150 The Person Behind the Scenes
Shi Wenfei held the phone in her hand tightly. Because she had used too much strength, her fingertips were white and her hands were trembling slightly.
On the phone screen was a statement from Shi Ran’s studio.
[Shi Ran’s Studio] Regarding the rumors about the recent usurpation of the Shi family’s shares, we would like to make the following clarification…
The studio first released a photo. It was of a contract signed with the Shi couple before Old Master Shi passed away.
It was clearly written that the old man would give Shi Ran 5% of the shares. When Shi Ran became an adult, she would have the right to freely control the shares.
If the Shi Baili couple wanted to own this 5% of the shares, they had to adopt her and treat her as their biological daughter.
If they did this, Shi Ran could transfer the shares to the Shi family or someone else who was related to the Shi family later.
The contract was very detailed and clear.
At the end, there were also the signatures of Old Master Shi and Shi Baili which made the contract effective.
[In other words, these shares were originally given to her by Old Master Shi???]
[Damn! Didn’t Shi Wenfei’s parents say that Old Master Shi left these shares for Shi Wenfei??]
[Old Master Shi seemed to have given these shares to Shi Ran in order to let them adopt her. What he means is that these shares were originally hers.]
[It’s obvious that Shi Baili is coveting the shares. But because Shi Ran felt that the Shi family did not fulfill their duty as parents, she refused to give it to them so the Shi family flew into a rage.]
[It’s hers to begin with. How can they have the cheek to say that it’s theirs???]
[Still, didn’t the Shi couple also raise her? It’s not too much to ask for her shares, right?]
[That’s right. Feifei has been missing for so many years. The Shi couple must feel guilty and want to make up for it.]
[What a joke. If Shi Baili wants to make up for it, why didn’t he give up his shares? Why is he still coveting Shi Ran’s shares?]
[But Shi Ran is not from the Shi Family to begin with. It’s meaningless not to let go of her shares, right?]
The matter fermented for about half an hour before Shi Ran suddenly posted on Weibo.
[Shi Ran]: Grandpa left these shares for me before he passed away. He was afraid that I would be bullied when he was not around. He also said that when I become an adult, the shares can be distributed according to my will.
I was not interested in the Shi Family’s shares, and I did not have such lofty vision. I was thinking about what to do with these shares.
The reason why I did not give them my shares was because of my disappointment in them, but I was also grateful for their adoption.
I did plan to give up the shares, but I didn’t expect them to use this method to force me.
I’m not a pushover. I’ll hold them accountable for their accusations. As for the shares, I won’t hold them either.
Just yesterday, I had already transferred the shares to my Uncle for free. Uncle is the CEO of the company and his ability has always been praised by Grandpa.
I believe he will make the Shi family better.
At the end, she attached a photo. It was the last page of the equity transfer agreement. It was signed by her and her uncle.
[F*ck!!! So it’s all Shi Baili framing Shi Ran???]
[They’re too low class. They want to use the pressure of public opinion to force her even before obtaining the shares.]
[Now, they’ve suffered a double loss.]
[Looks like she’s really not interested in the shares. She transferred them just like that. On the other hand, Shi Baili won’t get anything in the end.]
[I remember that the Shi brothers have around the same percentage of shares. If Shi Ran suddenly transfers this 5% to her uncle, doesn’t that mean that they have to change the person in charge?]
[In the end, he just wants to make a dowry for his biological daughter at the expense of Shi Ran.]
[To be honest, Shi Ran didn’t do anything wrong from the beginning to the end, right? The one who adopted her was Old Master Shi. It was also Shi Baili and the others’ decision to continue adopting her.]
[Exactly. It was them who had lost their biological daughter in the first place, not Shi Ran.]
[Shi Ran’s really innocent.]
[She clearly didn’t do anything wrong in this matter. Some brainless netizens criticized her brainlessly, so she has to come out to clarify.]
[Rumors spread like wildfire.]
The more Shi Wenfei looked at it, the more her heart palpitated.
She suddenly stood up and accidentally knocked over the drink on the table.
Glass shattered on the ground, and the drink splashed all over the ground.
However, she couldn’t care less at this moment.
Wen Yufei felt that something was wrong.
She picked up her phone and quickly understood what had happened.
The surprise in her eyes had yet to completely fade.
She did not expect that Shi Ran would really make a comeback.
She even gave the shares to Shi Baili’s brother, causing the Shi family to suffer a huge setback.
But…
Wen Yufei glanced at Shi Wenfei, disdain flashing across her eyes.
She originally thought that Shi Ran had really occupied the shares that belonged to Shi Wenfei.
She did not expect it to be something that this family coveted.
This time, she had really shot herself in the foot.
She had a hand of good cards, but played them utterly terribly.
Wen Yufei despised her in her heart, but she did not show it.
Shi Wenfei couldn’t care less about Wen Yufei’s disdain at this moment.
She immediately called Shi Baili.
Shi Baili was also mentally and physically exhausted.
The pressure from the public opinion was even greater than they had imagined. At this moment, not only was it trending on the entertainment rankings, but it was also on the financial news.
“Dad, the most important thing now is to suppress the popularity of this post. Pay up. No matter how much it costs, we have to suppress this post!” Shi Wenfei said anxiously.
“I’ve tried, but it won’t work. The popularity can’t be brought down at all. Someone is adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes. It’s probably related to your uncle,” Shi Baili said tiredly.
“Then what about removing the trending topic?” Shi Wenfei asked.
No matter what, this trending topic could not stay for long.
Otherwise, she would also be affected.
“It can’t be removed. There must be someone behind this. The popularity of this matter has risen too quickly. It’s not something your uncle can do.”
Shi Baili was helpless.
Shi Wenfei glanced at Wen Yufei from the corner of her eye and said comfortingly, “Dad, don’t worry. I’ll think of a way.”
After hanging up, she turned to Wen Yufei.
“Sister Yufei, I really have no choice in this matter. I still need your help,” Shi Wenfei said humbly.
The Wen Family was a top-notch family.
It was definitely easy for them to reduce the popularity of this post and remove the trending topics.
Moreover, with the Wen family’s financial resources, they might even be able to save her father from danger in the company.
So she had no choice.
Wen Yufei smiled gently. “How do you want me to help you?”
“We might need your father’s help. At the very least, we have to stabilize my father’s position in the company. If the company is snatched away by my Uncle, it will really be over.”
Shi Wenfei thought that Wen Yufei had agreed and said anxiously.
However, in the next second, Wen Yufei’s gentle voice sounded. “I want to help you too, but my father has always been in charge of the company’s matters. He doesn’t want me to interfere.”
She frowned and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I might not be able to help you with this.”
Shi Wenfei looked flustered, but she was sneering in her heart.
Don’t think that she didn’t know that Wen Yufei just wanted to stand by and do nothing.
If the fire did not touch Wen Yufei, why would Wen Yufei make a move?
But it didn’t matter. She had plenty of methods.
At the thought of this, she sighed and sat back down. “This is actually not only helping me, but also helping yourself, Sister Yufei.”
