Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 449 Yu Rulai Comes to Back Us Up

"Regarding the above three points, I want to make the following clarifications: First, Ming Shisui does have powerful backers, and her backer is me. However, she did not use the resources I provided. Otherwise, when she had been with the company for six months, the person in charge of you in this office would not be Supervisor Qin, but her. Second, the claim that Ming Shisui has an ambiguous relationship with someone is utter nonsense. She has so many good resources, which she earned through her own abilities. Most of you received high-quality tutoring orders after joining the company by utilizing the platform provided by the company."

"Ming Shisui, before joining Duxing, had already taught many children from wealthy families with assets of 3000 million or more. Many of you are no match for her. She started earlier and became famous earlier than you. It wasn't that the company favored her, but that clients actively chose her. Third, Ming Shisui did not steal anyone's business."

Yu Ru looked at Meng Nianxi and said, "Ms. Meng Nianxi, please tell us the truth."

Yu Ru had already contacted Meng Nianxi beforehand, asking her to tell the truth in public. Meng Nianxi now fully understood how formidable Yu Ru was, and dared not try to cheat, so she quickly went on stage to clarify the facts.

After she finished speaking, Yu Ru told her to go back to her original spot and wait.

She continued, "I have already told you the truth, but I believe there are still some of you who are so ignorant that you believe what you think is the truth. So I will send a lawyer's letter to every one of you who has spoken ill of Ming Shi Sui. I have saved all the videos of you criticizing Ming Shi Sui behind your backs, and I know who is talking about them."

"Don't harbor any illusions. I will verify everything and prosecute every single person who has made a mistake. We'll see each other in court. Whoever spreads rumors will have to provide evidence. I'll give you a chance to prove how foolish your ignorant ideas are. I have plenty of money. I can slowly sue each of you, drag it out, until you die, until you're bankrupt. Stay tuned."

After saying that, she handed her bag to Ming Shisui to hold, and then walked over to the few people who had been called out by the director and began to slap each of them in turn.

"This slap is for your spreading rumors and your immoral and disorderly conduct."

"This slap is to slap you for spreading rumors and for your improper conduct."

"This slap will strike you down from your envy and resentment."

……

Each slap was delivered with full force, leaving a bright red handprint on their faces. After she finished, she looked at the men and women in front of her for a while, feeling that it had lost some of its beauty. She wanted to slap them again to make their faces symmetrical, but her hands stung with pain, so she had to give up.

Even though the matter was temporarily resolved, she addressed the crowd again: "You're all getting on in years. Don't you understand? When it comes to backers, someone has to be willing to rely on them, and someone else has to be willing to accept them. Not everyone has that luck and ability. If you're jealous that Ming Shi has a backer, go find one yourselves. If you can find one, that's your own skill."

Several people in the crowd looked extremely uncomfortable after hearing her words, and Yu Ru pinpointed those individuals. She walked slowly towards them in her high heels, and the crowd automatically parted to make way for her.

Approaching the group, she smiled at them and said, "Among you, you are the ones who most crave a powerful backer, and you've taken action. You were also the most eager to follow the rumors spread by Ming Shisui. Do you know why you can't find a backer? You all have some potential, but greed has stretched your skin so thin that you've become utterly vulgar. Seeing this kind of sycophantic behavior around for too long is never pleasant, so naturally, noble people won't seek you out."

After saying that, she didn't look at the reactions of the few people, and walked back to the podium and said, "That's it. Meeting adjourned. I would like to remind you again that you should not talk nonsense in private, and online chatting is also not allowed, because I will apply to retrieve your chat history to prove that you are spreading rumors. The more you chat, the longer you will go to jail."

Yu Ru took Ming Shi with her.

After they left, the room fell silent, so quiet that it made everyone's heart sink and they dared not even breathe loudly. Everyone remained standing still.

The head of teaching and research looked at them with some annoyance. "From now on, you all better behave yourselves. We're Duxing, and everyone gets their own salary. Promotions and resources are based on merit, not on your ability to spread rumors and push others down so you can rise to the top. Also, I'll emphasize again, Ming Shisui originally had no backing; you guys fabricated one for her. Now that she actually has a backer supporting her, are you satisfied?"

"You've all seen how powerful her backer is, so you'd better unite with your colleagues, be friendly and help each other, and stop causing trouble. Especially Ming Shi Sui Na, be polite to her, otherwise her backer could bring down Du Xing. Anyone who provokes her again can quit this industry! Everyone disperse and go back to work."

The crowd then dispersed.

Even after get off work, their office remained quiet. No one spoke. Everyone packed up their things and left in a hurry, some to eat, some to go home, and some to attend classes.

Yu Ruzhe

They left Duxing around lunchtime, so they took Mingshi back to Yuguiyuan for dinner.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with this solution?" Yu Ru asked.

"Satisfied, very satisfied! Those bad guys are all afraid of you, baby. Seeing them unhappy makes me happy too," Ming Shi said happily, covering his mouth.

Yu Ru picked up the kettle on the table, poured herself a glass of water, and drank most of it in one gulp. Then she said, "You should be a little more assertive. The rumors are about things that don't exist. Since they don't exist, you don't need to feel ashamed about them. Just go up and ask them what they're talking about, and it would be better to join the discussion. The more afraid and evasive you are, the more people will believe those rumors are true."

Ming Shi nodded vigorously, "I know, baby! I won't be scared next time. I'm going to... I'm going to give them a good scolding!"

“Hmm.” Yu Ru nodded slightly, then turned to look at Liu Bujing beside her. “Liu Bujing, Ming Shisui told me that you want to use your social media accounts to speak out for her. The starting point is good, and it’s a hot topic. The supervisor will be drowned in criticism, but it’s unknown whether it will trigger a worse chain reaction. Next time, report to me first if you have any major actions. You don’t have the capital to cover everything, so you should be more cautious in your actions.”

"Okay, I understand, boss."

After finishing her meal, Yu Ru went to her room and brought back a folder, which she then handed to Liu Bujing.

“Liu Bujing, Ming Shi Sui told me that you want to open a floral design studio. This information contains various flower sourcing channels. You can take a look. If you encounter any problems, come to me, and I can introduce you to some options. You can also contact me if you have insufficient funds or venue issues. However, I'm not helping you for free; consider it an investment, and I will take a share of the profits. Submit a business plan to me within a week. I need to see your specific ideas.”
