A scapegoat. Everything had to have an end. Someone had to take the blame for the huge drop in the stock market. And Pei Xiaowei was almost the choice in everyone's eyes, because her decision had caused the entire market to suffer a huge loss.
This kind of loss was not something that anyone could bear. To bear the responsibility, he had to find someone with sufficient status. But Guan Changqing suddenly stood out at this time. Facing Guan Changqing's sincerity, Mino and Jiang Cheng were stunned. They did not know what to say.
If Jiang Cheng did not say anything and just left the Securities and Exchange Commission. Then tomorrow's news would be about Pei Xiaowei. But Guan Changqing's attitude seemed to be to stand up and apologize for Pei Xiaowei to protect her. What would he get out of doing this?
Guan Changqing was a senior official at his age. If there was such a stain on his career, it would mean stepping down. That meant stepping down. An economic disaster of 100 billion yuan was not something that could be easily compensated for.
Guan Changqing had no other choice but to step down to quell the anger of the shareholders. Pei Xiaowei immediately stood up and said, "Director Guan, this is all because of me. I should be the one … "Before she could finish, Guan Changqing said calmly," No need. I will hold a press conference and end this tomorrow. "
Guan Changqing had already made up his mind. The reason why he did this was because he liked Pei Xiaowei. Pei Xiaowei's strength and determination, as well as the team she led at the Securities and Exchange Commission, had cracked more than 300 billion worth of cases of stock price gouging in just one year.
Guan Changqing wanted to keep this good seedling. He did not want Pei Xiaowei to be a nobody. It was no exaggeration to say that Guan Changqing valued Pei Xiaowei's ability. He even wanted to train her to be his successor. Otherwise, he would not have protected Pei Xiaowei.
Jiang Cheng listened to Guan Changqing's words and did not respond. To be honest, as the victims, he and Mino didn't need to react to Guan Changqing at all. Even if he knew that he had nothing to do with it, there was no need for Jiang Cheng to sympathize with him. If he did something wrong, he had to admit it. It was that simple.
"Oh. Then I'll have to trouble you, "Jiang Cheng said simply and didn't seem to care at all. Mino also lowered her head in silence. The two of them indeed had the capital to look down on Guan Changqing. A company as large as Roaming Dragon could be said to have played a huge role in the stock market.
When Pei Xiaowei dared to touch Jiang Cheng, she should have considered the consequences. If he didn't think it through, then it could only be said that the seedling that Guan Changqing valued was just a blade of grass. It wasn't enough to support the future finance minister. For the entire city's economy, it was even more difficult to control than Roaming Dragon. But Pei Xiaowei had already made a mistake of this level.
"Mister Jiang Cheng and Miss Mino, please help explain at the most crucial time. Otherwise, if such a big matter were to be reported on the news, many people would probably be affected. When it's time to take responsibility, let this old man bear it alone. "At this time, Guan Changqing pleaded with Jiang Cheng and Mino.
His subservient attitude was very unlike a domineering finance minister. Even Jiang Cheng and Mino faintly felt that this was a bit disrespectful. At this time, Pei Xiaowei suddenly took off her glasses and calmly said while rubbing them.
"Chief Guan, there's no need. We, the Securities and Exchange Commission, will take responsibility for this matter. Since it was our mistake, then we will decide it ourselves. Tomorrow, I will publicly apologize to the media and resign as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. "Pei Xiaowei's cold eyes carried a kind of calmness and decisiveness.
After she finished speaking, all the subordinates behind her stood on her side. Everyone looked coldly at Jiang Cheng and Mino as if they were the victims, and Roaming Dragon was the one who bullied them. But Roaming Dragon hadn't done anything wrong, and Jiang Cheng wouldn't apologize for it.
"Little Wei, what nonsense are you saying? This matter has been settled. I will personally apologize to the media. That's it … "Guan Changqing's eyes widened. His face was cold and filled with anger. But Pei Xiaowei raised a hand and stopped Guan Changqing's words.
"I'm sorry, Chief Guan. This is the only bad thing about me, Pei Xiaowei. I may have let you down. I will take responsibility for what I've done. " Pei Xiaowei was a young person after all. She relied on hot blood and impulsiveness to make this kind of decision. She, who wasn't even thirty years old, was going to ruin her future because of this matter.
Even after she left the Securities and Exchange Commission, other financial companies wouldn't dare hire someone like her. After all, this record was too serious. In the future, Pei Xiaowei probably wouldn't even be able to step foot into the financial industry. But under Pei Xiaowei's heroic expression, Jiang Cheng maintained his indifference and turned to leave.
"Up to you. We, Roaming Dragon, have our own way of doing things. "Jiang Cheng's cold and arrogant voice announced the end of this matter. No matter who takes the blame, it has nothing to do with Roaming Dragon. In any case, I, Roaming Dragon, will not cooperate with you in anything.
