My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 1408: Chapter 1408: The World in an Uproar

Li Chenggui, Ma Qianqiu, Huang Jingwei, Chen Tiande, and Zheng Zhonghai, the five leading figures of the Northwest Business Community, had gathered once again due to the controversy surrounding Ye Fan.

Whether or not Ye Fan had instructed how to deal with Guan Shaoqiu, this matter was significant to them and demanded their attention.

Especially since Guan Shaoqiu was an employee under Li Chenggui, naturally, Li Chenggui bore some responsibility for this issue.

"When has Mr. Ye ever been cursed by so many people, with online remarks being extremely unpleasant? Without exaggeration, Mr. Ye’s ancestors of eighteen generations have been greeted. We can’t just stand by and watch this happen. Since someone under Brother Li offended Mr. Ye, this becomes everyone’s issue. Before Mr. Ye gets angry or takes action, we need to resolve this matter. Let’s handle such a minor issue for Mr. Ye; we can’t trouble him to deal with it personally." Ma Qianqiu said indignantly.

"Absolutely, as the five families, we share fortunes and losses. Encountering such matters is everyone’s concern," Huang Jingwei declared with a righteous air.

Chen Tiande said, "Mr. Ye has been insulted in such a manner. The personnel involved must be severely punished, not a single one let off."

"Guan Shaoqiu, the main perpetrator, cannot be spared, and others should also be warned appropriately," Zheng Zhonghai added.

Ma Qianqiu, Huang Jingwei, Chen Tiande, and Zheng Zhonghai had voluntarily come to assist Li Chenggui. Logically, with Li Chenggui taking the lead, the four naturally followed suit without any negotiation.

However, the four also wanted to indirectly help Ye Fan with some matters and aspired to be the leaders in punishing Guan Shaoqiu rather than mere assistants. Hence, they eagerly came to work alongside Li Chenggui.

Working for Mr. Ye—such a great honor—how could they let Li Chenggui do it alone? Naturally, they wanted to be involved as well.

How could Li Chenggui not understand this sentiment? He didn’t point it out, seeing everyone being seemingly supportive.

"Controlling public opinion is easy for us," Li Chenggui said. "The key now is how to deal with Guan Shaoqiu and those who aid him. If we handle it too harshly, it’s our fault. But if we handle it too lightly and Mr. Ye is displeased, it’s also our responsibility. We need to work out a protocol on how to punish these people."

"In my opinion, even killing wouldn’t be excessive," Chen Tiande recklessly stated.

"Killing is too excessive; Mr. Ye probably doesn’t have such thoughts. Therefore, we shouldn’t harbor unworthy thoughts," Huang Jingwei said.

The five discussed, fearing they might overdo it and fail to aid Mr. Ye properly, inciting his displeasure, a responsibility they dared not bear.

Zheng Zhonghai spoke solemnly, "We can’t grasp the balance here. Therefore, we shouldn’t aim for merit but to avoid blame. Focus on severely punishing Guan Shaoqiu, leaving him with no standing in the industry. As for others who support him, warning will suffice, and there’s no need for widespread upheaval."

"Punishing the main culprit and being lenient towards accomplices—wouldn’t that be too merciful?" Chen Tiande carelessly said.

"I think it’s fine, aiming to avoid blame rather than seeking merit," Li Chenggui agreed with this suggestion. "We dare not commit murder, as that would provoke Mr. Ye’s anger. We have to be more conservative."

"In that case, let’s carry out this plan," Huang Jingwei said.

The five reached a unanimous decision and issued a joint statement declaring that Guan Shaoqiu would have no standing in the industry.

The release of this news shocked the world.

The decision made jointly by the dignified leaders of the Northwest’s five families was indeed astonishing.

The business world shook.

The media buzzed.

The entertainment industry was especially stirred, causing global surprise.

What amazed everyone was that this matter hadn’t ended yet; it was just beginning.

Soon, an even bigger development shocked everyone.

Lu Binwang, the Patriarch of the Northeast Lu Family, responded to Li Chenggui and the five’s decision, targeting Guan Shaoqiu.

In the south, Tang Jian’an and Song Tianba of the Tang Family and Song Family also responded to Li Chenggui and the five’s decision, targeting Guan Shaoqiu.

The Wang Family in Hong Kong and Taiwan responded as well.

The Guo Family in Macao and those aligned with the God of Gamblers lineage also followed the decision made by Li Chenggui and the five.

The Northeast Guo Family, the Southern Tang Family and Song Family, as well as the Wang Family and Guo Family in Hong Kong and Macao—these five families, in terms of wealth and status, surpassed Li Chenggui and others’ achievements.

Even Li Chenggui and the five hadn’t anticipated such events.

"What’s going on with the Northeast Lu Family?" Li Chenggui was stunned.

"The Jiangnan Tang Family—a presence we have to look up to even combining our five families’ wealth," Huang Jingwei was dumbfounded.

"Has Song Tianba gone mad? The Song Family isn’t supposed to be mortal enemies with Mr. Ye, right? I remember, Song Family’s Miss Song Meimei used to cling to Mr. Ye," Chen Tiande was incredulous.

"We know the God of Gamblers respects Mr. Ye immensely, but why is the Macao Wang Family also giving such face? Openly showing support to us, but secretly favoring Mr. Ye," Ma Qianqiu said, astonished.

"When did Mr. Ye’s reputation reach a level even we can’t fathom?" Zheng Zhonghai was speechless.

The five hadn’t expected such tremendous influence with so many families supporting them with a stunning momentum, unexpectedly revealing Ye Fan’s unimaginable terrifying influence.

The Northeast Lu Family, the Southern Tang Family and Song Family, the Wang Family in Hong Kong and Macao, the Guo Family in Macao.

The pilots of these family heads, like Lu Binwang, hadn’t even heard Guan Shaoqiu’s name, but after some probing, they knew what Guan Shaoqiu had done.

Mr. Ye had been cursed by so many, and thus the main perpetrator naturally had to bear certain responsibilities.

With such a rare chance to favor Mr. Ye, how couldn’t they seize the opportunity?

Guan Shaoqiu, possessing a certain level of clout, had to bear responsibility for his words.

They weren’t concerned whether they had heard of the name Guan Shaoqiu, but punishing him was urgent.

Ordinarily, a celebrity’s name known by such dignitaries would be a good thing, as no celebrity had reached such a height and influence.

However, now Guan Shaoqiu’s name was known by them.

Regrettably, this wasn’t fortune.

But a colossal disaster.

Guan Shaoqiu didn’t even warrant such prominence, for so many luminaries to know his name.

Nor warrant acceptance of such a grave disaster.
