Chapter 217 - 217: The Reputation of the Translation Institute
Ning Sheng didn’t know whether to be happy or upset when she heard this.
Ning Yao Wu and Wang Gui Lan weren’t her biological parents.
In other words, she was abandoned by her birth parents?
The more she thought about it, the harder it was to be happy.
“Sheng Sheng, let’s go home,” Lu Chu Yao held her close. “Don’t overthink it.”
Meanwhile, chaos erupted on the internet.
The Translation Institute, known for its strictness, was suddenly embroiled in this incident. Paparazzi were on the scene, and even passersby witnessed the violent altercation at the front gate of the Translation Institute.
The participants of the incident were the institute’s gatekeeper, the junior translation officer Ning Sheng, and a couple from out of town.
Gossip reporters released the footage and also narrated:
[Today, a public disturbance occurred at the main gate of the Translation Institute. Translation Officer Ning instigated the security guard to assault her biological parents, showing complete disregard for the Institute’s reputation and solemnity. This has turned this strict institution into a laughingstock for everyone.]
The accompanying video showed the security guard and Ning Yao Wu physically fighting while Wang Gui Lan laid on the ground, whining. Ning Sheng stood by the side, apathetic, making a phone call. Although the faces of the individuals involved were blurred, it was still clear what was happening.
The netizens were furious.
They were completely swayed by the video!
[What’s the use of all that education if she behaves like this?!]
[She doesn’t respect her parents at all!!]
[Expel her! Expel her! Expel her!!!]
Because of this, the reputation of the Translation Institute was also affected.
The Translation Institute had always held a high status, but now for the first time, they faced criticism for their selection and evaluation of individuals. The Institute was accused of being hasty in hiring Ning Sheng, not evaluating her based on character, just her achievements.
Chen Nan Shan was getting a headache.
Why were there so many issues recently? Was it bad luck for the Translation Institute?!
“Director, I think we should appease the netizens.” Academician Zhong Lin suggested.
Senior translation officer Jin Wei Xuan also spoke up, “After all, this matter concerns the reputation of our translation institute. We need to investigate Ning Sheng’s case and give her a fair judgment.”
“Was it Ning Sheng’s parents who came here today?” Chen Nan Shan asked.
“Probably…” No one was certain.
After all, they all knew Ning Sheng to be gentle and considerate, always mindful of others’ feelings. Who could have imagined she had such unreasonable parents? A staff from the Translation Institute had even been beaten and was still in the hospital.
And now, the public opinion suddenly turned against them?!
“Director, this matter should not be blamed on Ning Sheng. Ning Sheng’s parents are notorious for causing trouble and frequently making things difficult for her,” Jiang Ye Xu said with concern.
Would Ning Sheng’s parents do something even more terrible?
Chen Nan Shan was speechless.
He didn’t know what Third Young Master thought about this. If he didn’t give a definite answer, he might have to dismiss Ning Sheng under the pressure of public opinion.
After all, those so-called marketing accounts believed they had solid evidence.
There were also bystanders who witnessed the incident.
And now, the reputation of the Translation Institute was in bad shape.
“How are we going to explain this? The evidence on the internet is conclusive. Even if Ning Sheng had a thousand mouths, she couldn’t explain it. The video shows her indifferently watching her parents being bullied, that much is true, right?” Gao Ya Li, who usually remained silent, spoke up.
The situation was detrimental for Ning Sheng.
“Don’t you understand Ning Sheng’s character?” Jiang Ye Xu was unusually angry.
Gao Ya Li retorted, “We do understand, but do the people on the internet understand?”
