Chapter 5 Don't Prove Your Innocence
"How is your uncle doing?" Fu Baiqing was alone now, so he used this form of address without any hesitation.

“My dad is fine. The doctor said he’s already awake.” Even though it was Fu Baiqing, Ming Wei was still wary of him, so she could only describe Ming Hui’s condition in a positive light.

"That's good." Hearing Ming Weiyi's reply, Fu Baiqing was neither happy nor unhappy.

"President Fu, what are your plans next?" Ming Wei also changed how she addressed Fu Baiqing; this was no longer a casual chat between relatives.

"The legal department first sent lawyer's letters to several bloggers who spread rumors, and then the public relations department used our quality inspection report to clarify this rumor..."

"However, the Ministry of Justice will take at least several months to handle this case. Even if we clarify the situation and win the case after several months, our reputation and public image will be ruined."

Ming Weiyi's words left Fu Baiqing speechless for a moment: "The rival company is just relying on public opinion to bring down a company, which is why they resorted to such despicable tricks."

"Furthermore, our competitors can hire online trolls to claim that the food we sample is all recent, while what they're eating is food produced a long time ago, rendering our quality inspection results worthless..."

Fu Baiqing felt that Ming Weiyi's words made a lot of sense. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Therefore, we don't need to prove our innocence. We should let those who are trying to smear us prove that what they say is true. But since this is all fabricated, they can't prove themselves at all!"

"That's roughly the idea! President Fu is indeed President Fu!" Ming Wei had only raised her questions and opinions, but she didn't expect Fu Baiqing to get her point so quickly.

In that instant, Mingwei finally understood why Minghui promoted Fu Baiqing so quickly and why he enjoyed taking Fu Baiqing out to discuss business.

Hearing his cousin's praise, Fu Baiqing happily continued, "Since they spread rumors about us on short video platforms, we should also get our revenge there."

Short video platform? Ming Weiyi suddenly recalled the press conference that Qi Fei had just shown her. The new energy CEO had immediately topped the trending list and gained many female fans because of his good looks. The Ming family could also push someone up there, and wasn't Ming Chengze the one in the Ming family with such good looks?

"I think I know what to do!" "Then I'll wait and see what the young lady does." It's only natural for the young lady of the Ming family to handle the crisis of the Ming Group, especially since she's sharing Fu Baiqing's burdens. Why wouldn't he be happy to do so?

As evening fell, the heavy rain of the previous night washed away much of the city's grime, and the sunset painted the skyscrapers with dazzling colors.

In the corridor of a regular ward, patients who wanted to recover actively cooperated with their families to carry out rehabilitation training after dinner, while those who could not get out of bed could only lie quietly in bed and look at the clouds outside the window.

In the private hospital room, Yan Jie personally wiped Ming Hui's face with a towel, while Ming Hui, lying on the bed, simply stared at her with his eyes open.

thump... thump...

Two soft knocks broke the quiet atmosphere in the ward. Yan Jie looked behind her and saw that the person who came was an old friend she hadn't seen for many years!
Yan Jie stood up in surprise and looked at the middle-aged man who walked into the ward. The middle-aged man was dressed casually, while the young man behind him was wearing a custom-made suit.

"Jianhua! It's you... What brings you here?"

“I brought Pei Ming to Jiangcheng yesterday for a press conference. I was planning to invite you and your family to dinner today, but when I found out, I found out that Minghui is in the hospital…” Pei Jianhua said, looking at Pei Ming behind him.

Pei Ming greeted Yan Jie very politely, "Aunt Yan, it's been so many years, do you still remember me?"

After saying that, Pei Ming placed all the various expensive tonics he was carrying on the sofa next to him.
