Chapter 35: Take the Blame and Resign

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Because the Nian Cheng Corporation had exposed their collaboration with Qing Yu, it resulted in a war of words on the Internet. Originally, the matter regarding them tampering behind the scenes had already been criticized once, and that matter was dug out to be criticized again this time.

“This Nian Cheng Corporation doesn’t even know how to perform the basics of ensuring confidentiality?”

“Haha, ever since Madam Jiang passed away, the company has been like this. How embarrassing.”

“Exactly. Qing Yu is completely implicated, but did you notice a problem?”

“The person who commented above, did you discover the same thing as me? Design drafts.”

Everyone’s attention was focused on the design blueprint by the Nian Cheng Corporation. They had originally thought that exposing the unconfirmed collaboration would already incite public anger.

Once this design blueprint appeared, the matter reached another climax.

In addition, Master He, He Hongyi, directly pointed out that this was a draft that Jiang Wanning had shown him before. With the addition of screenshots of relevant chats, the public sentiment was mostly leaning towards one side.

Xie Nian did not expect Master He’s words of support.

“Xie Cheng, it’s time. Post all of Mother’s drafts online.”

“Okay.”

After all these actions, it further cemented the idea that the design director of Nian Cheng Corporation had plagiarized.

“Father, what should we do now? Why did Xie Nian upload the drafts at this time? This b*tch, is she trying to push us to a dead end?”

Xie Zhizhi’s face was filled with terror. If the person at the hotel was a warning, then this was Xie Nian really making a move.

In just one day today, she had experienced the feeling of being famous. However, she did not want to be famous in such a way. Her screen was filled with malice from those people, and the private messages she received were even worse.

“Okay, okay. I understand.”

Xie Zhanan sat on the ground dejectedly. It’s over, it’s all over. There’s nothing left. Nothing left.

“Daddy, what happened? Who called just now?”

“In order to protect the reputation of Nian Cheng Corporation, we have to take the blame and resign. From now on, we have nothing to do with Nian Cheng Corporation.”

Xie Zhizhi said in a panic, “How could we not? Daddy, Nian Cheng is ours. What reason do those people have to make us leave Nian Cheng?”

Xie Zhizhi’s shouting made Xie Zhanan feel disgusted. He cursed, “If it weren’t for you, would Xie Nian be so ruthless? You don’t even have any capabilities, yet you are here blaming others.”

“You’re scolding me. You’re scolding me because of that woman, Xie Nian. Didn’t all of you agree with my plan back then? Why are you pushing the blame onto me now? What right do you have to do this?”

Xia Chu looked at the two of them who were about to argue again and suddenly thought of something. “Xie Zhanan, you forgot that you still have shares of Nian Cheng Corporation. Don’t you remember?”

The three of them exchanged looks and saw a hint of hope in one another’s eyes. As long as they still had shares of Nian Cheng Corporation, they were still a part of it. They could never chase them away.

“Sister Nian, Nian Cheng Corporation has pushed Xie Zhanan and Xie Zhizhi out to take the blame. All the information tainting Nian Cheng Corporation’s reputation on the Internet is disappearing bit by bit.”

Xie Nian sneered. Those old things still wanted to delete everything that had happened in the past. She didn’t know if they were naive or stupid. No matter how hard they try to delete the things on the Internet, there are still going to be traces left. How were they going to delete them?

“Pay attention to how things go. I think someone will throw out Nian Cheng Corporation’s shares.”

“Are we buying them?”

“It’s okay, just find out who’s buying them.”

“But, will Young Master…”

Xie Nian rubbed between her eyebrows and said, “Cheng Cheng will handle it.”

Qiao Qiao could tell that Xie Nian was exhausted. She left to make space for Xie Nian to rest.

“Niannian, do you know what these two words that I wrote are?”

“Of course I know. This is the Chinese character ‘Nian’. This is the Chinese character ‘Cheng’.”

Jiang Wanning smiled gently, a dimple appearing at the corner of her mouth. “Yes, it’s the Chinese character ‘Nian’ and the Chinese character ‘Cheng’.”

“But Mom, why are the Chinese characters here, ‘Nian’ and ‘Cheng’, different from the ones in my younger brother and my name? I remember that mine has a ‘Xin’ character below, and my younger brother’s one has a ‘Yan’ character at the side.”

“Oh, those are your nicknames.”

Xie Nian jolted awake from her dream abruptly.. Why did she suddenly dream of her mother?