This was what Jiang Cheng meant. They confidently left the Securities and Exchange Commission and ran into many reporters. Jiang Cheng didn't say a word. He just left the Securities and Exchange Commission under the protection of Zhang Jian and Little White. Guan Changqing, who chased after them, only had time to see Jiang Cheng's back as he got into the car. He could only sigh helplessly.
Guan Changqing thought, Little Pei is finished. Why did he have to provoke someone he can't afford to … As he spoke, he turned and left the Securities and Exchange Commission under the protection of a group of officials. Everyone dispersed. Although the reporters didn't receive any news, just seeing these three groups of people was enough to write about tomorrow's news. So they also dispersed.
The area around the Securities and Exchange Commission suddenly became quiet. In Pei Xiaowei's office in the Securities and Exchange Commission, the teacups that Mino and Jiang Cheng had used were still on the table. She suddenly remembered Jiang Cheng's last words to her: "You have to make a decision. You'll regret it for the rest of your life."
Thinking of this, Pei Xiaowei felt that all the strength in her body was about to be drained. This time, she was really going to regret it for the rest of her life. Pei Xiaowei, who was not even thirty years old, had all her future ended because she had caught the wrong person, Jiang Cheng. Pei Xiaowei's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
She had worked hard to get a Ph.D. in business and had stayed in the legal and political circles for a full five years. By the time she became the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, she was already twenty-nine years old. All her youth had been dedicated to this. However, she had been the Chairman for less than a year, and now she was about to step down.
Pei Xiaowei really regretted it. If she had done more research, she might not have made this kind of mistake. Just then, Dong Yan walked in from outside. He saw Pei Xiaowei's eyes were a little red. He couldn't help but comfort her. "Xiaowei, it's not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I encouraged you to detain Jiang Cheng. I was too impulsive. "
Dong Yan was indeed a young and hot-blooded fellow. He had always been Pei Xiaowei's classmate and liked her since he was young. He had always wanted to show off by Pei Xiaowei's side, but he didn't expect to cause such a big problem. Now even Dong Yan himself understood how serious the situation was.
At this time, Pei Xiaowei shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's just leave it at that. Tomorrow, help me arrange a press conference. The earlier the better. It's best if it's before the market opens. Otherwise, who knows how much stock value will drop. We can't continue to mislead other shareholders. "
After Pei Xiaowei finished speaking, Dong Yan sighed helplessly and said, "Xiaowei, actually, we can still discuss this with Roaming Dragon …" Before Dong Yan could finish, Pei Xiaowei raised her hand and said, "Dong Yan, I'm tired. I'm tired, you go out first. I want to be alone. "
After saying this, Dong Yan's face showed distress. He nodded and left the office. The next day, early in the morning, Pei Xiaowei and Dong Yan had already changed into formal work clothes at the Securities and Exchange Commission. Dong Yan stood at the side while Pei Xiaowei wiped her glasses. She looked at the office with some reluctance.
She had only used this office for a year and had long since gotten used to everything in the room. She didn't think that the owner would change so soon. Thinking about it, Pei Xiaowei couldn't help but smile bitterly. She turned her head and said to Dong Yan, "Let's go, we should go to the press conference."
Dong Yan nodded silently and followed behind Pei Xiaowei. But as soon as they walked out of the door, a girl from the Securities and Exchange Commission immediately ran in front of Pei Xiaowei in panic and said, "Pei … Chief Pei, Roaming Dragon is holding a press conference … They seem to have something to say about yesterday's matter …"
After the girl finished speaking, Dong Yan immediately frowned and said, "We're already holding a press conference to explain. Why do they still want to interfere? Don't they think we're in enough trouble right now?" After Dong Yan finished speaking, Pei Xiaowei stopped Dong Yan's anger and said to the girl.
"Turn on the TV and let me see." Pei Xiaowei was very nervous about what Jiang Cheng would say. If Roaming Dragon also criticized her during the press conference, then Pei Xiaowei might become the target of public criticism. If Pei Xiaowei held a press conference like this, she would definitely receive malicious attacks from all the media.
At this time, at the press conference, Jiang Cheng still hadn't come up. Only Mino was there, and when faced with the reporters' questions, she smoothly answered. She basically didn't answer any questions about yesterday's stock market. Whenever this matter was mentioned, Mino would very politely reply, "Chief Jiang will personally answer this matter later."
As expected, after a while, Jiang Cheng very formally walked out from the backstage. With a serious expression, Jiang Cheng humbly walked to Mino and sat down next to her. At this time, the group of reporters already couldn't help but want to ask about yesterday's stock market, but Jiang Cheng raised his hand to signal for everyone to quiet down.
