Chapter 806: Power and Influence
Xiao Lingye directly ignored the rumors and slanders directed at him on campus.
The corners of his mouth curled up. It was obvious that this was set up by his good partners.
“Ye, what exactly is going on?” His roommate, Hu Dongjun, asked Xiao Lingye in puzzlement.
Xiao Lingye raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, “Do you believe those rumors too?”
Hu Dongjun immediately said, “You already said that those are all rumors. Besides, the three of us have been in the same dorm as you for three to four years. We know what kind of person you are.”
His roommates An Ran and Ning Junpeng nodded in unison and said, “We only believe in you.” Then, the three of them asked in unison, “Tell us. What’s going on?”
Xiao Lingye spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders. He said indifferently, “What can it be? It’s just a small scheme designed by them to kick me out of the company.”
The three of them were shocked and immediately understood.
“So, your partners are trying to get rid of you, right?” An Ran immediately asked.
Xiao Lingye nodded and said, “Yes, you can say that!” Then he said, “Two days ago, I agreed to quit the company and just sell them my shares. I didn’t expect that they would come up with this plan instead. It seems that they want to tarnish my reputation. They want to get the shares from me without paying a single cent.”
“They’ve gone too far. They’re simply dreaming!” Ning Junpeng said indignantly.
“Ye, what are you going to do now?” An Ran asked worriedly, “The rumors on campus are ridiculous. Even if we want to clarify it, it’s hard without real evidence.”
The four of them did not come from good families. They came from the countryside, but their grades were good. Xiao Lingye was better than them in terms of looks, eloquence, and ability. Otherwise, he would not have been called the model student.
In the face of these rumors, they were helpless. On campus, not everything was based on results. Sometimes, the influence was very important.
The few people who co-founded the company with Xiao Lingye had a certain amount of family influence in Beijing.
Hu Dongjun also asked worriedly, “Ye, have you thought of a solution?”
Seeing that his three roommates were really worried about him, Xiao Lingye laughed heartily and said, “You’ve known me for so long. Do you think I’ll be defeated by these rumors?”
After saying this, he gave each of them a pat on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll deal with whatever comes our way. I have a way to resolve this matter.”
He had already found the real evidence. Even if he couldn’t solve this, he still had his sister and brother-in-law behind him.
If they wanted to turn this into a competition of background, he really wanted to see who could be his match.
Of course, unless it was absolutely necessary, he definitely didn’t want to expose his relationship with Gong Tianhao.
When the three roommates heard this, they smiled with some relief and said, “Since you’re so confident, then we can put down our worries. Ye, we believe in you and will definitely be able to handle it.”
“Good brothers, thank you.” Xiao Lingye said with a smile.
