Secretary Jiang tried to calm her down, "Don’t panic just yet, it’s still not confirmed whether Mr. Shen is on the plane or not.
I’ve already contacted the airline to help verify, and they’ve found people to help search. Let’s wait a bit longer, and if we confirm that Mr. Shen did not board the flight, then we can think of other measures.
Also, there’s another matter. News of Mr. Shen’s plane going missing has somehow been leaked, and the company’s stock has plummeted. The company staff are in turmoil, and the directors are all asking about Mr. Shen’s whereabouts, so someone must come forward to take control of the situation as soon as possible."
Shen Weiyi thought for a moment and said, "Take me to the company first." Secretary Jiang was right, she couldn’t afford to lose her composure now. Maybe her dad just ran into some trouble, and he’d be back soon.
The company was the result of her father’s lifelong dedication, and regardless of whether he was in trouble or not, she had to think of a way to stabilize the company first.
"Okay," Secretary Jiang replied, slightly relieved to hear her words.
He was genuinely worried that she would insist on going abroad to look for someone; never mind what Mr. Shen’s situation was now, she might not be able to help much even if she went to an unfamiliar place.
The most urgent tasks were to confirm whether Mr. Shen had boarded the flight and to arrange the search for him afterward, and secondly, to resolve the company’s issues.
Normally, he could handle the problems, but with the current situation, he was afraid that his presence alone couldn’t convince the directors.
Shen Weiyi, as the company’s sole heir and holding eighty percent of the shares, would be the most suitable to step forward.
However, considering her extreme youth and lack of any experience managing the company, Secretary Jiang wasn’t sure whether she would be able to steady the ship.
But at the moment, unless Mr. Shen himself appeared to dispel the rumors, there seemed to be no better solution.
Shen Weiyi didn’t go straight to the company; instead, she went back to the villa first.
Showing up at the company in her current state would only fuel external speculation. She had to present herself in the best condition possible if she were to stand a chance of dealing with those old foxes in the company.
With Sheng Ting and Secretary Jiang accompanying her, Qin Zhen and Shen Jingqi went back to school first.
Shen Weiyi returned to the villa, freshened up, changed her clothes, and then set off for the company. Just as she got out of the car, she saw the elder Mr. Shen and Uncle Shen, along with Second Uncle, also getting out of their car.
Shen Weiyi couldn’t help but narrow her eyes suspiciously; what were they doing at the company at a time ?
On the other side, the members of the Shen Family also saw her and stopped, waiting for her to approach. Although Shen Weiyi wanted to ignore them and walk away, she was, after all, in public with many eyes on her, and now was not the time for news of her discord with the Shen Family to spread, especially during the company’s critical time.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth in her palm; it was Sheng Ting holding her hand. However, he quickly let go.
She knew he was reminding her.
Shen Weiyi pursed her lips slightly and then walked towards Grandfather Shen and his entourage, greeting them, "Grandpa, Uncle, Second Uncle."
Mr. Shen looked at her, then his eyes moved to Sheng Ting and Secretary Jiang behind her.
He recognized Secretary Jiang, but as for Sheng Ting, he seemed somewhat familiar, though he couldn’t recall where from—perhaps it was age making it difficult to remember. But given that Sheng Ting was with that girl at such a time, it suggested they had a special relationship.
However, seeing that Sheng Ting was young, Mr. Shen didn’t consider him important at the moment, especially since it wasn’t the time to probe into their relationship. After a brief glance, he looked away.
Being an old fox in the business world for so many years, he knew the imprudence of speaking in public with so many onlookers; thus, he nodded slightly at her and spoke, "Let’s go inside to talk."
