With everything tidied up, Meng Jingwei's dead phone had also been fully charged and was ready to be turned on.
She sat on the sofa and opened her phone to find countless messages flooding in, making the phone vibrate incessantly.
However, Meng Jingwei ignored those messages and clicked on the news instead.
"Xiehou Wedding Company Smashed Due to Yesterday's Accident," "Xiehou Wedding Company Smashed, Multiple Staff Injured," "Xiehou Wedding Incident, Qing Family States Position, Will Not Interfere"…
After casually scrolling through a few news items, Meng Jingwei's brow furrowed even deeper.
Back then, when she wanted to go to the wedding company and was refused by Qing Sihai, she had simply thought that reporters were blocking the entrance.
But now, it seemed the situation was far more serious than she had imagined.
Just then, her phone vibrated again.
Looking down, she saw it was a call from her assistant, Shi Ran.
She answered the call and immediately asked, "Shi Ran, what's the situation with the company now?"
"Oh, Sister Wei, your phone finally works. Something's happened. Lin Meng was injured during the chaos this morning, her water broke, and she was rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, the baby in her womb is also safe, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Lin Meng was a wedding planner temporarily hired by the wedding company. She was already pregnant and close to her due date, but unexpectedly, such a thing happened in the end.
Meng Jingwei's heart was filled with a complex mixture of emotions, an unspeakable heaviness and oppression.
She couldn't help but sigh, wishing she had asked her master to come to Lancheng earlier.
If her master had been guarding Xiehou Wedding Company, ordinary people wouldn't have been able to get in, and such things wouldn't have happened.
"Were there any other injuries?"
"Yes, there were also company employees Xiao Chui, A Yue, and Ke Ke. They were all injured. Then yesterday afternoon and this morning, all previous clients canceled their orders and are demanding compensation from us."
On the other end of the phone, Shi Ran briefly explained the company's situation to Meng Jingwei.
Meng Jingwei raised her hand and rubbed her throbbing temples, feeling immense pressure.
"Let the colleagues leave. Safety is paramount. Then call the police."
"I already did, but only two or three police officers came. They can't maintain order at all."
Shi Ran said agitatedly.
Meng Jingwei could hear the continued noise from the phone even through the receiver.
"Listen to me, everyone leave. Equipment is not as important as human life." After speaking, Meng Jingwei hung up the phone.
Then, she grabbed a backpack and went out.
But she didn't go anywhere else; instead, she walked to Xiehou Wedding Company on foot.
When she stood at the entrance of the wedding company, she realized that the main door had been violently dismantled by someone, and a crowd had gathered at the entrance, causing trouble.
Meng Jingwei walked up, looked at the troublemakers, and reached out to pat one of them on the shoulder, "Brother, what's going on here?"
Disguised as a man and deliberately speaking in a male voice, she was not recognized at all.
"What else can it be? This wedding company injured a bride and groom. The person in charge still hasn't come out. So, the Wang family organized us to smash the place."
A man said, waving his fist, "Pay up, pay up. If you don't pay, we'll smash everything in your shop."
Meng Jingwei remained indifferent and continued to ask, "Brother, how much is it per day? Do you need to include your little brother here? Look at me, an electrician, I don't earn much a day. Consider it a side job."
"Get lost, get lost, we don't need anyone else. We're only responsible for causing trouble here for a day, two thousand yuan per person. Good things don't come to you."
The man muttered.
Meng Jingwei then retreated to the side, watching a few police officers struggling to maintain order. One or two dozen people were standing at the entrance shouting loudly and energetically.
The Wang family hired people to cause trouble?
Meng Jingwei's clear bright eyes narrowed slightly. A hunch told her that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
If it were truly the Wang and Li families seeking revenge, then the wronged party should go to Li Dezhi to seek an explanation, rather than causing a scene at the wedding company for compensation.
Were the Wang and Li families people who lacked this little bit of money?
Not at all!
So, what was their purpose in doing this?
Meng Jingwei thought of two possibilities.
First, she was now the adopted granddaughter of Old Mrs. Qing. If the Qing family stood by idly in the event of an accident, it would only attract a series of negative consequences and cause certain economic losses to the Qing family's company; second, these people's intentions were not to drink the wine, but to sabotage Xiehou Wedding Company, or rather, to create a huge stir to cover up the real culprits behind the scenes?
For a moment, Meng Jingwei couldn't guess the other party's purpose, but precisely because of this, it made her even more troubled.
She stood at the entrance of Xiehou Wedding Company, looking at the wedding company she had worked hard to manage for more than half a year, pouring in a lot of effort and dedication, only to end abruptly.
Perhaps, it was her greatest regret.
If the wedding company could have turned things around after the previous incident, then this time, everything had already become a foregone conclusion.
A wedding company that repeatedly had accidents would no longer have any partners.
Because it was inauspicious!
Meng Jingwei then called Shi Ran on her phone and said, "Ranran, please contact every employee of the company and give them three months' salary each, and have them sign resignation contracts. As for the injured colleagues, I will go to the hospital to handle it personally, so you don't need to worry about it."
After giving instructions, Shi Ran nodded.
Then Meng Jingwei transferred a sum of money to Shi Ran via her phone to handle some company matters.
She then made a phone call and went to the police station again.
After finishing all her tasks, Meng Jingwei went home, removed her makeup, changed her clothes, and then went to the hospital.
At the hospital, Meng Jingwei first visited the injured employees and the newly delivered Lin Meng.
As Meng Jingwei entered Lin Meng's ward carrying nutritional supplements, a man holding a baby in the ward saw her and rushed over.
"You are Meng Meng's boss, right?"
The man, with an ordinary appearance and dark skin, was Jiang Quan, Lin Meng's husband.
He handed the infant in his arms to an old woman nearby, strode angrily towards Meng Jingwei, and raised his fist to punch her, "Do you know you almost killed my son? If my son had..."
The punch, however, did not land on Meng Jingwei's face but was caught by her bare hands gripping his wrist.
"Mr. Jiang, the incident your wife experienced was originally an accident, and I understand your anger, but resorting to violence is wrong."
Meng Jingwei, standing at 1.68 meters tall, wearing high heels and a trench coat, exuded a powerful aura as she looked directly at Lin Meng's husband, then shook off his hand, "I came here today to apologize and compensate. Mr. Jiang, why the unnecessary fuss?"
Upon hearing about compensation, Jiang Quan's mother's eyes lit up, "Hahaha, compensation, son, release her hand, let's see how she plans to compensate."
Jiang Quan snorted at his mother's words, turned, and walked inside.
