The scandal of Gu Qingyue exposed on the Internet was like a powerful Internet storm, spreading rapidly at an astonishing speed.

In just a few hours, the number of readings of related topics soared exponentially like a ignited powder keg, easily breaking the one billion mark.

The volume of discussion was like a surging tide, one wave after another, quickly reaching a staggering level of 50 million, becoming the focus of heated discussion on the entire network.

On social platforms, netizens have transformed themselves into messengers of justice and spontaneously formed a "punitive army."

They used harsh words and launched merciless attacks on Jiang Chengjun and Fang Wenwen.

"These two people have absolutely no moral bottom line. They will do anything for money. They must be severely punished!" "Jiang Chengjun looks like a decent person, but he actually did such a thing. It's disgusting. I will never trust him again!" Similar comments filled the screen like snowflakes, and each one was filled with anger and contempt.

As the incident unfolded, the details of Jiang Chengjun and Fang Wenwen's private lives were ruthlessly revealed bit by bit.

Jiang Chengjun's home address, phone number, ID number and other sensitive and private information were spread wantonly in the vast ocean of information on the Internet without any concealment.

Even his unknown dark history during his student days, such as being caught cheating in exams and fighting with classmates, were dug out one by one by the resourceful netizens and made public.

Fang Wenwen was not spared either. Her past records of extravagant consumption and conflicts and disputes with others were turned upside down.

Fang Wenwen hid at home with the curtains closed, and the room was dark.

Her cell phone kept flashing and the notification sounds kept coming. It was a constant stream of abusive text messages and missed calls.

With trembling hands, she tried to pick up the phone several times, but then pulled back in fear.

“How could this happen… How could it be exposed…” Her voice was tearful and her eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

Jiang Chengjun was equally worried. He sat in a messy office. On the computer screen in front of him, the company's stock price curve fell like a cliff.

He held his head in his hands, feeling extremely regretful. He thought everything was under control, but he did not expect to end up in such a desperate situation.

At this moment, Fang Wenwen called, her voice tearful: "Chengjun, what should we do? I'm so scared, everyone is scolding me now..."

Jiang Chengjun rubbed his temples irritably and shouted, "What's the use of crying! If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have listened to you. Now I am like this, it's all because of you!"

Fang Wenwen was frightened by his roar and said aggrievedly: "What's the point of blaming me now? Let's think of a solution together."

Jiang Chengjun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "I'm trying to find a way to do public relations, but the shareholders are forcing me, and the company is about to fall apart."

"What about Gu Fanxing? Will she pursue legal responsibility?" Fang Wenwen's voice trembled. She didn't dare to imagine the consequences of facing legal sanctions.

"I don't know, but he will definitely not let us go easily." Jiang Chengjun felt panicked when he thought of Gu Fanxing's possible revenge.

The two fell into silence, fear and despair overwhelmed them like a tide. They both knew that this crisis was far from being easily resolved.

After learning the news, the company's shareholders immediately held an emergency meeting.

The atmosphere in the conference room was suffocatingly depressing, like the dead silence before a storm, and a layer of dark clouds covered everyone's face.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Chengjun. Their eyes were filled with anger, disappointment, and doubt, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Mr. Wang, the company's major shareholder, took the lead in attacking. He stood up suddenly and slammed the table so hard that the documents on the table jumped up. "Jiang Chengjun, what the hell are you doing? Because of your scandal, the company's stock price plummeted and our assets shrunk significantly. You must give everyone a reasonable explanation!" His voice was as loud as a bell, echoing in the conference room, full of anger and majesty.

Another shareholder, Mr. Li, was not to be outdone and followed suit, reprimanding, “In the beginning, we supported you in taking charge of the company’s affairs because we valued your ability, but we didn’t expect you to do something so immoral, which seriously damaged the company’s reputation! Now all partners are waiting and watching, and some have even directly requested to terminate the contract. What do you think we should do?”

His eyes revealed deep disappointment, as if he was looking at a hopeless person.

Jiang Chengjun lowered his head, not daring to look the shareholders in the eye, his face turning red and white.

He tried to explain, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was drowned out by the angry accusations of the shareholders.

"It's already this late, and you're still quibbling! The evidence is irrefutable, how can we trust you?" A shareholder roared angrily, his voice full of distrust of him: "Jiang Chengjun, this incident is a devastating blow to the company. The brand image we have worked hard to build over the years has collapsed overnight because of you. If you can't recover the company's losses this time, don't blame us for being ruthless. After all, our money is not pie in the sky."

Jiang Chengjun opened his mouth, but found his throat so dry that he couldn't make a sound.

His eyes wandered around the conference room in panic, his hands tightly grasped his hair, and his heart was filled with deep fear and regret.

At this moment, he finally realized how serious the mistake he had made was. This crisis was far beyond his control. He seemed to be in a dark abyss and could not find a way out.

Just when Jiang Chengjun was getting overwhelmed, the company's founder, Mr. Jiang, sat behind a large desk with a terribly gloomy face. His former majesty now added a bit of oppression.

"Cheng Jun, you've caused a big disaster this time!" Old Master Jiang sighed heavily, his voice low but full of unquestionable majesty, "It's not easy for the company to develop to this day, and so many people have put their hard work into it. Because of your behavior, the stock price plummeted, shareholders were panicked, and partners withdrew their investment. If you can't handle this matter well, you can expect to lose your position as president!"

Jiang Chengjun lowered his head, not daring to look his grandfather in the eye, and stammered, "Grandpa, I...I know I was wrong, I will find a way to solve it."

"Solve? How are you going to solve it?" Old Master Jiang slammed the table.

Jiang Chengjun's body trembled slightly, the position of CEO was the result of his hard work over the years, he never thought that his momentary confusion could make it all come to naught.

But he knew in his heart that the threat was far more than that.

Once Gu Fanxing finds out that she has been betrayed, she will probably not let it go.

It is entirely possible for her to pursue legal responsibility. After all, during their relationship, her and Fang Wenwen's behavior was not only immoral, but may even involve legal issues such as fraud and embezzlement of property.

If it really comes to that, I will face legal sanctions and end up losing both my life and my money.

At the same time, Jiang Chengjun's business rivals also showed their fangs.

They acted quickly and secretly contacted important customers and core team members of Jiang Chengjun's company.

In just a few days, more than half of the important customers announced the termination of cooperation and turned to cooperate with competitors.

People within the company were in panic and daily operations were in chaos.

The progress of several important projects underway is seriously lagging behind.

Jiang Chengjun ran around trying to save the situation, but everything was to little avail, he was like a sailor struggling alone in a storm, no matter how hard he tried, he could not stop the ship from being swallowed by the huge waves.

Faced with the company's huge losses, shareholders' anger, competitors' taking advantage of his misfortune and employees' betrayal, Jiang Chengjun felt unprecedented despair.

His actions have pushed himself into an abyss from which there is no return.
