Mu Qiqi looked at Su Zipei as she was entering the meeting room. After that, her uncles from the Mu family also reached the meeting room.
Mu Qiqi watched her youngest uncle subconsciously. It was because Sheng Xiao asked her to stay at the scene as she would be quite useful there.
Mr. Mu Xiao then gave her a knowing smile.
After that, Papa Mu's secretary emerged from the meeting room and asked Mu Qiqi, "Young lady, would you like to wait at the lounge?"
"No need. I'll wait here. I won't go anywhere else." Mu Qiqi was afraid that Papa Mu would manipulate his secretary and do something to her.
The secretary was respectfully denied but she did not force Mu Qiqi. She allowed Mu Qiqi to stand outside the meeting room.
It was nine o'clock sharp in the morning. All the stakeholders of Mu Group had already reached the meeting room. There were twenty four of them.
"The reason we are holding this board meeting today is because of the rumors regarding our current CEO. The rumors have created a bigger mess than before. Murder one's own wife! That rumor has done a great deal of damage to Mu Group. The shares went downhill and our trusts plummeted. The other companies have refused to work with us and even the suppliers have chosen other companies to work with. Hence, I wish that CEO Mu could give us a reasonable explanation."
"You promised us before that you won't endanger Mu Group again. But, it has been only a few days ago when you made us that promise. Was it a lie?" One of the stakeholders bombarded Papa Mu with the question the minute the board meeting began.
However, Papa Mu smiled calmly. He turned to look at Su Zipei.
"I won't break my promise. The rumor which was spread online was just somebody's trick against us. Aren't you aware that I was in Japan when my wife passed away in that fire accident? How did I murder my wife?"
"Madam Su, what do you think? Why don't we deal with the conflicts between us privately? Why do you have to make it known to everybody?"
Papa Mu put the blame on Su Zipei intentionally.
He was implying that she was the one who spread the rumor online.
"Why would Su Zipei do such a thing?" The stockholders were doubtful.
"It's because I didn't get her approval before cremating my wife's body. She wants to take revenge on me so that's why she framed me...
" Papa Mu twisted the fact naturally.
Su Zipei laughed when she was being blamed. She seemed calmer than him. "I don't understand what you are saying!"
"Zipei, how come you don't understand what I am saying? Surely, you do understand it."
"If Mr. Mu wants to force the blame on me, I'll accept it." Su Zipei shrugged her shoulders. "But, could you deny the fact that you're incapable of resolving the issue? When the incident happened, did you meet with the PR team? Did you try your best to resolve the issue? We didn't come here to put the blame on anybody. If you're unable to come up with a plan to resolve the issue at hand, who will guarantee our interests as the stakeholders if the situation continues to worsen?"
Sheng Xiao taught Su Zipei how to deal with it beforehand.
She should not admit to anything no matter how much Papa Mu blamed her. Moreover, she needed to put the focus on resolving the issue instead of the cause of the issue.
"It would be different if you're the one who planned the event. Surely, I want to clear my doubts."
