Tang Mei spent the whole night arguing online, and when she went to work the next day, she had big dark circles.
When Mei Shu saw her at work, she was startled, “Did you not rest well yesterday, or are you feeling unwell?”
Tang Mei quickly shook her head to dispel drowsiness, “I’m fine, President Mei, do you have any instructions for me?”
“I have a meeting later, you can take a nap on the sofa in my office for a while.” Mei Shu arranged the meeting materials and headed out.
Tang Mei subconsciously followed, but Mei Shu stopped her, “You don’t have to push yourself. Just take a nap here, and you’ll feel better to continue working.”
Feeling guilty, Tang Mei nodded, “Sorry, President Mei, but let me help you over there.”
“No need.” Mei Shu smiled indifferently, enduring the pain in her legs, determined not to show any weakness.
During the entire meeting, the main topic was the mishap during the competition last night. Mei Shu knew what was going on and sat at the head of the table, watching them argue and come up with a solution to minimize the negative effects on public opinion.
The head of the PR department said, “President Mei, there’s something I want to confirm with you first. Did yesterday’s machine problem have anything to do with the Ruan family?”
As soon as this was said, everyone’s gaze focused on her.
Mei Shu replied, “The police haven’t given a final result yet, so I’m not sure.”
The head of the department frowned, “But if we do nothing and just wait for those useless police to investigate, what’s the difference from sitting ducks?”
Mei Shu leaned on the armrest of her chair, tilting her head, “So what’s your suggestion?”
The head of the department lowered his voice subconsciously, “Why don’t we take the initiative? Since the incident, our company hasn’t actively made any statements online or taken a stance. My suggestion is that we release the results of the tax bureau’s investigation into our accounts online, and use this opportunity to stir up some attention and indirectly target the neighboring Ruan family’s company.”
He meant to use the official account of the Mei Corporation online to publish the investigation results, thereby leading everyone to suspect that the Ruan family indeed committed tax evasion.
Mei Shu smiled approvingly, scanning the crowd, “What do you all think?”
The others pursed their lips, carefully considering.
The head of the department continued, “Mei Shu, this is currently the best option. If it’s really the Ruan family deliberately targeting us, why should we wait? Shouldn’t we strike first before they find an opportunity to bite back?” “Why would they bite back?” Mei Shu was puzzled, “The anonymous report wasn’t made by us.”
The head of the department was momentarily speechless but still tried to persuade, “President Mei, you should seriously consider this proposal. As long as you agree, I’ll immediately have someone edit a statement to ensure that the Ruan family can’t recover!”
“Okay, I’ll think about it.” Mei Shu changed the subject, asking about recent orders and inquiring about progress.
Seeing her discuss other matters, the head of the department secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Mei Shu kept an eye on him the whole time, not missing any hint of his emotions.
After the meeting, Mei Shu returned to her office.
Tang Mei was still sleeping soundly on the sofa.
Mei Shu didn’t have the heart to wake her up, so she took a blanket and covered her, then went back to her desk to work.
Near the end of the day, Mei Shu received a phone call. She answered in a low voice, but unexpectedly, the ringing woke Tang Mei up.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Tang Mei stretched lazily, and the blanket slipped off her. She suddenly sat up, realizing that this wasn’t her comfortable bed at home but President Mei’s office!
This realization sent a chill down her spine, and she quickly got up, carefully folding the blanket and placing it back on the sofa. While Mei Shu was still on the phone, she hurriedly tidied her messy hair in front of the mirror.
“You’re awake.” Mei Shu hung up the phone.
Tang Mei felt inexplicably nervous, subconsciously holding her breath, her face burning hot, “President Mei, sorry, I didn’t expect to sleep for so long! Today, consider me absent. It’s really not right for me to sleep the whole morning and let you work alone!”
“It’s okay, I’m not that petty of a boss.” Mei Shu saw her looking refreshed and nodded reassuringly, “You woke up just in time. I have something for you to do.”
” What is it?” Tang Mei asked curiously.
Mei Shu said, “During the meeting this morning, Liu Yue, the head of the PR department, strongly suggested that I take advantage of the situation to undermine the Ruan family by releasing a statement. What do you think of this idea?”
“Not a good idea at all!” Tang Mei blinked, looking puzzled, “Both of our families were anonymously reported. If we release the investigation results at this time, it’s like suggesting that the Ruan family is innocent!”
“What is Liu thinking! The Ruan family is currently a hidden enemy. Offering an olive branch at this time will only drag us down!”
