal with them at the right time, it might be another accident."
"Are we just going to let them go?" Shen Qiang punched the wall angrily. He was so damn useless.
"Things are solved one by one. There is no need to rush." Xia Yu was much calmer than Shen Qiang. She sent messages to several of her friends in the media, begging them to provide clues about the old lady.
"Can they know?" Shen Qiang asked.
"Didn't you see the reporter interviewing her?"
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Shen Qiang also hurriedly called his familiar friends in the media.
Soon they received feedback that the old lady was sent to the interview location by a group of bodyguard-looking people. After the interview, they sent her away in a car. No one knew where she went.
As expected, the old lady was taken advantage of. According to the reporters, the other party must be keeping a close eye on her, and I'm afraid it won't be that easy to find her.
It would be bad if this happened. This was still the beginning, and there was already such a huge response. In a few days, Shen Yan would also fall if he couldn't take off.
"Sister, what should I do?" Shen Qiang was so anxious that his second brother couldn't wait.
"It's a little harder to find, but we still have to find it." Xia Yu breathed out and said, "The old lady often pushes the cart around here. She is old and can't walk too far. She must be nearby. We can take her photos and ask nearby residents, maybe we can find something."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Shen Qiang said and was about to rush forward.
Xia Yu grabbed him, what's the rush? Don't scare people.
Yes, yes, Shen Qiang patted his head and took a few deep breaths to calm down.
"Hello, aunt, do you know this old lady?" Xia Yu saw a small supermarket in front of her and walked over. Since it was in a back alley, business was not good.
After Xia Yu went in, she first bought two bottles of water. After chatting with the aunt for a while, the topic turned to the old grandma. She often collects rags. There are many discarded cartons for sale in the supermarket. The aunt who runs the supermarket must have seen her.
Sure enough, Xia Yu guessed it right. The aunt recognized her after looking at the photos on Xia Yu's mobile phone, "She collects rags. At first I saw that she was older and it was not easy to miss her, so she took the cardboard boxes from my supermarket. Half sold and half given to her. She was also very diligent and took the initiative to help me clean. I felt sorry for her, so I left all the cartons for her. She got used to it after going back and forth, and she came often. But since she came here, I I noticed that the money at the cashier was always low, and then I became suspicious of her. One time she came over again, and I pretended to leave, but in fact I was hiding aside to observe her, and I actually found out that she was stealing money. "
"Steal money?" Shen Qiang couldn't help but say, "The old lady is quite self-reliant, how could she do such a thing?"
When he saw that she was collecting scraps without giving him any money, how could she steal it? Shen Qiang was the first to not believe it.
Xia Yu didn't have much contact with the old lady, so it was naturally not convenient for her to defend her. Since the aunt knew her, Xia Yu still wanted to get some useful information from the aunt.
She signaled Shen Qiang to stop talking and continued to ask the aunt, "What happened next?"
"When I caught her, she naturally cried and begged for mercy, saying that she was pitiful and had no one to care about her. Her daughter and son-in-law despised her. She was forced to do this because she had no other choice. She was already so old. If I can't send her to the police station, I will let her go." The aunt shook her head.
"Auntie, do you know where she lives? You can know where her daughter lives."
"I don't know about this. Why, she also stole things from you?" The aunt looked at Xia Yu sympathetically, "I have chatted with her before. From her tone, she doesn't live with her daughter and son-in-law. I guess she doesn't live with her daughter and son-in-law. Even if you find her daughter, I don’t think her daughter will admit it.”
